AN ILLUSTRATION

An illustration of the tendency of the times to procure efficient men to serve the public in official positions that require technical knowledge, 1r- respective of politics or residence, was afforded not long since when the state of Pennsylvania selected a citi- zen of the state of New York to be superintendent of public instruction a position comparing with that of commissioner of education in Alaska. That did not mean that the superin- tendent of public instruction of :he state of Pennsylvania was any the less servant of the people of Penn sylvania than he would have been had he been a citizen of Pennsylvania and elected to the office by the voters of that state He became their ser want because he was responsible to them for his stewardship.
 When a man is selected to fill a technical position by the governor or
 
 be removed, if he fails to make good. If an incompetent man should be elected to such a position by the voters for a stated term of years the public service must suffer until his term of office shall have run it's course And, further usually the men best qualified to serve in techni- cal positions are not clever politicians. They are men who have been tco busy with their professions to master the art of winning votes.
 It would be just as reasonable to require the voters of the muncipali- ties in Alaska to elect the city school superintendents and teaching staffs as to elect the territorial commis- sloner of education. It would be less dangerous to provide for the cleo tion of board of education than for the election of commissioner Of edu- cation. However, the majority of the board of education in Alaska is com posed of elective members. The hold over senators, elected by the people of the separate divisions, and the gov ernor, constitute a board of education. The board of education for, the last two years has consisted of Gov. Riggs and J. R. Heckman, John Sundback, John Roman and D. A. Sutherland. The board for the next two years will be the governor, whoever he may be, and Senators Britt, Frawley, Price and Hess.-Juneau Empire.

funds to begin work on rather elaborate program of road building with the assurance that additional funds will be appropriated during the special session of congress- And many men will be needed for that work, at the going wages of the districts in which work is undertaken. There will be increased coal mining activities along the government railroad dur ing the summer, the operation of newly y-installed hydraulic plants in several interior districts. open cut work on many properties, work on the farms during the planting and harvesting seasons, fishing on the lower Yukon and considerable work along the rivers, enough in all to keep many men occupied at good wages during the entire summer.
 And for a very large part of this activity, Nenana will be the point of distribution, with rails and rivers radiating in all directions for both labor and supplies. It is not bad outlook for summer, and if the Alaskan engineering commission will fulfill it's promise to bridge the gap in the railroad during January or whereabouts, the winter will take care of itself.-Nenana News.

WHY ADVERTISE?

The New York Federal Reserve Bank reports a healthful trend back to normal in the financial world This tendency is welcome, and it can be retarded only by those of little faith. A distinguished writer on economic subjects outlines three principles for general consideration by business men. First, keep firm hold on Second, "broader and wider tolerance than you have ever had before.' Third, use of the blessed sense of humor'
 These principles truly may be sad to be Lincolian. These are the essentials of business optimism But optimism without effort is as useless and dead as faith without works.
 It is certified by indisputable tinan. icial authority that of all the busi ness failures in 1920, S4 per cent were of concerns that did not adver, 'tise their business. " Here is the answer to: the question. Why adver- tise? The majority of modern busi. ness men understand the, nature and quality of this value. An. adequate volume of advertising insures to na, ,tions as to individuals large mar. kets, and larger markets confer ma, tiOnal prosperity
 But times are uncertain, unempIoy. .ment is growing, the bow-wows are i'm. ,minent, and Grrrrgh! &c.,, stammers the disciple of little faith and no initiative.
 In answer to that the former presi, dent of the LackaWanna railroad re- plies: Advertising is the magic key that unlocks the gates of the com. tmercial prosperity and floods busi ness with new life. It is the one factor in business powerful enough to turn disaster into success. It's practical value lies in the fact that it stimulates consumption.
 Wherefore, concludes this scientific ,optimist, the logical time for persist, ent advertising is when consumption is at low ebb.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE OUTLOOK IS GOOD

AS the News sees it, the outlook for interior Alaska is brighter than it has been for number of years The period of stagnation, brought about by the war and high prices, appears to be about at an end, and from now on the development of the northland should make strides.
 For some time past the steamers have been coming north with full passenger lists and there are indica- tions that the travel will break all records before the season is well ad- vanced. Not all of these arrivals, it is true, will come to interior Alaska but many of them will Some are already here and the report is that many are following them over the trail, bringing with them the promise Of full crews for the railroad, the wagon road commission and the mines, many of which will be oper- ated as soon as labor is available and the cost of supplies restored to
 
 near-normal levels, which should be very soon after the opening of navi- gation. With work in sight for all who arrive, and indications of a heavy tourist travel in addition, the summer should be a prosperous one, with enough money in circulation to fill the hills with prospectors in the winter to follow. The summer will be starter on the road to prosperity and permanent development and it Is certain that the linking of the rails on the government railroad, early next winter, will give impetus to the forward movement.
 The Alaskan engineering commits sion now has funds available to complete the railroad. All that is needed is men to do the work. The Alaska road commission !, has ample

WANT WOODEN SHIPS FOR LIGHTSHIP SERVICE

Resolutions indorsing the proposal of Hugh M Delanty of Aberdeen. that the shipping boards completed wood en steamships be assigned to duty as lightships on the Alaska, Washington Oregon and California coast, where 40 more such vessels are needed were adopted by the Pacific American Steamship Company at a meeting in San Francisco. The need of many more lightships, especially in Alas ka waters, has been admitted by the government for years, but the neces- sary money never has been provid- ed by congress.
 MT. Delanty, who is general man. ager of the Grays Harbor Stevedoring Company, hopes to interest the north west chambers of commerce in the plan. He arrived back in Aberdeen a few days ago after an extended visit in California, where he, took up the proposition with the shipping in- terests in San Francisco and Los Angeles. In both places he was as- sured of strong support.
 He brought forward the plan for using the completed wooden ships as l1ghtships some time ago when he found that the government did not nave the money to establish a light ship near the entrance to Grays liar bor, though the assignment of such a vessel to those waters had been ordered

CHURCH STRONGER,
PASTOR DECLARES
BY MILTON BRoNNER

The Rev. Charles l.. Candee, of
Westminster Presbyterian Church in
a sermon yesterday, said The
church is stronger today than it has
ever been before The church was
weaker when the Kiaser was in pow
er for ne made as his motto Blessed
are they that draw the sword, in
stead Of Blessed are the peace-mak-
ers; for they shall be called the chill
dren Of God.
'Ye are the salt Of the earth, and
surely this is a responsibility" con-
tinued Dr. Candee, in speaking on
the text of his sermon, THE Chris
tian's Opportunity and the Christian
Responsibility"
yet are the salt of the earth
and salt is used to preserve-to con-
serve. Therefore it falls on the peo-
pie who are Christians TO take care
of others to preserve them. The
preacher said
1T has been known, however That
fields of salt not properly cared for
have become a menace. Instead OF
preserving it dislntegrates when not
properly used: il causes destruction.
This Is Chrlst's world and you are
Christ's children. and the world is
better for it," concluded DIT. Can
dee
