PERNICIOUS FEDERAL INTERFERENCE
There seems to be an irresistable desire on the part of a few
Federal Officials to butt into local matters which are entirely foreign
to Federal affairs. They not. only essay to control local opinion, but
also the manner in which a citizen shall conduct his private business.
In fact some of them are imbued with the idea that they are the masters
of the people, rather than public servants. This is a deplorable situa
tion and the only fortunate feature of it is that it is only confined to a
small minority. The citizen who does not make his conduct conform
to the wishes of those professional busy-bodies finds his road strewn
with obstacles whenever he has occasion to come in contact with them
officially.
While this condition will undoubtedly cause # public inconvience
for a time, it cannot last. It will eventually cause the ruin of the
official who attempts it. When an official attends strictly to Federal
affairs, he is performing a valuable public service, and when he retires
from office the popular verdict will be. "well done thou good and faithful
servant." On the other hand, a Federal official who tries to run every
thing and everybody, makes out of himself a public pest.
ALASKA CHILDREN.
Miss |Agnes R. Holland, field representative of the American Red
Cross, northwestern division, who for the past year has been conducting
classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick in all of the principal
towns in Alaska as well as in a number of the smaller communities, recent
ly contributed an article to the “Red Cross Courier,” the official journal
of the American Red Cross. She has this to say concerning, the phy
sical and mental development of Alaska' children:
"There is almost no sickness among the white population in
Alaska, a fact of which they are justly proud. 1 have never seen a
more healthy and robuae people. The children particularly are fine
and strong, beautiful types of healthy childhood, of greater physical
development than children of the same nge in the states and in some cases.
I think, in advance of them mentally. * * *
"Unfortunately, the ?*me thing cannot be said of the natives.
'And by natives we mean not the Eskimos who as far as we know are
Malays and came originally across from Siberia, but the North American
Indian. The Eskimo as a rule take care of themselves, but among the
natives disease, particularly tuberculosis, is prevalent."
WlUi COMPLETE SURVEY TERRITORY'S RESOURCES.
Announcement is made that Dr. Alfred Brooks, geologist, connect
ed with the Interior Department, who has made a thorough study of the
far northern possession of the United States, will soon leave Washington
for Alaska to complete his survey of resources of the country.
“We place all possible reliance on the statements that unlimited
oil and coal deposits are as yet untouched in the interior of Alaska.”,
declared department officials. “A prospector named Smith, who is now
in Washington and who has traveled 22,000 miles by dog team under
the Arctic skies in places that are yet unmapped, tells us of vast quan
tities of oil and cannel coal to be found in the barren wastes about 600
or 700 miles north of Fairbanks and in the interior of the countiT
“We feel that everything possible to extend transportation routes
in Alaska to open up this territory should be undertaken, and the Interior
Department believes that the northern terminus _of the Alaskan railroad,
now at Fairbanks, should be further extended.
“We are not inclined to feel that this And is a pipe-dreain. It
is still in the exploration state, and it may take some years to develop J
it, but the department is confident it is there.”—Alaska Dispatch.
FACTORIES FOR ALASKA
^Factori^ in Alaska-infant industries—capable of sunolying the
needs of the Territory’s increasing population, enlarged progressively
according to needs, is the answer to high freight rates on many things
consumed in..large quantities in the Northland. This embodies the chief
problem—providing regular employment for everybody here at horn*?;
ways and means ofjnaking a good living the year round.
This problem will be solved in the next few years. Now is the,
time to start the industrial development. Outside factories would be
u^atile to compete with local concerns in the Alaskan market on account
of the .high freight rates.
The best brains of the community should be concerned about this
problem—to make two jobs where there was only one Job before, and
to save money for everybody.
990,0041 WORTH OF AI/ASKA PUBLICITY.
Through the publicity department of the Seattle Cha#nber of
Commerce an extensive advertising campaign has be|n launct^d for
tourist traffic that will be greater than anything ever attempted in the
Pacific Northwest. And as a result of this effort it is expected that
Alaska will materially benefit. Harold Crary, director of publicity for
the Chamber, announces that be is placing $50,000 worth of advertise
ments to appear within the next few weeks. A half page appeared
the first week in February in the Saturday Evening Poet, to be followed
op with column-length ads in the same publication. Advertisements will
also be placed in the Literary Digest, Outlook, the Century. Harper’s, the
Atlantic Monthly, Scribner’s and Sunset magazines.
During the four months of February, March, April and May. ex
tensive advertisements will be carried with Los Angeles, San Francisco,!
Sacramento, Stockton and Fresno dailies. Invading California for tour-1
1st business in view of California’s enterprise in going ont for tourist
trade seemed a daring venture to some, but Mr. Crary believes it will be
highly successful.
LAW KNFORCKMBNT
The point at which die law of our land is being attacked most
frequently these days is in bootlegging. The bootlegger, the boozer, the
traitorous officer of the law, all come under the same clash, and are actu
ated by the same motive, selfish interest, in contrast with consideration
of the general good. So long as the bootlegger can get easy money for
violation of the law. and the officer of the law can get easy money for
closing his eyes, and the boozer can get his booze thru violation of law.
attempts will be made to keep the business going.
There is no question in the minds of a majority of our reputable
citizenry that the operation of the law is now working untold good.
This is becoming more and more manifest in many ways. But the
interests which are actuated wholly by selfishness irrespective of the
good of their fellows, declare the enforcement of the law will produce more
evil than the law can produce good.
By the same process of reasoning, we should allow the burglar to
burglarize unhampered. The Postmaster General should not have
given the order to mail clerks to shoot to kill, but rather to deliver up
the mail to the bandit fraternity whenever they called for it . There
is not a law on the-statute hooks but works inconvenience and hardship
to some few. We uphold law and support the officers in maintaining
respect for it. not because of our selfish interests, but because of its
operation for the general good.
The Volstead law. whatever may be our individual opinion of it. is
on the books to stay. The sooner we, as law abiding citizens, take our
stand for a fair and impartial enforcement of it, and use our influence
to discourage those who, for selfish motives, would bring it into disrepute,
the sooner will the bandit bootlegger and his sympathizers realize that
their little game is up.
Stand by the principles upon which our nation was founded and
by which she has grown—Respect for and enforcement of the laws of
the land.—Skagway Alaskan.
