WHAT IS COURTESY?
We can well understand that men in public life weary
of a continual round of receptions and welcomes and ban
quets and long for sequestered quiet, but still they art
frequently public servants dependent upon the salary
the public pays them. If perforce they must be dragged
forth to tell of their observations or researches, it woulc
seem they should do it smilingly and gladly because that
is the price they must pay.
Of course all the United States wanted to know whal
Secretary Jardine of the department of agriculture thot
about Alaska after his recent visit, and particularly die
thev want to know in Seattle, the gateway for our Ter
ritory. This plaint from theSoattle Star can therefore be
appreciated:—
“Official Seattle could feel lately for the certain bib
lical personage who had to go out into the highways anc
bywavs to find successors to his missing luncheon guest
“Caterers had a • delicious meal ready at the New
Washmgtoon hotel. Local prominent citizens had care
fully memorized speeches of welcome. But the guest oi
honor, William M. Jardine, secretary of agriculture, was
speeding East to Washington, L). C., by train.
The luncheon was to go on anyway with Jardine’s
aide's, Henry O’Malley, fisheries bureau commissioner;
Dr. Paul Redington, chief of the biological survey; Dr.
H. W. Alberts, agronomist in charge of Alaska, and C. R.
Pollock, local fisheries supervisor, representing the miss
Ing honor guest.
“It's getting quite the tiling among national figures
to let Seattle reception committies cool their heels or
make excuses. ■&.' IMH
“In recent weeks, Mayor Jimmie Walker of New
York Citv has told parties, including Seattle’s mayor,
that he’d rather sleep than acknowledge their welcomes.
Col. Charles Lindbergh, no later than last week let of
ficials crane their necks and swallow their chagrin and
forget their long wait at Boing airport while he made an
unexpected landing at Sand Point. And now comes Jar
dine to land in Seattle from the fisheries bureau boat
Brant at 11:30 p. m. and leave for Washington half an
hour later. Jardine returned here from a tour of Alaska.
