STATEHOOD FOR
ALASKA IS NOT
FAR IN FUTURE
Dr. J. J. Tigert, in Fourth
Oration, Forecasts Great
Alaska Development.
Education of the people of the.
States regarding Alaska, Induced by;
the visit of President Harding to|
the Territory, will lead in noj
lengthy period of time to such de
velopment as will give it rank as aj
sovereign commonwealth in the re-!
public, declared Dr. John J. TigerR, j
tJ. SI Commissioner of Education, in
his fourth of July address here yes
terday morning.
Liberty, quality and unity were
the three principles set forth to the
world as the foundation of the Am
erican republic in the Declaration
of Independence which was penned
by Thomas Jefferson and embodied
his ideas, he said. Education, de
clared the speaker, 1ms been the
main factor in the perpetuation of
three principles and the wonderful
growth of the United Slates.
Several hundred people heard the i
reading of the Declaration of Inde-I
pendence by B. A. Rosselle and Dr. j
Tigcrt’s Bpeech at the Palace Theatre
which was donated by Manager John
T. Kpickett after rain had forced the
committee to abandon its plan for
outdooi exercises yesterday morning.
Jlutlc at the exercises was furnished
by ti e City Band.
Hakes Fine Address.
In rapid (ire manner. Dr. Tigert.
presented the manner in which the j
American republic was formed, the,
underlying principles, established |
and the purposes of this government!
as set forth in the preamble to thej
Constitution. He gave succinctly j
the trials it has withstood without
going into details. The last decade
of tha nineteenth century, he de
clared, had seen In the growth of
the United States the miracle of the
century. The great wealth and re
serve strength this country had built
up, he added, in tho World War
ha I decided the issue there in favor
of Democracy and against Auto
cracy.
The aftermath of the war was
more dangerous to the republic than
was war. Its unity was challenged
by many "lsma,” bolshevism, com
miiuism, oocialst, laborism and
others which, while subsiding lo
some degree, still threaten America.
Alaskans, he asserted, are fortunate
that the Territory was purchased by
the United dt ites some &6 years a?o
Had Alaska still been a province of
Russia it would have been dragged
Into the abysc of bolshevism which
liar bankrupt'd Russia, the only na
tion with greater resources than the
United States.
New Era Foreseen.
Alaska is on the eve or a new
era, said Dr. Tigert. The approv
ing visit of the President of the
United States he said would extend
the vision of the people of thp S‘atc.°
beyond the Canudtan border and
give them a realization of Aluska,
and be a fore-runner of the time
when the uorthlund will become a
unit in the constellation of stars
forming the American Union. The
time is not far distant, he added,
when a great multitude of people
will live in Alaska and great cities
will he built up here.
Education as a great factor ‘n the
coming development of Alaska was
urged. Past history, he said, has
conclusively established the fact that
the products of the mind far exceed
the product of the land. Edison
whom he declared to be the greatest
living American trom the standpoint
of service to humanity and industry,
has a brain product of $12,000,
000,000.
Dr. Tigert closed with an eulogy
of Washington and Lincoln us the
greatest of Americans.

Are you fair
to your watch?
An automobile needs frequent

CARBON in the motor of i

yet the carbon will accumulate.
The car owner, knowing this, haa
his cor frequently overhauled—
and the carbon removed.
And yet this same man, per*

mechanism infinitely more deli

Your automobile performs oc

has to run continously for a full
twenty-four hours each day.
Look at your watch. How long
has it been since you took it to

If your watch is to run at its
