JON GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA CIRCULAT OTHER PUBLICATION. THAN THAT OF ANY A DESERVED RECOGNITION. By JOHN E. PEGUES, Managing Editor. The nomination of John Weir Troy by President to be Governor of Alaska is a deserved the leaders of the Democratic Party services rendered to the pal in the a period of about 30 y But it is more than that. It is equally a recognition of the of the demand of Alaskans, and Republican, t! real Alaskans be given pre- ference to Federal offices within the Territory. That of the velt on by tory over justice is more significant than the willingness Administration to reward efficient services, party loyalty and distinguished upholding of the tenets and principles of the Democratic Party. No man within the party, either in or out of Alaska, a more profound knowledge of the s of the Democratic Party, or a clearer nding of its Nor has anyone in the been more staunch in season and out of itory season proclaiming them. So steadfast has he been in this work, that the name of John Troy | has become synonomous with Democrat. Certainly | no one had so much to do with keeping the organi- \ zation alive and functioning between 1920 and 1932 as he had. None contributed more in time, noxson‘xl) effort and financially as he did. | In a knowledge of the Territory, its people. indus- '1 tries, conditions, problems of government and of | administration, no man is better versed. His con- tacts with those of all classes, working man, business | sional man and politician are probably | than other private citizen" man, prof more numerous any His outstanding work as Editor of The Empi putting him in undisputed first place in the Jo\u-‘ nalistic field in the Territo likewise gives him a deeper understanding of Alaska's needs, its resources and the general set-up than almost anyone else. This, with his thorough knowledge of the history | of territorial development in the United States, gives| him an unusually fine equipment for Governor. His judgmeft is sound, based upon a tempera- ment almost judicial in its impartiality and its desire to first acquire a knowledge of all the facts| and circumstances before making a decision. Hel is well-poised, cultured, dignified and able. And| not the least of his qualifications, he is thoroughly Alaskan. The appointment of Mr. Troy is undoubtedly popular. That fact is evidenced by the wide range of endorsements, for the great part unsolicited, that greeted his candidacy. No other Alaskan has been | put forward. The Senate of the United States| ought to, and surely, will confirm him without delay. STREAM OVERRATED AS A KER OF WEATHER. GULF responsible for the popularly attributed United States De- true course of this| The Gulf Stream is not changes in America’s climate to it, says the Weather Bureau partment of Agriculture. The “river of the sea” is shown in a chart recently pre- pared by the bureau’s marine division from its long-| time records of the temperature of North Atlantic waters. Although the current preserves its identity | in the Florida Straits, it merges more and more| with the vast North Atlantic circulation as it goes north, The contrast tween the high temperature| which the Gulf Stream carries up from below Cape Hatteras and the low temperatures coming in from the open lantic around the Grand Banks of Newfou land produces a rather sharp margin in current and temperature, the warmer water flow- ing northeast past the colder water that moves more sluggishly southwest. This contrast is most marked in winter. Only in winter is the Gulf Stream accompanied by temperatures far above those of the surrounding * waters, the map shows. The effects of the Gulf Stream on the weather are more pronounced in Europe than in the United States, although it does exert some influence along the southern part of its course. The Gulf Stream is not responsible for the predominance of mild winters along our eastern seaboard sincz about 1905. The climate there, the FPederal weathernmeh point “out, west than of what happens over the sea to the south and east. UNIQUE NEWSPAPER SUSPENDS. Seven years ago, David Lawrence, famous news- paper correspondent, founded “TLe United States and comprehensive record of the daily activities of the Government of the United States in all its branches, legislative, . executive and judicial, and of each of the governments of the forty-eight States.” The newspaper was unique in the field of Democral (ming and spirit of Mr. Roosevelt, lin league with a powerful few who enjoy special s.ulmu truth: “It is your problem no less than 2|1t is mine. Together, we cannot fail.” | Remembering these words, and comprehending ‘the previous repute of a small segment. {indomitably resilient in spirit. |by the cheerfully jocular way in which they were |short of the familiar cash was accepted as a jest is the result more| of what happens over the land to the mnorth and| Its purpose was “to present a complete | so-called . “circulation building” sensations. It had| 10 editorial” comment to make. It followed its declared intent solely and with a singlemindedness that never -faltered. Day by day t mined the highways and byways of governmental | Washington, as well as the governmental cemers! f the States, and its production of facts was enor- nous. No other publication of its time or any other like period ever presented such a mess of factual data to the public as it did. Its publica- tion was largely made possible through the generosity of certain sponsers. Hard times has hit it now, and it has been compelled to suspend publication at least for a while. It will be missed by many, particularly by its contemporaries in the news purveying field who found it always useful as a reference work. May its stay in the depression emergency wardroom be short! If President Roosevelt and Congress continue to crowd the Japs,off the front pages, they may have to resort to a declaration of war’to regain heir lost position. Beer will be obtamable for 7th. Attaday! the thirsty on April | Those pessimists who have been loudly pro- claiming the nation was hell-bent must be getting an awful shock these days. The President and the Peopie, (Cincinnati Enquirer.) President Roosevelt's radio address Sunday night was a memorable event, and one that justifies new hopes for a speedy recovery. For the first time in American history a President, sitting in the White House, spoke by radio and in the press to the whole people, in' complete candor and simplicity, of a grave national emergency, withholding nothing, pleadmg‘ for unanimous support. | Those who listened to the President’s earnest and clear exposition of the banking situation by | radio and then re-read his speech-in their news- papers to realize its full implications cannot ™ fail to be tremendously impressed by the quality of Most important of all, he took the common| citizen wholly into his confidence, let every man and woman know just what happened, why it hap- pengd, and what is being done about it. As never before, the American people can feel themselves to be genuine partners in a common enterprise. No longer need they wonder what is being done by a distant Government, behind closed doors and access to officialdom. Mr. Roosevelt has two rare and fortunate quali- ties that were especially notable Sunday evening. He has an uncanny facility for taking a complex | and tangled situation and making it clear to the lay mind. This quality he showed in his campaign| speeches, but in surveying the.banking situation’ lt‘ was emphasized more than ever. The other quallty is one of cordial trust in the people. He does not| fear to tell the people the truth. On the contrary,| he is staking his Administration on the conviction| that when the citizens understand the issues t.hey1 will back him to the utmost. Though he forget all else in the President's address, the citizen ought to have etched in his| {memory these final words of ringing hope and | their profound validity, the citizen can approach |the concrete problems of his own life with a new confidence, a new trust in those possessing power. He can once more assume the risks of business or the uncertainties of labor, realizing that his| fortunes are linked safely to those of a great nation, guided by a great leadership. So fortified, he can make an end of fear, and carry forward his appointed task with the self-reliance which- is America’s saving quality of character. “Together, we cannot fail.” Cheerful. (Boston News Bureau.) It was a handsome and on the whole a well deserved compliment which their new head of the Treasury paid the American people in general yes- terday. En masse their behavior largely redeemed Secretary Woodin declared he couldn’t ade- quately praise “the wonderful spirit shown by people in all parts of the country.” This he termed a “truly wonderful stimulant to myself and others working in this situation.” He went on to express his doubt that any other nation would have faced such a situation in the same spirit. Possibly some other peoples—the British- for example,—might not have allowed their previous morale to sag so low; but, when the pinch came, none could be more The quality of the reception which our popu- lation gave the adversities and the discomforts of the emergency experience is most typically attested endured. Being suddenly, sometimes ludicrously, and a challenge to ingenuity. The popular recitals of that experience are myriad. The calmness and patience with which the inci- dental tribulations have been met betoken of course a very distinct confidence that this cashless ordeal will be more than temporary. Also perhaps a quite general hope if not confidence that the ex- perience itself may perhaps mark a culmination of our grave general worries, as in the blowing over of a storm. But with that almost jovial acceptance of a situation may also be a deep-seated conviction as |to the urgeney of statutory remedy. There should {be no repetition of the experience. The emphasis upon curative legislation has been very greatly aug- ‘memed. Psychology has been exemplified in the past few days, just as also in the preceding past,—the one case a sequel to the ‘other. In this second case the many share; a relative few did so earlier. ” Before long it won't matter whether a foreign ‘liquor boat is 12 miles out or 12 yards; and the Coast Guard can go back to their time-honored | tasks.—(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

The Kaid does not know that Riccoli plans even more treachery—to mur- der the Kaid and make him- celf Sultan of the Sahara, The Citadel is a maze of intrigue, in the midst of which are Raisul, son of the Kaid, Jules and Pedro Maligni, financial managers of the Kaid, and their wives. E CHAPTER 13. INTO THE PAST Rarely has a more varied, in- congrauous and cosmopolitan cir- cle—and a family circle at that— sat in stranger surroundings and circumstances. Margaret looked long and thoughtfully at her husband, Jules Maligni; at Raisul, his cousin; at Raisul's father, her uncle by mar- riage, the Kaid Haroun Abd'allah Karim; at the Lady Zainub, his wife, the mother of Raisul; at the Lady El Isa Beth el Ain, sister of the Kaid, and her own mother-in- law; at Senor Pedro Miligni, her father-in-law; and, finally, at Sara, her cousin by daughter of the Lady Zainub’s fa- mous brother, 'Kaid Mahommed the French. Again Margaret the family circle, and felt very, {very far from her home at Yelver- bury, Kent, England.

The Kaid Haroun Abd'allah Ka-| rim lived and dressed and acted cestor of a thousand years ago, and ! surely this castle, or castellated rock, had not changed in a thou- sand years? L Marvelous to think that the Un- ion Jack floated over Gibraltar on- ly a couple of hundred miles away, and that so near were a British garrison, battleships, churches, clubs, messes, shops law and order. ‘Whether the thousand year ideas were extravagant or not, one cer- tainly traveled back more than 200 years in traveling that 244 miles. ‘This castle, this life, these peo- the castle, were all far more medi- eval than Tudor England, in out- look, in mode of life, in act and word and thought and deed. | The things her husband’s moth- er, Lady El Isa Beth el Ain had told her! Unbelievable things. Per- fectly incredible and perfectly true. Of how that fat woman Zainub, parently, she mow dwelt in per- fect amity—had done her best 'to| murder Jules, the Kaid's nephew,| now Margaret’s husband. Strange to reflect how, but for, that savage villainy, Jules would never have been sent to England, and Margaret herself would not| now be Mrs. Jules Maligni, seated there in that lovely artificial Moor- ish garden, beneath the African moon, contemplating this strange assembly of her relatives No, she would not have been Mrs. Jules Miligni.

But this was Jules’ own country. he kept telling herself. He could not go native, for the excellent reason that he was a native. Had she, then, married a Moor? And thereupon a horrible little from somewhere ‘at the back her mind, cooly remarked that hadn’t married a Moor so ch as a mongrel in whose veins n Moorish, English and Spanish lood—Spanish blood dilute, for Senor Pedro Maligni’'s mother had been of African extraction unspec- ified—Berber, Kabyle, Ouled-Nail, of t an unpleasant word. ; or, perhaps, Negress, again un- specified. Angrily Margaret replied to the horrible little voice, telling it to cease its beastly remarks, for she! was married to an English gen- tleman whom she had known ;from childhood, who had almost fgrown up in her father's house, and who had there spent his holi- days from prep school, from Eton and from Oxford, at all of which seats of learning he had been with her brother Jack. Of course it was only natural and—er—right that, back in Mor- occo, the land of his birth, he jshould wear native dress. . .. That word native stirred again. It had begun with their all {“dressing-up” for fun, and very good fun it had been. Margaret had thoroughly enjoyed putting on a complete set of Sara's lovely scented silken clothing and bar- (baric jewelry, and wished she could keep them to take home to wear {at fancy dress dances. But to wear them regularly just because they were Moorish clothes and she was in Morocco, was quite | ja different thing. She was an lEnghsh girl, and she would wear \English clothes wherever she {might be, and rétain English man- Iners and morals and customs and standards.
