TIME TO HAVE A TERRITORIAL PATROL
Among the matterr which should engross the Dele
gate to Congress is that of establishing a constabulary
for Alaska. The measure offers an opportunity for in
troducing economies and would fill a long-felt want.
Alaska is not in need cf criminal law enforcement so
much as it is in need of a service capable of functioning
•ike the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Such a service
would keep men isolated far from civilization in touch
with aid in case of mishap or sickness, and could render
a thousand services now imposed upon personal friends.
There is no reason why such organizations as the
Alaska Game Commission should not be abolished, and
work of game wardens be given over to a constabulary.
The same economy could be. practiced with respect to
fisheries patrol, U. S. Commissioners at outlying points,!
tax collecting, and so on. # j
If Washington is sincere in its present desire to ef- j
feet economies and to its duties toward Alaska, many
consolidations should ensue, and the savings cut so as to j
allow more funds for road building, etc.
After all we’re still a frontier country, you know,
where men still look each other square in the eyes and
sometimes, spit in one another’s eye, if they feel like it.
Fairbanks wants the railroad kept prepared to
transport troops and ammunition to the Interior on a
moment’s notice. Nothing like preparedness when the
boys begin scrambling for political jobs under the new
administration.
Maybe what caused the Oregon sheepmen to hold a
convention last week was an effort to discover how their
wool turns into jute and cow hair after it leaves the sheep
to be made into socks.
An Idaho school superintendent says the Eskimos
are good musicians. What he actually heard was the
queen of the igloo shying pots and pans at a bunch of j
howling malamutes and mistook it for a new jazz.
One Senate clerk was discovered packing a “gat” for;
another. Which may lead to Senator Blah arising with a
handful of hardware and shouting: “all in favor of the
bill say ‘aye;’ opposed reach for the ceiling.
If that row over making Admiralty Islands a brown
hear reserve keeps up much longer Llie bears threaten to
leave and find some quiet place for a snooze.
Wisconsin has elected a street cleaner to the Legis
lature. Nothing like employing expert help for a nasty job.

Now it is up to you to be on hand '
at the Liberty Theatre Friday even
ing, December 16, and try and fig
ure it all out.
And you’re not going to do it. j
This is what the author of “The
Outcast” provided in the clever, in
vigorating manner in which he,
wove the skein e-nmeshing a series
of clever situations, any one of
which in itself is a bit of welcome
tantalization as refreshing as it is
entertaining.
“The Outcast” involves many of
the elements of “The Admirable
Crichton,” while a't the same time
transcending its plot by keeping
the morsel of mystery rolling under
the tongue and the appetite whet
ted for more.
As promised, you are going to see
two young stars, who emerge in a
constellation of equally brilliant
luminaries, which cause loyalty to
alternate and switch with such
startling rapidity as to keep you
keyed to the nth degre of anticipa
tion.
When it is announced that “The
Outcast” will be presented by a
well-balanced cast it means that itj
comes to you as a finished product, i
with no defects hidden by a coat of
paint, like a new touring car, whosei
engine’s purr is equal to the beau
tiful stream-lines, and which just
dares you to take a ride.
