“THE” ISSUE ARRIVES
Whatever truth there is in the aphorism that “all
things come to him who waits” there is no denying that
fatelias been exceedingly kind to the nation's galaxy of
protean artists going to make up “the greatest show on
earth,” i. e., its national politicians.
Here they have been eavesdropping, studying the
planetary system and consulting astrologers in search of
an issue, when lo! it springs up like a mushroom over
night.
The great issue is, “Who is a Liar?” or “Who is the
Biggest Liar in the Nation?”
* "All of which is eminently fitting in this day of “dd|
your stuff.” We have champion pole sitters, champion
hog callers, champion stutterers, champion spaghetti cat
el’s, prune eaters, egg suckers, ad nauseum. Why not
have a champion liar?
On this momentous question may hang the fate of the
nation. It gives Secretary Mellon a chance to escape from
the thraldom of champion tax dodger and shy his hat into
the lists as the candidate of the American Legion, who
claims he qualified when he claimed there was not money
enough in the Treasury to compensate the boys for war
service. It gives every member of Congress a chance to
return home and say to his constituents: “Well, we have
arrived in the list of big shots in the political racket !l
“Forget about such things as prohibition, birth control,
financial panics, world court, League of Nations, the Sino
Japanese fracas, debt concellation, reparations, racket
eers, teething babies, bunions and warts.”
The Gardiner-Hoover thing comes as a manna from
heaven to the political racket. It lacks in comparison to
the Capone brand in that it guarantees equitable division
of the spoils without mussing things up with undignified
carryings-on. Sub-machine guns and pineapples may be
put back on the shelves and each man may manufacture
poison gas without running afoul of the Briand-Kellogg
peace pact or the grape brick statute.
It should be received with open arms by the drys in
staving off the second prophesy of Noah thus, allowing
the Kansas drought to take care of the threatened deluge,
and stimulate business activity in converting the liquid
flame throwers of the wrets into sulphurated hydrogen
gas.
It is forecast that Capone will pool his interests with
certain Wall Street bankers in the event of this new
championship being embodied into the ethics of the nation
and thereby prove that lying to the income tax collector
was nothing more than a qualifying round for the Big
Time class of disciples of Ananias.
If it so develops that lying is considered bad form, il
indicates that we are swinging back to the Victorian eve
during which a man was not permitted to lie even to his
owm wife.
For once both rings of the national political circus
will have the same campaign song:
“Somebody lied . . .
“Somebody lied to me, etc. . . .”
The greatest danger of the campaign lies in resurrec
tion from the League of Nations, some paragraph making
the thing international in its scope. In that event th<
framers of the Versailles treaty could swamp the wrorki
with champions and take the cup back to- Europe, leaving
11s nothing better than a bunch of second-rate fibbers.
REAL ALASKA PUBLICITY
In a recent edition of the New York Times, Rev. Ber
nard R. Hubbard, head of the Geology Department o
university of Santa Clara, now nationally known as th
‘‘Glacier Priest,” due to his remarkable explorations i]
Alaska, is given a full page in the rotogravure sectioi
in which pictures in all fields are reproduced.
The New York Times has the largest circulation o
any newspaper in the world and it is conservatively esti
mated a full page in the rotogravure section is worth a
least $5,000. Thus, Father Hubbard has procured for A1
aska, more worthwhile publicity than all other agencie
combined. And in the meantime, he is giving dozens o
lectures throughout the nation.
WESTWARD RESIDENTS
j TO DEPART FOR HOMES
1 WITH PHOT BARNHILL
.j _
The distinction of being the first
i airplane passengers to leave Sew
; ard in a plane based at Seward will
I probably go to Marshal and Mrs.
W. N. Reed, of Naknek, and J. D.
j Kinney, of Iliamna.
Marshal and Mrs. W. N.~ Reed,
prominent residents of Naknek,
were arrivals on the SS Victoria
today from the States where they
have been on a brief vacation. Both
Marshal and Mrs. Reed are well
known to Sewardites, Mr. Reed at
! one time being a resident of this
, community. They both have sig
j nified their intention of flying to
their Bristol Bay home with Pilot
W. H. Barnhill, in the Barnhill and
McGee plane, which arrived today
on the SS Victoria.
J. D. Kinney, of Iliamna, is the
; third passenger who has signified
| his intention of making the first
i flight with Barnhill out of Seward.
! Mr. Kinney has been confined to
j the local hospital for some time
! and has now improved sufficiently
! to be able to return to his fur ranch j
| on Iliamna Lake.
Because there is not sufficient j
snow' on the Seward field to permit
: a takeoff with skiis, it is thought
j that Marshal and Mrs. Reed and
| Mr. Kinney will be routed by Pilot
Barnhill via Anchorage where skiis
; will be put on the plane.

PILOT VALLEY ARRIVES
Pilot A. J. Valley, well known
Alaska birdman who has been with
the Gillam Airways, flying out of
Cordova and Valdez, accompanied
by Mrs. Valley, arrived in Seward
on the SS Victoria today. It is
thought that they will make their
home here, as Mr. Valley will prob
ably be associated with the Barn- ■
hill and McGee flying operations
out of Seward.
The SS Victoria is scheduled to
sail for the South at 11 a. m. to
morrow, according to a marine bul
letin posted by the local office of
the Alaska Steamship Company.
i Charles Nelson, Lat|ouche resi
! dent, is a visitor in Seward while
the SS Victoria is in port and will
return to his home on the South
bound sailing of that vessel.
Irving McK Reed returned on the j
SS Victoria from Juneau where he
attended conferences of the Alaska
Game Commission. Mr. Reed is a
commissioner of the Game Com
mission for the Fourth Division and
is enroute to his home in Fair
banks.
W. T. White, animal husbandry
j man, with the Department of Agri
■ j culture, is due to arrive in the city
. I on the train tonight from the
I Matanuska Agricultural Experi
jment Station, enroute to his Ju
' j neau headquarters.
; ROUND-TRIP VISITOR
Mr. Kipper, representative of the
Alaska Steamship Company, was a
J round-trip visitor on the SS Vic
toria which arrived in port this
i morning. This is Mr. Kipper’s first
| trip between Seward and his head
_ S quarters at Seattle.
