SHADES OF LENIN
* * * “White Russia,” whose dynasties were es
tablished by the same class and type of people that inhabit
this country. In the end it brought about the destruction
of the Russian empire, the killing of Czar Nicholas, 'the
mildest of men/ a trail of bloodshed, suffering and chaos,
the establishment of Communist Russia at the cost of
2,000,000 lives.”—Delegate Sutherland, speaking before
the Legislature.
In other words, Mr. Sutherland says the government,
or those who disagree with him, represent organized gov
ernment, regardless of its inequalities, while he himself
epitomizes the force which will bring about the condition
c 'ferred to in the latter part of his rhetorical flight.
MR. SUTHERLAND’S FAUX PAS
In his effort to create race prejudice by stating that
opponents of the Controller bill were descendants of “To
ries of sons of some Latin race/’ identified with the Am
erican revolution, Delegate Sutherland committed a faux
pas which justifies delving deeply into the matter of what
he calls the “psychology of sycopancy.” Mr. Suther
land should be familiar with his subject matter, being
born of United Empire Loyalist stock in Canada. The
United Empire Loyalists are the opponents of American
Independence who fled to Eastern Canada rather than
do battle for the American cause, and there continued
their labors for the defeat of George Washington.
The most interesting question in connection with
Delegate Sutherland’s warning to the members of the
Legislature not to break bread with the Juneauites in
their homes is: “Who fed him that mess which gave
him his chronic dyspepsia and soured his judgment and
disposition?”
Alaska’s court jester says the syren voices of Juneau
sang in his day: “Run, run, Dan for tucker; you’ll be too
late to get your supper.”
Since it has been disclosed that the government is
adding prussic acid, strychnine and Cobra venom to the
liquor supply permitted by law, there is little wonder that
Mellon shies at the stuff and goes to France to get a
drink.
Dan Tucker might have got spiflicated, but he told
his troubles to a policeman rather than to the Legislature.
An inventor says he is building an airplane with fold
ing wings which may alight upon a handkerchief. When
he gets one that may alight upon a lady’s party dress he
may begin to brag about the minimum of dimensions.
Gauged by past and current biographers, there was a
marked contrast between what Daniel said while in the
lions’ den and what Dan said to the sealions around Ju
neau.
With Congress fortunately adjourned and incapable
of interfering maybe Admiral Williams will be able to fin
ish the little Chinese-American pot-shoting war and get
ack home to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Great epochs in Biblical and current hustory: Dan
in the lions’ den.
One can hardly blame Coolidge for deserting the
farm for the Presidency, but the trouble is, there are not
not enough sinecures outside of the bureaus to give Si
Perkins an even break on a political refuge.
It would appear that Alaska's most distressing in
ternal problem is its Legislature.
ARCADE BIRDER SHOP AND
BEAUTY PUR OPENS
Announcement is made in another
column of this issue of the opening of
the Arcade Shop and Beauty Parlor
in the location formerly occupied by
Mrs. Reid’s Beauty Shop, in the Ar
cade building. The proprietor, Jesse
Lander, who has been conducting the
O.K. barber shop for the last year,
moved his entire equipment to the
new location yesterday, and this morn
ing opened for business.
“I doubt,” Mr. Lander said this
morning, ‘‘if there is any shop in the
Territory which excels ours either in
appointment or location. The heat
and hot water problem, the bane of
all barbering and beauty parlor es
tablishments, is entirely overcome
here owing to the exceptionally splen
did system which is installed through
out this modern apartment house and
business structure. Then we are in
direct line of all pedestrial traffic, in
coming and outgoing, which is a de
cided advantage.
“We anticipate we may serve our
many patrons better than ever. We
feel certain our new quarters will be
much more comfortable, which in it
self means better service.”
Two barber chairs have been placed
in a prominent positio, with the beau
ty booth occupying a the space along
side. This arrangement leaves ample
room in the main shop for a comfort
able arrangement of chairs for pa
trons. In an entirely separate room,
leading off from the shop, the tub
baths and showers furnish the second
unit to the modern tonsorial shop.
Mr. Lander stated that Mrs. Reid,
who has gained a considerable reputa
tion as a beauty expert, will be a
member of the staff.
