It is timer to analyze this patriotism; not to revere our government’s, perfection, but to attempt cooperat­ as to be carried aloft' had been ively to perfect it to some degree of veneration. Washing­ eighed, inflation of the sounding ton’s prindpiescontinue to ring true even in this era. To his fundamental ideas of modesty, thoughtfulness, and gener­ osity we must revert; and wriggle from the grasp of this self-contentment and praglnaticvanity. It is easier now to admit our mistakes as we are forced to combat, them in such critical days though even iyet . it ii rather upsetting to our remaining dignity. As a Hundred and sixty years ago, We again seek inde­ pendence/not the. kind from which will detonate hilarious flag-waging and reverent idealism, but that from which will evolve;.;, solemn reflection and repentant thoughtfulness- - that which will cause'us to awaken from our hallucinations and return to the fundamental truths which, like industrial: ism we have tried to synthesize, that we may again join hands simply with out neighbor, though not through legal contracts. Not yet have we won our independen.ee, nor will we until we can make of our nation a 'corporate body of fellowship.

AMERICA’S SECOND LARGEST AND MOST OUTSTAND­ ING NATIONAL PLAYGROUND

A TRIP TO ALASKA, the “LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN,” with its .varied UNSURPASSED SCENIC ATTRAC­ TIONS, will satisfy the most ardent outdoor enthusiast, whe­ ther tourist or vacationist. Modem all-steel equipped passen­ ger trains with parlor and observation cars await the pleasure of travelers over THE ALASKA RAILROAD. The passenger rates which were increased two years ago have now been re­ duced on The Alaska Railroad to six cents per mile. Therefore, the passenger fare from Seward to Fairbanks is $28.20.

FOR THE SPORTSMAN, it can be said that if THE AL­ ASKA RAILROAD had been built for the one and express purpose of making the Big Game accessible, it COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE FORTUNATELY LOCATED, as it cuts squarely THROUGH THE CHOICEST BIG GAME FIELDS OF CENTRAL ALASKA.
