Behrends, who passed away last night, Gov. John W. Troy expressed the sentiment of al Alaska in those words. Mr. Behrends, whose death it reported today in dispatches from Cordova where hc had been stricken, was without doubt the Territory’ outstanding citizen and his death comes as a terrific blow to all Alaskans. For more than half a century Mr. Behrends hac been a moving force not only in Juneau but through- out the Territory. He was an institution in the north. But he was more than that, because no greater humanitarian has ever passed through Dixon En- trance intc the northland. Countless stories can be told of the aid the merchant and banker has given to Alaska people in all walks of life. He knew nc class; his code was of the human heart. He dealt with human beings; weighed them for what they were, and invariably shaded his own thoughts in their favor. The financial help he has given to people throughout the northland is traditional. When hope seemed gone for some, it was Mr. Behrends, who started life in Alaska as a clothing store clerk in Sitka, who came to their rescue to build for them a new hope and a new chance in life. It was said of him that lm. rarely erred in human judgment. Mr. Behrends was of broad mental stature. He did business with the human element. He banked on the man, as well as the security. If there was an opportunity for a man to make good even in the face of odds, the Juneau banker co-operated. It was his philosophy of life. And that it was sound philoso- phy is clearly revealed in the position of high regard, sterling integrity and universal respect in which_he was held by his fellow Alaskans, and the personal financial success which he attained. Few men were ever more universally loved by their fellow man. The death of Mr. Behrends is a staggering personal | loss to all Alaskans. His place in life can not be filled, but the traditions and institutions he has built, and the personnel of his own institutions, many of whom have been with him for 25 years or more, and the enterprises and individuals he has succored will carry forward because they are founded on the pre- cepts of honesty, human equality and humility, re- flected through virtually half a century in the north- land by B. M. Behrends, the man whom everyone loved. “CAUTION BEYOND PRECEDENT” So very little was known to the general public and to the independent press about Gov. Alf M. Lan- don’s views on the vital issues of the Presidential cam- paign that a reasonable degree of plain speaking was expected of him in the delivel of his acceptance speech. Appetites had been whetted by announce- ments in the newspapers as to the progress being made on its preparation over a period of weeks, with details as to whom were collaborating.
