AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The press of Alaska is appar
ently a unit in applauding the
selection of George A. Parks
as the next governor of Alaska.
Ev«.ry Territorial newspaper
that has come to hand since
Mr. I arks’ nomination by the
president is fulsome in praise
of the new gubernatorial ap
po'ntae. If anyone is disgrunt
led over the appointment, the
disappointment must be confin
ed to that large number of the
pOiiticians of the Territory
who hope without cessation
that the lightning may one day
strike their way. Not even the
refusal of the president to rec
ognize the the choice of the
Alaska voters as registered at
chction held last November
has dampened the enthusiasm
of the papers in handing out
bouquets to Mr. Parks and the
nation’s chief executive. In fact
3uch of the papers as refer to
that incident are unhesitating
in the assertion that the straw
ballot selection is a legislative
joke that should be abolished.
It therefore apears that Mr.
Park ■ is to begin his term of of
fice with at least a large ma
jority of the press and people
squarely behind him. This is
something that has not hap
pened in a long, long time. And
we may well be thankful that
Alaska is not only to have a
governor who is one of her own
people and endorsed and sup
ported by the great body of
her citizens but is also to be
spared a repetition of the dis
graceful controversies which
have so often arisen in connect
ion with the governorship ap
pointment.

With the recent untimely
passing of Andrew Lindeborg
this section loses not only one
of its oldest and most respect
ed citizens but there has also
been erased from the North
land’s page of progress the
name of one of those sturdy
figures who in the bygone
years wrested the land from
the tenacious grip of the wild
erness and made it a home
land for those who came after
them. Mr. Lindeborg was a
real pioneer, a trail blazer; one
of that indomitable breed of*
iw”' the history of whose
achievements form the great
epic of th north. Those of us.
who now follow the trails he
made owe him a debt of grat
itude. It is upon the foundat
ion he laid and along the
paths he blazed through this
i rock-bound fastness that we
seek our own present and fut
jure prosperity. But for the
i courage and willingness of An
drew and his brother, Daniel
Lindeborg, to face the dangers
and privations that are the lot
of those who meet and dare
the wilderness, there would
:in all probability be none of us
here today to enjoy the fruits
'of their toils and privations
in opening the way to this land
of mighty promise.
The home merchant; Who is
|he? He is the chap who gives
jyou credit when you are finan
cially broke, and carries your
account until you are able lo
pay.
He is the chap who gives
you back your money or makes
exchanges when you are not
satisfied with what you have
bought. He is the chap whose
employees live in the home
home town and spend their
money with you and other lo
cal people. He is the chap who
helps support our church and
our fraternal organizations and
bears the biggest cost of our
public charities and benefits.
He talks for the home town
and boosts for it every day in
the year..
He is also the chap who visits
you when you are sick, sends
flowers to your family when
you die and follows your body
out among the trees and tombs
as far as human feet may trav
el with the dead.
He is your home merchant
your neighbor - your friend—
your helper in time of need.
Knowing these things, don’t
you think you ought to trade
with him and be his friend and
helper? Don’t you know that
every dollar you send out of
town for merchandise is sent to
strangers-to men who never
spend a dollar here. You do not
;save much at best when you
; send your money out of town.
' And don’t you realize that the
| growth and prosperity of this
town and community depend
jvery largely upon the success
jand prosperity of the home
merchant? Out of town visit
ors judge the town by the ap
pearance of our stores and the
| degree of enterprise shown by
our merchants. And our home
imerchants cannot succeed un
less home folks give them loy
al support.

Just For Fun
Hot air can take a balloon up
a long ways, but it can’t keep
it there.
According to the Blueberry
Kid, mankind is divided into
two classes, dreamers and do
ers. One, he says, howls for
light wines and the other
plants grape vines.
“Mary, what do you think of
our gas fires,” inquired the
mistress of the new cook, who
was just over from the Old
Sod.
“Faith mum, They’re wonder
ful. Sure those in the kitchen
have niver ' gone out since I
came here over a week ago.”
Talk about hard luck! An ex
change says a New York man
‘had to pay $2,162 for detect-j
jives whom his jealous wife j
'hired to watch him.
“My doctor advised me to
take up motoring for my
health; said I need exercise."
“Pshaw! running a car is no
exercise.”
“No, but getting the money
to pay for it is."
—
An army aviator knocked at
the Heavenly Gates and asked
admission.
“How did you get here?" de
manded St. Peter.
“Oh, just flu,” responded tlx.
airman.
Two townsite kids were over
heard boasting about their rel
' atives.
j “I got an uncle who has a
wooden leg," said one.
j “Aw, that’s nothin,’ ” scoffed
i the other,” My grandma has a
cedar-wood chest.”
It is highly probable that the
| term“ It is not the original cost,
but the up-keep” was first'
said about the marriage li
cense.
-
! The old lady wished to buy
some almonds but the clerks
were all busy and none came to
,the counter where they were
i displayed. Finding that the
clerks paid absolutely no at
tention, her anger finally at
tained an intensity she could
no longer repress.
‘‘Well, Imust say,” she ex
claimed, “this is a fine store!
Isn’t there anyone here to wait
on the nuts?”
The bite of the Jingle Bug is
already apparent in three cas
es ;look out it don’t get at you.
“There’s a swell dresser,”
said Mr. Henpeck, looking in
the furniture store window.
“Never you mind looking at
the “ ‘swell dressers’ ” sharp
ly retorted his wife as she
glanced hastily around. “Those
swell dressed Janes are not al
ways what they seem.”
Longer courtships are being
demanded by educators, who
evidently don’t know what a
strain they are.
The best after-dinner speak
er we ever knew was a chap
who always said: “Give me
the check.
He: “I just paid the doctor,
another ten dollars on his bill.”
She: “ Oh goody! Two more
payments and the baby is all
-11* l!-—T
ours!”
The city*kid was roaming
about in the country when he
came upon a dozen or so empty
condensed milk cans. Greatly
excited, he yelled to his com
panions: ‘‘Hey, fellers, come
quick! I’ve found a cows nest!”
A Los Angeles doctor says
kissing is one of the most dan
gerous practices mankind in
dulges in and claims that thou
sands die from being kissed.
But Hubert T. declares he is
convinced that many more are
dying to be kissed.
There is one local citizen
who declares he will never be
lieve the good old times are
back until we can buy five
cent cigars for a nickel.
The negro janitor of a church
in Ketchikan has a violent
temper. He was converted, but
sometimes his temper would
get the best of his good resolut
ions. On one occasion when he
was repenting one of his lap,
ses he was overheard by the
1 minister making this prayer
after he had asked the Lord to
i forgive him: “Oh Lord, I don’t
|mean to be a bad nigger; so
please, Lord, prop me up on
;ihe leanin’ side.”
• Rumor* thn+ Coolidge intends
to dispense w:4h ell of his pres
ent cabinet members except
Mellon, Weeks and Hoover
suggests the sort of an admin
istration we may expect during
the next four years.
Another candidate for the
Limerick Club rushed in with
this at the last moment before
going to press:
< The Alligator is no great
I shakes
For Looks—his hide is full of
creases.
And yet you must admit he
makes,
Some beautiful valises.
