With two wonderful speeches at Juneau and Douglas Senator Dimond completed his speaking campaign on Gastineau Channel. He spoke to twelve hundred persons at the two meetings, and has met many others in this region. That he added to his strength in this community, which already was friendly to him and already absolutely convinced that he is the best qualified person in the Territory for Delegate to Congress, but mildly expresses the situation. The range of his addresses disclosed that he is familiar with the Territory to the uttermost detail, that he knows what is holding up develop- ment, and knows what is needed to correct the MR. DIMOND’S CAM situation and put new life into the country. | Calmly, forcefully, without rancor, with broad | tolerance and high-minded intelligence he set forth | the issues and proved his complete fitness to be the | representative of the people of the Territory. He made it plain that he loves Alaska and will serve her faithfully and well. His sincerity was evidenced in every syllable he uttered. He is wholly without selfishness or unworthy motive. He is earnest, energetic and efficient. Alaska is fortunate beyond compare that she has an opportnity to elect this able, loyal and good man to represent her in Congress. Word from every section of Alaska that he has visited in his campaign is that he made exactly the same sort of an impression everywhere as he made on Gastineau Channel. That he will carry every Division and go to Congress with an overwhelming majority of his people behind him seems to be absolutely certain. Let it be so. BUSINESS CONDITIONS RELATIVE. As a matter of fact, “good times” and “bad times” are relative terms. By com- parison with 1929 1930 was a ‘“poor year;” yet if 1933 experiences a level of activity comparable with 1930 the public will feel that conditions have improved materially. Popular psychology will be invigorated, buy- ing and manufacturing will become brisk, prices will stabilize with an upward ten- dency. People always forget slow years quicker than they do periods in which business is lively and unemployment general. Illustrative of this tendency is the glow- ing report of a trade journal that “steel production gained rapidly last week.” As a matter of fact, the index rose 1% per cent. to 14% per cent. of rated capacity. That ratio of activity would have appeared calamitous in 1928, 1929 or even in 1930 and 1931; yet if the improvement that has been noted during the last few weeks in time should bring the industry to a production twice that of last week, the disposition would to hail the change as conclusive evi- dence of a revival. Furthermore, there would be no disposition among the experts to question that judgment.—(Seattle Times.) Likewise, miners are encouraged because of the advance of the price of copper, yet 6%-cent copper would have been considered ruination two or three years ago. Also, Juneau people have been pleased with the increased price of fish as compared with a few weeks ago, but prevailing prices would have meant disaster a few years ago. IF TAMMANY IS NOT GOOD AL SMITH MAY TAKE THE HELM. Unless Surrogate O'Brien makes a very excellent Mayor of New York and reduces the cost of govern- ment materially the New York Times says Al Smith will probably be drafted for the Mayorality in the regular eclection next year. It goes further and declares that he will become the ruler of Tammany whether or not he bears the title of Leader if the famous Tiger does not mind its step. There is a deep seated feeling in the great metropolis that things will never be quite right until, for one term at least, New York shall have a “Mayor Alfred E. Smith.” He is looked upon as the one man capable of setting things in order both in the municipality and in ‘Tammany. The movement for Al Smith is already in mo- tion, and it will gather momentum fast after the election. Tammany and its Mayor must be on their toes and step hard on the gas at the right time or they will be taking orders from the greatest citizen of Gotham. The Times says the former Governor has no desire to be Mayor, but that he would probably subject himself to a draft. |virgin wealth will be capable of liquidating millons from Judge Hughes without making a speech what will he do with the State by actively stumping the | State for Gov. Roosevelt? The circumstance that 225 passengers left Nome for the South Saturday night is an argument in ftvor of the .adoption of an absentee voting law for Alaska. Nearly all of these passengers are old timers in the Territory. Indian Summer. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Indian summer? When is Indian summer? There is no date. ' It is when the Harvest Moon the | Great Spirit decrees a lazy man’'s holiday. The |warmth is of summer, the breezes are of spring. The sun rises high in a cloudless sky. Maize is |ready for the husking. Apples redden in the clear- |ing. Acorns patter on the hillside. The walnut, | hickory, butternut and beech are ripéning their harvest for the squirrel. The horizon is even bluer. A haze, the smoke {from the Peace Pipe of the Nations, hangs over the rim of the earth. Languor fills the veins. Man should have naught to do but to regard the wampum of the forest, the golden panoply of autumn. Oak, maple, gum and beech have donned their paint of festival. Thickets of alder, spice bush, buttonball, still harbor late-staying birds. The cicada and his brethren still cling to the delusion of this last fitful burst of summer. A bee hovers over the fore- ground of woodland asters, ironweed and goldenrod searching vainly for the perfume of summer. The sun drops like a bolt in the last after- noon. The West is a brazen bowl. Now is there chattering of blackbirds and the honk of geese as they settle for the night. The sun hangs, a red |disk, and is gone. | The wan moon mounts up. Now it is good to (draw close to the fire. Is that the sound of a distant whippoorwill, or is it but a memory? The night song of summer has changed. The voice of the cricket is fainter. There may be frost tonight. Draw nearer to the fire. It is no longer summer. Soon there will be the death of all things that |burst forth to make the spring. Another moon and |all will be but sticks in the wind of winter. Indian Summer? It is the last whisper of Manitou—his pledge to mankind of another spring. The Home of Pure Reason. i (New York Times.) Last week's sinking spell in the stock market is now easy to explain. It was principally due to cumulative and widespread evidence that busi- ness is really improving. It works out about as follows: Wall Street knows |that business is bound to be bad in a Presidential year. Then it looks around and notes queer things {happening. Steel is beginning to move. Clothes and shoes are selling so well that one begins to hear of overtime. It actually sounds like a business revival. But Wall Street knows that this really cannot be. It knows that in a Presidential year business must be bad, there is probably something about it in the United States Constitution or in the laws of the Medes and Persians. Therefore Wall Street is convinced that there is something fishy about the good news. From this it is an easy step to argue that when the truth is discovered the re- action will be something terrible. How to Beat the Jinx. (Seward Gateway.) Oscar Plowman tilts a poke containing $2,800 which was the result of the labors of three men for three weeks on Mills Creek, Moose Pass district. This is the equivalent of $933.3¢ per man or $311.11 per week, each. How many men, laboring at day’s wages and intermittent employment, can show as good a result in actual cash at the end of the summer No'thing Venture 2 by Patricia Wentworth SYNOPSIS: Nan Weare, terrorstricken at the possibil- ity that Jervis, her missing hus- band, has met foul play, begs hclp from his former fiance, Rocamund Carew.
