EDITORIAL PAGE
The Alaska Senat? did not soern
to rocoguUe the virtues of the Skag
way mcmbtr. Ho was glveu a
chairmanship on the Engrossment
and Enrollment committer, while
all tlio remaining Senators socured
two chairmanships each.
Some people are asking what
relegate Wickersham is doing In
Juneau, and from the question
they convoy the implication that he
:s there for the purpose of "run
ning" the legislature. On the other
1 and there are just as many ask
ing what the Southeastern superin
tendent of the Alaska Packers Asso
ciation is doing in Juneau, and what
are the heads of the fish trust do
ing there; What are the oppo
nents of the fish trap and the eight
hour law doing there?
If th? presence of Mr. Wickershat
will give moral encouragement to
the legislators to stick by the prom
ises of their platforms, then It Is
?veil that he is there, it would be
well if hundreds of others, just
like him, go there at once. The
laboring men, the unions, the in
dividual lishe'-man and all who
work, should have their representa
tives toere to demand that our sen
ators and representatives do what
we elected them to do. The believ
ers In womtn's suffrage needs have
their representativse there to look
nfter their interests, because those
Interests are endangered.
Here is something from the Fair
banks News Miner that patrons of '
the Skagway movies should read
and theu remember and then ap
ply.:
If you bave no personal reason
for failing to do so, you might as
well cut out that habit of talking
at the "Movies" while the pictures
are being shown ? reading the tit
les of the scenes and telling what
I* coming next. It Is a safe bet
that probably almost everyone who
pays to see one of those shows is
able to road, and prefer to read
the titles for themsleves. Your
reading them Aloud, while confirm
ing the other people's understand
ing of the words on the screen,
makes no hit with them ? in fact,
If you could hear what they say
about you afterward, it would shock
you. To date we hare not heard
a single favorable comment from
anyone for the man or woman who
insists upon reading aloud the tit
les of the films and scenes shown
at the picture shows, while not a
day goes by but that somebody says
words regarding those willing read
ers which we would not care to
print..
Better cut that habit out ? it mak
you unpopular, and gets you noth
ing worth having.
Easter, probably the most import
ant of the movable feasts, will come
earlier than usual this year, falling
- n Sunday March 23. This is just
one day after the earliest date that
tue holiday could fall on, and that
early date has not been celebrated
since 1818. Sixty-seven years ago
and fifty-six years ago Easter was
celebrated on the same date it will
be this year. The date will not be
earlier until 2000. As is generally
known, Easier Day, on which the
rest of ttn movable feasts depend,
is always the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day of the calendar
moon which (four-teenth day) falls
(n, or next after March 21 accord
ing to the rules laid down for the
construction of the calendar, so that
if hte fourteenth day happens on
Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday
after. This coincidence cannot oc
icur more than once in a century,
and It Is ouly then the Feast of the
Ascension can occur in April, and
nen only on April 30. Easter will
no* come so early in the year again
Jn* 1940, when it will occur March
24. In 1915 it arrives March 25,
? nd will occur on March 26 in 1967
and 1989.

AYBE you don't think I work. Even- man must work if
he is worth a million, if he is worth a hundred millions or
if he is dependent on his weekly salary. WE OUGHT
ALL TO TAKE OUR PLACES IN THE GREAT OR
GANIZATION AND WORK OF THE WORLD.
Great wealth doesn't mean everything ? in fact, VERY LIT
TLE in some cases-? for the full value of it is not gained. Take the
sons of some rich men. Their money is squandered in drinking and
otherwise.
SOMETIMES A POOR MAN IS FAR AND AWAY BETTER OFF
THAN A RICH MAN. I WATCH MY MEN. I KNOW THE LIVES OF
MANY. THAT DOESN'T MEAN ONLY THE MEN WHO ARE CLOSE
ABOUT ME. BUT THE MEN IN MY PLANT. SOME WITH ONLY A
MODERATE SALARY ARE FAR HAPPIER THAN MEN TO WHOM
THE WORTH OF A BANK MEANS NO MORE THAN A BOX OF
CIGARS IN VALUE TO THE ORDINARY PERSON.
Because a man has money that DOES NOT MAKE HIM ANY
BETTER. Perhaps it would be better if all men were equal in
wealth. Still if that Utopian condition were brought about there
would be some in the world that would corral the dollars of the
others and we would come back to the conditions of the present day.
But let me tell you something right here. I have no rich men
working for me. I don't want them. When a man takes a position
and is rich enongh not to be dependent on the salary which comes
from that position he has reached a stage where he is NOT WORTH
A PINCn OF. SAL^ Now, this is generally speaking. Of course
then? are exceptions to aiKjule#.
