Responsibility
Have you lost confidence in
yourself to the extent that you
dare not take a step unless you
are sure that it follows the,
footprints of others or possibly
your own usual methods?
When employees reach a point
where they dare not act upon
their own initiative for fear Of
censure, their activities become
very limited.
Naturally their originality is
stifled, and this is not a good
thing for business, no matter
what kind of business it is.

A Touch
Of Humor
In these days of gloom we
ought to be thankful for a
touch of humor. We have it
in the action of a Demo-
cratic judge who has brought
suit for libel because some
one called him a Republican.
We did not realize it is as
bad as that.
But this action for dam
ages is not without prece'
dent.
Here is a true story:
More than a century ago
in Franklin county, Indiana,
a man, who had been called
"an old Federalist," brought
suit for libel in the courts.
He was represented at the
trial by James Noble, the
first Senator from Indiana
an exceedingly able man. He
set forth in his declaration
that the description of his
client as a "Federalist" was
a vicious and defamatory
libel, because of which his
client had been brought
into public disgrace until
his neighbors refused to
have intercourse with him.
The defendant was repre-
sented by John Test, one Of
the first Congressman from
the State, who set forth as
a defense that it was not
libelous to call a man a
"Federalist."
On the day of the trial
the court room was packed.
All eyes were turned with
Indignation on the de-
fendant and with compass
sion on the plaintiff. The
first witness for the latter
was called to the stand.
do you consider it IL
belous to call a man a Fed
eralist?" Noble asked.
II do," stormed the wit
ness.
(Which would you rather
a man call you-a Federal
ist or a horse thief?"
II would kill him, sir, if
he called me one or the
other"
"What damages do you
think the defendant should
pay for this libel?" asked
Noble.
IA thousand dollars at
least "

Risks in the Husband Market
Married men, like stocks,

groups: Preferred, common and
wild. Those who were born for
matrimony, those who have
successfully achieved the mar

had it thrust upon them by
fate of a woman.
The preferred risk is a

is a curious disposition in
Europe to place upon the
United States the response
bility of leadership in the
protests to Japan. It is a
new wrinkle in the oriental
diplomacy of England hum
bly, to ask US what to do
about Shanghai. There is
every indication that our >di-
plomacy in recent months
has concentrated the resent
ment Of Japan upon us; we
are probably more hated by
the Japanese now than any
other nation on the globe.
Just what the Administra-
ton has in mind is not en-
tirely clear; but the Ameri-
can people can find nothing
in the situation in China re-
motely to Justify a war. 1t
is announced that the sole
purpose in sending troops
and the navy TO China is to
protect American lives and
property.
The sane American knows
that the sane way to pro-
tect American lives in COM
munities where a fight is
threatened or in progress is
to remove the Americans to
a place Of safety. And
there will be no popular de-
mand by the American peo-
pie that we go to war over
an oil we'll. If property is
damaged the owners Of the
property will be properly
compensated.
Should Japan ignore the
ultimatum-what?
Meanwhile Congress will
be expected to keep watch
full eye on the movements
of Secretary Stimson.
The Two Plans
Before Congress
This is a nation Of some
thing more than 120,000,0OO
people. Of these 24,OO0,OOo
are said to be living in
abject poverty-because OF
the lack Of work. This is
more than one-sixth of the
population. And 100000
are living on charity; and
this is a tenth Of the entire
nation.
That really is as startling
as the fall in the price Of
stocks.
The bankers and railroads
required "relief" largely be-
cause of their blunders and,
in the case of the bankers,
largely because of their
greed. These men, women
and children who are job
less are not responsible for
their plight; they are the
victims.
There are two plans before
Congress for the relief of
these victims.
One is the measure spon-
sored by Senator Wagner for
a prosperity loan to furnish
work; and Senator La Fol-
lette has a similar measure
providing for a larger loan.
The other is Senator La
Follette's bill to appropriate
$375,OOO,OO0 for direct re-
lief. Whatever you m "
think about that do not let
anyone tell you it is q
"dole." It is nothing of the
sort.
The Federal Government
is merely called upon to do
it's part to prevent starva-
ton. States, counties and
municipalities have appro-
priated for the purpose and
no human being has COM
planned or denounced it as
a "dole. " These local COM
munity governments in many
instances have exhausted
their resources. Some are
bankrupt. Most are in dis
tress. =
And the La Toilette meas

the case of these communi-
ties, the Federal Govern

A sef-made husband may
take several years to conquer
his bachelor habits and settle
down; but if your love and
your nerves can stand the

come when he will acquire

FULL TERRITORIAL FORM OF
 GOVERNMENT.

Delegate Wickersham contends that the Alaska Organic Act provides for full Territorial form of government He admits that it contains limitations that were not in the Washington Territorial Organic Act, but insists that the reason for that is that there were no game or fisheries questions in 1853 when the Washington Act passed He then asks what is meant by those who want full Territorial form of government for Alaska in conradstinction from the form of government that Alaska has.
 There is lot of difference between the Alaska government and that which President Taft had in mind in 1912 when he asked Congress to provide such government for Alaska request that Presi- dent Wilson repeated The full Territorial form of government that was given the other Territories provided for local self-government through county organizations They provided that the county Qgani- cations should control local taxation and the expenditure of the local tax receipts The local organizations had jurisdiction roads and other local matters. The Territories had authority over all
 Territorial matters including many things that are reserved for the Federal Government in Alaska. Not ony game and fisheries controlled by the Territories the liquor question and other matters were under Territorial direction that in Alaska are reserved for Federal authority. Judge Wickersham has demonstrated that he knew the difference be- tween the Alaska government and full Territorial form of government by bills that he has introduced providing for the extension of the Alaska govern ment-bills that he introduced and permitted to die without even having had committee hearings or them.
 The full Territorial form of government that other Territories had and which Presidents Taft and Wilson had in mind provided for the sort of government that the States have except they did not allow participation of the Territories in the Federal Government The Territories before Alaska had complete self government. They could not vote in National elections, but they had control over their affairs completely as the States have

Sena- tors Norris Blaine Nye Johnson La Toilette and Cutting have refused to support President Hoover for reelection and are for Gov Roosevelt. Late newspapers and magazines from the East indicate that the Republicans very likely to lose from half dozen to dozen more of their membership in the coming election Among those whom it is believed probably slated for defeat are Senators Moses, Bingham Glenn Watson, Oddie Barbour Davis Shoot and Jones.

The Coast Survey.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)


 We wonder if the people of this district realize the great debt of gratitude that they owe to the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Its operations year after year have gradually brought to the charts the accurate information neded by the thousands of boat in this district.
 None will dispute the magnitude of the work. It must be done with great care, that the most surprising thing about it all is that so much work has been well performed in the years that have passed.
 Only this season for example, the Explorer under command of Capt G. c. Jones has made detailed survey in the Duke Island vicinity. The southern coast of the island, result, will undergo con- siderable change the next charts to be issued, thereby giving accurate and valuable information to the trolling fleet to others using those waters Not only that, but the crew of the vessel has spent considerable time endeavoring to determine the exact nature of the magnetic disturbance in that district which defects compasses so greatly as to cause serious accident to those unaware of the magnetic field Information to be given on that subject alone is well worth the survey.
 On the whole, we believe that Ketchikan really does appreciate the work that has been and is being carried on. But it is well to remind ourselves of it's worth occasionally, else we take it too much for granted. That is why it was good of the Chamber of Commerce to pass its resolution com mending the work of the Explorers crew. In that commendation, we believe all those who live in the district will join wholeheartedly.

POLITICAL TIDE RIPS

In the good old days, when torchlight processions, long par ades and noisy demonstrations played an even more important part in the national campaigns than they do now. the longer the demonstration was the better he campaign managers liked it. Many a manager has made his reputa ticn for shrewdness and capability on record breaking ovations.
 Today it is different, as was evidenced by the pleas made from the platform from which Gov Roosevelt spoke in Boston last night. For Is minutes the Boston Democrats made the welkin ring" with a noisy demonstration for the New Yorker who seems cer- tain to be the country's next Chief Executive. The great crowd ignored appeal after appeal for it to sub due. We are on the air now and it's costing us real money urged the Chairman. But the crowd howled on without the slightest sign of abating.
 Finally Gov. Ely waived his for maj introduction of Gov. Roosevelt, and amid the din presented him simply as -sAn indefatigable man, the next President of the United States Franklin Delano RooSe- vsN."

passed by the House on June T. After many days of study, multid- inous amendments, the Senate passed the bill late in June. Then came more days of delay while the managers for the House and Senate wrought worldly over their differences. On July 5, after re- peated efforts, the conferees agreed on all points. The House adopted the revised measure on July 2 and the Senate on the day following.
 President Hoover returned the bill to Congress with his veto which was sustained. And on July l2, both branches passed the sub stltute measure, now known as the Wagner Bill, which was some what reluctantly signed by the President,

 President Hoover, at Madison square Garden, was likewise given a great reception But it was less riotous in it's enthusiasm and more controlled in it's expression than was that for his rival in Boston.
 The President himself ran five minutes overtime, but held the mike until he finished. Gov. Roosevelt wasn't so lucky, due prob ably to the time wasted by the enthusiastic greeting given him. Besides cutting Roosevelt off the air before he fiished his speech. the Is minutes of cheering prob- ably cost some Sl5.00O in real cash.

 He was in Washington at that tune. But when it passed the Sen- ate, as amended, and again when II was revised by a conference committee and was again passed by both branches of Congress, he was far, far away.

afraid of being Scolded.
And that brings up a very
important question. Had she
reason to fear a scolding, or
did she only think she had?

A Dangerous Weapon
Satire is a dangerous weapon
to apply to a woman unless
she's gifted with q tongue that
can serve better than receive.
So from this simple instance
you can see how important it
is that the husband or wife
avoid giving the other reason
to fear telling the truth.
