PLAIN INDECENCY The “Indian Love Call” is a beautiful piece of music. It has a haunting melody which lingers. They played it night at the Republican rally at the Coli- seum Theatre with the tenderness of a mother soothing a fractious child. Presented on a somewhat puzzling but tuneful musical program which included “Nobody's Sweetheart Now” and “Red Sails in the Sunset,” it is lamentable this intimation of beauty and artistry was later lost in some subsequent grossness It had some appropriateness at last night's rally, coming as it did just preceding Chairman Howard Stabler’s dispatch of messages to various members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood over the radio broadcasting system and following a hilarious comedy motion picture dealing with fishing. Chairman Stabler aptly described the audience when he said it wa: a nice, good crowd with a quite a number of Republicans,” The several candidates were on the platform along with other party leaders and the speakers of the evening were Mr. Gore, who is the Republican candidate for Delegate, and Mr. McCain, who s the office of Attorney General on the same ticket. The former made fitting remarks. an account of which appears elsewhere in this news- paper. Mr. McCain also made remarks, many of them dealing with subjects rarely if ever dis- cussed before mixed audiences, particularly with ,young children present, and probably never before over a broadcast, and certainly not for printing in a family newspaper. We have no quarrel with Mr. McCain for being proud of his knowledge of such things. But in be- half of those thousands of good, clean, upstanding Alaskans of all parties ond faiths we feel called upon to enter protest ‘against’this or any other .political campaign in Alaska sinking to the level of plain in- decency. The intelligence of Alaska voters is just as high as the intelligence of any group of people in the world.. The people of this Territory resent, and rightly so, being so addressed, plainly shown last night when the audience was too abashed to even laugh. The other day a visitor from the States comment- ed to us of the high plane on which it seemed to him the political campaign was being conducted in Alaska. His impressions were gained from reading The Empire and other Alaska newspapers, he said. We felt it a handsome comment to the people of Alaska. We still think so. But we also hope that the stranger was not present last night when the Republican candidate for Attorney General allowed his enthusiasm to carry him into the use of language which was little less than an insult to every man, woman and child in the house. How uplifting to that group of little girls sit- ting on the front row, and the many others of all ages sitting in family groups around their radios at{ home. D RELIEF | POLITICS On July 17 in Boston John D. M. Hamilton, Chair- nan of the Republican National Committee, address-| ng a meeting of party workers, quoted from a letter he said was sent from the office of Gov. Leslie A Miller of Wyoming, to an applicant for a foreman’s job in the CCC last year. Mr. Hamilton said that in the letter the applicant was asked to tell “what serv- ices and contributions he had, made to the Demo- cratic party.” Governor Miller is a Democrat and the plain im- plication of Mr. Hamilton's remarks was that political considerations governed the placing of persons on relief rolls. He asserted that the Wyoming instance was “not an isolated one and the practice is wide- spread.” Mr. Hamilton’s imputations were immediately re- sented in Wyoming and emphatically denied by Re- publicans themselves. Will G. Metz, Wyoming WPA administrator, wired Hamilton that “foremen and all other administrative or supervisory employees, whether paid out of emergency relief appropriation act funds or any other funds, are customarily selected on a basis( of qualification and fitness on a strictly non-relief| basis, and eligibility for relief is not a factor. “Young men working under supervision in camps are selected strictly on a relief basis without regard to party affiliations, but as you well know experienced men are required to direct relief activities and they | are not relief cases, though paid from relief funds. “The cooperation of Governor Miller with this administration in thoroughly and consistently keeping politics out of relief is well known to all the Republi- cans as well as Democrats in this state . . . Probably |50 to 60 of administrative and supervisory positions in relief and other administrations in this state are manned and efficiently conducted by Republicans.” This' statement of Mr. Metz is supported by prom- inent Republicans who were interviewed by the Wyo- ming Eagle, a. Cheyenne newspaper. Gregory Powell, director of the division of employment of the WPA, who was secretary to the governor and secretary to the State Board of Charities under a Republican ad- ministration, said: “I have been a Republican ever since T can remember and my father was one before me. In the simplest and most straightforward way possible T want to state that the WPA in Wyoming has been kept absolutely and definitely clear of poli Mart T. Christensen, for years Republican Register of the U. 8. Land Office, holder of other offices under Republican administrations, and director of the WPA writers' project, said: “There has not been, to the best; of my belief, a single.instance in the administration | of the federal writers' project where political affilia- tions have determined the selection of employes. They | have been selected on ability alone and have main- tained their jobs on that basis.” T. C. Thompson, former secretary of the Repub- lican State Central Committee, said: “This pmgram; has necessitated ability and we have employed that ability where we found it, paying no attention to poli- tical affiliations. That phase has never been dis- cussed with me and there has not been a single in-| stance in this department where party affiliations de- termined the choice of an employe.” Mr. Thompson is auditor of the water conserva- tion program of the WPA and has been a Republican all his life. W. L. Paulson, assistant accountant in charge of the U. S. Treasury state accounts office, who has Been a Republican all his life said: “I do not know of a single instance where politics has entered into the administration of relief in the state of Wyoming.” canneil_wSaIm’dn" method of building | among the school children of Amer- appreciation e SCHOOLS OPEN lica for the country’s northen-most Picture to Be Territory, and for it's greatest pro- duct—Canned Salmon.

The force of the crash sprung the Hum- boldt's bow and water poured in. {The Providencia threw lines aboard {the Humboldt and took the passen- |gers aboard. Then the Humboldt cast off and disappeared in the fog. The Providencia was not in- jured according to wires received in Seattle. President Wilson, as a most dra- matic climax to his unprecedented | negotiations to avert a labor war {in the United States and to prevent the trainmen of the greater part of the railroads of the United States striking the following Monday, ap- peared before a joint session of the Congress on this day. President Wilson urged legislation to prevent the labor trouble. Tom McCaul had announced that a garage and automobile showroom were to be established in the quar- |Office Store.on Front Street. A company to take moving pic- tures in Southeast -Alaska was formed ‘bl‘rs of the company left on the gas |boat Fearless for Ketchikan where | pictures of salmon fishing were to |be taken. The company was form- ed by W. E. Woodworth, Harry Cof- fee, Captain Felix- Bradstein, and Victor Crondahl. The party took 5000 feet of film with them and expected to spend 10 days in Ket-, chikan. An operation for appendicitis was performed at the Geheral Hospital while the Admiral Watson was in port to Dr. Outland and Dr. Teal of Kansas City assisted by Dr. De- Vighne of Juneau. The operation was performed on Timothy Mur-! ray, guidte, who had just accompan- ied the doctors on a hunting trip in the Kenai Peninsula. This night was to be “get togeth- er night” for the members of the Arctic Brotherhood. The regular meeting was to be followed by box- ing bouts, a musical program, and a buffet lunch. George Anderson, piano expert, who had made a trip through the Interior, had returned and was to remain here for several weeks. Mrs. Charles Goldstein was a southbound passenger on the Mar- iposa: for Seattle. She was to re- main with Mr. Goldstein in Seat- tle until he ‘recovered from an appendectomy.
