[ ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION, | | NO OFFICES PROMISED. In another column today Democratic National| Commiteeman James J. Connors declares that the | Democrhtic organization in Alaska has promised no office to any one in the event of Democratic suc- cess. He s the Democratic organization does not parcel out offices behind closed doors. If the Demo- crats should win the National election he says there will be a square deal and an equal opportunity for everybody. The purpose will be to let the officials be selected by the Democrats of the Territory. He| believes that each Division ought to pick the men that are to serve the Division and the Territory at large do that service for the Territorial offices. As Mr. Connors well says, the discussion of candi- dates for appointive offices now would be decidedly premature. The first thing is to win the election. There will be plenty of good men for all the offices when the time comes, if it does come, and every one of them will have an equal opportunity. DISREGARD SCANDAL MONGERS AND MUDSLINGERS. One thing the voters ought to remember above all others when they go to the polls Tuesday: They should guard themselves against being carried off their balance by the ravings of scandal mongers and mudslingers, They know the candidates who are running for Office, and they know the charges of thsoe Ketchikan people who have been smothering the Territory with slanderous mimeographed circulars | regarding “Democratic canidates are not true. .The charges ought to be wholly disregarded. Senator Dimond in his Juneau speech said he‘ did not ask anyone to vote for him on account of personal friendship. He asked for the votes of those who believe he would make the best Delegate to| Congress. That gught to be the standard by which voters measure the candidates. They ought to study well the list of candidates, and they ought to pick out those whom they believe would serve them best, and cast their votes accordingly. DON'T FORGET JIM CONNORS. Juneau Democrats ought to vote unanimously for James J. Connors for National Committeemen. If the Democrats should carry the National election the position of National Committesman will be very important. Mr. Connors is a man that meets the requirements of important matters splendidly. He has served Juneau as City Councilman and Mayor time after time, and he was never found wanting in any particular, He is a man of sound judgment and splendid courage. He is sturdily honest and honorable. His word is as good as a bond. He is a thorough Alaskan, and an able representative of the Territory’s best interests. As Alaska’s. member of the National Committee he has been energetic, on the square and working for his party and the Territory all the time. The Democrats of Alaska could search with a fine tooth comb and find no one better ‘qualified in every way to represent them on their Nafional Committee. Don't forget Jim Connors next Tuesday. SHORT NAMES FOR HEADLINES. If Gov. Roosevelt ever becomes President that nine letter name will try the temper of many headline writers. Short names make building news heads easy. Hoover is convenient. So was Wilson. Taft was a constant delight. The former President Roosevelt was not so bad because all newspaper men claimed the right to treat him familiarly, and they had recourse to “Teddy.” In New York they call their Governor “Frank,” but the people generally are not sufficiently familiar with him to put up with such informality, and then there are too many “Franks” to make it distinctive. That suggests that:there have been few recent Presidents and none among the early ones who had the peculiar characteristics that made nick-names popular. “Old Hickory” was the first President to have a nick-name that was generally used. “Tippe- canoe,” “Rough and Ready” or “Old Zach” and “Old Abe” were popular for much the samé reasons “Old Hickory.” They, too, were rugged frontiersmen, People were familiar with “Frank” Pierce and “Old Buck” for other reasons. They were mixers, hail fellows, popular with “the boys.” There have been nick-names for practically all the Preidents, but since the days of “Old Abe” i there has been but one that was generally used. There was occasional use of “Unconditional Sur- render” Grant, “Honest Grover,” and others, but only “Teddy” was accepted by those of all classes. It was suggesitve of the type of the man it was applied to. “Teddy” was “Teddy”’—the man boy and BRISBANE VERS ALASKA FACTS. Arthur ] ' has discovered that the United it was $8,000,000 whereas it was only $7,200,000. He says Russia sold the country because she was tired of it, having killed off ths sea otters. But that he realizes what he is writing about is evidenced by the statement that “there is no knowing how many hundred times we may get back the $8,000,000 from Alaska's treasures, besides adding a great empire to our territory.” The Empire believes it is important that the Roosevelt ficket for Delegates to the Democratic National Convention should be successful in the primary next Tuesday. Registration is not required of voters at Tues- day's primary election. Any American citizen who has resided in Alaska one year and in the com- munity for 30 days immediately preceding the elec- tion has the right to vote. In order to votg for the nomination of Senator Dimond for - Delegate to Congress at the primary election on Tuesday it will be necessary to ask for 2 Democratic ballot. Mr. Dimond is running on the ticket of that party. All three Democratic candidates for Delegate to Congress are now campaigning in Southeast Alaska. Well, voters are more plentiful here than elsewhere in the Territory. British Columbia is lifting the reservation bans in that Province in order to encourage private capi- talists to enter and possess the natural resources and develop them. But British Columbia has juris- diction in the premises. They have self-government there. Trend of the Times. (Miami, Fla., News.) At the bottom of the list of “nuisance taxes” put into the revenue bill as substitutes for the sales tax we see a mysterious stranger. War taxes made us familiar with the automobile tax, the amuse- ments ‘tax, the tax on documents. The depression adds a tax on safety deposit boxes, 10 per cent. of rent, calculated to add the huge sum of $1,000,000 to the nation’s revenues. The Government spends $4,000,000 a year. Safety deposit boxes balance the budget to the tune of 1-40th of one per cent. It isn’t the revenue the statesmen are after; it's the hoarders. We are to sock the hoarder who puts his money into a safety deposit box instead of the bank—or sock. Ben Franklin made himself immortal teaching the people the high art of saving. Save your money, he sald, and escaps your troubles. Those were the days when food and raiment came hard. The food was dug from the soil with a crude plow and a hoe. The clothing was got by laborious spinning and weaving by hand. Such a thing as “over- production” of necessaries was unknown. Savings, the making of necessary capital, came hard. Save, save, Poor Richard said. The good citizen was the citizen who bought as little and “hoarded” as much as he possibly could. Had there been safety deposit boxes in those days, Ben Franklin wauld have been for voting them a subsidy. Now we place a penalty on them. The slow, laborious production of Franklin’s time gives way to the “quantity production” of our own time. Food overflows, Factories can make twice as many shoes and suits as they can sell. He who saves instead of spending all he gets checks in- dustry, disemploys workers. From the White House Gown we preach that the good citizen is the citizen who spends. W= make laws to discourage “thrift.” That rumbling you hear is Ben Franklin turning over in his grave. Liberal Party Still for Free Trade. (Manchester Guardian.) The annual report of the [Liberal] Federation— the forty-ninth—deals with the political events of the year. It notes that since the election it has become apparent that all the understandings and pledges which led millions of Liberals to vote Con- servative have gone for nothing, in face of the pressure from an overwhelming Conservative major- ity; and thus, without any definite appeal to the electorate on this subject, Free Trade has been destroyed by a Government which the Liberal party helped to establish and ‘which includes Liberal leaders. The declaration defining Liberalism and its tasks in the new era, which forms the first of the reso- lutions to be put before the Conference, includes the following: Liberalism believes that self-reliant individual energy is the source of all progress, and its aim is to create the positive conditions which will enable every man and woman to make the most and the best of their own powers. This cannot but be prevented either by a policy which aims at the rigid regimentation .of human activities under the control of the State, or by a policy dictated by deference to vested interests, to wealth, and to ‘established privilege. For this reason Liberalism cannot and will not base itself upon any one class, however rich or numerous, however powerful or well organized. Liberalism regards trade not as a form of con- flict between nations, but as a means of conferring mutual benefits, It believes that an unimagined material prosperity would come to the world if the products of everybody's honest work were freely interchangeable for the products of everybody else's honest work. Meanwhile it believes that any nation which will give to its people unrestricted access to all that the world produces will do best for its own people and for the world at large, Boxcar Held, But Jail Didn’t. (Seattle Star.) In Dalton, Pennsylvania, the citizens “formally inaugurated” a new jail. The Marshal scurried around and found 'a prisoner, and he was duly locked up—the place thus being “dedicated to the service of humanity” as some quaint mind put it. In Palouse, Washington, two gunmen locked up the Marshal in a boxcar and proceeded to loot a few stores. The prisoner in Dalton’s lockup kicked the bars out of the window, then kicked down the door and escaped. The prisoner in the Palouse boxcar kicked at the door in vain, He wae still there in the morn- Maybe the jail-makers ought o go to school to the boxcar construction artists—or sumpin’.

She walked fast, enjoying the cool air, the gray dusk, the gleam of lighted windows. The late day traffic rushed by her, big cars, small cars, freighted with home- going humanity. And suddenly among them she saw Gar's road- ster. Marge was sitting e Gar, snuggled deep in her fur coat, her shoulder close to Gar’s. She was laughing, her face close to Gar’s. Kitty, hawwed In the shadow of a tree, felt a wave of physical sickness pass over her. She did not argue with herself. “It's all right. He might have met her somewhere. Of course, if he did, he'd run her home.” She shrank from Gar's coming in. She wouldnt ask him—But she did. “Yoy passed me on Elm Avenue, Gar. You were with Marge.” She could have said it o carelessly, laughed at it. But she said it in the new sharp voice she found herself using now, so often.

Her throat felt too thick for speech. But she must have, for the words, the angry tone of them, hung in the air between them. “Put it that way if you want to." He swung around. His face was dark, tortured, and there was an odd, unhappy pleading in his eyes as if he were mutely asking of Kitty something tthat he could not put into words. But Kitty would not see it. Kitty went to Bridgewater all alone. but (found herself unex- pecledly returning to Winton.

S S B HOLLYWO0OD BARGAINS We have just received a few more diamonds from a -Hoellywood Broker and they are just as good bargains as the others. Our cus- tomers for those are highly pleased and they should be as we have seen nothing to compare to these values in our thirty years in the diamond business. This price condition is only tem- porary. The Diamond Syndicate has not reduced prices one cent. They| are doing just as they did when; the Russian Debacle threw so many diamonds on the market. They simply said “Our price is the same” and waited until the distress goods were reabsorbed and then we paid the same. Diamonds at these prices are a better buy than any bond or stock on the market as any firm may go broke but the world will not, and lovers will always buy diamonds. We have a fine white perfect 94 hundreds for $275.00, usually worth about six hundred. It is in an old- as your mother wore.and will need resetting. A fine white perfect 76 hundreds for $150.00 in a real snappy modern mounting is anoth- er opportunity. Also a wonderful forty-two hundreds for seventy dol- lars.
