There are mighty few new Ideas
born each year. Most of the
things we are thinking today are
but echoes of the thoughts of our
ancestors when mankind was young
That present day gag about wishing
to have a ne<-k as long as a giraffe
so that pie would taste good all the
way down, is but a retelling of a
story by Horace, the Latin poet,
who lived before the tinie of Christ,
only he applied It to a swan, be
cause he didnt know anything
about a giraffe. That is as far
back as we can remember so can't
sa.y where Horace got it from. Half
the Jokes and philosophical ponder
osities that are going the rounds to
day n^e the thoughts of the dim
that have been stolen and re
written to fit present times They
are the lingering marks of a bygone
and forgotten age. This observa
tion simply leads us up to the point
that we should not swell up over
thinking we are wiser than some
one else. The probabilities are
that most or us are monkey* In
comparison with those who lived
before this race of grafters and of
fice holders was ever heard of.
Don't 9w(*r. Swearing does not
lend emphasis to conversation.

WHO Is IT THAT
WANTS TO mx M.ASKA?
The Hon. Geo Baldwin, in his
speech recently made in Kagle hall
at Valde* asks one question of the
people of Alaska that each voter
should well consider for here is
Alaska's greatest menace. He asks:
"Are the people of Alaska going
to acknowledge themselves mentally
bankrupt and advertise to the
world that they are unable to run
their politics and must have non
residents from th?" states to man
age their political affairs?"
To which the Valder Truth an
swers:
"Who has run Alaskan affairs
for the last five years? Answer,
Shacklcford. Hoggatt. Clark, Hies
and others. Now that It looks like
a democratic president, who want*
to run Alaska? Answer: Daly,
Dunn and Jennings, and a lot of
other gimblet -legged politicians of
Seattle who, tired of Alaska when
there was ho office in sight, but
who are now looking northward
again."
