RESPECTABILITY
The great trouble with reformers such as those
sponsoring the prohibition laws and pressing for addi
tional statutes for the purpose of keeping man on the
straight and narrow path, is that the full force of these j
movements is directed at some trivial eustom or action, i
almost obscure in its importance until magnified bv the
“Save-Alls.”
While millions are being solicited from well-inten
tioned persons in support of these reforms, it is signifi
cant that neither the exhorter or reformer goes bevond
the insignificant man in the street in search of someone
to save.
The wires are burning up with news of a sudden
upturn in the stock market, indicating that the old gang
of arch-gamblers is again creeping forth to repeat the
game of shifting the shells.
This, most vicious of all gambling, has not as yet
received the attention of the Anti-Saloon League, or Bi
shop Cannon of stock-gamblng fame. And all because
it is from this source the easiest picking come for the
reformers. It is something like religious cults having a
Hindoo complexion. The over-rich fall for it with the
same avidity as the hick-towm plutocrat falls for the
Wall Street game.
.Neither liquor or any ot the complamed-of vices of
gambling such as horse-racing, faro, roulette and other
proletarian pastimes, has wrought the havoc which has
followed in the wake of the stock market. Neither is
there anything devised by the seekers of suckers, from
the shell game to deliberate wild-catting stocks, which
contains as many vicious and dishonorable angles as the
stock market game.
Disclosures of how the game is banked, the percent
ages taken and the crookedness behind it all, now being
aired in Congress, should be sufficient to warn any man
of ordinary intelligence that he has no more show of
winning than a jackrabbit it a pen of hungry wolves.
It ought to show the average man with surplus cap
ital that the place assuring the best chance of great re
turns is right at his back door, especiallv in pioneer coun
tries with natural resources.
If each communty had pooled its capital and set it
to w^ork on the things which affect everyone, individual
ly and collectively, there would be no bread lines, seekers
of alms, or middle-class bankruptcy.

HOPE; ALASKA
ALASKA MAY NOT
SHARE IN FUNDS
The Alaska Territorial Chamber
of Commerce, with headquarters at
Juneau, has dispatched a number
of telegrams to the mayors or the
Chambers of Comerces of Alaskan
population centers seeking to have
concerted requests made to Wash
ington for Alaska’s share of the
| federal allotment of public works
relief funds as provided for in the
| National Recovery Act.
This action resulted from the ex
pression of some Territorial offic
ials that Alaska would probably not
share in the allotment of relief
funds.
The Territorial Chamber has re
quested that the various Alaska
Chamber and civic units compile
estimates of worthy projects and.'
ask President Roosevelt for an al
location of funds for these projects
immediately.
