HID NO PEER IS
H
t
A gentleman by the name of L. C
Wilkes, rertainly dumped a bucketful!
of ice water down the back of thal
"good oldtimer" who was trying tc
explain something he knows nothing
about. To couple the name of Henej
as a railroad builder with that of
Mears is like mixing velvet with devil
clubs. Heney had ability, knowledge
and good sense. He treated the men
.ns men should be treated; he had their
confidence, and one could rely on
the other when their word was given.
Quite a difference between the
two men. when the one welcomes a
suggestion from the most humble em
ploye, while the other spurns and
shuns him as being so inferior in
knowledge that he would call one of
his watchmen and have him arrested
for insulting a "gentleman" if such a
suggestion were made. There is a
great difference between brains and
bluster and building and bungling, and
for the benefit of the men engaged in
the construction of this government
enterprise, especially the property
owners and merchants of Anchorage,
that they catch this man and steer
him from the nutty road to ruin and
start him on the broad, commonsensc
trail of equality and human justice.
And while in the uplift work, remind
him in his own words, “There is no
thing easy in this railroad work up
here, and therefore no easy jobs," so
four bits per hour should he the wage
for Americans and 0 per hour for
the ones who think America is only a
place to getta de mon. — Anchorage

LOTTERY TICKETS
RESULTS JAIL
I
SAN JUAN, Jnn. 20. — For the first
time in the history of Porto Rico a
man is serving n jail sentence for
violating the law prohibiting the Im
portation and sale of lottery tickets.
Manuel Gerecedo, whose sentence of
| two years imprisonment and a fine or
$10,000, was recently upheld by the
supreme court of the United States,
has surrendered himself and Is now
in prison.
Gerecedo was found to be the Porto
Rico representative of the Padre Bil
line Lottery of Santo Domingo, and at
the time of his arrest two years ago
was charged with disposing of 10,000
lottery tickets every week. Govern
ment officials estimated that he was
clearing at the rate of $9,000 a month,
and that the island was spending more
than a million and a half dollars a
year on lottery tickets.
