LET’S HOPE THEY SUCCEED
Many Valdez citizens are urging At
torney A. J. Dimond to go before the
Democratic primaries as a candidate
for territorial representative. Mr. Di
mond has been a citizen of Alaska for
many years. He has never asked for
any office at the hands of the people.
He has served the city several terms
as councilman and mayor, and has
made one of the best officials the city
has ever had. If Valdez can induce
him to represent the city in the com
ing legislature our interests will be
well guarded.—Valdez Miner.
It is very much to be desired that
the people of Valdez succeed in in
ducing Mr. Dimond to become a can
didate for the legislature. Mr. Dimond
is one of the able lawyers of Alaska,
an earnest, energetic and thoroughly
honest citizen, who is devoted to the
cause of the North. The services of
such a man in the legislature would
he of inestimable value.
It is because of the lack of men of
the ability and energy of Mr. Dimond
in the state and territorial legisla
tures that local self-government in
the United States has been giving way
to a process of centralization of all
authority in the federal government
at Washington. If the states and ter
ritories would send more of such men
to their legislatures there would be
more responsible government in the
1X3,
laud and more progress. There is no
man in the territory of Alaska that is
too big to go to the territorial legisla
ture. Let us hope the people of Valdez
and the Third division will set an ex
ample to the rest of the territory by
•ending Mr. Dimond here to represent
them in the next session of the terri
torial lawmakers.—Juneau Empire.
The profiteer gets a rise in rages
from the consumer, anyhow.
Sugar is not worth 20 cents a poond
unless it can’t be had cheaper.

What is needed is a dollar that will
go farther and develop less speed.
j-.iiere are two degrees or crime in
profiteering—petit larceny and grand
larceny.
Theory still says there is plenty of
sugar, but the sugar bowl proves the
ory a liar.
Decorative art is admirable, except
when girls practice it on their own
pretty face.
With silver dollars worth $1.05 as
bullion we may not get many of them
as change.
There may be a shortage of coal,
but just look at our abundance of
presidential timber!
Cigarettes have gone up in price
again, despite, the *act that the hay
market remains firm.

The jazz has invaded England, al
though late reports intimate it is tot
to the queen’s taste.
At any rate some uplifters can
point with pride to the prices that
have been uplifted.
The trouble with D’Annunzio’s ac
tivities is that they may be taken as
a precedent by other poets.
Ready-to-wear clothing abounds, but
ready-to-pay money is still a little
coy about appearing in public.
Now is Mexico’s opportunity to be
come the richest nation on earth. It
has silver mines all over the lot.
Uncle Sam’s threats against prof
iteers are too often received by those
offenders as a harmless pleasantry.

None of those German statesmen are
sorry for anything connected with the
U-boat campaign except that it failed.
The Columbia professor who says a
family of five can eat on $11.99 a week
has never lived in this little old town.

Many a nervous householder would
now find the rattling of coal down the
chute to the bin as soothing as a sym
phony.
The prevalent mania for extrava
gance demonstrates the ease with
which a fool and his money part com
pany.
The army mule will be looked on
with more respect these days as being
the only object left that is allowed to
have a kick.
Sing Sing prisoners burned up their
workshops. This should entitle them
to a special joint tribute to Trotzky
and Lenine.
A Canadian legislator is opposed to
feathers on women’s hats. It sounds
as if his wife’s milliner has intro
duced a bill. ,
Even an underpaid consular em
ployee ought not to be t,he sort that
would permft himself to be captured
by Mexican bandits.
With a big drop in corn acreage
predicted for next year, the farmer
who plants all the corn he can will
probably not lose much.
Gold pieces have been found in bars
of English soap. It may be that some
such expectancy can account for the
prices asked in this country.
Another consolation in doing with
out is that the person who denies him
self saves more money now than he
would if prices were normal.
Girls inclined to be particular should
remember that 5,000 British women
are scheduled to come to this country
next year in search of husbands.
British mothers-in-law are forbidden
by law to visit “the children” more
than a month at a stretch. This is fla
grant denial of self-determination.
Itisaeostof living, it might be said,
under which it is the easiest thing in

Tailors say the reason prices are
high is that pocket-makers, for in
stance, are getting $70 a week. What,
for instance, is the good of a pocket?
Japan is said to be giving Swiss offi
cers a big bonus to join her army.
Switzerland might reciprocate and give
Japanese officers a bonus to serve in
her navy.
Fluctuations in the stock, market
may interest a few speculatively in
clined persons, but the thing we are
interested in is the fluctuation of sugar
prices in the first page headlines.
The influx of wolves into Manitoba
is interpreted by the trappers as a fore
cast of an excessively severe winter.
But we prefer to pin our faith to the
Peats of New York state, who are
said to predict a mild one.
