LET'S GET LIT UP
In years past when we might have been even worse
off in wordlv goods than we are now, we used to have
a Community Christmas tree blazing forth its cheery
message. Why can’t we have one this year?
All the situation lacks is a little cooperation. There
is nothing that so contributes that element of jollity,
good will and peace as well as general happiness, as a
big tree all lit up and sending forth its message to rich
and poor alike.
Lots of people may get lit up on Christmas but
they won’t shine much. Let’s concentrate, brothers, let’s
concentrate.
NONE TOO OLD TO LEARN
Among the old ideas that have been exploded by j
scientific research is the belief that soon after mat- j
urity one’s ability to learn is seriously lessened. In fact,
it is suspected that the plea of “too old to learn" was
invented for those too lazy or too indifferent to try.
Persons who have attained marked success in any
calling which involves much mental effort have been
obliged to go on learning from year to year in order
to keep abreast of new developments. Many have
changed to an entirely new line of work and have won
distinction in it after reaching middle age.
We are willing to bet a new “cady” that when the
Alaska Railroad Senate Investigating Committee turns
in its report, there will be nothing in it to harm any
point along the rail belt but on the other hand, will
be for the immediate stimulation of those things perti
nant to increasing tonnage. They came to Alaska to
help, not to wreck.
Folks who are intelligent enough to master a lot
of big words should also be intelligent enough not to
use them.
About eighty million swine are killed in this coun
try every year, which number unfortunately does not
include—well, you say it.
Seward, it would appear, is due for a boom in the
spring. Offhand, we would say, there will be a couple
of hundred more men working in this immediate area
next summer than last year.
A British spiritualist claims to have talked with
the late Lord Northcliffe through a medium “lying in
a trance.” In this case the verb “lying” seems right.
It will be comforting to baldheads of Alaska to
know that a new hair tonic made from bear grease, is
said to contain no barium, pyrgallic, anacaradium or
phenylene-diamine.
