WHAT HAVE THEY TO OFFER? Albeit the spokesmen for a portion, at least, of the Republican ticket in Alaska have been loud, and at times careless in their criticism of the Democratic Administration nationally and Territorially, what and how they were going to go about changing them should they be elected has remained a deep dark mystery. Perhaps too deep they think for the Alaskan voters to understand, or perhaps they are afraid to loose too soon their secret magic. The campaign of the Republican spokesmen ap-| pears quité ‘similar ‘to the strategy thus far of Gov-| ernor Landon’s campaign speeches. Editorially the Philadelpha Record comments on the Governor's recent West Middlesex speech as fol- lows, which would apply equally well as a comment of the local candidates, as far as they attempted to offer anything constructive: | Governor Landon made a speech yesterday nl‘ the Pennsylvania village of West Middlesex. | ‘We advise all citizens to read the speech t.hmugh.' Once you start, you can't stop. The suspense is awful. It goes on paragraph after paragraph, while the reader slides to the edge of his chair in anxiety waiting for Governor Landon to say something — anything. He doesn't. Don’t expect us to take issue with what Landon said. It can't be done. You can’t duel with a cloud | or wrestle with a lump of dough. We are in favor of everything Landon favors—liberty, progress, pros- perity, co-operation, government, business, opportun- ! ity and the home. Especially, the home. Governor Landon came out strong—well, pretty strong—for the home. He said: | “We see men, women and children living lOgEl.hel" as families in homes.” So we do. Governor Landon, keen observer, calls it to our attention. That arrangement of people liv- ing together in families has been going on for quite & while now. We hadn’t heard that anybody wanted to change it. But that isn't all that Governor | Landon has to say about the home. He's full of ideas, that fellow. “We see that the family and the home are the foundation of national life.” Correct, Governor. Proceed: “We also see the heads of families assuming res- ponsiblity for their support.” Right there we began to get intensely interested. Naturally, we supposed Governor Landon was going on to tell us what ought to be done when the head of | a family discovered he could not fulfill his responsi- | bility of supporting his wife and children. | We thought of a jobless man listening to a neigh- | Bor's radio, wondering what the Republican candi- [ date intended to do about him. But Governor Landon went on to talk about| freedom. He was in favor of freedom, too. Governor Landon, in addition to noticing that people live in homes, has also discovered that we have business depressions. He has interesting thoughts | on depressions, such as “The day of reckoning always Gomes and then, as now, unfortunately, the innocent! suffer with the guilty." What does he propose to do about them? Well, he doesn’t say. He seems to be in favor of producing ple are going to use for money, to satisfy these “new needs,” when half of them can’t find enough to satisfy | adequately the old needs of food, clothing, decel shelter and recreation, is one of those unpleasant things, which Alf Landon, a pleasant man, doesn't like to talk about. Lots of Governor Landon’s speech is like that hi- | li game the kids play with a racket and a ball on a rubber band; as soon as the ball is hit, it's jerked back. Like this: “This freedom of enterprise that has distinguished the American way of life exists not for a few, but for all. It has benefited every American whether he works for himself or somebody eise. . . .” comes back: “Let us not forget, however, that a fair distribution of economic and social bénefits has yet to be brought about.” Again, Alf plays hi-li on the States’ rights ques- tion with: “Government power must always be used un- flinchingly to correct the abuses: and inegualities which admittedly exist. (Plop) So far as possible, this| should be done by the individual States or by com- pacts among the Stales In the case of abuses beyond the power or jurlsdlctlon of the States, Federal author- ity should be used. (Plop) I am, however, against the transfer to Washington of any power which can be more safely and efficiently administered by State and local governments. (Plop)” Recently, East, The Record asked him seven questions about important public matters. What expenditures would he cut if elected? Would he abolish T. V. A.? Is he for or agdinst a sales tax? What New Deal agencies would he disband? Is he still against Federa] bank deposit insurance? What monopolies would he abolish? How; would he revise the tax system? Those are questions which business men, farmers, consumers, organized and unorganized labor and the people generally are interested in. But after reading that Middlesex speech we real-| Our guest in the East| ize we committed a faux pas. didn’t answer one of them. about matters of that sort. So, in all politeness, we submit seven other ques- He doesn’t, want to talk tions to Governor Landon which he can discuss in hhj. Words Cmen Misused: Do not, sny Chautauqua and Buffalo speeches: 1. Are you in favor of motherhood 2. Are you for or against happiness? 3. Are you for or against sin? 4. Do you love the American flag? 5. What do you think of George Washington’s record as President? 6. Are you in favor of farmers? 7. Is this a great country, or isn’t it? e Joking aside, if that Middlesex speech is a sample, the Landon campaign is going to hit a new low. Undoubtedy, Landon has some opinions on public questions. But if he conceals them under claptrap like the Middlesex speech then the public will be forced to conclude that Hearst, the Liberty Leaguers and his other prominent backers are expressing Lan- don’s real opinions. And the public knows—and fears—those opinions.. Don't worry too much about your sleep. That Cordova drum and bugle corps is worth waking up| | to listen.

The Dictatorship Poll (Oklahoma City Oklahoman) No doubt the opinion of the country concerning ‘the dangers of a pending dictatorship is fairly re- flected in the latest poll of the American Institute of Public Opinion. Of those who participated in the poll, 55 per cent are convinced that Mr. Roosevelt and ms‘ policies constitute no threat of the imposition of a dictatorship upon the country, while the other 45 per | cent look with considerable misgiving upon the Presi- | dent and the trend of his policies. ‘The result pro- bably reflects fairly enough the opinion of the country as a whole. But the result when fully analyzed proves some- thing else pretty cor. lusively. It proves that facts and evidence are fa:l, well forgotten by those who | participated in this latest poll. It proves that bias and prejudice have much to do—a great deal to do Then the ball| in welcoming Governor Landon to| HAPPY. ——BIRTHDAY N Me Empire extenas congratyla- tions. and - best' wishes today, ‘mm birthday anniversary, v the f ing: SEPTEMBER 1. = George Messerschmidt ‘Terry Wiley Pegues Al Noren Tilly Tasselle Margaret Livesley A.

President Wilson had this day {signed the child labor bill saying: ‘I am glad to have had my small part in the making of this im- portant measure. It will mean much to the health and vigor of the country.” Louis Karstens bad - filed suit against the Pacific Coast Steamship Company to recover $2,000 damages for the loss of ‘the fishing boat Xanthrus, which was sunk by the Spokane on August 11. The boat was rammed and sunk by the steamer as she lay moored to Ray- mond's float in Juneau. Announcement had been made of the formation of a merchants' pa- trol by E. J. Sliter, former Chief of Police. Returning from the south on the Prince Rupert were Mrs. E. M. Polley and son Clayton. l With the arrival on the Prince Rupert the previous night of Miss- ;es Maybelle Mose, Elsie DeClark, | ”sobel Wilson and Joseph Sowers, |all the members of the teaching taff of the Déuglas Public Schools 'had arrived, ready to commence work the following week. i All the business housés belonging to the Merchants’ Protective Asso- clation had qeclded to close their doors all day ‘en Labor Day. A. 8. LeNeau, of Juneau had re- turned from mtuya Bay on the El Nido and.reported that miners in that section were not making enough to cover their grubstakes. The placer diggings there were very poor, and the Juneau man reported that during the following winter the diggings would be deserted. —_— Horoscope “The stars incline but do not compel” , [ —_—— WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1936 Adverse planetary aspects are dis- cerned in the horoscope for today, according to astrology.
