FORGET “CH ECHAKO,” GREET
NEWCOMER — MEANS PRO
GRESS
Rv PARKER JOHNSTONE, of Chica
go Evening Post
Seward and 1 have become friends
and has asked me to follow up my
article in Saturday’s Gateway, on
general impressions, with or.e o! con
structive criticism, so here cues.
In view of the fact that 1 lu.e
Alaska, I am all with you in every
thing you desire and all you do-But
I find that in this glorious land pro
gress is far too slow. Now, my
frieMds, what’s the matter? If you
want me to express my views on
what is \\”'i ng, it is lack en
thusiastic. energetic young blood
that doesn’t give two whoops in
hades for hardship. This is a fact,
fclks, but let me elucidate before
you mob me.
It wasn’t long before I learned
what the word “Cheechako” meant,
and every time I hear the word, I
see the sneer creap over the face oi
the one who uttered it, in fact its a
hard job to say the word without
screwing up one side of your ace to
a certain extent. Now I ask you,
is that nice? You don’t want to be
another China do you? Especially
when you know down d*'ep in your
heart that it is new blood, new ideas,
the fire of youth, their mistakes and
I'd, that make the world not only go
ound but progress forward at the
m ■ t rapid rate.
True, it is. that this ail needs tlr
guide and check-rein of age and ex
perience. but that doesn’t call for :>
sneering attitude, and really, my
f: lends, it is this attitude that ins
discouraged and chased away the
newcomes who has tried his doggond
est to help things along.
I hate like everything to say that
the foundation is jealousy, but hon
estly it surely looks like it.
This is a great old world, and A!
aska is the greatest garden spot in it
This is no applesauce, but the truth,
when we consider the opportunities
here for any aspiring young man in
any line he may want to take up.
This is the influx that all Alaska
needs and truely wants.
Back in the States, Die city mails
are flooded with advertising propa
ganda for young men to grab the op
portunities in the Dakotas. Wisconsin
ami a dozen other states, but believe
me those places are barren wastes
in comparison with this garden spot
called Alaska.
To have some sort of central co
operative advertising group, backed
bv comb met! organized bodies ruch
as the Chamber of Commerce, that
would flood different sections of the
States with propaganda, rake it
from me, there would be a boon of
residents, not tourist, thy: would bo
a knock-out.
This is no pipe dream and can be
done. Aou all want marp people in
this country and this la one way to j
get them here. Blit remember they I
will be newcomers, not “Cheechakos.” j
They will be a little head strong at
the start, but full of new ideas out
of which will come real and rapid
progress for Alaska. Get behind
them, not in front. Push and help
them when they are trying to help
you. don’t push them in the face
when they offer a suggestion that

seems a little rash. They will b<
enterprising, ambitious, adventuriou:
and romantic, or else they neve
j would have come here, and re men
| her they mean big business to you
! So wipe off that sneer ol “Ciiee
chako” and wear an encouraging ea
to • ar grin with a helping hand out
streiened to greet the newcomt.v. i.
spite of hi0 seeminglv over-h* >,im
attitude. It' he is human, tie wil
get over it, if you a-v human, yot
vvi'i". o' ct ’ook it.
Wlnt do you think 'blits, am
| right ?
