VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Valdez has several empty dwelling
houses which should either be repaired
or torn down. Such buildings are un
sightly and can not be used until they
are repaired and fixed up; so let’s get
busy before the rush for dwellings
comes.—Valdez Miner.
It might be well for the people of
Alaska to begin to discuss statehood
for the territory. With two senators
and several representatives in con
gress, Alaska would get more consid
eration from the legislative body of
the nation.—Anchorage Times.
From reports it would seem that the
Alaska strawberry is about to ripen.
This berry is the queen of them all.
It need not be ashamed of itself in any
company. It ripens in perpetual day
light and is so sweet and tender that
a taste of one creates an appetite for
many more.—Douglas News.
The Wrangell school board an
nounces that on October 1 a school
for citizenship will be opened at the
public school building, for the purpose
of training in citizenship. Before this
can be free and entitled to territorial
money for support there must be at
least fifteen applications from those
who wish to take advantage of it.—
■Wrangell Sentinel.
Information coming from an un
questionable source to the Chronicle
is that the American Smelting and
Refining Company has sent represen
tatives to the Portland canal country
to investigate properties there, and
possibly to pass upon the advisability
of building a smelter in Alaska.—
Ketchikan Times.
It is rumored on the streets today
that one of our local federal officials
Is soon to be relieved. The man
whose name is mentioned as his suc
cessor, is known to be of high moral
character and unquestionable integ
rity. The rumor further states that
this political pruning may not stop
with one branch, but that others may
follow. “The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceedingly
fine.”—Ketchikan Chronicle.
Secretary Lane has the wrong idea
about the Alaskan engineering com
mission. Why have three members
on the commission? Just put one
broad-minded railroad man on the
commission and make him the power,
tell him to build the railroad from
Seward to Fairbanks, and if he does
not, discharge him for inefficiency.
Too many cooks spoil the boil dinner
—Alaskans in this part of the terri
tory have had enough of commissions,
and besides, these commissions eat
up too much of the appropriation. Sec
retary Lane would do well to act upon
the suggestion of J. L. McPherson and
Representative Albert Johnson, and rd$
organize the, commission and secure
one competent head to complete the
railroad.—Seward Gateway.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1919.
SENATE COMBATS REDS
The United States has awakened to
the need of laws to curb the forces
of anarchy and violence.
The Senate Judiciary Sub-Commit
tee has made a report regarding radi
calism, lawlessness and violence in
America and Bolshevism as exempli
fied by Soviet rule in Russia.
Bolshevism was excoriated in the
report as a “dictatorship of class” and
a “direct challenge” to Christianity
and civilization; a tyranny of auto
cracy. In America, the committee
declared, it is “a slogan of the ele
ments of unrest and discontent.”
What the committee characterized
as “parlor Bolsheviki” are also aiding
the propaganda, while “well-meaning
persons have been deceived” into ad
vacacy of Bolshevism in this country.
“In co-operation with the revolu
tionary elements,” the report contin
ued, “destruction of existing social
and governmental institutions by vio
lent methods is being promoted.”
, “More reprehensible than the alien
element,” are the naturalized Ameri
cans in the movement.
Recommendations by the sub-com
mittee for legislation included, con
trol “forces of anarchy and violence”
and adequately protect our national
sovereignty and our established insti
tutions.”
Strict regulation of the manufac
ture, distribution and possession of
high explosives.
Regulation of “mushroom organiza
tions” and special interests which
propagate “notions of government,
sociology, benevolence or what not.”
Control and regulation of foreign
language publications.
