SHOULD BE KEPT IN ALASKA
First thing we know all Alaskans will want to be
marshals* In the past and present time prisoners and in
sane are.personally escorted by marshals, friends, etc;
to the States, Washington and Oregon States; but now it
looks like a free ride and vacation may be had to the East,
Washington, D. C., to be more exact.
There probably is much truth in the% accusations di
rected at the Morningside institution for Alaska’s insane,
but we fail to see where the Eastern climate will help our
sick ones.
We do not claim there is a “nigger in the wood pile”
but we do feel certain an institution for caring for Alas
ka’s insane should be located in Alaska; not in China!
Being settled in the summer White House near Chi
cago, Coolidge will be lulled to sleep each evening by
echoes from shot and shell during the present battle of
Chicago.
PLIGHT OF THE AGED
If it were possible to bring home to the young and
middle-aged the pitiful condition of a large percentage of
all old people, it might be easier to inculcate habits of
tii i'll l*.
One of the saddest things imaginable is to see aged
persons who are dependent upon charity for the bare
necessities of life. About 80,000 are in the poorhouses
of the United States, but the number who are supported
in various ways outside of these institutions is many
times as large. It has been estimated that about 80 per
cent of ail persons more than 65 years of age are depend
ent to some extent upon the charity of relatives or others.
Many of these have seen prosperous days, but thru
wastfulness, bad investments, sickness, accidents or other
misfortunes have been reduced to their present plight.
Unfortunately, the examples of old-age poverty
which may be seen on every hand are ignored by the very
ones who will experience a similar situation in their later
years.
* Some of our Doctors of Laws in Congress try to do
too much doctoring, it would appear, judging from these
many vetoes and what nots now being glossed over by
Mr. and Mrs. General Public.
A New York lad who started as a messenger two
years ago has bought a seat on the New York Stock Ex
change. Must have picked up a share or two of Continen
tal Trading Company stock somewhere.
Shooting at the moon may soon be a reality if these
rocket aviators ever are permitted to leave the earth.
Coolidge must be a braver man than we give him
credit for. Of all the places he had to select a summer’s
home he had to pick one near the city of “iron pineapples’
dear old Chicago.

PIONEER'S PLOT
With thoughtful acts, gentle words
and tender memories, "Sourdough”
Pioneers of Alaska, and other friends,
Solemnly paid their last respects yes.
terday afternoon to Charles Crawford,
veteran Alaskan, who departed sud
denly Monday afternoon over the
“the last trail," and who was tender
ly laid away in a beautiful green cov
ered plot in the Pioneers cemetery.
The Oldtimer was just asleep, as
he lay in hts casket about which -were
strewn lovelv floral offerings. A
1
smile seemed to -hover over his peace,
ful and serene countenance; a sort
of wistful smile though as if he was
eager to enter upon the next great
Adventure, yet sorry perhaps, in the
thought of leaving so .many good;
friends forever; these were legion.
The funeral service by the Pioneer
Order was simple yet very impress
ive and as part of the service W. R.
Macpherson gave a brief message
on Hope, while Mrs. Richard McNally
/softly played on the organ several
beautiful hymns. Then the long line
of mourners slowly passed the cas
ket bidding the departed a last fare
well. And there were many tear
dimned eyes as the final tribute was
inade.
The body was then borne, escorted
by a long line of automobiles, out to
the cemetery where the last rites
were held
