“WHY ALASKANS ARE DIVIDED”
(Prom Alaska Weekly.)
Under the heading, “Why Alaskans
Are Divided,” the Anchorage Daily
Alaskan says that many of the “su
burban" newspapers of the territory
have been gloating over the supposed
misfortunes of Anchorage and then
proceeds to show that the reason for
this ill-feeling is the fact that other
Alaskan towns realizing that Anch
orage is the only worthwhile city in
the territory, are resentful of her
success.
We did not realize that anything
was wrong with Anchorage. Like
other growing cities it has its peri
ods of slight depression and of read
justment, but certainly there can be
nothing about the present condition
of Anchorage or its future prospects
to warrant any gloating on the part
of that city’s worst enemies.
Some time ago in discussing the
possibility of a Territorial Chamber
of Commerce we voiced the fear that1
the old habits of sectional prejudice!
would militate against the successful ,
consummation of the project.
The Daily Alaskan in the editorial
in question says that Anchorage has
always been able to care for itself
and always will be, etc. Certainly
she has and will—but isn’t it possi
ble that a territorial chamber prop-j
erly functioning might bring a degree
of understanding between the cities
of Alaska which would make such in
terchange of recrimination to the
honor of all Alaska impossible.
We don’t know what the papers of
Alaska’s towns have been saying
about Anchorage, but if anything
they said justified the other towns
being called “beach combers” and
“ghost cities of the herring belt,”
etc., and other equally derogatory ti
tles in the editorial columns of as
widely a read paper as The Anch
orage Daily Alaskan—then none of
Alaska is receiving much valuable
publicity through the controversy,
and it is high time that some organ
ization was formed to bring about
a different spirit if nothing else.
The editorial in question carries
in itself an apt answer to the title
—Why Alaskans Are Divided.
MM WAGON HORSE
UNBEATEN IN RACES
REGINA, Sask., Nov. 7.—From a
milk-wagon nag to king of the West
ern turf in one year. That is the
record of Tony Silvester, the seven
vear-old speeder of the Vassar & Tay
lor stables here, who has hung up a
record as Saskatchewan’s unbeaten
race horse.
A year ago Tony, a homely gelding,
ti-otted soberly through Regina’s al
leys, dragging the morning milk. Tho
he came of a racing strain, he gave no
evidence, either in appearance or gait
that he might be a money winner on
1 the track.
This spring, however, Tony’s own
er decided to give the horse a chance.
He took him off the milk i
put him in training for six weeks. His
debut among the blue bloods of the
Saskatchewan track was not impres
sive . His race was a mile, and he
trailed badly behind in the first two
heats. Then his racing blood began
to tell, and Tony romped home in the
lead for the three final heats. He dup
licated his success in his next perfor
mance, and since then he has been
winning i*egularly.
Now Tony tilts his equine nose
whenever a milk wagon crosses his
path. His owner believes he will
r-^en be champion ?f Western Canada.
Miss Cecil Leslie is reported on the
sick list ,with the prevalent malady,
influenza.

SEATTLE ALSO HAS A
DIPLOMA MILL, CHARGE
SEATTLE, Nov. Seattle has a
$50,000 “diploma mill” where sani
practic physicians’ diplomas are sold
at prices ranging from $3,75 to $500
each without the formality of a
course of instruction as provided by
law, according to charges filed in
the King County superior court by
Attorney General John H. Dunbar
the other day.
The state’s sweeping allegations
are aimed at the American Univers
ity of Sanipractic, headed by John
E. Lydon its president, and busi
ness manager, in a civil suit ask
ing that the corporation be dissolved
and that a receiver be appointed
for that purpose. The state also
asks that a permanent injunction
be issued restraining the "univers
ity” from ever again issuing phy
sician’s diplomas.
“Pretended School”
The state’s complaint labels the
defendant corporation “a pretended
school.” It charges that diplomas
were not only issued for cash con
siderations but that diplomas were
issued in advance of the state ex
aminations by the Board of Drug
less Examiners, and that the state’s
questions at those examinations
were furnished the students in ad
vance so they would be sure to
pass the tests.
The “pretended school” accord
ing to the state’s contention, adver
tised a “large faculty which never
appeared in the school to carry out
a regular course of study.”
Through Dunbar and his assist
ant, R. G. Sharpe, the state tells
the court it does not know the full
extent of the American University |
of Sanipractic’s diploma issues, but j
alleges a large number and a large
percentage of its diplomas were is
sued purely for a money consider
ation without the applicant having
in good faith, or at all, complied
with any requirements entitling
them to diplomas.”
It is alleged in the complaint that
the activities of the defendant cor
poration has turned out upon the
public a large number of sani
practic physicians who are not
qualified, but who are equipped with
diplomas and state licenses to prac
tice with those sanipractors who
have been legally graduated and ex
amined.
All this is contrary to public wel
fare and the state drugless healer
law which was passed in 1919, the
courts are told. The state sets up
that soon after passage of the drug
less healer law the defendant cor
poration was formed under the laws
of Washington with headquarters in
Seattle.
