Chester P. Mills, former Federal dry administrator
in the Second Federal Division, tells a few truths in to
day's paper which every thinking man, woman and child
has known for years.
WOULD HELP A LOT
IFe agree with Harry Guggenheim that some sort of au
” thority should be placed in the hands of Hoover to reg
ulate stunt flights and the men financing them for the
sake of the resultant publicity- The air lanes must be
pioneered, certainly, but scientifically. Attempts to span
the ocean by planes, since Lindberg won the applause of
the world, is becoming too much of a fad, and a danger
ous one.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
To one of humane tendencies it is distressing to wit
ness the utter disregard of animal suffering which is
shown by thoughtless or vicious persons.
Acts of unnecessary cruelty to dumb animals are an
indication of either a lack of education or a serious moral
defect on the part of those who practice them. Children
should be taught very early to treat animals with kind-*
ness. Without such teaching a child is very likely to de
velop cruel tendencies, particularly when the example of
unfeeling indifference is set by older persons.
As a prominent educator recently said, any system of
education which neglects training in the humane treat
ment of animals is failing in its duty.
We have noticed another thing: Any person who is
cruel to animals will bear watching in all his other rela
tions of life.
Uncle Jimmy Bates of Columbus, Ky.. is one old Con
federate who has never been “reconstructed.” When he
lost his belongings in the flood this summer and the Bed
Cross furnished him clothing, including several pairs of
nice blue socks, he roared: “I ain’t no Yankee; I never
wore the blue and never will.” So they rummaged
around and found him some gray socks.
The average person would say these ocean spanning
flights are foolhardy and the bunk, but not so. Someone,
sometime, has to do these very things now taking place
that progress may go forward.
So Tunney will enter the ring against Dempsey this
month broke. Perhaps he will leave the ring also slightly
broken.
That Holy Roller kid in Texas who yesterday per
mitted a rattler to bite him—the snake dying instead of
the kid—must have been filled with some of this Alaska
mule we hear so much about.
In framing a law it is usual to put all the cards on the
table except the joker.

WORK OR LOCAL FIELD
At the recent meeting of the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce it was
suggested a letter of appreciation be
directed to Superintendent Anton
Eide, of the Alaska Road Commission
thanking him for the remarkably
fine work and planning he accom
plished on the local aviation field
considering the small appropriation
allowed for the improvement.
Captain R. R. Guthrie, called the
attention of the Chamber to the mat
ter and further stated the two Army
officers, who left town a few* days a
go on a huntng trip to the West
ward, that during their many years
of flying experiences they had not
seen more efficient work accomplish
ed, considering the small outlay of
money with which to carry on the
work; that Mr. Eide has done a very
commendable bit of planning apply
ing advantageously to local condi
tions.
MAKING EXCELLENT PROGRESS
Gerhard Johnsen, contractor, who is
erecting the Territorial school in the
Mission district,, is making excellent
progress and now has his crew run
ning, or putting up, the frame. The
basement is completed, sand floor in
and also the joists.
FINE CATCH OF TROUT
To Tommy Jasper goes the prize for
bringing in the finest basket of trout
this year. Tom went out to Bear creek
yesterday and inside of two hours had
his basket chuck-a-block. “Never had
such a day’s sport in my life” he said.
Most of them were Dolly Vardens but
there were also some choice looking 1
Rainbows. What did he do with them?
Why,gave them away to his many
friends, of course!
And we hope he goes fishing again
real soon.

Mrs. J. H. Romig, wife of the prom
inent Alaskan physician and surgeon,
and a former resident of Seward, is

ing in the bay last week, plans haul
