ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25, 15117
TRANSIENT TRADERS.
Transient traders, the hunt* of the legitimate merehant,
have made their appearance in Anchorage, and it is up to the
business interests of this community to find some method ot
dealing with this situation, which if allowed to continue un
checked will do immeasurable harm to local business houses.
The same problem has confronted every other city in Alas
ka, but the incorporated towns have solved tin* matter by im
posing heavy licenses on the itinerant merchants, which have
proven prohibitive.
Transient traders are but one step removed trom the mail
order houses. They come only at the time when local mer
chants have an opportunity to recoup from a long period ot
slow hnsiness, and with a minimum of expense and a few cheap
goods, jut* able to make a quick cleanup find get away with a
large portion of the money which otherwise would lx* lett in
the city. /
They do nothing toward the upbuilding of tin* town; they
have no money invested in local improvements; they pay no
taxes of any kind; and the only interest they have in the pros
perity of the community is that they will be able to get away
in the shortest possible time with the greatest possible amount
of money.
Anchorage is not incorporated, and cannot protect itsclt,
as other communities, and tin* business interests must devise
some means whereby Anchorage will prove an unprofitable
held for investments of this character.
The TIMES is a business institution which at all times is
ready to serve the people of Anchorage and vicinity to the
best of its ability. If a merchant comes to this city and an
nounces his intention of establishing here The TIMES wants
his business and will go after it in every legitimate manner,
liut The TIMES does not want the business of the transient
trader, and when a business house shows that it is such an
institution, this publication will refuse to open its columns to
his advertisements, even though such action may mean in> in
considerable financial loss.
This paper believes in reciprocity in every sense of the
word. Its very existence depends upon tin* merchants who
remain here year in and year nut. and it will not give publicity
of any kind to the person or firm which is not willing to east
its lot with the people of this community.
A patriotic resident of Anchorage recently offered his
services to the government, through Governor Strong, of
Alaska, in case of need, to command or pilot a submarine
chaser on the waters of the Pacific coast, between Columbia
river and < look inlet. The volunteer says he has passed the
litst 25 years handling steam, sail and gas boats, including five
years in the U. S. life saving service at the mouth of the ('o
lumbia. Through error, the volunteer failed to sign his name,
and the governor’s office, which makes it an invariable mle
to reply to all letters received, cannot reply to this loyal com
munication, because of tin* lack of address. If the writer will
give his name, either to this office or send it to the governor,
it will be duly appreciated.
OUTt FLAG.
(By an Unknown Author)
When you see the Stars and Stripes displayed, son, stand
up and take off your hat! Somebody may titter but pay no at
tention. You may blaspheme in the street, and stagger drunk
en in public places, and the bystanders will not pay much at
tention to you but if you should get down on your knees in the
street and pray to Almighty (lod or if you should stand bare
headed while a company of old soldiers march by with their
(lag to the breeze, some people frill think you are showing off.
But don’t you mind! When Old (Rory comes along, salute,
and let them think what they please! When you hear the band
(day “The Star Spangled Banner,’ while you are in a restau
rant or hotel dining room, get up, even if you rise alone; stand
there, and don’t be ashamed of it, either!
For of all the signs and symbols since the world began,
there is never another so full of meaning as the flag of this
country.
That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thou
sand years of struggle upward. Il is the full-blown flower of
ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human
hope in bloom.
It means the answered prayer of generations of slaves, of
the helots of (1 recce, of the human chattels of Rome, of the
vassals of feudalism, of the serfs of Russia, of the blacks of
Vmerica, of all who, whipped and cursed, have crawled from
the cradle to the grave through all time.
Your Hag stands for humanity; for an equal opportunity
to all the sons of men. Of course, we haven’t arrived yet at
that goal; there are many injustices yet among us, many sense
less and cruel customs of the past still clinging to us, but the
only hope of righting the wrongs of men lies in the feeling
produced in our bosoms by the sight of that flag.

Vol. 1. No. 239. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and U

THE STORY OF THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
There was a certain Female Woman who thought that a W ife should be
a Real Helpmate, and do any little thing she could to help Husband the
Family Hank Roll. While competing for a Silver Bon Bon Dish at a Bridge
Party she heard her partner telling about the wonderful^ results from San
Tox Cold Cream she bought from Z. J. Loussac’s Drug Store.
With ears open she drank in experiences showing that this cold cream
would cleanse and beautify the skin, that it is soothing and healing and will
not grow hair, is cheaper than other creams, and that altogether it is very
desirable.
This Resourceful Charmer escaped a chiding for having neglected her
Household Duties bv informing Friend Husband how he could have money
and have a more Beautiful W'ife through her buying San-Tox Cold Cream
at Loussac’s; and she did to their Mutual Delight and Profit.
MORAL: The experience of others is just as valuable as your own—
and it costs less.
