THE PUBLIC FORUM
"AMERICA"

"AMERICA" IN THE PARKS
There is no song more universally
sung at public gatherings in America
than the anthem America" The
words and music of no other patri-
otto song are as familiar to the
masses of our people as are the word
of the anthem America" Why is it
then that at the public band concerts
in our parks it is so seldom played or
sung? Is there a conspiracy to drive
it from it's just place as the national
anthem, and are public officials who
have charge of these concerts impi-
Gated in that conspiracy? Let the
people assembled at these public
music tests in our parks on every oc-
casion call for it, and if there be such
conspiracy it will be speedily crushed
and the .conspirators defeated.-W.
F. Bigelow.

SCHOOL CONTROL,

SCHOOL CONTROL.-ghe note
struck rings clear and true on the
assertion that the Catholics have as
good a right to protest against Prot
estant teachers as the Protestants to
protest against Catholic teachers.
The point that the American
makes is that neither the Protestant
nor the Catholic should influence the
public school with their controver-
sizes on religion and that the teachers
who hold to this American idea
should predominant and control not
only the schools, but elect the di-
rectors of those schools from their
own ranks or from educators ranks
whose business is education.
The school policies and elections
should be referrable to the people, as
a last resort, in case of controversy,
as they are the ones most vitality
concerned.

FOREIGN POPULATION.

 The census bureau has been trying to determine the exact number of people of German birth who side in the United States Combining the figures of the of 1910 with those compiled by the immigration authorities since. finds that there residing in the United States 2,603,776 persons born in Germany.
 During 1911 there but 24 7S1 German immigrants into the United States; in 1912 20031; in 1913 29145 and in 1914 2S 46S Since August 1914 there have very few Germans to reach the United States from Europe The beginning of the ended immigration from that although it had been practically neg ligble for many years past
 The bureau estimates, however that there in the country S2S26S people of German descent which is rather elastic term At that, the people of Ger birth and descent number but per cent of the population of the country whole The largest population of German birth descent proportionatey is in the Middle Atlantic states, and the Middle Western states
 In the state of Washington, according to the of 1910 the people of German birth numbered 29 3SS about 2a cent of the entire population The resi- dents of this of Canadian British birth numbered that time S6193, and of these Canada trbuted than country of the British islands The number of citizens of the United residing in this whose parents, the other natives of Germany, is given by the figures 5SO96 substantially per of the entire popu- lation of the state

Photographic news tells us that the betting on the chances of the various candidates for the nomination for the presidency on the republ- can ticket, favors Roosevelt This is perfectly natural. Roosevelt has always been the favor ite, and that among the republicans and demo- crats alike; at least with the masses. Roosevelt is the logical candidate of the republican party and the only man known today to possess the proper qualifications to steer the country thru these troublesome times without losing the na- tion's self respect. The country wants the re- publican party in power again, of that there can be no doubt. At the same time, the voters will hold the democratic party in power unless Roose- welt is allowed to head the republican party. That's positive.

WET OR DRY IS NEXT.

The court has adjourned and our curiosity has been satisfied We have had time to do all our gossiping and we should be ready now to get down to business on hand and think seriously about the next step to take, which IS the ques- tion of whether Ketchikan should be WEI or DRY. e,
 Enumerators have taken the names ot those eligible to vote on the question. That your name has not been taken by the enumerators' however. does not disqualify you from voting. The judge of the election will require that you be sworn and your vote will be sealed ln an en- velope for that purpose. In the event ot tie or a close vote, your ballot IS taken out ana counted according to your expressed wish :.
 The issue is not new, everybody has heard o1 it. know about it and has formed his conclusion. The fact that we honestly believe that wet or dry should prevail in Ketchikan, should not les sen us in the public eye. Only the bigots cannot grant the right to others the same privilege they demand They want consistency of us while they refuse to be consistent themseiVes But that is neither here nor there; the question is whether we can afford to lose the revenue de- rived from the sale of liquor or not. Ii we can build our school, maintain our streets, hre de- partment, police department; in other words our municipal government without the saloons let us vote dry, otherwise we must vote wet.

THE SPIDER CHASER.

It is said that when Mark Twain was editor of Missouri newspaper, subscriber wrote 10 him that he had found spider in his paper, ana asked him whether 1t was a slgn o1 gooo or pau luck The famous humorist wrote this answer:
 "Old Subscriber - Finding spider in your paper was neither good nor bad luck The spid- CT was merely looking to see which merchant IS not advertising, so he can go to that store, spln his web across the door and lead life ot undls- turbed peace forever after
 We wonder how many spiders are lurking around Ketchikan, around our public or civic institutions waiting for some such opportunities as Mark Twain described. If we want our city to prosper we must bring in more people But people will not come here unless we advertlse what opportunities are here If a storekeeper wants to increase his sales, he must advertise

what he has to sell he must interest the buy ing public. When he fails to capitalize that public interest he invites the spider. The Seattle people saw an opportunity to increase their pros perity, they grasped it and advertised their city Result - prosperity. In Alaska, Juneau, Fair banks and other places followed the example and have forged ahead. Why shouldn't Ketchi- kan do the same?

ARMY MOVEMENTS } t
 ARE MADE SECRETLY
(By B. F. Fly)

Thirty-one carloads of soldiers pass ed through Yuma last night from the west to eastern points on the border, presumably for Douglas or NOgales. Just where the soldiers came from or the exact point of their destination is not known by any one in Yuma ex- cept the railroad officials, and, in ac- cord with instructions, they refuse to give any information on the subject.
 There are several rumors afloat as to who the soldiers were, the most plausible of which is that it was an ambulance train from San Francisco, bound for Columbus and thence along the line down to Gen. Pershing's head quarters, to be used as he may desig nate.
 It would require just about 31 cars 10 carry all the men and equipment of a full ambulance corps together with artillery and bridge-repairing crew.
 At Camp French nothing was at all known of the movements of this inn mense train of troops, nor did Los An geles know anything about it. It is certain, however, that the train pass ed through Yuma this morning at about o'clock. This much is known because the traip was seen by several )f our citizens and is admitted by rail- road officials.
 There is no indication thus far that Col French and his battalion will be removed from Yuma. This will prob ably remain regimental headquarters for some time to come. One of the 5attalions is located at Nogales, one at CaleXico and the other here In the event of war with Mexico the .hree battalions instantly will be brought together here under Colonel French as commanding officer, unless in the meantime he shall have been promoted to brigadier general, in which event Col. Baker would become the ranking officer of the 21st regi- ment.

 HAS CHANGED HANDS

William R. Harper, an employe of the Yuma Electric & Water company gas plant, today purchased the Paul Fertig place on lot P, block 103, on Ninth avenue near Second street. MT. Harper came to Yuma with his family some three months ago from Costa rica and was also here several years ago. MT. Fertig has for the five years past worked as linotype operator for the Yuma Daily Examiner, and soon expects to take a short vacation with his family on the coast, after which he will build or rent a place closer to his work.
