Alaska was the first political subdivision in the United States in which the Democrats in con- | wvention instructed its delegates to vote for Franklin| D. Roosevelt.

Maine,] clear across the country, votes on September 10. ‘The entire country will watch the returns from these | two points for an indication of the drift of the, Roosevelt tide. It is true, of course, we have no contest in the Congressional election. Delegate Di- mond is unopposed for re-election. That, however,' does not minimize the issue that has been clearly drawn by the Republican national organization and the local G. O. P. The party's strategists have, | wisely or unwisely, selected the New Deal as the major, if not the sole campaign issue. dent Roosevelt has termed a “Square Deal,” Na- tional G. O. P. Chairman Fletcher has dubbed a “menace to the Nation,” and local Republicans have in turn reduced that to “rottennes sand bum man- agement now going on in Washington.” The Democrats of ine Territory have strongly endorsed the President’s program, and its candidates are in sympathy with the President's objectives and apppolie of his methods of attainment. They have confidence in his judgment and leadership. It may be said, of course, that President Roose- velt is not advancing the New Deal as a vehicle to draw partisan support. That is true. He went! out of his way to publicly praise Senator LaFollette | in Wisconsin the other day. But he did it because | the Wisconsin liberal has given the New Deal unswerving support in Congress. That is the major test, rather than the party label. And that test| ought to be applied here as well as in the States. | Do Alaskans believe with the Republican organi- mation's candidates that the New Deal is nothing | but “rottenness and bum management” in Washing- ton? If so, if the great emergency relief and recovery program of the Roosevelt Administration | which has extended into every part of Alaska is rotten and evil, the way to denounce is to vote for | the G. O. P. candidates who are assailing it. If they do not entertain any such sentiments, if they feel| that we have been benefitted by the New Deal and that under Mr. Roosevelt’s leadership we are moving ahead to a “more abundant life” as the President has often said, then they should vote for the Democratic Party's candidates who are pledged to support Mr. Roosevelt in.every possible way. GOOD RIDDANCE. The Administration has sent an Under Secretary What Presi- lof the accuracy of barometers. that 'a part in the program of ascent is to deny the very scientific purpose so strongly emphasized. Es- !fifteen 1a height of only about ten miles was attained. the quality of its officers. What might have been 'a tragedy comparable with the one which marked the end of the record-breaking ascent made by the Sowet balloonists last January will now stand as an lexciting attempt to wrest new knowledge from the ‘upper air. Never before was so lavishly equipped an expedi- ticn sent aloft. The gondola was a floating lab- joratory in which observations were made by auto- matic instrument-reading cameras. Cosmic rays were measured, samples of air were collected, the color (of the sky was gauged, temperatures and pressures were noted, wind velocities were determined, photo- graphs of the terrain below were made as a test It is a matter for 'deep regret that all these instruments, but one, were destroyed in the crash . y All voyagers into the stratosphere protest that record-breaking is far from their minds. Yet to deny the attaining of unprecedented heights plays pecially is this true of the venture now happily ended. The largest balloon ever constructed was designed not only to carry an unusually heavy freight of instruments, but to float up to a possible miles. For causes still to be established, What led these men to seal themselves in a metal sphere and rise to a region where no bird can live? Curiosity—the same curiosity that urged Columbus to sail toward the setting sun, Huyghens {to pump air out of a vessel, Franklin to fathom the mytesry of lightning, Faraday to spend long years in electrical experimenting, the Curies to crush a ton of pitchblende for the sake of a pinch of radium, and Morgan and his school to study 2,000,000 fruit flies in the hope of finding out why |we are like our parents and yet a little different. |They are all brothers—these explorers of earth and sky, of the ship and the laboratory. As Kepner, |Anderson and Stevens have proved, the satisfaction tof scientific curiosity still calls for the physical courage and the fiber that we associate with true im-gonauh i ! Summer Paradise.

He was received with enthusiasm at a meeting held in Juneau under the auspices of the Juneau Demo- cratic Club. ‘There was to be a mass meeting in the City Hall council chambers gates to a non-partisan convention |called by the Mayors of different towns of Southeast Alaska to nom- inate candidates for the Alaska Legislature.

The test consisted of piling 35341 pounds of dead weiyhit on a panel 10 feet 6 inches by 21 feet. Arch- itect Winsted said the span would easily bear at least 500 pounds per square foot. Gowey Shepard arrived in Ju- neau from the Kensington mine where he had been employed for some time, and was to leave for the South on the Admiral Samp- son to matriculate at Leland Stan- for University. He had se- cured his high school at Juneau and Seattle, graduating from Queen Anne High School in the latter city in 1913. Since his graduation he had been employed by the Alaska Gastineau Minin Company at their Kensington prop- erty. Weather for the previous day was cloudy with rain.

The United States has no passport arrangement with Russia, therefore it requires a diplomatic action to rid the country of these unwelcome vistiors. Probably most of these alien agitators are in the country for no good purpose. Their one idea is to stir up unrest. It is a noticeable fact that prac- tically none of the recent labor troubles originated locally—most of them were begun by strangers who had their residence elsewhere; for example, Harry Bridges, San Francisco strike leader, is an Aus- tralian. It is also widely known that this is but one of many such instances. That labor is benefitted by the activities of these foreign agitators is far from the truth. The effort to call a general strike in San Francisco hurt union labor's cause. Nor do the agitators have labor's interests in mind in their efforts. Their purpose is to destroy the government and set up in its stead some | form of Communistic experiment. AIR MAIL INVESTIGATION. No announcement for a long time has been of #0 much interest, and of more importance, to _Alaskans than that just made from Washington | of a survey of Alaska with respect to the feasibility | of establishing an air mail route between Puget! Sound and the Territory. The study, it was of- ficially said, will be made by Mr. Harllee Branch, Second Assistant Postmaster General who will sail from Seattle in about 10 days for the north. The movement for air mail between here and Seattle was iaunched by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce several years agd. It was the first to recognize the need for it and the benefits to be derived from such a service. It received the support ofluotherdmlhrorgmwmtrommmy other sources. Delegate Dimond has been keenly alive to the situation and probably has done more work than any other individual to induce the Post maximum daily |sixties. Soft breezes like the mild Savannahs of the south are wafted here from the warm air currents that acompany the Japan ocean current—but they are {delightfully refreshing. For months flowers bloom, crops flourish and Alaska enjoys a season of bloom and vernal condition like that of Eden yet does not suffer from the heat. Visitors come rejoicing they have escaped the great bake oven of the central continent. As time goes on millions will learn of the superior summer {here and a great migration annually will take place jamong all who can negotiate the trip, to spend the summers in Alaska. Time will see a great tourist travel set this way by airplane as well as ship. Climate is the igreatest lasting and inexhaustible asset Alaska has. It will be capitalized in time and return millions |of dollars annually to this Territory. All who rise to the appreciation of the enjoyable and ineffable beauty of the Alaskan summers will never cease to. cherish them. Everyone who knows of them should preach the gospel of the superior Alaska summer and cast far and wide the story of the Alaska summer paradise. temperatures are not above the Nudists argue that they think only pure and |beautiful thoughts.
