NOT CLASSES, BUT THE PUBLIC
Governor Calvin Coolidge, Republi
can nominee for vice president,
speaks straight from the shoulder
when he says: “There are two
things especially that we in America
want to keep in mind, but not for
the purpose of benefit to any class.
We have talked together too much in
America about classes. The fact is
that we want to keep in mind for
the benefit of the whole public and
if we could legislate and think for
the public benefit, instead of think
ing we are legislating and talking
about class benefits, we should make
(much more progress^ than we are
making at the present time. I
speak of that because I do not want
to be misunderstood. I am speakir
for the public welfare, and when the
public welfare is preserved, then all
the people are happy and prosperous,
and opportunity is full and free. And
when you undertake to legislate for
and benefit any one class to the ex
clusion of another the result is al
ways disastrous to the public, and
instead of securing the end you have
in view you do nothing but bring
disaster and bad results to those who
you are attempting to benefit.
So one of the first things we want
to do for the benefit of the public
is to provide for the security and pro
tection of property, here is no use of
our undertaking to provide for the
acquisition of property through the
payment of wages if, after it has
been acquired, brought together and
collected, it cannot be secured, be
cause you cannot do anything of that
kind—it is an impossibility. And if
property that has been collected is
insecure there you do not find a con
dition that is tolerable; ther you al
ways find a condition of pinching pov
erty and degradation and a dwindling
civilization. That has always been so
in the east; it was so in Russia, and
it will be so anywhere. And if we
desist or depart from our protection
of property that will be exactly the
condition that will overtake this
American nation of ours.
“And the otther thing we need to
remember is the observance of the
law’. That ought to be fundamental,
though I am afraid it is not in all re
spects. It is the only safeguard w’e
have for our rights and for our liber
ties. I say the observance of the law.
If wre could secure that, almost all of
the vexatious questions that face us
at the present time would ?ado away
with tomorrow's sun. So let us
preach, in so far as we can, an ob
servance of the lawr, not for the bene
fit of any supposed class, but again
for the benefit of all the public and
in order that we may bring about
the greatest condition of prosperity
and happines to all our people. And
an observance of the law means a gov
ernment according to the constitution,
not of men, but of laws. It means no
dictation by one man, whatever his
position may be, and it means no dic
tation by a million men, whatever
position they may hold. Ie means
always action under and according to
the constitution. And if we can es
tablish that condition, then we Amer
icans can maintain the authority of
the law, and we can maintain the
freedom of action that comes from it,
and we can carry our nation forward
and ever forward into a better con
dition than ever before existed.”
“THE CABIN IS READY”
Alaska welcomes new women citi
zens but the people in that northern
country prefer that the ladies come
as brides or wives. Possibly there is
some chance for those who go up
north to engage in domestic service,
but the jobs of school teachers, nurses
and stenographers are filled. The
territorial publicity bureau sends out
the following:
“Alaska offers very little in your
respectve lines and the list of those
waiting for positions in both profes
sions is already filled. The late Gro
ver Cleveland once said of office
holders: ‘Few die and none resign.’
This applies to female stenographers
and nurses in Alaska. Practically all
teaching positions for the coming
school year are also filled and those
holding good situations in the states,
or who can secure better employment
there, had better stay where they
are—that is, of course, unless he
writes and says the cabin is ready and
the preacher is at hand. Then—but
that is different from ‘stenoging,’
nursing or teaching.”
There is a touch of old-time ro
mance in the last few lines of the
Alaska Bulletin. “The cabin is
ready.” There is a lot of meaning in
that brief sentence. It recalls the
rough and ready pioneer days when
men and women imbibed the outdoor
spirit and went forth into the woods
fn Vmilrl tVicnr hnmoQ-tn fmiTirl nfiw
communities, new counties and new
commonwealths. The pioneers were
happy and contented because they
worked hard and were thrifty. Their
greatest reward was to see their wild
erness home prosper and their great
est joy to watch their children grow
up 100 per cent Americans. They had
solved their own problems. Crime was
rare because they dealt with it sum
marily. Being close to nature they
had a sublime faith in God. and in
their homes and in their dealings
with one another and with the
world, they sincerely tried to do God’s
will. Their housing problem was
simple—they built the cabin.
What America needs most just now
is more of the pioneer spirit. The
spirit that 300 years ago made pos
sible the settlement of Virginia and
New England; the spirit that 150
years ago was shown in the building
up of western Pennsylvania; the spir
it that 75 years ago in the develop
ment of the golden land of the Paci
fic coast, and the spirit which is ex
emplified by the enterprise of the
sturdy Alaskans of today.
It isn’t necessary to wander off
into Alaska in order to help America
and yourself by doing pioneering.
In Pennsylvania there are tens of
thousands of acres of land awaiting
worthy claimants, and right here in
Alllegheny county there are many
sites to be found for cozy cabin homes
j where the little folks may breath the
l free air, hear the birds sing and
| watch the stars at night,
j Unrest is an abnormal mental atti
tude unknown among the pioneer
home builders. Unrest frequently
comes from too much rest—both phy
sical and mental. Unrest is unknown
among those who labor from sunrise
to sunset in the divine work of es
tablishing a home back in the coun
try.—Pittsburgh Chamber of Com
merce Bulletin.
VOICE OF THE
ALASKA PRESS
Reviews of the Pacific coast trade
for this year indicates that Alaskan
trade for the present fiscal year will
exceed that of last year and that the
trade for 1919-1920 was better than
that of the year previous. As a
whole, the imports and exports of the
Pacific coast are estimated to have de
creased about 10 per cent last year.
Preliminary estimates, however, indi
cate that the Alaskan trade increased
during the same period.—Juneau Em
pire.
In a recent Seattle interview Colonel
James Gordon Steese, newly appointed
president of the Alaskan road commis
sion, lays great stress on the work to
be done on the Fairbanks-Valdez
wagon road. Admitting that this par
ticular thoroughfare serves an import
ant purpose, it must also be admitted
that there are other districts in Alaska
equally as important and practically
devoid of wagon roads. For instance,
there are the Willow creek and Cache
•
creek mining districts, not to mention
the growing Matanuska farming dis
trict.—Anchorage Times.
The failure of Secretaries Daniels
and Payne to include Valdez and other
coast cities in their itinerary is a
great disappointment to Alaskans, who
had hoped that these officials would
visit other parts of the territory than
the coal fields alone. While the time
of these gentlemen was undoubtedly]
limited, a few days’ stay in Alaska
would have given them a better idea
of its importance from a commercial
viewpoint. As it is their ideas of the
territory in general must be more or
less confined to a strip a few hundred
yards wide and ninety miles long.—
Valdez Miner.

CERTIFICATES NEEDED
BY NOTIVE CHILDREN
EMPLOYED IN PLANTS
B. D. Stewart, territorial labor com
nissioner, has received a wire from
Washington advising that the require
nents of the labor law will be suf
ficiently complied with, in the case
af native children working canneries,
if their employers secure the consent
of the child’s parent or guardian and
a certificate from a practicing physi
cian to the effect that the child is well
and that the employment to which it
is to be put will not be injurious to it.
Mr. Stewart and the governor’s of
fice secured this modification at the
solicitation of the natives, who con
sidered that they were being discrim
inated against by not being permitted
to work during the fishng season. At
this season of year the native schools
are not being conducted and the
younger natives will thus be enabled
to earn considerable money.
