OUR WARRIOR CLASS
With Judge Wickersham charging
all kinds of fraud in the election of
Charles A. Sulzer as delegate in the
contest between he and George B.
Grigsby; a threatened Bolsheviki up
rising worrying officials of the state
department, and different Alaskans
calling each other liars in the steam
ship hearings, there is a regular Alas
kan three-ringed circus on just at
present at the capital of the nation.
We sometimes think that the law1
makers of the nation would be rather
glad if the Bolsheviki or someone else
would annex Alaska, so that they
would not be bothered so much. .
«• It is a dull day in congress when
some voluntary delegate from either
below or above the Arctic circle does
not blow in and w'ant a concession to
raise ice worms at Childs glacier or
to get a lease on the North pole to
raise musk oxen for the musk. Every
one is attempting to l^gulate Alaskan
affairs or to get something out of con
gress for Alaska or something out of
Alaska for congress.
Each year the delegate contest is
on and the contestants exchange pet
names with each other.
In view of all these facts and the
samples of Alaskans that congress and
official Washington has had an' oppor
tunity to examine,- we are not sur
prised that they wee prepared to be
lieve that the territory was threatened
with a Bolshevik uprising. It^ is
is strange that they did not imagine
the people were killing each other off
in droves.
r ui lue tJuiiicciLiuii ui congress we
might say that it is the fighting men
who go to Washington. They either
go there voluntarily or are sent to
fight for something. The law-abiding
citizens stay at home and look after
the development of the territory. We
don’t want to be judged by our official
and unofficial representatives. They
are like the old warrior race used to
be in Japan—just trained for fighting.
Congress will agree with us in saying
that they are effective fighters and
usually get results when they go to
Washington asking for something.—
Douglas News.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
In the shipping board hearing now
* on at Washington, Maurice Leehey
twice in the same session called John
E. Ballaine a liar. Either Mr. Bal
laine does not fight at Mr. Leehey’s
weight or he believes in the proverb
about turning the other cheek to be
smitten. We can see no other reason
why there was not a fist fight.—Doug
las News.

Whether James Wickersham is be
ing paid to represent Canadian or any
other interests at Washington, or
whether he is simply at his old trick
of trying to defeat any Alaska legis
lation that might be proposed by any
body but himself, the results are the
same. He is still making a nuisance
of himself.—Juneau Empire.
Whether native cr foreign born, the
citizen who can not read, comprehend
and speak English can not function at
a very high quality of citizenship.
We suppose the old-fashioned wall
motto of the old-fashioned home will
have to retire in favor of one to adorn
the car. “God Bless Our Automobile.”
Five years from now bolshevism
will be but like the bad odor that
clings around a broken gasoline jug.
This is in way of prophecy—but—
make a note of it.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson says that the
importation of reindeer meat from
northern Canada will end meat profit
eering. It will till some meat profit^
eer corners the reindeers.

It’s not so many years ago that
farmers fondly hoped for dollar wheat.
But who ever expected to see dollar
eggs?
Bolsheviki are at work In Turkey,
hut do not seem to have much idea oi
what to do that would be worse than
normal.
*
Don’t sneer at “one dollar. Mex.”
any more. Silver is so high now
that a Mexican dollar is within one
cent of par.
Fake American bills are in circula
tion among the bolsheviki of Russia
and. at that, are better than the local
currency.
From the news dispatches it appears
that the bolshevists at present are win
ning on all fronts, though caving in
in the interior.
Education is a grand thing. A truck
shover can get $15 a day and a good
college professor can get at least that
much a week.
Bolshevists in America must now
realize that converting the nation to
their ideas is not going to be an easy
or a comfortable job.
Argentina settled its red problem by
shipping 3.000 bolshevists from the
country. The United States should not
be too proud to learn.
Dealers announce that tobacco prices
will not go any higher. This promise
does not in any way cover certain
brands of cigarettes.
When one reads about the daily hold
ups and burglaries, and now and then
about an attempt at kidnaping, it’s
great and glorious to be poor.
The consumer also would like to
know why he should have to put up
with “lightless nights” when there is
no war and he is not to blame.
