ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION NEW COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH. Dr. W. W. Council, who will take office as Territorial Commissioner of Health on July 1, through appointment by Gov. John W. Troy, is eminently qualified for the duties of that office. Professionally, he is one of the leaders of the Territory, having been one of the outstanding members of the medical fraternity in the Territory for many years. His interest in that work is of long-standing and as abiding it is deep. His long residence in the Territory has given him a familiarity with conditions and people that is invaluable to him as head of Alaska’s health de-| partment. The Empire is confident he will render splendid and valuable services to the public as Commissioner. The retiring Commissioner, Dr. H. C. DeVighne, has given such service throughout his long tenure— 12 years. The salary attached to the office is nominal—and does not in any way compensate him, any more than it will Dr. Council, for the time and effort he has expended. Alaska owes him a debt of gratitude for his long and faithful service in safeguarding the public health. Many will regret that it is ending, and there is real satisfaction in the fact that Dr. Council will fill the office held by him so worthily, and with such distinction. | PUTTING THE MACHINERY TO WORK. The Administration has completed the first sec- tion of its program to restore prosperity to the nation. That consisted of the enactient of. legisla- tion, generally designated as President Roosevelt's emergency program, to provide machinery to put men and women back to work; to revive the agricultural industry; and to make it possible for industries to resume active operation. Now comes the second phase. That is to put the machines created by Congress to work. To what extent they will successfully function time alone will tell. Gen. Hugh Johnson as Director of Industrial Control will steer the machine for indus- trial recovery. Secretary Henry A. Wallace of the Department of Agriculture is head of the farm recovery machine. Under them will be various sub- chiefs. As he departed last week on his well- earned two-weeks vacation, President Roosevelt gave orders for them to move forward in their attack on depression. In this battle, in order to be suc- cessful, they will need more than the applause of the natioy, they must have its sympathetic co- operation. The National Industrial Recovery Act, the ma- chine under the control of Gon. Johnson, seeks to increase the purchasing power of American work- ers through shortened hours of labor at a living wage. It provides, as the price permitting employ- ers to stabilize their industries through trade agree- ments, that labor shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively, and that, whether it takes advantage of this right or not, it shall be paid a decent living wage for a work week short enough to give everyone a chance at a job. It proposed for the worker in the cotton mill, the shoe factory, the steel mill, the cannery, exactly what the farm bill is to do for the farmer—in fact, the farm act and the industrial recovery law are considered by the Administration as twin halves of a complete program for bringing back good times. The farm acts will help the farmer by raising food prices. The industrial worker must, therefore, have more money with which to pay the increased price for food. The added money the industrial worker pays for food increases the farmer's ability to buy factory products and secures for the urban worker his job. To give the impetus to the machines, the public works section of the National Industrial Recovery Act is designed. Three and one-half billions of dollars have been set up by Congress for, that important task. This has been characterized as the priming for the pump of the nation's industry. It will start the wheels to turning, put hundreds of thousands of men to work on public projects, give additional hundreds of thousands of workers tain policies that had gained for him the confiderice of the entire nation was at stdke. The President was directly challenged by the Senate which was undoubtedly badly frightened by the lobby repre- senting the veterans at Washington. He met that challenge with firmness, without any sign of yield- ing. And his victory is complete. As a result of it he stands before the country stronger than before the “revolt” that was calmed by the quiet determina- tion of the man in the White House. The upsetting of the revised veterans’ program would have struck at the very roots of Mr. Roose- velt's great reform. Had the increased appropria- tion, $176,000,000, been put through and the bars again thrown down, as the President pointed out, effective balancing of the National budget would have required another tax program over and above the taxes already levied by the special session to take care of some of the extraordinary expenditures demanded to carry out the Administration’s emer- gency program designed to prime the country’s economic and industrial pump. The balancing of the budget had already been accepted by the publie as an accomplished fact. It was regarded as proof of the Government's ability and willingness: to control the financial situation. = And ‘it ‘was this |confidence that justified and sustained the entire program of recovery. That program includes great sums of money for public works; controlled infla- tion; partnership in industry; rejuvenation of the agricultural industry. Had Mr. Roosevelt weak- ened, or been defeated by the Senate, confidence in his ability to carry forward his great program would have been seriously dimmed if not wiped out entirely. The decisive manner in which he met the challenge and for the second time emerged with victory over the veterans' lobby adds to his prestige and deepens the confidence of the whole nation in his leadership. Half-Way Back. (New York World-Telegram.) Professor Raymond Moley, Assistant Secrefary of State, Presidential adviser and the Brain Trust's No. 1 man, in a recent article sketches what he say is President Roosevelt’s “major policy,” a back-to-the- land movement “that will work.” It is the President’s conscious purpose, we learn,; to evolve a new type of American life that is neither urban nor rural but a mixture of each. “Hitherto,” Mr. Roosevelt has said, “we have spoken of two types of living and only two—urban and rural. It believe we ca look forward to three rather than two types in the future, for there is a definite place for an intermediate type between the urban and the rural, namely, a rural industrial group.” Whether this is the President's major policy or not, it is an important one. Cities are too big, too congested, to be happy abodes. The country offers newcomers little more than bare subsistence. In be- tween lie security and contentment. If industry moves its plants toward the country, then workers can move from their tenements and cluster their homes on small farm plots about the factories. They can then supplement wages with' home grown garden truck and stock. The haunting dread of hunger will disappear; a layoff will lose part of its tragedy. Many of the Rooseveltian policies fit this design. Farm and mortgage relief, forestation, Muscle Shoals and other monuments to cheap electricity will facili- tate the movement half-way back to the land. If industry control and public works can be planned with this same purpose in view they will mean more than emergency lifelines to the jobless. An American’s Creed. (Atlanta Journal) I believe in the United States of America. I believe in the people of the United States of America. I believe that somewhere the sun is shining. I believe that in the long run, fair weather over- balances the bad, that the expression “Good old days” is relative and that everything comes out all right in the end. I believe a little optimism never hurt anybody land can be taken straight. I believe in the capacity of the American indus- trial leaders and in the common sense of the American working man. I believe that Uncle Sam is still at the old stand with a high heart and a clear head, and I do not believe he is in danger of losing his pants, vest or shirt. I believe there are some falr to middling brains outside of the Soviet Government. - 1 believe American railroads are worth consid- erably more than a dime a dozen. I believe the United States Steel Corporation the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the General Electric Corporation and other big inrustrial institutions will stay in business and that none of them is in any danger of having to take on a side line of lead pencils or apples. I believe that what the country needs more than anything else is restoration of the ducking stool for professional pessimists, squawkers, calamity howlers and confirmed grouches. I believe in the ability, instinct, capacity and power of the average American to fight his way out of any difficulty, to scale any reasonable heights, to make the final payments on the auto- mobile, to save something and to look adversity in the face. I believe the American people will continue to own and operate automobiles, and that there is not a Chinaman’s chance that conditions will arise which will make them decide it is a good idea to go back to the bicycle and the buggy. 1 believe the old-fashioned washtub has gone for good and that’ anybody who thinks the Ameri- can wife is going back to the old days of drudgery and inconvenience s two-third cuckoo and one-third Army mule. be the American standgrd, but that even if we miss one or two it won't hurt us. I believe in common sense and natural vision jobs in furnishing them with materials and supplies|as opposed to the “fidgets” and the use of smoked and equipment. By the time this money has been gl expended, or within the next two years, it is the belief of the Administration, and that belief has asses when anything goes wrong. I believe in the silver lining, the rainbow after the storm, the plunge through center, the in- fallibility ' of the slogan, “Never lead with your been accepted by most of the industrial leaders of | yin» and the potency of the cries “Block that the country, that the new system will be so firmly |yick1” and “Hold 'em, line!” established that no further artificial stimulus will be necessary.

It was Father Robart, of course.{ He did not see me, and | remem bered what Lorn had safd and did not intercept him as I longed to do. He was walking swiftly, silently. his head bent and his red beard flaming. Afterwards I tried to think whether he'd carried anything in his hands, but I could not be syre. Then he slipped around the cor. ridor of the intersecting passage which led to his own room, and 1 emerged, Y There had been something ter® ribly furtive about him. I wished Lorn had been with me and realized suddenly that here was what amounted to convincing evidenee against the priest. Lorn arrived perhaps two hours later, and I told him of the con: | vincing evidence against the priest. |His dark eyes brightened a little, but otherwise he was not much af- fected. ‘470U think I'm slow and too cautious,” he finally said. “Well, that's true; but I'm inclined to think my mistakes would hurt you more than anyone else.” i “I'm not worrying about myself, but I don’t want that devil to get his hands on Miss Tally!” Lorn’s eyebrows went up a little: “He won't,” he sald quietly. “Im- mediately after dinner we'll ha Miss Tally go to her room, lock door, and one of us can guard her door while the other goes to the police. Does that suit you?” “Yes,” I said, not liking the fm- pression he gave of Indulging a childish notion of my own., “I'll watch ber door,” I added stub- bornly. “That's good,” sald Lorn dryly. “Then I'd better inform the police. Let me see—just what shall I tell them? That Father Robart arranged a false alibi; that you saw him leav- ing Miss Tally's room surreptl- tiously—and that you are con- vinced, in spite of his papers and clalms being under investigation by the police, that he is not what he seems, belng, in fact, no priest at all.” X ‘Thus it was something of a shock when the priest did not appear at dinner. Whe. we discovered that hg was not in the lounge, not inhis own room, not anywhere about the hotel. With 8.e safe in her room and promising to remain there we wenf together to the courtyard and told the police stationed there. E. J. CUNNINGHAM OF SEATTLE STOPS OFF HERE ON BUSINESS E. J.
