LIMITATIONS TO PRUDENCE
An eminent, Dr. Kilgoe, addressing his baccalaur
eate sermon to Trinity College, North Carolina, pro
pounded this startling philosophy:
“The sage will counsel you to be prudent. Prudence
belongs to age and not to youth. If youth launched
forth armored with the prudence of the past ages he
would rust and there would be no progress.”
Today the institution Dr. Kilgoe graced has emerg
ed into Duke University, endowed with approximately
one hundred million dollars by a man who refused to
look backward when cigarettes were rolled by hand and
the pipe and cigar were the recognized mediums for
satisfying the taste for tobacco. Mr. Duke was the pro
duct of Dr. Kilgoe’s philosophy.
There are periods when mankind suffered from too
much experience. He stores up too many fixed ideas on
errors paraded as truth. It is only when he discovers
as has been discovered in this marvelous age, that look- j
ing backward at past experiences was but hiding the i
truth, that he begins to progress.
The world progresses in rythm, evolving gradually
through the ages; the tomorrow cannot be predicted on
the yesterday. It must be brought forth by the pioneer
in thought and action.
This lack of prudence produced the pioneer who
transformed Alaska from a wilderness to what it is.
Had he faltered at the experiences of the Pilgrim Fath
ers, the covered wagon emigrant and kindred adven
tures by men who sought the tomorrow rather than the
yesterday there would be no such Alaska as we exper
ience it today.
Had Col. Ben Eielson hesitated upon the experience
of the man who gave their lives in developing the air
plane, Alaska today would still be separated by vast
stretches of wild wilderness, and we would not see the
majestic ships of the air rivaling the great eagle in
conquest of the skies.
There is a time in every man's life when he must
step off the stage for the emergence of youth with his
lack of prudence and curiosity for what is beyond. But
he need not entirely surrender the field; he may scrap
his background and join with youth for the today and
tomorrow. A mind kept open to the* thought of today
cannot grow old regardless of the encroachment of
years. It is thus that we find ourselves compelled to ef
fect readjustments to cope with the evolution that is
rapidly relegating to the scrapheap an erroneous past,
created out of substances that, like the ox-cart, served
its day, but which has no place in the today and the to
morrow; yet it is worth while to be in step in the parade.
Another proof that war is what Sherman said it
was seen in what has happened to General Chung
chang of China. After being defeated and exiled he had j
to reduce the women of his harem from 40 to two.
So far the Farm Board has made no advances to
relieve the sowers of wild oats.
Frank Towle, Kenai peninsula
euide, returned to Seward Monday
from a successful hunt in the Moose
Pass district where he and Harry
Johnson asristed C. L. Hoidt of
San Francisco in procuring two
brown bear and a large Kenai
moose.
The three men spent seven days
in quest of game, during which
time a number of moose were view
ed and stalked before a fine speci
men was taken. Th brownies were
located on the final days of the
hunt.
This brings Mr. Houldt’s total of
Kenai peninsula game trophies to
seven. Prior to departing for Moose j
Pass Mr. Houldt hunted in the lo- j
cality of Russian river under the
guidance of L. W. Bishop where he j
bagged two mountain sheep and
two black bear.
A. G. Blake, mineral surveyor,
surveyed 1,400 acres of gold
bearing ground in and around
Coffee Creek, in the Kougarok,
the past season.

KILLER WHALES IN BAY
The presence of a school of sev
eral killer whales in the bay in
front of the Seward Fisheries plant
entertained onlookers this fore
noon for 10 or 15 minutes before
making their wav towards the en- ,
trance again. There huge and
sharp fins and broad powerful j
tails, the mighty weapons of the j
“killer” furnished several thrills as
the mammals repeatedly broke the j
surface of the water.

A wild and wierd story of the immense pampas country,
South America. The enormous territory where the Ar

mantic, but blood-thirsty bandits rule their domain,
like feudal lords of old. This play has magnificent back
grounds and settings, and Fairbanks outdoes himself in
the role of a Gaucho. One of the latest pictures of this
great actor and said to be one of his best.
