ALASKA OAY
1 -»v •
war
m Today has beon set apart as a special day for all Alaskans. The years
which have come and gone since the war have been dark days for Alaska,
hut there Is a general feeling thru the territory at present that better days
are ahead. We have passed thru the boom and the slump which necess
arily followed, and now have reached bedrock and begun the climb up to
a permanent growth and prosperity. Many elements enter into the situa
tion at present to give encouragement. Chief of these is the fact that the
present administration is alive to the need of doing such things as will
make possible Alaska's growth and development. But after all the final
decision rests in the hands of Alaskans. If we in the north do not arise
to make onr part of the town and territory the best possible, it is certain
the people in the states will not make it so for us. With co-operation on
the part of her people, Alaska may speedily attain.
AXCBOR.UJE LOSES WORTHY CITIZEN'
In Judge T. M. Reed's choice of John H. Punn as clerk of the court
for the first division. Anchorage loses and Junean gains: but from the fact
that it is an advancement for Mr. Dunn the people of Anchorage gener
ally rejoice with him In his good fortune. In combing Alaska Judge Reed
could not have made a more appropriate selection, and this for many rea
sons. From Nome to Anchorage the name of just John Dunn is synony
mous with all that honor and integrity implies, to say nothing of the
equally important characteristic of supreme loyalty to friends and faith.
Further, Mr. Dunn's previous experience of ten years in the capacity of
clerk of the court at Nome during t!\e stirring days adds to his qualifica
tions for the position.
Mr. Dunn's participation in Anchorage affairs includes diligent and
conscientious work in every phase of civic life, but particularly has he been
faithful to all patriotic movements. Mr. Dunn will be sorely missed in
many local circles made up of both men and women who find solace only
in the knowledge that the appointment is deserved recognition of a splen
did citizen whose life Is eminently worthy of emulation. We know he will
be successful.—Anchorage Times.
LAW KM'OIM'KMKNT
The point at which the law of our land in being attacked most fre
quently these days is in booilegging. The bootlegger, the boozer, the
traitorous officer of the law. all come under the same class, and are actuat
ed by the same motive, selfish interest, in mntraat with consideration of
the general good. So long as the bootlegger can get easy money for vio
lation 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 the law. at
tempts will be made to keep the business going.
There Is no question in the minds of a majority of our reputable cit
izenry that the operation of the law is now working untold good. This is
becoming more and more manifest in many ways. Ijiit the interests which
art) actuated wholly hv selfishness irrespective of the good of their fellows,
declare the enforcement of the law will produce more evil than the law
tan produce good.
By the same process of reasoning, we should allow ihe burglar to
burglarize unhampered Postmaster General Hays should not have given
:he order to mail clerks to shoot to kill, but rather to deliver up the mail
to th® bandit fraternity whenever they called for it. There is not a law
on the statute books 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 gen
eral 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 dis
courage those who. for selfish motives .would bring it into disrepute, the
sooner will the bandit bootlegger and his sympathixers 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.

COMMISSIONER 1\ DAWSON
AGAIN FROM SOITHKRN KM)
Gold Commissioner nnd Mrs. Geo
P. Mackenzie returned yesterday on
the Casca from a trip of several days
to Whitehorse. The gold commis
sioner was there on official business
and reports finding everything go
ing well. He says:
"I found Whitehorse imbued with
a spirit of optimise. They seemed
pleased that Mayo is showing up
well and also satisfied that tbev also
would show up some good things for
the territory in th# south end. es-1
peclally in the promising Wheatonj
district and In the copper belt. I
was glad to find them so optimistic.
"Dr. Alfred Thompson, member of
parliament for the Yukon, went up
on the Casca, and It was fortunate
that he was along, as there were five
sick people from Dawson en route
to various hospitals outside. The
doctor was busy looking to their
welfare day and night and 1 do not j
know what they would have done
without such service. He also is
traveling through with them on the
coast steamer to Vancouver. The
patients include Mrs. Rankin. Mr~
Sunderland. Mr. Pringle. Mr. Rimer
and Mr. Northey. Mr Pringle « -
very low and at one time we thought
he might not survive. The patierts
were cared for at the Vhitehoryi
hospital until taken on the train. I
The railway company kindly pro
vided an extra car. with every con -
fort for the patients."—Dawson
