PULL TOGETHER.
“It is certain,” said Colonel E.
Lester Jones recently at Ketchikan,
upon his return to Alaska from
service in the army, “that there is
something the matter in the North.
Any country which goes back in
its population has something the
matter with it. The Government
must find out what that is and give
its aid in remedying conditions.
“One thing I can say certainly,
that the people of Alaska must pull
together more, and not each man in
a different direction. It is the thou
sands of different views, all written
or telegraphed to Washington from
Alaska, that leave Congress and of
ficials generally in a maze as to
what is needed in the North.”
Colonel Jones thinks that the visit
of the members of the cabinet to
Alaska will have a splendid effect,
giving them the opportunity to study
affairs first hand. In fact, that is
a fetich with him. that matters such
as the Alaskan problems should be,
studied first hand by all heads of
departments having them in charge.
Colonel Jones is director of the;
United States coast and geodetic
survey and is back in Alaska for
the first time since the United States
entered the war.
“A function as complete in its
conception and execution as one
might hope to find in a metropolitan
city; it was inspiring and reflected
the quality and verve of the people
of Anchorage, the superior of which
is not to be found anywhere.”
These were the words of Secre
tary Daniels, seconded by Secre
tary Payne, following the splendid
banquet tendered the visitors recent
ly by the people of Anchorage.
“We desire to express through
the Times our appreciation for it
all,” continued Secretary Daniels.
“Ours was a business visit, not one
for social enjoyment, hence we have
been compelled to rush through, giv
ing every spare moment to the in
terests of the people of Alaska.
But, despite our fatigue and the
tax it placed upon our physical
powers, we were happy to have
been thus honored by such a splen
did citizenry. One need not fear
for the future of Anchorage when
its progress is guided by men pos
sessed of such optimism, intelligence
and determination. It reflected the
Alaska spirit we have' heard so
much about and now have had the
honor to enjoy. There is nothing
like it anywhere. It is one big
brotherhood.”
UNITY OF PURPOSE.
r -
General John J. Pershing, urging
revival of the unity of purpose and
co-operation of communities during
war times to eliminate the danger
ous radical element in the country
and to extirpate revolutionary and
seditious tendencies, said at a meet
ing of the Civic Forum in Car
negie hall, New York: “Peace is
not yet established and a general
feeling of unrest and distrust pre
vails. The high cost of living gives
increasing general conern. Even
tile education of our youth is being
neglected. There is a lack of inter
| est in the nation’s affairs. The in
dividual has forgotten his obligation
and talks of his rights. All these
furnish the background for revolu- j
tionary agitation, which stands be
fore us today as a serious interna
tional menace. Our present duty !s !
to revive that same patriotism which i
inspired us during the recent crisis. I
i
A community campaign supported !
by every patriotic citizen, in which !
all elements meet and understand!
each other, will be necessary to re-1
store contentment and happiness to j
our people. Nor should we forget j
that our influence internationally de
pends primarily upon our own
strength.”
ALASKA INSANE.
A total of 846 patients, legally
adjudged insane, of the Territory j
of Alaska, have been committed to '
Morningside sanitarium, at Portland, i
Oregon, according to the annual re- j
port of that institution. The admis- j
sion of these patients covers a j
period of 1614 years, ended June j
SO, 1920.
Of the total number admitted,
45.9 percent have been discharged
as recovered and improved. The
recoveries for the fiscal year ended
June 30 show a higher percentage,
totaling 59.6 percent of those re
ceived during the same period. The
total number leaving the sanitarium
is placed at 423. There are at
present receiving treatment 206 per
sons. Two hundred and seventeen
have died in th’e institution.
A total of 52 patients were re
ceived during the past fiscal year.
There were discharged during this
same period 31, while 18 deaths are
reported. A gain of three is shown j
in the number of Alaskan patients |
at the hospital during the year. Of
the 206 patients now at Morning
side, 175 are men and 31 are
women.

JAPANESE STRIKERS
CUT ISLAND REVENUE
—
! HONLULTJ, T. II.—The strike of
Japanese plantation laborers, which
Ibegan the first of February last, is
affecting the city and territorial tax
receipts, according to City Treasurer
Conkling. Thousands of idle plan
tation workers are defaulting on
I their poll taxes, said Conkling. Of
the $5 poll tax the city gets $3
and the territory $2.
! BURGLAR SENTENCED TO
FOUR YEARS IN PRISON
Louis Perez, who pleaded guilty
to robbing the American cigar store
| and the H. S. Graves clothing store
I in Juneau, was sentenced to serve
l four years in the penitentiary for
leach crime, the sentences to run
•concurrently.
Perez and confederates loaded the
safe of the American cigar store
on a sled and dragged it through
the snow on the Juneau streets last
winter. They also took money from
the cash register.
HYDER MEN ARE HELD
ON KIDNAPING CHARGE
As a result of the tarring and
feathering of Jack Sutherland at
Hyder recently, Jack O’Connor, A.
McLcman and Oren F. Hill were
bound over for trial by United
States Commissioner Reed at a pre
liminary hearing held shortly after
the occurrence. O’Connor and Mc
Lcman are officials of the order of
Pioneers of Alaska, and Hill is a
local druggist. The men are charg
ed with kidnaping, it being alleged
that, after Sutherland was decorat
ed, they forcibly took him across
the international boundary line.
Sutherland is none the worse for
his experience, his clothing not hav
ing been removed. Officers of the
Pioneers desire that it be made
plain that the act was not com
mitted by that body as an organ
ization.
