ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. HITLER REACHES GOAL. founder attained Over the last week-end Adolf Hitler, and undisputed leader of the Nazi Party, the goal representing the hope of a lifetime and unremitting and at times dangerous labor he had set for himself—Chancellor of the German Republic. If the mills of time have turned slowly for him, they, nevertheless, have turned surely. It is a far cry from corporal in the imperial German army in 1918, after four years active service, to Prime Min- ister, yet that is the gap that the one-time Austrian has bridged since Armistice Day, 1918. He started on his political crusade in the year following. Six others of his stripe made him their leader in 1919. Then came the years of organizing, of whirlwind campaigning, ceaseless political evange- listic outpourings. Steadily his Nazis spread their doctrines of chauvinistic nationalism, socialized capi- talism, moral, racial and religious revivals based upon a governmental system paralleling Ttalian fascism. Last July's national elections saw his Na- tional-Socialist Party poll 13,745,780 votes, far out- numbering any of its opponents on both the Left and Right. It elected 230 members to the Reichstag. Then Hitler, believing his hour had struck, de- manded of President von Hindenburg the Chancel- lorship. The aged but gallant Chief Executive of the Republic didn’t call Hitler, a decree dissolved | the Reichstag and von Papen held the post Hnlerl coveted until the latest elections in November. Into that campaign Hitler threw himself with fervor he| had never displayed in all his previous campaigns. | Despite that, his party emerged with drooping laurels. It had maintained its position as the strongest political organization w the greatest representation in the Reichstag, bt 5t 2,000,000 votes and 35 seats in the national assenibly. \The von Papen Government was faced with a| new Reichstag in which all save the Nationalists were its foes. Under this circumstance, von Hin- denburg then called on Hitler to form a Govern- ment under specific conditions. These were that the Cabinet should not be a Nazi body; that the Gov- ernment should not be a party movement; that he should not seek to rule by decree, nor upset what the von Papen Government had done. Hitler re- Jjected the call, declaring he would have all or none. Von Hindenburg gave him nothing, and called on Gen. von Schleicher to organize a Government. Hitler vowed he would not accept von Schleicher any more than he had von Papen, but on the meet- ing of the Reichstag, the Nazis voted with the other parties for a recess until January, instead of openly throwing down the guage to the new Gov- ernment. Last Friday Hitler brought about the downfall of von Schleicher. Little as he may have desired to do so, it was inevitable that von Hindenburg would turn to the Nazi chieftain in another effort to stabilize the Government. This was the manner in which Hitler reached the goal set for himself long ago. Yet he has, apparently, receded from his former all or none ultimatum of a few months ago. This is indicated by the fact that von Hin- denburg has surrounded him with a Cabinet of conservative members, giving Hitler but two of his own followers, All Europe particularly, and the world in general, will watch developments in Germany in the next weeks with deep and anxious interest. He is a self-declared foe to Democracy, pacifism and anti- militarism for Germany. He visions a united Ger- man nation under the leadership of an iron people like the Prussians. And he is thoroughly convinced that by substituting democracy for the imperialism under which she had waxed great, defeated Ger- many was doomed forever to subjection by her “hereditary enemies.” He has repeatedly attacked the Treaty of Ver- sailles, asserting in no uncertain terms: “We Na- tional Socialists don't regard the Versailles Treaty as law but as illegal.” His World War experience in the ranks of the German army did not turn him against armed forces as a method of settling disputes. Rather the opposite, as he came back to urge military power as the one means of restoring Germany to its “place in the sun.” This is the Hitler, as Chancellor of Germany, that France, just now setting up a new Government, England, Poland and other neighbor- ing nations will watch with anxiety. NEW YORK’S COST OF GOVERNMENT. Operation of the machinery of government of New York State cost the residents of that great commonwealth $17.67 per capita during the year 1931, it is revealed by statistics compiled by the Fed- the regular departments of the State Government in that year cost $224,430,664, which on the basis of an estimated population of 12698000 gave the trebled, thc 1918 flfll’& haying been $551. {which it has not yet been able to capture. men. The Territory has neither real nor personal property taxes and its system of administration is primitive as compared to that of New York but probably answers the purposes of this pioneer coun- try better than would a more complicated and in- volved system such as is needed to meet the problems of a highly industrialized and densely populated State such as New York. While several State Legislatures are considering for enactment measures declaring a moratorium on mortgaged real estate, embattled farmers of the Middle West are enforcing moratoriums of their own without the sanction of law. And usually they are successful. Christmas was over a month ago for the young- sters, but their elders will keep up the liquidation process this month and probably next before they too can begin to look forward with equanimity to the next peace and good will season. Fit or Faithful? (New York Times.) There is exquisite irony in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the enactment of the Federal Civil Service Law on the eve of one of the greatest political overturns in American history. Here is| Chairman Farley, chief ladler of the soup, girding up his loins for the day when he must make a paltry hundred thousand jobs satisfy the hunger of twenty- two million desrving Democrats. There come the know that Barbara has bar- gained with Farrell Armitage that Farrell shall have a year . in which to make her love - him. Mark has already ar< ranged to go to Armitage’s house in London the day he and Barbara were to be mar- ried. Farrell has agreed to try to cure Mark’s lameress, and to launch him as an artist. Ferrell's ally is Leila Cane, the girl he would have mar- ried had he not fallen in love with Barbara at sight. Barbara as gone to see Mark. CHAPTER, 19. MARK’S PLAN “Mark!” exclaimed Barbara. Mark, who usually at this hour permitted himself a dressing-gown was is dress-clothes, tie the per- fection of exactitude, delicately pleated shirt and pearl cuff-links. Only the crutch was the crutch of common every-day, and even that managed to enhance his good looks and give appeal to the halt- ing progress. “What in |got got you?” “ I thought T'd have a dress-up- parade,” said Mark., “A chap like Armitage gets himself up like this every might, you know. Has to, or his friends might forget heaven’s name has faithful now, swarming into Washington, childlike!what a perfect little gentlemen he in their confidence that if they can but touch the hem of the garments of some of the lesser spoon men already on the spot, a kindly word will be spoken, all in good season, in the ear of the Great Dipper himself. And yet at that very moment, when a million mouths are watering, and two million eyes are waiting to catch a glimpse of the waiters with their steaming trays, somebody has to recall that it was fifty years ago tomorrow that President Arthur, that old backslider, signed the Pendleton bill, des-" tined to deprive generations of worthy Republicans, and equally worthy Democrats, of at least a share of the spoils to which they deemed themselves entitled. Yet, if the shades of Curtis and Eaton and Schurz and Wheeler haunt the feast on March is. Only, his clothes, of course, fit him most excellently well and this whole thing’s wrong. I was a fool mot to see it at once.” He made his way to Barbara’s chair and sunk into it. Barbara camc |swiftly across the room and caught the crutch as he let it sway to- wards her. He still had not met her eyes. “Armitage, of course, will expee! the sort of get-up they wear in ‘Le Boheme'—velvet coat and soft shirt open at the throat and dove- fgrey trousers, strapped under the instep. God! Don't I look a fool! 4, the shades of Jackson and Marcy will be there {But, after all, he'll be paying for too.

Veteran pref- erence has been getting in its corrosive work. so long ago 257 applicants for the job of postoffice clerk at Washington proved by examination that jthey were better qualified for the job than the highest ranking veteran—but he got it. Exemp- tions and exceptions are still so numerous that Mr. Farley has as many places at his disposal today as his predecessor did in the days when Eaton was taking up his unfamiliar duties at the capital, and Foulke—no shade yet, bless his stout Hoosier heart!— Foulke—no shade yet, bles his stout Hoosier heart!— was trying to presuade his Indiana friends to apply to Government, State as well as National, the great organic law of the survival of the fittest. Mr. Roosevelt and the Congress. (New York Herald Tribune.) In refraining from further attempts to impose |leadership upon his party in the present session of Congress, President-Elect Roosevelt would be but vielding to a situation which seems out of control. If, as reported, he has decided that a special session cannot be avoided, nothing can be gained for him or for the country by efforts to secure the passage of hastily considered legislation. After March 4 he will be in full command, with a considerable Democratic majority in both the Senate and the House. It might be much better to use the few weeks intervening in quietly reaching an agreement, with the party’s Congressional lead- ers on a program which they can carry out, or think they can carry out. Then, when the special session meets, they might put through their program with- out undue delay, adjourn and go home. We can scarcely hope the situation will be so simple, but that is the ideal. The sooner the country knows what the Democrats are going to do by way ideas of the new President the better it will be for business, the better for everybody. The country may or may not like it, but the uncertainty of pro- longed wrangling would be worse—would do far more to hold up business recovery and lengthen the depression. James J. Farley, National Chairman, spoke brave- ly and truly at Cincinnati when he said: The fact that we have won is not as important as what we may do with our vic- tory. . . . Existing emergencies call for a degree of co-operation such as we have never exerted before. There must be an end to sectional jealousy, to purely selfish demands for national aid and to anything which does not contribute to the national welfare. ‘We wish every Democratic member of Congress —every member of Congress, indeed—would take those words to heart and act accordingly. While New Yorkers are shouting for protection of the Alaska bear we take pleasure in countering: They might do something to protect their Wall Street bulls—(Seward Gateway.) Officially the Chinese are leaning toward the idea of passive resistance against the Japanese, but even this will be pretty annoying to the latter.— (Boston Globe.) Sharp criticism is leveled at the report of the President’s committes on social trends. It seems it tells us whence quite clearly, without dwelling enough on whither.—(Detroit News.)

Not |Leila Cane took you to an Albert Hall Carnival or somethin’ up to London and you were an old man| with a barrel-organ and she was la gypsy-dancer in green chiffon chained to your wrist? You ought to have had a prize, I thought; goin’ &Il that way. And I re- member afterwards I asked her if she enjoyed herself and she said no, she hadn't particularly.” “Strange!” mused Mark faintly smiling. “I remember that I en- joyed myself, quite.” Barbara, still holding the crutch, still looking at him, began hur- riedly to tremble. She knew that when the trembling passed into Ler hand the crutch would begin to rattle on the floor and Mark would turn his faint, dreadful smile upon her. She saw his smile as through an emerald mist; sensed, for a mo- ment, how lightly the jewel had lain upon flesh that was smooth and bare. . . .The crutch was tap- tapping an irritating, intrusive rhyme. “Oh, thank you,” said Mark po- litely. He took the crutch from her shaking hands, slowly and painfully lifted it across his knees and propped it up next to him, against the mantlepiece. “Thank you, I oughtn't to have troubled you to hold it.” Mrs. Lodely had returned to the fire. “If we do go up to stay with Mr. Armitage, I s'pose both of usll need a bit of smartenin'.” “Wait till were at Brandage Place and Tl get clothes from Armitage.” “My dear boy, he's not goin’ to keep us in clothes and pocket- money just because he's asked us to come and spend a few days Wwith him.

Then Mrs. Lodely leapt gladly into the breach. “There now, I told Babs you could get married on Thursday just as arranged, if you did it be- fore you start to Town! I'm sure it you do it first thing on Thurs- s, Babs'll be quite satisfied, won't never meant anythin' like that!” sted Mrs. Lodely, as she heav- herself to her feet and, an- nouncing loudly that she would see about some supper, got her- self out of the room. As the door clashed shut behind Mark’s head fell forward. His ips were white and his whole ‘rame twitched sharply. In an in- tant Barbara was kneeling by his side, her arm across his shoul- lers, the other hand seeking to r0ld him up. ‘Lean back, Mark, ight. I have you sate.

A tide of peace washed up over the conflict of her thoughts and the world went empty of ev- erything but Mark and herself and his need of her. White ash powdered and fell from the burning log into the fire. Never = his, Don't you know it? Every merve in her leapt, start- tled. Someone had spoken in her ear? Before she could stop her- self, her head had jerked up and round, her eyes raking the shad- ows of the room. Don't you know 1£? Tt echoed in her ears—no, no, not in her ears; in her mind. Far- rell Armitage was speaking in her mind—and her mind had respond- ed with instant recognition. A muffled exclamation from Mark as her violent movement had (@ == shifted his head smartly to the chair-back. “Barbara! tranquil!” She made no plea for forgive- ness. She withdrew her arm from him and standing to her feet, peered about her. “My darling beautiful, a ghost?” “No. Yes.” She was panting. “I thought I heard—Did you hear a voice say—something?” His eyes were so bright, so amus- ed that she almost believed he could read her secret. all that had passed last night were spread before him, like a book? ‘What if the miles between this house and that other new one were uncounted, mere walls of glass? “The wedding is to be at nine, Barbara, instead of twelve. After which, my girl, you'll come aboard the plutocrat’s car with us and stay at Brandish Place, too. He won't mind. He'll probably like it—shouldn’t say he’s the kind that rather enjoys having a pretty creature hanging upon his every word. It's futile to toil when you can wallow.
