1'J.K'lINK.\r KEM.VKKS ON THE
TOW.N K-\(X*KER
Tne "chronic growler" or "per
petual knocker" is not very numer
ous but manages to make up for his
lack oX ziumbers by working over
tiia-. Early and late he "knocks"
the town which affords him a liv
ing and tolerates hig presence. He
"knocks" it to strangers and to his
neighbors, yet he continues to re
main when by Tights he ought to
justify his opinion of the town by
pullinp up stakes and moving to
some other place. Jle has not one
kiud w ork for anybody. Every citi
zen is a grafter or a hvprocrite, or
is involved in some frightful scan
dal, is dishonest and will not pay
his debts or is just on the verge
of failure, according to the "knock
er." ' | ,
The "knocker" knows all the gos
sip and enlarges upon it and twists
it around to suit his own purpose.
The "knocker" necessarily has no
retard for thfc truta and. Ik IB dan:
gerous to converse witjx Jiim, Ho
Will go away and charge youj frith
utterances you never made. He,
will inflame one friend against an
other ,by running back and forth
wit> things that neither ever said,
fpr the regulation t"Jmocker" is al
ways a disturber.
The "knocker" never stands very
high, at home but unfortunately the
visit'rig stranger never remains long
enough to "get onto" him and do
Carts with th« idea that town is on
the hog and is populated with
boobs crooks and rubes.
MR. FORD'S PATRIOTISM AGAIN
Ii Henry Ford liad planned to
hold up. to ridicule and shame those
munitions makers who offered | to
•five government order precedence
(.for profit) he could not have done
it more effectually than fry. his of
'er of his own plant without pro
fit. Recently the News compared
the patriotism displayed, to the dis
favor of the munitions men, j who
have led the abuse of Mr. Ford's
pacifist activities, in reply a friend
hands in a clipping from the Wash
ington Post: j
"Whose fault is it that the Un
ited States has no real army?
\Vi>ose tfault is it that congress, in
tho hour of national need cannot
increase the srtength of the navy, id
matter how much ^money is appro
priated or expended? The blame
must be fixed squarely uj>on the
pacificsts, who for many years have
been advocating-(unpreparedness. It
mua* be fixed upon those ttho in
sisted that there was no need for
spending money on the army and na
vy gince no foreign, uation would ever
attach this country.'' Accompany
ing flio clipping is the comment:
"T'je turning over of great plants
to the government is commendable,
but without trained defenders this i
uext to^useless."
Clipping and comment overlook
some points. Much of the objection
to naval expansion hag been en
gendered by the wide spread jand
well founded feeling that the gov
ernment wag always mulcted out of
enormous sums (when undertaking
construction programs. The objec
tion wag not so much to prepared
ness as to the profits involved. The
same thing has been encountered in
the buying of army equipment,
tncugh perhaps to a less extent. |
Cne of the first elements of pa
triotism is the wllingness to make
sacrifices. ;Mr. Ford's willingness
to sacrifice profits has not yet been
matched by his critics.)
I' the pacifists are to blame for
t*i<a small army, why has it not been
possible to recruit the army to full
strength authorized iu recent years?
Partly because such a large propor
tion j of the applicants for enlist
ment failed to pass the physical ex
amination. Who is responsible for
that condition? To a large ex
tent large manufacturers who are
the leading props pf our industrial
system. ;To a large extent Mr. Ford
has gone counter to their ideas of
things. J An employer can. show no
higher patriotism than to try to de
velop a (higher type of citizen
among his employes. Mr. Ford is
one the country's real patriots
on basis.
PATROL IX FROM
IRE FAR NORTH
Dawson, March 8—Tti^ R. X., W.
M. P. patrol arrived this morning
from the annual winter trip to Fort
McPherson ;and return. Every man
came back in the Dink of condition.
The party comprises Corporal Hutcb
inson, in charge; | Constables Pratt,

The oarty left Dawson January

The Hudson's Bay company's patrol,
which started from Edmonton No
vember 28, and traversed the length,
of the Mackenzie in relays, with
different men and dog teams from
post to post, delivered the mail at
McPherson three days after the
Dawson patrol arrived .there. The
Dawson mail, howerver, was fresher
than th° Edmonton mail by months.

KEXXECOIT COPPER
SETS A BIO llEOOiib
Boston, March 3—From all its
mines fh.e Keungicott Copper Corpor
ation turned out 11,878,000 pounds
o* copper in,January which, was a
slight increase over the previous
month. Both the Alaskan mines
and the Braden contributed to the
(fain, although the major part of
the increase was from the former.
Now that the Kenuecott owns all
but a very few shares of the Bra
don company, the latter to all in
tents and purpcoges is an integral
pari of the Kennecott and places
this company in fifth position,
among the big producers, being ex
ceeded by the Anaconda, the Phelps
Dodge, the Utah Copper^and the
Inspiration.
i Kennecott's normal output from
the Eonanza and Beaton mines in
'Alaska at the present time may be
regarded as about 7,000,000 pounds
monthly although for six consecu
tive months last year this output
exceeded 10,000,000 pounds. Of this
total the Beatson properties furn
ish aobut 1,000,000 pounds, but by
the middle of this year, with the
completion of the expansion plans,
it should : bo contributing at least
3,000,00fr pounds a month.

FEEL LIKE
GIVING UP?
Many Alaska People On tlie Veirge
of Collapse.
A bad back inaks you miserable
all tha time—
Lame every morning; sore all
day.
I* hurts to stoop— it hurts to
straighten.
What with headache, dizzy spells,
urinary weakness.
No wonder people are discour
aged.
Who do not know the kidneys
may be the cause of it all.
Give the weakened kidneys need
ful help.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
I None endorsed like Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Mrs. Louis T. Jarvis, 922 E. St.,
Sacramento, Cal., says: "Sharp
p<iins darted through my loins and
between my shoulders. My back
was weak and lame and it was an
awful task fcr me to sweep or do
any work about the house. I felt
tired and exhausted. Headaches
Bind dizzy spells added to my dis
tress and the action of my kidneys
annoyed me day and night. The
kidney secretions wero unnatural.
Doan's Kidney Pills strengthened
my kidneys and relieved the aches
and pains."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Jarvis had. Foater
