HE WILL RETURN HOME
In today’s news dispatches is an item referring to
Thomas “Mickey” Gordon, born at Point Barrow twenty
one years ago, who has just arrived in San Francisco on
his father’s schooner, and which marks his first visit to
the States. Civilization and “easy living” will be put to
the test, it is claimed. If residing in Alaska is easy living,
as the dispatch leads one to believe it is, then perhaps Al
askans can soon look forward to a remarkable and sudden
growth in population.
But, seriously, we doubt that Alaska’s growth will
come from that source for as the years roll by it becomes
apparent only the strong remain those who have faith
that time, which heals all matters, will eventually put Al
aska on a permanent pedestal of Territorial growth.
The majority of the citizens are staying in Alaska,
not because they hope to make a stake and then go back
to the States, but because they love Alaska, their home.
Most of those who do leave, return maybe not at once but
eventually.
“Mickey” may stay Outside for many months, ab
sorbing the glamour of the “make-believe” life in the
cities but if one can grasp just what life means, and
“Mickey” probably will, such wilt be the contrast; he will
soon be back where a man in overalls commands as much
respect as his brother wearing the proverbial brown
derby.
There are many “Mickey’s” in Alaska, youths born in
the Territory who have never been in the States. That is
natural. There are also many youths born in the States
who have never been to Alaska. To travel is to learn so
we suggest all Alaska born to visit the States, also that all
those born in the States visit Alaska.
MARQUAM DUE SEWARD, SUNDAY
Reports from districts visited by Thos. A. Marquam,
Independent candidate for delegate to congress, cannot
fail to impress the stamp of approval which has greeted
his appearance. In his campaign talks Mr. Marquam is
adhering strictly to matters of Territorial interest, con
structive legislation. His endorsement of Secretary
Hoover’s work in today’s issue, will be read with satisfac
tion.
According to Mr. Marquam’s present itinerary he
will arrive in Seward Sunday from Anchorage, where he
is scheduled to speak Saturday evening, and will deliver
an address here, leaving in a special motorboat, for Val
dez. Mr. Marquam will be accorded a hearty welcome by
Seward citizens for every indication points to the fact he
will carry this district by a large majority.
AERIAL SERMONS
It has been argued for radio that it has aroused to
active part in worship many who have heretofore heed
lessly neglected their religious responsibilities, much as
it has increased interest in music, education and artistic
entertainment. The form of participation may be less es
sential when it is recalled that even the Master and his
disciples preached in the highways and byways without
constant recourse to the sacred precincts of the church
edifice itself.
THE EARTH’S VANITY
Earthquakes, volcanoes and the thrusting out of new
mountain ranges are the result of the earth’s efforts to
attain symmetry, is the explanation of the phenomena of
fered by Reginald A. Daly, of Harvard, which vindicates
the use of the feminine gender in referring to the planet.
IN THE MEANTIME—
The Unionville, Mo., band has ordered new uniforms.
Because of insufficient funds, however, only the coats and
caps have been ordered. The trousers will be bought
when more money is available.
UUNDRYMIN ENTERS
EMPLOY OF LOCIL PUNT
Robert S. Sanders, arrived in the
city on the last train from the Interior
to accept a position with the Seward
Steam Laundry. He was formerly
with the Pioneer Steam Laundry of
Anchorage and is rated one of the few
expert laundrymen in the Territory.
Prior to coming to Alaska he was em
ployed in several of the largest plants
in the Pacific coast. Mr. Sanders
promises to be quite an acquisition
in athletic circles for on the field of
sport he has always been prominently
identified.
LIVELY FRENCH COMEDY

ture tonight at the Liberty theater.
This story brings Bebe to the screen

gone very far, finds herself married to
two men.
Here’s a novel screen situation.
Robert Frazer, Kenneth MacKenna
Raymond Griffith and others appear

OAKLAND, Oct. 8. (Jp)—'Wonder
what a polar bear thinks about when
he becojnes listless in a public zoo?
The Animal Shelter league and oth
er civic organizations thought Wran
gell, polar bear in the Oakland muni
cipal zoo, was honing for a cake of
ice and Arctic blasts when he seem
ed to be drooping. The park direc
tors authorized a committee of five
veterinarians to investigate.
They went over him from the tip
of his nose to the pads on his hind
feet, took his temperature, tested his
blood pressure and listened to his
lungs. It was decided that the 1,800
pound Bruin was not sick or mis
treated, but just treated too well. He
appeared to have a touch of eczema
and his daily chunks of beafsteak
were ordered discontinued and a diet
of bread, milk and vegetables substi
tuted.
