Tomorrow, February 12. is the natal day of one who is last becom
ing recognized as one of the world’s greatest men—Abraham Lincoln.
Volumes have been written and countless eulogies have poured
forth floods of golden phrases in praise of this man in whom seem to
center so much of human greatness. All that could be said of him, of
his humble birth, his remarkable character, his wonderful career, his
unfortunate end, has long "ago been said amf nothing may be added to
enhance the glory of his name. In him nature seems to have combined
something of all of those qualities which make for greatness and brings
to their possessor praise and adoration of their fellowmen.
.To the world Lincoln represents one of the most notable examples
of nobility of character that Time has bequeathed to history; to u.«. his
compatriots, he was the personification of all those qualities which endear
one human being to his fellows. Goodness and kindness were in him
combined in unmeasured quantities with the loftiness of human sentimefcts
and a'noble regard for the welfare of his fellow creatures. Hix decades
and more have flown since his light shown upon the world for the comfort
of his loyal countrymen and the preservation of their birthright, but the
long passing years ha^-e not dissipated the love and veneration born of his
noble service in the cause of humanity. Today, he is universally looked
upon and reverenced as the savior ol' his country and the great Washington
himself holds no higher place in the regard of the American people.

It is very true that the Government cannot legislate prosperity
into a Territory. Hut the Government can legislate prosperity out of a
Territory. And there's just the rub. That’s what happened to Alaska.
Restrictive, red tape laws, interlocking bureaus and divided authority have
killed and withered private initiative and have driven out competing
capital.
The very purpose of the New Bill, advocated by the Harding Admin
istration, is not an effort to “legislate prosperity into Alaska.'* but simply
to remove some of the worst handicaps that have impeded progress. To
endeavor to put any other construction on the purpose of the .New bill
is absorb on its face and lacking in sincerity.
All that the free-born American pioneers of Alaska have) ever
asked is a "fair field and no favors." They discovered to the world the
natural resources of Alaska and had every reason to believe that they
would be allowed to utilize them. They managed their own business with
dispatch and justice to each other. Population increased, new industries
sprung up, capital began to seek out the opportunities they had created.
They dreamed big dreams of a great commercial empire and builded big
plans to fit those dreams. Then followed a horde of officials and law
and long-range government from Washington, which kept getting more
complicated, as more officials were dumped upon the Territory, until
practically everything was placed under an official lock and key.
Population receded. Stagnation followed. These are facts, not
fiction, and the new officials became as much the victims of the mis-directed
system as the settlers themselves, with the exception, perhaps, they fared
better in being on salaries.
There is nothing, however, to be gained in blaming anyone. Many
of the officials have made Alaska their home and are anxious to see the
Territory prosper: But now that the trouble is known and the remedy
bt hand, the thing to do is all to get in and work for it. It was never
claimed at any time that the enactment of the New bill would prove a
cure-all for thelitis of Alaska, but it was and is claimed that the measure
will form a first step or foundation for getting rid of a system which
has retarded progress and afford encouragement for industrial develop
ment.—Juneau Sunday Capital.
“TUB OLD MAN”—HE’S YOCR FATHER !
He may wear a last year’s straw hat. his finger nails may need
manicuring; his vest may hang a little loose. and->bis pants may bag at the
knees; his face may show signs of a second day’s growth, and the tin
dinner bucket he carries may be full of dents and doughnuts; but don’t
you call him ’’the old man.” He’s your father.
For years and years he has been rustling around to get things
together. Never once has he failed to do the right thing by you. He
thinks you are the greatest boy on earth bar none, even though you
plaster your hair back, wear smart clothes, smoke cigarettes, and fail to
bring home a cent. He is the man who won the love and life partnership
of the greatest woman on earth, your mother.
He is ‘‘some’’ man and not “the old man.” If you win as good a
*ife as be did, you will have to go some, boy.—The Silent Partner.
NEWS OF
AMERICAN
LEGION
(Tlio Observation Post)
No greater proof of tu« belief that
man is bcrn to fulfill a certain des
tiny is to be had than in the life of
Abraham Lincoln.
From a child the one hate of his
life was for the evil he was called
upon later to correct—slavery. A
never-to-be-forgotten personality and
a razor-keen brain lifted him from
th»* humble life of a •backwoodsman
and frontiersman to the most exalted
position in the la ml that the clear
logic, the beautiful simplicity and
the rare virtues of the man might
flood the whole country—aye. the
entire world, with the light of a new
sense of equality.
No counsel or staff helped him
frame the glorious passage, that will
ring down through the centuries: -
"By the people, of the people, and for
the people —" the thought sprang
naturally from his great heart, and
the words flowed naturally from
HP*.
Lincoln was a never failing soufv*
of wit to his comrades in frontier
life. When ho was candidate to fin
legislature of lllinios he was for<-"l
to borrow money enough to buy
suit of blue jeans to replace his worn
out homespuns. On seeing him in
his ew array one of his bacwood
man friends remarked: "Th'et's i
right purty suit you have on. Ah
but don’t you think the coat's i
lettle mite too short?”
"Yes.” replied Lincoln, “but i*
will be long enough before I g»*t :ir.
Along this same line o’ thought w
observe that a great many civilians
in the land now wearing the O. U.
breeches waited long enough before
they nut ’em on Some of them are
about four years too late.
Details Heqiiir«*d.
'As you were!" bellowed the cap
•fap'n. suh, how fer back?" in
quired a dusky recruit hopefully.
“Oncet was a time Ah wasn't in this
heab Ahiny a-tall."
IS THIS SO GIRLS?
A little powder now and then.
Is dabbed on bv the oldest hen.
The weak hearted aspirant for
public office who squealed that to
enter the American Legion meant
political death, and the fellow on
the opposite side of the fence who
yelped wildly that the Legion had
for its sole purpose the forming of
a political bludgeon, were answered
very pretty and effectively last week
when Hanford Mae.Nider. Comman
der of the American Legion. ivnn
ottered a Initcd States Seiiatorsliip
-and .declined to accept it.
He is the youngest man ever to
turn down such an honor.
Weather Observation.
The Legion buddies are pulling
hard for a fair day tomorrow. T >
I put over those fancy stunts we’vo
planned so that the one winking
bright eye of Harry Phillip's movie
I machine will register 'em. calls for
a good day. At high noon, weather
permitting. Barracks Square will li
the scene of most unusual activity.
A Legion Post in furs will perform
for the benefit of something over a
hundred million white people and
thirty-seven Eskimos Come on
down and watch us—as the Canad
ian says, "It ain’t cost netting.”
