How Few Stand

One is that millions Of motor
care Of nearly three hundred
makes have been marketed in

Passing in review all Of the
100 makes which are still in
existence, he will not be able
TO think OF another car in it's
class Of which he-and every
one else thinks as highly as
be does Of the Hupmobile.
II he asks himself why this is
so. he wiill find that it is be-
cause he has, consciously or
unconsciously. recognized in
the Hupmobile those very
elements of reliability which
every man hopes to get when
he buys motor car.

TERRITORIAL FUNDS AND OFFICES

Renorts from the capital indicate that there may be a shortage of territorial funds ere the next leoislature meets to provide new or addl- 4ional means of raising revenues And 1n thls connection suggestion has been made that Ill the next legislature steps would be token to eliminate some of the offices which were previously created and particularly those of the mining inspector and attorney general
 These suggestions, like all others directed toward economy, may be deserving of some consideration. There appears no doubt that the mininp inspectors. office is one that IS of some value to the Territory, but ln vlew of the fact that the same work IS quite well taken care of by federal agencies and the money eynended on the office directed to more needful purposes, 1t might be elmnated without any very bad results. It cannot De said that the office is of no use, nor that It renders no service to the territory. 1t doeS render a service, but not one commensurate with the expense, especially Tn view of the hiob taxation and the need of funds for other more important work.
 As to the abolition of the office of attorney general. it is rediculous to consider for mom- 7npnt. A territory the size of Alaska must have legal counsel and it must have an o1tl0er who will be responsible to the people tor ms actions in office There are matters coming un constantly, almost daily, In the handling of the affairs of the territorial government which require the opinion and services of the attorney general.
 There is little doubt that some of the propa- nanda started for the abolition of this office orieinates in the camp of political opponents of the incumbent And without holding any brief for the incumbent the Chronicle IS of the opinion that such an attitude on the nart of such opponents is short-s@hted, of selfish design and aqainst the public interest and It is to be hoped that it will not be considered.
 It is not the present moment which must alone be considered in such matters, but the great future.-Ketchikan Chronicle
The Cordova daily times., 1922-08-16
PEOPLE SHOULD BACK UP PLAN

Tie effort of Delegate Sutherland to in duce the War Department to assign an army aerial squadron to Alaska should receive the backing of all the people of Alaska If the ef- fort should succeed it would result in determ- ming the usefulness of aerial navigation in Alaska, and if it should prove as successful as could be hoped it would probably be followed by commercial companies with airplane bases at various places in the North.
 The Government is in better position to pioneer in this work in Alaska than any other agency. The War Department has airplanes and men to man them. They must continue to have them and the men must be trained Al aska would give the men in the service new field in which to work and the training neces sary to tackle new and difficult problems Therefore the cost to the Government would not be large, the benefit to the service would not be inconsiderable and the pOtentlaIltles as far as Alaska is concerned almost limtless.

left her headed for Lord-knoWs- Where, in latitude forty-nine, With a cargo of deals* from Puget Sound and her bows blown off by a mine:
 I saw her just as the sun went down; saw her-floating still And q hope them deals will let her sink afore so long," said Bill. It warn't no use to stand by her; she could neither sail nor steer, With the better part of a thousand miles between her and Cape Clear. The sea was up to her waterways and gaining fast below, But I'd like to know that she went to her rest as a ship has a right to go.
 For it's bitter hard on a decent shlp' look at it how you may, When she's worked her traverse and done her trick and sailed with the best in her day. To be floatin' around like nine-day drowned on the western ocean swell,
 With never a one to hand and reef or steer and strike the bell. No one to tend her pinnacle lamps or light her masthead light, Or SCOUT her planking, or scrape her seams when the days are sunny and bright; No one to sit on her hatch and smoke and yarn when the day was done,
 And say, That gear wants reevin new some fine dog-watch, my son" No one to stand by the halyard pin when it's comin' on to blow; Never the roar of "Rio Grande' to the watch's stamp and go; Just the sea birds sittin' along the rail and callin' the long day through, Like the souls of old dead sailormen that used to be, her crew. Never a port of all her ports for her to fetch again; Nothing; only the sea and sky, the sun and the wind and the rain. / It's cruel hard on decent ship, and so I tell you true, That wish I knew she had gone to her rest as good ship ought to do.-John A.

FEARFUL COST OF TWO STRIKES

There is food for very serious thought m the official government estimates of the loss es to the strikers, to the employees and to the business of the country in the two nationwide strikes now going on.
 More than half billion dollars-$533, ,OOO,- OC0-is the portentous aggregate of these loss as, divided as follows:
 Railway workers and coal miners, at an ay- craze of $7,50O,000 a day, have lost $193OOO,- GOO in wages
 The coal operators have lost $240OOO,OOO, estimating $1 ton for bituminous coal that would have been mined during the sixteen weeks of the strike.
 al-$433 100000 for these two items.
 The railroads are estimated to have lost the remaining $1OO,OOOOO0 through curtailed transportation facilities and other expenses
 There are 69O,OOO miners and 550,000 rail road workers on strike, according to the es- innate, an appalling total of 1,240000 men idle at a time when every effort is being made to reduce involuntary unemployment to a min- imum that the country may get back to normal industrial and economic conditions.
 Is there any sound or honest reason why
