WHO Is IT THAT
 WANTS TO RUN ALAskA2

The Hon. Geo. Baldwin, in his speech recently made in Eagle hall at valdez asks one question of the people of Alaska that each voter should we'll consider for here is Alaska's greatest menace. He asks: Are the people of Alaska going to acknowledge themselves mentally bankrupt and advertise to the world that they are unable to run their politics and must have non residents from the states to man. age their political affairs9"
 To which the Valdez Truth an- swers:
 Who has run Alaskan affairs for the last five years? Answer, Shackleford, Hoggatt. Clark, Piles and others. Now that it looks like democratic president, who wants to run Alaska? Answer: Daly, Dunn and Jennings, and a lot of other gimblet-legged politicians of Seattle who, tired of Alaska when there was no office in sight, but who are now looking northward again"

There are mighty few new Ideas born each year. Most of the things we are thinking today are but echoes of the thoughts of our ancestors when mankind was young
 That present day gag about wishing to have neck as long as giraffe so that pie would taste good all the way down, is but a reteiling of a story by Horace. the Latin poet, who lived before the time of Christ, only he applied it to swan, be- cause he didn't know anything about giraffe, That is as far back as we can remember so cant say where Horace got it from. Half the jokes and philosophical ponder osities that are going the rounds to- day ne the thoughts of the dim nast that have been stolen and re- written to fit present times. They are the lingering marks of bygone and forgotten age. This observa- ton simply leads us up to the point that we should not swell up over thinking we are wiser than some one else. The probabilities are that most of us are monkeys in comparison with those who lived before this race of grafters and of- flee holders was ever heard of.

Our proposal is to leave the

functions and where they thwart
the will of the people expressed
through the legislative branch of
the government we propose to give
