HOONAH
In Liberty Magazine, Floyd
Gibbons in a'story called “Red
' Napoleon” prophesied that the
bellow Races would rule the
world by 1933. Such a rule has
already come to this town. A
member of the School Board
for fancied insults kicks white
children out of the Territorial
school and he is further protest
. ing the right of American citi
zens to incorporate their town.
It is said that Henry Moys has
political aspirations and will
file for the Democratic nomina
tion for Delegate to Congress by
3 933 and believe it or not, he
will control the Democratic
party with an iron hand. That
is a fine future for Jefferson's
famous party.

boating and aviation.

Rustgard Reversals
-X
. .Many people believe that the
establishing of pulp and paper
mills in the Territory will be the
forerunner of other industrial
developments. But two years
ago when John Rustgard deliv
ered his famous speech at An
chorage, and afterwards had it
published, he could see no pos
sible good in the efforts being
made along this line of timber
development.
He majestically declared:
“If the lands of the coastal
regions had not been withdrawn
from private appropriation and
placed under the bureaus, the
pulp and paper industry would
have been established long ago
and would probably now be one
of our leading industries. The
timber is now given away at a
nominal price.. That .is .better
than a deed.. The future for the
development of Alaska’s resourc
es was never darker than now.”
At that 'time John Rustgard
could see no virtue in any of the
bureaus. But as a candidate for
Delegate to Congress, John now
embraces all the bureaus, and in
his platform and “speeches” is
prolific in reversals and high
sounding platitudes, like the fol
“Any man who undertakes to
lowing:
use his political -following .to
obstruct .or discourage .men of
means in the building up of our
industries is a menace to the
public and should be driven out
of politics so effectively that he
will never again be able to at
tract any attention.”
“I believe in eliminating from
the public life of the Territory
all those individuals who make
a business of stirring up antag
onism against industrial insti
tutions for the sake of getting a
hand-out.”
And it is because of these and
similar inconsistencies that the
voters of Alaska are beginning
to marvel and wonder what
manner of man John Rustgard
really is. Has he any real prin
ciples or is he only a common
demagogue who now seeks high
er salary through the mistaken
notion that he can fool the peo
ple all the time? The fall of
this idol is pathetic and lament
able.

NO APOLOGY AS YET
-x
Up to date, the Juneau Em
pire has failed to apologize for
the publication of that “mali
cious lie” that Tom Marquam
, sent that paper from Washing
ton, stating that the bill to al
, low Indians of Alaska to bring
suit against the government had
been “killed” by the Claims
J Committee of the House of Re
presentatives.
A similar story published in
The Alaska Weekly was prompt
ly repudiated by its editor upon
his learning that he had been
duped into publishing matter
without foundation of truth.
Yes, there are ethics in man
agement of newspapers and in
'those offices where they have
any regard for the ethics of the
profession, wrongs are immedi
ately righted—for the honor of
the profession.
. .The ALASKAN at this time
commends The ALASKA WEEK
LY for its correction and its at
titude and regard for the decent
dissemination of news.
LEST YE FORGET
The Republicans of the First
Division should remember that,
they have the choice of a Legis
lative ticket, that properly ex
ercized, will mean that their re
presentatives in the next session
will be men without strings on
them and who will be thorough
ly competent to legislate for the
best interests of all people. By
marking an “X” before the
name of Steel for Senator, and
Johnson, Paul, Sommer and
Winn for Representative, a duty
will be wisely performed.
