GOOD DOCTRINE

Governor Bone, in his report for 1922 said:
 Alaska, in the true spirit o1 Americanism, seeks self-govern-
 ment and should be prepared for it at no distant date. Its ambi- tion is high; it's aspirations
 worthy. Its citizenship would give strength to the Union. It is
 great state or two great states slowly in the making" Governor Riggs, in his report for 1920, said:
 Laws should govern instead of revocable regulations, but where there must be regulations such regulations should be pro- mulgated by authority located within the Territory and not 4,00O miles away. In the inter
 est of good citizenship, to pro-
 mote self-reliance, and tt strengthen the desire for public welfare, the greatest possible need of self-government should be allowed to the residents o1 the Territory"

 The matter is being investigat- ed by the Interior Department i The City Council at Fairbanks has wired request that the General Land Office issue a modified deed to their park grounds, so that they might be held in trust for park and re- creational purposes and for pub lie utilities, including the estab- lishment and maintenance there on of airport buildings and air navigation facilities. The Pa cif1c International Airways, who have the mail contract for the lower river, Nome and Kusko- kWim points, say that they will establish headquarters there if they are assured title to leased space, and that they are anxious to immediately commence con- struction Of necessary hangers. The Commissioner of Land Off, flee has issued an order stating that the Department will inter- pose no objection to the estab- lishment of an airport on part of the land, and that the patent previously issued will not be dis turbed, as there is no need for the issuing of additional deed.

The HERALD is of the Opinl- on it is none too early to in- form it's readers that next win ter is going to be a tough one. Last winter was prosperity con- pared to what we can look for in the winter ahead of us. Any one that has a chance to work for good wages this summer and does not have enough at the end of the year to see him comfort ably through the winter de- serves to stand in the bread line and beg for turnips, and prob ably he will. The ones who will deserve help are the ones who have no chance at a job. Of the Moonshiners and Bootleg gers must live, but so must the Farmers and Cotton Growers and we strongly advise anyone spending more than half of his wages for boose.

THE EDITORS FRIENDS

Sometimes. the. thing. tha1
 makes it hard for a. person. {,
 run a newspaper is his friends
 When a friend thinks something
 ought to be kept out of the pa per he doesn't hesitate to asl
 it as a personal favor, An en-
 emy doesn't ask any favors. But a friend thinks the conduct ol a newspaper is the persona, matter of the editor, when as g matter of fact he is largely ill the position of a man serving g
 public trust.
 A philosophical old fellow once said to the writer, "A newspaper
 that doesn't make you mad once in a while isn't worth the sub- scription price" To make people mad isn't the chief province of a newspaper but if it's going to be one worthy the name, it must print the news without fear or favor. This pa per has been thpeatened With and indeed has suffered business reprisals, not once but frequent |ly. These things must necessar- ily be borne in silence. The great reading public which a newspaper serves is not interest ed in the personal difficulties of the editor or publisher, though we have known instances where
 g full airing of threats and sub-
 subsequent reprisals would have
 made absorbing reading.
 But such things must be re-
 garded as part of the game-to
 be suffered because ofsins com mitted in other directions. And then, too, it must be remember ed that all things, both human and divine, are subject to criti- cism. Even the Bible does not oscape.-Harlan (Iowa) Repub- lican.
