BUREAUCRATIC LITANY

And it came to pass in that land which girdeth the
sea which is set over to the Westward where the pen
insular sinketh into the sea and stoppeth the importa
tion of Chinese noodles and yen shee; albeit Japanese
pickled cockroaches and Russian whiskers.
Hark ye! Of the tribes of Scnadinavia there were
many, and they made unto themselves ships. They sail
eth the seven seas. They spiest out the herring, albeit
the whale, the salmon and the halibut, Spiest out they
all these And they chewest of snuse, and eatest of leu
derfisk and knackerbrod, even like concrete atest they
brod. And it was good. And they castest their nets and
catcheth the salmon; aye the silvery herring catcheth
they them.
And it came to pass that they brought their wives;
unto the new land, saying: Verily it is good. They dri
eth the codfish, even like unto the 18th amendment—-if
the tales peddled by its friends are not hooey
When lo, says the delegate, cameth the favored of
the king. They set them thereon big plants, albeit, can
neries and a company store. (The delegate apparently
forgets Alaskans have this same privilege.)
And so, so said he, it came to pass that the simple
fisher folk, who cast their nets even as the apostles cast
them in Gallilee, sailed the length and breadth of the
land. (The wording is ours.) Then fighteth they the
waves in their little valkiries and seeketh whereto to cast
their nets. (Bluee-ee-ee!) But findeth them not a haven.
For verily they of the alleged annointed holdeth it all.
(Some more blueey.) They seeketh a job, but lo, they
findeth it not. Of the honorable Chinamen there were
many; of the exquisite Filipino they were legion; of the
guttersnipes of the great cities like Sodom and Gomorrah
cameth they. Of the hop supplieth by the Chinaman they
smoketh much; of the coke and morph, snuffeth they
up the nose, or shooteth it into the arm. (Isn’t it
awful, Mabel?)
And they then turneth these upon the land each
year, which keepeth the marshals busy. Of crime they
maketh SO per cent; of homes they maketh none; of sau
sage they maketh much of each other with the dagger;
of revolvers possesseth they many. They would prey
upon the women of the fisherfolk, and like the snail
ieaveth behind them a trail of slime. (Horrors! Hor
rors!) /
And there was lamentation and protest in the land,
and petitions to the kink. But the children of the land
which is alleged to be set over to the east reareth up the
golden calf, and bow down to it and worship it. Even
worship they the god Mammon. And the cry of the dis
tressed (alleged) heareth them not because of jazz mus
ic and the siren voices of bathing beauties. Aye, even
like unto the bathing beauties stripped they them oJ
their livelihood.
Aye, all this may be so but verily, Alaskans see
eth very little of it these past few years.
We wonder how many, when they read news notes
from the out-of-way places in Alaska—from Chulitna
for instance—realize the trials and tribulations, th<
simple happiness and contentment, contained in th<
brief accounts of the comings and goings of those re
siding in those outlands; the real trail-blazers and pio
neers of Alaska? Those are the type of folk who ar
carving history by seeking a livelihood from the val
ley lowlands and mountains. We tip the derby in respec
and admiration of them.
