I
Today is Sunday, the 12th of
July, 1931. I say this because
Nature is beaming its most excep
tional and glorious beauty in Sew
ard, Alaska. Nowhere else, when
mere existence is considered,
could it bring milder sooth and
comfort. Of the landscape in de_
tail I shall not talk here, because
in spite of it I am sad, even
morose, pining to give such feel
ings expression.
Yesterday I had one of my many
dsappointments of old age. I lost
perhaps my last chance, when
sorely needed, to make an honest
dollar.
As I meditate I pick up the
“World's Work.” On the inside
cover a full page advertisement
iof the Prudential Insurance Com
|pany of America catches my eye.
1 Its artistical merits are indeed
j striking. An old man is presented
with two heavy walking canes,
which he evidently needs to steady
his faltering legs. Above looms
jthe inscription: “The misery of an
jold man is of interest to nobody,”
I b£low, “Life insurance will help
you in your old age—if you keep
your policy in force.”
At a glance, thought flashes
l through my brains. The very
spark of human life commercial
ized! The picture is a warning.
It calls up before'your conscious
ness a very unfortunate man, that
has seen better days, now fore
lorn and hopeless. How he has
managed to look as respectable as
he does, the picture does not tell.
Of course, he ha*s no insurance
policy. The terrible indignities he
jhas been through might easily be
i imagined, as life now presents it
1 self. The picture plainly suggests,
that his friends left him, and that
there is no help except through
insurance. Human selfishness
makes this claim pretty night
right.
Charity is an insult to any man
ly heart. The toleration of philan
thropy, that of a private Red
Cross included in all its activities,
should have been suppressed long
ago. It is the last song of a de
caying social system, full of graft
land injustices. What civilization
! needs is a sense of duty to make
| the old worker feel that he de_
j serves to live. As it is now, an
|old man without means, not willing
to stand for all the indignities
society sees fit to subject him to,
has no other resources than to die.
It is a terror to meditate upon
these conditions.
A carefree old age, as Cicero had
it, should be the happiest period
of our lives, full of meditation and
wisdom. When our present social
system dies, old age will be looked
after.
The Alaska Legislature funds
always seeming short, is a scream
of a cruelty to the old pioneer,
as I layed before the public a few
days ago.
I would like to live to see the
new' hopes come true. My hopes
are favored by Prance. She is do
ing exceedingly well. Just let her
go to it for a while and we shall
see the wonders. No fear any
warning is taken.
