GIVE A CALF ROPE
The recent debate in Congress on Alaska road appro
priations, with Delegate Wickersham—a visitor in Sew
ard this week—standing by his guns and waging a val
iant battle for justice, and Representative McDuffie of
Alabama and Representative Simons of Nebraska, alter
nately in the role of Judas and Pontius Pilate, offered an
edifying example of what ignorance obtains among mem
bers of the nation’s governing body.
Among the things Mr. McDuffie told Congress was
that there were times (he was told) when the Alaska Rail
road was compelled to purchase Canadian coal for oper
ation .... that he did not know what income the govern
ment receives from the seal rookeries.... that he did not
know how much the United States receives from Alaska
annually. That “there is some business carried on in the
Territory in the way of fisheries” .... that “we have al
ready spent millions of dollars in building roads and
trails over which nobody, or a few people travel.”
While men are groping for an answer to how the
United States became embroiled in its mesh of over-lap
ping statutes, like a salmon rolling in a net, the entire
subject appears to be embodied in the word “ignorance.”
There was a time when the Old South supplied the
statesmanship of the nation; when its ethics and morals
were the hall-mark of culture and knowledge. But how
the mighty have fallen. Such men as McDuffie, standing
on the floor of Congress and confessing his ignorance of
the vital matters with which he is called upon to deal by
legislation is enough to make Jefferson, Washington,
Hamilton, Roosevelt and Wilson, turn over in their graves.
Of course Mr. McDuffie did not succeed in accom
plishing what he set out to do, namely the abandonment
of Alaska. But the time consumed at a time when the
urge was for expediting relief legislation to stop the cry
for bread, the cluttering up of progress led by men of
learning like Garner and LaGuardia, offers a clear index
to the laxity of the people of the United States in choos
ing law-makers.
If for no other purpose McDuffie is a valuable asset
to Congress in the contrast he offers to what should con
stitute a member of Congress.

TO THE RESCUE
MUKDEN, Manchuria, Sept. 12.—
Fifty Japanese soldiers were sent
to the rescue, at Kaoling, of two
British citizens who were seized by
bandits near New Chang. The Brit
ishers were out riding and had dis
mounted at an old race track to
change horses when the bandits
surrounded them.
The halibut schooner Attu one
of the finest vessels in the Alaskan
fisheries, is in port today from the
banks.

ALASKA—No. 8529. Cape Resur
rection to Two Arm Bay. July, 1932.
Scale, 1:80,000. Size, 28 by 37 in
ches- Price 75c. This new addition
has amendments made to the pre
vious edition throughout the chart
from surveys made in 1930 by the
U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey
and from other sources.
j Whether it was “mule” or some
i other form of medicine, is not
i known. In any case, the reader’s
| guess will probably be as accurate
i as the writer. In any event, of all
] the bird stories heard, the follow
! ing wins the hard-rubber frying
! pan.
The urge to go duck (not geo
duck) hunting descended on a lo
cal tired business man. So into his
car he staggered and out the Nash
1 road he bounced and sqeaked un
til a certain small marsh lake was
reached.
Falling out of th ecar the hunter
is alleged to have pulled out a sack
of decoys and placed them in al
luring groups upon the waters of
said lake. After that heavy exer
tion he crept back into his car to
wait the results of the “silent call.”
Mr. Hunter must have dozed, or
something—perhaps one snort too
many—for he woke with- the roar
of gun-firing in his ears. Casting
a glance at his decoys he was as
tounded to see them diving, turn
ing flip-flops and “what have you”
but not a sign of a live one among
them. “What’s come over me,” he
muttered, “have I too, missed one
boat to many?”
It wasn’t the potent stuff he
may have imbibed, but another
hunter swaying under a friendly
nearby spruce, who, seeing what
he thought was a flock of birdies,
had sneaked up on 'em from be
j hind and let fly both barrels.
I What the first hunter said to
the second, the writer also leaves
to the reader’s imagination.
TWO KILLED
LOS ANGELES, Sept., 12,—Two
were killed, a doctor and a nurse,
and two others injured when a
police and hospital ambulance
collideed at a street intersection. It
is believed that the sound of each
others’ sirens prevented the driv
ers from hearing the approach of
the other.
