POLITICAL THUNDER
Party organs are already waxing
hysterical over the proposed visit
of President Harding to Alaska next
year, and mouthing their mushy
thanks for the great honor to be
bestowed upon the Territory and
the benefits to the Territory that
will result.
Of course the trip will be bene
ficial—probably as much so to the
President as to the Territory. But
so far as gaining first-hand infor
mation regarding the requirements
of the Territory is concerned, he
will learn nothing that he does not
already know.
We know it is useless to ask why
the political rags cannot be honest
rather than slushy —useless because
the word “honesty" was deleted
from the politicians' dictionary long
ago.
As the First C itizen of the United
States, the President will be ac
corded the honor and respect due
to his office, and nothing will be
left undone to make his visit an
enjoyable one. In fact a large pro
portion of the population will be
glad to give him a real, hearty, hos
pitable Alaskun welcome if they
can break through the circle of
fawning pditiei ns wills whom he
is sure t„ be suriuunded<

j is given a lease on th • second Hour
! of the Heckman bu. .mg for the
l
| next two y- rs for establish
ment of cUi ; and I idge rooms. The
consideration for tha transaction
was that J R. Heck men and Com
pany arc turning over the upper
floor to the Elks without any rental
charge at all except the cost of
heating. As expressed by the Elks
the offer Was so gpnerous that it
could not be overlooked. The lodge
i conclude ’ t V-t it was being given
i something oi great Value without
' cost and that as a result it would
be possible at once to give Ketchi
kan the beginning of a club such
as it never had before and which
undoubtedly will ultimately devel
op into a beautiful Elks hotne.
The most enthsiastie Eik had not
hoped to get clubrooms, and such
clubroorns; so quickly. While econ
omy will be the watehwosd at the
start the organization hopes to make
Such progress that it will be but a
short time until Ketchikan Elks
may boast as luxurious clubrooms
as are to be found on the Pacific
tat;
A preacher in Ohio was arrested
(or making hootch. He probably
believed he was simply following
in his master's footsteps.
In the land of the “Heathen Chi

his wife. In “Christianized” coun
tries he pays after he gets her.
Quebec cleared $4,000,000 from
the sale of liquor last year. The
United States spent $7,000,000 for
the suppression of liquor—and made
a dismal failure.
The Alaska Dispatch of Seattle
is now published in magazine form
with 16 pages. The Dispatch cov
ers a distinctive field, and its new
form is much more appropriate to
the mission it has unnertaken.
The Valdez Miner has been ac
quired by the Prospector Publish
ing Company and will be published
hereafter in Seward. The Miner
has always been among our most
highly esteemed exchanges, and we
hope the new owners will continue
the publication on the high plane
established by H. B. Selby.
With the resumption of work in
Butte copper mines and the Ana
conda smelter, in which more than
3000 men are already employed,
with the prospect of other mines
opening up in the near future and
employing as many more, a decid
ed rift is formed in the clouds that
have for so long hung over the
metal mining industry. Another
hopeful sign for copper is the decis
ion of the Britannia company to
at once rebuild their 2500-ton con
centrator.
