ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NO BAD BEARS. Because of “bear stories” emanating from the White House, featuring grandchildren of President Hoover, the wrath of Big Bear Protector John M. Holzworth has been aroused and he is demanding correction from the President for his libelled pro- teges. Says Time, the “newsmagazine” in its issue of January 11: Like many another child, Peggy Ann Hoover, the President’s granddaughter, has been frightened by big bad bear stories. White House attendants, to keep her out of mischief, told her that a fierce black one lived in the basement of the Executive Offices. Peggy Ann became curious about bears, so fortnight ago, President Hoover took her and her little brother Herbert IIT (“Peter”) to see some live ones at Wash- ington's zoo. Most persons read the result- ant news with pleasant amusement. But in Chairman John M. Holzworth of the Na- tional Committee on Protection and Preser- vation of Wild Life they provoked nothing but indignation. Last week President Hoover received a telegram from him: “Following publication of . . . the big bear story telegrams and telephone calls have come to our offices from nature lovers protesting against an attitude toward wild life which leads to destruction rather than to protection and preservation of our fast-disappearing North American big bears . .. harmless and unless attacked . . . It is highly important that public, opinion be not misled regarding their true’ nature. Any statement that can be made to correct im- pression . . . that bears are dangerous will be appreciated.” Snapped Bear Lover Holzworth: “There's no such thing as a bad bear.” “Bear Lover Holzworth” is just now engaged in a strenuous effort to have a large part of Alaska's timber resources tied up from development as a sanctuary for brown and grizzly bears. His zeal for protection is noted more for enthusiasm than for commonsense, the lack of which is so pointedly apparent in the telegram to President Hoover that Time quotes. As an authority on bear, his ranking grows less every time he gives voice to an utterance on the subject. His ignorance was never more clearly shown than in his absurd claim that. there is “no such thing as a bad bear” Everyone with any degree of experience in the ways of animals, wild and domestic, has come into contact with outlaws in every species. There are bad dogs, bad bulls, bad horses, and there are plenty of bad bears. Just_what makes one bear harmless and another bad has not been scientifically determined. But we wouldn't be surprised if the bears that have turned vicious had been reading too much of the sort of twaddle that is being spread abroad by Mr. Holz- worth. PRECEDENTS FAVOR DEMOCRATS. Only twice in their history, the dominant political parties have held their national conventions in the same city, that is in the same year. The first time was in 1852, when they gathered in Maryland Insti- tute in Baltimore. The Democrats met first, June 1, and nominated Franklin Pierce. met in the same place on June 15, and nominated Winfield Scott. In the succeeding election Pierce was elected. In 1884 the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in Chicago, the scene of their gather- ings this year. Grover Cleveland was made the Democratic standard bearer and the Republicans nominated James G. Blaine. Cleveland was elected. Thus, if precedent can serve as a guide, the fact that the two parties meet in the same city this year ought to be a good augury for Democratic victory. Moreover, there are other and probably more legitimate signs that 1932 will be a Demo- cratic year. The Congressional elections last Novems ber and the State and municipal balloting at the same time; the special Congressional elections held since November in which Republican upsets were the order of the day; widespread sentiment of dis- satisfaction with existing conditions and the tendency to blame the Hoover Administration, often without basis in fact; demands for change in the Prohibition jaws which seem more likely to be met through the Democratic Party; these and other things point to Democratic ascendency next November. .

The “Lame Duck” Resolution. (New York Herald Tribune.) The Senate always adopts the Norris resolution the “lame duck” session of Congress. It did so for | the seventh time on Wednesday, and since the ma- Jority sentiment of the House is believed to be fa- vorable to the change the State Legislatures may soon have an opportunity to pass upon the long- delayed reform of the Federal calendar. On the essentials of the measure there is no oc- casion for dispute. It reduces the thirteen months’ {interval between the election of a new Congress and its convening in regular session by providing that each new Congress shall take office on January 2 following its election and that Congress shall meet annually on that date. The terms of the President and Vice-President are to begin on January 5, in- stead of March 4. The arguments for eliminating the hold-over body have long since been recognized as valid. The short !semon of a ‘lame duck” Congress does not reflect the current opinion of the country; it is likely to be given over to obstruction merely, or the measures passed may quite misrepresent the prevailing views of the electorate. A relic of stage-coach days, the long putting off of the new terms has no virtue !of convenience, but it is a detriment to truly rep- resentative government. Voters everywhere will profit by an amendment giving early effect to their de- cisions. - The Norris resolution places no time limit on any session. Senator Bingham urged without success an amendment to conclude the meeting of Congress on June 4 in each even-numbered year. As the measure stands, Congress might sit perpetually. The House last year, at Speaker Longworth’s in- {stance, stood out for the short session every other | year. The conference was deadlocked on that point, so that the resolution failed. Mr. Longworth’s in- sistence on the time limit had wide approval as a resteiction Jnsuring a rest from Congress at stated intervals. .t would seem better for the Senate to accept the short-session plan if necessary than to let its favorite and highly meritorious resolution languish for another term. Waiting for a Sign. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) There has been no commoner phrase among business men and consumers in the last few months than the following dreary observation: “I'm just waiting to see if things take a turn for better after the holidays.” If this attitude prevails we shall be a long time coming into our rightful heritage of better business in 1932. Waiting is not the American way meet a challenge. Especially waiting for no good reason. Too many individuals are convinced that by an occult and mysterious magic a sudden spurt in the economic machine will occur some morning, herald- ing the return of prosperity. , They are waiting for a sign from Heaven. But Heaven does not work that way. Its miracles are more subtle. ‘What they really are waiting for is John Doe. We have it in our power to restore in some measure the volume of business. Wealthy or poor, busy or idle; we each can contribute to recovery. Problems of currency expansion and export trade and war debts enter into the picture, to be sure, and they will not be wafted away by mere optimism. But much can be done meanwhile through the willing effort of individuals. John Doe is your next-door neighbor. He's wait- ing on you, so there’s no use for you to wait on him. There will be no improvement “after the holidays” as long as walting is accepted as the great American pastime. Don't wait on John Bananas. (Daily Olympian.) ‘The long awaited reports on comparative living costs for American and European workmen, com- piled by the International Labor Office at the re- quest of Henry Ford, who wanted to know how much he should pay his European employees {o put them on a par with his workers in Detroit, has at last been made public. It is a highly interesting for a constitutional amendment to do away with/ P-T.A.

The result can be achieved if owners of radio sets will unite to bring about the de- sired imprvoement, was the opinion expressed at last night's meeting of the club in the Council Cham- ber of the City_Hall. To Campaign For Members The club’s membership now rep- |resents the ownmership of only 100 radio receiving sets. Tt plans to in- augurate a campaign to bring into the organization the greater num- ber of the owners of the emaining |400 sets that are known to be in use in the city. To combat intereference the club has divided the city into nine | zones, with two observers in every | zone. These observers will log all | instances of interference in their respective districts, and will confer with one another. In this way in- formation will be obtained, dis- | tinguishing general from mneighbor- hood cases of objectionable noises. Maki Does Good Work George Maki, proprietor of the Juneau Radio Service Company re- ported on work he had done to- ward the elimination of interfer- ence. His efforts have effected great improvement. Harry W. Irvine, of the United States Signal Corps, made a brief talk. He pledged the cooperation of the Signal Corps in bringing about a better condition of radio reception. Representatives of the Juneau Short Wave Club were present. Their organization will work in ha ny with the Juneau Radio The next meeting of the Radio Club will be held February 25. — et IN THE BAG, SAYS DIZZY| ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.—“Well, it sure looks like another world cham- | pionship for the Cardinals.” That was Jerome “Dizzy” Dean’s prediction here folowing the an- nouncement that fthe boastful rookie had signed a 1932 contract with the Red Birds. Dean said he expects to win 20 games for the Cardinals and does- n't expect any National League or- ganization to trouble him. “The Cubs will be easy and I'm positive the Giants won’t beat me,” Dean declared. Hart Schaffner and Marx Clothes H. S. Graves GEO. M. SIMPKINS COMPANY The Clothing Man document. Living costs in Detroit are shown to be sub- stantnally higher than those abroad. Those of the Paris factory hand, for instance, are only about 80 per cent of those of the Detroiter; in Man- | chester, the figure is about 75 per cent; in Berlin, slightly below 90 per cent. Part of America's high | wages are eaten up by higher living costs. | But not all. The report shows that the Ameri- can enjoys a far higher standard of living. Autos, radios, electric refrigerators and washing machines have a part in the American life. The European workman never sees them. It is expected G. O. P.
