The situa- tion is certainly not less baneful than it was whsnl C. T. Gardner and W. P. Scott were condemning it in unmeasured terms before the primary last April. i The circumstance that these candidates for the Leg- islature, who last April feared the power of Mr.| Paul with his bloc of 1,000 or more Indians that | vote at his dictation, now propose to vote for him has not altered the situation unless it is to mmeasci the menace by increasing the size of the bloc. The un-American cohdition and the threat progress is just as bad, if not worse, than it was| when H. R. Shepard and others led the flghh} against Mr. Paul eight years ago and as it has| been continuously since then. The fact, if it s a against | gaeond” and” Main |south have repented They are no longer in favor |f———————————=—————q|, fact, that a few persons who have opposed control tfacilities the Government persists in sending emis- | of Alaska by the Indian bloc and their allies in the | past are now supporting them has only aggra- vated the situation. | As the issues and candidates are aligned for | the election next month, there is only one cer- tain way to remove this menace, and that is to defeat the candidates of the unholy combination of which Mr. Paul is the head. And the only cer- tain way to defeat them is to.elect the Democratic | legislative ticket. It is fortunate under these circumstances that the Democratic Legislative ticket is made up of men in every way qualified to represent the people of the First Division in the Legislature. A strong- er or hetter balanced ticket than Allen Shattuck for Senator, Mayor Thomas B. Judson and Judge Frank A. Boyle of Juneau and A. H. Ziegler and E. L. Sampson of Ketchikan could not every well be selected in the Division. Every one of these men is of the highest character, is loyal to Alaska and her best interests, and of very fine ability. LET THEM COME. In another place appears intelligent comment by the Anchorage Times annent the Washington habit of special investigations of Alaska, and the suggestion that it is unnecessary because of the authentic reports that pour into Washington through regular chanels from competent and well-informed officials. While the position would seem to be well taken, as far as the verities are concerned, we do not see any cause for Alaska to complain. With very rare exceptions, if any, those investigators who | have come to Alaska, whether from the Legislative | or the Executive branches of the Government, have returned to the National capital as friends o' the Territory. Alaskans seem to have the faculty of| making friends. Investigators have come here, doubt- less, with minds prepared to find everything includ- ing local sentiment awry. They have gone back to Washington convinced that here is nothing too good for the people of the Territory. So let them continue to come. The more the investigations the more the friends of Alaska at the seat of authority. MAKING PROGRESS. That there were as many Alaska 1930 high school graduates to matriculate at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines as there were 1929 high school graduates to matriculate in all colleges speaks well for the progress of Alaska and her college. It is good to know that more young Alaskans are out for higher education. than heretofore and it is gratifying that a larger percentage of them are going to the Farthost North college for that purpose. The circumstance that the student population of the Alaska College is getting larger each year is the proof of the deserts of that instituation. That after all is the acid test that demonstrates that the people are getting their money's worth from this very worthy establishment SOUTHERN BIGOTS LOSE AGAIN. Senator Nye's investigating committee has ex- onerated the managars of the campaign against Senator Simmons of North Carolina, who was de- feated for renomination, of charges that they used an excessive amount of money and were guilty of | corrupt practices. That probably insures the elec- tion of his successful primary opponent, Josiah W. Bailey, and is regarded as a blow to the cam- | paign of Senator Heflin in his independent race for the Senate in Alagama. Senator Heflin had been| telling Alabamians that there was a slush fund _ in North Carolina, contributed by National Chauu man Raskob and his friends, in an effort to make ” think Northern wet Democrats were at- to control the South by the corrupting use “money. The fact is that the voters of the |must be a special investigation, just as there are |other special investigations equally unnecessary. |District Judges, United States Attorneys and United | f=—"""=— {States Marshals holding office in the Tomtory‘ especially those whose terms have expired and \Nhol are holding over until the Attorney General can | decide what to do about their reappointment, It| {is not enough that their records are on file |Washington, it is not enough that there is a Na-| |tional Committeeman and a Delegate capable of in- forming the Administration regarding the qualmc:h! |tions of those who aspire to fill posts within the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. There These special investigations are not new to Al- aska. They have been going on for a long time, requiring in the aggregate, a very considerable out- lay, a great deal more than has been justified thus far by the results obtained. Investigators come and go, year after year, but conditions in the Territory have not been improved by their coming. Westward Stock Raising. i (Seward Gateway.) There is one outstanding fact that has been learned by the stockmen of the Westward espec- ially during the last winter and summer. This is the indisputable truth that if stock are| properly cared for during the more severe psrl! of the winter, particularly sheep, they will take| on fat so rapidly on the rich grasses of the spring that they seem to be transformed by magic. There seems to be a splendid chance for the stock-raising industry out there with prospect of immediate increase in herds where cxperience has been satisfactory. This will be of financial con- cern to Seward at no distant date. How Women Vote in Germany. (Manchester Guardian.) Before women won the vote there was a cur- rent theory that their enfranchisement would, in some obscure way, transform party politics. But in Germany, where in many towns the men and women vote on different-colored cards, there is actually a statistical test of the direction in which the sexes vote. The figures we give today are taken from Cologne and Wiesbaden, but where the statistics from other towns are available they give sub- stantially similar results. There is only one ten- dency which markedly differentiates the women | \from the men voters. The parties which are def- initely religious in basis are supported predomin- antly by women voters. The common view that women tend to vote for the moderate parties and avoid the extremes has not very much to support it. In general the parties have been fairly equally supported by both sexes Believe it or not, but in one South American |republic, namely, Ecuador, the President has been trying to resign and the people have refused to tlfl him go.—(New York Times.)
