DELEGATE-ELECT WANTS
ALASKANS TO AID IN WORK
“I made the campaign on thee pro
gram set forth by the Democratic
party in. the platform adopted at he
Territorial convention , at Fairbanks
last January.” stated Delegate-elect
A. J. Dimond at Juneau shortly after
the bite election. “The principal plank
in that document was a pled.ge to ob
tain for Alaska all of the ppvvers of a
self government possessed by every
other American territory. It will be
my object to carry out that promisse..
• During the campaign. I made a
specific pledge to seek from Congress
the power for the Alaska Legislature,
to control the fisheries, fur and game
resources of the Territory. I shall
exert every facility I possess to make
that promise good.
“Attainment of these objectives
cannot he achieved without a unity of
Alaska support,” he pointed ont_ “In
order that we may reach the goals we
have, set, it is necessary that Alas
kans unite in a common cause and
work without dissension. I am sure
that ,they will do so."
In the matter of patronage Senator
Dimqnd’s position is certain to be
approved ..by all Alaskans, whatever
their, p.aptv ^affiliation. “I shall insist
hat pnly AJ '.skgps be appointed to I
fill positions, in. Alaska,” he declared. I
“W e have pqo.dg .-who are qualified1
for every office office to be; filled, and
no one who is.not an Alaskan.will be;
appointed with my consent _and,”. he
added with a smile, “over my dead
body,
“In patronage matters l shall, of
course, work in closest harmony with
the Territorial organization. Thus, in
the filling of the offices, there are two
essentials to bt observed. First, the
opplicant for a position must be a
bonal. fide Alaskan; and, second, he
must: have the endorsement of the
Territorial organization,” asserted the
Delegate-elect,
The unty of interests of all sections
of Alaska was the most striking fea
ure observed, by him during the past
three months of traye labout the Ter
ritory, Delegate-elect Anthony J. Di
mond told the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce in his first public utterance
following his election.
At the present stage of its develop
nient, he said, most of the problems,
particularly those of the fisheries, are
l common alike to all sections, and a
division of the Territory at this time
would not aid in their saluion. Until
'here is a considerable population
growth, there is nothing to be gained
. in seeking division, he declared.
The Delegate-elect invited, the Cham
ber, to call upon him freely in Wash
. ington for service, saving that is one
of he things ho is going to t.he Na
tional. Capital to dy. "Oue great need
i: he p to the Delegate from all Alas
kans who so graciously electeu me to
Congress, “1 ask for that help, and
sodeit their advice, particularly from
the cha abacs of commerce, ah over
the Terrkojry,” he sa-J.
iur. D ipond sa.d he would under
take ip obtain, for sailors on vessels of
jess than lie tons the benefits of the
Marine , Hospital Service. “If sailors
on 5,000-ton vessels are entitled to
hospitalization and medical service,
those on five-ton boats, are, also. And
1 kno wof no reason why it ought not
to be extended to them. There may
be perfectly sound, reasons for their
exclusion, but I don’t, know of them.”

WHY PEOPLE SMILE.
V Tragic Solution. 1
Two ladies in«a ear disputed con
cern ng the window, and at last called
the conductor as /eieree. *
“If tiiiirv window is open,” one de- $
a “I • ha;l catch co.d, and w.i
pr. bably die."
“!C the window is"shut,” the othere
arnoinc?:, “I shall certainly suffo
cate.” The two'glared at each: other.
The conductor was at a loss, but he
welecomed the words of a man with
a red nose who sat near. These were:
“First, open the window, condaetor
That will kill one. Then, shut it. That j
will kill the other. Then we can have!
peace.”
Ole ‘Tempus Fugit.’ •
A young man walked into a sta
tionery store to buy a fountain pen.
The young lady who waited on him
handed him a pen, a bottle of ink and
a sheet of paper on which to try out
the writing qualities of the pen.
Dipping the pen in the ink, the
young man nbegan writing, tempus
fugit, tempus fugit, tempus fugit.
Stopping a moment to examine the
pen point, the young saleslady glanc
ed at what had been written and
said:, “Mr. Fugit. if that pen ain’t ,
all right, just try this one.”
Those New Rules.
“Hello 1 la this the city bridge de
partment ? ”
“Yes, ma’am. What do you want?”/
“How many points do you get for
a; little slam?”—New York Sun.
Hardly Fair.
“One of your references has re
plied to say that you are lazy, de
ceitful, untidy and thoroughly dis
honest.”
“Is that all? Nothing about my
puff-pastry?’ —Punch. (London).
Kaye Don was talking at Daytona
Beach about certain wrangles.
“All those things were due to a
misunderstanding,” he said* “I was
as badly misunderstood as the garage
man.
“‘Jpicel’ said,the garage man, as
a touring car pulled up.
“ ‘Veil,, vat if we are?’ said the man
at the wheel. ‘Don’t we get no gas?’ ”
