Something like this: “Go West young man, Go
West,” which in them days was good advice but the
people thought it was silly and that Horace was balmy
in tiie belfry just as they would call any young or old i
editor a nut now if he should exclaim, ‘‘Go North, young ,
man. go North.”
But, like Steve Brodie, we are going to take a
ohance although we’re not so very old and not so ‘hot’ j
as an editor and frequently don’t know whether its our
hat or our hair that weighs on our so-called brain (sap-1
head as one alleged prominent citizen calls us), so we’re j
going to say and bear down hard and say it again, \
"Young man, come North and come freely, hopefully
and gfadsomely and knock at the door of opportunity.
Come with hope in your heart and the will to do be
cause a new land awaits those of courage, determina-;
-tion, good will and optimism.
“Come North young man, to a place where a man i
-*can still call his soul his own. Come where men meet on
an equal footing. Come where the latch-string still has
"the habit of hanging out. Come to a new empire in the
making like the argonauts of ‘49 who thought they had j
reached the ultima thule of human adventure but who;
•only had a taste of what real gold seeking is. j
* “Come North, young man, to a land so big, so rich,
so varied in resource that it will some day constitute
a dozen states to be added to the Union. Come while
the coming is good. Come prepared to make your life
work here, make your home here, raise your ^ family
here, invest your money here. This is a good land to
live and thrive and die in. To him who takes advan
tage now there will be ample recompense in a dozen
-years. By that time, young man, you will become a sea
soned Alaskan, will have money in plenty and wouldn’t
dive anywhere else on a bet.
WHO IS EDUCATED?
Amidst the confusion among various schools of
'thought regarding present-day education,^ it is ieall>
difficult to find a satisfactory yard-stick with which to
measure that elusive individual, the educated man.
Many hold the view that no one is truly educated
•unless he is familiar with the classics, proficient in sev
eral languages living and dead, versed in higl mathe
matics and so on. Another school, while recogi-'/mg the
desirability of a classical education when circumstances
permit, denies that the classicists have license to loid
it over their more practical brethern, or to lay exclu
sive claims to real education.
The educated mind today is the mind which best
learns how to use the knowledge in existence, pai ticu
larly those truths which apply to the thing which he is
doing.
The people of the effete East should come to Alas
ka, the country of alleged icebergs and snow, and get
thawed out. While it was 46 below in New York State
here in the “frozen” North we were enjoying 15 above.
Looks like Juneau is becoming civilized, according
to reports of the recent crime w^ave.

GAMES CALLED OFF
Owing to the ungentlemenly
conduct of certain members of
the Seward high school basket
ball team while at practice last
night the series with the Anchor
age high schol team, which was
to begin locally next Monday nite,
has been cancelled and it is
quite probable that the team will
be disorganized for the remainder
of the season.
J. L. Waller, Anchorage attor
ney and prominent throughout
the legal profession in Alaska,
was among last evening’s arrivals
from the Inlet metropolis, on a
brief business visit.

THE GREAT
Emil Jannings
7/ho has never made a poor picture is again to be seen tonight
in one of his latest plays.
“The Street of Sin”
A VERY FINE MELODRAMA STAGED IN THE
FAMOUS LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT
of London. A gripping story of one of the worst slums in the
world. Emii Jannings^ as the Herculean crime leader, gives a
wonderful portrayal of a man’s character changing when the
faint spark of decency that is still within him is fanned toj
life by good influence that comes into his life.we need say no
more as all Janning pictures are worth seeing.
With it we will give you a JOHNNY ARTHUR two-reel comedy
