INCREASED REVENUE
Mayo (Y. T.) silver ore is once more be
ing shipped to the coast via the Alaska Rail
road. This is nice business and serves not
only to swell the annual revenue of the rail
road’s coffers but also creates additional
work for many men in Seward. No doubt
Lake Labarge on the upper Yukon was still
frozen at the time shipment was made fromi
Dawson.
POSTAL RATES
There’s something like a climax of bu
reaucratic arrogance in the Postoffice de
mand that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall pay no attention to the pleas
of newspaper publishers in fixing the rates
for carriage of mail matter on which post
office rates primarily find their sanction.
Everything is possible in Washington from
the news eminating from that source to Al
aska the past few months.
NO TRUTH IN REPORT
There is no truth in the report that a lo
cal citizen made the remark last Saturday
he wished he had a ton of dynamite with
which to blow up the gas car that arrives in
town simultaneously with the arrival of a
vessel. At least the report could not be ver
ified yesterday?
THE LAST DAY
On the morning appointed for the last
resurrection St. Peter will call the Angel
Gabriel to him and ask, “Have the report
ers been notified?”
“There is a battalion of them already on
the ground,” the angel will answer.
“Are your radio operators ready?”
“All standing by.”
“How about the motion picture photo
graphers?”
“The last one is just setting up his cam
era.”
“And the aviators?”
“They are rarin’ to go.”
Then will St. Peter say, “Gabriel, blow
your horn.”
A RULE OF GRAMMAR
There is a rule in grammar which forbids
us using a preposition to end a sentence
with. This rule was smashed to smither
eens by a little sick boy we were recently
told of. He had expressed a desire to have
“Robinson Crusoe” read to him, but his
nurse got “The Swiss Family Robinson” in
stead whereupon he exclaimed petulantly:
“What did you bring me that book to be
read to out of from for?”

But what a cute idea of passing the buck
that is!
NEVER DEFEAT!
The Pittsburgh Gazette Times is of the '•
opinion it must be pretty hard for a defeat- l
ed candidate to admit he was licked, but
does he? So far as our observation goes a
candidate doesn't admit defeat for himself;
he merely concedes victory for the other
chap.
If Congress really wishes to do something
for the farmer, why not forbid dieting.
