BROADCASTING .U. S. .BUNCOM
OF EDUCATION
KOMO radio broadcasting station
of Seattle has been cluttering up
the air with a so-called Alaska
School Teachers’ Institute. Accord
ing to the Bureau this bit of self-ad
vertising will be of benefit to over
250 nurses, doctors and teachers in
Alaska. It might be well if the
bunkum bureau of Indian educa
tion would just tell the public how
many of its teaching force ar even
stations afford this luxury.
It should be noted that announce
ment of this clever bit of advertis
ing followed condemnation of the
Bureau in Washington by its failure
to give certain communities decent
housing conditions for pupils and
teachers. Angcon has a schoolhouse
which some thirty years ago was a
“native shack” and at no time has
the teacher at that station had a
place to live. This year the Bureau
rente! an unfinished house which
was anything but comfortable for
the teachers to live in. The school
building when last seen by the wn<
er housed some forty pupils and wa.
unsanitary and unfit for any school
purposes; a room in the unfinished
residence was used for housing 3 4
< luldren In tfci primary grade
these children were seated at rough
board tables and sitting on grocery
and dry goods boxes for chairs. The
teachers when in their rooms sat
huddled by the stove unable to keep
warm in spite of overcoats which
they wore while entertaining their
guests.
In Petersburg the conditions are
somewhat better. But unless some
thing is done very soon the whole
building will go crashing to the
ground pupils and all. The posts
may be taken out by the handful
so decayed are they and the new
flooring in the entryway only cov
ers rotted flooring underneath.
Other schools built shortly after
Dr. Sheldon Jackson took over the
work, before most if not all of the
present school generation were
born, are in just as delapidated con
dMicn.
It is not radio broadcasting that
the school system needs nor wants.
The money spent on this bit of
advertising had best be spent on
improving the condition of the
schools and let them advertise them- |
solves by results turned out in the
finished product.
MAKE BELIEVE REPUBLICANS
WOULD DEFEAT SUTHERLAND
Another effort is being made by
the Demmy-Reps to defeat Dele
gate Sutherland and the entire pro
gressive ticket at the primaries to
be held on the 24th. John Frame,
“Republican Democratic Committee
man” has made a deal with George
Grigsby whereby the vote of Suther
lands friends will be delivered to
George Grigsby, Democratic candv
date for Delegate to Congress. We
do not hear the noble champions of
decent politics in Juneau decrying
such chicanery.
It is well to remember that Grigs
by is chairman of the Democratic
Platform committee, member of the
Donohoe, Troy, Robertson federal
ists sychophantic machine. We
have here the amazing spectacle of
a Republican National Committee
man selling his party to the demmy
rep machine for the purpose of fur
thering his own political ambitions
and political grudges. Unable to
put up a ticket the equal of tho
progressive line-up, the frame-up
cabal enters the primaries to defeat
the stronger members of the ticket
only to knife the weaker ones in
the later election.
In place of Representative Wil
liam Panl they hope to nominate
Bufftne Wacker of Ketchikan be
, cause he (Eugene) has an “Indian
1 wife” and not for his ability to se
j cure legislation beneficial to the ter
ritory.
| ..Pat Gildca .another frame-upper
dodges around the corner never do
! daring himself in favor of home
I rule. He lets others do that for
j him. He is a former hireling of the
I Alaska Pish Commission and he
, promises, if elected to raise that
j corpse from its grave in order that
'the machine may continue its pa
, tronage for the destruction of the
| salmon fisheries via the hatcherv
j route.
I Charley Darwell is about as ca
| pable of discussing legislation in a
, legislative assembly as a trained
seal. Being a trap owner and can
nery man he may be counted on put
ting forth his best efforts to carry
out lie wishes of the Federal Bri
gade.
The last man on the frame-up
ticket is Olts of Ketchikan. But.
he repudiates the attempt of Frame,
to use him as a tool and prefers to
be known as an Alaskan and not
eleon.
a political chameleon.
By his support of Hunt against
Benjamin, Frame hopes to have
C T. Gardner elected to block any
constructive legislation. The plan
being to split the progressive vote
between Benjamin and Hunt and
to run in Gardner. Gardner will be
rome nbered by his antics before the
Legislative Fish Committee at Ju
neau when he emphaticaaly declar
ed that to abolish the fish traps
uld destroy the entire ind
’i-t during the wonderful se
of last summer stated in the office
! of THE ALASKAN that the traps
must go. He is a Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.

THE GREATEST DISCOVERY
_
‘‘The greatest discovery ever
made is that a jackass will keep on
walking straight ahead if you tie a
bundle of hay three feet in front
of cis nose.” The primary elections
in the offing is a biennual convul
sion with the electorate in Alaska.
There are two bundles of hay dang
ling a couple of feet in front of the
votets of the Territory.. They are
tied in position by the same expert
hands—the demmy-reps and the fed
eralists tories. This select coterie
of buric rat-3 who really rule the
Territory in spite of the will and
wish of the majority are Siamese
twins with the Barnum and Bailey
ballyhooers.
The extra quality, the fragrance, the mellowness to the taste of this
popular Ham is just the natural result of unusual selection and the
exclusive Frye process of curing. The great Frye packing plant be
ing right in the heart of the market it serves, FRYE’S “DELICIOUS ’
BRAND HAM reaches your table without losing an atom of its per
fect flavor.
DOUBLE inspection by U. S. Gov
eminent and Frye experts is your
double assurance of quality.
Write to Frye & Co., Seattle, for
Frye’s “Meat Guide.” Send
cover postage.
There are a helava lot of noses
that want only the bunkum hay puc
out by eleven ounce politicians of
Juneau.

HEALTH TALK
KEEP CLEAN—INSIDE
Outgo is more important than in
come so far as the body is concern
ed. One can keep well while fast
ing, but not when the bowels fail
in their functions. The waste of
the body must be kept moving or
illness will ensue.
A failure of the bowels is a fail
ure of nerve supply to the muscles
of the bowels. Chiropractic spinai
adjustments, by removing spinal ir
ritation and pressure on these
nerves, secure the return of norm
al bowel action.
A Prominent Cleveland Journalist
Writes—
“For many years my bowels were
irregular, resulting in auto-intoxi
cation and general debility. Pills
lost their power. Physical culture
was without satisfactory results. I
was obliged to use a syringe regu
larly. Then I went to a chiropract
or. After he had given me ad
justments for a short time my bow
els began to move normally and
nave been normal ever since.
