The Juneau Dispatch says the liateway made a good
suggestion when it pointed out that the people removed
from the beach might get some free lots after all their
time waiting, but it may be said now that the land depart
ment probably waited for no suggestion before giving
every facility to the people living on the beach to secure
sites for homes.
This should be remembered by other towns also. Lots
were sold here for virtually nothing to accommodate the
oldtimers and the low prices should not be taken as indi
cating lack of value. After all, giving a lot for $25 is giv
ing it away. In a lot which is 50 by 100 feet in area there
is room for a little garden as well as the cabin, and this is
an addition to what the beach sites contained so that the
site may really be said to have been given free of charge.
This phase of the government lot sales shows clearly a de
sire to follow a generous policy, a policy which will be the
best for Alaska.
The style of writing and public speaking has changed
wonderfully in the Tinted States even in the past fifteen
years or so. The bumptiousness and high falutin rot is
disappearing and clean-cut nieuiods are gradually coming
into general use. This is noticeable even in Alaskan news
papers and Alaskan political speaking. It is not so very
long ago since a public speaker depended on spread eagle
ism and the newspaperman gave his time to hyperbolical
rubbish that had about the same effect on a weak stomach
as a rocking ship. All the world has changed in this re
spect. If Edmond Burke rose in the house of commons
today to deliver his greatest masterpiece no one would list
•n without smiling. Nowadays a speech in a great legis
lature is apparently a work of simplicity. The thoughts
are expressed in the simplest and most direct manner, and
e same holds true of the greatest editorials. But this is
not really simplicity. It is actually the highest form of
art. That’s what fools all of us uninitiated when we gaze
at a great painting for instance. It looks too simple and
so does the great actor. Apparently there’s nothing dif
ficult about it. That is because art hides itself. This is
not, however, saying that Alaska speakers or newspaper?
are artists. But they have really got as close as they
could to art by showing more commonsense.
Greece is now in the position of a man who owns a
house which lias been taken in front bv one bunch of burg
lars and occupied in the rear by another bunch of the same
genus. He does not want to tight with either because it
would make an enemy of the other and both bunches are
sicking him on. The fact that thev are burglars never
seems to worry the intruders in the least.

Most of the gridiron candidates
