NEVER SAW ALASKA; THINKS GENERAL RIGHT
Edward B. Clark, author of the A r toy and Navy
article appearing in yesterday’s Gateway, presents his
case fairly well with the exception he doesn’t seem to |
know much about the subject. First of all we would :
respectfully ask Mr. Clark to secure some information as :
to why the Alaska Railroad was built. It was not built i
primarily, to assist in the development of Alaska but to
exploit the Matanuska coal fields. And on that subject
we would refer him to the Washington files. He’ll be <
surprised if he digs deep enough.
In days gone by we would have overlooked this arti- i
cle but there is a well developed and organized effort ;
among a certain element in the East to discredit every- <
thing in Alaska. It therefore becomes our duty to pro- ]
test in our own feeble way. The suggestion Mr. Clark <
makes “that the reiteration of these extravagant state- *
ments is intended chiefly to secure continuing appro- ]
priations from Congress,” is a dirty crack. £
General Richardson may have written his article for {
the Atlantic Monthly in entire good faith but coming at
such an inopportune time—Congress in session, the only
real opportunity Alaska has to present its case—it par
ticularly handicapped two of Alaska’s most needed de-1
partments in the matter of securing appropriations; ap- <
propriations for the purpose of assisting these Northern <
pioneers in carving an empire from out a wilderness for t
the people of the United States including Mr. Edward B i
Clark.
Owe $10 and you’re a dead beat; owe a $100,000 and 1
you’re a financier. t
With another Territorial election in the offing it is 1
about itme for a brilliant (?) political house organ—a
special paper—to make its appearance; extolling the
merits of their cause and favorites. Also, to damn the 1
present Alaskan papers which were “bought” by the “big ■
interests” (laugh hearty here please) at the* last election,
likened to a boomerang. It returns and swats the thrower.
A soft answer not only turneth away wrath but it is
an excellent investment, in view of the fact that $17,000,
000 alimony ia paid yearly in the United States.
One thing about Seward folks is that they are to busy
to think up depreciatory remarks upon their neighbors,
or nearby villages.
l en athletic events constitute a decathlon, says a con
temporary. Our idea of a fine example is undressing in an
upper berth.
Yv e dont blame W. E. Greenway so much for like mis
information absorbed over in Anchorage by Senator
Howell, Mr. Greenway thought he was being given the
real low-down truth.
Successful promoters have as their cardinal principle
a square-deal for their clients. That is the reason they are
successful.
A stateman is a politician who became a candidate
and got elected.
An optimist is one of these candidates for President
who plans his 1928 fishing trip in the summer of 1928.
Great profits and dividends come from successful
mining investments. Be an investor and not a gambler.
TV hen you hear somebody mispronounce a word,—
look it up; you may be wrong.

This is the kind of story that makes you forget
you’re in a theatre. A picture made to expose
the terrible brutality of police methods of inti
midating innocent people whom they think can
not defend themselves by “Pull”. Showing how
the Officer, hiding behind his badge which the
average man blindly accepts as proof of the
wearer’s honorableness, gives free rein to his
brutal instincts and gets away with it.
Showing the reason for the old saying
“IT TAKES A THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF”
Also why they are called “Bulls.”
A vivid play picturing the suffering caused by
Police Officers suspicions and ways.
With it will be a Pathe News
