FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919
AND ENGLAND’S AN OLD HAND
Packing, or the lack of it, has
brought us Americans many scoldings
in the course of our trade with for
eign lands. There is corresponding
comfort in the news that when a Chil
ean importer recently received three
consignments from England and one
from the United States, all of the
same kind of goods, he suffered a loss
on account of breakage ranging from
33% per cent on the British merchan
dise and but 2 per cent on the Ameri
can.
If these figures indicated anything
like an average on our own goods
there would be great cause for rejoic
ing. The truth of the matter is that
in the direction of packing we still
have a deal of progress to make. In
countries like Colombia proper pack
ing is often considered as more impor
tant than low prices.
ALASKA’S HEROIC DEAD
Assistant, District Attorney Ragan
is the third federal official to be mur
dered in Alaska within a year. The
first was Deputy Marshal Calhoun of
Craig. Then was killed Deputy Mar
shal Evans of Seward.
These men died for their country
and fellow men as heroically as died
soldiers on the battlefields of France.
Sometimes we are apt to forget the
plodding man in obscure place who
goes about performing his duty from
day to day. Somebody has said that
the greatest hero is not the man to
whom comes the opportunity to do
something so dramatic in its nature
that, it attracts the attention of many,
but rather the man who in the routine
and humdrum of his daily life does
his duty to his country, his family, his
associates, his fellow men. It is much
the more difficult task.
Those men whose routine and hum
drum it is to enforce the laws the
people have made for their govern
ment are constantly exposed to the ca
prices of the mad and the vengeance
of the vicious. They know it, and
they face it with calmness, if they are
heroes, refusing to permit it to deter
them from doing their duty.
And it is well to bear in mind that
constant unwarranted criticism and
nagging of those who are serving the
public often suggests crime to the
mad, and that criminals frequently go
to extremes in crime if they think
they have respectable backing or sym
pathy.—Juneau Empire.

According to Governor Riggs,
Alaska is entitled to the flag for the
largest oversubscription to the Vic
tory loan. Connecticut now has the
flag, but the governor has entered a
protest. If we deserve it, let’s by all
means have it.—Douglas News.
