RABIDLy LOCAL
Steward Gateway)


 In saying that Alaska newspapers when rhey be- come local at all become rabidly local Commissioner Riggs of the Alaska Engineering Commission got off something that deserves to be preserved and bered The saying expresses in ntshel fact which is deporable but which it must be said is hardly avoid able Like people living in small towns papers pub lished in small towns always threatened with the danger of becoming marrow It is strange what re- marSable influence environment has the human mind. If prisoner is cooped up in cell the spiders on tho wall become objects of paramount interest to him. Byron tells haw the mice at moonlight play ing" became almost the friends of Bonnivard in his dungeon In limited range of vision small things look large. lump of sugar looks larger in the bowl of a pipe than mountain looks in vast stretch of land scape The palm of our hand when held too closely to the eyes can shut off the view of an ocean. For similar reasons local objects assume too im- portant stature when we nothing else and live amongst them too long but the prisoner in his cell might by mental effort look beyond the spider SO might by less effort refuse to let he petty local considerations occupy all thoughts to the exclusion Of everything else.
 The the paper which refuses to take into account the rest of Alaska and the rest of the world is lost It is only step further to the condition which makes man count the cracks in the sidewalk as he moves along the street "Rabidly local" is a phase that ought to stick.

To the pioneers of Alaska 1t sounds rather funny to hear warnings given to people to keep away from the Territory. What harm in the world would 1t do if Q lot of young did here and did go broke? Why in the old days faced the Alaska wilderness when something to face. They went broke Men who went broke had never before known what the word prove meant and they dug their way and made men of themselves by doing it.
