ROBERT FROTHINGHAM’S ADDRESS
There s much food for thought in the masterly ad
dress by Robert Frothingham of New York, at the week
ly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce, an account of
which appears in our columns. We are, each and every
one of us, inclined to get ‘so close to the trees that we
can’t see the forest.” Our judgment and our conclusions,
both commercially and socially, are bound to be faulty un
less we make some real, wTorth-while effort to get the
other man’s view-point. We like Mr. Frothingham’s use
of the word “preachment”. His was a sermon that every
man in Alaska could have heard with profit. Listen:
“The average business man is so much in the habit of
regarding his business from the inside, looking out—that
he forgets all about how things look to the people on the
outside, looking in”.
That applies to all of us. The difference between the
two ends of that statement finds its expression in the
Golden Rule. Only when we put ourselves in the other
fellow’s shoes and make an honest effort to get his point
of view can we hope to come anywhere near that age-old
“preachment’’.
Then, again—the idea that every man, woman and
woman and child throughout the Territory is a “sales
man” is one to make us stop and think. Are we just
“putting over” Alaska as an exhibition of smart and clev
er tactics, socially, politically and commercially, or are
we really interested in getting down to brass tacks with
our neighbors and visitors and putting our cards face up
on the table? What sort of an impression are we leaving
with men who come up here and spend their money by
die thousands? These are the things that matter to Al
aska and Alaskans. These are the things that count.
1 es—we need to get on the outside every once in a while
and take a good long look on the inside. It may have a
tendency to make us more considerate of the other fellow.
It’s a good thing for us to have men like Robert
Frothingham drop in on us and give us a different slant
on life. We commend his address to our readers all along
the line. His is a constructive mind. Incidently, he con
fided to us that he “finished school” at the ripe age of 14
years, since which time he has made his own living.
When a man with a back-ground of a half-century can
hand out the kind of real stuff that Mr. Frothingham
did at the Chamber luncheon, it would appear that he
had made good use of his time.
More power to him. May we have a few more like
him to come around and stir us up to a reasonable appre
ciation of our own possibilities.
Scientist have been unable to determine what causes
sleep. Some preachers are also puzzled over the phenom
enon.
The commandment ‘‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’’ is a bit old
fashioned, having been given before motor cars were in
vented.
A psychologist declares that America has 10,000,000
morons. Among whom, we suspect, are a few psycholo
gists.
There are more than 600 sextillion possible combina
tions of the letters of the alphabet. Stenographers have
discovered them all.
We trust that the reorganized Radio Commission
may assign all the static to stations which broadcast punk
programs.
The Alaska criminal insane will probably hereafter
be sent to Washington, says a dispatch yesterday. A lot
of dirty cracks could be made from that dispatch but use
your own judgment.
