It was entitled.
There are those who think that
they might be SO friendly with an
editor that there could be no fear
Of unfayorable publicity. This no.
ton should be dismissed, because
no editor can afford TO let his per-
sonal likes or dislikes interfere with
ais conduct OF the newspaper. The
hoodlum who gets into a tangle
with the law is entitled to and
receives Just as much consideration
from the good newspaper as the
big shot whose dignity demands
that he be called mister.

nounced increase in the proportion
of gold won from lodes. Apparently
there was a decrease of $1S0,000 in
the output of placer gold, probably
as a result of the unusually dry
summer, but this decrease was much
more than offset by an increase OF
over $729,000 in the lode produe-
ton. OF the gold won from placers,
nearly four-fifths was recovered by
dredges.
With the exhaustion of the richer
bonanza placers in Alaska the ten
dency has been to exploit lower
grade gravel by mechanical means,
and for many such deposits the
gold dredge has been found to be
the most economical device. In 1888
about so per cent of the placer gold
was recovered by dredges, of which
according to present reports, IS
we're in operation for at least part
of the open season. The Fairbanks
district was much the largest pro-
duser, with Seward Peninsula
second. Other areas in whish gold
dredging was carried on include the
Iditarod, Innoko, Kuskokwim, and
Yentna districts. The premium now
paid for gold has greatly stimulated
interest in dredging projects, and in
staIlations are in contemplation at
various places, but transportation
OF such heavy equipment and its
erection in remote areas are time
consuming, and it may be some time
before most of these projects come
into production.

CRYING OUT LOUD
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
Many years ago, famous news
paper editor told his staff, There
are no sacred COWS in this office.
By this emphatic means he let his
staff know that the truth might be
printed about anyone, that no re-
porter or no sub-editor need pull
his punches to save the feeling OF
super-sensitive advertiser or a
social intimate of the big boss.
In spite of the many accusations
constantly hurled against it, a big
percentage of modern day news
papers are constituted much on the
same principle. Even in Ketchikan
we strive to be that way. We feel
that the Chronicle exists first of all
for the public at large, for the
community, As such, the Chronicle
IS duty bound to print all the news
that is fit to print.
The community already knows
much of the struggle that this
newspaper had with some of the

WAGES AND INCOME UP

Secretary of Labor Perkins pre-
diets that in 1884 wages and in
comes will increase, and better
times will be with us. Every Ameri-
can hopes chat her prediction comes
true. Il is significant that she placed
the emphasis on wages and incomes.
1t should be realized by now that
there will be no permanent recoY-
cry in this nation until the purchas-
ing power of the masses is increased.
II does no good to distribute re-
lief at the top OF the economic
structure, and hope that the benefit
will seep down to the great mass
of purchases. The process must be
reversed. The Roosevelt administra-
