As governments tumble and fall in European coun- tries, the stability of our own form of democratic government, though sometimes subject to volumes of criticism, is again clearly reflected. Across the Atlantic in the past few three cabinets have resigned. First the Greece high command turned in its portfolios as a military group decided to call its exiled king back from exile. Albania, which has always had its domestic troubles, has switched cab- inets over night and now Austria is in another tur- moil as its Chancellor and cabinet step down and out. Although in the latter instance Chancellor Kurt Schusschnigg apparently will survive political demise and head another cabinet group. These sud- den cabinet switches means .much the same in| those countries as does the switch in this country from one political party to another. The big dif- ference, of course, is that here we take our timej to do it and the entire vote of the people is essen- tial. There may be shortcomings to our scheme of things, but surely they are overshadawed by the success we have attained through the years without| internal strife. We make loud noises around elec- tion time, but we go forward on a sound plane. Our military has an established place; our purges! come only through the ballot box, and he who seeks' national position must carry the mandate of the' people. It is not as fast as the overnight switches ! they are accustomed to across the water, but its ef- fectiveness has been demonstrated over some 158 years. An example of our scheme of doing things in a fair and impartial manner is seen here this week as the Grand Jury convenes at the call of the Court. No military or political contrelled clique lines any one up against the wall on skimpy evidence with our form of procedure. The accused are adjudgedi only by a group of like citizens. And these are drawn | without fear or favor. And their decision is not final. | They judge only on whether there is evidence to warrant a trial. Still another group of similarly| drawn jurors must make the final decision after| hearing the evidence again from both sides and guided only by the laws of the country that the ma-; jority of the voters of the nation have sanctioned. Merits of such a system stand out like sentinels when one reads of the turbulent conditions that emanate from foreign countries from time to time. Matanuska Zndorsements. (Anchorage Times.) With the announcement the last contingent of transient workers will leave Palmer by October 25, and construction of all buildings for housing colon- ists and for community service are nearing comple- tion, the volley of criticism of the -construction program fades. The barrage of adverse comment on construction possibilities which had Congress almost panicky and a nervous and poorly informed public in the States jittery early in the summer has ceased. A few spasmodic criticisms now and then flare across the horizon, but on the whole calm has suc-l ceeded the storm. Ever since Lieut. Col. L. P. Hunt was delegated with authority and took charge, action has been the order at Palmer and vicinity. The Colonel and his assistants have done splen- did team work. They deserve to be heartily com- mended. The colonists and their livestock will be housed and the community center will be functioning with| the ease of a Swiss watch by the time winter really sets in. | The spirit of the colonists is splendid. The mis-| fits have been eliminated. Some thirty families of | The | estimate of | that class fortunately have been eliminated. colony will be built up to the original 200 families by another season. Under the able managment of that understand: ing Alaskan, Don L. Irwin, the future of the colon: ists is entrusted to safe hands. The procession of visitors which have come to view the valley and witnessed the progress of the construction program have contained few if any who went away really condemning the project. The latter part of the season in particular, when the region has been in its productive stage, has seen practically all comers converted to the belief the area is one of the most prolific and charming they| have ever witnessed. { The colony is now well grounded. Uncle Sam has not entered upon this undertaking to go half way nor to back out. The colony will be seen throv-h' to the finish. Back of the whole is a deeper purpose than e mere making of a home for a few needy from poiv- erty-stricken areas. The rounding out of an empire and the inaug- uration of a comprehensive plan to make the people of the realm self-supporting in face of any and all contingencies has motivated the high direction at Washington. By that token and by the good works and the faith of the people who have come and are staying - with the enterprise and devoting the best years of their lives to it the epic-marking under- taking will succeed.

This ic the second of three stories on the fistic career of Jc- Leuis and the future he 2.0es. By CHARLES NORMAN NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—From a cctton-picker’s cabin in Alabama tc a palatial home in Chicago, via the prize ring, epitcmizes the spectacular career of Joe Louis, the Midwest Menace to Champ- ion James J. Braddock’s crown. His short life—he is only 21—has been full of shortcuts to the pin- nacles, and even his name has felt this influence. Born Joseph Louis Barrow, May 13, 1914, at Lafayette, Ala., the sev- enth son of Munn and Lily Barrow. the Brown Belter dropped the family name after his first fight and short- cned Joseph to Joe. His father died when he was two years old. His mother married again and moved to Detroit. There young Joe was reared. At 12, to help stock a sparse fam- ily larder, he went to work after school hours as iceman’s helper at $1 a week. Nine years later, for less than 12 minutes work—not count- ing training—he earned $250,000 by pulverizing Max Baer, once hailed 8s a “man killer” and once the heavyweight champion of the world. Made a Sorry Start While attending trade school, he began to frequent a gymnasium where friends of his were in train- Ing for amateur bouts. The lure of leather proved too strong, and soon, at 18, Joe Louis—still Joseph Louis Barrow—pulled on the gloves in an amateur tourney. tune. They are John Roxborough and Julian Black, the former a Detroit attorney, and the latter a Chica- goan. To guarantee results, they hired Jack Blackburn, famous Ne- gro fighter of another day, as pugil- istic mentor. On July 4, 1934, Joe Louis turned | professional. { At first he was a speck in the | pugilistic heavens, seeking its proper orbit, then, as victory followed vic- |tory, a dark cloud looming ever larger on the horizon. By the time it caught up with Primo Carnera and ;Max Baer, the cloud had become a tornado, and the swish and roar of its devastating flight was heard ‘round the world. Twenty-one Kayoes Up to and including the quietus put on Madcap Max, Joe has taken on 25 ring warriors, knocking out 21, beating the other four by decisions. Compared with the loquacity of lother fighters, Louis is as still as |the tomb. “He don't say nothin'” | and he means it. Occasionally, on the |eve of a fight, in superb condition | as he awaits the gong, he may name the round. Giving or taking punches, |his face is expressionless save for |the slits of his eyes narrowing on their prey. But there is one person in the {world who knows him otherwise. | She was Marva Trotter, 19-year-old | Chicagoan. He married her two hours before he met Baer in the Yankee Stadium. He must have talked, like |other prospective Benedicts. | NINETEEN FIRE T ON WILLOUGHBY AVENUE e e S PSS flw HOME \ EeEs SAUER KRAUT Jomotow . ...95¢ By TOMATOES SRR, pound (.. .. ...& 8. ,.
