ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE THAN THAT | | | - | IARGERI OF AWY OTHER PUBLICATION | | GOV. RI l‘( HIE. One of the countiy’s (r\llsl(ln(lmg political tigures passes in the death of former Gov. Albert Cabell Ritchie of Maryland at the age of 60. Starting out to a name for himself in politics, Ritchie achieved s goal. Four times he was elected Governor of Maryland. His defeat in 1934 was the first time in his life he met reversal at the polls. Another setback, | but not at the hands of the voters, Was his failure to attain the Democratic Presidential nomination in Chicago in 1932. He failed to win the prize but princi- ples for which he fought triumphed and his popularity at home was not diminished. A greater throng filled the railway station on his return than when he left for Chicago. of his life—to know that victory was not necessary to| receive “greetings from the hearts of the people of Maryland.” Gov. Ritchle gained wide public attention as a\ crusader more. His | her daughter’s boy friend will not appeal or, if onf the same level, to the right of the Flag of the United States. 5. Do not let the Flag touch the ground or the floor, or trail in the water. 6. Do not place any object or emblem of any kind on or above the Flag of the United States. 7. Do not use the Flag as drapery in any form whatsoever. Use bunting of blue, white and red. 8. Do not fasten the Flag in such manner as will permit it to be easily torn. 9. Do not drape the Flag over the hood, top, sides of back of a vehicle, or of a railroad train or boat. When the Flag is displayed on a motor car, the staft should be affixed firmly to the chassis, or clamped to the radiator cap. 10. Do not display the Flag on a float in a parade except from a staff. 11. Do not use the Flag as a covering for a ceiling. 12. Do not carry the Flag flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. 13. Do not use the Flag as a portion of a costume or of an athletic uniform, Do not embroider it upon | cushions or handkerciiefs, nor print it on paper nap- | kins or boxes. 14. Do not put lettering of any kind upon the Flag. 15. Do not use the Flag in any form of advertis- | ing nor fasten an advertising sign to a pole from which | the Flag is flown. 16. Do not display, use or store the Flag in such |a manner as will permit it to be easily soiled or dam- | aged. The British have a plan to force all nations, includ- ing the United States, to join a world wide system of | collective security in an effort to end war. In view of the persistent attempts to involve tHis country in foreign affairs, Uncle Sam should be smart enough to | view this magnanimous effort from a cistance.

Dropping every other interest and working tirelessly for eight months against the most able legal and technical talent the utility company could engage, Ritchie won rate reductions which approximately $500,000 a year. A state-wide political career now opened up before | him. He entered the race for, auome\ general. of | Maryland and won the post by comrmwblo primary | and general election majorities in-1915. He soon let his | ambition to be governor be known, but before he| reached his goal as the state’s executive the World war intervened He was granted a leave of absence from his post of attorney general in 1917 to become legal adviser to the federal war industries board, a post which brought him | in contact with Bernard M. Baruch, its chairman and a Ppower in financial and Democratic party affairs. F‘romj‘ then on, Baruch took a personal interest in Ritchie's campaigns and was one of his original supporters as al Presidential nominee, Ritchie’s chance at the governorship came in 1919, when the Democrats gave him the nomination wmw\n.‘ opposition. The vote was so close that the result was not known for several day The official count showed Ritchie the winner by 165 votes. The Republican he conquered was Harry W. Nice—the man who 15 years later wrested the go\'»' ernorship from him and ended his long political as- cendancy in the state, Before his regime ended, Ritchie went trom one victory to another. No man before him had ever been elected to a second term as governor, but the voters swept him into office four times in succession. His general election majorities steadily mounted until an| unprecedented margin of 66,770 was reached in 1930. His achievements governor included fiscal and | other reforms that made the Maryland state govern- | ment a model in some respects. At the end of the de- pression year of 1931, when many other states were in | financial distress, Maryland had an unencumbered surplus of $3,600,000. ved consumers | | | FLAG DISPLAY. The Flag was given widespread display over the | week-end in honor of Washington's Birthday, and at-| tention has been called to many violations of the| National Flag Code, particularly with regard to the store window displays. The rules embodied in the eode | are simple but rigid. The National Flag is entitled | to the highest respect and proper observance of the| rules. Printed copies of the National Flag Code are| procurable from many sources, and all Boy Scouts and American Legion officials are qualified to furnish in-| formation relative to the p{opc: display. One of the most gommon errors observed in the| Washington’s Birthday displays concerns Rule No. 8 01 the Code, which states: “When the flag of the United | States is displayed in a manner other than by being | flown from a staff it should be displayed flat, whclhozu indoors or out. When displayed either horizontal or vertically against a wall, the union should be upper- most and to the flag's own right, i.e., to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be dis- | played in the same Among the errors noted in| local displays were the following: Flag displayed with | union not in proper position; flag draped (not flat); and flag allowed to touch the floor or ground. ‘The following list of “Cautions” is designed to pre- vent commission of the most frequent violations of the National Flag Code. . 1.

But apparentl; the miners, along with others of the working class, have come to despair of fair treatment from those who have captured control of the Roosevelt opposition The mine leader, John L. Lewis, is a lifetime Republi- can and a conservative in labor ranks. Most of the miners reside in Republican districts. But apparent- ly they have decided this is to be no ordinary Republi- can-Democratic battle. The miners, largest of the labor groups, know that | far 4rom hindering recovery and destroying liberties as opponents say it has, the New Deal has promoted | their welfare and bulwarked their liberties. They know that when the Roosevelt administration came into power the coal industry was prostrate. They know that, unlike the previous administrations which | | They know that through NRA it established a me'\suc of stability which put many thousands back on the | payroll and protected their rights to organize and bargain collectively, by which they have raised melr standards. They know that when NRA was kicked out President Roosevelt pressed for passage of the Guf- {fey Coal law, through which the miners hope to achieve permanent gains. the Roosevelt opponents as destructive of liberties. The miners did not agree. Abraham Lincoln, speaking at the Sanitary Fair at Baltimore in 1864, said something which seem: apropos of this conflict of opinion: “The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his act as the destroyer of liberty.” Making The Best of It. g News) The News realizes that realities must be faced, and that one of these realities is that the nomination of President Roosevelt is a foregone conclusion.: It | realizes that Democrats will not wish to replace him with a Republican President and that the great major- |1ty of them will prefer retaining a Democrat whose | policies they ¢annot wholly approve to choosing a Re- publican whose whole theory of government is re- pugnant to theirs and who will be supported by every reactionary in the nation.
