Nothing should be left undone to defeat the plan of the Interior Department to procure legislation permitting the transfer of activities of the Alaska Road Commission from the War Department to the Interior Department. The War Department has been successfully building and maintaining roads in Alas- ka for more than a quarter of a century. The In- terior Department has little experience in road build- ing and maintenance here or elsewhere. It has no road organization at all. Due to the fact that an Executive order was made recently transferring the Richardson Highway to the Alaska Railroad, and it would have become effective if it had not been discovered that it would require legislation to make it legal, it is belicved that this move for the necessary legislation is a direct attack on this highway that runs from the coast at Val- dez to Fairbanks. The Richardson Highway has served Alaska ad- mirably in the years that have elapsed since its building and it is still serving. A grateful people have contributed to the purchase and erection of a memorial to the father of the Alaska Road Com- mission, Gen. Wilds P. Richardson, for whom the Richardson Highway was named. The memorial is to be erected on the summit of the Richardson High- way and dedicated next summer. Not only ought this road to remain under the control of the organ- jzation that bullt it, and that has managed it to such good purpose, for practical reasons, but out of regard for the memory of Gen. Richardson, Alaska’s true friend, it ought not to be defiled by alien hands. Alaskans will resent to their uttermost legislation hostile to the Alaska Road Commission or disrespect- ful to the memory of its creator. Alaska Chambers of Commerce and other com- mercial organizations ought to get in touch with Delegate Wickersham immediately and every possible thing should be done by them to prevent this un- thinkable legislation. IT MUST BE THE WORLD’S MOST MAJESTIC FIGURE Germany has successfully passed the great crisis for which people had waited for a long time. She has definitely and emphatically taken her stand on the side of sanity. She has re-elected her “Grand Old Man” for another seven-year term as President by an overwhelming majority. The Germans have been fortunate in having Gen. Paul Von Hindenburg for a leader. Born and bred a monarchist of the strictest sect, he gave a life time service of the highest order to his Emperor. When Germany became a Republic, however, he remained German. Seven years ago he accepted a call to the Presidency. The Royalists who supported him in 1925 went to him confidently with their scheme to re-establish the Monarchy. Very quietly the old warrior, so long the personification of the strong arm and iron heel, simply told the Monarchists that he was under oath to support and defend the Ger- |ers. man Republic. That was all but it was enough. It was Hindenburg who had said it and Hindenburg says little but means all that he says. "That day the German Republic became stronger than ever before. During his term of office as the head of the German Republic President Hindenburg has stood staunchly and rigidly as ever stood the Iron Chancellor in his day of power. He has stemmed the tides of Communism, Socialism and Fascism, and Republican Germany seems to be as firmly es- tablished and rooted as ever was Imperial Germany. What an inspiration is this 85-year-old patriot who had been retired on account of ags before the World War! Then he came back into the army and held the Hindenburg line against the Allies for years. When his Emperor gave up, abdicated and ran away, he remained with his country, in retirement for a time it is true, but he came to the front again when his country called, and once more rendered unmatch- ed service for his people. Today, beyond four score years of age, again the savior of his country, he stands forth the most majestic figure in the publie life of the world The Seattle Times thinks ten law” the Jones “five and not so bad because no Judge has had the temerity to impose the severe penalty. Isn't that a pretty good argument for its repeal? The penalty has not been imposed probably because it is deemed unreasonable. Do we want unreasonable laws? Liberals in Canada claim to see the beginning of a sweep back toward Liberalism in the Montreal election when Canada’s first city defeated the Con- servative Government and elected a Liberal Mayor by 12,000 majority and an overwhelmingly Liberal City Council. Hoarding Yachts. (Boston News Bureau) Chester M. Wright, of New York, representing the American Federation of Labor, is appealing to the wealthy yacht owners of New England to get their yachts into the water. He estimates that along the New England sea- board alone there are 1,000 yachts which give sum- mer employment to an average crew of 10 men and that these 10,000 men have now about exhausted their last summer’s savings. He estimates that it costs an average of $3,000 per yacht or a total of $3,000,000 to get these yachts into the water and ready for service, 90% of which is directly paid to labor for cleaning, scraping, paint- ing, motor overhauling, etc. If these yachts were be- ing put into commission as usual, as they are not, there would be over $2,500,000 thus paid to labor in New England seaboard communities. So far Mr. Wright is probably accurate in his es- timates, but he makes a serious mistake when he attempts to explain why these yachts are not being commissioned. He thinks that the reason is that the owners fear that to operate a yacht this summer would be regarded as an ostentatious display of lux- ury in these times and seeks to remove the appre- hension by broadcasting the fact that most of the expenditures of maintaining a yacht go directly to labor. That is not the reason why yachts will not be commissioned this summer. All the owners of the yachts that Mr. Wright refers to are surtax pay- Surtaxes are to be savagely increased. The only way that most surtax payers can meet these increased levies is by a drastic reduction of their personal expenditures. Most of the personal ex- penditures of the wealthy and well-to-do go directly to labor. If they are forced to cut them down, in- creased unemployment is inevitable. The American Federation of Labor has been con- spicuous in its advocacy of savage surtaxes, and in the defeat of the manufacturers’ sales tax. If the sales tax had been adopted, when the yacht engi- neer or the shipyard mechanic bought a dollar's worth of manufactured goods, 2% cents would have gone to the government, but he would have had his dollar to spend. Now the government is going to take the whole dollar before it gets to him. The American Federation of Labor cannot have its cake and eat it too. Not even Mr. LaGuardia can fix that for them. AR SR S PG William Gibbs McAdoo remarks that “you never can tell who will be nominated at a Democratic convention.” That is one of the things Willlam G. learned through hard experience in New York.—(De- troit Free Press). Another reason this is such a great country is because the police have agreed not to interfere while a father does the best he can to get back his own child from kidnapers.—(Dallas News). “Pennsylvania,” says Billy Sunday, “is dry outside of Philadelphia.” Yeah; that hose in the Lancaster sewers, fr instance, was to convey rosewater for sprinkling cabbage patches.—(Philadelphia Bulletin.)

Kitty has suc- ceeded in getting Gar to work instead of idle and is proud of the theatricals that he and Marge are planning. She tries to reconcile Gar to his half- brother, David. CHAPTER. 26. COMMITTE OF TWO When Kitty told Gar she'd. like to invite David and Dorcas Taber to their apartment for supper, he opposed it flatly. “Ncthing doing, Kit, with any of them. I don’t want that sort in my home. Why. what if any of our crowd dropped in and found them here? I suppose the next thing youwll want to 'do is to en- tertain some of the shop girls from Stratton’s. ut Gar kept his tone lightly teasing. “I would like to have you know Josie, Gar.” Kitty's eyes danced as the pictured such a meeting. Josie’s appreciation of Gar's gaod looks and his charm. y “Oh, I guess I could meet her anytime I wanted to, just by wait- ing outside the door at Stratton's.” Kitty let that pass. the point in hand. “But to please me, Gar—David was very kind to me. If I ask just him won you be nice about it?” Gar was putting on his coat to start for the office. He slipped out of it, threw it aside and, going to Kitty, gave her a little playful shake of tthe shoulders. “I've told you how I feel, Kit. And that's that. Now don't get me mad about it. Forget David —He's mothing to us. We've got enough friends to keep us busy. Here, put your arms around my meck and kiss me good-bye. That's the sweet girl.” She followed him to the outer ‘door where they kissed again. “T'll be- a little late tonight, Kit. I have-to drop around at Marge's—she’s called a committee meeting. Will you have my dress things out? And if those mew shirts of mine don't come this morning will you give Bond a ring? He promised to send them last week. By-by, darling. Take care of your precious self.” Kitty went back to the kitchen ette with a singing heart. She would feel ithe warmth of Gar's parting caress long after he had With a large capacity of goid- bearing sand taken from the beach of Dry Bay on the Gulf of Alas- ka, the motorship Governor Hart- ley, Capt.

They'd learned, both of them. But she had not given up her point, she|: told herself. In the kitchen cupboard she kept her budget book. Gar had laughed at it and at the serious- ness with which she studied it. “Punny lttle kid.

But they were “ahead.” And she wouldn't touch the small bal- ance left of her allowance. The doorbell rang and going to the door she took from a boy a lcng ox. Flowers, she knew. Gar often sent ‘them, stopping at the florists on the way to the office. Deep yellow, long-stemmed roses they were today and a little shoulder corsage tucked in one corner of the box for her to wear enight Her marketing was the high rience of the day.

Mrs. Close had not called on her at the apartment. Diana only came in the evening, with Marge and Tubby and the others. Now Di greeted her casually. “Going shopping?” .So are we. Isn't mother heartless to drag me out at this hour?” See you to- night—" Mrs. Close gave Kitty only a slight nod and half-smile. At lunch time Kitty ate an ap- ple and drank a cup of milk at the Kkitchen table. She'd give Bond until two to send Gar's shirts.

He did not ftell her all con- cerning the afternoon meeting. It had been a committee of two which had met at Marge's house. Marge and Gar, and they had sat cesily before a fireplace in Marge's own sitting room. Kitty remembered Miss Lee’s face as it had looked when she'd told her that she was leaving Stratton’s. “I have another job.” Well, she had—a woman's job, to meet Gar's needs, to guard their love.
