NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTIONS
Many, many moons ago, we made a
last resolution and wo have kept
it faithfully and herewith pass it
along as being the easiest of any to
keep: We resolved to resolve no
more.
As each year rolls along we hear
men resolve to quit smoking, using
tobacco, and a lot of minor habits
that are of harm to ourselves more
than to our fellow men. We even
make up our minds to join church
es and to give them our active sup
port and to give freely to Near East
Iiclief or for the conversion of the
foreign heathen.
llie keeping of such long range
resolutions are of no effort to most
who make them so we offer to our
friends and others the determina
ton at which we arrived when we
no longer made resolutions. It is
simple and a daily effort to make
this world better for my having
lived in it. That my life shall be
so lived that others will say I am a
better man for having known him.
So tba; they wJd S3V he was a good
cili.en "nd he c i bis bit in making
his corn try wo; In living in.
In c.iher wore cur New Years'
resoJu+;cn is nothing but a d.V
determination to live for God and
Country.
AIMIE SEM 1»LE M< l»HERSON .
There is being passed around in
Petersburg a copy of a newspaper
published in San Diego, California,
containing the article which lead
to the million dollar libel suit by
the pastor of the Angeles Temple.
That any man would stoop to the
publication of such a contemptible
and scurrilous article is past the
i-.nderstandingof the Alaskan. That
such an attack upon woman has
not been decried by the valiant
champions of good names in Alas
ka is another mystery; that the
writer °f the article calls himself
a man is still another mystery. The
cnly justification for such an ap
pellation no doubt is due to the
fact that he wears breeches.
We have no sympathy for the
double standard of morals. Even
were this unfortunate woman
guilty of unbecoming conduct dur
ing her disappearance one is not
justified in condemning her alone
and making her to bear the burden
of the punishment. The very men
who condemn her in loudest tones
make possible the White Lights of
restricted Districts. And that is
the truth be it "in Alaska or the
States. “Let him who is without
sin cast the first stone” and while
He who spoke thise words wrote
iu the sands, the accusers of a wo
* man slinked off in shame. And
we “men” of today have need of
being ashamed of pointing the
finger of scorn at this woman while
we cover our own sins and trans
gressions by taking a good bath
a clean shave and passing the collec"
tion plate,
MEN! The humble but odifer
ous skunk is a sweet smelling ani
mal along side of some of us men.
DUTY ON FROZEN HERRING
. .A decision just handed down tyi
the United States Court of Customs
with respect to importation of her
ring will be received with gratifi
cation hy those engaged in that in
d us try in Alaska. .Under the de
cis'on frozen herring will not be re
ceived free of duty on the saint
basic as fresh herring but must car
ry .a .tariff of one .percent .pei
pound.
. .The case arose over the importa
tion from Nova Scotia of seven
lots of herring which were involve!
as “Frozen Sea Herrinjg,” Fresh
Sea Herring Frozen” and “FresI
Frozen Sea Herring.”—Anchorage
Time*.
GAME OF TAG
" he Alaska Game Commission
nas received, through the postmas
ter at Sitka, a letter from a party
in Missouri which states that two
mallard ducks were recently killed
in that region which bore tags with
inscription “Sitka, Alaska” and
i r-—
the date “April 1926.”
It the person who tagged the
l birds will address the Alaska Game
j Commission at Juneau, the Com
i mission will furnish further details
i as to where the birds were killed
j and who reported finding them.
The Commission is much interes
cd in this, for the reason that the
banding of the ducks is being car
ried on extensively by the Biologi
cal Survey, to ascertain their move
ments and all such information re
lative to the movements of birds is
quite valuable.
