The tumult and the shouting dies. The blaring
trumpets fade into the distance. The bodies of the slain
warriors are dragged from the arena. The surging
crowds melt away as faltering torches swoon and gut
ter. Sweet quiet descends upon the scene and peace en
folds us.
Praises be! Yo Ho and a bottle of rum! Election
is over and nothing to do but count the casualties and
draw the kindly veil of oblivion across the faces of the
departed. A few more cigars to smoke and mayhap a
drink to take in honor of the victorious, then once more
we take up the humdrum of mundane things, oddly
grateful that the old footstool is still here for us to
tred upon. For a time it seemed that never again
would there be solace for our reverberating souls.
MERRY GO-ROUND
Some of these birds, who have been doing so much
talking about what they were going to do if they were
elected,—let’s see 'em try and do it. We took them at
their word and voted for them, even tho we knew they
were peddling a lot of hooey. We let them open their
mouths and boast, and we liked it; wre knowT it isn’t
humanly possible for them to do all the things they
said they wert going to do, and if they don’t do it, we
said they were going to do, and that gets us back
some satisfaction for some of the hard knocks we had
to take and that makes it even and everybody is sat
isfied, except those who didn’t get electecl and if they
try again maybe we’ll vote for them to get rid of those
we did vote for and that makes it Jake, and anyway
we’re winded.
GIVE THEM SHELTER
Claim is made that the last train brought in so
many passengers for the boat that the hotels were
swamped and some visitors couldn't find rooms. It has
been heard that some of the outgoing passengers de
manded so insistently that they be allowed to go aboard
the boat that they were finally admitted to staterooms.
It is surmised that they thought they were putting
one over but we understand that they had to pay for
that extra night's lodging which they didn't expect. We
are also informed that they could have found rooms in
town if they had tried hard enough. If it is true that
they could not get rooms, then some system should be
devised for listing possible accomodation.
The Coast Guard Cutter Haida is now majestical
ly riding the billows of the Gulf of Alaska like some
gre t, friendly bird looking after her chicks of the
halibut fleet who venture into the teeth of the North
King. You can say what you will but it does give a
feeling of comfort and security to know that Uncle
Sam's boys are out there on the whirling deep with
ears harking into the void for any signal of distress.
Wish we could have them always all times with us, and
perhaps a thoughful government will heed our oft-ex
pressed fears, that that feeling of security may abide
with us always.
What sweet sorrow is this parting! Today the fair
pages of this well known family regulator don’t seem
to pulsate with that genial warmth which they have
been wont to carry for lo, these many weeks. Do you
scan the columns with that sort of empty feeling as
though something poignant is not there? Yes, you
have it. The pictures in the advertisements of our
handsome candidates are gone.
A Congressman declares that the time is ripe for a
settlement of the Muscle Shoals question. Not only ripe,
but rotten, say we.
HU
pm BUT NO
TOURISTS AND CAPITAL NOT I
ENCOURAGED UNDER
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
SEATTLE, Nov. 5. UP)—Unless
Congress enacts remedies by nec- !
j essary legislation for “striking the ■
i shackles from Alaska” the northern j
j territory will become virtually de
serted the Alaska delegate said en- j
route to Washington. „ \
“With the assistance of Albert
Johnson, ranking membe rof the ;
territories committee and other
westerners we will fight hard for j
legislation to give Alaskans an op- J
portunity to attract private capital
1 to Alaska- Alaska has been throt- j
tied with too much bureaucratic
authority and too many regulations |
by departments which have no i
conception of the Territory and
the ‘dead, hand must be taken
from the throat of Alaska.
| “There have been Congression
; al investigation parties, agents of
Uhe Interior department. White
■house representatives. Justice De
partment investigators flocking in
*and out of the Northland but Al
1 aska received no assistance. They
came, enjoyed the scenery and de
parted to do nothing constructive
1 for Alaska.
“Alaska has resouces that
will attract capital at this time
j and settlers follow capital; after
| the settlers come the workers,
i “The tourists under the present
| system of government and also
: the capital are not encouraged and
I without this incentive Alaska will
remain dormant for generations.”
