HOW TO GET RESULTS
Congress has passed a bill giving the President power
to appoint business managers for Alaska.
President Coolidge has signed the bill and will soon
name the men.
These will need the eo-operation of every Alaskan
who is loyal to the Territory and its glorious traditions.
The greater this co-operation, the quicker will come
the results that are to follow.
With this idea in view, the Gateway invites everyone
who has pondered the situation to write their views in a
concise manner, in about 200 hundred words, which we
will be glad to print. If some rule or regulation stands
in the way of your success, point it out and suggest a rem
edy. Do not criticise unless you have some plan to offer.
Put yourself in the managed place and remember their
responsibilities and the rules governing their conduct.
By the time the business managers come to Alaska,
let us be organized and put this force behind them.
It is worth the effort.
On two occasions it has been reported that chickens
have found gold nuggets in the placer regions, which goes
to show that some chickens have more courage and fore
sight than the youth that is afraid of a pick and shovel
unless he can use it from the seat of a gasoline-driven ve
hicle, while wearing leather leggings and a silk shirt.
Now that the Agricultural Department has worked
out “hog astronomy” whereby the Iowa pork producer
may determine the price two years hence by gazing at the
stars, the Bureau of Fisheries will go it one better and
spend a year studying the Alaska small herring to de
termine why nature tied his bones up in bunches.
A United States Senator proposes a law to make it a
“federal” misdemeanor or felony to interfere with or kill
a federal officer, which means one more technicality as to
jurisdiction and one more loophole for the much-abused
criminal to escape.
It is now announced that a survey will be made of
the working women of the nation. What have the girls
been holding out on us?
With Chile entering the field with its annual spring
practice it would appear that the South American Revo
lutionary League series has opened.
There is no denying that Christianizing the heathen
has its advantages—it has taught him more ways of kill
ing his neighbor than he knew before.
What's the matter with Borah? Almost a week has
passed without his getting at the top of the column on
the front page wuth a scare head.
There is one advantage in the troubles in China, the
Chinese bands will be kept at home until after the jazz
<?raze dies out.
A European scientist says it requires a monkey farm
to create a super-man, while in the States it requires only
one flapper to create a super-monkey out of a millionaire.
CANTONESE MEET WITH
REVERSES IN BATTLE
LONDON, Feb. 12. (£>)—An Ex
change Telegraph dispatch from
Shanghai says the Cantonese are meet
ing severe reverses before the renew
ed drive of the Northerners. Mar
shal Sun’s troops are reported to
have advanced within 20 miles of Han
chow.
DRIVE UNDER WAY
PEKING, Feb. 12. (/P)—Allied war
lords of the North have begun their
long expected drive to hurl back the
Cantonese invaders into the South
land. The struggle is to determine
control of all China. Northern troops
are advancing to recapture Hankow
from the Cantonese who have been
using the city as a central base.
