GETTING TOGETHER

The effectiveness Of any organ ized movement toward a certain goal depends on two things - a carefully wrought plan and team work.
 Its fierce is not measured by the maximum of individual effort but by t-e total Of combined effort.
 Trot is getting together" It is -na way to get results.
 TH'3 spirit of teamwork is being exhipiteG by the Commercial club. The report of it's recent Get TO- gstheg" luncheon shows that.
 Ayl the fact that this Is true is Of tremendous importance to Skag- way because Skagway has import ant projects to accomplish and the Commercial club is the body that is 02ckiIg them.
 Districts outlying Skagway offer opportunities in farming. They mus first, however be reached by roads. To have these roads bull. Is one of the tasks which the Commercial club is undertaking.
 Tners would seem to be no doubt that the government, especially in view O. the national campaign for food production, to meet war needs, will Je ready to do its part in this road construction work.
 Planning developments already un der way in some of the districts, such d. that near Denver glacier, ara proof of the value of these farm lands. They are fertile enough and extensive enough to supply with food products not only Skag- way out many Alaskan towns which Gc not have agricultural lands.
 But this proof will have to be brought fOrcibIy to the attention Of t's proper officials. They must be made to see that Skagway be- lieyes to a man in these projected developments.
 Members of the Commercial club haya their own business affairs to attend to. But they are giving Of their timo for public improve ment. They are getting together" 10 help skagway and they should have tho support of everyone whose interests are here.
 Good citizenship requires more than simply n2king more Or less hopest returns of taxable property, paying those taxes when they fall due, voting when nothing more i'm pcrani interfares and otherwise be- ing what Is generally called "gcod citizen"
 Modern business methods have brought just as much competition for the town and city to face as 1t has fer the individual business man. ToEn and city building is becom- inP stg business.
 Passive good citizenship Is not enough to mee+ the situation. There must he active citizenship and ac- tive citizenship means work for the public welfare.
 The Commercial club is the or
The daily Alaskan., 1917-05-15

garizad body to carry on such work here. It is therefore incumbent on everyone who wants to see Skagway and who Is not already a member, to join the club.
 T "get together" spirit has been started by the club. Now let ev eryone take a part in 1t.

the up country and this fact will be
as element Of strength in his favor
when he goes into the race.
The introduction of an "air tight"
prohibition bill in the House OF Rep
rcsentatives by Representative w. r.
Richey of Laurens, one of the B.ease
leaders, caused some comment, but
indications are that it will have little
opportunity for favorable action. The
general public wonder what Mr..
Blease thinks OF the bill for if he has
been consistent in one thing it has
been for local option and has never
been accused of being a prohibitionist.
Mr.. Richey is an able parliamentarian
and will prove a strong champion for
his air tight bill and he undoubted-
ly will attract support from the eX-
treme wing Of the prOhibitionists who
are of the opposit political faith from
himself on State politics. And then
too there is a considerable element of
prohiDitionists Among the Bleasc MI
nority in the House.
The jockeying for position among
the various candidates for Governor
Of the minority faction is interesting to
onlookers and some decidedly uncX-
pcctcd developments may occur.
