DR. JEKYLL” AND MR. HYDE

been blocked since construction days and the system put on an oper
ating basis. Since investigations are the style at Washington, perhaps
an investigation of these Alaska "blocs” might prove illuminating.
Faith, hope and charity,” says St. Paul, "and the greatest of these
is charity.” And he might have added that it’s also the scarcest. Talley
.rana declares that language was made to conceal thought, but the
opaque flood emitted by Hyde last Saturday—"too far North”—is
evidence he was arguing with his own conscience, which, like the dead
Banquo, will not down. Hyde, evidently, -was cast in the same mould as
those alleged statesmen during Secretary of State Seward’s time who
declared. "Russia had sold, at a fancy price, the United States a few
glaciers in Alaska.”
The work of destruction is not of a high order Anybody can des
troy; it requires genius to build up. Hyde and the majority of the mem
bers of Congress lack this attribute. There is no faith or sympathetic
concept at Washington for Alaska excepting for a mere handful like
Mr. LaGuardia who took issue with the rejection. They want Alaska
to remain a hopeless wreck, despite the heroic sacrifices and unremit
ting toil of the Alaskan people; industrially barren and one of the most
.fertile lands upon the globe, containing all things necessary to a happy
and prosperous people. Mr. Hyde does not agree that Alaska can do as
has northern Europe for centuries. Mr. Hyde does not want the govern
ment to assist Alaska stop paying tribute to the big packers and
wholesalers of the States; a tribute which in 1930 totalled approximate
ly $4,500,000 for animals and animal products, and about $5,000,000 im
portations of vegetable food products. Those, too, are federal figures.
So, Mr. Hyde, with a "Shanghai gesture” in the name of economy,
disapproves of a pitiful $35,000 appropriation for maintenance of the
Matanuska Experiment Station on which his predecessors spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and, like other inefficient# wasteful gov
ernment officials, adds another burden to a pioneer people.
The difference between constructive and destructive departments
is perhaps better illustrated by today’s dispatch whereby the Depart
ment of the Interior seeks close to a million dollars for aids to Indians;
but Mr. Hyde cannot endorse a $35,000 appropriation for white people.
Truly, a modern "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”

LUST SHOWING OF
“Mir TONIGHI
The present “talkie” at the Lib
i erty theater, “Svengali,” from Du
Maurier’s book “Trilby,” which is
being presented this evening for
the last time, is a story which_once
swept over America like a storm.
Everything then was Trilby; Tril
by hats, candies, flowers, dresses,
drinks, and so on.
None of Trilby’s “affaires d’ am
our” are depicted in the “talkie”
version. Trilby was an ignorant
and coarse-grained she-gamin who
frequented the students’ Latin quar
ter of Paris posing to strolling ar
tists in “the altogether” being, in
the crowded atelier like Mother
Eve in Eden, “naked and not
ashamed.” This scene is shown in
the movie.
Trilby was the child of an al
leged preacher and a bar-maid and
was born and bred in the slums of
Paris. Svengali, the greatest musi
cian then in the world, with hyp
notic powers, heard Trilby singing
“Ben Bolt” for the edification of
“les trois Angliches” and assumed
control of her weak intellect; she
was an easy victim. Under Sven
gali’s hypnotism she became the
greatest cantatrice of Europe.
“FOR ALL TO SEE”
It is understood that the finan
cial report of the Seward General
Hospital is ready for public inspec
tion in the offices of the city clerk.
It is also understood the report
will not be published.
Delegates to the Territorial Con
vention of the Democrats, who
have been in the wilds of the In
terior the past week, return to
Seward on this evening’s train.
WILL “SHOOT” WESTWARD
Pilot Harry Blunt, “the Bering
Sea Eagle,” one of Alaska’s fore
most flying men, returns on the SS
Northwestern today from Califor
nia. Blunt will fly the Alaska Pen
insula, Aleutian Islands and Bering
Sea this spring accompanied by a
camera man, a “talkie” expert and
a newspaperman.
