Just because a new mattress factory has started up
in Juneau and the new adventurer into the realms of
manufacture in the North booked sixteen orders in the
first three days of business, does not indicate that the
good people of that flourishing city are sleepy and
looking for a good spot to lie down but does show that
they are very much awake and willing to give whole
hearted support to any one who will take a chance with
them.
This incident undoubtedly points a moral. Would
not other towns in Alaska be excellent points to estab
lish small industries of varied characters ? Seward, as
well as others, might well inaugurate a survey of pos
sible industries that could he started with chances of
local support until the product became known out along
the many avenues of distribution.
Once Somnolent communities in the States have
been made thriving industrial centers by following out
this line of thought and then getting behind the new
comer by buying his product instead of following the
old practice of buying from a foreign market.
Ending a sentence with one or more prepositions is
now sanctioned even in Boston. A Globe reporter over
heard the remark: “What did you choose that book for
me to read out of to from for?”
ARE WE LAWLESS?
We hear a lot about lawlessness in America and it
is true that we are lawless in one sense of the word.
That is, there is more disregard of law in the country,
perhaps, than in any other on the globe.
However, if we define lawless to mean being with
out laws, we are certainly anything else but. We live
under manv thousands of laws and ordinances, many of
which the average citizen never hear of. A recent state
ment by T. R. Preston, former president of the Ameri
can Bankers Association will illustrate this:
“It would take a man working eight hours a day
seven years to read all the laws enacted last year, yet
ignorance of the law is no excuse. Courts are so con
jested that the district attorney ot New i oik estimates
that if every defendant should demand a jury trial, the
calendars would be 500 years behind in foui \eais,
Americans will go to war and give their life’s blood foi
liberty, and then turn around and enact laws depriving
themselves of all liberty.”
To which we may only add: “Isnt it the truth.
It might furnish an interesting sidelight on prohi
bition in 1940 if when Uncle Sam counts noses in nexl
year’s census he would note how many are red, ant
make a comparison ten years hence.
A successful novelist is one who can write a bool
naughty enough to get banned by the censors.
When those diminutive automobiles get on the high
wavS’ truck drivers will be more arrogant than e\er.
A lot of hot propaganda is being employed to com
bat other propaganda. '_•

SEATTLE, Oct., 14, (/P)—All Seat- J
tie has the football fever as game i
time approaches for this city’s j
choice gridiron classic of the sea- |
son between the University of I
Washington Huskies and the Uni- j
versity of Southern California of j
Los Angeles. It is generally con- ;
ceeded that if Washington can get !
by U. S. C. they have an excellent j
chance to land on top in the Paci- j
fic conference.
Coach Howard Jones, 50 odd play- |
ers, and his staff, arrived here from
Los Angeles and took a light work
out on the University Stadium field.
They are heavy favorites by at least
three touchdowns. Coach Bagshaw j
of Washington, refused to commit
hinr-elf as to chances for a Husky
to win but said it would be a real
football game for 60 full minutes.
All reserved seats are sold out for
the game and a capacity crowd of
30.000 fans is anticipated. A treat
in open field running is in store for
the fans, with Merle Hufford,
the flasy Husky halfback and Don
Moses, Southern California all
American half, doing their wares.
An open aerial attack is expected
1 from Bagshaw’s light fast back
field. Ellis Johnson, promising so- .
iphomore halfback from Grays Har
bor will start as running mate to
Hufford, with Geehan at quarter
and Johnny Stombaugh at full
back.
