THE" GATEWAY’S UNEMPLOYMENT SOLUTION
Lifting of the prohibition laws would overnight put
millions of good Americans now unemployed back on
the payroll. Liquor couldn’t possibly make the country
any worse than the past and present moral, criminal and
unemployment standpoint.
There isn’t a line of industry under the flag but
what wouldn’t benefit. Instead of the government float
ing 50 billion dollars worth of bonds, a few strokes of
pens, costing nothing, would snap the nation out of the
present depression, one of the longest experienced in de
cades, and with the country back at work the majority
of national problems would vanish.
This is no rank “brain child” but a practical and
immediate remedy of national ills. Certainly there can
be no moral argument for the moralists have had years
in which to experiment and what has it brought?
Chaos!

A THOUGHTFUL ACT
A thoughtful and kindly gesture of sympathy and
understanding was paramount in the arrival in port
Sunday front its work in the Barren Islands area of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey auxiliary vessel Westdahl,
L. D. Graham, commanding, which brought Mr. Aquino, a
member of the crew and father to seven-year-old Tony
who was drowned Thursday in Harriman Lake, the
local “swimmin’ hole.” The grieving father was thus
permitted the opportunity to be with his family during
the funeral Sunday.
Now that the Seward breakwater is nearly 99 per
cent complete, it is time for the city to make it 100 per
cent perfect by the construcion of a small vessel float
or dock and appropriate roadway on the breakwater
proper. Unless a dock is built down there and ingress
and egress made, small vessels will continue to moor
and load at the present location.
Now that the summer's work is nearing an end,
many who came North from the States to make some
easy money will fold their tents like the Arab and make
an inglorious departure back to their so-called God's
country. However, there is this miuch about it; in time
the desires to return to Alaska will be so urgent they
will follow their natural bent and come back; if so, they
are hooked. So perhaps after all, like the old axiom,
there is a little something good in everything.
America and Great Britain give more attention to
athletics and sports than do other nations and these two
countries represent the highest type of modern civiliza
tion. Jack will work pretty much as he plays. The
Olympic games were the nursery of Grecian glory. They
made possible, the Field of Marathon and the Pass of
Thermopylae.
The trouble with India for the last several years
and the reason she is a thorn in the side of Great Brit
ain, is that India desires a constitution similar to the
United States. Well, all we have to say is that India
must be a demon for punishment.
Alaska, like the land of the Pharoahs, is overrun
with pests disgusting parasites. We have references
to those who have been in the Federal and Territorial
employe these many years and who have not invested
a penny in Alaska.
Only four more months from today and then Xmas.
Cheerio!
