FOOD PROTECTION
! HEARING SLATED
D. c. Heads to Consider Re-
vised Regulations for Pro-
visions on Sale.

The District Commissioners an.
nounced today that another public
hearing would be held in the board
room Of the District Building at 10
o'clock on September 80 to consider
3. revised regulation for the protec-
ton Of certain foodstuffs exhibited
for sale In stores and markets.
Since the first hearing was held
several weeks ago, Health officer
William c. Fowler has changed the
language Of the proposed rule with a
view to eliminating the objection
raised by storekeepers to the origi-
nal provision which would have re-
dSAred them to install glass show
cases for such commodities.
In the revised draft DIR. Fowler has
used the term sanitary container." !"
which would give dealers more discre-
tion in deciding upon the method Of
protecting their foodstuffs.
Regulation for Poultry.
Another change proposed is a
clause which prohibits the keeping of
live poultry in any room in which the
foodstuffs under consideration are eX-
posed for sale. The text of the re-
vised regulation to be considered on
september 81 1OllOWSs

Being an American carries with it a great responsibility. One cannot simply exist in America and claim the dis tinction of being an American. He may not be un-American; he may be just a passive Amer ican entitled to the distinction by reason of living under the American flag. It is true that the American flag protects many people not wholly wor- thy of it's exalted standard, and to be fully entitled to the name American, one must square his living with those high principles of citizenship that imbued the fathers who founded this republic. These principles govern the men de serving the title. They reach into his business, and are a part of his social activities, his thoughts and acts. A true red- blooded American will not conduct his business in a dis honest manner. He will not stand off and criticize the gov- ernment without doing his part to correct real or imagi- nary faults. He must stand up- on the principles. that make Americans.
 It is the faithful observance of principles and not the fact that one lives under the Ameri- can flag that makes 8 real American.

Geo ge A. Parks, Alaskan, lecame governor of the Terri tory June 18th. His accession brings to an unlamented end the long period of carpet bag government inaugurated at the close of the administration of Governor J. F. Strong, the last real Alaskan to occupy the governors chair before MT. Parks.
 Although finding little faul; with most of the foreign in cumbents, Alaskans are uni versally glad that their regime IS ended and that one of their own people is once again in charge as chief executive. Fur thermore with one accord they are hoping that never agair will the governship be given tt any but men who are citizens of the Territory and call it their homeland.
 However able the men sent us by Washington and how ever much they may strive to further the interests of the Territory and the welfare of it's poo~la, their usefulness is usually limited by a most pro. found lack of understanding of the land and its people and handicapped by a more or less fantastic lot of notions about the Territory and what should be done to further its development. By the time they have discarded their precon- ceived views and have learned how to be really useful their term of office has expired and AlasEa has profited little or nothing by their coming. Ex- copting the late governor Bone who probably possessed far greater knowledge of the country than any previous gov- ernor of the imported brand, few of our foreign governors have had more than a medi- .ocre understanding of what Alaska is and what it needs, before coming to the Terri tory and taking upon themsel- yes the administration of it's complicated governmental &C., t.vities. By far the greater number have been little more than political figureheads who spent more time meddling in Alaska politics than in furth- ering constructive development of the territorial resources,
