What effect the latter will have on the voting is the subject of may be determined only after the votes are counted tomorrow night. In the meantime it is the cause of many contentions and predictions. if any, Some believe that the industrial paralysis caused | by the big tie-up will have a marked effect against the Administration on the premise that the citizenry | who vote in the States may be getting a little im- patient with labor trouble and may cast their votes against President Roosevelt on grounds that his ad- ministration has instituted legislation that is helptul to labor. On the other ters argue the strike, if it has any effect at all, will tend to solidify labor throughout the nation and give the President a larger popular vote than he might otherwise have. It cannot be organized and otherwise our national life and if the present trouble actually binds it together in the balloting it 1 make a very effective showing at the polls tomorrow. Doubtless there is basis for argument on both sides as argument is about all there is left before the votes are cast. But to an impartial observer it would | appear that the strike will have little or no actual effect on the election. The walkout is only five days old tomorrow. The genuine cramp of a general tie- has not yet been felt to any appreciable degree there are some voters in the States who will cast their ballot for Governor Landon because of the strike it is probdble there are just as many who will vote for President Roosevelt, the friend of the common man, on the same ba; up FOR HOME CONSUMPTION Happily, we in the north are comparatively tree from crime as it is known in the large centers of population in the States, but the fact, as reported by J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the Department of Justice, that the crime army of the nation includes more than 700,000 boys and girls of less than voting age is of | vital concern to everyone whether they live in New York City or a small town in Alaska. Discussing the cost of crime in a recent address, Director Hoover stated: There is no excuse for the fact that 700,000 American boys and girls were enlisted in the army of crime prior to reaching voting age. There is no suitable explanation which the fathers and mothers of America can make for this outrageous situation. They have allowed the reins to slip from their hands; they have allowed their own personal pleasures to become uppermost; they have allowed the spirit of family discipline to be- come weakened and they have allowed youth to malinger along the roads of life which lead all too often to disillusionment. Parents have become too concerned in enjoying the flesh- pots of the age to give proper attention to their offspring. Discipline must be re-established in the American home. The father who thinks too much about golf to care what his son is doing; the mother who is so eager for bridge that she pretends to believe that her daughter in a parked car beside the roadway is merely indulging in a bit of harmless petting, must re-cast \helr ldens or realize that they are in the Post Office in Juveau as Second Class nfer a favor if they will promptly notify of any failure or irregularity in the delivery is exclusively entitled to the use for | »nd wlso the local news published | wide discussion which | hand some Administration .\uppur-‘ overlooked that labor, | is a very potent force in! 1| cruit their army of revolt from the ranks of youth. And they win these tragic, misguided young zealots because parents have been too lazy or too ignorant of existing conditions, or too enamored of false philosophies to attack teachings foreign to our ideals and repugnant | to the solid American wisdom and common i sense which should exist in every home. No f boy or girl will be a recruit to subversive activities against our traditions if he or she has been correctly reared and taught by res- ponsible parents that America can exist only as a community of Ged-fearing, sober-minded, | and liberty-loving free men and women. It is an old and familiar philosophy. But is ever true. There is just one place to train boys and girls for worthy citizenship and that is at home. Mr | Hoover might well have added the following recent | news dispatch from Ontario: A flat strap and a good right arm has ac- complished “wonders” in disciplinary action in Weeland county, according to Magistrate J. C. Massie. He said that out of 800 cases in which spanking was imposed in lieu of im- prisonment, there have been only four “re- peaters.” If there is a shortage of anything as the result cf the strike it probably will be soap from the looks of the windows around town this morning. Young America is on its toes as ever. The most unusual effect of the strike we've heard | was the chap who didn’t go to church yesterday be- |cause he understood Satan had established a picket { line. H | [ At any rate, that stuff on the lehhnd will have nice ride, including the two automobiles swung {over on the dock so the mail could be removed | then swung back on again. a and A President Unafrai (New York World-Telegram) You could be proud, if you were listening the {other night, that you were an American. {the air came the voice of America unafraid. | voice of the President of the United States, |“These things we have done; these things we will continue to do; we are not quitting.” ! That was the essence of the Roosevelt speech, | though not the words. That was the message he gave {to the millions who turned to him for leadership in 11932, the millions of the submerged whom he has rescued and who are grateful, and the message like- wise to a much smaller number whom he also rescued and who are not grateful. |se i ] | { It was the voice of courage and confidence, cour- age and confidence of such degree that it sounded a new note in a campaign that had threatened to estab- lish a low mark in political mediocrity.

(Fairbanks News-Miner) Associated Press dispatches report America, Bri- | tain and France have formed a compact for the e tablishment of “a new type of gold standard,” pro- viding for the free exchange of gold between them for stabilization of their funds. Gold transactions between individuals will not be permitted. The chief effect, says Henry Morganthau, secretary of the | treasury, wil! be to take the power of trade in gold out of the hands of “irresponsible speculators” dnd, put it into the hands of the government. | Alaskans, in common with gold miners elsewhere | in America, are concerned in this matter, which has a vital bearing on their continued prosperity, chiefly to the end they desire a steady and dependable market at a price that will be an incentive to continue to apply all their energies in the industry. If the new movement will result in holding the price of gold at its present level or increasing it, all will be well. To permit the price to lapse back to the old figure of $20.67 an ounce or even to drop below the present level would upset all plans of the great number who have been encouraged the last two years to venture into new gold mining enterprises. Under the stimulus of the new prices, Alaska has | seen her placer paystreaks doubled in width and many of her dormant lode properties opened. Pros- pectors and organizers have been getting into the hills, capital has come from its hiding to finance large propositions, and the forward march is like a great drive along the western front in the World War. The glow of gold brightens the horizon as never before. But, reduce the price of gold, upset the mar- ket and put it in the column of uncertainty, and the great industry that is bringing such prosperity to Alaska and America in general will be paralyzed. America, Britain and France are giants in the world of finance, and if their new gold compact brings to the miner a permanent value on his product, Alaska may be expected to continue to progress as never before. | Mining Company.

The Can- dle region is on the Seward Penin- sula north of Nome. Mr. Weinard said hydraulic oper- ations closed down about October 2 but that dredges were expected to run for approximately 20 days more. The Arctic Circle Exploration, Inc, is the largest outfit in the Candle area, employing about 75 men with one dredge, two hydrulic plants and dragline operations. This | company is completing its second _ season in the region, having taken over the interests of the Kiwalik James S.

They are on their way to Seattle. William French has been operat- ing on Jump Creek with a hydraulic | planz and bull-dozer, employing | lbouz five men. Mr. French and his wife were to leave on the steam- er Victoria. ed down operations about Septem- ber 25 and will stay at Candle dur- ing the winter.
