ARE STATESMEN EXTINCT?
L. i
Europe does not seem to be making rapid progress
in straightening out its many tangles. Europe in gen
eral, and England, for example, has found itself en
meshed before, and no further back than the days of
Queen Victoria.
Guizot, reviewing the progress of civilization up to
his time, thought that great men were not responsible
for it, to any marked degree; yet the reader of Victorian
annals cannot escape the conclusion that the hands of
such men as Palmerston, Peel, and even Disraeli, were
neither idle or useless.
What such ministers would do, under present con
ditions, is problematical, but one sometimes is con
strained to think Europe remains in a jam because the
race of elder statesmen has become extinct.
Mayor Walker of New York has proposed what ap
pears to be the only effective plan for curtailing the ac
tivities of gunmen. He has instructed the police to
shoot to kill. As Sir Walter Raleigh said about the be
heading axe, this is sharp medicine, but a cure for all
diseases. Doctor Walker has a bad disease to cure. Few
will cavil about his prescriptin.
Secretary Lamont says business is slowly beginning
to improve. No one will question that the adverb “slow
ly” is well chosen.
Purple lips is not an unhealthful indication these
days in Alaska, hut one of vigorous appetite—eating
blue-berry pies.
Among its other wonders, California reports a fish
that lays its eggs on the branches of trees. Almost any
thing interesting may be believed of California, but this
seems too much, on the face of it. Note, however, tjhat
the branches must be broken off, and under water.
Lindbergh’s boy is a year old. There is nothing un
usual in that. It had to happen. His chief claim to
notoriety lies in the fact that he has carried the Lind
bergh name for a year, without being given a medal or
a college degree.
************
If the number of men engaged in record-breaking
airplane flights increases in its present ratio, the prob
lem of unemployment will be .well taken care of before
Jong.
Between Fascism, Bolshevism and Americanism, we
choose the latter every time, regardless.
The place to take the true mleasure of a man is not
the market place or the forum, but at his fireside.
Education is no substitute for work. It only en
ables us to direct our work more intelligently.
Keeping money in Seward means raising property
values and helps in the upbuilding of Seward.
Buying in Seward means your money will be work
ing for Seward instead of working for some other city.

ALLEGED JEOPARDIZE
ALASKA GOVERNMENT
A. C. Faith of Cordova, speaking
before the Cordova Chamber of
Commerce meeting recently, re
ported that Representative Gib
son, chairman of the House com
mittee on Territories, after com
pleting a tour of China and Ja
j pan, which incidentally included
the Philippines, planned on urg
ing the passage of legislation to
place all the Territories and in
sular possessions of the United
States under one executive de
partment of the federal govern
ment.
Pointing out that this would
mean that Alaska’s government
would then be even less directly
and intelligently administered, he
urged that every member of the
chamber actively study this pro
posed change, and personally rec
ommended that the chamber op
pose any such change, according
to the Cordova Times.
