IS IT “HUNK?”
lion. John Kiuigard, in a speech
at Anchorage characterized (he men
ace of ihe Indian vote now hanging
over the Territory as “bunk.” Not
withstanding that some 700 votes
were cast in the First division, two
thirds of whom were those of illiter
ate voters, Mr. Rustgard character
izes as “bunk’’ the protest of citi
zens of the Territory against such
practices being indulged in. The In
dians of the Territory outnumber the
white by a large majority. In case
they were organized as skilfully as
were the Indian voters of the First
division, what chance would a white
candidate have to get office. Even
the office of the attorney general
might be filled by an Indian, which,
while it would not prostitute the of
fice to any great extent, would be
distasteful to the average elector.
Unless the great mass of intelli
gent voters of the Territory throw
the safeguards of education around
the voting booths, there is always
danger to the minority. Danger that
their rights will be infringed by ig
norant lawmakers; danger that laws
that will not stand the test of the
courts will be passed, and danger
that the white homeowner will be
crowded to the wall.
Thanks to the Women’s clubs of
Alaska and the members of the Am
erican Legion, who are backing the
figth for a literacy bill, the clamor
for such legislation is becoming too
Loud to be ignored. Whenever you
hear an official apologizing for the
voters who elected him, you may
safely believe that the “bunk” is
there, and that it is not being ped
dled by the intelligent elector.
GLORY ENOUGH FOR 'aLL
Another day at the most will see
the American round the world flyers
again on American soil. Despite the
dangerous adventure no serious acci
dent has as yet befallen the daring
aviators, although at times Death
has reached out its grisly hands. The
accident to Major Martin’s plane,
while yet over Alaskan terraine was
deplorable ,as it was hoped that the
flight through the northern empire
would be devoid of accidents. Des
pite the sudden ending of the flight
| leader’s tour, he earned creitable
glory in carrying on despite motor
| troubles and heavy gales.
| Lieut. Wade also was put out of
j the flight by an accident not of his
own volition, as his plane was irrep
arably damaged while being lifted
from th© water by a British cruiser,
standing by at the time he was forc
ed to descend. However, the air de
partment has offered to furnish him
another plane and allow him to con
tinue his interrupted flight.
The successful conclusion of the
round the world flight adds prestige
to American laurels. With two out
of four planes finishing the long trip
it is a forceful demonstration of the
resourcefulness of American mach
ines and mechanics.
Each aviator should share in the
reward, as there is glory enough or
all.
GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME
FAILS AGAIN
A group of Los Angeles get-rich
quick artists started a $1,000,000
home building corporation with a
high-sounding title. One asset to
the promotion schemes of the com
pany, it appears, was an .individual
who posed as an erstwhile operatic
impressario and close associate of
European royalty. Obviously, he
added “tone” to the concern. Now
eight of the promoters are facing
charges of embezzlement in connec
tion with the alleged swindling of
hundreds of would-be home owners,
who were persuaded that by invest
ing their savings in the corporation
they eventually would receive aid in
But Not Too “Solid”
Fry’s “Delicious” Bacon is one
of the very best foods for the fa
mily table—thoroughly satisfying,
but not too “solid.” Doctors and
food experts tell us that bacon is
one of the most nourishing dishes,
and the most jaded appetite will
find new zest in the delightful fla
vor that is the result of the spec
ia Frye curing process.
Frye’s "Meat Guide" is a collection of original receipts
and many useful helps for the cutting and preparation of
all meats. By sending 2c for postage to Frye & Co., Seat

EVERYTHING THE NAME IMPLIES'
the building of their homes. It was
a scheme apparently akin to that of
the genius who evolved a perpetual
motion method of raising cats for
their fur. His plan was to get to
gether a bunch of desirable cats, turn
them loose on the available rats,
keeping the surplus of rats alive on
the • arcasses of tr.e < ats—the scarce
of his stock in trade, which was val
uable fur. Somehow this ideal cir
cle failed to work—as is the annoy
ing habit of schemes of the kind. The
Los Angeles investors failed to real
ize on their hopes of building their
own homes from a comparatively
small initial investment. They have
discovered that the best way to build
a home is to work hard, conserve
their resources, and pay for their
homes in real coin of the realm.
Recent dispatches from the press
carry an article pertaining to the
floating cafe” off Fire island on the
Atlantic coast. The truth is that it
is a myth as later accounts revealed
that a reporter on a New York daily
displayed the “floating cafe,” beyond
the 15-mile limit as a place where
wild orgies are held. He received his
time the day following the appear
ance of the story in the paper.—Re
porters will make mistakes ,but why
did he choose the 15-mile limit—too
conspicuous, we’d say.
Scientists have demonstrated that
it is not sand but sugar that makes
a man courageous. Well, they go to
gether, don’t they.
The man who hollers there is no
thing in the paper is some times glad
there isn’t.
We are'not so much interested in
Mars being inhabited as in Alaska
having a few more people.
If women were satisfied with the
face God gave them the druggist
would go broke.
The country is in more danger
from unlimited conversation than
from unlimited armaments.
Death and the loss of a good rep
utation never happen twice to the
same man.
If Nature ban n t it indent * mar.
to succeed she would have put less
bone in his back and more in his
! head.
In a competion for being the goat
the public always wins.
Chances are that if the serpent
had not tempted Eve she would have
let her foot slip in some other man
ner. There is always a way if the
will is present.
