THAT ORDINANCE AGAIN.

The city ordinance having for it's object the keeping of dogs off the streets, failed to pass at the last meeting of the council through the ac- ton of Councilman Mahoney.
 Of course it is Mr. Mahoneys privilege and likewise his right to object to anything brought up before the council; and it has been noticed that he avails himself of that privilege with per sistency Nevertheless, we candidly confess that we admire the councilman for his spunk to say something on any and all occasions, yet there should be limit In this case-in our opinion at least he over-reached the limit.
 The fact cannot be denied that at least nine ty percent of the residents of our town are pos itiyely against dogs running at large. Then why a man should be so selfish because it is his priv ilege to obiect-or that he owns a couple of dogs as to take advantage of that privilege to de- pfive the ninety percent of an undeniable right to ahate nuisance is more than we ever imagin- ed man would do. Councilman Mahoney ehonid know that a competent court will void an ordin- ance licensing dogs.
 Let IS see: What is a dog license fa aGy how2 It cannot be to protect those who have no dogs from annoyances. It cannot be to protect the licensed dog from being killed when caught by an irate person who is made to suffer from the abuse of a doe. The license lives 10 pro- tection to either an annoyed pc o- the dog that is annoying Then what is license for? It is a mere revenue to the town and as such is valid just so long as the majority of the peoples are wiling to stand to be annoyed and no longer. From the moment the majority say stop it be- comes null and void, and competent court will declare it so In other words. the council has no power to infict any hardship on the citizens unless it be for the benefit of all; like taxes A license is privilege and the council cannot leg ally sell to few the privilege of annoying the many; which the licensing of does amounts to.
 Meanwhile, we hope that at the next meet ing the council will pass the ordinance in ques- ton; Councilman Mahoney's objection to the con- trary notwithstanding.

LET US LINE UP OUR FORCES.

A nationwide drive to secure more members for the American Red Cross association IS planned to start Monday, December lI, and to continue until Christmas It goes without say inc that Ketchikan will not lag. On the con- trary we shall lead as usual.
 The good people of Ketchikan-they are all good except the editor-have been exceptionally generous in every petriotic move thus far, but while we all worked, most of the burden was carried by comparatively few, who must feel that others should carry the heavy load III the coming drive This brings to our mind re- ports from various parts of the territory to the effect that school children are organizing what they call Junior Red Cross" association; the members of which are students attending school The success met by that new organization IS sad to be remarkable We see no reason why It wouldn't work here The high school students could canvas the entire town for membership to the National organization; thus giving the women time for knitting However we have all the confidence in the world that successful drive will be made here. Let us line up our forces

ONLY ONE REGRETTABLE POINT.

It has been reported to the members of the Bachelor Club that few had taken exception to the burial of the Kaiser in efigy at recent gath ering of Americans. In our opinion the only re- qrettable part of the incident is that the burial was not real instead of the make-believe sort.
 The individual in question hag been out. lawed by at least two-th;,is of the world; and the other third havc not followed suit because they fear him, They are under his domination. They are Ut masters of themselves. Of the numhc- included in the two-thirds, it is safe to se that not one would miss getting the kaisers goat if he could and such would be appreciated by the entire world, including his supporters. The boys performed the ceremony piously, which is a good deal more than would be recorded if the same boys could catch him in person,
 Concusively, the federal authorities have a job on their hands. which is to intern those who took Offense. Because hasn't the Attorney General declared all those who sympathize with the Kaiser. were enemies of America? Accord ingly anyone excepting to the boys action must come under that definition.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
 LIFT OUT YOUR CCRNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or caIIuses off with fingers
 no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without particle of pain or soreness.
 This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by Cin- cinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trif1e, but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them with out even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just think! No pain at all; no sore- ness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freezone have him order it for you.

Fall of Lens Predicted.

London. April 14.-Sir Douglas Haig is trying to out-Hindenburg Hinden- burg and there is every indication that he is succeeding.
 Discarding for the moment the steam roller" and "steam-saw" tac- tics, the British commander enlisted liin;enburg's own favorite tool, the "nut-cracker" last night. Tonight, toward the end of the sixth day of the wars greatest battle, this famous mil itary instrument had worked wonders. It's arms had been flung, in sudden furious swing, around the city of Lens, the pride of Frances mining industry. And throughout the last "A hours, the clutch was irresistible frightened. Real izing, undoubtedly that for the city there is no escape from the unwelcome embrace though more than welcome to it's French inhabitants, the Germans made ready to level it to the ground. The Canadians who comprise the con- tracting power of the "nut-cracker' will enter a burning, probably com> pletely ruined city.

CIVIL WAR MAY
 ENVELOPE RUSS.
Outbreak Is Expected at Any Time Ac. cording to Reports From Pet rograd- Situation Now
 Very Grave.

Petrograd, April 19--Cival war stalks about in the Muscovite realm in the guise of patriotism. At any moment the long smoudering sparks of dis content may be famed into flames that may engulf the whole country, burning it from within while a foreign foe hammers down the gates and rushes in to reap the harvest of in- ternal upreaveal.
 So grave is the situation today, con- stantly widening is the cleavage be- tween the provisional government and the workers and soldiers delegates that those who are no longer chided as pessimists and traitors who as sert that the March revolution was only the beginning of endless troubles.
 Newspapers are permitted to voice this fear freely.
 The provisional government is con- batting constantly the growing dis trust and antagonism of the work mems and soldiers delegates. While both bodies are continually appealing to the country for unity they are en- gagged in uncading quarrels for au- thority
 Meanwhile, the workers throughout the country, encouraged by the agita- tion of their leaders, are making ad- ditional demands. These are some of the things which the workers claim they are entitled to:
 A four hour working day.
 Seven hundred per cent raise of wages.
 A full months holiday.
 Two months extra wages at Easter and Christmas.
 Virtual equal share in the profits.
 From thickly populated towns such as Kiev movements are on foot for new massacres of Jews.
