ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO SE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION TRYING TO FOOL THE VOTERS. Of course cunning politicians who would stem a seeming rising tide of Democracy that is appar- ently slipping from the States into Alaska would try to mislead the voters about the harmonious and enthusiastic Democratic convention at Peters-; An attempt is being made to convey the burg. impression that a rift was started at that conven- tion that may develop into party friction. None of | the delegates at the convention saw any evidence | of a rift ! From one source eminates the intimation that | the Juneau Democrats sought to have the coming convention at Fairbanks nominate a full Terri- torial ticket. That is not true, of course, but dis- turbers and troublemakers are frequently careless | gbout the truth. The fact is that Dr. Walker of Ketchikan introduced a resolution instructing the! First Division delegates absolutely to take no part' in the nomination of a ticket at the Territorial convention. The point was made that such a reso- lution would be tantamount to instructing the Southeast delegates to refuse to take part in the convention if they were outvoted on the question | of nominating or endorsing candidates. J. P. Ander- | son, delegate from Salmon Creek, offered a sub- stitute, which instructed the First Division delegates to use their influence and votes against any proposal to nominate or endorse candidates. This would permit them to continue to participate if voted down at Fairbanks. Some of those who took part | in the debate that followed did not catch the dis- tinction between the two propositions. The Ander- son substitute was carried by a vote of 55 to 44. Dr. Walker and the supporters of his resolution | afterward expressed themselves as entirely satisfied | with the Anderson substitute. There was no rift | there. Another mislzading report is the charge that the Democratic halibut plank favored the Seattle | Halibut Vessel Owners rather than the local halibut fishermen. The opposite is the case. The Demo- | cratic platform plank was drafted at the sug- gestion of Petersburg halibut fishermen who rep- | resented that practically all of the Alaska fishermen | at Petersburg, Ketchikan, Juneau, Wrangell and else- where favored the present closed season and closing completely the so-called “nursery grounds.” The Seattle boat owners were represented as being op- posed to both propositions. Another charge is that the Democratic platform was stolen from the personal platform of William L. Paul. The Democratic platform in practically all essential points is the same as that adopted at the Democratic convention at Ketchikan four | years ago. Twice since that platform was adopted Mr. Paul has opposed it and at both elections he was defeated for Representative by Democratic nominees. CASEY MORAN HAS NEW PAPER. Casey Moran (further identification not neces- sary) has established another newspaper—his sev- enteenth in forty years, he says. His latest venture, No. 1 of Vol. 1 of which is before us, is the Vene- zuela News. It is published at Caracas, chief city and capital of the Republic of Venezuela. His Jast previous paper was locat:d at Maricaibo, the oil town, and was labelled ‘“Maricaibo Tropical Sun.” The editorial column of the Venezuela News car- ries the legend: “Casey Moran, Editor-Publisher.” Also the declaration: A Weekly Paper Devoted to Informing Its Readers on What Is Worth Reading. In his editorial announcement, Casey said: While the rest of the world is scrambling about to grab any stray straw that will keep it going we have much pleasure in launching The Venczuela News knowing that with the near revival of good times we will be in on the ground floor. It would be false to say that Venezuela has not felt a share of the world depression but we do know that in no country in the world today has it been felt less. This re- public is going ahead, it is continuing its great program of public works, capital is {hitherto going to other points because of the lack |happiness of those far out on the fringe of civili- | zation. {a boat touches at these outlying points. of Venezuela but of all the lower part of the Caribbzan. Its circulation will reach every part of Venezuela and the world. | Literally thousands of friends of Casey Moran |will second the hope of The Empire that the | Venezuzla News may flourish and gratify the am- bitions of its publisher, the former Alaskan who bears in a very large measure the good will of all askans. i T Y In the words of the late lamented Grover Cleve- land the President has Congress on his hands If those Republican leaders continue to swing jover 1> the wet side of the Prohibition issue what are they going to do about Mr. Hoover? Depend {upon the hope that he will look with favor upon expediency and permit them to convert him? A well known Seattls man who has been visit- in Juneau on business expressed doubt about wets being able to win a referendum election ing the cn Prohibition. He declared that the dry blocs arz very strong and numerous. They include those members of the churches that professional leaders can control, the bootleggers, the numcrous gang- rs in all the ganglands and others who are finding Prohibition profitable. Justice Brandeis. (New York World-Telegram.) T.fteen years ago the man whos2 birthday, this | week, has brought him rare tributes of love and admiration was waiting for Senate approval of msl nomination for the Supreme Court. Louis Dembitz Brandeis was criticised as radical, as too intense a partisan, as lacking in judicial | temperament. Tday he is acclaimed as one of the greatest justices the Supreme Court has known. | Fifteen years ago President Woodrow Wilson, who sent his name to the Senate for confirmation, |said of Brandeis: I cannot speak too highly of his im- partial, impersonal, orderly and constructive mind, his rare analytical powers, his deep human sympathy, his profound acquaintance with the historical roots of our institutions, and insight into their spirit, or of the many evidences he has given of being imbued to the very heart with our American ideals | of justice and equality of opportunity . or of his genius in getting persons to unite in common and harmonious action and look with frank and kindly eyes into each other’'s minds, who had before been heated antagonists. This friend of justice and of men will ornament the High Court of which we are so justly proud. A tribute has seldom been so overwhelmingly justified. And in recent years when there has been less “just pride” of the country in the High Court, the presence there and the work of Louis Brandeis has strengthened and restored men’s faith in it. Justice Brandeis said once, “Instead of amend- ing the Constitution, I would amend men’'s econ- omic and social ideals,” and that is what he is slowly accomplishing. Value of An Air Base. (Seward Gateway.) The outlook is bright for the early establishment of an air base in Seward. This will bring the city into close touch with many points hitherto reached by the slow process of water transporta- | tion or isolated for many months by ice and weather conditions. In addition to supplying this liason the service will divert to Seward a large volume of business of contact such as a local air base will supply. The most prolific commercial field lies to the Westward with its many canneries, fur trading posts and governmental activities demanding rapid com- munication, much of which has been diverted to the Interior, entailing high expense. Through the airplane, the Westward will be able to receive fresh eggs, vegetables and fruits which have a tremendous influence upon the health and By the same process medical relief will be available within a few hours instead of the weeks and sometimes months that must intervene before With a splendid hospital capable of caring for any demand made upon it, this latter feature of the service will come as a Godsend in addition to its import- ance as a commercial asset to the city. An Italian Mother. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Naturally a great deal of warranted publicity |has fallen to the lot of Signor Dino Grandi, the brilliant representative of Italy’s Fascist chief, who has been with us in conference with President Hoover. But only in reflection has the bright light of popular attention been directed upon Signora Grandl, his wife. And yet this Italian mother has touched the heart of America quite as closely—perhaps more— than has her distinguished husband, and in simple, wholesome expression. The modern Roman matron, of the line of Cor- nelia in one respect, at least, is true to her universal heritage. No sooner had she the opportunity than she made use of the transatlantic telephone to talk to her kiddies in far-away Italy. And when she had listened to their childish treble, with visible emotion, she declared: “I cannot do this again; their voices touch me too deeply.” States may rise and fall, the destinies of na- tions hang in the balance, the affairs of the world invoke and involve the world's leaders in supreme functioning, but motherhood and its divine emo- tions will outweigh and outlive mutation and time. Signor Grandi may have attained to heights of greatness and distinction, but Signora Grandi is doing the greater work in furnishing to Italy its possible future leaders in their country’s large affairs. Mr. Hoover and Signor Grandi have let it be known that the Italian Foreign Minister's mission to this country was completed in the course of a 2%-hour talk at the White House. That is grat- approaching, development is nearing and we feel that Venezuela will be the leader in the great stride to again put the world on a smooth running basis. It is our seventeenth newspaper venture in the last 40 years. We have always been in “boom” places from the Arctic to the Tropics and have made no mistakes in knowing what is near at hand. The Venezuela News is not as presented today just what we wanted it to be. Of s:ven- teen sources of planned news production we have had only one small one to get in on time. The manana spirit has caught not only our countrymen but others of the foreign w The Venezuela News will grow bigger and better with each issue.

There will be no coalition be- tween the parties at any time. But on the vital economic program there will be perhaps no disposi- tion for party politics. With Congress more closely di- vided between the parties than at any time in recent history, no legislation can get on the statute books except of a compromise or i-partisan nature. Little Business Before Christmas It is hoped, however, to have the moratorium ratified before Decem- ber 15—the date when the next payments on war debts are due, but little business is expected be- fore Christmas. The session is expected to con- tinue until June, when the two national party nominating conven- tions will be held. —_———— GOOD BARBER WORK cral relief for unemployment a real z out of , | N ) UNITED FOOD CO. “Cash Is King” THE JUNEAU LAUNDRY Franklin Street, between Front and Second Streets PHONE 359 When you are down town and - have no special place to go for your barber work, try the Alaskan Hotel Barber Shop.
