Start- ing Wednesday the Department of Alaska will begin its four-day sessions in the city. Deleg#tes will be assembled here from all parts of the Territory and there will be quite a large delegation from Seattle Men and women, they of sound American citizens. Juneau is singularly honored in having the vet- erans of 20 y s ago assemble in the city. It is a distinctive tribute to the Alford John Bradford Post of Juneau, the largest in the Territory, and to the citizens of this community. It is the biggest convention the capital city will have this year. With the co-operation of the entire community it can be the best. Let us all extend the hand of welcome to the delegates and their friends who arrive for the conclave. Let us all get those caps the Legionnaires are selling to help defray the expenses of their convention, and wear them. Enter into the spirit of the occasion, and help the veterans and auxiliary make this the greatest Legion conven- tion ever held in the north Much is said about Americanism these represent our finest type day In the Legion one finds the bone. of Amer ism. It is an organization that hagefor its purpose no other doctrine but Americanism. Faith: is politics have in the American Legion. It stands vigorously only for God and country. Its pro- gram of child welfare is outstanding in the nation and its various other based solely on the premise of building a and virile America. The Grand Army of the Republic was such an organization, but it is passing rapidly from the picture. The Legion, too, will pass but today it is at its zenith. The veterans of the World War will go down before the onslaught of years, just as the G. A.R its efforts toward building a stronger nation and a sounder people will live on, Let us extend the hand of friendship and wel- come to the men and women of the American Legion Make their stay a memorable one.

Alf M. Landon has refused to co- operate with the other States and the Federal Gov- ernment in fighting the depression. In his speech accepting the Republican presi- dential nomination, Candidate Landon said: “The record shows that in 1933 the primary need was jobs for the unemployed. The record shows that in 1936 the primary need still is jobs for the unemployed. The. time has .come to stop this fumbling with re- covery.” Of coursé Cand mer report of the Ale nder Hamilton Institute that showed almost exactly six million of those who were unemployed in 1933 had secured jobs in 1936. But let us look at the record of Governor Landon on getting jobs-for-the unempleyed. idate I restore employment as quickly as possible but to. rid the country of conscienceless fee-grabbers who for years had preyed on helpless job-seekers. In June, 1933, President Roosevelt signed Wagner-Peyser Act, providing for Federal-State free employment exchanges, locally managed but Tinanced | by Federal and State Governments. Immedi- States began to cooperate, Republican governors with Repub- lican legislatures, Democratic governors with Repub- lican legislatures, recognized the need to both workers jointly ately of inconvenience. and employers of that there are now 297 such changes in 43 of the States But did Governor Landon cooperate? He did not The record shows that although Governor Landon has | so functioned with Republican legislatures during bl)lhl of his terms, he pursued in this vital matter the same do-nothing policy that has cha toward other progressive Kans from these Federal-State exchanges which together th the Federally-operated exchanges secured 3,- 3124 private jobs for persons up to June 30 this vear. Job-seekers in Kansas as far as Governor Lan- | of | general history has | cterized his attitude measures. e don is concerned will contirfue to be at the men private placement bureaus whose been that of practicing extortion. H. R. Shepard gives good advice when he advises all voters to vote September 8, no matter what candi- they may choose. It is the only way government by the majority of the people. dates Doesn’t it seem quiet with all the politicians out | of town? Landon ignored the sum- ed by politicians to be the only true ones. What a tough day to have to Stm( back to school. Self-Made Issues York Times) Tt that an number of citizens have not yet made up their minds One of their is that issues between the two leading parties are not sharply defined. In this there is some force and point. If two lawyers representing respectively the Demo- (New is generally agreed unusually large how to vote in November. complaints cratic and Republican parties were to go into court to | argue their case, an experienced and competent judge would be apt to tell them to go back to their offices and rewrite their briefs, on the ground that they did| not present to him the essential thing in the trial— namely, “an issue joined.” One result of this confused and doubtful feeling on the part of many voters is that they are taking up for themselves the deciding what are the real policies between which a choice must be made. It appears as if a popular book might be written under the title of “Everyman His Own Issue-Maker.” One consequence, at least for the present, is a large amount of perverse tics together with decisions based upon whim or per- sonal freaks. Thus one voter will say: Roosevelt because I hate Hitler.” Another will take the ground that he cannot possibly support Landon' pecause the Republican candidate has not come out against vaccination for smallpox or the practice of vivisect’on. It may be thought that such things have no pessible logical conneetion with the pending poli tical contest jons from given premises, and no one can tell what may be which are really fantastie. We have to consider also the large number societies and organizations that have been quietly formed in various parts of the country, each with a| distinctive political demand or objective. A clergy- man in Kansas City has made a collection of the names of the rdes ome of them secret and oath- bound. They are extraordinarily numerous and di- verse in their aims. One proposed to forbid any for- eign-born citizen to hold office in this country. Another would insist upon the immediate deportation | of all aliens. Others would make short work of re ligions and races which they dislike. The whole i: an amazing congeites of private prejudices and pas sions, not directly related to any political cause or party, but capable of throwing many votes into the | balance in a way to disturb it. We do not need to take seriously the exorbitant claims of Representative Lemke and Dr. Townsend and Father Coughlin. The millions of votes which they pretend to be sure of will doubtless shrink into hundreds when the actual re- turns come in. But there is now a prospect of more erratic voting next November than we are accustomed to see in Presidential years, Wholly apart from these political eccentricities, there is a visible and growing purpose of many citizens to make up their own lists of issues between the | parties. Conventions and platforms and committees | cannot dictate to them.
