Yes, dear reader, the average editor lives a nice quiet life amidst peace and plenty. Has it ever occurred to you that the more he labors to uplift his community, the more are his motives questioned? That if he takes a hand in local politics, he is accused of being crook ed? That if he does not, he is accused of being a coward? That if he advocates public improvements, he is condemn ed and his motives under sus- picion? That if he stands for law and order, he is charged with trucking to the preach CTS? That if he takes a stand for prohibition, he is denounc- ed as a fanatic? That if he ad- vocates light wines and beer, he is branded as a bad citizen LOT Q wine bibber? That if he roasts the mail-order house, he is told to mind his own busi- ness, that the people have a right to buy where they
 please? That if he prints mail order advertisements, the mer- chants land on him with both feet? That if he tries to dis cuss fairly the merits of pub- lie utility corporations, he is

On far flung battle fields they lie and although we of Amer ica alone will on that day cheer for those who fought but fell rot, there will be tears shed for our dead in many lands and under many flags.

The projected visit to Hyder of a party of Ketchikan busl- ness men may be looked for ward to with pleasurable an- ticipations by local business in- tere~+' as it will undoubtedly result in wide benefits to all concerned through the pro- motion of a better understand ing of the mutuality of inter- est possessed by the business clements of both towns.
 Every present indication points to an increasing com mercial traffic between the two communities as time goes on.
 Regardless of how much Fly der may deal with other cent ers. Ketchikan will undoub1- edly continue to be the source of quick supply for his com rnunity for years to come. Thus every incbrease in To- in local development and pop l'lation will rebound to the benefit of Ketchikan's com r1rce and increase that towns prosperity.
 As a result of this condition the interests of the two com munities are to a great extent identical; hence a complete understanding between their various business elements is rnuch to be desired.
 There can be no more eff cacious means of bringing about this beneficial condition. than by 8 personal visit by Ketch!kan's business leaders, most of whom, although doubtless much interested in Hyder, know at present very i'ttle about the town and even less of the great mineral re- sources which insure it's pres ent and future prosperity.

 Soon afterward the church choir broke into a beautiful chant. "Just listen to that" exclaimed the wife, "ain't that beautiful?"
