NOT A BAD IDEA AT THAT
A wag recently suggested tha tthere wTas merit in
the suggestion that Alaska be made a penal colony.
“Just suppose,” said he, “that they emptied the fed
eral penintentiary of such men as Doc Cook, Morse, and
other frenzied financiers, who have been guilty of noth
ing aside from crudeness of business methods, but not
actual criminality, sent them to Alaska and told them to
stay here! Think it over. They have not been guilty of
any rough stuff like picking pockets, cracking a man over
the head with a blackjack, or sticking a gun under his
nose to make him stand and deliver.
“There is too much of this cleverness being wasted
As we are now an effici'yicy nation, calling for things in
business and government which once have been the signal
for organizing the vigilantes in the Dawson days, what
would be wrong in living Alaska a few of these geniuses,
instead of locking them up?
“Think of these men, with all our great natural re
sources, every one of them having real merit, getting to
gether and going after capital to develop them!
“These men are nothing more than good gamblers.
True thev have put over some big humbugs, but-how
many will live to reap a profit on lots in Las Vegas, Ne
vada, and some of the ghost townsites strung out all
over the United States and Canada?
“Give us these geniuses and we will not worry
whether TTncle Sam knows we are on earth or not.”
Might not be a bad idea at that.
Expert surveys made at Washington, D. C., during
the recent sessions of congress show that that city vies
with all others for the title of air capital of the U. S.
The Denver Post offered Mr. Coolidge $75,000 a year
to become its editor. Just horning in ahead of us.
Every person in business in Seward should also be in
the business of boosting for Seward.
It is not slapping on the back everybody you see,
but feeling like it that counts for success.
Chicago should establish another Loop district, with;
the loops around a lot of bandit’s necks.
