MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU WAKE UP?
In all celebration in which a whole commun
ity participate?. it is customary for the commer
cial bodies to lead. That is to say. they invar
iably take a leading part. They arrange for
the sports and all other divertisemer.ts. pre
pare for the reception of visitors, etc. For all
such purposes, they appoint committee? who
work : ogether to one end. which is to furnish
amusements to all. Bearing that in mind, is
it no: time that our Commercial Club should
wake up and take notice that the Glorious
Fourth will so. r. be here. It is coming fast,
and considering the enormous amount of work
that should be done to celebrate the day beffit
tingly. let us give our indolence a recreation by
putting it : w rk for the occasion. Mr. Presi
dent of the Commercial Club, will you please
wake up?
BE CAREFUL
Be careful that you do not speak ill f your
neighbor. However he may be. remember that
you are no: perfect yourself.
Hold on to your temper when you are pro
voked, because it is your temper that makes
you swear and speak harshly of your neighbor.
Check it -:r anchor it just the same as you
would check or anchor your feet if you were on
the verge of sliding down a precipice.
Hold on to your judgement of others, be
cause whatever difference may exist between
you and your neighbor’s judgement, there is a
reason, and for you to say that he is wre r.g and
you are right, is allowing your judgement to
|T6t sway.
If we were more passive and less positive:
if we were more generous and less conceited:
in other words, if we were broader minded, we
would live much more in harmony, which should
be the aim of as all. But—
A NEW PUBLICATION
The "Business Chronicle" of the Pacific Nor
thwest, a new weekly publication has jus: reach
ed us. Volume One Number One was issued
Jur.e3. and thereafter will be issued every Sat
urday. Edwin Serein is editor and publisher,
with offices in the Alaska building. Seattle.
Wash.
The aim. :’ the Business Chronicle is best
: hi by e.:.::r :r. the following: "T : Chrcr
iele with Accuracy; Review with Intelligence;
Interprete with understanding the things which
pertain to the business life of the people of the
Pacific Northwest; to. at the same time, provide
a means by which people in other parts of the
world having interests actual or prospective
here, may keep i» touch with this section of the
United States, so clearly destined by inherent
richness and fortunate geographical position, to
a great development; these are the purposes of
the Business Chronicle."
The new publication is well edited, well made
up. and is bound to become one of the most fav
orite channels through which the busniess world
can obtain general information.
MORN1NGSIDE
t Seward Post!
Another effort is being made to force the covert,
cier.l to obrog.ue its contract with the Morningside sani
tor: ur.t for the care of the Alaskan insane. and she Post
desires to do what it can to remove this blot from the
Territory.
in civilized lands it has long been the custom to re
move tie care of invalid and insane people b> the state
as far front politics as poss'.bie At best the care of
sane people *s an unpleasant task and with the ver> l est
of quarters, re.xim-asr, of attendants, finest of ntedtcai
and surgical • tv.tpntent. an insane asylum is a place to
svosd
But the Alaska insane are used as political pelf to
fatten the pockets of a slick and oily Oregon politician.
Now. it is possible that through some misfortune your
wife or your husband may become insane. A jury has
no other recourse than to declare a demented person
insane and in due course of time the patient is delivered
at Momingsid
The writer has visited this place several times and
also the stat- asylum* f kilifornia and Oregon. There
.s no r»ru for ctmparison. The states institutions are
cleanliness itself ami it is a noticeable fact that with the
exception of the desperate cases all inmates seem con
tented. The Moraingside institution is a horror and a
disgrace, so much so much so that ever so often the
people of Portland have tried to get rid of it. But the
wiley politician who runs the place is too powerful poli
tically to be budged It is -qaie common to hear the in
mates a: the widows screaming to get out. You would
probably scream too. if you found yourself locked up in
a hall pen with a bench of real maniacs just because
you became ill while in Alaska and an all seeing govern
ment had pro. fded so other care for you except Mom
ingside And if you were not crazy you probably would
be soon.
FRONTIER LIFE DISAPPEARS
(From Leslie's)
There is still a seen delight la watching the rapid
obliteration of -'roctier life The frontier town began
with a few scattered dwellings cn tie outskirts and then
a single block or two of cheaply built frame structures
running parallel with the railroad. In other days the
first sign one saw on the frontier, and the largest, was
'Sal-ton next in ordeer Hotel." then "Restaurant'
Sank . : J '. :■■■ . - Real 5s tate N
no frontier town, however small is without the datest at
traction of “Kc-mlg Pictures." and. thanks to the devel
opment of g*xd reads ana of the automobile industry,
the largest -:p now supplanting Saloon is the word
"Garage.” In the tackbroand taay be seen the steeple
of a church tut yon will .always, no matter how small
the town may be. see the Amercas Sag that 5i-s in front
of the American school house. That Sag is always in
sight, even when the porch of the church is below the
sky line.
