COMMENTS AFTER THE
conventions
William Allen White in the
Review ol Reviews.
The war has dazed the world.
Morally and spiritually we are
shellshocUed. We are earnest,
enough, patriotic enough, intell
igent enough; our emotions are
furious but shallow, our impul
ses are honest but weak, and as
a people — if our parties reflect
our mood — we are waiting lor
something.
People may have instincts,
like animals, to know the com'
irgsto'ms. For we are like a
herd wit.li some deep presence
of trouble — sniffing, bellowing
m-io. — , listless, at what, for
what, no one knows.
ooo , c$oo ooo ooo
ooo ooo and the poor
fish who really thought the war j
was to usher in a new era where I
in the relations of men would'
move somewhat closer to just
ice, are permitted to go out and
count the stars or vote for some
pink party for pale people
which piomises the perpetual
sunrise ”

Extract from SENATOR HAR
DING’S Speech of Acceptance.
“Alaska, alone, is rich in re
sources beyond all imagination
and needs only closer linking
through the lines of transport
ation, and a government policy
that both safeguards and en
courages development, to speed
it to a foremost position as a
comm on weal tii, rugged in citizen
ship and rich in materialized
resources.”

hides bought during the war.
THE ALASKA PRESS
( The Pathfinder )
Alaska* newspapers are far
j ihove the avernge in the States,
towns in the Territory support
ing daily papers which would
not be large enough to support
l a weekly paper in the States.
Alaskans are great readers and
practically every paper takes
the pony cable service to keep
their readers posted on Outside
doings. The editors of these
papers are nearly all old-time
Alaskans, familiar with condit
ions in the Territory, and each
paper covers a field peculiarly
its own.
There are twenty papers pub
lished in Alaska: Nine dailies
eight weeklies, three monthly.
RODMAN AN ALASKAN
Admiral Hugh Rodman can
claim the elements of an Alas -
kan sourdough. J* He spent
six years in charge of naval af
fairs at Sitka, and is thoroughly
familiar with Alaska wateis.
Your personal business interests would be bettered by a
bank connection. We believe that this bank can serve you
ad va n tageously.”
