CONFIDENCE
A small word, but one which touches the mainspring
of national and social life. It reaches from the White
House, down thru Congress and reverberates in the
homes of the most humble and reflects itself upon the
man in the street around whom a sombre cloud of mis
giving has been draped these many years.
Without confidence of the people President Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt could never have set into motion
such revolutionary procedure as has characterized his
brief administration and which has electrified and thrill
ed the world.
The happy equation in the new dictatorial situation
is its benevolent nature. It is the confidence in the man
which enables everyone to accept his mandates willingly
and with the comforting knowledge that it is all for the
best and promises much for the immediate future.
No nation may hope to exist without a symbol—-a
leader who gathers his force thru his personal magnetism
and who carries the confidence of those whom he leads.
In his peacetime crusade we have a recurrence of
other crusades, all of which were directed to re-enthrone
the Christian principle of fairness and honesty in our
dealings with each other.
Time has proven that wolfishness, chicanery and
immoral practices in business have brought in their train
a deluge of woe and misery.
- Whether we like it or not, we are beginning to learn
that the old precepts of the Golden Rule are as immuta
ble as time.
What has happened in the brief period of Mr. Roose
velt’s administration is nothing new. It is merely a res
urrection of those vital principles and precepts which had
/een submerged under the worshp of mammon.
The Governor «eUs us nobody can say what might happen within
the next GO days. Oh gwan, serve out the term until a successor comes.

Instead of asking Washington to allow Alaska to
call bank holidays why not ask for an embargo on gold
leaving the Territory?

Sine- Governor Parks is apprehensive as to what will happen with
in the next 60 days, il' it will relieve his mind we might say that there
will be a general exodus of prospectors to the creeks and somebody
will make a discovery that will make his eyes bulge out.

A Kugiiiok trader complains that the sourdoughs
have been swindling him by sneaking his butter and re
placing it with gold bricks.

Sourdough Bill, who was kidnapped from the Porcupine City sub
treasury and held for r. ransom of 50,000 fishtails, was released yester
day and returned to The Gateway office as soon as the kidnappeis
learned that the bounty on fishtails had been discontinued.

Prince Rupert suggests printing a salmon on its
script. A sucker might be appropriate for those who wish
to play Wall Street.

Sourdough Bill was hailed before the Porcupine City Council be

It is dictinctiy understood that Alaska’s call is for
diggers of gold, not gold-diggers.

Now it’s just possible that all this national enthus
iasm and rapid-fire action in Washington is the result
of Prohibition Dree tor Woodcock’s order to let every
body have a drnk. • I

Just as a suggestion to those intensely interested in
