A MONUMENT TO EVE.
Robert Quillen, one of America’s
foremost paragraphers and editor of
the Tribune at Fountain Inn., South
Carolina, has erected in his front yard
a monument to the world’s kinswo
man, Eve, the reputed mother of the
human race.
Fortunately the climate along the
Little Pedee is salubrious and the
statue will suffer no inconvenience
from its paucity of clothing. Eve
has little apparel on save an apple,
with twig and leaf, bearing the in
scription, “In memory of Eve, the first
woman.”
Unfortunately some of Mr. Quillen’s
neighbors stared at the monument
with incredulous horror and question
ed the motives which prompted him
to erect the marble shaft.
His declarations that Eve was a dis
tant relative and that it was purely
a family matter should not be allowed
to stand, as Eve’s many relatives in
Alaska have had no voice in the mat
ter. While it is inchedible that none
of her relatives have thought enough
of their forebear to ereci; a stone to
her memory in the past 6000 years,
the matter should call for a congres
sional investigation.
It is queer that people should be
jealous of Mr. Quillen’s taking upon
himself the responsibility of honoring
the ancestor of the whole human race
but people will get jealous. Person
as
ally we would not give A-dam for Eve
as sine Is a bad example to the advo*
cate of short shorts. *•
Members of a young men’s league
in Gearmany have pledged them
selves not to marry girls who bob
their hair, smoke, drink or use a lip
stick. They are still bachelors.
A London correspondent writes that
“the two minute silence on the morn
ing or Arrmistice Day was broad
casted throughout the United Kingdom
by the British Broadcasting Company.”
Some loud silence, what?
Two well known gentlemen have
written a book about Florida which
they assert will have a sale exceed
ing that of any other book, apparently
forgetting that book so often pur
chased and so seldom read, the Bible.
Governor “Ma” Ferguson of Texas
has joined the group of eminent biolo
gists of which the late William Jen
nings Bryan was chief. She has order
ed the elimination of all references
to evolution in the text books of the
Texas schools, apparently forgetting
she is making a monkey out of her
self.
Capt. George Parker, New England
prohibition officer, refused to speak
on law enforcement at a Boston dry
meeting if any reporters were pres
ent. She was probably afraid the pub
lic would find out how easy it is to
get a drink.
Federal Judge Thomas has ruled
that Gerald Chapman shall be hanged
before serving his 25-year sentence
instead of afterward, as Chapman’s
attorneys naturally desire. In case the
suspending sentence is carred out it
is hard to see the philosophy of de
manding fulfillment of the lesser one.
_
At last love has triumphed, J. B. El
liott, a wealthy banker of Knoxville,
la., 18 years ago had such a poor opin
ion of Waite Phillips, his bookkeeper,
that when he married his daughter he
virtually kicked the pair out. Waite
j waited. While wmiting he built up an
j Oklahoma oil business which he sold
for 825,000,000 and drifted back to the
old town in time to save Pappa Elli
ott’s bank fn$m failing.
The Saturday Evening Post carries
a four-page advertisement in a cur
rent issue for which the Crosby Wire
less Company paid 828,000. Evidently
the Post is taking pattern from the
Gateway and has raised its rates. The

| Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
