ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK. National Thrift Week began Sunday, the anni- versary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, called the “first civilized American.” It was not by reason of his cosmopolitan culture that Thrift Week opens on his natal anniversary, however, but because he was the first American to attempt to preach as| well as practice the virtue of putting part of one’s carnings aside for a rainy day. Thrift is a word borrowed by the English lan- guage from the Scandinavian. It means more than hoarding money. A miser hoards his wealth but does not thereby earn or qualify for the reputation of being thrifty. Thrift, says a standard dictionary is “care and prudence in the management of one's resources.” To be thrifty, in the words of the En- cyclopedia Britannica, is-to be prosperous. A safe investment thrift than a savings deposit account. Never was there a time in the history of the United States when good investments were so cheaply to be had And investments are not necessarily confined to stocks and bonds. They can be made to advantage today in all of the necessaries of life; in food, cloth- ing, real estate, homes, furniture for homes, in the thousand and one things, including labor, that go to make life livable. Economists say that one of the most serious problems facing us today is to induce people with money to spend it for things they actually need. There has been, since the crash of 1929, too wide- spread a tendency to hoard money as if it were| something of value in itself. It is, of course, the part of wisdom to' save money. But like every other practice it can be overdone. To spend wisely and in time is as wise as to save when frugality is the greater need. The need today is not to pile up idle bank accounts. It is for spending judiciously. Every dollar so expended under current market conditions will bring returns far greater than can be achieved after the effects of depression begin to evaporate. That is a lesson that ought to be heavily emphasized in this year's National Thrift Week. RESTRICTIVE POLICIES INEVITABLY LEAD TO WARS. Discussing the Manchurian situation, the Cincin- nati Enquirer says: The days of conquest, of ‘wars, are not ended. They will never end so long as National selfishness, aspiration and apparent pecessity continue to endure. That is probably correct. And so long as high tariffs, restricted immigration and other restrictions to intercourse among nations continue to mount higher and become tighter, apparent necessary to get through national boundaries with military force will be present. Commerce cannot be shut out of green pastures with anything less effective than bayonets. As long as the national restrictive policies continue we cannot look for peace on earth. Trade restrictive policies inevitably lead to wars. If America is to maintain the fiscal policies that have obtained since the war, she had better forget disaramament' and be prepared to defend and ad- vance her trade, for other countries have set out to follow our narrow lead. A lot depends upon the proposed international tariff conference. STRAWBERRIES, FROZEN 15 MONTHS, MAINTAIN QUALITY. Pacific Coast strawberries, packed and frozen for more than a year in a laboratory experiment, have maintained excellent quality and from 90 to 99 per cent of the organisms in them that cause spoilage have been killed, the United States Department of Agriculture reports. Effective killing of these organ- isms is on: of the chief problems in the frozen- pack method. Microbiological studies on frozen pack fruits and vegetables were started last year in the recently established frozen-pack laboratory of the Bureau of Plant Industry in Seaitle, Wash. The work has been under the direction of James A. Berry, and preliminary results are now available. Sound fruit, suitably packed and promptly frozen, was excellent in quality after being frozen for 12 months, the report shows. Inferior or overripe fruit, however, had a poor appearance when thawed and was not in marketable condition In the strawberry studics, microbiological analyses were made of 100 samples of Pacific Northwest strawberries, chiefly of the Marshall variety. The samples were packed in the 1930 season in paper containers and in No. 2 tin cans, without and with vacuum, and in sirups of different strengths. Fif- teen months after the fruit had been stored at 15 degrees F. the fruit was thawed and again analyzed microbiologically. This analysis showed that 90 to 99 per cent of the organisms had been killed. . Berries -having 10,000 organisms per gram at the . time of packing gave counts of 1,000 or less. The _ chief surviving organisms are ?:cies of Penicillium | is more of an. evidence of and spore-forming bacteria, In particular, the cold killed most of th: yeasts, so that cans defrosted and kept in the laboratory two weeks failed to develop pressure. Other things begin equal, sealed lcans showed a somewhat higher “kill” than paper containers, which ar2 not airtight. CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. Senator Nye's bill limiting campaign expenses for candidates for President, Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress is not niggardly with cam- paign solicitors. It allows $250,000 for a pre-con- vention Presidential candidate’s costs; $5,000,000 for a Presidential election campaign; $50,000 for the nomination and election of a Senator, and $10,000 for the nomination and election of a Representative in Congrzss. However, as liberal as these allowances are, if the measure should become a law, Penn- sylvania would probahly have to go without Sen- ators. Inasmuch as Senator Walsh of Montana is now ‘neax'ly seventy-three years of age it is probable the {President, if he follows the advice of Senator Moses and Senator Watson, will appoint Senator Bratton {of New Mexico to the Supreme Court. While only | forty-three, Senator Bratton has been a successful lawyer, a District Court Judge, a Justice of the Supreme Court of Mexico and twice elected Senator |from that State. The candidacies of two men for the Presidency have been formally launched. The hats of Presi- dent Hoover and Gov. Ritchie are in the ring, and Gov. Roosevelt's will be there soon. Beating Up a Clerk. (New York World-Telegram.) | Federal dry agents fresh from their annual Christ- mas ballyhoo stunts of breaking up furniture in night club raids try their fists on a cordial shop clerk. Barney Greenberg, of Brooklyn, is the clerk |who has made allegations of being beaten by Dry Agents Frank Farley and Stanley ‘Nelson when Greenberg told them he did not sell wine. Farley says the clerk became violent. Wine was later found in the shop. Not cause enough to man- {handle the clerk so roughly that he had to be treated for scalp lacerations, a broken thumb and bruises. Dry law enforcement is one thing, beating up a clerk is another. | What is Prohibition Administrator Andrew Mc- {Campbell going to do with his agents? What is Federal Attorney Ameli, of Brooklyn, going to do? |Are these officers of the Federal law going to see that Greenberg gets justice? In view of past performances of Federal officers protecting dry agents in sympathetic Federal courts, |we presume the answer is obvious—a big No! All the more need for a public defender! All {the more need for a thorough investigation of Fed- |eral Prohibition enforcement in New York. Japan “Off Gold.” (Manchester Guardian.) [ Tt is less surprising that Japan has gone “off Igold" than that she has remained on it so long. |Her financial difficulties have been actue for several months. She has watched closely the effects of| Isterling depreciation on the Lancashire cotton trade, and much has been heard in the Japanese papers lof the advantage that has been given to Lancashire goods in @il the markéts in which Japan and Lan- ashire me®t in keen competition. Actually Lancashire {has probably gained less by the cheaper pound than |was generally expected, but with the cheaper yen 1m:amy hopes will dwindle or' disappear. The recent \recovery in Lancashire’s trade with China is in the main attributable less to the lower value of the {pound than to the anti-Japanese boycott, the in- tensity of which ‘will now in all probability diminish Japan, like Lancashire, will have to pay more for her American cotton, but what matters most to the Lancashire industry is that the margin between production costs in the two industries, which sterling depreciation had almost equailzed, may now be again strongly in Japan's favor. Democracy’s Slogan. (Seattle Times.) Out of 100,000 slogans submitted, the Democrats have chosen, “Hee! Haw! We're coming back,” as their battle cry in the campaign of 1932. The committee which made the selection consisted of Senator Copeland of New York, Senator Shepherd of Texas, and our own Senator Dill. The author received an honorarium for $100. Since the pithy declaration may have beauties invisible to the casual observer it would be premature to say that {he was overpaid. The “Hee! Haw!” part of the slogan, of course, is the derisive challenge of the donkey, symbol of |the Democratic Party. It is the equivalent of what is known in the vernacular of the street as the “horse laugh,” and is intended to direct Republican minds to their impressive difficulties. The re- mainder of the expression implies triumphal return of one who has been in exile for a considerable time. Considered in all its bearings, the slogan appears to lack that elegance and that intellectual quality’ which we ordinarily like to encounter in campaign mottoes. The Return to Reason. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) There is heartening encouragement in the declara- tion of Under-Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. {Mills, who just has declared, “There will be no trip to Europe this winter,” meaning that the efforts of European nations to inveigle the United States into taking part in the forthcoming reparations conference are futile—not to be considered. Reparations are pumfiive in their nature. This Government rightly has nothing to do with them or their settlement. That is purely Europe’s busi- ness. And Europe has now been told so by the President’s personal adviser in all matters apper- |taining to international finance. The statement made by Secretary Mills would seem to indicate that the Administration now is inclined to attend to pressing and imperative mat- ters at home, a fact for which the American people |will be truly grateful. As the days go by it is probable that America and America’s interests will increasingly command first and superior attention at the hands of the Paesident and Congress. Heaven knows that our own troubles are weighty enough and distressing enough to demand the very best that the ability and patriotism of American statesmanship has to offer. We view the holly with a feeling not wholly unmixed with envy. It has a few berries left, any- way.—(Boston Herald.) Father Time evidently thinks there's no bad luck in starting a new year on Friday.—(Indianapolis News.) The greatest All-America “end” this year would be “end” of depression.—(Dayton, Ohio, .!om-nal) POLITIGS , AT RANDOM By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) Maine Democrats are so stirred Beauty on Skis up over 1932 prospects that there may be real competition, for the first time in years, for the party nomination for Governor. .. With local taxation an issue in many states, Mr. and Mrs. Ordinary Voter may be expected to take greater pains than usual this time in sorting over the candidates for the legislature. . . . ‘The western silver countryt is preparing to petition both parties insistently for silver relief planks in the national platforms. .. One Democratic Senator who recently talked with Al Smith came away fully convinced the brown lerby again is in the ring. . . Kentucky politicians seem: to have had no success thus far in)| puzzling out why there was such an extraordinary scarcity of ne- groes (nearly all Republicans) at the polling places on November election dav. That ‘Alabama 24" So that all Democratic factions may be represented, that famous “Alabama 24" 50 ' persistently given to Oscar Underwood during the Madison Square garden mglec —will become this year 48-hal votes for somebody... Gov. fmx- liam H. Adams, patriarch of the Colorado Democracy, is expected to announce late this month whether he will run again or open the way for a grand scramble by stepping aside. . . Perry Howard'> black-and-white Republicans are arguing again with their all-white rivals in Mississippi, probably forecasting contesting delegations at the National Con- vention. . . The Democratic friends of Melvin A. Traylor are actively organizing to make him a sort of triple-threat favorite son candidate for President ,backed by Kentucky, where he was born; Texwas, where he was a banker and lawyer; and Illinois, where he now , lives as president of the First National Bank of Chicago. The Young Repubhcan club in the national capital has 'blossomed out with its own magazine and a private training school for young spell-binders, Johnson To Speak It is reported, and widely be- lieved in Washington, that Hiram Johnson will say “yes” or “no” to the Presidential bee before 1932 <is much older. Dry Democrats still are trying to get together behind a single out- and-out Prohibitionist for Presi- dent, but they report little progress. With Democratic presidential pos- sibilities so plentiful in Ohio, there is talk of adopting James M. Cox, of Dayton and Miami as ‘the fav- orite son of Florida. . . Feels As Lincoln Did After defeat of his legislative program in an Oklahoma referen- dum, Gov. W. H. Murray was quoted by the newspaper, Labor, as having said: “I presume I feel very much as Lincoln did when the whole strength of the slave power defeated him for United States Senator just two years before he was elected President.” . . . Maybe it's accident and maybe it'’s something in the soil of Mary- land, My Maryland, but Albert C. Ritchie and Dr. Joseph I. France both Marylanders, are the only Presidential candidates thus far who are frankly and openly candi- dating. el PATRIARCHS ATTENTION Regular meeting of Aurora En- campment No. 1-A, I. O. O.
