ARMISTICE DAY
.. give years ago tomorrow7 me nios
horrible war in the history of th
world ettine to an end. to the great re
lief of the people of the United State
aiul of the entire world. The struggl
was one which directly affected ever;
resident on the face of the globe, am
which will still affect th?m for manj
more years. What a difference then
is today and five years ago. At that
time the Allies were talking of draw
ing and quartering the Kaiser; ol
dismembering Germany, of giving the
boys overseas their jobs back and a
substantial bonus for time lost, and
-the man who mentioned Germany was
not a desirable citizen.
But a short time has elapsed, and
the Kaiser is still active in German
politics, Germany has not paid any of
her enormous reparations; the soldier
has been kicked into the discard by
an ungrateful congress, and the ’pres
ent session may see a large appropri
ation made by benevolent officials, to
keep our former enemy from starving.
Not only has the short space of five
years brought this state of affairs to
a pass, but investigations before a
congressional committee shows that
the maimed and wounded soldier has
been grafted from and mistreated in
a manner most dastardly.
When the world laid down the sword
for the pruning hook, and beat their
weapons into ploughshares many per
sons of visionary minds saw the mil
lennium approaching. Wars were to
cease, armaments destroyed and the
United States police the world. Today
shows the nation honeycombed with
graft, with its laws set at naught and
its dissolution advocated by the Reds
and Bolshevik.
Had the United States adhered to
its resolutions of five years ago, the
world would have indeed beeen a bet
ter place to live. Every returned sol
dier would have been shown the ap
preciation of his sacrifice by a grate
ful nation, the wounded and maimed
would be tenderly cared for, and wars
would indeed be banished for all time.
If so much can happen in the past
five years, what will happen within
The next five? Are we to allow the rad
ical to undo the work that was paid
for by the blood of our best and brav
est? Shall we allow the preachment
of anarchy and Sovietism to go un
punished? Isn't it about time for the
men who marched forth to save the
world to start in to save a nation. If
the youth of the nation Is corrupted
by sedition and anarchy, what hope
have we for the future?
Armistice Day! The day we ceased
strife and destruction; the day that
should have marked the beginning of
greater and better things. How many
riB
hypocritical platitudes will be writter
J i today by the press of the land; tht
press which by united action could en
; force what the da* should stand for
- Not alone the abolition of strife but
the abolition of all things that under
mine the tenets of democracy.
PROFIT IN TOURISTS
(Dawson News)
Thirty million dollars in tourists
business in one year. Such is the val
ue of travelers to British Columbia
during the present year. The esti
mates were made by a Victoria finan
' cier and he calculates that Vancouver
alone benefits to the extent of twenty
million dollars for the season.
With such returns British Colum
bia has a veritable gold mine in the
tourist traffic. It is shared by rail
a ways, steamship lines, hotels, shop
keepers, and the public generally.
. British Columbia does not get all
4 the,<proflts of the tourist passing into
7 that province. Many continue thru to
j Alaska and a percentage to the Yukon.
•I Dawson, which is out on a limb thus
far in respect te the tourist traffic,j
has reaped a harvest from the tourist
. this season. It is estimated that no
fewer than one thousand tourists vis
i Ited here. Atlin, B. C., which is farth
er south, received many more. As
many as two thousand a season are re
1 ported to have visited the glacier
’ the Atlin Vratei'wnyi.
The Northwest Tourist Association,
which formerly did the publicity work
for Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia, with headquarters in Seat
tle, is now dissolved, and each state
and the province now campaigns for
the tourits business alone. It will pay
Yukon and Alaska handsomely to do
their share. The business will grow
and the revenues in time will rival
that of the most fabulously rich gold
mines.
An exchange asks: “If the Ku Klux
Klan is not what it ought to be, why:
do so many prominent men belong to
it He might well add that if graft
is not right why do so many promi
nent men graft. If stealing is not
right why do men steal. If war is not;
right why do we go to war. And if
being silly is not right why are so
many men silly?

6 You and Me’
SON OF DARWIN WRITES ON
HIS IDEA OF HAPPY MARRIAGI
LONDON, Nov. 10.—In an article o
: “Marriage As It Ought to Be,” Majo
Leonard Darwin, president of the El
genies Education Society, and fourt'
son of Charles Darwin, author of “Tli
Origin of Species,” writes,
j “All fairly healthy persons who ai
mire the qualities of their parents am
relatives and who also proud of th<
nation to which they belong should n
alize that by having less than thre<
or four children when they could liav<
^ more they would be doing their bes
to stamp out the stock from whch the}
sprang and this merely to secure theii
own comfort.
“Such a course of action is not onlt
immoral but it certainly is unpatriotic
for if the wise and healthy couples o
, today do not pass on their good quali
ties to posterity by having a fair-sizec
family the nation will inevitably gc
slowly and steadily down hill.
“I am not advocating very large
families for I hold that the population
is inerea«jpg (oo quickly as it is. But
this increase is not of {he right kind, I
am told tha4 bargains are now struck'
before marriage as to the number of
children to be brought into the world.
To an old fashioned person such bar
gaining between lovers is disg’
bOUGLAS RANCHER DIES
WHEN HOUSE IS BURNED
Andrew Brown, 58, Douglas Island
rancher, died Friday from burns re
ceived in a fire that destroyed his
home.
Brown had resided in the vicinity of
Douglas for about 25 years. He own
ed and operated one of the first gas
boats in Alaska. He was known as
“One-armed Brown.” Some 15 years
ago while coming to port from a fisn
ing trip he got one of his hands caught
in a shaft and the arm was torn off.
Alone, he stopped the flow of blood
and brought his boat into port.v
TRAPPER LOST ON SUSITNA
FLATS FIVE DAY; NO FOOD
Chas. Bates, a trapper on the Tal
ehulitna river, recently had an attack
of neuralgia of the teeth and started
down the river in a boat, intending to
go to Anchorage for treatment. When
he arrived at Susitna he found Mrs.
Johnson, the roadhouse keeper, seri
ously ill and started to walk overland
to the railroad for help. Nine miles
on his way he was overtaken by a
heavy storm, and low hanging clouds,
causing him to lose his bearings. He
wandered around for two days, before
coming to a stream he recognized. He
built himself a raft and embarked on
it and for two days and nights drifted
with the current. He came out near
the cabin of George Klatt, who fed
him and gave him first aid, as he had
been five days without food.
He again started for Anchorage,
reaching Point McKinley, where he
started a smoke signal. A boat report-:
?d the signal to the marshal’s office
and a launch was sent for him. An j
hour later Deputy Hoffman and ChasJ
spaulding started out to the aid of
Mrs. Johnson, but were compelled to;
urn back by a heavy snowstorm.
Sam White left later to break trail!
he 24 miles to Susitna and will
pring the sick woman to Anchorage. J
Bates says he is through with trap
ping as a result of the recent order1
