JO'ftX NOON IN BOSTON
(Special to the (iateway)
Last Friday night John Noon of
Seward addressed a great gathering of
Boston people. Among those present
were a majority of the Massachusetts
congressional delegation. Noon stating
in a clear forcible manner, the plain
unvarnished truth, regarding condi
tions as they now exist in Alaska,
gave territory and Seward the
most important boost in their history
After listening to Mr. Noon with in
tense interest from the time he start
ed to speak until he finished the sec
retary of the meeting at the complet
ion of the talk read the following re
solution;
“Massachusetts now, as always, op
poses injustice. Massachusetts tonight
joins hands with Alaska. “The resolu
tion was read and passed by the great
gathering of people, who rose and
stood in absolute silence. After the
passage of the resolution Chairman
(.■rinnell adjourned the meeting with
tiie words, “Massachusetts stands
pledged. It is enough. You may go.”
Mr. Noon visited Boston upon the
invition of one of the leading news
papers of that town, but by latev ar
rangement he was made the guest of
the various civic organizations of the
city, who acted jointly. Before leaving
Boston to return to Washington Mr.
Noon issoed a statement in which he
•aid th.\ he felt that the voice of Mas
sachlsetts would make political and in
dustrial justice for Alaska a certainty.
By opening up the resources of the
territory which were now conserved.
The present shortage of oil would be
greatly overcome and to a great extent
the shortage of lumber and coal. The
competition by Alaska of her product?
mould not be a menace to those inter
ests who were directly responsible for
the shackles" of Conservation which
now bind the Territory's resources,
but would on the other hand stimulate
a competition that would be beneficial
to all concerned. With a lobby in
Washington that clearly understands
eveiy phase of the subject the conser
vation boosters would have no backers
and would therefore be unable to com
pel congress to pass unjust laws.
Slowly but surely the Hand that;
writes is writing history for Alaska
that will eventually bring Alaska into
her own. And the Hand having written
moves on leaving in writing those
things essential to the welfare of the.
territory. But among those who scan
the Hand-writing are those who would
erase many things that have been re
cently written because it is 'to their
selfish interests to keep Alaska bound
up in Red Tape. The unwinding and j
discarding of this Red Tape will mean!
to a certain class of people, who are at i
present time mere Human leeches de- j
riving their nourishment from posi
tions scoured through political ap
pointment, Hie end of their gluttonous
siesta in Alaska.
John Noon of our own little town
of Seward is in Washington today be
cause a little handful of sincere Alas
kans dug up enough long green to en
able him to journey to the City of
Powerful men. He is in Washington to
i
tell these' same powerful men just
what is what regarding the things
Alaska needs and must have if she
is ever to become the Forty Ninth
State of the Union. The election of a
President , the question of a League of
Nations, the chaos in Europe and the
industrial unrest caused by the period
of reconstruction all fade for us peo- j
p'e of Alaska before the one big and;
important question, “Will John Noon
Succeed in getting for Alaska those
things we must have before we can
forge ahead?” The answer is this. He
will succeed if we can keep him there.
But he cannot succeed unless we arc
all willing to help ke^p him there by
contributing our mite to the fund that
is absolutely necessary to enable him
*0 ultimately succeed. The bill will be
a large one. Some of this bill Jias al
ready been paid by a small number oi
Alaskans. These men have done their
bit and are only too willing to continue
doing all in their power to advance the
cause of Alaska, but the burden is too
groat for a few individuals to carry.
They must have help. Are you willing
to help with a dollar or so to assure
iUe ultimate success of John Noon's
jc urney to the seat of the powers that
i be or are you willing that he should
rotarn to Seward and Alaska with his
| mission a J a: lure ?
)! you want to set* Alaska and Sew
ard forge ahead yoij will help renew
;he purse that* is rabidly becoming
empty and by so doing you will enable
1
John Noon to continue the good work
re has already done, which is more, to
date than that done by any other nutt
or bunch of men whom we have ever
sent to Washington from Alaska. If
1 you do not want .to see Alaska come
to the front and take her rightful^
place with the other states of he Un
ion, pass the buck and John Noon will
be obliged to return home with his
mission uncompleted. There is no If or
But or Why about it. It's a simple pro
blem in black and white. Are we Alas
kans to become known as pikers and
people who do not want or care for
die things worth while throughout ev
ery state in the United States or are
we going to demonstrate to the people
of the United States tha we are people
who DO know what we want and
who I>0 understand how to get it.
Most every man in Seward will raise
che ante in a poker game just to see
what the other fellow* is holding. How
nany of you will raise tin* ..
Alaska Publicity Game of Draw* Poker,
lou can see the hand that John ..soon
is holding. It will win the pot for you
all if you will furnish the money to en
able him to win all he can while he is
sitting in the game.

OP SENSE AND NONSENSE
CAUGHT ON THE FLY BY
“ THE HUMAN TOOTHPICK ”
Fellow came up to the office last
night and bawled me out about the
little piece 1 wrote in the local column
of yesterday's paper concerning th*
hunting ability of a certain Eagle. It
seems that the person who informed
me regarding the number of trophies
! * .‘cured by this New York gentleman
had slightly overestimated the prow-,
ess of the advocate of protection. The
iittle article stated that he was taking j
out two bear, three moose and several i
* ]
sheep. It should have read three bear j
ami two moose and several pictures of
sheep. Funny how the simple trans^
posing of some figures and the ab
sent niindncss of a man who forgot
to mention photographs in connection
wilh the sheep almost got me in Dut
I eh with a local fellow who is a good
scout. I explained the matter to him
as well es 1 could and apologized for
stepping on his toes. He left appar
ently satisfied, but 1 have a sneakin’
idea that, lu still thinks I was trying
• •* k
t'.» harm him personally, when in real
ity l was simply trying to proect
him and his fellow guides from these
E’istern Eagles who w'ant to conserve
tlie'wild game of Alaska for their own
selfish interests. 1 apologize to him
again here and hope that he is broad
minded enough to read between the
iir.es. Nuff said.
The rain that fell all last night and
continued to tall today melted the
|sno\V half way up on Marathon moun
tain. Almost tlje first of November
and regular Spring weather.

DISCUSSION REOPENED

HUNGER STRIKERS
4
PARIS, Oct., 26— The, long hanger
strike af the late McSwiney of Cork,
has caused much discussion here as to
how long it is possible for u man to
fast. Dr. Socquet has told the Paris
Midi that the record is 68 days without
food set by William Granier in 1881.
“Granier had been sentenced to
death and was confined in the prison
of Toulouse,” said Dr. Soccquet “He
had a horror of the guillotine and to
. .. *«.
save himself from death by that in
strument determined to starve which
he cl id after 63 days.
“Many hunger-strikers have lived
longer than could have been expected,”
he went on. “There are the cases of
Tannr, Succi and Merlatti the latter
of whom starved for 48 days while he
• lost one-quarter of bis weight Tayi^r
\ *olls cf the case of a worker who wu*>
imprisoned in a mine for 60 days
with* ut fc od. He lived three days after
his rescue and died us a result of be
ing excessively fed. Many lunatics!
have refused to take food for 20, 301
or even 40 days. j
“No rule can be established as to
length of time a man can fast. His;
endurance will depend upon his pre- j
/ious health, his constitution and also}
upon his spiritual condition which is
very important. It is well known that \
u straving man may increase his en- \
durance a great deal by drinking wet- j
er.” I
