There is some solace for the hunters of Southeast Alaska in the reports from Anchorage and Cordova that the ducks have not yet started south and we are glad the boys up mn the Third Division have been getting some good shooting. If they had not, it would) be too late, as their season closes up there today. It may be that Southeast Alaska will get a small vortion of the flight before the end of the month when the 30-day season closes here, but if the weather nolds moderate, as the sportsmen in Anchorage and| Cordova now report, it is. unlikely, with the probable result ‘that the ducks will go over in November when it is against the law to shoot at them. However, it should make the duck shooting just dandy for thei sportsmen’s clubs down in the Mississippi valley,| which have a very loud voice. i But the reason the sportsmen up to the Westward got a little excited about the duck situation was be- cause several disgusted sportsmen in this section suggested a closed season because of the scarcity of ducks in this vicinity, which, as a matter of record, has little to do with the flights from the north. Game | authorities will testify that this section is not on the regular flight routes. The major portion of the flight ducks from the Westward and Interior go east the mountains, down through Canada, or straight south from Cordova and Afichorage over missing most of Southedst Alaska entirely. The du~ks 8 Southeast Alaska are primarily local ducks. stay and breed for the most part in this district, and as most hunters know there is hardly enough of them 1gft to wad a 10 gauge shotgun, as compared with a real flight of ducks. 'Little wonder that somebody suggested closing the season entirely. ‘The sportsmen in the Westward need not get too perturbed about the situation in Southeast Alaska ‘We, shoot few of their ducks any way. But we would think that if the flight has not yet started south they #ii#ht be interested in promoting a later season for themselves another year so as to get the full advan- tage of the good shooting instead of having to stop| shooting before the birds leave their sloughs and lakes. | “FREE COMPETITION” ' When the National Association of Manufacturers decided at its ‘annual cenvention last October to fesort to the tactics of Mark Hanna and proceeded to adopt a “political platform,” there was frequent gse of the phrase “American system” in the credo, as being what the members were anxious to return to with the minimum of delay. At that time there was not such pronounced “freedom of the press”. in vogue. Even the orthodox Republicah “papers- interpreted the “American system” to meah ¥the status quo ‘ante,” Daily Alaska Empire | jet al, |Led by six stalwart Liberty Leaguers, who in August iand agriculture.” the gulf,| They | ‘lof seeking Communist support, Mr. merce of the United States and Col. Frank Knox, the blican’nominee for Vice President. Plainly the ago ‘colonel was impatient at having to wait on Governor Landon’s long deferred speech of acceptance before he could launch his vehement demand for a restoration of “free enterprise.” The Chamber had called it “free competition.” Knox demanded a Iotting down of bars by the States as well as the T'ederal government and a straight-a-way course. However, it remained for the G. O. P. Presidential rominee to employ the expression much more fre- Guently and fervently in his speech at Pornand,l liaine. “To me,” he said, “the Republican platform means . enactment of such additional legislation as is 1 ecessary to put an end to monopoly . . . and all special privilege . . . If you do not believe this, you had better not vote for me. For I am pledged by the Republican platform to save our system of free enterprise.’ There were monopolists' sitting out front cheering the governor’s remarks about destroying monopoly who did not believe him. They believed the estimate of him sent out to its customers by the Continental Bank and Trust Company of New York last January to the effect that Landon is “safe.” So did the Du- Ponts, the Morgans, the Archbolds, the Rockefellers, who, in their own names, according to books <f the Republican State committee reported by the| Senate Committee on Campaign Expenditures, sent| a bountiful supply of cash into the Pine Tree State. Jublicly announced they would not support any politi- cal party this year, these outsiders put up three- fourths of the entire G. O. P. campaign fund in; Maine. Evidently they believed Governor Landon would adhere to their interpretation of the Republi- can platform. And in his speech he lost no time in convincing them., The burden of the Landon speech in Maine was severe criticism of the NRA, which he supported vig- crously as governor of Kansas and vehemently as chairman of a committee of oil men in adopting the petroleum code. While serving in that capacity he boldly demanded “the iron hand of # dictator for the oil indust This admonition was rejected by Prnsh} dent Roosevelt, yet at Portland Candidate Landon| accused the President of being a dictator and “want- ing to establish government domination of industry| | “Do we want the government forbidding us to plant what we want in our fields?” he asked at Port- land, despite his knowledge of the fact that farmers signed under the AAA of their own free will. And elso despite the fact that the farm plank in the Rc-‘ publican platform supports the present farm program. The truth is that there was no more vocal an(! seemingly sincere supporter of the New Deal in either party than Governor Landon. If Henry Ford's support proves as valuable to Mr. Landon as did his historic “peace ship” in World War days, it probably will not have a major effect on' the election. The fracas between the politically minded gals of Smith College, we take it, is an example of equul suffering. We never knew before that slot machines made such a racket. omplications (Gincinnati Enquirer ) The presidential campaign is growing more com- plicated every day.

But these are the least of the country’s troubles. Vice President Johr: N. Garner is obviously lost some- where. Nobody has heard from him for months. Yet no searching party has been organized, which is not very flattering, even to a Vice President. Per- haps the Democrats are in on this plot, and intend to save the announcement of Mr. Garner’s candidacy as a last-minute surprise. | Mr. Browder's whereabouts, on the other hand, are very widely known.

' Mr. Norman Themas also confuses the picture, dashing from coast to coast, making anti-Landon speeches with vigor, as though to make up for the fact that he made anti- Roosevelt speeches for three years and wants to do Jjustice to both major parties. Still another candidate is Mr. William Lemke, who has set some new precedents. He is the only presidential candidate in history who has been ac- companied on campaign tours by his coach. This {is a deliberate steal from football technie, but if it works, it may be worth emulating in future. Oddly enough, though, it is the coach who always calls the signals and carries the ball. the era of unrestraint before Roosevelt, when ‘there Wwas no supervision over issuance of securities; inter- est rates and bonuses were high, wide and handsome; the stock exchanges operated only under their private codes of .ethics.
