FAULKNER SPEAKS ON AMERlCANISM

:, H.. l.. Faulkner of Juneau gave a very interesting address on Ameri- canism last night before a large an appreciative audience of Douglas and Treadwell residents. L. D. Tender son, who was to have addressed the meeting, was unable to be present. Tn his speech, Mir. Faulkner enlogized the constitution of the United States for it's virility and simplicity and maintained that the trouble with the '. W. WIS and other. radicals was not at this time So menacing to the country as was the lack of knowl- edge of the citizens of the workings of their own government. ' : MT. Faulkner made the point that the term democracy has been too broadly used; that democracy means Submitting matters of state to the direct vote of the people rather than to the representatives chosen by the people," as is the method of gov. ernment in republic, which form of government we are. y The balance of the program was very good and. the music was expe- cfalIy we'll received.

WANT A RAISE?
by ROGER w. BABsoN.

There was a chap named Smithers
who rose in the great world of COM
merce to the exalted position of as
sistant bookkeeper. He made this
progress in just eleven years by
doing just what he was paid to do,
and not one mite more.
Smithers was a consistent chap,
and this idea of getting -before-you-
give" had become a habit with him.
One Sunday, Smithers went down
cellar to feed the furnace. He de-
cided to dicker with il just as he
dickered with the boss, so he opened
the door, got n shovel of coal, and
said to the furnace:
"Now you give me some heat,
then I'll give you this coal"
The poor dub froze to DEATH
He didn't know that the first law
of nature requires that you give
before you get. Seeds must be plant
ed before the harvest. If We want
more money, we must first give a
heapirg measure Of service for our
present salary.
II We want a raise, we'll never
get IT by following the Smithers
plan. We will get more money only
by doing more than we are paid
to do. There are no crop failures
in the field of service. Your boss
doesn't determine your salary. You
do! a-.A40

irresponsible Idyls

The statesman strikes noble
pose and talks to benefit the race:
the Senator's about him doze the
while he agitates his face: he cites
examples from the past. he points
with pride in rolling tones, and
meanwhile -four is rising fast. a
suit of clothes costs ninety bones.
He heats the air from hour to hour
his language rambles in and out;
men know his deep. pneumatic pow
er, but none knows what he talks
about. Noon finds him still in
vibrant bray, time staggers on. and
household rents are soaring upward
day by day. and cabbages cost
so cents. He advocates a road to
pierce from Zanzibar to Guadaloupe; !;
with chuck steak prices something
fierce, we live on cambric tea and
soup. At length. when evening
shades prevail and dusk dims cap
itol and mint. he puts aside his
futile tale and ends by asking
leave to print" Which means they
put it up in bales on paper scarce
as Five Star booze. and then it over
loads the mails and comes to US

Again and still again we built

We strew the plains with villages

While still our eyes are oilnded'
while still we gasp and grope,
In maddened pride we re-erect the
City of our Hope.
We call some men our. enemies"
we call others friends
And pack the world in parcels to
serve our selfish ends.
We build our walls about us, we

We p ractice cries of conquest. we
