ALASKA INVESTORS.
There is always a great deal of
joy in the average Northerner cry
ing “Seattleite” during the politi
cal contests, criticises the Seattle!
Alaska Dispatch. The cry “Seattle-j
ite” evidently originated from the
old Southern cry of “carpetbagger,”
and has been very effective in
Northern political campaigns. But
what a difference, points out the Se
attle critic, when it comes to “Se
attle investors.” Now that the elec
tion is over in Alaska the Northern
papers are before us. In a biff and
bat contest in the primary we find |
among the heaviest political shots
the one “Seattleite.” Incidentally,
in the same issues of the Northern i
papers we find they “point with!
pride” to the introduction of new!
Seattle capital to do this or that. |
In many instances the Alaska!
press is very liberal. In the matter!
of residing at Seattle the average
Alaska editor is very crabby.
AUTONOMY.
l
By rights, says “Stroller” White,
in a recent issue of his Douglas 1
Island News, we should be running
a two-column article w-ritten by ' 1
Thomas B. Drayton, of Seward, |
Alaska, giving 57 reasons why Alas-1
ka should be free from the des
potic rule of the United States.
Mr. Drayton says that the one so
lution of the trials and tribulations
of the Territory is “autonomy."
When we first looked at the word
we thought he meant autopsy. We
knew that Alaska was dead, but
knowing full well what has killed
it, we could not see the reason for
an autopsy. We looked again and
discovered this other word “autono
We took old man Webster on
our knee and ran down this word
and found that it was really in the
dictionary and that it meant self
government. It would seem that
the author of the learned article
submitted to us is in favor of cut
ting loose from our Uncle Sam en
tirely and letting us paddle our
own canoe. He says that Alaska
has been looted by the United
States, and despairing of statehood,
says, let’s be the free and inde
pendent republic of Alaska, by
gosh.
Sounds nice, brother; but you
forget one little thing: Alaskans are
first of all Americans, and although c
they realize that they have been
misused by their old Uncle, with all
his faults they love him still.
Guess we will worry along for a
while yet under the folds of the old
Stars and Stripes; do lots of kicking
and maybe get better conditions, °
and maybe not, but atill manage to h
exist and be just as happy as the °
rest of the world. ^
MAKE ’EM WORK!
tl
During the war, idle persons who
did not find some useful occupation
were sent to the workhouse or
heavily fined. No statute had great
er public favor. In different fash
i:
P
v
ion, points out the Cincinnati En
quirer, is being received the move
ment in certain of the larger cities
tl
a
b
of Ohio to utilize the ancient loiter
ing law against loafers. The police
have been instructed to watch the
labor agencies, and when well-pay
ing positions are turned down to
make inquiry into the status of the
rejecting idlers. In one city the
police judge sent to the workhouse
in one day 12 men who refused to
go to work when offered 60 cents
sn hour. The same thing took
place in another large center of
population.
I
i
This has caused a protest to be
made by organized labor councils, I
"ho affect to see in this, as they!
see in a good many other events,;
in attempt “to impose slavery upon
American citizens.” Their main ob
jection seems to be against com- j
selling men to work at the price!
lamed, which is not the point at all.
The truth is that the offenders
rill not work at any scale so long
is they can sponge off their rela- j
lives or society. There is just as!
nuch need now for the maximum |
►reduction of the country as there ;
vas during the carrying on of hos- j
lilities, and there is no room for the 1
leliberate shirker these busy days.
JNION FISH COMPANY
OPENS NEW RADIO PLANT
A radio station for the use of the
teneral pubiic has just been opened
t Pirate Cove, Alaska, by the Un
on Fish company. Through the es- 1
ablishment of this station, local i
onnection is made possible with i
he neighboring communities, Unga 1
nd Sand Point.
According to a message sent out
iy the Union Fish company, the :
adio station at Pirate Cove is open
o the general public. Messages will :
e accepted without restriction for! -
inga and Sand Point, provided they ,
re addressed via Pirate Cove.
The establishment of this service!
dll afford merchants at these points
n opportunity of ordering neces-1
sry supplies by wireless instead of
y letter, and so avoid weeks of de-'
iy before the order is even deliv- j
red to the Seattle dealer.
A radio station has been oper- ■
ted for some time at Unga by the j
laska Codfish company, but the lat-;
?r has withheld the use of its ra-'.
io service from all business which I
ireatened to be competitive.
