Republicans of Gastineau Channel, young and old, gathered at the shrine of Abraham Lincoln, as well they should, Wednesday night of this week, and eulo- gized that great man in glowing and nppmprmbe} terms. It was a fine gathering of good looking men and } women. Typical, clean cut Alaskans; resembling so | closely their neighbors of other political faith that a stranger would have been unable to detect the differ- ence, had he not known it was a Republican field day. And, true to their land and themselves, the tone of the great common purpose of all Alaskans—a better, and greater Alaska—was nol missing. The able ad- dresses that waxed warm of political favor carried in the inner recesses that magic message, so soul-stirring to those of us in the North, that Alaska must go for- ward to a greater and better day musician, ! In the words of the| the theme was not entirely lost, but the tune, swayed by political discord and loss of political prestige, was noticeably off ki when the bandsmen play { as so often is the Cfls(“' without leadership. It was a glorious tribute to a great man, but some {about office holders. {are to be no office holders under the Republicans, President he put into effect legislation to meet what he considered and what undoubtedly were the trying issues of his time. As a result seven acts passed by Congress during his administration were later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Other out- standing Republican Presidents have likewise found y to meet issues as they arose. Under the ible Theodore Roosevelt seven acts of his congress were later declared unconstitutional and dur- ing President Grant’s two terms 10 acts were later thrown out by the Supreme Court. Again, “keeping the record straight,” 146 years of the existence of this country the Su- preme Court has declared 67 acts passed by Congress as unconstitutional. Forty-two of these laws were passed under Republican administrations, and only 20 under the Democrats up until September, 1935. Four were passed by Republican Senate and Demo- cratic houses, and one of the first Congresses whwh‘ was not non-partisan. “The Record,” allowing an ad- ditional reversal (the AAA), still stands, showing the | Democrats with less than 30 per cent of the 68 re- versals and the Republicans slightly less than 62 per cent. Apparently the Constitution has been much \ safer in the hands of the Democrats than in those of ibout it! A great deal was made at the Lincoln Day banquet “Feeding at the public trough,” we believe, were the trite old words that have their the Republic. Are we to assume that there would power? Will the record of Mr. Hoover as Secretary of Commerce bear analysis as the man who gave no jobs? Was there ever in the history of the nation any better example of centralization of government and the attachmert of humans to the public payroll with the vast expenditure of public moneys? If there | why ‘) the scramble for Republican nominations? Just great | hearted public citizens with only the good of the; masses in mind. No smirch of special privilege on the Republican banner in '36; at least they hope that it may have been forgotten in the last three years. It is a vain hope. The American people will not soon | forget the Teapot Dome, the millions that were givenl Charley Dawes for his Chicago bank, the Fall-Doheney odor, the general Hoover debacle and Andy Mellon and his income tax refunds to the right people. But let us not get too personal, one can't blame the Juneau Re- publicans for that. Where there is no light it is diffi- cult to see. For those accustomed to darkness, it is| hard to behold the true picture under brilliant brightness of the all encompassing Democratic lamps. BELOVED IN LIFE; BEREAVED AT of the misguided utterances would have grated hard on the nerves of that man of the people, Abraham | Lincoln, who believed in government for the people and by the people. Honest Abe, the rail splitter, we | suspect, might have been a little chary about being placed in the same category with rich Liberty Leaguer | Al Smith. But it was to Al that Gastineau Channel | Republicans gave the bow, so, by the same token, it | possibly because of her long residence in Juneau, the and Douglas firemen were present in is to the words of Al we must stick hint correctly. His most famous utterance was, keep the record straight.” Fair let us the record straight. o BLN e So let us quote | “Let’s enough, keep The young Republicans, one speakers of the occasion declared, are on the marct It might be suggested the Grand Old,Party was on the | march in 29, '30 and '31—leading the American people right toward the bread line under the leadership of that once labelled statesman, Herbert Hoover. Only the courage and able leadership of a sound Democratic administration of the people kept that march tfrom ending in open revolution. The scars are beginning to heal under the guidance of a kindly government; the baffled, disorganized raiders of '29, again sensing the chance for political gain, move back into the picture, like the scavengers at the fallen foe, hoping for the kill. Another earnest but mis-mnrormed speaker deplored conditions in the Territory under the Democratic Ad- ministration and demanded, what have they done? ‘The complete story is too long to give, but a few of the highlights may aid in answering his question. A total of $6,750,000 was poured into Alaska under the Democratic administration up to the first of the year under the emergency measures to help the Territory on the same b that the states are being rehabili- tated. This made possible, most of us know, street and other improvements in the immediate Juneau vicin- ity, not to mention a fine steel bridge over Gastineau Channel connecting Juneau and Douglas; it meant new water systems, civic improvements, hydro-electric plants, new buildings and a multitude of other things for Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Skagway, Sew- ard, Anchorage, Fairbanks and other points. Under the Democratic money policy, the price of gold went to $35 per ounce and nearly $16,000,000 was shipped out of the Territory of Alaska during the year 1935, some $6,000.000 more than the 1933 output. Mining has been accelerated as never before in its history in the north. Income taxes have shown big gains, and the reason can be found in the reported vast increase in business by the steamship companies, the Alaska Rail- road and every business house in Alaska. Aggregate resources of all banks in the Territory were $2,000,000 more at the end of 1935 than they were two years ago. Is that a criterion that things are going to pot under the Democrats? And, we could go on ad infinitum. Another speaker referred to the British Columbia coal being given out on relief orders. Let us not forget that now we are dealing with the record, even as the Mr. Smith, the Republican pal. The record shows that all dealers must sign an affidavit that the coal they handle is from the United States and not a foreign country. No violations have thus far been recorded. e e And our Republican friends did not overlook the Constitution in their oratorical tribute to Abraham Lincoln. In fact, there was rather a broad hint that the Republican party and the Liberty League had clear (kan Wednesday evening, Juneau has been welghed’ of the most able JOURNEY’S END. | Since the death of Mrs. B.

A profound and tender sympathy goes out to those who survive her, her husband, her daughter | |and son-in-law, her three grand-children. Somehow, circumstance of her death away from her home seems | | especially poignant. | In many kindly and little-known acts of charity and | good-will, Mrs. Behrends’ goodness and innate friend- |liness reached beyond her immediate circles. She was loving and lovable and of charming and sensitive | modesty. ] Through the years her distinguished presence, beauty and richness of soul, have given something to| Juneau that will be irrevocably missed with her ab- sence. Graciously she accompanied her eminent husband up the long road of success and achievement. | Juneau mourns her loss and offers sympathy and‘ sincere condolence to her family. The Republicans made much of the fact that Lincoln freed the slaves but they forgot to add that Henry Ford freed the horses and Herbert Hoover the working man. | Heywood Broun probably summed the Al Smith | speech up best when he said: “But, anyway, it was an interested evening. It is not often that a large| audience is afforded the opportunity of watching a| man sell his soul over a nation-wide hook-up.” Herbert Hoover spoke on “The Confused State of | the Union.” It couldn't be Herb that's confused? Just Too Honest! (Cincinnati Enquirer) I The senior Senator from Idaho is one of the country’s indubitable miracles. One never knows where to find him, with respect to the movement of political parties. Now he is in one camp, now in another. He | looms as an extreme reactionary in respect to foreign policy, only to fade away and reappear as an ultra- liberal with respect to his hopes of tilting against monopoly capitalism, But despite all the permutations and combinations of political forces which seem to make a shadowy | will-o'-the-wisp out of the sturdy bulwark of con- | stitutionalism, Senator Borah somehow maintains a defiant consistence all his own. If you were to ask him, } he might reply that it is the country, not Borah, which | is perpetually shifting about. In part, no doubt, his seeming inconstancy is the | result of a very nearly pathological honesty. He is | outspoken to the point of committing political suicide every few weeks. If he has ever sidestepped an issue it is not in the record, yet his strangest convictions seem always to bear on matters of minor national importance. However, what would be political suicide for another seems not to trouble Mr. Borah. He re- mains a power in the Senate and in the Republican party, to which he gives such strange loyalty. | Senator Borah's honesty eéxtends even to his esti- | mates of himself. One of his sentences in a recent | address at Brooklyn should become a classic, for it so perfectly epitomizes the whole political attitude of thel Senator. He said: “I may be wrong, but I am never in doubt.” title, and perhaps one should not challenge the as- sumption in view of the legal authority there repre- sented. But might it be suggested that, in this great crusade for a “return to constitutional government” in the name of Father Abraham, that it was Lincoln who was responsible for the thirteenth and fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, and, who, in his first 4naugural address declared: “This country, with its ~ institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
