What is a Commissioner?
A Commissioner, my child, is a
person appointed by a Judge to try
little cases and listen to complaints,
to marry people and sit on corpses
when any are found.
What is a Judge?
A Judge is an awful big man.
He appoints Commissioners, tries j
cases that are too heavy for Com
missioners to handle, bosses the
Grand Jury and is Oh, such a great
man.
Papa, I heard there is a man
calied District Attorney.
Now ehild, you hush! Pull that
blind down and lock the doors. If
you must'say “District Attorney,”
whiter. He is the WHOLE CHEESE!
He tells them ALL where to head
in! He owns the show.
THE PREMIER’S RECORD
In its issue of March 17, North
west Mining Truth, of Spokane,
publishes a comprehensive review
of the Premier mine’s operations
and achievements, and comment
ing editorial y says:
We are sure readers everywhere |
will be interested in the front pagej
article of this issue, in which is re-j
corded a mining ro .ance without
e uiiterpart in recent history of the!
West and comparable with the1
stirring tales of the Comstock and
other historic early day camps.
Within three months this great
gold-silver mine, from levels but a
few hundred feet below the surface,
will have distributed no less than
$000,000 in dividends, after spend
ing almost as much more jn tram-'
way and mill equipment and neces
sary development. Surely, few
achievements in western history
surpass it.
j To Spokane, and particularly to
I citizens of ths mining persuasion,
[the most satisfactory feature of the
J entire story will be found in the
i fact that this great coTltributor to
the new wealth of the world was
rediscovered and brought to pro
’ duction by a Spokane man, long
identified with its business life, and
a successful pioneer operator of the
Cceur d’Alenes, Rossland, Slocan,
Republic and praclicaliy every
other Northwest camp discovered
since he first took a hand in the
great game back in 1886. Working
quietly and with unusual sagacity,
R. K. Neill combed the country
from Mexico to Alaska in search of
a prospect that he thought woHld
make a mine. He was willing to
take the initial chances upon hit
qyp jpdgement alone and jn so do
ing tendered a seryiee to the min
ing industry far gfcater than heavy
capital requites when jt tajrts over
developed property op pxapt meas
urements of valye.
It is to such men as Mr, Neill
that the industry of the west must
look for its continued prosperity
and it is lucky for us all that "blue
sky" laws had not gone far enough
to prevent realisation of his dream
to find and bring to production an
other great mine. Had Mr. Neill
sought support in a “blue-sky” state,
or had he solicited the endorsement
of our own Better Business Bureau,
he might have been prevented from
adding millions to the wealth of
the world and would have been
lucky to keep out of jail. As it is,
he brings to Spokane a generous
share of the great wealth the Pre
mier mine has produced and will
doubtless continue io produce. Ht
, has created new money for retail
! merchants and other self-ordained
| censors to fight for, and in so doing
I teaches a lesson that might keep
the mining spirit of the West alive,
if impertinent busybodies would
but givejt a chance.

Vote for James L. Galen i
for
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
in
Republican Primaries
April 25, 1922.
He believes that it is only by encouraging capital to invest in
the north that the resources of the Territory, now lying
dormant, can be made to play their part in making the
people of Alaska prosperous.
He believes that private enterprise in developing our resour
ces should receive fair and even liberal treatment to the
end that Alaska shall be made an asset for the people now
living here, and not conserved entirely for the use of
future generaticns.
He stands for Alaska for Alaskans, and in this regard he
favors all rational measures which will prevent the ex
tinction of the great fishing industry and promote its
growth along safe and sane lines, and thus preserve the
fish as a perpetual source t>f wealth and employment for
the people who live in this Territory.
Alaska needs capital. If Mr. Galen serves the Territory in
Washington, he will invite it to invest in Alaska by attrac
tive legislation and all other fair means.
“Watch this space for further announcement of |
what Mr. Galen's candidacy means to Alaska.”
