KMH'KS PKOYK.D BOOST AGAIN
With all the shouting full of abusive, discrediting epithets and what
not. against Delegate Sutherland, the voters d;d :iot permit the shouters to
fain the day. T'..e suouters' abuses availed tnem nothing, they only prov
ed wasted ammunition because it was "dump ammunition" so to speak. Lo
cally at least. But it also proved again that sometimes a knock is a boost,
depending, of course, on who is the knocker.
Speaking locally, Mr. Galen d.d very well, but despite this flimsy con
solation. If we can call it so. he should adopt the fervent prayer that runs
something like this: "Oh Lord, deliver us from our friends, for the know
not when they shold keep their mouths shut." For as sure as anything, if
they had we venture the opinion hat llaleu would have gained thereby.
Of course, all this, as .ve sa d before, depends upon who shouts. If
seekers of offices would only remember that as this old world grows oldjr,
voters grow wiser and therefore think for themselves. And if it is only to
"get even" with some private interest whose success they envy, they are
going to "buck" the private interests, even by curtailing their best inter
ests. That's human nature pure and s tuple. But this is uot saying that
It should be so.—Ketchikan Daily News.
THEY EARN' THEIK WAY.—Half tiie men at the State College of Wash
ington earned every i. :it of the money for their college education before
they came last fall, and . : per cent, are now earning everything they have
while they are studying.
Statistics compiled by tii? ernduate manager. Harry Chambers, on ex
amination of record.-, of 1.224 men students the lirst semester to discover
just what their financial cond tion is showed that fill, or 50 per cent, earn
ed all the money they brought with them; 72. or fi per cent., earned two
thirds: 1SS. or 13 per cent., earned half; 143. or 12 per cent., earued a
third ind -10, or 17 per cent . either failed to answer the question on their
cards, or had not earned their money.
As to those now earning their way. 153. or 13 per cent., earn every
thing: 'jo, or 7 pe: cent., earn two-thirds; 192. or la per cent., earn half;
£38. or 20 per cent . earn a third: and 551, or 45 per cent either failed to
answer or are earning none at present. Some of these were earning last
vacation. j
Thus S3 per cent, earned all or part of their funds before they entered
lest fall; and 55 per cent, are now earning all or a part of their way. Tak- ]
en in connection with the tact that scholarship standards are higher than J
last year, this is not a bad record—Umpire.
THE StHDOl, MEET.—W'e would like to have seen a good, strong
team from our school at the meet which is being held in Juneau. This fea
ture of the work, we feel, is for the good of all concerned. The children
who go from the d fieient schools will have a splendid time, it will be in
the nature of real education to them, as many of them will not have been
to the capital. The experience of meeting children of other schools in con
test is wholesome and generally beneficial.

"WKTS" CLAIM
COXtiRESS VICTORY j
A special election has just been held
in the 3 7tb New York congression.il
district to choose a successor to A.
B. Houghton, who was uiade ambas
sador to Germany. The contest
aroused unusual interest because
tue Democratic caLdidate came out
demanding the repeal of the Vol-'
stead law as being contrary to the
constitution. This threw the sup
port of the prohibition and religious
elements to the Herublicau nominee.1
Lewis Henry. He was elected but
the majority was so much reduced
from 1920 that the result is hailed
by the "wets" as a sign that the
country is turuiug against prohibi
tion.— Kxchaage.
LAST r. S. WAR UEAl) ARRIVE
Of the 70.000 American soldiers
who died in tLe world war. 45.000
have now been brought back to this
country with the recent arrival at
Brooklyn of 1065 bodies ou the
transport Cambrai. The 25,000
bodies that have have not been
brought over will continue to rest
in French soil by the wish of their
relatives. The lasi. body brought
ashore was that ol Private Charles

in attendance and a message from
President Harding was read.—Ex.
AI.AS.iA HISTORY COUK.SE
Tiie I n versity of Washington of
fers the only course ou the history
ot Alaska in the United States. Vic
tor J. Farrar, associate in historical
research, gives this course which
covers the history of Alaska from
the period of Russian occupation to
the regi'ne of the United Stales at
the present time.
The I n.versity of Washington for
many years has specialized on Alas
kan matters, and has been conduct
ed as though it were an Alaskan
school as well as a Washington
scliool. Aliaska students are ad
mitted to the University on the same
bu^is and at the same charge as
students from tue state of Washing
ton. while those from other states
are charged more.—Empire.
The report that none but Amer
ican citizens will be employed hence
forth on the Alaska railroad is very
satisfactory to'Alaskans in general.
While the road was in the construc
tion period it was necessary that
many Montenegrins and Greeks be
employed, but that necessity is now
over. and aliens should have no
chance to take the jobs away from
bona fide c.tlzens. The man or wo
man who has been in this country
the required number of years for
naturalisation and has not taken ad
vantage of its easy laws allowing
them citizenship is not worthy of a
job on any government enterprise.
It is to be hoped that these meu
will be replaced quickly and with
efficient American citizens.—Sew

DOY
SCOUTS
(Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouta of America.)
FOR LACK OF A BOY SCOUT
Tile papers recently gave consider
able publicity to ihe fuel that a cer
ium physician lust himself lu' the
woods while uu u Hunting expedition
aud was found two weeks later, nearly
starved with a raw partridge in his
hand, because he had uo mulches to
sluri a tire. It is interesting to notice
how fivyueutly in commenting upon
this Incldeut the newspapers have
pointed out that "the doctor should
have hud a boy scout along, to show
hlm how to make a tire by friction unci
tiud Ids direction by sun and stars."
"liy reason of the scout movement,
the next generation will be-better pre
pared for such emergencies," observes
tiie Salt Luke City News. 'To say the
man suffered for luck of a mutch is to
misstate ids case. He suffered almost
to death for lacl of Are, und he lacked
tire because we have cotue to depend
so much on matches. What he needed.
In the abseuce of matches, was a
knowledge of some eurller way of milk
ing tire." Some knowledge of the arts
ol primitive man are desirable for all
who would seek the primitive wilds.
This Is one of the grent Ideas of the
boy scout organization. The finished
scout, left in the woods,- could make a
tire by rubbing sticks, could -make a
wigwam or a hilt, and. could estimate
the general direction by his watch wiih
the aid of the sun. The boy scout or
ganizers did not discover these things,
but they discovered that they could
: still be used In an age of great arli
I tidal progress."

OMAHA SCOUTS PREVENT WRECK
' Two boy scouts, James Caldwell and
| Clarence Swlngholro. vt Omaha. re
Iceotly prevented a serious train wreck
by prouipt aetien and presence of
mind. Coining home from a bike they
j discovered that a large tree bad fallen
directly across the track of the
Omaha-Chicago passenger train which
was already whistling around the
bend only a few hundred yards away,
j Tearing off the red sweater of one of
I the boys they ran along the track,
waving the danger signal frantically.
The tralu was halted and doubtless
many lives were saved. "Nothing to
j it." said Scout Swlngholm whpn peo
ple tried to overwhelm the lads with
j praise. "We just did a good turn and
{ that's what boy scouts are for." The
tree wu» one which some bee hunter's
I had evidently felled and ran away

I contrast between the conduct of the
boys and that of the men speaks for

"My method Is really very simple,"
he explained. "All 1 do ts watch the

It's an unfailing habit of mine to get
up at exactly the same time each morn

cigar of a standard brand and always
of the same size. Then I look through
the news of the day and start tor the

degree to which the cigar has burned.

Branded Ears of Stock.
In the office of the Justice of the
peace of Lyme township. Huron
county. Ohio, are preserved records
extending over the entire period of
the township's history. One of these
Is entitled "Record of Ear .Marks In
the Township of Lyme."
In the days of early settlement little
of the land was fenced, and cattle,
-hogs and sheep wandered at will.
These ear markings served the same
purpose as branding on the western
ranches today. The first entry was
made under date of April 14. 1813.
These marks admitted to transfer
from one owner to another. This was
frequently done. The record con

"Try The Home Market First"
As a Northerner, a Pioneer, an Cpbuilder of AlasE . you art
peeved every time you. hear of the appointment of a "car* tbagger"
to fill one of the political offices of the territory, because ou know
that there are capable and efficient men living In the tern ory who
could Sll the offices with perfect satisfaction, who are h» iplng to
build up the territory and make it a worth while place In v-hich to
live.
Is is a parallel case when Northerners send their monet out
side for supplies that may be bought right here at home and give
better satisfaction than the "carpetbagger" (tuff imported from the
States.
4 -
Is It not a fact that we are all working to build up the North
to make it a worth-while place In which to live, and by "trying yeur
home market first" yoo are strengthening the foundation for tkat
building?
Here's A Suggestion For A Starter
TRY THE ALASKAN'S JOB PRINTING DEPARTMENT FIRST. IT IS EQITPPKD
WITH MODERN MACHINERY AND MATERIAL, AND EFFICIENT
ARTISANS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE WORK
