DEAN’S HAT IN THE RING
There appears in the columns of this issue announce
ment of the candidacy for election of W. B. Dean, repub
lican for the House of Representatives, Territory of Al
aska. While Mr. Dean has many staunch friends and sup
porters in Seward there are a few who have not had the
pleasure of making his acquaintance.
For things Alaskan, there never was a more sincere
worker for the Territory than this gentleman, who, for
the past two terms, has served as a member of the Ancho
rage town council, a consistent and energetic worker for
the advancement of his community, fearless in stating his
convictions, Mr. Dean is the type of man who should capa
bly fill the position as a Representative from the Third
Division, should he be elected.
That he is well qualified to occupy such a position be
comes known when it is learned he served as mayor of
Palo Alto, thriving California town, for several terms.
His host of friends predict he will poll a heavy vote.
Thirty-nine years ago J. C. Weld of Alaska was told
by doctors that he had only two weeks to live, but he has
just died at the age of 103.
Congress might increase the public revenues by plac
ing a customs duty on moral terpitude.
We’re going to look up moral terpitude in our dic
tionary—it must be some rare dish.
VIRTUOUS UNCLE SAM
The hounding of Vera, Countess of Cathcart, by of-1
ficials of the United States government, after a federal!
judge has ruled that she might be admitted to this coun-1
try, reflects no credit upon our this supposedly Christian j
nation. That the Countess has sinned, she does not deny,
but that her presence in America is so menacing that she
must be persecuted indefinitely is repulsive to very hu
mane and chivalrous instinct of American manhood! The
Countess was divorced on account of an escapade, but she
is now the fiancee of Ralph Neale, a noted British author
and she is an author and playwright herself. Mr. Neale
recently said: ‘T don’t see how the entrance of a divorc
ed woman can affect the great land of divorce.” Thous
ands of men and women, whose private lives have been
worse than hers, go back and forth freely between the ,
United States and Europe. The only difference between '
their cases and hers is that she has been frank and honest ,
in admitting her lapse from supposed standards of con- '
duct, while the rest are consummate hypocrites. In this
case Uncle Sam is assuming a virtuous role that is not
altogether becoming. ]
Dr. Henderson, of Illinois, preached an inspiring ser
mon last Sunday on “Awake—Why Sleepest Thou?” Not ;*
an eye drooped, not a snore was heard. j
The Koyukuk lady who ran twelve miles when she E
-pied a skunk in the birch woods took about the proper E
iistance. E
Mr Coolidge hopes soon to get Congress off his hand
—the Alaska muss must be worse than a gas leak.
Congress proposes to raise the salaries of federal
udges. How about raising the standard of justice?
STOCK MARKET SLUMP
With business in better condition than it has been for
aonths, the New York stock market has slumped the last
ew days. A great many people have interpreted this
lump as forecasting less favorable business conditions.
$ut the fact is that between business conditions and the
lump there is hardly any connection at all. For months
here has been a “bull” market. Prices of stocks were
orced upward for the purpose of profit-making. A great
lany of them were forced up to a point which represent
d inflated values. Consequently the market “broke,”
hat is, holders of stock sold for what they could get for
hem. Once it broke the “bears” forced prices down and
own. This is all there is to it.
Designers say the new gowns will make it possible
or women to dress in 55 seconds; not so—how about the
ime it takes to decide which dress to wear?
