FOOLING THEMSELVES
Hide-bound party papers through
out the territory have been slob
bering great slobs of joy over the
assumed visit of President Harding
and Secretary Fall to Alaska thip
Summer, and peddling premature
predictions of great benefits to
result to the territory by reason of
this visit. Now the news falls on
their heads with a sad, sickening
[ thud, that the notables are not
coming and there is weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth over
the mournful truth.
We wonder if any of these fawn
ing phariseical publications ever
believed for a minute that there was
any chance the President and Sec
retary had any intention of com
ing here. Or was their self-con
gratulatory buncombe just a con
certed effort to carry out the policy
of the present administration of
peddling hot air?
And Secretary Fall is not going
to see Alaska from the hurricane
deck of a cayuse after all! The ten
thousand miles of trail that he
might travel without covering the
Territory shall not ring to the beat
of his horse’s foot-fall. Ten billion
mosquitoes who had been dirilict
in sharpening their bills because
they thought they were to have
easy pickings, must now work
overtime with their whetstones
and prepare to tackle the tough
old sourdoughs as usual.
“IT S LOTS OF FUN ’
In Vol. 1, No. 3 of the Sitka Tri
bune Editor Percy G. Charles intro
duces, under the above heading, an
interesting sidelight into the intra
caoies of publishing a country pa
per. We congratulate Brother
Charles on having Henry Phillips,
“Buddy” and Marjorie as helpers.
The Hyder Miner staff was up
against the same proposition when
this paper was founded, but there j
was not, nor has been, any “Buddy”
nor Marjorie, nor expert printer to
help. With the exception of a
“Devil” who comes for an hour four
times a week, the Miner has been
a single-handed industry. But we
started to publish the Tribune’s
little editorial. Here it is,
“As our force becomes more ex
pert, the rough places gradually
will be ironed out of The Sitka Tri
bune. In the mechanical depart
ment, save Henry Phillips, who has
been kept jumping sidewise on job
work and make-up, we are all am-:
ateurs.
“Buddy,” Marjorie and Pa are all
learning to “set type” and it is as
good .as a circus to see them try
and nj^Jig tfte "little n>(en"-that is
type—as Henry calls them, behave.
They tijmbje about in every direc
tion, saye ttje place in which Jhey
belong, tye are beginning to know
a p from a 1} or q qf d and |to read
opr “sticks.”
It was a red letter day when Pa
dumped his first stick withopt pie
jng it. Buddy and Marjorie are look
jng forward to the day when they
pan dprnp theirs,
However, with all the difficulties
it’s lots of fqn getting out the pa- j
per and being crowded with job
work at the same time The people'
of Sitka have been more than kind j
and generous in “waiting for their
work,” and overlooking mistakes.!
| We promise to improve as we goi
I along.”
