NAVY DAY. Today Is Navy Day wherever the American flag flies. It is the anniversary of the beginning of the present American Navy and the anniversary of the birth of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, most persistent, probably, of the supporters of a big navy, among the Presidents of the United States. This year is the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, which is being cele- brated throughout the Nation, and the George Wash- ington Bicentennial Celebration Commission is as- sisting in the celebration of this Navy Day. The day is sponsored by the Naval League and is supported by Naval officers and friends of the Navy through-| out the country. The need for a Navy, which was authorized during his Admniistration, was recognized by Presi- dent George Washington, and he never ceased to urge the construction of an adequate power to protect American interests on the sea. In his last| pessage to Congress, December 7, 1796, he said: To an active external commerce the po- tection of a naval force is indispensable. To secure respect for a neutral flag requires a { naval force organized and ready to vindicate it from insult and aggression. This may even prevent thé necessity of going to war by discouraging belligerent powers from commit- ting such violations of the rights of the neutral party as may, first or last, leave ' no other option. | One could write columns and not say more| than President Washington said in that brief para- graph in support of the need for an adequate navy.! What is an “adequate” navy is a matter over which there might be differences of opinion. However, thel navy ought to be large enough to meet the re- quirements set forth by Washington. In this country it ought to meet in full strength allowed the United | States in the Washington naval limitations treaty. At this time when the country is striving for ways to meet the unemployment situation nothing| should be left undone to build up the Navy as fast| and large as the treaty will allow. It is worth mentioning at tnis time that another | | jinally a Republisan, |us by one of Juneau’s fairest and brightest pioneer women and one of the most earnest supporters |of Senator A. J. Dimond, Democratic nominee for ‘De]egflw to Congress: | STAMPEDE! Friends, have you heard the latest news | About the great stampede? | It goes above a gold strike In our greatest time of need. | Away out to the Westward Has been found a gem so bright That, like the mighty Kohinoor, 'Twill sparkle thro' the night. A sham may do in sunlight And glitter to the eye, But plunge it into darkness; Its life and fire will die. But gems of rarest value Can lead you thro' the fight, A beacon, in the darkness, | A challenge to the night. So, come, and join our stampede And stake your claim by mine; Come, be a loyal Democrat, And watch our Dimond shine! PIONEER. A tourist was fined in Colorado for frightening a bear. A tourist that could frighten an Alaska brown bear would be in demand as a guide for bear hunters. Al Smith is making up for lost time in the earnestness and effectiveness of his campaign for Roosevelt and Garner. English See Election Going Toward Roosevelt. (Manchester Guardian.) Governor Roosevelt continues to gather strength in the American Presidential elections. A National Progressive League has been formed, with members belonging to the more advanced wing of both major parties, and is to support Mr. Roosevelt. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, is its Chairman. He is nom- though he has consistently opposed Mr. Hoover, and has great influence in the West. Senator Hiram Johnson, Republican, of Cali- fornia, though not yet openly supporting the Demo- crats, is speaking against the President on vir- tually Democratic terms. Mr. Roosevelt himself has just concluded a tour of the West and Middle West, and has been well received. As a set-off President Hoover has secured the postpontment until January of a proposal to cut wages on the railways, and a slight decrease in unemployment is noticed. The unemployed still number 11,400,000, however. The President has abandoned his intention of “fight- ing the election from the White House,” and will speak next week in Iowa, where agricultural dis- content is high. Meanwhile the death of a Senator from Colorado has given the Democrats a majority in both Houses of Congress. Annual Labor. (Anchorage Times.) Fairbanks Pioners will find many Alaskans ready to agree with them that suspension of the annual labor requirement in Alaska does more harm than g | Roosevelt, also a friend of the Navy Department of i qoes good. The®Act of Congress which was passed which he was Assistant Secretary for more than seven years, is in all probability about to become President of the United States. That he will advo- at the request of big mining interests in the States to relieve them of the necessity of employing men to perform assessment work on their extensive hold- cate a Navy that will meet the actual needs of the|ings, should not have been extended to Alaska, greatest of countries may be accepted as assured. STAMPEDE! For its twenty years of existence The Empire,| for reasons regarded as sound and practical by its editors, has refused to accept verse for publication. We shall not reverse our rule, but suspend it for a day because the following lines were offered to with many men in the Territory needing the money which is required to be distributed annually by owners of idle properties. The movement which has been started in Fair- banks to prevent further suspension of the annual labor requirement should have the support of all mining communities throughout the Territory, so that when Congress convenes in December there will nat be any doubt about Alaska sentiment on this important question.

That's| the somewhat cagy and more then somewhat resentful voter back ‘to the frame of mind that will make him refrain from walloping the “ins” just because they are in. And that leads to a new story that's just going the local rounds. In a group here recently, in which were included former Delegate George B. Grigsby and Delegate Wickersham, the latter was tell- ing how hadly he had been hit by the economy wave. Why, he said, | his salary had been cut to $9,000 | a year. “I lost just $1,000 a year on that 10 per cent cut,” he com- plained. | “Oh, well, don't let that worry | you. Next year you're going to be reduced just 100 per cent.” re- torted the irrepressible Grigsby. .o From the Delegate’s Washington office, Will A. Steel, the former Juneau resident who was appoint- ed as his Secretary by Wickersham instead of Wiliam L. Paul, inde- pendent candidate for Attorney General, has injected plenty of comedy, all of it umintentional, into the Territorial campaign. With Congress on vacation, Steel is pass- ing away the time by efforts to aid his boss get re-elected, mail- ing out each week to various or- ganizations, newspapers and indi- viduals, comments on current poli- tical occurrances. +One . of Steel's wisecracks was anent the Maine eléction last month. Writing in Washington ris of Nebraska, Senator Johnson of California, Senators LaFollette and Blaine of Wisconsin, Senator Cutting of New Mexico, and Ben-l ator Nye of North Dakota, all of whom have formally announced their support of Gov. Roosevelt. That, however, is but one of many reasons why betting odds are two to one that the Democratic candi- date will be elected. ... Locally, there seems to have been but very little cash money wagered on the national outcome. There is some Roosevelt money to be had at various places but no takers have been located. Odds were mot quoted but are said to be available if anyone is seriously in- terested. s I A few days ago a neat, trim lit. itle boat dropped its lines over & |cleat on a local dock for a brief business visit. It was an Angoon craft and had three prominent {leaders of that viilage aboard. They had come 00 see about the suspension of publication of a Pet- tersburg weekly paper in which they were interested, and if possible to arrange for resumption of pub- |lication. They were unsuccessful i that, but they said they learned | about politics they didn't know be- fore. And as they cast loose from the float and headed back for home, the spokesman of the par- ;ty called to a friend ashore: “Goodbye! Angoon goes Democrat- ic this Fall.” ... Before “Tony” Dimond, able {lawyer and outstanding Alaskan who is the Democratic nominee for. Delegate to Congress, left With Judge Frank A. Boyle and Norman R (Doc) Walker to campaign through the northern end of the Division, & friend asked him why he was going to stop at the Indian communities of Angoon and Hoo- nah. “It's just a waste of time and you'll not get any Indian has been'votes” he was told. “They won% 'culating his literature, and possibly all of the Indians who hear me won't understand some of the ithings I want to say to them. But some of them will. Of more importance, however, is the fact that I will see them, get to know the conditions under which they are attempting to make a living, and, T hope, learn from them how they expect the Delegate to Con- gress to assist them become moare self-sustaining factors in the Ter- ritorial organization. If I can do this, T will be repaid for the time and energy expended,” responded Senator Dimond. . e “Bill” [Hesse, Territorial High- way Engineer, who is seeking re- clection on the Democratic ticket, is one official who practices as well as preaches economy of public funds.
