WHICH IS OF MORE IMPORTANCE?
With regard to the recent order protecting seal lions
and walrusses the question arises which is of the most
importance, collecting a few specimens for museums, or
maintaining the world’s food supply? Everyone seems to
know that sea lions are very destructive to salmon; that
they eat their weight in fish every 48 hours.
If you got the “heebie jeebies” we would suggest you
take a few days off and go out to Lawing and snare a
few of those rainbows.
WHERE DO THE CRITICS DRAW A LINE?
A slip of memory or other mistakes by a journalist
generally subjects his newspaper to ridicule or to a more
serious action for damages. On the other hand a judge on
a bench may be guilty of the grossest error of official
judgement, yet he is above criticism, although he has had
all the time and opportunity desired to study the case.
It won’t be long now—Miss Spring is about jo start
her show. We would rather get all the rain together, such
as the past few days, than scattered thru the beautiful
drys coming. “My gosh, hasn’t it been pouring!’’
A SERIOUS LOSS TO ALASKA
Seems rather strange that Alaska, one of the richest;
metal mining countries on the globe cannot secure suf
ficient appropriations to continue of the office of metal
mining engineer. The Geological Survey in Alaska need
hundreds of thousands of dollars more annually to carry
on their work. For years they have been handicapped for
lack of funds. And now they are compelled to let out J. G.
Sheppard, due solely, according to the Juneau report, be
cause the department has not suffifcient appropriations
to continue his office.
A fine state of affairs. Too bad it isn’t a “pork barrel”
proposition similar to the Boulder Dam project.
Home is that grand old place where you may do as
you please so long as it pleases everyone else in the family.
Cigarette prices have been reduced, giving the poor
a chance to become opera singers.
We see by the paper where Juneau officers have rec
ommended Fairbanks, Anchorage and Ketchikan for
machine gun platoons and rifle companies. We hope they
get them.
Nearly everybody knows the saxaphone was invent
ed by Adolph Sax, but no one knows why.
Song one never hears in Chicago: “Yes, we have no
pineapples today.”
Now they want to discard calling small newspapers
country newspapers. We feel rather proud of the name.
