SCRAPPING MEN IN THEIR PRIME
Sufficient time has elapsed for a correct idea of the
effect of heralded new ideas in business and social con
duct. Gauged by what the nation faces, most of these
theories or ideas are all wet.
Take, for instance the system of scrapping men at the
age of 40 years, and the substitution of “young blood” in
business and in the field of labor.
The sum total of this product is a mess of woes never
before experienced in the nation. All of which goes to
show that a mere college diploma, gained amidst a ple
thora of confusing theses, does not suffice. Experience
must go with it if success is to be achieved.
The same applies to labor, technical or otherwise. A
man might know the geometric exactions of an intricate
machine. He may even be capable of assembling it to
work with perfection. But just wait until something
happens which he could not have foreseen. It is then
that “Dad,” who has the advantage of ripe experience, is
necessary to occasion.
Youth is always invigorating, but there are limita
tions to which it may be entrusted, save in rare instances
where natural genius has created some especial article,
not hitherto utilized, or where the original idea may be
enlarged upon.
The nation cried for scrapping the “musty” tenets of
iStory and philosophy. It must show the world that the
voice of the sages was but a hollow echo. Again a deluge
of moisture.
A proverb says that out of all bad there comes some
good. If for nothing else this bad is productive of con
vincing a few people who have handled the helm that to
sail around the horn of the business and industrial sea,
requires an old salt who may smell weather and antici
pate shoals by instinct.
We will doubtless be a chastined and better world
when the clouds lift. Instead of setting the clock ahead
to save daylight, we will turn it back it back a few hours
to tried and proven systems.
The carpet slippers now worn by “Dad” will feel very
comfortable to his son, with his bunions recruited on a
hard road of experience.

—
There are a lot of fishermen in
l the Bristol Bay district as well as
■ other Westward ports and, also,
j there are plenty of reds showing
I up, according to Capt. Arthur
| Ryning, master of the SS Starr,
| who returned to port today from
the first trip of the season to Ber
ing Sea and Bristol Bay.
Fishing opens in Bristol Bay on
June 25 and, with the exception
of the Northwestern Fisheriees, all
plants will operate. The North
western Fisheries are, however,
leasing their boats out to fisher
men.
At False Pass, where fishing be
gan May 28, 1,000 cases were park
ed in two days by the P. A. Harris
plant; this was a test or prelimin
ry pack. At Squaw Harbor, the
same concern packed 100 cases of
reds the first day.
Wm. Studdard, superintendent
for Skinner & Eddy, was due to
arrive at Sand Point the latter
part of last week. The floating
cannery, Santa Flavia, A. H. Brad
ford, is now at Dillingham.
C. P. McKinley, of the United
States Geological Survey with resi"
dence in Washington, D. C. arrived
in Seward Ion the SS. Admiral
Evans and is enroute to the Mc
Kinley Park region where he will
carry on topographic work of the
Geological Survey. Mrs. McKinley
is accompanying her husband.
The Alaska Railroad has just
