ENCOMIUM
TO THE PIONEERS
The Pioneers are without equal
in telling the story of Alaska’s
growth and development because
the building of these things are a
part of their actual life experien
ces. They speak of what they
know.
United together in a common
fellowship of rich experience, the
Pioneers are looked to. through
out Alaska.for the benefit of their
judgment and experience acquir
ed by long years of service to the
Territory, The Pioneere’ judg
ment is not warped by undue
pride of self, neither is it rooted
in the dead issues of the past or
colored by prejudice. They do
not believe that the wheels of
progress should be stopped by
the dead hand of unthinking tra
dition. Change is not necessarily
progress but ability and willing
ness to grow* are essential to it.
The Pioneers hold fast to the best
of the past, contemplating the
future with an open mind, seek
ing what is to come with toler
ance and understanding.
One of the many qualities that
makes the Pioneers of Alaska
great is their unbounded enthus
iasm. No organization can tran
scend a lack of enthusiasm in its
membership, for there is no sub
stitute for enthusiasm—neither is
there a substitute for wisdom.
When we reflect upon the count
less blessings that are ours today,
when we consider the benefits
that have come to us largely thru
the efforts of Alaska's Pioneer
men and women whose generos
ity, supreme confidence in the
future, and abiding faith in the
land of their choice was the guid
ing principle of their lives, we
should indeed acknowledge our
debt of gratitude.
One of the ways of doing so is
to participate in and assist in mak
ing the PIONEER ROOF GAR
DEN to be held next Saturday
night one of the happiest festi
vals of the winter season. Music,
dancing, games, and a short pro
gram have been arranged for
your enjoyment. Let’s all be
there and give the old boys and
gals a great big hand.

as much before he was told about
it officially.
According to a newspaper head
ing, the peace parley in Brussels
scores Japan and waits on the
United States for pressure. The
scoring does not seem to have
changed Japan’s course of action
greatly, whatever effect it may
have had on her feelings. As for
exerting pressure, it is strange
how this country is relied upon
by Europe to do the dirty work,
when there is dirty work to be
done. It seems odd that power
should be expected from a coun
try that is unable to collect its
overdue debts. That there ex
ists in the United States a sym
pathy for China seems probable,
but when one views the acres of
soldiers' graves at Arlington, to
say nothing of the liberal sowing
of mounds in every other part of
the country, there arises a feeling
that perhaps we are justified in
furnishing a liberal supply of ad
vice about affairs in the Orient
and letting it go at that. The
United States turned back a wave
that swept Kaiser Wilhelm into
exile. Perhaps it is someone else's
turn next. In return for Wilhelm,
whose doings did not concern us
much anyhow, we got Hitler, the
Duce, and a Red Russia not a
verse to over-throwing all exist
ing governments but its own.
Somehow there persists the feel
ing that so far as messing with
the World War is concerned, Un
cle Sam at the end was left hold
ing the sack. The situation in
the Far East may embody anoth
er sack which Europe would be
quite willing to turn over to the
U.S.A. at the wind-up.
A woman is dead in the vicinity
of New York City, after fourteen
years of service as boss of sixteen
servants on a large estate. She
chose to pass as a man and death
alone revealed the truth as to her
sex. When things go smoothly
about the house, there is always
somii secret connected with the
even flow of domestic affairs. Al
though the secret rarely comes
out due to a mere removal of gar
ments, the facts generally are the
same. A woman is the cause.
Seventeen persons are sent to
prison in Italy for plotting again
st Mr. Mussolini, and the ax falls
in Russia for a similar reason
with such regularity that the
event is scarcely noticed. There
are many who think that Mr.
Hoover wrecked the country. Not
a few look on Mr. Roosevelt as
something of a menace. Yet Mr.
Roosevelt preserves the level ten
or of his way without fear of con
spiracy against his person, and
Mr. Hoover went quietly out of
office in the same security. Par
tisans may pass hard words, but
opposition, however directed,
seems to prefer a sane and law
ful means of expression, and the
United States continues to be a
safe place in which to live.
