CIVICS IN SCHOOLS
An important feature of the pub- j
lie school curriculum is the study of
civics; in fact, it may be considered
one of the most important, inasmuch
as the principal aim of education is
to prepare young people for the re-!
sponsibilities of citizenship.
In this connection, Congressman
Edgar Howard of Nebraska has an
idea. It is that the course in civics
might be made more practical and
more interesting by the introduction
of material bearing on current leg
islative matters.
With that end in view he has in
troduced in Congress a joint resolu
tion providing that upon the request
of any state or county superintend
ent, or the head of any public or par
ochial high school, a copy of the Con
gressional Record would be furnish
ed regularly during each session.
These copies would be supplied to
high schools only, and only upon the
request of officials concerned.
There appears to be no valid ob
jection to the plan possible, as the
expense of supplying the Record
would be negligible. It would cer
tainly be enlightening and helpful
to students of civics to have ready
access to the debates on current is
sues of the day and to see just how
the business of the government is
conducted in Congress.
Everything possible should be
done to create a greater interest in
government on the part of the com
ing generation, and with this in mind
FOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial'disablement;
4. The fear of losing what yon
have accumulated.
Would it be worth nr.ything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will brim? you full details without com
mitting you to any action.

it appears that Congressman How
ard's proposition is timely and
worthy of adoption.
A HATED WATCH-DOG
There sits in a government office
in Washington today one of the most
cordially hated men who ever serv
ed Uncle Sam. He stands guard
over the nation’s pocketbook and has
all the old-time watch-dogs of the
treasury backed off the map.
He is Comptroller General Mc
Carl, who has the final word con
cerning all disbursements of gov
ernment moneys. If any bills or
claims against the government are
not strictly in accordance with law,
they do not get bv McCarl. And
that is why many other officials
don’t like him.
There isn’t much that they can
do about it, however, for he is ap
pointed for fifteen years and can he
removed from office only through
impeachment by Congress. So long
as his rulings are in accordance with
the law there isn’t much chance of
that.
Among the many items which he
has disallowed are bills for flowers
for deceased officials, use of taxis
by Army officers riding less than
four blocks, black gowns for federal
judges, photographs for publicity
purposes, transportation of an ad
miral’s wife from China, and ex
penses of phohibition agents who lost
money in poker games while getting
evidence.
But while the McCarl policy of
strict adherence to red tape meth
ods has no doubt eliminated some
petty graft, it has not always been
economical. A lot of correspondence
was indulged in and several legal
opinions were invoked over the claim
of a government clerk for $1.50 spent
for lunch. It required three type
written pages to explain why a rail
road’s claim for 56 cents was dis
allowed, and so on. (
So, in view of the many trivial
items which involve legal research
and controversial correspondence, it
is doubtful whether any great sav
ing to the taxpayers results from
Mr. McCarl’s extreme watchfulness.
Sara Skarr May Make
Trip Home to Norway
Sam Skarr, an oldtimer of this
district, who has resided in Sew
ard off and on for about fifteen years
left for Seattle Saturday on the Vic
j toria. Mr. Skarr is en route to Van
i couver, B. C., where, it is reported,
he has been called in order to set
| tie his mother’s estat.
Prior to his departure he said he
was undecided whether he would re
| turn to Alaska but that he might
' make a trip to Norway.
China has been given three years
in which to abolish the “likin.” If
the quality doesn’t improve we are
going to be rid of ours sooner than
that.

Giants Capture Game
from Pirates Last
Night, Score, 36 to 14
The mighty Giants smote the Pir
ates squarely between the ears, at
last night’s indoor baseball game,
hanging ’em to the yard-arm and rid
dling their carcasses full of grape
shot. In dividing the spoils 3G tallies
were checked off to the credit of the
Giants and 14 for the lowly Pirates.
A small crowd was on hand to wit
ness what was undoubtedly the poor
est game played on the local diamond
this winter.
With cutlasses betwix teeth and
blunderbusses clasped firmly, the Pi
rates waded into the thickest of the
fray 'but from the third stanza on the
volley of shots, resounding with migh
ty crashes, from the hickory war
clubs of the Giants, mowed a clear
field, bowling over the opposition with
ease. Everybody on the Giant’s line
up took a crack at the pill until the
Pirates were so nervous they know
not, which way to dodge.
Lien and Bolam was the battery for
the Pirate layous and for the Giants
Irving Dyer and Tinkler performed.
Shellhorn umped the entire game. Ow
ing to the scorekeeper wearing out
three pencils before the game ended,
no record of the game was kept. The
best swat of the evening came in one
of the latter innings when Swetmann

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
