NO HERO WORSHIP ABOUT IT.
Enemies ot Delegate Wiekersham say that his followers
th<‘ victims of hero worship, who have set Wick up as sort of
littl image who can tin no wrong. This argument gives rise to
an interesting discussion, for if it is true that the old timers in
th ■ hill-' do look up to the delegate as a sort if ideal or hero, it
is a unique condition.
Ah: -kans for the most part are the direct opposite of hero
worshipper'^. Anyone doubting this can he convinced by enter
in • into any "around the stove” conversation as a listener and
In .ir 11" d timers tear “men of the hour” to pieces and point
out their weak spots.
A! kniis look upon popular idols without envy and they
in blinded l>v the cheering multitudes. To the pioneer
i, worth just so much. His ability to accumulate
,i.i a at the expense of others counts against rather than for
him. Hi ability as an organizer and leader of men counts in
favor only w hen the organization and leadership is a bene
fit to 1 hose w ho are organized and led.
Taken by these standards many popular heroes fail to
'! c! up alongside the man who plays the game square.
’■ it Alaskans differ in their ideals .just as other people,
mu' mu.ons old timers are against the delegate. They point
o it nil' and declare them to outweigh his good points,
but 11:« ioi ity continue to view the matter in the other light.

majority of ALiskam to reluni the delegate to congress. —

WE MUST HAVE AMERICAN SHIPS.
I i ri, in citizens realize the importance of the United
Si.it- - Ieij11!)11>j its own niesehant ships. The strongest reason
i V, lopnieiit of home shipbuilding is because mereliant
an ane-sential part of the national defense. We have
notice of tli<' fact that today ever 2,000 British and'
built for and previously used for commercial
i engaged iii performing military and naval service
:11 iile allies, to realize the essential national defense
in't rn in. 111 a!i! \ of merchant ships. I .aching a merchant marine
of imr ow e. iua gn at war we would he fatally handicapped, our
national <• isteuce might he imperilled, because of the lack of
men ,■;nt si p I herefore wo should be as firm in our deter

ya r< I s*
\ . we i:a\ ■ our mereliant ships built abroad we streng
then ti* n a a I and military armament of our commercial rivals
in tine of pi at ", our possible enemies in time of war. Vice
wr-n, to Mi- extent that we imperil our home ship building, to
putt cxtmi' we-disarm ourselves. If w<* destroy our home ship
liuihnii . w iileli the recently enacted tree trade* shipping hill
will .ieromplish, wo denude ourselves of tile basic means of tie
fend in" o it — i Ives; of providing ourselves, from within our
v. ith tho-o essential instruments of national defense.
We mu ' h i\ o a plenty of prosperous American shipyards, with
tie r skilUd ami experienced workmen, ready and able to
hn d all of the lie reliant -hips this nation requires, in order to
he truly independent.
It i t .111:111necessary that the ships flying our flag should
1.. . w liollv owned by American citizens, commanded', officered
ninl manned 1>\ Amt rieau citizens, so that the ships and their
tommamlei s, officers a.ml seamen will lie at the nation’s call in
the o \ ei' present t mm geiicv of war. This is necessary, because
the sliip- anti tlc-ir men are necessary for the national defense.
Ai ,t i 1. si I\ this is not a matter that concerns shipbuilders
alone, or ship ow ners and ship builders jointly. It is a matter
, I ital moment to the nation. All of the people, therefore, are
w , st ei I in a homo built, home-owned American merchant inn
