THOSE CAMPAIGN PROBERS
We Alaskans have been reading for some time now
of these alleged Senators who have recently been turnec
into investigators. Especially have we been scanning the
news columns daily to see what new stunts they coulc
dope out to investigate. To us it would appear that one
half of the United States officials are set in watching: the
other half.
This perhaps is a good time to call attention to the
publicity which members of Congress are able to obtair
for their own candidates, without expense to themselves
but at the expense of all the taxpayers. We refer to the
wholesale distribution of the Congressional Record, fillec
with political propaganda, sent through the mails to the
chosen few without payment of postage. Hundreds oi
joke books are sent to Alaska and have started many
fires in the old cook stove.
Many of the politicians indulge in this method of cam
paigning, which gives them a great advantage over oppo
nents who have not the privilege of an official frank. It
is just as reprehensible to abuse the franking privilege
as it is to spend large sums of private money. It’s graft
at the expense of the public.
Mining is a fortune-maker when given a chance.
The good prospect is worthy of thorough develop
ment and this development can only be accomplished by
well-organized company work.
The only solution we have for the much debated
question is that the marines are in Nicaragua to see that
its rebellion is conducted properly.
When a bomb goes off during a political speech in
f hicago, it is considered the same as a comma. If it hits
the speaker it’s a period.
This being Leap Year, the office should seek the man.

FAMOUS HORSE FANCIER OF
SEWARD DESCRIBES ROUND
TRIP TO SEATTLE
,(By Sol J. Urie)
The S. S. Starr left Seward and took
the Court people to Cordova in good
shape. And then started off for Ket
chikan and of course the S. S. Starr
kept up to its usual reputation and
tried to fight the rough weather out
in the gulf, but had to give up and
anchor off Kyack Island for about 24
hours. Finally landed in Ketchikan.
Everybody on board enjoyed the
trip except the ham operator (radio)
and the fish enjoyed his trip—and
how! Seattle next stop—arriving
there on May 2. Beautiful weather
and sunshine until we departed on
May 15.
The good ship went in dry dock and
had her face lifted and a Bonicella
special and whatnot in general until
one could hardly recognize her.
Seattle is just Seattle. It’s a nice
place and everyone seemed busy as
a hen scratching for worms.
To> one wrho lias not visited the Out
side for over five years the most in
teresting thing was the Vitaphonne
or talking moving picture which sure
ly is a wonderful thiing. Then the
automatic telephone causes quite a
bit of astonishment. Of course the
traffic situation is more then embar
ratsing but the traffic policemen are
on (the job and give one a good talk on
jay walking.
The S. S. Starr left Seattle bound
for Uganik to the Westward with a
cannery crew and quite a few pas
sengers. The most famous Skipper
of the seas and one of Seward’s most
noted citizens, Capt. Johansen resign
i
ed his posiiticn as Master of the good
old Starr and went back to the North-,
land. Probably to smoke his pipe and
enjoy life or perhaps to venture into,
! more interesting adventures on the 1
!
; Alaskan waters. Who knows?
! The new Master, Capt. Barron has
: sailed the seas for nearly 40 years i
! !
i and is a man that is well liked by j
(everyone that comes into contact with!
| h'm, and' it is hoped that he guides;
j Hie Starr thru many voyages, pleasant!
| nd successful.
j On the trip back home, Old Man
; Neptune just did his darnest to make
I things as miserable as possible but.
| the ship just shook her head and fore
| mast and other things that a ship pas-:
| teesses and went gaily along, and a
good time was had by everybody but
the passengers.
' One of the .famous remarks heard
i j
I aboard the boat was that oldtime song,;
“Oh how I love the old ship STILL.:
But no luck, she just ploughed along!
I
as though nothing were wrong.
There were a number of passengers;
bound for the Westward points, andj
also some Signal Corps (men who will
open a new radio sta/tion at Billing-!
ham. The Starr also had ‘her full!
capacity of freight for the Westward |
points.
■ |
To the many who have not been.
Outside for quite a few years, the
changes that are noticed will cause,
quite a bit of astonishment, but there
is one thing lacking in the States that;
we have plenty in this country and;
that is elbow room, and lots of fresh!
air, and that is something to be thank-;
ful for; another and most important*
J thing is the way people act. In this(
country one meets the .most congenial;
people no matter! where they1 are trar.'
1 ing but Outside it is quite different,
