 X. - Yep.
 C. - Oh, Well how about the Evans?
 4. - Wayne Blue says she will be here southbound from Kodiak about next Wednesday or Thursday. Evans has not vet arrived at Juneau as fan as anyhaSy knows.

ROOSEVELT COMING BACK?

One of the greatest of the many great ser vices which Colonel Roosevelt has rendered to his country is that he has never rested iron, lifting up his voice in exhortation and warning to the people, Now when all recognize the truth of what he has said during the last four years, the people again incline to need him and heed him. And they say Roosevelt is coming back In our opinion. the contrary appears. The people are comnig back-coming back to his way of thinking. Had the people followed him up. instead of branching off. the war would have been ended long since.

ACTION Is WHAT COUNTS.

There Is hardly ever any after effects to a doctors mistake. His patient may die, in that ease " all help to bury his mistake and that ends it all. 1t Is otherwise with public officials mistakes. Their mistakes are not so easily dis posed of. and will show up now and again to cause unpeaSantness.
 The untinlely death of Mir. and Mrs. Foss' iittle girl is case in point. While her death may not be directly attributable to the city of- fcials Negligence, it cannot be said that they have done all in their power to avoid the sad incident It is true that the present admins tration is not alone to blame for the evident neglect to construct proper sewerage as we'll as providing house of detention to care for the sick. yet former administrations negligence cannot excuse the present administration in neglecting its duty. If our council cannot will not act it would seem advisable that tho citizens call meeting. appoint the proper committee and proceed to act. Something must be done that much is conceded by all. But merely talk about that something" without action can get us mo- where Action is what counts. Inaction counts also. but invariably counts against us.
