“The House That Quality Built”
X~X~X~X~X*
PUBLIC SPIRITED
While we admit we have not been
as as faifh'ul in attendance at the
meetings ofv the Commercial Club
as we should have been, we are plan
ning to do better, and we want to
i yxp'ess our appreciation of the efforts
of those who do attend, and from
mouth to month plan and act in
every way possible for the best in
terests of a:r community in general.
It is without a doubt the one out
standing factor and organization in
ihe comma lity whose actions result
in ihe upbuilding of our town, and
secures legislative action, such as
the placing of lights and beacons
at needed places' in the waters con
tiguous to Petersburg, and many
(lungs during a year that benefits
every one living in the community,
and in a particular way all the Busi
ness firms: Yet .in spite of these
benefits directly accrueing to the
Business firms, and peole in gener
al. there are in Petersburg-as there
are in other places-Business men
who never pretend to attend on<
session a year of the Commercial
Club, and who do not even pay the
membership fee to meet the finan
cial budget. To prove whether this
is right or not, let us ask ourselves
this question. What if every other
Merchant and Business man gave
the same attention to the Commer
ciai dub as I do would wre have
ever had lie Narrows dredged?
Would we have ever had the lights
and beacon markers at several
'places in our waters that has meant
'the saving of lives and destruction
J of property Would we have had
j the attention of the Government
j authorities attracted to and action
taken towards the preservation of the
j Herring in our waters? Would we
now have had set in motion the
wheels of Congress that will result
in the dredging out of our Peters
burg harbor to ample depth, so that
our fleet may have plenty of room
to anchor in the quiet safety of 0111
protected harbor? No, these and
marv other benefits that have been
j initiated and brought to pass by and
through tile action of the Commer
cial Club. WTe could name many
more, such as the having secured
the attention of the Gov. authorities
to : he need of our Fur ranchers who
have suffered serious losses by not
being able to cope with the diseases
among the foxes, and to provide the
proper feed. The presence and work
here of the Specialist in Trapping
under employ of our Government,
the setting aside of the Petersburg
creek section for tne particular be
nefit of the people of Petersburg,
and many other things.
€
T.t docs si'em to us that ot all peo
pie in every community who should
take an active interest in and at
tend regularly the meetings of the
Commercial Club, it is those who art
h) business here, and who, of course,
directly benefit the most, and it
would seem that those who do not
do so have assumed somewhat the
role of the DRONE BEP1 i. e. take
his eats and sleep and cash income,
and added benefits from the activi
ties of the Commercial Club from
! month to mimth, and year to year,
| but never attend and help carry on.
I
Let us hope that, with the coming or
the new year (or before) our Busi
| ness men .right down the line from
I one end of town to the other, will
I
i turn over a new leaf, and swing in
| line to do their bit in helping niain
j tain this splendid organization tha‘
looks after Lie wellfare of the Com
munity as does no other. Say,
would nt it be fine to see every Busi
ness and Professional man and many
others at the regular meetings of the
| Commercial Club?
THE GOLDEN RULE
“X- G
j Of all the teachers who ever lived
i.on earth, the’‘most noted, the one
j whose word? are quoted the most by
j month, and in literature, the one
! who is recognized as the GREATEST
!or ALL TEACHERS is Jesus Christ.
There never was an adress or sermon
uttered on earth that contains so
i much milk of human kindness, and
wno^e diction is so perfect, and
which is such a perfect gem of li
terature as that SERMON ON THE
\
MOUNT recorded in the fifth, sixth
oud seventh chapters of Matthew.
Therein is found this wonderful ex
pression of manly Christian ethics
commonly shown as THE GOLDEN
RULE. "Do unto oiiiers as ye would
tiiat they do unto you”.
What a different world this would
he in which to live and rear our
children, if this were universally
practiced, it is trite and proper that
we should recognize outstanding
manifestation0 of the practice of the
GOLDEN RULE, when it occurs in
any move *n the community general
ly. and such practice and a whole
some example of carrying out this
rule was the recent effort of our
citizens generally in subscribing to
the funds collected to pay the ex
ponces for Miss. Bessie Hanson who
has gone ft a Tuberculosis Sanitar
ium for reeded treatment. During
tHe past year there have been sever
al things occur, in which a goodly!
number of our citizens have been j
concerned 1:y donating to certain
funds which have been spent to al
leviate suffering, and carry cheer
and comfort to these in need such
•s contributions to tlie sufferers from
the hurricane that swept the Flori
da coast, and to the Red Cross drive.
We feel that there is plenty of
evidence manifest in one way or
another to show that a great many
■if our peonle are not sealed up with
iheir own interests to the exclusion
of a real sympathy and willingness t
help others in need.
$2:*..non DAMAGES
A. j ml gem oi damages to the
amount of $^3,000 was recently giv
|e?’ by Judge Sherman, of the New
Yo.k Supreme Court, against the
Ueher of an air rifle and shot to
I a bov of 13 years.
The seller had refused to refund j
I on the rifle when the mother of the
boy c-ent nim back with it. She j
then hid the rifle, but the boy found ■
,t, and whne practicing shooting in j
a neighboring cellar with a play- j
mate a child of seven years was shot,
and killed by the playmate. The
father of the little boy brought suit
for damage’s against the seller of the
rifle.
The judge in ending for the plain
ti''f held that the consequences of
causes ending in the child’s death
was a pre: .mate result of the sell
er's illegal act, and one of the prob- j
able consequences to prevent which j
the law for bidding the sale of dan- j
gerons weapons to minors had been j
enacted.
This item is brought to the at- \
tention of the City Dads and to the (
attention of parents as an answer to
the local pioblem of selling arms |
and munitions to minor children
use such weapons in promiscuous
‘-itooiing in the immediate vicinity,
of the town.
ALASKANS HOLT) NO OTHER
ALLEGIANCE
To hold the position of Alaska
Indians in political affairs as anal
ogous to that of the Onondagas is
%
to discredit the Alaskans. They
accepted with joy and hold with
pride their citizenship of the United
States. They have no tribal entity
and no tribal recognition has ever
been given them. They asked no
fa\ors of their government and have
had to demand their rights.
We scorn any citizenship that
swears allegiance to the United
Stages but makes mental reserva
tion of allegiance to mother country
—be it Indian or any other. We
therefore as good citizens accept the
duty and responsibility of election
as a part cf that citizenship. We
are of the governed and we hold it
out right to say who shall govern.
A. light geed Jeffersonian theory.
The editorial force* of the Empire
are drunk with their duplicity and
bigotry. They would tell but part:
of the truth. It is not in them to 1
>
te l it a1!. Therefore we pass on |
that part which they have omitted
i
because it would not fit their un-1
American political ‘doctrine.
