CARE OF THE INSANE.
l!' tin* Alaska legislative assembly takes tlit* position teat
the insane of the territory shall he treated in Alaska, rather
than sent outside to ,a sanatorium, as at present, there is no
reason at all why Anchorage should not have the insane insti
tution as well as any other Alaska community. Indeed, we
could supply some urgent reasons why it should he established
here. At the same time, if we were a member o! the Alaska
legislative assembly, wo would vigorously oppose the establisn
ment of a sanatorium for the insane in Alaska. In a matter ot
this kind, we tfould not he controlled by dollars and cents. We
would take the high ground that the unfortunate patients
should have the tirst and only consideration. W'e do not as
sume to treat this subject from a seientilie standpoint. Rut
our common horse sense suggests Jo ns that these poor victims
of dementia need, more than all else, is a change ot environ
ment and removal to a less rigorous clime. We owe a humane
duty to those among us who fall victim to dementia of any form
or nature. That duty is plain. It is to supply them with the
best treatment possible tw obtain. If removal to another clime
will eonrilmte to their improvemnt. and in many eases restora
tion to normal condition, in the name of God and humanity,
let’s send them there. Damn the dollars in a matter of tlii
kind!
THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO HOLD US UP.
The “.soaring prices ol' tin” is tin* absunl excuse' put lortli
by tin* outside wholesale dealers, who contemplate raising the
price to consumers of all canned goods to the exorbitant iig
nre of 50 per cent above the cost last season. \\ hat do these
wholesale dealers take the consumers for. anyway.’ Does an
increase of a cent or two i>er can justify an increase of 50 per
cent on what the can contains? Most-certainly it does not. The
Hellish attitude of these outside wholesale* fellows is going to
result in their undoing. They may throttle the throats ol the
consumers for a limited period of time, but Mr. Ultimate Con
sumer is going to rise in his might and his majesty and he is
going to put a stop to the activities of these commercial hogs.
The government should keep a watchful eye on the soar
ing food prices. They are fast ascending out of all propor
tion to the cost of production. It is about time for the govern
ment to call a halt. There can be no question but what these
outside wholesale concerns are in a combine to hoist prices,
and tlicv thus lay themselves liable to attack by the courts.
Young men of Anchorage, are you going to enlist in the
cause of your country? If so, be on hand promptly at 7 o’clock
tonight, at the appointed meeting place—the building former
ly occupied by the Presbterian church on F street. You will
probably not be called to the front, but you will have least done
your fully duty by enlisting for military service, in response to
your country’s request.
Emery Valentine, who was Delegate Wiekersham’s cam
paign manager, has been elected mayor ot Juneau. Ilis elec
tion F regarded as a protest against the issuance ot a ccrtili
■ ate of election to Charles A. Sulzer, a> delegate to congress
from Alaska, over Wiekersham. who had a plurality of the
votes.
The crying need of the allies is food. The next urgent
treed is financial aid. These will hr* supplied itr abundance by
the United States. There is no urgent need for men or muni
lions, hence the administration will not, for the present at
least, consider the dispatching of any army for foreign sen
ice.
Well, we’ve got the money now. Let the wheels of pros
perity begin to revolve. Let harmony and amity eontrol as
between employer and employed. Let ns consider ourselves
fortunate in gaining funds for railway construction, in a time
when our nation is at war with a foreign foe.
As was to be expected, the democratic territorial commit
lee at Juneau “turned down” an endorsement of Governor
Strong and Surveyor General Davidson for reappointment.
For did they not discharge their duties as members of the can
vassing board as patriotic and fearless citizens, regardless of
the personal desires of the political hacks who are trying to
run the territory? Among those ndorsed for added honors, one

ALL GOOD AMERICANS.
A man in the cafeteria this noon took Hungarian goulash.
Another man behind him glared and took an Irish stew.
Seeing this a peaceful-looking chap took Swiss cheese.
But right next to him a man shrugged his shoulders and be
gan destroying a beautiful French pastry.
Then a late comer started his meal with an order for Hus
sian caviar.
No telling what would have happened if a well-known Oma
ha man hadn’t come in and ordered a New England boiled din
ner.

A bookkeeper of my acquaintance
after using a Waterman Ideal Foun
tain Pen told nu that never again
will be go back to any ordinary pen.
“Why, it is wonderful how much time
it saves.” Waterman’s Ideal Fountain
Pens are made in many styles and
forms. A point for everybody, is what
they are trying to make. A guaran
tee goes with every pen. Prices are
from $2.50 to $35.00. We also have
new points.
We have received a complete line
tof Cut Glass Ware in Wine, Liquor
and Water Sets. Having bought all of
Sellers’ stock, we have secured good
values at a bargain.
We saw advertised in the magazines
two new designs in Rogers 1847 Ware,
the Athena and Heraldic. You would
like both of them on your table. We
will be very pleased to show them to
you.
Also Universal Coffee Percolators in
new designs, from $7.50 to $10.00 each.
A Box of Candy is always appreci
ated, but it has to be a Good Box of
Candy. Augustine & Kyer's Famous
Chocolates, fresh from the factory to
you.
We would like to impress upon our
friends on the different points on the
railroad, that our service is at their
disposal at all times. That no matter
how little their needs may be, we will
be glad to send it out to them.
And following our policy of carry
ing only the very best, we have added
the well known “Krause” Chocolate to
our stock.
It seems that everybody has the
grip, ourselves included. A box of our
Cold Tablets does wonders, and if you
cough—better be careful and try some
of our Pectoral Cough Syrup. It will
do the work.
Within the next few days we will
have three more boats enter the An
chorage Harbor, and each boat is
bringing us new stock.
We have already received a small
shipment of records and Victrolas, all
kinds of records, Swedish, French,
Greek, Norwegian, latest popular hits
