AND STILL THEY COME
Five hundred new laws, not counting resolutions,
were passed by the 72nd Congress which just adjourned.
These, added to the 2,000,000 now on the statute books
and the 30 tons of type metal tied up and cannot be print
ed, because of alterations and amendments, gives some
idea of how over-governed the people of the nation are
and how the encroachment advances steadily from year
to year.
Underlying this effort to regulate national conduct
by statutes, is the passage of those old bulwarks of the
'pation know and facetiously referred to by the super
intellectuals as Victorian.
As pointed out by Walter Lippmann, veteran journ
alist, and last editor of the New York World, until prag
matism nullified journalism, making the press agencies
of cupidity instead of vital force, the date of United
States decadence began when the old moral codes were
scrapped for a series of experiments, all of which have
proved chimerical and destructive.
The destructive example is displayed in the general
diminishing of confidence in national leaders, once look
ed to as the guardians of national honor and the agencies
for protection of life and property.
Of these billions of statutes, the majority go to deal
with matters hitherto adjusted under the moral impulse
which needed no mandate as a stimulate, aside from the
philosophi.es of the ages showing cause and effect.,
As Mr. Lippmann points out, the first essential is a
re-establishment of a high moral sense in all d e a 1 i n g s
whether political or social. Just ithe method for accom
plishing this is problematic. Unless the movement starts
with the mass, enabling it to exercise a better clari
ty of vision in the selection of leaders, there is probably
little hope of escaping this annual deluge of laws.
In this respect we are repeating the history of the
older countries of Europe which tried out the experiment
of democracy and scrapped it because it degenerated into
just such a situation as confronts us today. The final
result was the wrestling of power from the masses and
reposing it in the classes. That these, in turn abused it
was a natural result.
In the meantime we have a nation wherein every
man mistrusts his neighbor, fearing to move lest he be
stricken in the back.

PLANE CARRIED LUMBER
Delivering lumber via the air and
dropping same high upon snow
covered mountain peaks, is some
thing new in the annals of Alaska
airplane traffic and mining devel
opment. Pilot Oscar Winchell, “the
flying cowboy from the plains of
Nebraska,” recently dropped a
quantity of building supplies on a
mountain top north of Anchorage,
at a place practically inaccessible
at this period of the year. The 250
pound shipment was dropped from
an altitude of about 50 feet, care
ful note being taken by the owner,
a passenger on the plane, as to the
locale, and who later was landed
in the nearby foothills from which
point he “mushed” to his prospect.
The SS Aleutian, of the A. S. S.
Co-, is due to arrive in port from
the south at 4 a. m. Friday, accord
ing to today’s bulletin.

cents- Sows results of survey by

vey covering the previously unsur

VICTOR DURAND
Victor Durand, Alaska’s fam
ed violinist, was heard again
last evening in inspiring solos
over KFQD, accompanied by tal
ented Nell Hewitt, pianist, a
pair hard to draw to. Alaskans
have been appreciative of Vic’s
magic bow for over a quarter of
a century and hope, as the years
roll on, his melodies may ever
continue.
What memories Victor Durand
and his violin conjure!
FINE RANCH HOME
One of the finest farms in this
section of Alaska is taking shape
down at Kasilof, the home of Capt.
and Mrs. Heinie Berger. Many im
provements have been made to
their already comfortable and mod
ern home but in addition fowl
and cattle are to be added to the
farm.
