THE OTHER SIDE
Perhaps the greatest bar to the acquirement of real
knowledge is the refusal of the average person to look
upon “the other side” of a question, particularly one that
smacks of political intrigue. But in today’s dispatches
from Washington in which Basil M. Manley made public
a telegram in which it was urged Judges Reed, Ritchie
and district attorney Shoup be replaced immediately ow
ing to conditions growing steadily worse in Alaska, the
average person will laugh with much gusto, so easy is it
to read between the lines.
Who are these reputable republicans who sent Mr.
Manley that telegram? Who are those detainers of Alas
ka’s fair name? Where are the so-called intolerable con
ditions in Alaska which are steadily growing worse?
Gilmore is a staunch Sutherland supporter and—
OH BOSH!
BOILING POLITICAL POT
The political pot is boiling in many parts of the coun-1
try, including Alaska, and as might have been expected,!
reports indicate that here and there some scum is coming
to the top.
EXPERT TESTIMONY
Another record America holds is that of spending
the most money on a man before hanging him.
JAPAN’S NEW POLICY
# Japan, it is formally announced has reversed her I
emigration, policy. While a good many Americans are
still apologizing for the action of Congress in so brusque
ly ending the Japanese-American “Gentleman’s Agree
ment” on immigration, the Japanese announce they will
keep their people at home to develop their own posses
sions. Surplus population from the home islands will be
encouraged, to go to Formosa, Hokkaido and other Nip
ponese territories. Tokyo announces the old policy of
sending Japanese where they were not wanted led to
trouble and bad feeling and will be dropped. If the new
plan is carried out, the drift of Japanese to South Amer
ica will be checked by special legislation.
They come in outlandish shades now, making them
look like the last hose of summer.
WHICH IS A DIG AT SOME PLACE
Utopia is a thoroughly mythical country in which
one amendment to the Constitution is as good as another.
A DARK OUTLOOK
If France ever pensions her former premiers, we’ll
never get that four billions she owes us.
QUICK RESULTS ASSURED
The Hungarian government has 10,000,000 bottles of
wine they would like to dispose of. Considering our ex
perience, they might pass a law making it a crime to drink
wine.
ONE TROUBLE WITH PRIMARY
One trouble with the primary is that too many voters
have plenty of time to express their opinions of candid
ates, but none in which to go to the polls and express their
choice of them.
BALDNESS AND BRAINS
We learn something new every day. Thus a scientist •
has discovered a close kinship between the loss of hair and
the growth of brains. That is to say the bald-headed man
is more intellectual than his well-thatched brother. Per
haps, perhaps. But the bald-headed men have still to prove

AUSKA RAILROAD
EXECUTIVE ORDER RESTORES
TRACT ALONG RAILWAY TO
PUBLIC DOMAIN
Restoration to the public domain of
a tract of land on the east side of the
Susitna Valley, in Alaska, originally
set aside as a townsite along the
right-of-way of the Alaska Railroad,
was authorized in an executive order
just issued.
The tract, known as the Susitna
Townsite, is several square miles in
size. When withdrawn in 1914 at the
time of the. beginning of the construc
tion of the Alaska railroad, it was
expected that a town would be located
there and that it would be used for
other purposes in connection with con
structing and operating the road. Re
cently, the general manager of the
Alaska railroad reported the land was
no longer valuable for townsite pur
poses and no objection existed to res
cinding its withdrawal.
As a result, the tract will be open
to homestead entry with preference
right to ex-service men except as
against prior existing rights. The
executive order was issued on the 1
i
recommendation of the Secretary of
the Interior.
The following description of the j
tract is as follows: ■

A romantic love story of a South Sea Island girl who comes to Cali
fornia and is swept away by all the wonder of the new life, but re-;
turns to her home with a great longing. The touch of comedy that is
mingled with the pathos makes this a very interesting picture.
