ALASKA’S SECOND ARMY OF PROGRESS
Today 14 young men and women will receive diplo
mas from the Alaska Agricultural College and School of
Mines. The degrees will range from business administra
tion to civil, mining engineering and chemical science.
Thus is added another unit to the rapidly enlarging
army of young men and women into whose hands the fu
ture of Alaska rests.
In addition to the perfection the college has given to
these native sons and daughters, it imposes a responsi
bility upon them—the responsibility of bringing to bear
of these talents in car lying out the second chapter in !
Alaska’s social and material progress.
To date every graduate of the college has made good j
m some especial line of endeavor. This is because their
studies have been conducted in an environment minus |
the many diverting agencies besetting the student in the |
more thickly populated States. It is for that reason that
the graduates of the Alaska College have acquired great
er maturity of thought than their fellows in other insti
tutions of learning.
Another remarkable fact in connection with gradu
ations from the college is that all of the recipients have
been sons and daughters of poor men—working men. The
course followed after leaving college, and which has
awakened deep admiration for the graduates, shows the
measure of appreciation they feel for the sacrifices and
efforts of their less fortunate parents.
All of which goes to show that each Alaskan boy or
girl’s destiny is in their own hands, regardless of the*fin
ancial position of their parents, and that it is only thru
the portals of learning that the trail to exalted heights
lead. ,, ;
SPRIGGING THE SCANDAL MONGERS
The last resort of the man who loses an argument is to indulge in
personalities. With the politician, it is scandal monging.
Apparently a small coterie of disgruntled pseudo-politicians down
Ketchikan waC have resorted to the time-honored practice of charac
ter assassination with Senator Anthony Dimond as the target.
To those who knGw Senator Dimond, even to his political oppon
ents. accord him the reputation of an impeccable character.
It is fortunate that personal attacks emerged, and at a time when
an effort is being madd by the voters to select a man for the Delegate- |
ship in whom they have confidence, whether he be Democrat or Re- ;
publican.
Senator Dimond put his position succinctly when he stated in his i
Juneau speech: "I do net ask anyone to vote for me on account of i
personal friendship, but those who believe I would make the best Dele- j
gate to Congress.”
Thus what was hoped by the scandal-mongers to be a blow to his i
candidacy, rebounds as a boomerang. It is a pretty good slogan for all j |
candidates. If the voters will use this gauge rather than personal friend- !1
ship. I j
Seventy-four per cent of the ex-service men who ob- M
tabled farms under provisions of a federal act are oper- j

have had no previous experience. j '

The London Times says that English women's feet are becoming j i

A truck, upon which is superimposed an airplane for !!

how to get them back on the farm—simply by putting a !
plow behind the truck. ' * !
