ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | | G. 0. P. CONVENTION WILL BE WET. The New York Herald Tribune says the wets are already assured of a safe working majority in the Republican National Convention and its Resolutions Committee. It fixes the standing of the delegates elected up to May 8 as 589 wet, 156 dry and 49 doubtful. It suggests that the drys are likely to | ment. ! ington quarter will replace the twenty-five cent piece now in circulation. No other quarter dollar will be coined for the next twenty-five years unless authorized by special act of Congress. Minted at San Francisco, Denver and Philadel- phia the coins will be placed in circulation through | the regular channels of the Federal Reserve Banks, and will appear simultaneously in all parts of the country. Gov. George White, Onio’s favorite son candidate for the Presidency, did not think so highly of his National chances as to retire from the race for Governor of his State. Both Gov. White and Senator Bulkley were renominated by Buckeye Demo- crats, Owen D. Young knows now to count himself out of the running for President. He says he would not accept the nomination for President it it were given to him. i The Pulp Tariff. | (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Plainly, the depressing world-wide economic con- ditions are a threat to immediate Alaskan develop- That fact it so patent that it needs little amplification. The establishment of the pulp and |paper mills, imminent two years ago, has been |indefinitely deferred. The construction of the Fed- |eral Building here, contemplated for this year, has been delayed for at least a year. The construction of a can factory here, planned for this spring, has been indefinitely delayed. There should be nothing distressing in all that. We know that conditions cannot remain this way indefinitely. When they revive, promised developments, perhaps in fields that now we little dream can be exploited. But there appears to be one means at hand to help bring about the realization of one of our major industries. That is the insistence on protec- tive tariff for lumber and pulp products. The {Northwest States—Washington and Oregon — have make gains in the 380 delegates that had not been chosen up to that time. However, the wets with their 589 votes, to eliminate any claims from the doubtful votes, have eleven more than the necessa 578 to constitute a majority. It is regarded as cer- tain that they will run their strength up o more than 600—perhaps they will go far enough above that figure to give them a convention majority of 100. The great Republican New York newspaper says the wets are sure of a majority in the Resolutions Committee, which is composed of one member from each delegation. That will mean fifty-three com- mitteemen. It thinks the wets will have at least twenty-eight of these and probably twenty-nine. The only danger it can see might arise through inability of wets to agree on the terms of the convention plank. Some of them favor a referendum as a con- dition precedent to legislation; others would prefer the simple resubmission of the Eighteenth Amend- ment; still others ask for immediate repeal. The canvass of the elected delegates by Re- publican leaders upon which the Herald Tribune bases its conclusions indicates a division of State become active proponents of such a plan during |recent weeks. Feeling the pinch of depressing con- |ditions in the Iumber and pulp industry, with ° |thousands of men idle, with huge plants not turn- |ing over, that agitation has not been hard to arouse. | We in Alaska, although we did once—as Wash- |ington and Oregon did—enjoy great prosperity from {those quarters, might well follow the lead of inter- ests in those States. In point of fact, of course, we already have. The Chamber of Commerce only limports to the United States. It is a distressing |fact that the great majority of the newsprint con- sumed in the United States comes from Canada and, in part, from other foreign countries. At the same time, the vast Tongass National Forest, ideally suited for the manufacture of newsprint and little suited for anything else, is idle. Purely as a matter of self-preservation we might urge that measure of protection which not only would help our neigh- boring American States but would tend to speed the eventual establishment of pulp and paper mills in this section. A prohibitive tariff, of course, has its objections. Perhaps it would bring about disastrous results if lit were to cause in Canada the same conditions which we here are trying to correct. But there surely can be little valid objection to a measure of dtlegatslto;:i o Wet Dry Dnubuu]:‘protecnon. From what those directly gmcemed ermont 5 4 poi] |have said, the manufacture of newsprint in Alaska New Hampshire 7 2 2 would not be appreciably more expensive than sim- Bhode Talatid 9 et = {ilar manufacture elsewhere.

But- ler, former Senator from Massachusetts and a possible Chairman of the Republican Reso- lutions Committee; and the rapid succession of switches which took all but one of the President’s Cabinet and ten additional Sen- ators from the dry to the wet column, were forerunners of the present indicated wet majority in the convention itself. NEW BICENTENNIAL QUARTER DOLLAR COINED. The new George Washington quarter dollar, to be issued by the United States Treasury as a feature of the nation-wide George Washington Bicentennial Celebration, will be coined in large enough quan- tities to satisfy a normal demand, officials of the Treasury have informed the United States George ‘Washington Bicentennial Commission. It is expected that the quarter will be ready for distribution be- fore June 1. The design of the new coin was approved by Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills from more than a hundred models, many of them sub- mitted by leading American artists. It was executed by John Flanagan, New York sculptor and the de- signer of the Department of Agriculture World War Memorial. The obverse of the new coin bears the portrait of George Washington in profile. Over the head appears the word “Liberty,” and below it is stamped the date “1932” To one side is the motto “In God We Trust.” The principal design on the other side is a spread eagle with the inscription “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum” above, and “Quarter Dollar” below. An olive branch also ap- pears below the eagle to complete a stately, digni- fied design. The new coin is exactly the same size, weight and finneness as the present quarter dollar. Gov. Ritchie’s Modesty. (Seattle Times.) One of the ablest and most outspoken of the Democratic Party’s National leaders is Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. Heretofore he has never failed in prompt and full response to every fair question, but for once in his career he has had to shy off. A press association asked each of the when economic | standards shift to new quarters, we shall have our| |recently passed a resolution favoring a duty on pulp| Governors recently in conference at Richmond, Va., to state his personal preference for President. “Mod- esty prevents my answering,” said Governor Ritchie.

It's ony polite to your hosts to appear gratified —(Washington Post.) ou R SYNOPSIS: “Mrs. Town- send” Georgie Revell Town- send is asked abruptly and she realizes that danger threatens her effcrts to keep her recent marriage to Eddie Townsend a secret. She recognizes her questioner as the doctor who gave first aid to Eddic before he was taken unconscious to the hospital, after the car in which he was driving Georgie and her cousin, Jenny had been crashed. Georgie plans to say that Jenny was married and nct herself, as they have the same name, to keep her em- ployer from carrying out his thrcat of firing Georgie if she marries. But this docter may have learned the truth. He tells Georgie that Eddie got a scvere mervous shock in the smash, although he is a fa- mous plane pilot. Eddie’s nerve has so completely gone that he will have to take a holiday from flying, the doctor says. “What happened?” Georgie en- quires, not admitting that she is Mrs. Townsend. CHAPTER 14. A SPY CALLS The doctor sat down. His bright, bold eyes held her ruth- lessly. “What happened was that the traffic made him so hysterical that the driver turned and brought him e back to the hospital. And as they were helping him out of the cab some planes went over and he fainted. “He fainted?” “Afterwards he begged the nurse to hide him, because if he avas sent up wagain he would crash. He's been given a sleeping-draught and no doubt he'll get over this particular phase of terror. But Dalling thought it only fair to warn you that he won't be fit to fly again for a long time, if ever. . .1 was coming up to tawn, so I said T'd call.” ‘There was a long, lence. Georgie put out her -cigarette. Presently she heard her own voice. It was shrill and a little roughen- ed. “It’s bad luck, isn't on his wedding day.” Another pause. She forced her self to look up. The doctor's calculating, too-familiar glance was wandering around the room, tak- ing in the new leather chair, the new phonograph, the elaborate ra- dio. “It's good of you to have both- ered to look in” Her voice was still a little uneven but she spoke very slowly and carefully. “T'm extremely grateful—and—and—Ed- die's wife will be grateful, when she has got over the shock of hearing about Eddie.” “His wife?” The doctor aban- doned his security of the room. He too, seemed to speak very slowly and carefully. “Then you are not Mrs. Townsend? I've made a mis- take?” Georgie moistened her lips. “Yes, you've made a mistake.” she said. ‘Tt was my cousin— the other Miss Revell that Eddie Townsend married.” “The young lady who went with dreadful si- it?

Goodbye.” The door had shut behind him before Georgie ‘thought of saying “Goodbye.” She raised her left hand as though it belonged to someone else and looked at it. The ring was| locked away in her new dressing table now. She had taken it off— when? She couldn’t remember. She had a recollection of putting it for | safe-keeping in her bag, surely at the time of the accident she hdd been wearing gloves! Or—or had she taken them off when she and this doctor-man tore her silk into strips to bandage Eddie's head? ‘“‘Doctors do netice those things, you know.” | Furious indignation mounted in her. The cad, coming here to spy jon her and bait her—and walking off without even telling her his (beastly name! Deliberately she whipped up het anger. So long as she was angry, she would pretend that she was not afraid. She could keep fear at the back of her mind. The anger fell from her. Better face things. She would not at twenty-eight have been privtae sec- retary to Grafton Matching, at a salary of five thousand dollars a year, if she hadnt always faced things. ‘Eddie’s marriage was public know- ledge. It was reported in the GETTING ALONG Record, already. The Old Man read the Record. Anyway, all the papers would have it She must tell him, of course, that the Miss Revell mentioned was Jenny. Jenny had already con- sented to that manouvre, if nec- essary. - Loyal little soul, Jenny! Suppose the Old Man didn't believe her? 1f he didn't believe her, he would dismiss her. He would not em- ploy a married woman worker. She would get @ month's salary and she { would go. A month's sa any more than p: wouldn't do her bank over- draft. 'What about the rest of the bills? What about the trous- sean? Eddie’s savings were there, but| they would, not support the two of them for very long. They would not even support Eddie alone for very long. And who to Kknow, who was to say how long Eddie must, somehow, be supported? She flung up her chin. Take vents by the throat, always the best way. She went to the phone and got the number of the house in Rochester Gate. “Revell speaking.” she said, me- chanically. This was the signal for her to be switched through to the | Old Man, in whichever room he might be. She waited tensely for the first grating rasp of the ‘“Well —what d’you want?” But— Copyright, Julia Cleft-Addams.) But—another voice answers to her surprise. Georgie starts her attempt, tomorrow, to con- vince Matching she is not mar- reid. Dld papers ter saw at The Empire. P SAVE HALF wWO0D CLEAN HEMLOCK 14 in., 16 in., 24 in.
