LAW’S LIMITATIONS
‘ There should be a law-”
A man sees another taking a drink of liquor when
'ke himself likes tea.
“There should be a law-”
A man sees another playing cards for money when j
-*e likes to play checkers or bridge.
“There should be a law-”
A woman with a pair of extremities resembling
warped harness hames points to the proverbial flap- j
|ier with dimples in her knees and demands that said j
dimples be suppressed with a street-sweeping skirt. Or
Maybe it is a spoony couple slobbering over each other
under the stress of what is now being designated by
ultra erudite as “the disease of love.”
The most remarkable thing about this thirst for
jaws to govern every act objectionable to the proposer,
is that he or she never anticipates that the same senti
ment might exist to have their own activities, such as
law-making curbed.
Possibly it was this thirst for regulatory statutes
that prompted the Tokagawa Shounate of Old Japan to
“throw the book” at their subjects in the form of even
designating the manner in which a man should smile
to his superior or inferior, the class of work he should!
perform, the number of doors and windows to his j
house, what he should eat or wear .
We are prone to look with horror upon this degree j
or extreme of regulation for one’s private conduct, yet j
there is not a day or an hour in which you may not \
3iear scene man or woman say:
“There should be a law-”
Now we can come to the defense of the sourdough
who wipes his fingers on his trousers leg. Back in the
.sixteenth century even the royalty of Europe ate with
their fingers and Charles XII, of Sweden, buttered his
■bread with his thumb and wiped it on his hair.
Old Diogenes would adore this yarn from Memphis: j
Robert Boyd, a city fireman, was "knocked unconscious j
m an automobile collision, and came to later to find his j
roll of money gone. Next day a stranger wdio had pick-1
ed it up located Boyd and returned the roll intact. It;
contained $1,900.
It came to the ears of this editor yesterday that j
we took an editorial wallop at Wickersham recently. |
The report is untrue. It has not been the custom of this j
paper to take a “shot” at any one wihout naming names,:
and as far as Wickersham is concerned, we wish him |
luck.
There is one redeeming feature about Chicago, it]
has a strong influence upon the lead market. i
“It is well for a man to respect his own vocation,.
whatever it is, and to think himself bound to uphold it j
and claim for it the respect it deserves.” —C. Dickens.!
—
Sourdough Bill, the well known member of The j
Gateway staff, announces his intention of heaving his j
parka into the general election believing he will win in j
a walk the office of ‘snooping the snoopers.’ Be sure |
and cast your vote for this fearless champion of the i
rights of Alaskans and peons. j
The severest critics of businessmen are “intellec
uals” who got that way at colleges endowed by business
men.
Since the world is so avid for excitement, why not
stage a gangster battle at the forthcoming Chicago
world’s Fair?
It is proposed to abolish the duty on hexamethyle-;
netetramine. The present tariff is based, we assume, on |
so much per syllable. In this connection what about i
antidisestablishmentarianism ?
It seems that the only chance President Hoover has
to secure a seat in the Bureaucratic Ananias Club is to!
go fishing and accumulate a “line.”
A man boasts that he lives in Chicago. Something |
to boast about.
CHIU !TES
(Special correspondent)
Moose Johnson was quite busy
I last week entertaining the boys
I with music and good eats while
| they were away from their trap
i lines. Moose has the main camp
jout in this district and he says

Roy and Elmer Boideker came
out from their trap line on Portage
creek last week and spent two days
with Moose Johnson’ at Chulitna.
While here the boys shipped their
winter’s fur catch to Seattle. Their
catch was pretty small, as they only
shipped 10 weasel, four mink, one
lynx and eight wolverines—about
$230—for their winter’s work, and
a year ago they shipped $2,000
worth of fur from this same dis
trict The boys are now moving
their whole outfit from Portage
creek to Chulitna.
Adolph Erickson, trapper and
prospector on Pass creek, came out
and spent two days with Moose
Johnson last u'eek. Mr. Erickson
has caught seven weasel, five mink
and one wolverine so far htis win- !
ter.

and roasting ears, and all kinds of!
fresh vegetables now, and she wish- i
es to be remembered tc all her Al- i
askan friends. Mrs Stevens is the'
only woman to have taken up and.!
finished the mining prospectors

Moose Johnson. Mr. Herdman stat
ed that he hadn’t caught any fur s<
far and was wishing the beave;
season would open so he could ge
I grub money to stay in the hills thi:
summer. He had bad luck a yeai
[ago also and he worked all Iasi
[summer for grub stake and spent
it on his trap line and now he say*
he has to lose another summer ir
working for wages again.
The long cold snap has made a
lot of extra hard work for all the
section crews from Curry to Heal?
as the track is heaving up all along
the division and keeps the crews
busy fixing up and putting shims
under the rails in the bad spots.
Mr. Miller, the popular agent at
Broad Pass, is on the job again
after spending his vacation outside.
He reports a good time while there
but is glad to be among his friends
and back on the job again.
