Dimond, who has made good in a big way. On the same date, a special Cordova dispatch appearing in the Valdez Miner, quoted Harry G. Steel, Editor and Publisher of the Cordova paper as saying to a representative of the Miner I believe that Alaska is fortunate during the present critical period in having as its representative at the National capital a man of the capacity and resourcefulness of An- self has said so.

THREE MORE SHOPPING DAYS. There are but three more shopping days beioreI Chr} week, chasing they had planned to do early this week. With temperatures ranging well below zero, coldest December weather was experienced in this city and colder than had been known for almost 16 years. It is not a cause for wonder that buyers, pa: ticularly women, hesitated about venturing out. 3ut shopping has to be done. We not delay longer no matter what the weather Merchandising facilities can go so far and no fariaer. If we put off our buying longer we are ceriain to be disappointed, because overworked clerks mas da is. The too, have to prepare for their observances.

But even Due to unseasonable weather all this| shoppers have been unable to do the pur-| the | time were available. Then, too, we ought |if more |to have some thought of the clerks and merchants. Christmas one that they will be too tired to enjoy. Regardless of the weather, let's start on that shopping tour right now and get it over with before Saturday night. | ARM PRICES AND POWER. INCREA IN F PURCHASING The prices and purchasing power of farm products increased in the second week in November, about the time when the abortive farm strnkes were disturbing the Middle Western States, the Bureau “lof Agricultural Economics of the Department of ’Aan(nlture reveals. | Preliminary estimates of farm prices on Novem- [brr 15 averaged 71 per cent of pre-war, compared |to 70 per cent for the preceding week, 49 per cent in February and 54 per cent one year ago. Prices that farmers paid for what they bought continued stable, the Bureau reported. Reports of prices paid | as of November 15 disclosed no significant changes from :pl ices for the previous week, and averaged 117 per | cent of pre-war prices as compared with 101 of | February and 104 per cent of a year ago. The |index of purchasing power of farm products in- ‘crensed from 60 to 61 per cent for the week. This is @ 24 per cent increase from the low level of the |year and is 17 per cent higher than at this ume] | last year. Down in Los Angeles, applicants for liquor vend- ing licenses are reported to have whispered their | requests. And we suppose their customers will want the shades drawn before the may purchases. Thus does a 13-year-old habit show its influence. | Blesecar ) o ola A wise man is he who puts into the hands of boys and girls many and good books of biography. | For, in this way, our future leaders will grow to appreciate the world’s yesterdays, live soberly and wholesomely today, and acquire for themselves fmu- tude and understanding and high devotion for to- | | morrow’s exacting tasks. | The G. 0. P. Attack. (New York World-Telegram.) If there is anything the Roosevelt Administration needs it is intelligent criticism. The President him- The Republican campaign pamphlet, entitled “Tories, Chiselers, Dead Cats, Witch Doctors, Bank | Wreckers, Traitors,” lacks conviction. It hides be- ihind criticisms of the Administration by certain | Democratic newspapers. The glory of the New Deal is in the fact that it is a series of experiments in co-operative climbing | out of the deep hole we dug for ourselves in the ‘twenties. But an experiment to get any- where must be guided by intelligent criticism. The | cunous—and distressing—thing is that about the only | |creative criticism of the New Deal has come from the New Dealers themselves. President Roosevelt in play after play outsmarts the other team. | That is all very fine for the President. But, lafter ‘all, no one leader or group should have a 1Lopynghl on cleverness. Byt long experience we have |learned that two parties are better than one. Out ! |of the conflict ‘of half-truths, truth emerges. Unfortunately, the Republican party seems to |have nothing to offer. The Administration’s mon- ‘opoly of ideas comes from the other fellow's default. So long as the Grand Old Party has nothing |to offer but a return to the old bankruptcy, it may as well save its pamphlet printing bills. Be- cause the public is determined to have a New Deal of some kind. The public may not be 100 per cent the minority of citizens who are dissatisfied with the Roosevelt results are asking, what is the alter- native? The G. O. P. has no alternative.
