 Local (. (,
The following letter was received through the mail yesterday and We are publishing same:

October, 10, 1922. Skagway Commercial Club,
 Skagway, Alaska.
 Gentlemen:
 What's the matter with Alaskan" IS the question familiar to every AL askan and one which each resident answers in his own way. It is like wise a question being answered in various ways by non-residents who have been studying tIe affairs of the Territory. Consequently, the an swers reaching Washington are var led and often contradictory. Con gerssmen and departmental officers criticize Alaskans for not agreeing upon what is needed. The result has been inadequate constructive action upon the part of the Federal author ities.
 There is obviously one remedy. Now is the time to give thought to those constructive policies which will develop the country into a pros porous community with a population commensurate with its support. AL askaus must get together, discuss and agree upon a program. With every section backing a definite plan the national government Will doubt less respond. This suggests a cen ,ral commercial organization. Ow- ing to distances or travel, lack of time and high transportation and other expenses. it has been impraCti- cable to get the business men togeth- CT for conference for this purpose. For that reason it is now proposed that representatives to the legisla- Jure next spring be authorized by their constituents to support the or ganizatiOn of a Central Chamber of Commerce to set forth the basic needs of the respective districts and the necessities for the territory at large. This body could become a member of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States and thru that Valued agency obtain recogni- tion.
 An appropriation of S1, 100000 for a new cable will be considered by the next Congress, therefore, each community and commercial organization is urged to forward us l strong resolutions Gin duplicate) to | be sent to the Delegate, emphasizing i the necessity for this additional line | of communication in furtherance of i the commercial development of the

other channel, Just as there are pso-
pie who give all to the Army.
In the next place. every city of
the size of Ardmore maintains all
these organizations, and it would be
quite step backward to adopt
such policy. The city needs, and
no doubt will gladly support, any
and all organizations whose work
looks to the help of those really
in need.
Besides. both the Associated
Charities and the Red Cross are
nationwide institutions doing i'm
measurable good and whose busi-
ness is not only to aid those al
ready in need but whose work has
been such as to make citizens who
will not become objects of charity.
Again the Ardmoreite repeats
there should not be any retrench-
ment, but rather enlargement and
advancement.

UGLY STATISTICS

Statistics published by the health
service OF the American Red Cross
show that deaths among children OF
school age due to accidents are pro-
portonatley much larger than
among either young children or
older persons. Out OF each 1000
deaths OF children between the ages
OF five and nine, l67 are due TO
accidents; OF children between 10
and ~, w are due to accidents.
In proportion deaths due to acci-
dent among children under five
years OF age and among adults are
quite small.
No parents need to be told that
the most valuable possessions they
have are their children. But it ap-
pears that there is great need for
some power to instill into the minds
OF civil authority the conviction
that the most valuable asset the
state possesses is its children.
Accidents do not happen" There
is cause for every accident. Par
ticularly is this true of traffic acci-
dents, which are assuming alarming
proportions in the larger centers.
OF what use is it to the municipal.
ity or the state to spend large sums
in educating child to grow up
to be good citizen if it permits
him to be killed by an automobile
before lie becomes an economic fac
tor in the community life?
Cities and traffic bureaus search
madly for remedies for traffic acci-
dents; safety weeks" are proposed,
debated, held; new and more dras-
tic traffic rules are formulated, and
more or less enforced; more severe
penalties are inflicted by judges for
driving recklessly, but the accidents
continue.
1t would seem that the engineer
ing brains which built a Panama
Canal, took two million men to Eu-
rope in the face OF submarines, and
built and perfected the largest rail-
road and telephone systems in the
world, might solve this problem, /.
too. But while the remedy is lett
in the hands OF policemen to for
mulate, no matter how interested
or willing, or while the answer to
the problem is given into the hands /
OF aldermen, mayors. and leading
citizens, no matter how well-mean-
ing, We will still continue to kill
our children.
Traffic accidents 10 the young is
a subject OF national concern, of
concern, city and town concern, of
such gravity and magnitude that
their prevention deserves the con-
sideration OF the very best minds in
the country.

DIVISION OF CHARITY

The suggestion has been offered
that the Associated Charities and
he Red Cross work in the city be
discontinued and all matters COM
ing under these departments be
turned over to the Salvation Army.
The Ardmoreite would not dis
count the Salvation Army nor the
splendid work it is doing. There
is no more worthy cause nor has
any charity institution done more
for the uplifting and redemption OF
fallen humanity The accomplish
menis OF this organization in Ard.
more have been almos, miraculous.
lnd its record everywhere has been
II the very highest order. These
are outstanding facts and OF public
knowledge and need no special com.
ment.
The Ardmorei,c thinks, however.
that it would not be good policy
to discontinue the work Of the
Associated Charities or the Red
Cross or to surrender the places
filed and work done by these or.
carnations to any other institution.
In the first place there is suhi-
cient work here to employ all Of
these agencies. No one OF these
can cover the entire field. Besides,
there are those in the city who arc
partial to or at least are peculiarly
interested in the Red Cross and the
Associated Charities. and possibly
would not contribute through any

MURDER MUCH TOO FREQUENT

tion for killing. II may be done in self.
defense. or in the protection OF home or
property. There may be only circum.
stantial evidence to connect up a de
fendant with the victim OF the murder
For all such due consideration should be-
shown. The playwright who wrote. 'le,

good advice.

PATTERSON WEEK

The present week. from Novem-
Der 18th to 18th, is designated ma
tionally as father and son week,
during which it is urged that
fathers renew their interest in pa
rental obligations, and that boys
cultivate deeper respect and ap-
probation for their fathers and
homes.
To provide for and foster the
moral. intellectual and physical de-
velopment OF his son is a afther's
duty. Between providing for and
yelopment OF his son is fathers
these qualities, we think the latter
is the more important.
To father, there is no obhga-
ton so vital or far-reaching as that
which he owes to his child. This is
readily understood when il is re-
membered that destiny is largely
shaped in childhood and that no
one comes into or should come
into such close relationship to the
child as the parent.
To the average boy no man
stands out with such prominence
as father. Around him all else re-
wolves; he is the center and acme
of all that is worthy, and this is
true until the boy is disillusioned
bv some act OF his father, 1t be-
hooves the father that he use this
advantage to start the son on the
way to splendid manhood.
In proportion as the son re-
,pects the father who is worthy
and in whose heart burns the love
ior home Just so far will his life
he ordered along lines OF character
development and high ideals. 1t
becomes then not only duty but
he highest prerogative OF the faith
err to guide the youthful steps
Alright.
Precept is good when mixed with
example and then only. No father
can influence the son to the more
sacred things OF lie who does not
himself have high regard for them
and give at least a reasonable por-
ion OF his time and all his inilu-
ence to their promotion.
II should be the purpose then OF
he father because OF his love for,
his relation to and his responsibility
ior his son not only regard religious
ly the Observance OF Father and
Son Week, but every day to train
,he boy in body, mind and heart
in that way which shall bring TO
him the very happiest and most
useful manhood.
