TO ADVERTISE ALASKA.
Bureau officials at Washington are
to be warmly commended, says the
Railway and Marine News, for the
decision that a large sum is to be
appropriated for advertising Alaska,
as in no other manner can the trav
eling public be attracted. This has
been amply proved by the many
American and Canadian steamship
lines operating to and from Alaska,
who have collectively during the past
twenty years expended three million
dollars in advertising the scenic at
tractions and industrial opportuni
ties of the Northland. Naturally!
one cannot expect to hear that the I
Government would appropriate a j
proportionate sum annually for any j
such purse, but any expenditure in I
the populous centers of the East j
cannot fail to attract attention to
the Territory, and at the same time
it will be helpful to the Territory in
many other ways. The greatest
care, however, should be used by
those who prepare these advertise
ments, to prevent any rush to the
North of indigents, laborers, or oth
ers not possessing a small amount
of capital with which to provide for
their own needs; otherwise the Gov
ernment would be greatly embar
rassed in having to send a ship
north to bring such people out. For
years past Alaska advertising has
ever discouraged this particular class
from moving northward Conditions
are so unlike those of any other
country that the only people desired
from an industrial viewpoint are
those possessed of either the ability
or capital to invest and then de
velop. To advertise the scenic at
tractions for the tourists and then
the wonderful opportunity for le
gitimate investment and industrial
development will prove of the great
est passible benefit to the Territory
at large.
GOOD LESSON FOR THOSE WHO
WILL HEED.
The act of Charles E. Herron in
going into a criminal court and
pleading guilty to having committed
crime by printing things about a
responsble citizen of the Territory
that he admitted were not true, and
causing editorial comment to be
made that was not true, and by sign
ing a statement in which he not
only publicly retracted what he had
said, but admitted that the man he
had traduced was a respectable and
honorable citizen, ought to be a
lesson to some of the self-styled
newspapermen of Alaska, believes
the Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire.
Some of these men who pretend to
be newspaper men persistently write
simply what they think will serve
their purposes, regardless of facts
or truth. They apparently know
nothing of the history of Alaska,
current or past, and care less. They
write like people who never investi
gate anything. They say things
that people know are not true. They
misquote people whose acts and
words are well known. They dis
tort words almost before the echo
of their utterance has ceased to
ring. They never retract, even
when their lies are nailed on them—
except when haled into court to an
swer the processes of law.
This is a sort of journalism that
once upon a time was familiar to
Americans, but fortunately it has all
but completely passed away with
many of the undesirable things of
the decades that have gone. How
ever, it is because there are still
some of them here and there thftt
we continue to hear people say once
in a while that “you can’t believe
anything you see in the papers.”
If the obvious lessons of the Cor
dova libel proceedings are taken to
heart they should have a good effect
in Alaska.
PALMER’S REVOLUTION (?).
Everybody is laughing at A.
Mitchell Palmer’s May Day “revo
lution,” says the New York World.
The ioke is certainly on A. Mitch
ell Palmer, but the matter is not
wholly a joke.
The spectacle of a cabinet officer
going about surrounded with armed
guards because he is afraid of his
own hand-made bogey is a sorry
one, even though it appeals to the
humor of Americans.
Of course, the terrible “revolu
tion” did not come off. Nobody
with a grain of sense supposed it
would.
Yet, in spite of universal laugh
ter. the people are seriously dis
gusted with these official Red scares.
They cost the taxpayers thousands
of dollars spent in assembling sol
diers and policemen and in paying
wages and expenses to Mr. Palmer’s
agents.
They help to frighten capital ami
demoralize business, and to make
timid men and women nervous anc
jumpy.
As a matter of fact, there is nc
more danger that the few thousanc
“Reds” scattered over our vast ter
, ritory will attempt an armed revolu
tion than there is that the Wool
worth and Singers buildings wil
j waltz down Broadway together.
1 The whole thing is a mixture o:
personal cowardice and cheap de
partment politics.
What Mr. Palmer is trying to d<
; is to distract public attention fron
his miserable failure to reduce price
.and jail profiteers.
, Wljat Mr. Palmer’s agents ar<
! trying to do is to pose as wonder
ful sleuths and provide some excus<
for their salaries.
And if there are no Red activities
they see to it that fictitious ones an
| created.
Judge George W. Anderson, o!
Massachusetts, was United State:
district attorney during the war
before being selected for the Fed
eral bench. He ought to knov
something about the methods of th<
department of justice and its agents
and the other day he declared fron
the bench that ninety-nine out o
each hundred “spy” cases brougfo
to him by department agents, then
was no foundation at all for the ac
cusation; and also declared that thi
agents of V1® department of justici
themselves “owned and operated’
sections of the Communist party.
In other words, Judge Andersoi
charges that our Government is us
ing “agents provocateur”—that most J'
infamous of all the infamous devices
of the czar’s secret police.
The Congress should investigate
the secret service.
There is more than a suspicion i
that it is being used for highly im
proper purposes and that its meth
lods are no longer such as can be
tolerated in America.
And for mere reasons of public 1
welfare there should be no more of
these silly “Red Revolution” oogeys. ;
i Opera bouffo is all l ight on the j
stage, but it has no place in the
department of justice.
Besjdes having a streetcar, a high- !
ly-paid city engineer and several
other things associated with cities
of the first class, Ketchikan is dem
ontrating that it is a real honest
to-goodness city by having a bank
failure—Douglas Island News.
