THE NEW WAYS ARE HERE
Some of our idealists have visions of disarmament being
accomplished without any delay ,!and expect to see all na
tions, all creeds, living in brotherly friendship with one an
other—no more war or rumors of war. They will be sadly
disillusioned, because in this practical world we cannot live
on visions.
Not only have armaments not been reduced, but large
ly increased. Instead of brotherly love, we see jealousies
and bickering between many nations.
Once upon a time in the old days we read so much about
many conferences which were held. Jn fact, they became
quite fashionable and difficulties were often settled by our
ambassadors without the people generally knowing that any
troubles were likely to arise. But the old ways are gone
and the new Ways are here !
AN ALASKAN PROBLEM
Alaska is facing a real problem in respect to the care ol
its native population, particularly Indians. Reports in pap
ers throughout the territory indicate the fact the problem
is not confined to any one locality.
Anchorage affords a good example of the condition, and
the Anchorage city council is taking timely steps in seeking
a solution* in its appeal to the federal government.
The problem lies in the fact that many natives are with
out means and facing a long hard winter with little prospect
of earning any revenue from their old vocations of trapping
and hunting. Many already have sought local relief, and
having'been attracted to the city are appealing to the local
council and organizations for relief. Many of them have
become victims of excessive drink. Not possessed of the
same mentality as their white brothers and beipg victimized
by many unscrupulous persons they have fallen ready prey,
spending quickly all their earnings of the open season, being
debauched and reduced in health and generally impoverish
ed and now without food or fit shelter for the* long trying
winter. An emergency exists.
The municipality, the territory and local organizations
cannot be expected to care for these hapless natives. They
have been since the occupation of the land, by the whites,
the wards of the federal government and their case right
fully comes within the purview of the Indian Department or
some other branch of the federal government.
That it should be attended to immediately is beyond

question. The Anchorage city council committee is of the
belief the natives should be required to go to reservations,
outside the city’s peculiar temptations, especially when they
are not self sustaining, and there properly cared for during
their disability. The idea seems sound, and whether sub
ject to variation or not, the federal government should in
the name of humanity and all that is decent, sift the matter
to the bottom at once and act speedily.
The case is one that merits not only consideration to
meet the emergency but also as to permanent care and pro
tection. The territorial legislature may not be expected
to provide any territorial relief in the matter but it could
help a lot by memorializing Washington and supporting the
municipalities and others in their appeal.—Anchorage Times
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite
E. Pi Chase, editor and publisher of the Atlantic, Iowa.
News-Telegraph, says:
“The American people read the newspaper ads. They
read the magazine ads. They read the billboards and they
listen to the advertising talks over the radio. They are ad
vertising conscious. The slogans of well known advertisers
have crept into our language, so thoroughly is the influence
of advertising established. Advertising is no longer some
thing to ‘help out’ the paper. The time since it was a ‘catch
penny’ is so far in the past as to be no longer remembered.
“Good readable, honest advertising, which tells its story
in simple language is worth anybody’s time to read. Many
a thrifty buyer saves a lot of money during the year by watch
ing the advertisements closely.
“The newspaper function of carrying advertising has
become as important to the people as its other function of
printing the news, for, in fact, advertising IS news, store
news, news of importance to those with money to spend.
There never was a time in the history of the United States
when the reading of the advertisements was as important
as it is today, for in many homes a few dollars have to go a
long ways. The advertisements help stretch the budget.”
