Memorial Day
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and in
every city and hamlet in these United
States, their citizens will gather to
pay honor to the memories of those ,
who have given their services and
their lives for their country. Since I
the late war Memorial Day has a
double meaning, the veterans of the
Civil War, the Spanish-Ameriean war
and the World War, joining in paying
tribute to those residents of the Silent
City, who were comrades in arms and
participated in those conflicts.
But the thought strikes us that i
while it is just and proper to pay hon-1
or to the dead, we are lax in our re- !
spect to the living veterans. The maim I
ed, the aged, and the helpless veter-1
ans are crying for assistance from all
parts of the country. Scandal alter
scandal has arose over treatment of
the disabled veterans of the World
War. Thousands of men are helpless
cripples today, with little <0 look for
ward to until taps is sounded over
they last resting place and the citi
zens honor them for perhaps the first
time by participating in memorial ser
vices over their graves.
The living should be honored before
the dead. Every comport that can be
devised should be cheerfully tendered,
and help extended unsolicited to the
maimed and helpless. Let this memor
ial day service open your eyes to the
needs of the living, and force Con
gress to give the help that is due them,
They will rest easier in their last
sleep if they are shown their services
were appreciated by their fellow citi
zens.
JUNEAU ALARMED
Juneau citizens are greatly alarmed 1
over the probability that other offices j
i
| than the land office will be removec
to the vicinity of the Alaska railroac
and to a more central location. Whetl
er or not this alarm is needless ma;
be expressed in the statement by th<
Secretary of the Interior, when a pro
test was made against the removal o
! the land office, that "other offices hat
not been determined upon yet.”
Juneau Is so far away from Alaske
proper that it takes from two to thret
weeks to make the round trip from
Seward. It is inaccessible, unhang,
and the last place the capital of the
territory should have been placed
when it was removed from Sitka, but
at that it was the only town of any
importance beside Sitka, and had the
bis interests pulling for the removal.
Since that time Juneau has pulled
everything to southeastern Alaska,
from the road commission to tractors.
Despite protests as to the feasibility
of the plan, the political pull of the
governor and other officials have en
abled them to get away with it.
Now the pull has apparently been
broken. One office has been removed
from Juneau to a more convenient and
central position farther north, and
others will follow. There is no doubt
but that Juneau should have a Land
Office. A branch office would suffice.
Juneau’s idea that it is more conven
ient to do business with her than with
towns near where land activities are
manifest is a far-fetched conclusion.
If we must do business with the land
office by mail, why not use the post
office facilities furnished by the
steamers and mail your letter to An
chorage.
The territory is too large to have its
capital and official heads so far away.
They must be moved closer to the cen
ter of population.
AND NOW it looks as tho Seward
is soon to be headquarters for the
naval vessels of the North Pacific.
When the big oil reserve station is
erected there it may be expected that
mr western neighbors will assume
proper military airs. And we are glad
to observe that it will be more of a re
freshing zephyr than the “hot air”
they have meen breathing since the
?arly days of John Ballaine’s railroad j
Jream.—Capital.

ed Judge W. H. Whittlesey out of the
running. Now some of his friends,
with a remote hope that a Democrat
will be elected President in 1924, want
Judge Whittlesey to allow his name
to go before the primaries next April j
in the full belief that he would be his
party’s choice as Alaska’s next Gov
ernor. But when in Juneau the other
day the Judge only smiled at the sug
gestion, evidently not yet having sat

‘‘probability” that a Democrat might
hold the office, at least until after
1928.—Juneau Capital.
