MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS. e y entitled to the ispatches credited to his paper and also the GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA CIRCULATION THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION LINDY GOES TO ENGLAND Repofts persist that the Lindberghs are going to England as a precaution against repeated kidnap threats made against members of the family, the latest report said to have been made against Mrs.| Lindbergh If true, it is a pitiful spectacle that an American s0 universally loved as Col. Lindbergh has to seek| protection under another flag. Of course, that may | be but partially true. It is not at all unreasonable | to suppose that the authorities who have been guarding the Lindberghs are trying to be doubly | safe by getting the family away for a time from the scene of the great American tragedy which claimed the life of their first son and blighted their | own lives forever. When one reads of the latest kidnaping in the East it is not altogether hard to believe that there may be sinister forces which might strike at “Lindy” because of his prominence and his accessibility to money through his own and family connections. | Most Americans will hope that it is purely a| temporary move and that Lindbergh is not taking| up permanent residence across the water for protec-| tion. Our courage as a people has been greatly built | up by the excellent work carried on by the Federal forces through the “G-Men"” in their fight against| kidnapers and most of us have every confidence in| the Department of Justice to stamp out the vlciousi practice, as well as lesser evils with which we| were ridden for several years due to corruption | which Wwas bred in the big cities during the hey| day of Prohibition, stock market gambling and easy | money. That courage will not wane so long as the “G-Men"” service is encouraged and strengthened to a point where it can be looked upon as the equal of Scotland Yard or the Canadian Mounted in getting its man. Nothing so proved the impotency of local police enforcement in battling organized | crime as did the Lindbergh tragedy and the other | kidnaping cases which swept the country shortly afterward. The Lindberghs paid a terrible price to supply this country with that knowledge. We must continue to use it in making this country| safe not only for Col. Lindbergh and his family but for every individual and family who is deserving the protection of our flag. [ A HARD HURDLE TO CLEAR Back in Illinois some of the veteran Republicans are trying to kick up material to substantiate the dreams of their Eastern exponents that the farmers are turning away from Roosevelt and looking for something else—something, of course, that resembles a Republican, variety not particular so long as he can think up a few names for the Democrats. But the task is proving a hard one, harder than some of the boys have come to realize. For example, on a day when Eastern Republican headquarters was issuing press statements emphasiz- ing what it chose to term a swing away from the| New Deal, hogs were selling in Chicago at around $12, as against $8 the year before. Wheat was up around 96 cents in contrast with 40 cents last year and cattle were up to a high of $11.75, several dollars over the previous year, and butter and milk were soaring. One statistician who took the trouble to figure it out discovered that the cash income of | farmers this year was seven million dollars, a gmdual rise of 2 million a year since 1932. It may be that the farmers have forgotten that| 25-cent wheat of the Hoover “prosperity” days and | the hogs they couldn’t sell for love nor money, but| it's hard to believe. And the same holds true for every class of industry on the same premise. { The farmer, the original producer, has profited and every one along the line, thus directly effected, has done likewise. The farmer has come back into| the market for industrial products, and the extent of his purchases is readily apparent in the reported | increased sales of mail-order houses, in the resump- tion of activity by fagtories producting agricultural implements and in the sharply higher registration of new automobiles in the rural areas. Illinois and every other agricultural State will bel a tough hurdle for the Republicans so long as such| a situation prevails. One advantage of having a large family at| holiday time is the quick finish to turkey hash. | Barbara Hutton gets dropped from the New York social register but makes the first pages of most of the newspapers which seems to give Barbara the circulation, the public speculation and members | of New York's 400 conversation | “Spanish onion smuggled into United States,” says a headline.

Roosevelt at Atlanta. (New York World-Telegram.) It is interesting coincidence that Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his go-ahead message on the same day that the National Association of Manu- facturers cried “Cease and desist!” The two declara- tions fairly well lay the lines for the contest of 1936. The net effect of the fourteen points presented by the manufacturers is either to halt everything or do everything differently than it is being done. The tone of the document is dolorous. Jeremiah might have prepared it—or that other great prophet who predicted grass for the asphalt. The tone of the Roosevelt declaration is, on the other hand, buoyant, cheerful, full of zest of vie- tories accomplished and more victories to come. So it will be up to the reader and the voter about a year from now to pay his money and take his choice. And one thing is certain—he’ll pay his money in either event. It has often been said, before a salesman can sell other people be must first sell himself. A read- ing of the Atlanta speech gives the answer to Roosevelt, thor- oughly sold on Roosevelt. Not a note of doubt, not a flicker of defeatism, not a hair-shirt in his ward- robe. Instead, highly sustained confidence in what he has done, is doing and will do. The words of a man who believes in himself, and believes also that They may beat Roosevelt in 1936, but they'll never do it with pessimism. Dire predictions and tidings of disaster won't turn the trick. If the contest boils down to pointing with pride against viewing with alarm, optimism will win, All the world is waiting for the sunrise, and this nation particularly, after what it has gone through, isn’t scanning the dim horizon for more bad news. As a piece of argumentation the Atlanta speech was compact and powerful. It drew upon that most potent of material—your own memory. It recalled the “prosperity” ‘of that time to which so many nowadays, forgetting what that time brought forth, are inclined to turn with longing recollections— the “twenties.” 1 “Those are years to remember,” he said. “Those fool's paradise years before the crash came. In that orgy of ‘prosperity’ the poorest vied with the richest in throwing their earnings and savings into a cauldron of land and stock speculation. In that orgy of ‘prosperity’ slum conditions went unheeded, better education . was forgotten, usurious interest charges mounted, child labor continued, starvation wages were too often the rule instead of the ex- ception. Mammon ruled America.” After massing the picture that preceded the crash he came to the present, but not defensively; al- ways on the aggressive, with such human interest material as this: National surveys prove that the average of our citizenship lives today on what would be called by the medical fraternity a third class diet. If the country lived on a second class diet we would need to put many more acres than we use today back into the pro- duction of foodstuffs for domestic consump- tion. If the nation lived on a first class diet we would have to put more acres than we have ever cultivated into the production of an additional supply of things for Amer- icans to eat. Why, speaking in broad terms in follow- ing up this particular illustration, are we living on a third class diet? For the very simple reason that masses of the American people have 1ot got the purchasing power to eat more and better food. And this— When some of the people of a great and wealthy country are suffering from starva- tion an honest government has no choice. And this— I can realize that gentlemen in well- warmed and well-stocked clubs will dis- course on the expenses of government and the suffering that they are going through because the Government is spending money for work relief. I wish I could take some of these men out on the battle line of human necessity and show them the facts that we in the Government are facing. And the part which told how the bankers back in 1933, when everybody was yelling to the Gov- estimated for Roosevelt 55 to 70 billions as the debt load the nation could stand without serious danger to the national credit—the same bankers who are now crying bankruptcy at 30 billions. And then a conclusion such as this— But recovery means something more than getting the country back into the black. You and I do not want just to go back to the past. We want to face the future in the belief that human beings can enjoy more of the good things in life under better conditions tha® human beings ever enjoyed in the' past. | Yes, purely a§ & problem in practical campaign- ing, it's going be a tough job to go up against such buoyancy as that with a long face and a flock of figures. Business As Usual. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The woodchucks have taken to their holes; the land tortoises have dug in for the winter; the field mice have made warm burrows for themselves; the ants have sealed up their homes and are resting |from their labors. In a thousand cracks and | crevices the insects have found shelter. The trees have gone to sleep, not to wake until the warmth of April life bids them swell their buds and again to shake out their leaves. But man continues at his tasks. Yet even he survives the cold only by the addition of more clothing and by keeping his house warm. Still we are the most adaptable of all the animals. Our habitat is not limited as is that of the birds and the beasts. We make our homes from the frozen wastes of the Arctic to the torrid regions of the Equator. Everywhere we have been abl¢ to survive. However, civilized man has reached his greatest development in the temperate zone. Winter has been the great stimulator. It has forced him. to be provident, to lay up a store of food in the sum- mer to carry him over the cold and unproductive And more than that, it refreshes his body. newed vigor. When fierce and coid the North winds blow And all the earth is white with snow, Then faster does our red blood flow And then our cheeks the ruddier glow. ‘We meet the challenge of the cold With dauntless courage high and bold. The poet means to say that instead of digging in as do the woodchuck and the tortoise, we defy winter to do its worst and attend to those things We hang upon our doors the sign “Business as usual” HAPPY—— ——BIRTHDAY _—.—E The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follo:s- ing: DECEMBER 27 Denholm Neilson Christine Daniels Mrs. T. J. Jarvis Edna Saunders T. G. Moulton e ! From The Empire 20 YEARS AGO B | DECEMBER 27, 1935 The two valuable lead horses of, the four-horse team drawing the'A.] H. Humphries stage from town to the Perseverance Mine, were forced over the bank near the Ebner Cabin and killed by a 450-foot arop to the creek- bed below the road when an auto backed into the team and forced the two horses over the bank. The stage arrived at the stalled auto about 4:30 in the afternoon and stpoped about 12 feet behind it. Suddenly the auto began to back and the outside horse was forced over the bank so that it hung by its front feet on the road. The driver and pas- sengers endeavored to save it but at this peint the bank is perpendicular for 100 feet and it was found impos- sible. The traces were cut, allowing the animal to fall to the creek. Two 7f the passengers ran forward to warn the auto driver, who either did not hear them or was unable to stop, since he continued to back, forcing the other horse off the road and cver the bank. The lost team was valued at $1,000. Passengers were Howard Barner, Frank Fisher, Eli Vinhong and George Sogward. C. F. McNutt was driving the stage. Manager W. Grant Johnson, of the new Arctic Brotherhood building, an- nounced it would be ready for occu- pancy January 1. The building will be formally opened on New Year's Eve. Members of the Building Com- mission were Grover Withh, Fred R. Bradley, Tom Radonich, Clark Smith, and Harold Post. The following officers were in- stalled by the Juneau Masonic lodge: John Rustgard, Maurice Whittier, William Frye, Edward Beattie, John B. Stevens, George Getchell, Harry Fisher, Fred Hyder, Frank Koeper, Alvin Goldstein. An alarm of fire was rung in from box 4-2 early’ in the morning by a number of children who desired to see the auto make a run. Weather: Maximum, 31; minimum, 19, partly cloudy.
