AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
G20 ge A. Parks, Alaskan,;
1 eeame governor of the Terri
tory June 15th. His accession
brings to an unlamented end
the long period of carpet bag
government inaugurated at the
close of the administration of
Governor J. F. Strong, the las^
real Alaskan to occupy the
governor’s chair before Mr.
Parks.
Although finding little fauh
wi'h moit of the foreign in
cumbcnt9, Alaskans are uni-1
versally glad that their regime
is enr’ed and that one of then
own people is once again in
charge as chief executive. Fur
thermore with one accord they
are hoping that never agair
will the governship be given ti
any but men who are citizens
of the Territory and call it
their homeland.
However able the men sem
us by Washington and how
ever much they may strive t<
further the interests of the ;
Territory and the welfare of!
its poor 1-3, their usefulness i; !
usual-y limited by a most pro ]
found lack of understanding I
of the land and its people and 1
handicapped by a more or:
less fantastic lot of notions
about the Territory and what ;
should be done to further its 1
development. By the time they
have discarded their precon- '■
ceived views and have learned
how to be really useful their
term of office has expired and j
Alaska has profited little or
nothing by their coming. Ex
cepting the late governor
Bone who probably possessed
far greater knowledge of the
country than any previous gov
ernor of the imported brand,
few of our foreign governors
have had more than a medi
ocre understanding of what
Alaska is and what it needs,
before coming to the Terri
tory and taking upon themsel
ves the administration of its
complicated governmental ac
tivities. By far the greater
number have been little more
than political figureheads who
spent more time meddling in
Alaska politics than in furth
ering constructive development
of the territorial resources.
Only by filling the governor’s
coat with men like Governor
Parks, men who know the
country thoroughly to start
with and who are in full sym-'
pathy with the aspirations
md aims of its people, can
he governor’s office be made!
)f real service and benefit. No
natter how able a man may i
be he can do but little toward
tiding the development of the I
ountry and the upbuilding o.
ts industries if most of hi. 1
arm of office is devoted tc
earning what to do.
! _-o;- ;
It is not the lack of new idea? :
hat holds men back, nor is it!
he ability to generate new
deas that pushes them for
I vard. The value of new idea*
| is over-rated.
The one thing that takes a
nan ‘ahead is his ability to get!
one good idea, and then stick;
! with it through lean and fat
/ears, through war and peace, j
hrough fire and blood.
Too many of us jump from j
>ne idea to another, froA one |
ob to another, scrapping a j
lost of good ideas and good!
ixperiences as we race along. ■
•’ew businesses ever die from 1
lack of good ideas. Rather j
.hey die from lack of men who !
an carry out ideas-good ex-1
acutives, men who can ta;ke'
in assignment and then come
back with a package under j
their arms, men who, if you!
please, “carry the message to
Garcia.” j
I No one except the man who i
pays the bills know how ex
pensive it is to experiment j
; with new ideas.
--—o—-—.
A friend, upon being asked
as to his church affiliations,
answered, “I am a Baptist, but:
[ am not working at itvery dili
gently." This brings out a!
point of more than ordinary;
importance. The thing of pos
ing as a church member, a
business man, a lodge member,
an American or any other
; thing and not being able to
| qualify is a matter of serious
j mport. If there is anything
• that would make us bristle up
and want to fight it would be'
(that some one had classed us j
as being un-American. The in-,
habitants of the United States
pride theihselves of being
| Americans. It means a great
deai. It is a worthy pride. But-*
Being an American carries
with it a great responsibility.
One cannot simply exist in
America and claim the dis
tinction of being an American.
He may not be un-American;
he may be just a passive Amer
ican entitled to the distinction
by reason of living under the
American flag. It is true that
the American flag protects
many people not wholly wor
thy of its exalted standard,
land to be fully entitled to the
name American, one must
square his living with those
high principles of citizenship
that imbued the fathers who
founded this republic. These
principles govern the men de
serving the title. They reach
into his business, and are a
part of his social activities, his
| thoughts and acts. A true red
blooded American will not
conduct his business in a dis
honest manner. He will not
3tand off and criticize the gov
ernment without doing his
part to correct real or imagi
| nary faults. He must stand up
* on the principles, that make
I Americans.
It is the faithful observance
I of principles and not the fact
that one lives under the Ameri
I can flag that makes a real
1 American.

AMERICA
(As it may be Bung now)
My country’s dry to me,
This land of liberty
Is closed up tight!
No matter where I go
The answer’s always "NO”
Unless I shyly show
That I’m all right.
Some natives over hore
Can only drink near-beer,
But I don’t care,
For out among the hills
There are some "Private” stills
My heart with rapture thrills;
I know just where!
Let music swell the breeze
But that will not appease
Thirst like a stein!
Let mortal tongues awake,
For there’s a way to take
Just give a word or make
The countersign!
Our father’s Son made wine,
St. Paul pronounced it fine
For human ills.
But solons of today,
• Control our lives, so they
Take all our drinks away
And give us frills!

It is expected the White
House will be repaired this
summer, but in the event of
its not being done there is no
danger of the tenants vacat
