HON SILAS BUNK & CO
_
A novel moving picture campaign stunt is being pulled off
in \\ ashington which will have its sequel later in the campaign.
That this is the age of progress in devices to attract the
favorable attention of the voters is proved bv this scheme,
which is as clever as it is original.
The aim sought to be achieved is to impress upon the elec
tors back in the Whippoorwill district that their member of
congress stands mighty high at the national capital; that he is
cheek by jowl with Speaker Clark and that Claude Kitchin,
the Democratic leader, runs to him every few minutes for ad
vice.
To carry out this idea moving pictures are taken of Con
gressman Bunk as lie hobnobs with Speaker Clark and Leader
Kitchin. Congressman Bunk, with a portfolio under his arm
and looking like a real statesman, calls on the speaker, holds a i
conference with him and' apparently gives the speaker some
valuable tips on bow to run the government. In the next scene
Mr. Bunk and the speaker leave the capital together and walk
across the lawn and depart side by side on the hind seat of an
automobile.
When these reels are reproduced in the Whippoorwill dis
itlirimr til.. enmiciln'l) t line im <Lnld «I ill oi>o '
ate a sensation, and Mr. Bunk's constituents will remark:
“Well, well! Si Bunk and Champ Clark are thick as two
peas in a pod, ain’t they?”
< >f course, Mr. Bunk will admit it, and even if he didn’t
there will he the incontrovertible moving picture evidence
showing Si and Champ training together like two brothers.
In another room in the capital Claude Kitchin, the Demo
ciatic leader, receives Si Bunk while the moving picture camera
clicks. They sit down together, look over important lulls, talk
earnestly and apparently reach conclusions of great pith and
moment. When this scene is reproduced in the Whippoorwill
district tin* folks will think that Claude Kitchin gets his daily
cue from Si Bunk.
Si’s premiership at Washington is to be shown in a va-I
rietv of ways. Like as not he will lie seen in the moving pic
tales this fall walking down the capital steps with Vice I’resi
dent Marshall and smiling while the vice-president cracks a
joke in his ear. < >r it may lit* that the whiskers that Adorn John
V . Kern, Democratic leader of the senate, will tickle Si’s face
while the leader whispers a rigmarole into his ear.
Free moving picture shows will be all the rage in many dis
Diets after the campaign opens and across Ihe curtain will be
flashed'such introductory sentences as these:
“Congressman Bunk and Speaker Clark hold a conference
on ways and means of procuring pension legislation for the old ,
soldiers.” *
“Congressman Bunk reports to Leader Kitchin that!
noiigli votes have been obtained to pass the rural credits bills, i
Note the pleased expression on both of their faces.”
“Congressman Bunk and Speaker Clark get relief from op j
)in*ssiv«* i)*uisi;mvt‘ i*an*s nv kikiiii* m suon ov«*r mr rapimi i
plaza.”
“Vice President Marshall tells (Mngressman Bunk his lat
est story.”
It is sometimes said that moving pictures don’t lie, hut
they are going to do a tall job of prevaricating when the coming
campaign reaches the white heat stage.
(’olonel B. K. Millard, of Valdez, has shown his faith in the:
mineral resources of the Copper h’iver valley by bonding two
croups of claims in the McKinley lake district, which is trihu !
tarv to Cordova. This gold iptartz property, twenty claims in I
II, is owned by local people, who have already done consider
able development work, and it is gratifying to note that an ex
periem ed mining man, who commands considerable capital, has
every confidence that a large body of pay ore, which assays
from $11.50 to $5.10 per ton, can he mined and put on the market
at a good profit. The Daily Times congratulates Colonel Mil
lard on getting hold of this property and trusts that liis most
anguine hopes will be realized.
The ( ’ordova Chamber of Commerce, smarting under the
failure of the postmaster general’s refusal to dignify that body
with a reply to its protest libs! several months ago against the
incompetency of Inspector Neil and protesting against his re
commendations, which resulted in a curtailment of the clerk
hire allowance for the local office, did not consider it worth
while to again take up the later recommendations of Neil, which
cannot help but greatly interfere with the efficiency of the ser
vice. Alaskans are accustomed to the shabby treatment they
are receiving from Washington, but some day there may be an
awakening, and when it does come patience will cease to he a
virtue.
•-:o:
Valdez has increased its appropriation for the schools toj
$7,000 for the coming term, to insure continuance of the effi
ciency of that hrantih of its government. Money judiciously ex
pended for educational purposes and fire protection is always
a good investment.
-:o:
Cordova is now agitating tin* turning of tlie clocks ahead
in hour, in order to gain this extra time. Nothing slow about
this community, where everybody is employed and the days are
all too short for our thrifty residents.
—-;o:
Fourteen nations are now engaged in the European war,
and it begins to look as though Greece will soon be forced in,
making the fifteenth.
-:o:
The game season opens on September 1, and local hunters
are now busy cleaning their guns for the “big killing” they ex
pect to make in a few days.
-;o:-.———
Cordova may have the richest copper mine and the largest
glacier in the world, but Kodiak wants it understood that she
claims the distinction of having the greatest volcano.

Advertising
Not an Expense ;
ADVERTISING IS AN
INVESTMENT j
Not An Expense, and Should Be Treated as Such.
Because it has been the habit of
some merchants to look upon It as an
expense, A WRONG VIEW HAS
BEEN GAINED. Perhaps the miscon
ception arose from the fact that In
bookkeeping It has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.
ADVERTISING PRODUCES NEW
BUSINESS — It SWELLS THE VOL
UME OF BUSINESS AND PROFIT_
THEREFORE IT IS “AN INVEST
MENT.
Only the man who looks upon ad
vertising as an expense, who is afraid
of It, prejudiced against It, loses
money In advertising.
THE MAN WHO TREATS ADVER
TISING AS AN INVESTMENT AND *
GIVES IT THE ATTENTION AN IN
VESTMENT REQUIRES — KNOWS
THAT EVERY DOLLAR RIGHTLY
INVESTED IN THIS DIRECTION
YIELDS COMPOUND INTEREST —
AND MORE.
