COUNTING THE COST

If our citizens would take pen cil and pad and count up the cost to Seward by keeping the hospital closed in this city, they would be as tonished at the amount of Seward money going out of town for surgical treatment. Thousands of dollars have been spent by Seward citizens in the Anchorage hospital, and thousands more will be spent unless the local institution is reopened soon. And the worst part Of the affair is that precious lives would be saved by hay ing a hospital here, as the waiting for trains and the long tide to An chorage is harder on a patient than the operation.
 While we have a competent physi- elan at hand, Seward needs a nurs- ing staff and a good surgeon to look after cases here and from the west ward. Figure it up, and see if the town is not losing money.

ALASKA IS STILL A DOG COUNTRY, SAYS WRITER;
 DOGS SELDOM FAIL TO REACH THEIR DESTINATION
Adam Breede in Outdoor America)

(Adam Breede in Outdoor America)
 You can get a good idea of the size of Alaska when you realize that it is as large as all of the States east of the Mississippi River, excepting Mississippi. It is larger than the or iginal thirteen States.
 Alaska has more coast line than the United States, it being twenty six thousand miles, or a greater dis tance than around the world
 Alaskans say that # the millions 'of dollars that have been invested in the railroad up there had been used for the building of good roads and public highways in their Territory, Alaska would soon grow by leaps and bounds, because the automobile has already pushed the horses and mules off the streets of Ketchikan Wrangen, Juneau and other cities or towns of any size.
 Alaska is still a dog country-that is, canines are an important factor in the transportation problem, and especially so in such places as are difficult of access
 For this purpose huskies and mala- mutes, two varieties of dogs bred from the wolf, have figured most con spicuously in the upbuilding of that country. Long before the Hudson's Bay company touched Alaskan soil the Indians up there were counting their dogs as their greatest assets, and they are still doing it, and there is very good reason to believe they will continue to do it for years to come.
 The husky is the stronger of the two varieties as it is bred from the timber wolf, the malamute being from the wild dogs that have roamed the hills and plains of snowcapped Alaska long before that country was discovered by white man.
 The husky and the malamute have played the most important part with the explorer, prospector, the miner and their services are still in great demand
 The Eskimo dog responds as quick ly to the word "mush" as a horse othe word "giddap" The word mush was brought into Alaska by French-Canadian dog drivers, who while working for the Hudson's Bay company, repeatedly telling their dogs to "marche on." This finally contracted to "mush," which means
Seward daily gateway., 1924-10-21

move on," "go ahead" make pro gress," depart" or hike"
 The Alaskan dog does not bark, but it sits on it's launches with it's head thrown back, its nose pointed straight up, and with it's mouth only partly open sends forth a blood-curdl- ing howl that make even the big tim bre wolf sit up and take notice.
 These dogs are husky beasts and can eat almost anything except tin cans Many are the acts of heroism that have been performed by the dogs of the Northland along the Yu- kon and Dawson trails, and it is not an uncommon sight to see a man doff lis hat to a dog.
 The greatest sporting event in the Northland every year is the annual All-Alaskan-Sweepstake-dog race, from Noe to Candle Creek and return, a distance of four hundred and twelve miles. It is not only a contest of endurance but it is one filled with dangers and thrills, and one that hold intense interest for every na- tive regardless of size, sex or age Consequently, nearly everybody is betting on the outcome.
 Months before the big event the dogs that are to be entered are care full trained and we'll fed, and the greatest care is given to their physi- cal condition, for if dog gives out or dies on the course it must be plac- ed on a sled and brought in at the finish of the race.
 The purses are all worth working for as the principal prize is usually good for ten thousand dollars in gold, and beautiful engraved cup. It is said that frequently quarter of million dollars is waged upon the result of the race.
 While the Eskimos and Indians punish their dogs severely at times, yet, take it as whole, they are kind and do not over-burden them A good husky will pack sixty pounds on his back all day and not make any fuss about it.
 The Alaskan dog makes a splendid pack animal, especially where there is no trail. The dog will dart here there, everywhere-dodging trees, fal- len timber, and wisely makes it's way through entangled brush and forests of devils clubs. And he will also climb rugged and jagged peaks where horse or mule can not go.
 Yes, Alaska is still a dog country

FRS AND TOURISTS
(Cordova Times)'

There is promise that next year there will be greater interest than ever in the scenic and industrial pos abilities of thenorth. There will un- doubtedly be more people coming to Alaska because of the wide publicity that the country has had and will re- ceive through the winter. As an in dex of what the outside is thinking of us attention might be called to the following article which appeared in the Seattle Post t-Intelligencer.
 Alaska is to be featured, with this state and the Northwest, in the east ern division campaign for October.
 The three railroads responsible for this advertising are spending millions of dollars to boost the Northwest, and Alaska, being about ripe for the home seeker, the business man and the in- vestor, is thus included in the plans for bringing thousands of new citi- zens to the Northwest.
 Recent publicity about Alaska, as well as the attention directed to the Territory by former President Hard ing's official visit, has accomplished much in dispelling the old ideas about Alaska being a land of ice. The country knows now that much of the great territory especially that adjac- ent the long coast line, has a mild and beneficent winter climate, not unlike that of the Pacific coast in general, and that there are thousands of acres of rich soil in the valleys capable of producing food crops and sustaining cattle.
 The government railway from Sew ard to Fairbanks, now in operation, taps rich country, that will ultimate ly sustain large population. A gov ernment engineer attached to the geo. logical survey, MT. R. H. Sargent, has been only recently in Seattle, ex- hi5iting photographs of ripened Alas kd wheat IleluS tlldl SHoulu go d loHS way toward settling the public mind as to the territorial farming possibil- ities.
 There is a promising field in the grea northern territory for thousands of home-seekers. They are begin ming tc answer the call now. Last

United Alaska spreads over 17 de- grees north and south, or as far as from New Orleans to Duluth, So that some variation of climate might be expected within it's borders. And cast and west the stretch is 58 degrees, or considerably more than from San Fran cisco to New York. Plenty of elbow room this way too, for diversities. The total area is nearly 100000 square miles, or one-t.fth the size Of the en- tire United States.

EMPLOYERS SCOLD TIGERT FOR URGING APPROVAL OF
 CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT

article, however, and it IS the basis of the entire agitation for this so-caffed child labor amendment We refer to that section which says that the amendment will arbitrarily remove a big labor clement That IS why or ganized labor is for this amendment. Organized labor alone will be the gainer, for, if the amendment Is passed tens of thousands of husky 16 and 17 year old boys, now engaged III learn ing a profitable trade or giving the aid they owe to their parents by helping out with the. having, blowing, etc., on the farm, will be legislated into life of indolence. Organized labor knows that this will cause labor shortage, so that it will be justified in calling for wage advances all down the line; that it will kill apprentice training and bring about an acute and almost critl- cal situation when the future is con sidered"
 The utter absurdity of the state ments made in the foregoing is appar- ent when the proposed amendment is read. It simply provides that The Congress shall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under Is years of age" The amendment is simply an enabling act authorizing Congress to pass child la bor legislation and that Congress would approve a law forbidding boys to work on their fathers farms Is i'm probable in the extreme.

Police Censorship Foolish and
 Dangerous
Dangerous

Police censorship of alleged in~ decent or immoral theatrical pro- ductions is not only foolish but 1t is dangerous; foolish because 1t is seldom that the police are qualified to act as dramatic crit ics and dangerous because 1t lays the foundation for police censor ship of the spoken and printed word.
 The police have no business censoring the theater Censor ship is not part of their duty. If show or motion picture violates the law in any way, there are lawful methods for putting a stop to the violation, but censorship IS not one of these There Is no reason why the police should ''butt in" unless duly sworn complaint against the offending production has been made by a citizen Then it is up to the po- lice and the courts to act in ac- cordance with legal procedure.

CLASS DISTINCTION
 IN ENGLAND HOLDS
 BACK THE WORKERS
"Sir" Region Without a Single Labor M. P.; Farm Tenants Kept
 In Ignorance.

London, Nov. 22.-people say Sir" here in way that is hardly understand able to an American An important election condition lies back of 1t. It is one of those signs of the class distinc- ton whisch the labor movement here Is out to break down.
 I've had some curious stories of workmen fired as Nagitators because they failed to sir" their foreman; and in many a rural area, woe to the farm hand who fails to sir" and touch his cap to his farmer-boss.
 This sir region, for example, makes solid belt across southwest England, l the rural area where there isn't sim gle Labor M P. and where local La bor parties are weak and struggling. They struggle against the squire and the parson'' combination which tells the agricultural worker which way he votes and which way he worships Church of England or "chapel-")
 The following 7s fair summary of statements made to me while 1 was vis- iting in Hampshire during the cam paign:
 Farm laborers are afraid to listen to the Labor candidates They may col lect behind hedge and the candidate in his car on the road talks at their heads Suddenly the heads duck, and most fail to reappear; they've seen a big owning farmer coming jogging down that road.
 They don't believe the ballot is se- cret; leaflets have to, be got out, show ing the ballots in official secret custody, to prove to them that their farmers can't learn how they've voted. In polling booths they often find their squire IS the official in charge. who may handle their marked ballot holding 1t to the light in such way as to see,. or appear to see, where the X is. It. Is illegal to handle the ballot, but who dares to stop the squire?
 An American lady living here gave a tea for the new Labor candidate; next day her Tory landlady visited her and ordered her to give up the house. Farm
 
 CTS ask their hands which way they mean to vote; if the answer is hesitant, or anything except prompt "Conserva- tive" the fellow may lose his job, he knows that unemployment is rife. With his job may go his cottage;, the two are tied together; and he knows there's a housing shortage all over Britains he knows of families all the time wander ing to find a roof.
 There are farmers who won't toler- ate Liberal among their workers, let alone Labor And they're too simply honest to answer Conservative and then vote Labor; so there you are. The only paper they read will be weekly filled year in year out with poison SO far as Labor Is concerned. Some don't know there Is Labor government others believe the new laws were passed as they are told, by the Tories. He be lieves that many things are not meant for the likes of him., or his children"
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-11-22

Any action outside of the con- stituted procedure should be wig orously condemned.
 Police censorship of the theater is seldom sincere. Ninety nine times out of hundred 1t Is simply a move to get publicity for certain shows and the police and the theater managers are working together to this end. The publi cis fooled into believ- ing that the police are acting to protect the public, whereas they are really acting to swell the theater managers bank roll. This is fact that can not be em- phasized too often.
 If the police of your town try their hand at censorship, pro- test, and protest hard. Police censorship of one thing leads in- evitably to police censorship of many things and when that comes, freedom IS dead.

By Internationaf Labor News Service

By Tnfernational Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.-How strongly short-sighted and selfish busi- ness interests resent the advocacy of humanitarian proposals by government tai agencies IS illustrated by an out burst of spleen indu1ged in by the Associated Industries of New York, State, Inc
 The Associated Industries, which represents the big 'open shop labor hating interests of New York, has just jumped with both feet on the United States Bureau of Education, Depart ment of the Interior, for daring to urge approval of the proposed child labor amendment to the Constitution As International Labor News Service told some weeks ago, the bureau S opinion was expressed in an article in it's Rural News Letter." pointing out that farmers have a vital interest in the passage of the amendment. In ternationa1 Labor News Service also told how Commissioner John T. Tiger of the Bureau of Education later apol- ogized for urging protection of child workers.
 It is apparent that pressure was put on Commissioner Tigert to withdraw his defence of the child labor amend ment and the attack of the Associated Industries indicates what kind of pres sure was applied.
 After quoting the Bureau of Educa- ton in advocacy of the child labor amendment, the Associated Industries, in its organ, the Monitor, declares the article is "just another fragrant in stance of a government bureau being used as a medium of propaganda" and constitutes "a grave reflection" on the bureau. Then the Monitor goes on with the following gem of prejudiced and lying argument:
