THE DUTY OF CRITICS

The idea appears have found Judgment in minds that sort of criticism of the administration is justified the general ground that criticism is essential in republic in well in peace,
 Criticism is essential Criticism is a duty. But this fact imposes corresponding duty the critic. He must it that his criticism is sincere, structive. The moment he sets himself up critical Judge Jeffreys bent execution the moment he bases his criticism fixed preconcepons to the official ineptitude of this that the moment he tries to it disguise for partsanship, that moment he fails in his duty to his country. He is a darkener of counsel
 Critics also owe themselves the duty of search ing the grounds for their assumed infallibity Many of them will find matter in their utter for the last few years to counsel moderation and restraint. Take, for instance the critic who a few years ago damning the United States for not invading Mexico and who adduces, part of his attack the government. lack of prepared to undertake anything of the kind at that time Then it was the cry for strong hand in Mexico for annexing that large domain ours, for acting magnificiently mperiastic scale Today this same critic punctures all his claim to nfalbility even reliable judgment by practically declaring that what he then urged would have been unwisey undertaken.
 And the quicked moving developments in the world situation have themselves brought additional for modesty and deliberation in judgment to this particular critic. With with Germany i'm pending should have found ourselves in sad had listened to such hairbrained advise. In the retrospective that Wilson acted right in this and that his detractors could not sec beyond their noses. Again the critics who assumed at the outset of the latest Presidential term that Wilson and his advisers hopelessly weak and on whom a sudden silence imposed by evidences of efficient handling of the draft situation and other preliminary matters can afford tarfy Jericho until their facts grown.
 If these considerations apply to everyone with

an opportunity to make his opinions heard, they ap- ply with double force in places of official responsibility Theirs is particularly strong obi gation to measure their utterances to preserve a strict adherence facts, to avoid loose talk of all kinds It is peculiarly regrettable that a man like Senator Chamberlain should have been betrayed into a contrary course during his New York speech. Much one may regret the appearance of division between him and President Wilson, the text of the Senator's speech leaves no doubt that the Presidential rebuke justified.

 And, take it from us, there's a whole lot in the way an umbrella g held. It's the same secret that con- trols tipping ones hat, which, as everybody knows, somehow is cas- fer done to some other mans wife than it is to his own; it's the same rule of being pleasant and polite and courteous and cautious and obliging and all that.
 The average man would fight you, no matter if you were anything from a minister of the gospel to pugilist, quicker for being told that he doesn't treat his wife right but like he is in most everything else, a man is the queerest of all animals.

THE 3,000-MILE CALUMNY
(ChicagO Heraldl


 Secretary Baker ought in all justice to be spared the annoyance of defending himself against false hoods. Good sportsmanship to enemy, to say noth of loyalty to the chief of the army should at least protect him from the jeers which are based only or distortion Loyal citizens have however. been mised into thoughessly repeating bes whose fantastic basis is surpassed only by the solid malice out of which they started.
 One of the most abominabe of the current sheer. is that which originated with the "3,000-me calumny Secretary Baker is quoted having smugly said tha the war~was 5000 miles away. The conclusion which cynicay interruptions critics insinuate is that degree of aziness and nefficiency Mr Baker ustifi fled with war remote. No just knowing ly this columny without doing violence to truth and fairness. Secretary Baker said nothing upor which wanton conclusion could honorably be based Here is the actual conversations
 Secretary Baker, in reply to queston-It is inefficiency to change ones mind and to get something better than you had previously
 Senator Chamberlan-With the war on us and with these young men called into the vice there was such an emergency that it did not call for the highest type of gun.
 Secretary Baker, respectfully dissent from that view. The on us The war in Europe. We have guns of the highest type that needed no rectification in de- sign than could possibly be used on the high est percentage of allowance for wastage by all the troops that could get to France in a year.
 Senator Wadsworth-You stated that the war was not upon us. It is fact. however is it not that the war was on to sufficient extent to impel the government to send troops to France fast they could get them and in their haste, due to the lack of rifles men went on board transports without having fired rifle?
 Secretary Baker-Senator, there are truths in all the sentences you have uttered but pur- ting them together they do not picture the situation. I said that the war was not on us in the sense that the enemy was not at our doors He was 5000 miles away. We had to send troops to where he was There was an adequate supply of modern weapons for the troops could send

 tive in coming to the school on Fri
 day, three days before the ban againts pupils living in Treadwell was
 to be lifted. All the qeustions were
 answered by the girl In the first
 place, her home standing immediate ly on the line; that she had not started to school on Wednesday,

 was wholly innocent of any defiant attitude in the matter and was very sorry, indeed, that her motive in coming to the school house on Friday to get her books and secure a line on the lessons assigned for
 Monday had been misconstrued. Prof. Greene submitted his atti. tude in the matter by saying that
 and the remaining member favored something else, it was his duty to
 accept the will of the majority and act accordingly. For that reason he had declined to suspend the pupil from school attendance. The
 mayor and the health officer gave l it as their opinions that no punish 1 ment was deserved by the pupil But the dissenting member of the schoo
 board was not convinced but that | her position in the matter was the proper one and thus the matter was left

LENGTHY MEETING OF DOUGLAS CITY FATHERS
 WAS HELD LAST NIGHT

DOUGLAS, Jan. 8.-For the first the city council was held last night when all the members were in their seats. A number of communications were read relative to taxes, some complaining that their property was over-assessed and others asking for more time in which to pay their assessments.
 A communication was read from the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Com pany concerning changing their land the City Dock and making some i'm provements at the latter. The clerk was instructed to invite the man. ager of the ferry company to appear before the next meeting of the council with an explicit statement of what his company desires.
 Claims from P. H. Fox and F. A. J. Gallwas for potatoes frozen on the dock were submitted, the former for $1775 and the latter for $21.75, we're ulSdliOWCu tHC uOCh iuiCo that perishables must be removed within "A hours after being received.
 Bills amounting to $2,67125, of which amount $1,600 was for coal, were passed and ordered paid. The business of the dock during the pre- vious three weeks and since the last meeting amounted to $1,91465. Coal to the amount of 197 tons was re- ported on the dock and money on hand amounted to $7,134.
 During the meeting box of Walkers Progressive Pills-not Pink Pills for Pale People-were distribut ] ed among the members with instruc' !, tions to take one every fifteen min utes for five years. The joke was taken in the spirit intended and the pills, which proved to be very palat able candy, were duly taken.

EDUCATIONAL BARK BUMPS UP AGAINST
 UNCHARTED REEF

DOUGLAS, Jan. 8.--An hour was whiled away last night in the coun- cil chamber in discussion as the re- suit of a difference of opinion as to whether or not high school pupil should be suspended from school for period for the alleged infrac- tiOn of an order. The difference of opinion existed between members of the school board one of whom favored suspension of the pupil, the two others opposing it.
 The circumstances were that, then scarlet fever made it's appearance in Treadwell some weeks ago and after consultation with the medical health officer of Douglas and mem bers of the school board, Mayor Smith issued an order to the effect that Treadwell children attending the Douglas school should not return after the holiday vacation until Monday, January 2.
 The order was generally obeyed, but on Friday, January 4, Miss Gertrude Johnson, high school pu- pill whose home is admitted to stand partly on the Treadwell and partly on the Douglas side of the inter-town boundary, the children of the family attending the Douglas school, ~came to the school house in Douglas during the noon hour for the purpose of getting her books and securing a line on the lessons of her class. She remained there something like half an hour and left before the afternoon session ol school was resumed.
 Contending that Miss Gertrude had violated the order of the mayor and instructions of the school board, Mrs Walker, member of the latter, de manded of Principal Greene when the pupil appeared at school yesterday morning that she be suspended fol week for her action. The other two members of the board, Dr. A R. Sergeant and F. A. J. Gallwas did not favor suspension of the pu pill and the result was that the mat ter was called before the city coun ell.
 Mayor Smith stated positively tha the council would not interfere il matters pertaining to the schoo board, but that the latter was per fectly competent to handle it's owr affairs and settle it's own differ ences.
 Principal Greene of the school, as we'll as all the members of the board and the health officer, was present and he submitted lengthy document which comprised numer
