Constitution Day
September 17 marked the
] 44th anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution of
the United States by the con
stitutional convention in Phil
adelphia after nearly four
months of deliberation.
In recent years Constitution
Day has been widely observed
through suitable exercises by
schools, clubs and patriotic
societies. It is only the truth to
say that the average American
is by no means as familiar
with this great document as he
ought to be. The wisdom and
foresight of its authors have
been amply vindicated
throughout the life of the na
tion.
One of the greatest tributes
ever paid the Constitution was
by the eminent British states
man, Viscount Bryce, who in
his “American Common
wealth,’’ said:
“The Constitution deserves
the veneration with which
Americans have been accus
tomed to regard it. It ranks
above every other written con
stitution for the intrinsic ex
cellence of its scheme, it ad
aption to the circumstances ot
the people, the simplicity,
brevity and precision of its
language, its judicious mixture
of definiteness in principal
with elasticity in details.”
Every citizen should read
the Constitution at least once
a year, and Constitution Daj
is an appropriate time to di
it.

Health Racketeers
Medical quackery, which foi
several years gradually los
ground because of the grow'
ing tendency of newspapers t<
refuse- quack advertising
seems to have found a nev
and potent ally in the radio.
Much advertising which no
self - respecting newspaper
would print, is freely broad
cast over the air, evidently
with some success in attract
ing suckers, because it is be
ing continued in undiminished
volume.
Those who prey upon the
public by fraudulently cashing
in on the universal desire for
health are characterized by
Dr. E. P. Lyon, chairman of
the medical school of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, as
“health racketeers.” He says
of this type of faker:
“His health patter is psuedo
science. His eye is on your
check book. In these days es
pecially he prostitutes the ra
dio to his uses. Quacks and
quackery, fakers and fakery of
all kinds appeal to a bewild
ered public, between jazz and
nasal tenor, with blatant ad
vertisements that no respect
able journal will print. Oh,
Health! what crimes are com
mitted in thy name!”
Even some of what appears
to be legitimate advertising is
very deceptive. The doctoi
lays further:
“Brushing of the teeth is *
lice habit; but no one has yei
iroved that it saves the teeth
and all the flamboyant adver
tising about tooth pastes is rot
tenest tommyrot.”
We often wonder if Bil
Hay does not reel of his chron
ic radio spiel about “film’
with tongue in his cheek.

The Fourth Estate
A subscriber has requestei
oublication of the origin am
• meaning of the term “Fourtl
t Estate” as applied to journal
- ism. Here it is:
> The term “Fourth Estate
, was first applied to the publi
r press by Edmund Burke, th
“Are you getting anything
out of that course in salesman
ship?”
“Not much. I’m afraid I’ll
never be one-tenth as good a
salesman as the man who sold
me the course.”
He: “I can tell by looking
in a girl’s eyes just what she
thinks of me.”
She: “How annoying!”
He: “But darling, don’t you
want to marry a man who is
economical?”
She: “Oh, I suppose so; but
t’s not much fun being en
| gaged to one.”
Medical Specialist: “If any
| .hing comes to worry you, cast
j it aside.”
i “Thanks, doctor. I’ll re
j member that when your bill
comes.”
Padre: “You’ll ruin youi
stomach ,my good man, drink
!ng that stuff.”
Old Soak: “’Sail right, ’sal
] right. It won’t show with mj
I coat on.”
Flapper (gushingly) : “D(
you ever see pictures in tin
fire?”
Cynical Art Critic: “No—bu
f’ve seen lots that ought t<
■ be.”
Algernon: “And how loni
I were you engaged to Clarice?
Bertie: “I don’t know. I for
’ got to look at my watch.”

his lead when, in his “Heroes

From the Hyder Alaska Miner i
September 14, 1921
A message received this week
by the newly elected school
board from Juneau school
authorities stated that school
upplies for Hyder have been i
)rdered and that desks will be
•ent here from the Treadwell
school. A teacher will also be
engaged.
M. R. Jamieson has finished j
an attractive annex to the Ho-1
.el Hyder, which will be used j
•‘or housing a permanent ore!
exhibit. One end of the 20 foot
■oom contains a glass case for
he rarer and more valuable
specimens, while the opposite
ode of the room is occupied
>y racks for other specimens.
The room is beautifully pan
elled with native wood effects
and the ore racks are finished
with white enamel paint so as
0 give the specimens an at
tractive setting.
Evidently deeply chagrined
at the attitude of some local
colks, Editor “Rube” Hull, in
this issue of the Miner deliver
ed himself of the following ed
itorial admonition:
“Don’t Be a Parasite
“Paste this in your hat. If
you are living in Hyder, no
matter what your occupation,
you are dependent entirely up
on the mining business. If you
sit back and let others stand
all the expense of advertising
this district; if you refuse to
part with a little of the money
vou are making directly or in
directly out of the mining bus
iness, you are a parasite and
have no right to look loyal and
progressive citizens in the face.
“From a moral standpoint it
would be perfectly legitimate
for a financial boycott to be
declared against any firm or
individual who adopts the pol
icy. of letting others bear the
brunt of contributing to the
general welfare.”
Homer Ficklin has finished
his logging contract on the
Marmot, having put in 265,
