AMONG THE ALASKAN EXCHANGES.
Ed. RussePs paper, the Juneau Dispatch, appears in a
spick and span new head dress—would you call it a bonnet?—
anti looks as classy as Edward himself.—Douglas Island News.
From an editorial in the Tditarod Pioneer it would seem
that Prosecuting Attorney Roth has some things to say about
Marshal Erwin and the conduct of his office. Some people
would be unkind enough to remark the “When rogues fall out
just men get their dues.”
Governor Strong attended a wedding at Anchorage on his
famous swing around the territory in company with the crowd
of tourists, and' gave the bride away. The Governor admitted
having become acquainted with the lady on the boat, so we are
at a loss to know what he had on her.—Fairbanks Citizen.
Let your light so shine that when your summons comes to
join that innumerable caravan, you may put a $80 parka over
head and thank God that you have lived to see the price flour
get back somewhere within reach. Pancakes have been get
ting so small over at Anchorage that the old prospectors take
gold pans to breakfast and pan for them.—Valdez Prospector.
The naming of Brooks City for the Tolovana camp in
honor of Dr. Alfred Brooks is timely. Were Dr. BrOoks to run
for office in Alaska he would secure an overwhelming vote. He
is one federal official who has absolutely refused to play poli
tics and who stood up for Alaskans in the face of political con
servation that would have lost him his job had he been less
directly honest and fearless.—Juneau Dispatch.
W illiam Henry Robinson, the patriarch of Valdez, and
known to nearly every resident of Valdez as “Dad,” lias been
granted th pension of $10 per month from the government
under the law passed by the Territorial legislature at its last
session. The pension law is one measure of which the mem
hers of the second legislature may well feel proud', as few per
w sons will begrudge the aged pioneers who have spent many
years helping to develop the country, and now ti nt theyr art
nearing the end of their journey through life, find that they
have failed to prepare for their declining year.-' --Valdes
Miner.
Mr. Menrs knows, and we all know, that whether the phy ‘•i
cal labor of building the railroad can be performed withoul
sourdoughs or not, the railroad could never have become an
accomplished’ fact without the early efforts of the men who
made Alaska what it is.
It may be that we Alaskans are too prone to boast of what
we have done and that our pride has had the usual effect of
creating an opposition in the hearts of those who have come
later. Alaskans are admittedly proud of the territory forged
by their hands but they welcome with open arms the increasing
population and ask the newcomers to become part of them
maintain their standard of living and be as broad as Alaskan?
themselves. That is all we ask and there is nothing in thal
to hurt the feelings of anyone worthy of citizenship of the
territory.—Seward’ Gateway'.
-:o:
The best insurance against delay' in the completion of tin
government railroad, in our opinion, is loyalty' to the adminis
tration which has made tin- railroad possible. By that we do
not mean to infer that Alaskans declare allegiance to the Demo
cratic party to make certain of continued fair treatment at tin
hands of the present administration. The president undoubt
edly would’ be gratified to learn that his party had been
strengthened in the territory as the result of the steps he has
taken to better conditions in the North, but he is too big a man
to let politicos play a part in the constructive policy which he
has outlined for Alaska. All that he expects of Alaskans is
co-operation in the work he has undertaken. He is dealing
with us as Northerners, residing in a part of the United States
which is hampered by lack of opportunity for development; he
is trying to help all us, regardless of party affiliations, and it
is our common duty, as Alaskans, to give him honest support
in return.—Fairbanks Times.
There has been much news during the past week, news not
tit to print. In most cases everybody knows about it, because
bad news travels fast. Just the same, some of the things
which men and’ women whisper to each other would not look
good in black ink on white paper. Newspapers as well as indi
viduals should remember to keep still if they have nothing good
to tell. The papers follow this rule generally better than do
the individuals. If newspapers published every bit of scandal
that comes to the ears of the editors, the jails would be full—
of printers, serving time for criminal libel. Editors soon learn
that tht‘ most of the things told them are lies, and the rest are
almost as bad. The News is always ready to print the things
that are good’and true, and that in their telling will make peo
ple better and happier, and we invite our friends to tell us the
good things that come to their lives. But those things that are
rotten and nasty and tend only to drag folks into dirt we have
no use for. Just clean, white paper looks better.—Douglas
News.
