AXl'IK IRAGK. ALASKA. TUKSDAY. APRIL 17. 1!*17.
ENDORSEMENT AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.
Some of the democratic divisional committeemen are seek
ing the scalp of Governor .1. F. A. Strong, one of the best chief
executives Alaska has ever had. .just because lie is not a narrow,
bitroted politician. If the democratic organization cuts no
more figure than it did four years ago. its indorsement, one
wa\ or another, will amount to little. We predict that it
Governor Strong wishes a reappointment, lie will gain it with
out difficulty. The sturdy governor does his duly according to
hi' light, and that is all that can be expected of any official.
In our opinion, he towers head and shoulders above Sul/.cr. the
court elected delegate, in point of ability and in every other
wav. The people ot Alaska gave \\ iekersham a plurality ot
votes over Sul/.cr. As a member of the official canvassing
board, the governor so held. An appeal to the courts over
threw the finding of the canvassing board, but that docs not
alter the fact that Wickersham was the choice of the people
as against Sul/.cr. Because the governor did not prostitute bis
office it' a member of the canvassing board and give Sulzer
the certificate of election, without recourse to the court, the
democratic politicians arc sore at him. But the people arc
with him. lie lias gained in esteem by bis fearless attitude.
He has earned a reappintment and be is going to receive a re
appointment, if we know Secretary ot the Interior Lane.
Tlx* Times has had occasion to comment on tlie eommer
cial hogs that are seeking t«> lioist the price of necessities ot
life to a point lH*yond all reason. Under the pretext of an in
crease i?i the price of tin cans, the outside wholesalers pro
pose to increase the price of the contents of the can d() per cent.
This is nothing more or less than a hold-up. pure and simple.
The wires tell ns that President Wilson has issued a warning
to these commercial hogs who seek to make great profits out
of a nation's distress. Me declares, in effect, that the hold-np
game will not he tolerated. The middlemen must suffer in
common with the remainder of the inhabitants ot this country,
while the war i~ on. They will not he allowed to grow fat. at
the expense of the people. Other belligerent nations have
found it necssary to curtail the activities of the commercial
hogs, and this nation will have to do likewise.
A committee representing the settlers of the Matanuska
valley Ini' been conferring with tin* railway officials with re
spect to freight rates maintaining. For a couple of years, until
the settlers are firmly established and on their feet financially,
we believe it to he the part of wisdom to lend all possible en
couragement m the way of reduced rates to the pioneers of
that fertile valley. The early and substantial settlement of
the Matanuska valley means future-business for the railway
project. We anticipate that there will he no difficulty all
in making the pro]ter adjustments.
Through the courtesy of Delegate Wickersham The Times
has received a sack of seeds of various kinds for local distri
bution. And it is gratifying to observe that the good house
wives of fin* community arc the most frequent callers for these
seeds. With the increased cost of living, a vegetable garden
will nmteriallv decrease the household expenses and at the
same time provide the table with good, wholesome food.
ANCHORAGE MERCHANTS KNOW
THE YALl'E OF ADVERTISING
Years ago in a typical down-east
hamlet, a little school boy whose first
name was Thomas, originated the idea
of commercial advertising. After
meeting with the scoffs and rebuffs
usual to new thoughts and advance
ment the idea grew and multiplied.
The staid and dignified business men
took it up and in the course of time
everyone who had a commodity to sell
or trade followed the example as laid
down by little Tommie of years ago.
Among the first real advertisers in
America was Tansill, who told the
world of the famous Tansill Punch
cigar, long since demised. Waltei
Baker with his cocoa, the Royal Bak
ing Powder and Butterwick Bustles
and hoops followed suit, as did thous
ands of other merchants and manu
facturers until today the art of ad
vertising has reached a magnitude fai
beyond the most sanguine hopes of
Thomas, who never doubted.
In this advanced age the art of ad
vertising has become a science anr
plays one of the most important parts
in the world’s business and the busi
ness men of the world have come t<
realize that it pays to advertise.
And so it has come to pass that the
precept has become the successfu
business man’s slogan whose echo has
reached and taken a firm hold on th<
merchants of Anchorage.
The business men of Anchorage art
the best advertisers of any town in
Alaska and the success of the indi
viduals, firms and corporations speak
volumes for legitimate advertising.

PLATS ON FILE IN LAND AND
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT
A complete set of township plats are
; on file in the land and industrial de
partment on which are shown all the
! homestead entries that have been
made in the Juneau and Fairbanks
land offices. Anyone intending to lo
cate a homestead in the Matanuska or
Susitna valleys should first call at the
1 office of the land and industrial de
patrment and ascertain what land is
vacant before making settlement on
the land or tiling application to enter
in the United States land office at Ju
neau. It will be to the interest of the
prospective settler to follow this pro
cedure as he will not then be examin
ing land that has already been settled
upon by others, and it ma yavoid un
necessary delay and expense incident
to any filing that cannot be accepted
: in the L'nited States land office.
