THE PASSING OF HERRON
Two things stand out prominently
in the results of the primary elec
tions—that the spirit of fair dealing
stills lives in the north and that it
behooves any candidate for office to
pursue clean methods if he hopes to
receive the support of real Alaskans.
Charles E. Herron was defeated for
national committeeman—not as he
probably will claim, because a lot of
Democrats went into the Republican
primaries, but—because of the libel
ous and positively unwarranted at
tacks on men of standing, persons
whose career will stand well the
scorching blaze of „ any political
searchlight. As maintained by the
Chronicle ■ prior to election the Her
ron campaign was a personal one,
. conceived by himself for selfish
motives. And during that campaign
be or his henchmen did not hesitate
to attempt to besmirch the charac
ters of many honorable men of
Alaska—in fact anyone who had the
temerity to oppose him. Had he
been elected national committeeman,
it would have been a rule of force
and coercion. Tweed, in his grave,
would have smiled to have such a
worthy disciple, and Murphy of Tam
many would have been jealous.
Herron’s campaign is now a matter
•f history, and it is needless to dwell
■pon it, but the future may be con
sidered. It is impossible for the Her
ron machine, including his news
papers, to turn over, to boost the
candidates whom they have attacked
bo viciously. Nor would it be con
sistent to expect that they could work
in harmony with the men whom they
have attempted to picture as every
thing despicable.
In a wrord, Herron has done every
thing in his power to wreck the Repub
lican organization for his own aggran
dizement, and he is now entitled to re
ceive from that party nothing—ex
cept to be ignored.—Ke,. hikan Chron
icle.
FINDING THE MIDDLE GROUND
It does not seem that congress
should experience a great degree of
difficulty in working out the immi
gration problem that now confronts
the nation.
Reports from Washington state that
there are two rival groups seeking to
influence congressional action on this
subject. One would lift all restrictions
and admit whomsoever seeks admis
sion. The ostensible basis for that
plea is the ' shortage of labor in the
United States. The other group is
equally insistent that all immigration
be stopped until such time as the coun
try has assimilated its present foreign
born population and made citizens of
them.
In a way both contentions are right.
That is, there is a degree of merit in
both claims. However, neither is
wholly correct. It is true „ that we
need more labor and that our only
source of obtaining it is from immigra
tion. It also is true that American
ization work is generally muddled. We
already have too many undesirable
residents who have not the remotest
idea of becoming citizens. There are
a great many others who would be
som e citizens if they had the oppor
tunity and the proper encouragement.
There should be a middle ground be
twewen these two extremes. Some
method should be found whereby it
Will be possible to admit desirable
aliens while at the same time exclud
ing those who are regarded as unde
sirable. That should not be an im
possible task. Let us protect our coun
try from the scum of Europe and Asia,
but let us do it in a sensible, prac
ticable manner.
FOR THIS WE PAY TAXES!
I _^_
Inasmuch as the federal government
apparently has more print paper than
it knows how to use and more persons
] on its payroll than it can otherwise
) employ, the department of agriculture
i has just issued a “bulletin” covering
thirty-two pages on “^election and
Care of Clothing.”
Among the illuminating excerpts
taken from the bulletin we find that
“clothing should always be comfort
able and healthful; it must protect the
body from cold, heat, moisture, rough
surfaces, according to need,” also that
it “should be in harmony with or im
prove the lines of the figure.”
Turning over a page of the buleltin,
. we learn that “generally, little can be
done to undergarments except to patch
or darn worn places, to sew on but
tons, or perhaps to rework frayed but
tonholes.” And that valuable advice
is followed by the even more practical
suggestion that “women’s dresses may
often be freshened and made to look
new simply by cleansing,” etc., and
“men’s hats may be freshened by re
blocking and renewing the ribbon.”
Space will not permit a quotation
from every page of the bulletin. Ham
pered by lack of paper, we feel im
pelled to skip a few pages to present
the following admonition deemed by
the department essential to our pros
perity and happiness:
“Socks and stockings may be of cot
I i_ __ i _ - *n _i . i._i j i_l__
tun, w uux ui ann., aim oimuiu uc 1x7x15
enough not to cramp the toes.”
This is all very wonderful and highly
informative. No doubt it will be read
with avid interest by everyone. It is
a trifle disappointing, however, that
the department’s high-priced experts
do not go on and tell us when to “put
’em on” in the fall and when to “take
’em off” in the spring, when to allow
the kids to go barefoot, what to do
with collars whose edges have become
frayed, how to darn holes in socks
and a lot of other vital information
that no housewife, of course, knows.
All of these important secrets repose
in the recesses of the agricultural de
partment. On behalf of our readers
we thank the new secretary of agri
culture, Mr. Meredith, for unlocking
the doors to so many of these tremen
dously important secrets. Perhaps in
his next effusion we shall be favored
with this other data.
And that is how a part of the tax
payer’s money is being used!
George Creel has asked Attorney
General Palmer “what protection, if
any, a citizen has against the delib
erate slanders of a member of con
gress.” George is the boy who issued
the bulletin about congress being
“slum-hearted.” Like most mudsling
ers, his yelps at the come-back are
piercing.
