ALASKA ROADS TO GET INCREASE
While $322,000 for Alaska roads is
not nearly as good as the $739,000
nor as good as the $442,000 that was
that was asked for by Major Waugh,
reeommended by the war department,
it is a whole lot better than the $100,
•06 that was first agreed upon by the
military affairs committee of the house
•1 representatives. Major Waugh’s
trip to the national capital, appar
ently, has gained for Alaska some
$222,200, and that was worth the time
and energy required.
The appropriation ought not to be
less than $1,000,000, and it should be
continued at that sum for an indefi
nite term of years. And it would not
tee a hand-out, either, for the federal
government would then be contribut
ing far less in proportion to the prop
erty owned and benefits derived than
tiie other property owners in the terri
tory. However, let us be glad that
we will have the $322,000 this year,
and let us ask for the million next
year—Juneau Empire.
A THEORY ONCE MORE
•rders were issued last night by
the city council to close all places of
public gathering, the picture shows,
dance halls and-other entertainment
heeause of the great number of cases
of what physicians tell us is influenza.
There probably can be no censure
©f the city administration for taking
this action, in view of the attitude and
recommendation of the physicians, to
whose judgment in such matters the
average layman must bow. Such ac
tion may prevent the further spread
of the disease which is so feared gen
erally, and it may help to restore the
public health; but who knows? It is
a theory at best. To this statement
physicians might take exception, yet
it is but about eighteen months ago
that they had us wearing the unsani
tary and ineffectual flu mask, which
is now admitted to be a detriment to
the public health.
Authorities say that when the in
fuenza epidemic was at its worst in
the fall of 1918 the cities which per
mitted their business to go on as
usual had no worse results than those
that throttled their citizens with filthy
gauze gags and closed up tight.
But as the city council can not do
otherwise than as advised by the phy
sicians, whether right or wrong,
Ketchikan is ordered closed up. And
as it is the regulation that it must be
closed, everyone should obey to the
letter, avoiding the public gatherings,
to get whatever benefit there is to be
gained from such an order.
Consideration should be taken by
the city authorities also that there are
several institutions in Ketchikan
which have big investments, that they
have a number of persons depending
upon them for their livelihood, and
that it will be an extreme hardship
for them to remain closed for any
leugth of time. True, that should not
he considered in comparison with the
health of the general public, but care
should be” taken that no greater hard
ship than is necessary should be
heaped upon them. And they should
he permitted to open again as quickly
as conditions will permit.
Despite the spread of the epidemic
•f influenza throughout many parts of
the United States, no city or town
is known to have been closed up tight.
Ketchikan is leading the way, as it
were, for the rest of the country. It
may be right. And it may be wrong.
But certainly the actions of other cit
ies should he taken into considera
te*.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
New Plans of Salvation Army Enlarged
to Meet Every Kind of Trouble
By EVANGELINE BOOTH. Salvation Army
How is the Salvation Army going to spend its $13,000,000? What is
the new peace work that the Salvation Army is about to undertake that re
quires such a relatively large sum to finance it?
We need the $13,000,000 in order that no man, woman or child
requiring help of any kind shall ever be turned from our doors because of
the lack of funds or facilities. Through our rorps, our slum settlements
and our 220 institutions we plan to be able to lend assistance to every type
of person—to any one, anywhere, who happens to require it.
The new plans of the Salvation Army do not differ radically from the
old prewar days, but they are so enlarged and so broadened that they em
brace every phase of philanthropic activity—a relief for every type of
trouble, aid for every manner of want.
Buildings or lots in various parts of the country are being purchased
for an enlargement of existent relief and religious work. In 28 cities new
property has already been purchased, either for corps sites, where all local
religious and relief w'ork will be carried on, or for some much-needed in
stitution. In every city of the United States a survey was made by the
Salvation Army and plans were immediately formulated to fill the most
conspicuous needs.
In this manner the Salvation Army is endeavoring to use its Home
Service Fund to the greatest possible advantage in each community. In
some cases it means merely an enlargement and broadening of the present
scope; but in other instances it means the starting of new activities and the
solving of new' problems, all in order that the endless chain of relief work
w hich -stretches around the world may meet the needs of those who require
out help.
VOIE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Visual education bidis fair to oc
cupy a very definite place in the cur
riculum of many of the larger schools
riculum of many of the larger schools
of the territory. The Anchorage and
Cordova schools recently placed or
ders for DeVry portable projectors.
These projectors are moving picture
machines which handle standard size
films. The parent-teacher associations
organized in Douglas and Juneau have
each appointed committees to considev
ways and means through which it will
be possible to secure moving picture!
machines for the two schools. Other
schools are also giving the matter
consideration.—Alaska School Bulletin.
The North Pole Bakery, at Anchor-j
age, is advertising that it “kneeds j
its dough.” Several editors find them- j
selves in the same fix, with no dough
to knead.—Valdez Miner.
1 he Chronicle, edited, managed, and
presumably controlled by a heretofore
staunch Democrat, has dested the ship
of Demqcracy Democratic leaders ev
erywhere are beginning to see the
handwriting on the wall and the con
cession of defeat at the polls, coming
from the Chronicle, proves conclu
sively that the Democrats have lost
heart and are beginning to realize that
their race is run. We believe that
national affairs have always been
more efficiently conducted under a Re
publican administration, and it is cer
tain that greater national prosperity
has always attended when the Repub
licans held the reins of government.—
Ketchikan Times.
Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., has
asked congress to establish a con
stabulary in Alaska. It would be pat
terned after the Texas Rangers and
other similar organizations. In place
of the dashing steeds that we picture
the Texas Rangers having, the Alas
kan Rangers would, we suppose, op
erate from the deck of a speed boat.—
Douglas News.
Thinking of the poor Armenians is
one way of .making the high cost of
living bearable.
Sugar profiteers convicted wili be
sent to prison, which for the consumer
is sweet revenge.
“Red” literature makes the old-time
dime novel look like exceedingly in
nocent amusement.
Lack of fuel has brought dancing
to a close in Paris. Those who dance
must pay the coal man.
If Holland can sell shoes for $6 a
pair she ought to be able to build up
an enormous export trade.
It Is useless to think of dying to es
cape the vexations of life—the em
balmers have begun to strike!
The people will suffer from blue
laws as long as they are content to
bear them on the statute books.
German money is now the easy mark
to get, if you have something that is
worth anything at all to offer for it.
With booze gone it begins to look
as though castor oil will have no
competition as the national drink.
We now have a fair price court, a
fair price directory and a fair price
for sugar, but we haven’t any sugar.
Now a dental union Is threatening
to strike. It is getting high time with
this threat for the public to show its
teeth. _ -.Me*
