ers are not discounting the 1916
play OF such phenomenal young
sters as Bobby Jones and Perry

they did in 1916. Jones is Il and
Adair three years older.
The remarkable success Of
these youngsters in golf is ascribed

BY BILLY CAIRNS.

At a recent meeting of the di-
rectors of the Arletta Library as
ISOLATION it was decided not to
have a baseball team in the field
this season. The reason for this
action was that some of the
stockholders in the association
were opposed to financing a ball
team. Baseball will therefore be
abandoned. When the PROPOSE
ton was taken to a vote it failed
to carry.

SHALL WE LEAD?

Shall we lead the procession in the coming Red Cross drive, or shall we content ourselves to be merely followers? That is the question which we must answer with our action, beginning to- morrow.
 From experience we can truthfully say that it is just as much impossible for the people of Ketchikan to be followers instead of leaders, as it would be for Juneau to be without the Taku wind Which is impossible also, therefore we are confident that at the end of the race we shall be away ahead of any community-as usual Let her go; the drive is on.
 This time, everybody will be asked to con- tribute, because the need is there and the cause is worthy. That alone should be sufficient to insure success; but it isn't all by any means. It strikes Us very forcibly that this drive has two purposes in view One is to help those who need assistance during this great struggle; and the other, which is of greater importance to our country. is to discover who is who. The v':niag- ness to help determine our sympathy; will force Us to show our colOrs and the sooner this is done the better t shall be for the country
 However, from tomorrow, the drive is on and as usual Ketchikan leads

IT IS WELL.

Reports from Juneau say that Governor Strong has been requested to suspend the opera tion of the eight-hour law which is, or was, to take effect from and after January 1, 1918. The requests, besides those made by several organ izations in Alaska was made by Secretary Lane and the food administrator who claim that so far as the fishing industry is concerned, the op- eration of the law will be detrimental to the well fare of the country at this time as it would cur tail the food product. And so it would. Not only that but it would increase the price of fish, and goodness knows, it is high enough now. But what about other industries dependent upon the fishing industry, such as the sawmls, for in- stance. Are they to be made to comply with the fool law? If they are, then the price of canned fish must come up because the canners will have to pay more for their boxes. The sawmills will have to pay more for the logs; in crease the number of employees and raise the price on boxes and consequence, the price of fish will increase; and there you are.

This should not surprise any one While the necessity for such action is deporabe, involving as it probably will. greater anoyances for harmless persons of Austro-Ger- man blood, it has long been desirable
 Our enemies have tried every way to breed discontent by the circulation of the most amaz- ing tissue of lies about every war activity They have even tried to besmirch the good names of men and women connected with the Red Cross and are now trying to discredit the work of that organization. Nor have they withheld their hands from violent outrages through explosion of ammunition factories and other diabolical ac- tions, such as the Baltimore and Halifax disas- ters.
 Therefore there is no alternative left but to bring under surveillance every person whose words and actions lead to a reasonable suspicion of disloyalty if not treason. The country cannot
