Si:\\ ARD, ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 27, 1916.
People have been under the impression that Alaska’s
legislature would have money to burn this year, but re
vent computations indicate a horse of a different color al
together. The fisheries interests have not yet paid their
taxes, in spite of the court ruling, and will probably not
pay them until they have carried the matter to the United
States supreme court itself. The territory now, it seems,
has only about a quarter of a million to the good with a
lot of expenses to meet. Some think there will he nothing
left in a few months.
The giving of Christmas presents is a very pleasant
custom. Those who like it must find a lot of fun in it. It
is the i icest thing in the world to find a package and to
have the sensation of wondering what is inside. It is just
delightful—hut giving a present is a different thing alto
gether. It is not the money presents cost, maybe, so much
as the awful heart burning to know what sort of a present
to send. You cannot send one too costly or you’ll embar
rass the recipient, and it feels like the mischief to send
something that looks cheap. The best way to overcome
this is to let people understand you are too sensitive to
send anything at all. Let them know you are too big for
such trivial matters.
The present emperor of Austria went to the public
schools of Vienna with the humblest companions and has
never since forgotten his schoolmates. And all this in
spite of the fact that the house of Hapsburg is the most
ancient and "proudest" of the reigning houses of Europe.
Even at receptions in his palace at certain times he has
had some of those old mates in the uniforms of private
soldiers as guests. How different it is in some “demo
cratic” countries where the officer is feted and the private
is despised. How different is the snobbery in some small
town when a body of fighting men arrive and are received.
The more one thinks of the idea of the government
selling whiskey in Seward after seizing it somewhere else
the more does the wonder grow. Let us suppose the
practise became general. In that event we should have
regular whiskey market days as other towns have pig
markets. Who ever got the idea, anyhow, of taking
whiskey from saintly Anchorage and feeding it to the be
nighted people of Seward? What brilliant government
mentality conceived the project ? But that’s what you get
when a government begins selling lots and things. Give
it the selling habit and you can never tell.
