By AHN-KUTTY
There’s a deaj of trouble going
on in Mexico. Outwardly its a
clash between the Mexican govern
went and the Catholics of the
country. It will probably come out
in the washing that there has been
too much church and that religion
in truth has little to do with the
cause.
We’re for the American flag. We
were born under its folds, we were
raised beneath it’s colors We stand
! for what it stands for. We don’t
however, stand for, nor believe,
much of the bunkum that runs in
print under it’s picture on the edi
torial pages of some papers. If an
editor is going to lie, slander and
abuse, why not head his rantings
with the black flag? We’d then
know what we were up against
without wading down into his of
ferings.
It’s rather a rough game they’re
pulling off against the Americans
in France. To us stay-at-home
folk,the jeers, cuss words andj
chunks of pavement tossed trucu-,
lontly at our countrymen overseas.;
leads to a conclusion that Paree
isn’t so gay after all. And wouldn’t,
it be better, for the time being, any j
way, to do our playing in our own'
backyard. Our home brew may not
be so palatable, nor the leg shows
so punkish, but our ears wouldn’t
be pelted with vituperation, nor
our heads with street cobbles.

During the big timber strike of(
the I. W. W. in the Gray’s Harbor
region, 1917, a preacher ended his
harangue before an audience of
mill owners and officials with:
“God save the country.” The Riot
Act, read to the Passaic, N. J.,
strikers, wound up with: “God
save the State.” The Royal pro
Since the Westfs first Automobile
r— Union Gasoline Has Been the Motor’s Friend
BACK in 1899, the first crude
automobile made its appear*
ance on the Pacific Coast. People
gasped in wonder at the sight of it,
and a few daring ones actually
trusted themselves to the dangers
of the “horseless carriage."
What strides have been made in
the automobile industry since then!
You can easily recall the topless,
high-seated bicycle effects in the
early models—the outside brakes
and gear levers—the chain drive.
Then came the first improve*
ment, a snappier looking car. And
thus we graduated into more com*
fortable machines.
Step by step there developed the
automobJe of today.
In the years that have passed,
since people stood astounded while
the earliest products chugged down
our main streets, hun
Union Gasoline has progressed. Has
stood the test of years.
Just as constant thought and re
search have been directed toward
improvements in automobiles, so
has Union Oil Company of Cali*
fornia constantly improved non*
detonating Union Gasoline and the
methods of refining this fuel.
And now when you buy a car
you do not only consider the looks
of the machine. You ask how long
has it been manufactured, what is
the record of its makers.
How has it stood the test of
time!
So with gasoline.
In non-detonating Union Gaso>
line you get the perfection result*
ing from four decades of refining
and marketing—of over forty years
of research—all to serve-you.
Consider these facts
urcus vctis u«v«
been made—have ex
isted for a year or two
and then died out.
Time, that test of
all things, has weeded
out the many unable
to “make the grade”
and left the standard
cars of today.
Like these automo
biles, non-detonating

gasoline. Consider
that drivers of all
kinds of automobiles*
from the earliest
model to the most
modern, have opcr*
ated on and been
given satisfaction
with non .detonating
Union Gasoline.
That is your guar*
an tee.

In the last school survey by Dr.
Frank M. Phillips of the George
| Washington University, and chief:
statistician of the U. S. Bureau ofl
Education, it is made public thatj
tlio schools of the State of Washing-'
ton outrank those of all other!
•
States. The points are on finance,;
enrollment, daily attendance and!
school system efficiency and on
teacher training. Despite the con*1
sistent record for excellence, the
Washington schools are so man
aged, financially, that they are, al-j
so, cheaper. California is highest'
with a per child annual school cost
of $159.35. The per child annual
school cost f°r Washington is
$81.27.
Congressman A. M. Free, of Cal.,
has had another brain storm about
Alaska. Let’s see: Does this rip
snorting, junketing, fault finding'
official of another State know any
thing of Alaska? Did he come here
a deck sleeper, on crowded small
boat years ago? Did he land him
self on bleak and rocky beach, sling
a pack to his back and hit it out for
the great unknown beyond the
S'hark-toothed ice-cloaked moun- *
’ «
tains of the coast range? Has he •
sledded it over the lumpy bog and i
swampy lowland of the interior? i
|«!
Has he fought the chill of winter, <
the almost overwhelming lonliness
of the long night and the nerve
wracking silence of the unexplored?
Has he scaled granite cliffs and *
i *
footed it on and through the:*
gloomy forests of the vales? Has he *
done anything to make it easier '
for the men and women who dared *
and won the last frontier of the '
v/orld? Has he said anything that}'
would cheer the tired hearts of j’
those who mucked and moiled in!*
the opening of the vast country? ‘
Has he done anything to help make
Alaska a wealth producer? It’s1
easy to sit back on the cushions j
and criticize—for pay. It’s easy toj
And fault with a new country, t^ei
developing of which soft meated
men of the Free type took no
hand.
Troy—eleven ounces, surely must
have been imbibing again. In a
recent editorial under the heading:
"Indians Should Settle Their Own
Destiny by Non-Voting” he comes
^whimpering just as the bully
whimpers when he runs up against
the lad who is going to trim him.
He comes wailing for just one more
crack at the ballot box for himself
and his friends. Don’t oppose us
this time, he sobs; don’t throw any
wrench in our machine, please. All
in all, the editorial is a sign of
weakness and the exposure of a
yellow streak a yard wide. We
knew this saffron band was there, <
of course, but we didn’t look for «!
it to show up so soon. Well, right ^
now, and here, Hon. Troy-eleven <j
ounces- is advised that the Indian is «j
going to vote, and on the next eleo- «i
tion day, at that. Who for, we don’t 4
know. We don’t think that the in-j j
dependents,?? nor Troy, eleven ♦!
ounces, nor the me-toos in .print
and in politics mean well for Alas
ka and Alaskans. Thinking thusly,
we’ve done what we could, we’re
doing what we can to line all vot
ers against the independents?? and
the Juneau-Ketchikan political ma- !
chine. The Indian is after exactly \
what his white brother is after— !
a fair shake and a square deal. «
Like a majority of his white bro- «
thers he does not think he’ll get it <
«
under the iron heel of a machine <
«
ruled boss nor the hob-nailed sole <
of an Independent bloc. 4

C.P.R. BOATS CARRY MAIL
It appears that there are a num
ber of people who have overlooked
the fact that that the C. P. R.
boats are now carrying mail be
tween American ports. There is no
reason why everyone should not
participate in the benefits of the!
new arrangement which went into;
effect on June 14 whereby the
Canadian Pacific would carry mail
between American ports On the
xiorthbound voyages pouches for
Juneau and Skagway are taken on;
at Wrangell, while on the south-1
bound voyage a pouch for Ketchi
kan is taken on at Wrangell as well
as mail for points in Canada and
the States. -Wrangell Sentinell
The customs report for Peters
burg shows considerable more im
port and export than Wrangell yet
for some reason or other Wrangell
gets better boat and mail service.
V/hats the reason.
