PAYING THE PIPER
Billions of dollars have been
paid out to veterans of the
world war in the United Sta
tes and Europe. More bill
ions will be paid until the
process of age removes the
vast army of ex-soldiers now
drawing pensions.
And hardly has the world
staggered from beneath the
blight of the World War
when another war lord steps
to the front to review the
rivers of blood and send bro
ken wrecks of what were
men into the army of veter
ans for which all nations must
provide.
Democracies will be hard
est hit by the Second World
War, now underway to a good
start, for, unlike one of the
Charles, they cannot escape
pension by “allowing the ex
soldiers to beg on the streets
without arrest !’’
In the old days when abso
lute monarchy ruled Europe,
soldiers were as much a chat
tie possession as the horses
they rode. The spoils of war
were parceled out, first to the
nobles with large estates
wrested from the vanquished
iand the bestowal of high
sounding titles. The rank and
file of soldiers who “fought
for glory” got just that—the
glory of having a preference
for a job as servitor to “Me
lud” or tilling his fields for a
tithe of what was produced.
But the Glory thing does
not appeal to the uncultured
senses of the cannon fodder
as it used to do. He is de
manding some of the material
substance emanating from
war.
For the past century or
more this idea has been the
result of many changes in the
personnel of government, but
in Europe it matters little
who sits on the throne, the
divvy is about the same.—Ex.

Eskimo Legend
Tells Of Samson
Of The Northland
(Continued From Page One)
This exasperated the people
and they again determined to
kill him. They attacked him
in force, in many kayaks. He
was warned by his God of
their coming and taking off
his parka he smeared his
body with salmon roe, having
first collected a huge pile of
sharp rocks near the seashore.
As the expedition approach
ed he went down to the sea
shore and called to his ene
mies saying: “See the sores
on my body: I am ill and can
not resist you. I am at your
mercy." And all the people
looked with astonishment at
his festering body; they laid
down their spears and before
they realized their danger he
hurled the sharp stones at
them with such force that the
boats were pierced and sunk
and all the invaders were
drowned.
The narrative of his ad
ventures covers many snows.
At one time he was beset by
thousands of his enemies and
defeated them with the bone
of a whale, which he used as
a battle axe. He had frequent
encounters with those who
sought his life and was final
ly killed by the treachery of
his wives, whom he had fore
ed to his igloo from a neigh
boring tribe.
The women bound him
with their hair, which they
had allowed to grow very
long and thick. He was unab
le to get loose and the women
poured boiling whale oil in
to his eyes and ears until he
died.—Valdez Miner.

Every Territorial school
should own and display an A1
aska flag, says the Alaska
School Bulletin. Several of
the schools already have flags
which were purchased by the
pupils and presented to the

idea. Money for the purpose
is raised by entertainments.

to wait until next year be
fore it is given a University
of Alaska extension course in
mining. It was explained that
appropriation was made for a
course in each of the four div
isions, Juneau of course be
ing given the first course.
President Bunnell said that
Cordova would be the next
point at which the course
would be established.
Gust Lundeen, a resident of
Cordova, grew impatient
when he awoke with a jag on
and no policeman to take him
to jail. After thinking it over
he went to the U. S. Commis
sioner and charged himself
with being drunk and asked
that he be given one night in
jail. The commissioner thot
Gust might be biased and en
titled to more time in the
jug. So he gave him a fine of
$10 and two days in the jug.
