JUNE
I
The poets have done well by
June. The subject supplies in- j
splrat'on enough for any
rhymester to do his best.
If June is ordinarily well be
ha.ee! it deserves all that the
greet and little poets have
sung about it. Oc a-uonally the
mor.'h shows a-rebel! ous spir
it ‘ but o rarely Is th! true that
the xcepticns mne i-e taken
io v the po i- :le of
l-1 diii-ss and praise for
Nat ire perfects her elf in the
sixth month of the year. Per
haps ome persons will hold
if t nature’s perfection comes
at the harvest season which,
falls well forward into the
hazy days. There is, however,
a harvest of flowers as well as
of fruit and grains, and the
abundance of blossoms comes
in June along with brides, girl
graduates and other things
pleasant to look upon.
-—-o—
SETTLE UP *
This is the second day of
June. Last month’s bills are
due and payable —and you
may be sure that the merchant
with whom you do business
needs the money you owe him
to settli his own obligations.
Pemember that while he is
waiting for you and others to
come in and square accounts
with h-m, he is not unfre
quentiy compelled to borrow
money at interest to meet his
bills. Thus, in effect, he is
forced to pay interest on mon
ey that you owe him by reason
of your failure to pay prompt
ly. Don’t put it “off for a day
or two;” go in and pay him
today.
Obligations o'f this kind
should never be overlooked
and should be discharged as
speedily as possible. When
the merchant carries you on
his books he is doing you a
favor and you should be willing
to do him the Tetnrn favor of
ch aring your account prompt
ly when it is due. If every one
met their bills on time there
would be more money in cir
culation and business condit
ions would be healthier.
If you want to promote the
prosperity of your town, you
can find no better way of do
ing it than by paying up on the
first and fifteenth of every
month.

RETURN OF CARPET
RA RULE THREATENS
"'he announced intention of
o ident Coolidge to go out
'’c of the Territory to fill
Alaska appointments, in the
event that Congress rejects
the present nominations, is a
fitting rebuke to those self
(eeking elements in our body
oolitic who every four years
cast the stigma of shame upon
Alaska by conducting a loud
voiced campaign of villifica
tion and defamation directed
".gainst the nominees for fed
oral offices. On practically ev
ery occasion since the govern
ment adopted the policy of
appointing Alaskans .to the
major offices, the selection
has been attended by as nause
ating a display of contumaci
ous muck raking and slander
ous mud slinging, as ever dis
graced a decent people. It mat
ters not who the nominees may
be, the result is the same. I’he
announcement of their select
ion is the signal for scurrilous
attacks by opposing political
factions, who all too frequent
ly descend to the uttermost
depths of depravity in their ef
forts to besmirch and discredit.
Fortunately for those who are
made the victims of these ini
quitous attacks, time and in
vestigation usually discloses
that the charges made are
either dastardly misrepresent;
ations of fact or bare faced
falsehoods impossible of utter
ance except by such as are
utterly lost to truth and hon
esty. This fact, however, does
not undo the damage done to
those whose characters are un
warrantedly traduced or re
duce in the least degree the re
currence of such attSclis. In
fact they seem to grow stead- \
ily worse as time goes on; to!
the detriment of the territory
and the discredit of its people.
It is high time that something !
be done to relieve so. dejdor-1
able a situation or we are li
able to soon witness the day
when the federal government
will become so disgusted with 1
the recurrent avalanches of
slander over Alaskan appoint
ments that Alaskans will be no
longer considered as candi
dates for the rhajor federal
offices.
The fact that two presidents
have now’ .openly deplored the
inability of Alaskans to agree
on local candidates and threat
ened to make appointments
outside of the Territory, dis
closes all to plainly that Wash
ington is growing tired of list
ening to the - reprehensible
rowing and scandal mongering
over appointments -and may
either .demand a Cessation in
the interests of common de
cency to spare official ears and
stomachs by selecting outsid
ers for office.
