Distinction and honor cannot be
conferred upon any member of a
legislative body. The votes of the
people but confers an opportunity
for them to attain respect. Honor
is achieved only through just and
upright actions, through patriotic
service for the common good. There
is no glory in belonging to the Al
aska legislature unless the mem
ber does something of value to the
country. The politician and ward

will have his day of brief and sel
fish enjoyment, but In the end, It
were better that a millstone had
been tied to his neck and he had
been cast into the sea.
Alaska is particularly watching
this first legislature. We want to
i now what our members are doing.
So far, a number of them have
sought th* opinions of their con
stituents and have already secured
the gist of a number of requtred
laws which they are ready to Pre
sent to the body for enactment
Qnx? of them has even attended the
Oregon legislature for the purpose
of famtliartsin* himself with not
only the machinery of legislative ac
tion, but lo acquire information and
data whict) will be useful in incor
porating into the laws of this terri
tory.
Then there are the other kind,
who have been giving their atten
tion to landing plums of appoint
ment under the incoming demo
cratic administration, with no
thought of the duties that the peo
ple have elected them to perform.
Verily, such shall have their reward
but the wages of graft Is political
death.
Idle Sons of Idle Rich
Baneful to Society
By Professor NATHANIEL SCHMIDT of Cornell Usivcrdty
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? mm
CKE IDLE SONS OF THE IDLE RICH ARE THE GREATEST
MENACE TO SOCIETY OF THE PRESENT DAY.
The idle sons of the idle rich are not merely nonentities.
They are actually BANEFUL TO SOCIETY. Morally
lax, tin v contaminate others with whom they come into contact.
They PERFORM NO USEFUL SOCIAL FUNCTION, but
live riotously upon their fortune.
Tlx* time is rapidly approaching when there must be a limitation
to the at' nit of land or property that can be owned by one individual.
Property transmitted from father to idle sons does a great deal of
harm to * ??ictv as a whole. Those who inherit great fortunes should
NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO AS THEY PLEASE WITH
THEIR PROPERTY OR MONEY. They should be made to render
an account t > societv as a whole. I
