HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
It is a strange human trait that in later life a man
often boasts of the very things of which he was some
what ashamed in his youth. Successful men point out
with pride to their humble origins, to their early strug
gles and the menial nature of their first employment.
And it is a just cause for pride to have overcome
one’s own obstacles through one's own energy and de
termination. There is no doubt that the man who has
had to fight his way from the bottom is generally bet
ter off, hard as it may have seemed to him while under
going the experience.
It is equally true that many men fail because of a
false pride which causes them to shrink from humble:
tasks which might lead to ultimate success. Henry
Ford was a machinist's helper, Thomas A. Edison was
a newsboy, John D- Roekerfeller was a clerk, and nei
ther had any early education to speak of. They and!
thousands of others succeeded because they were not!
ashamed to toil with their hands until something better!
presented itself.
Not every boy can become a Ford, an Edison, or ai
Rockefeller, but every one who is not afraid or ashamed
to work can make an honorable and useful place for
himself, and he doesn't have to begin in a “white collar^'
job, either.
It would be terrible if the plan to put the postal
service on a paying basis were to deprive us of our
postage-free Congressional Record; or the stamped
printed envelope turned out by the millions, at a price
less than the cost of the stock.
WHAT’S WRONG?
Whats wrong with Alaska, you ask? Well there’s
nothing wrong in herself because she has all God grant
ed to any other section of earth. But there is something
wrong.
Lift the restrictions on our natural resources and
Congress will.be righting a grave wrong. It is said Con
giess is not discriminating against Alaska; we hope not,
but> if we had Congressional representatives or senators,!
which we won’t have for a long time, more attention;
would be focused this way.
If you can laugh and growl at the same time think!
back when the last territories were admitted to statehood1
and how the boys had it framed up who was to be post
master at Scarface, Oklahoma.
Alaska is too big and has too few people to become
a state but in lieu thereof it is one of the juiciest plums
ever served to the palates of our lawmakers. They like!
to play with it. But in all, it’s safe to say that at least |,
two-thirds of the members of the higher and lower*
houses know that Alaska is one-fifth the size of the
whole United States. Fifty of them know that Alaska ex
ports millions every year. Ten of them know that the
great Territory should get attention but as long as the j
votes don’t count, let George do it, and they immediately
turn everything over to a bureau, and create more bur
eaus for more jobs.
Our present delegate to Congress does nothing to- .
wards changing this attitude. He is too busy keeping inj
touch with the gang along the river and the coast so he j<
can call them by their first names. That’s really the only *
recommendation we ever heard for him. Up here he’s ‘
busy as a bee; down in Washington he might as well ,
keep on going to Baltimore and be as mum as an oyster
The Almighty gave us brains, but left their use to
our own opinion.
Proofreaders are unanimously opposed to war be
tween China and Russia.
