In the death of Dr. Edward A. Rich, Tacoma physician, the other day, Juneau lost a valued and ty {dear friend. For many years he had maintained intimate connection with the community through a number of its residents. He visited here many times, cruising Southeast Alaskan waters frequently in the summer months. He was one of the men who initiated the Capital-to-Capital Yacht Race and entered his own vessel in that event each time it was run. He worked hard, with others, to keep it alive and making one of the great sporting classics of the North Pacific Ocean, and none more keenly regretted its suspension.

No new source of taxation from which revenue in any appreciable amount will accrue is in sight. There is but one sound way to meet the financial situation in which the Territory finds itself.

In Ricolli's com- mand is Margaret Maligni’s childhood sweetheart, Otho Belleme; in the Citadel is Mar- garet with her husband, Jules. The Kaid receives an emissary, cstensibly from Germany, aund comes to an agreemenit with him. Chapter 17 THE GREEDY KAID “Very well,” observed the Kaid, at the conclusion of the interview. ‘All is now clear as the limpid waters of the rivers of Paradise, and we understand each other, as |a pious, learned, and tflie believer understandeth the words of the Book. “Two hundred and fifty thou- sand marks in gold; four mountain guns, such as take to pieces to be carried on the backs of mules; am- munition; and a good and faithful man to instruct my gunners in the use and care of such guns., “And you yourself to remain in my country until full and complete delivery of all things agreed upon,” added the Kaid. Sitting cross-legged upon his cushion, the big stranger bowed low from the waist, his head almost touching his feet. “It is agreed,” he said, and on that happy note the interview con- cluded. “What think you of him, oh Rai- sul, my son?” inquired the Kaid, when the stranger had been con- ducted from the council-chamber to the dungeon-like guest-room which had been allotted to him, own tongue?” “I spoke to him in English,” re- plied Raisul. “Spoke suddenly, as you observed, and bade him reply instantly in that tongue. He did so, and with a marked German ac- cent. Personally, I never wrust any man, oh my father, but I believe he is a German and what he pro- fesses to be. I say keep him in this country and let him send what messages and messengers he will. Messengers chosen by you, of course.” “And you, my friend? Speak your mind fully and frankly,” said the Kaid, turning to the Senor Pedro Maligni seated next to and slight- ly below him. “Undoubtedly he is our German, and undoubtedly the geénuine agent,” was the prompt reply. “In- valuable. My friend the German consul at Tangier sent me a pho- tograph of the fellow, and said, in the covering letter, that his in- formation from the Friedrichstrasse was that he had started. That would about tally with his afriving now. “And then, of course, he has the password,” he continued, “and that son but you, the consul and my- self. Oh, yes, he's genuine all right dence in him.” “Let me see the picture again,” said the Kaid Abd'allah Karim. “Yes, that is undoubtedly the same man,” he continued, after a careful study of a portrait, bearing the name and address of the Ger- man photographer, which Senor Pedro Maligni produced from the leather case which he always car- ried about his person. “He asked for nothing for him- celf—which is a little suspicious,” observed the Kaid, whose natural habit it was to judge others by himself. “No need to do so” the Senor assured him. “He'll get something for himself, all right.” “Bribes, commission, pickings, do you mean?” er of the .past three years, is declared in a state- @ German has volunteered to fight in the stead of % o v |President Hindenburg in a political dispute and ment just issued by R.

The statement, in part, was as follows: The credit of the commercial concern is the backbone of the credit of the country. The bank performs a contributory service with facilitates that commercial credit me- chanism. So the crux of the present situa- tion lies in the soundness of commercial credit. . During the past two years many com- ments have been made regarding the number of commercial failures in the United States, which in 1932 reached a record for all time. Little or no emphasis has been given to the striking feature of these figures, whicn is the most reassuring fact available at the present time—that is, that 98% of all the commercial concerns in the United States and in the Dominion of Canada met their obligations dollar for dollar in the years 1931 and 1932 The mercantile organizations of the Unit- ed States, large and small, have withstood the most severe shock in modern history. While they have suffered and in the aggre- gate have lost heavily, they have come through and as a whole are on a sound champagne and a notable parade of good manners. The preservation of the Irish Code and the tradition of pistols for two and brandy for one at dawn should be as much the task of the social historian as preserving the steps of the pavane, since one is Just about-as frequent and bloody as the other. Party Lines Vanish. (New York Times.) Democrats in the Seventy-third Congress are all dressed up with a majority of 195 in the House and a majority of 22 in the Senate—but nowhere to go. Of what earthly use are towering majorities if there is no minority to tower over? What possible sat- isfaction can there be in mighty Democratic aval- anches poised to crush and rend and sweep all obstacles out of the way if the Republicans spring forward as one man, not to stand in the way but to cooperate? It is an old rule that swollen party majorities are by no means an unmixed blessing to the party in power. The lack of an effective Opposition is soon supplied by the rise of factions within the dominant party. Some day, in all probability, the old rule will begin to operate for the Roosevelt Adminstration. But for some time to come it is plain that we shall have no party system at all in Washington. We are in a period of National Con- centration, of what the French call a union sacree. A little of the Mussolini idea of responsible government is at times not a bad thing even for the great Republic of the West—(Boston Tran- script.) Bewildered Congress at last has a guide.
