SATURDAY. JANUARY 11, l'JlJ
BOOSTERS VS. KNOCKERS
The greatest example of what boost
ing can do is now before the world.
That which a great portion of the
world said was impossible1 has hap
pened. -The nation of peaceful mer
chants and boosters has made a light
nlng change which surpassed all ex 1
pectutions and even the wildest
dreams of those who had knowledge
of its tremendous resources. The* in
domitable spirit of A mete ,n optim
ism which wrought this wonderful
change, coupled with the. spirit of a ;
few of the allied leaders, has lx*:itc»n
the carefully laid plans of the l’rus
sian militarism. This marvelous i
< nge which left the world gasping
with wonder at such an exhibition of
power and. at the same time thank
ing the:: lucky stars that it was di
rected at tlte Huns and not at them
sehos. ha,s not been accomplished :
without encountering obstacles. The
I S. had the resources and those who
knew c.:ill tHut they could he placed
m till- held against the Hun and
claimed that the tide of battle would
he changed by the Americans. The
pessimist got in Ins word against!
these optimists. He knocked any ami
everything which would further the j
cause of tlte allies and the Americans,
and especially knocked any move
v kirh would take out of his pocket a
little money or deprive him of a few
ot his pleasures Finsimist got in his
vork against these optimists, which
said the Him could he beaten and
world democracy established would
no! stand ter it longer anl labeled it
pro-tienunniKin of the worst type. The i
ult.matum ot "tail in line or he put,
net of tile way" was delivered. With
a united in.in the greatest industrial
nation ot the world turned its tre
mendous resources to war channels
and to the surprise of the Hun, who
had done his best to further that
spirit of pessimism and knocking, the
American swung into line with the
shattered forces of tho allies and
crushed the Hun without doing much
more than awaken its people to tho
danger which threatened. The world
stends today thoroughly convinced
of the American's ability to back his
boast and come through with the
"goods.''
Today Alaska is in a position sim
ilar to that in which the. II. S. found
itself when war was declared on the
Hun. Alaska has obstacles to over
come before it can get at Its tremend
ous resources of mineral and other
wealth wilh which to supply the ever
increaHlng demand of American in
dustries and incidentaly take its place
us an all important part of the great
est nation of the world just as that
nation has become a necesary factor
in the world.
As in the f. S. so in Alaska there
is evidence on every hand of an all
prevading spirit of optimism which Is
competent to respond to the demand
of the tremendous hustle and hurry
of the Twentieth Century American
Industry The comparison holds good
with respect to the knocker for. In
some few instances. Alaska is face to
face with the knocker—an obstacle in
the path of industrial development
and Incompetent to develop that
which it is in himself. Wo may well
wonder what is the matter with such
people. Surely, it is not an American
spirit. Can it he that they are of
the foreign element not yet through
the melting pot or are they some of
these rare ones who come under the
same category as criminals, danger
ous exceptions in (lie human race?
Some would pride themselves on
their conservation and would come in
to reap the benefits as the neutrals of
Europe are attempting to do now.
Such conservatism is foreign to Am
erica. Let such people think for an
instant of the awful price that Eng
land paid in the lives of thousands
if brave men while their conservative
iristocracy was whipped Into shape by
such men as Lloyd C.eorge. Time cost
iheni money as well as lives and, in a
limilar way, will cost the people of
\laska money for, while they delay,
mine one else will beat them to the
money. Such a spirit is of the dead
iges and it falling hack before the
disc business attitude of the present
when the demand is to think quick,
make your decision and act
The development of Alaska is not
irider military rules, so that lie ultl
liatiun canot he delivered as it was
oy the IT. S. government in weeding
>ut the evil which had been such a
letriinent to the allied nation, but the
■piril of the community can brand tile
mockers. Alaska is a live country
ilimit to come into Its own and Iris
10 place for the knocker. Tile iiidus
rial welfare oi the E S demands
hut llm countiv be developed and
lint ii he done quickly. All obtsaclcs
nils! he return•'<!. As the pessimist
toes about on his errands of anti
Vinericanism, knocking and knocking (
Imt lie may satisfy his own personal !
,: nity, let him lake u second thought j
mil either keep still or get out ot -
Uaska. carrying Ills personal feelings
viih him to the extent of never ad j
nilting that he made the mistake of i
coming here. Let him get to that
"better" place just as fast as he can.
The country has been bled by such
fools long enough and they aro not a
part of It and consequently should
have no word in its futre.—Fairbanks
Citizen.
