BUY ALASKAN
Radio listeners have been hearing Broadcast Station
X N X of Los Angeles advocating “Buy American,” dur
ing the past week.
Why not start a campaign “Buy Alaskan” for Alas
ka! The idea is not new for we have many times in the
past editorialized on the same subject. With the policy
that has been existing for the last 10 years on govern
ment work that nothing in Alaska is good enough, we
think it is timely to copy K N X and start a “Buy Alaska”
campaign.
Insidious prepoganda has been spread by Federal
employees that nothing Alaska produces is good or worth
anything; particularly does this apply to governmental
work. Our timber is no good! Our cabbage is no good!
Our potatoes are no good! Our coal is no good! In fact, if
some Federal carpet-bagger had charge of our gold
mines, he would probably advocate closing it down be
cause our gold was no good; providing he could draw his
pay without working the mine.
Let’s try and get together and start a “Buy Alaskan”
campaign and ccmpell these carpet-baggers to buy Alas
kan products where-ever possible. Locally, the present
tie situation gives us an excellent opportunity.

WHY MEN LOSE FAITH
A fortnight ago a mere youth in California stole a
package of cigarettes and was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
Simultaneously a banker, John F. Davis, of Spokane,
Wash., was in trial for having illegally extracted $200,
U00 from the defunct American Bank, was convicted and
sentenced to from six months to five years in prison.
In the case of the California youth he might be com
pared to a narcotic addict, having, as all men know, the
burning desire for a smoke. In the Spokane case probably
1,000 frugal people who had entrusted their savings to
the American Bank, found themselves penniless—may
hap some to enter the bread lines, a charge upon others j
equally sorely pressed for money and necessities of life. I
The youth did not have $200,000 with which to em- j
ploy astute lawyers nor like Davis was he prepared to :
follow his example and take his case to the supreme
court. In all likelihood Davis will find some vulnerable
spot in the law to escape its meshes. This is usually the
case where men have filched large sums from the trust-!
ing public.
Men like Hamilton Fish are shouting from house
tops that reds must be suppressed. Every demonstration
by an exasperated public is branded as Communism.
It will be interesting to watch how long this condi
tion of rich men escaping the law and mere children in
carcerated for what amounts to petty larceny will endure
before the last atom of faith in American legal institu
tions is obliterated.
It is not the hungry public that is to be feared, it is
the man whose sence of decency and justice grips him
and impels him to wipe out this condition at any cost.
If the writers of cigarette advertisements will hurry
to Washington with their cameras before Congress ad
journs they might pick up some splendid illustrations of
•‘Nature in the Raw.”
Among laughs that hurt is the laugh to cover a hurt.

Editor Seward Gateway:
Dear Editor—I wish to call atten
tion to a glaring example of the (
smug complacency and rule-bound
“efficiency” of employees of the Al
aska Railroad.
On November 28 Mr. Gill, station
agent at Matanuska, received a tel
egram for me stating that my wife
was dangerously ill and asking me
to return to Minneapolis at once.
The Northwestern sailed from
Seward on December 3, which gave
j Mr. Gill plenty of time to locate
me and make it possible for me to
J catch the ship. However, Mr. Gill
elected to be bound by the rules
strictly, and deposited the telegram
in. the mails without making the j
importance of its contents known
to anyone.
I have it from Mr. and Mrs. j
Krogh, who run the store and post- 1
office at Matanuska, that had they |
known of the urgency of the mes
sage and they would have arranged j
have it delivered to me on time, or!
failing that, would have brought j
it out themselves.
My homestead adjoins Mr. and!
Mrs. A. A. Shonbeck, near Palmer,!
and everyone with the exception of i
Mr. Gill knew where I was.
The result of this piece of “ser-!
vice” is that I received the message j
several hours after the Northwest-1
ern left the dock, and lost 10 days
not to mention my faith in hu
manity as well.
