V7ill they be marching with us on Armistice Day and feeling with us about democracy? Will our fallen comrades still be honored and .the things for which they gave their lives still secure for America. The answer to these questions can be seen in the Lons of The American Legion marching in our Armis- jlice Day parades this year, and in the Junior Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary members taking part in the jceremonies. It can be seen in our Boy Scout troops, | Junior Baseball teams and Boys' States— everywhere |that we are at work teaching young Americans to be good Americans. | These youngsters of ours know what Armistice Day means. It is our job to carry on so that every American youngster will have that meaning in his |heart and so that no matter how many years have rassed since the bursting of that “last shell beyor the Meuse” Americans still will stand in reverence beneath the Stars and Stripes on the eleventh hour | of the eleventh day of November. republieation of &ll news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper znd also the, local news published herein ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NO SORE SPOTS IN ALASKA Alaskans, true to their traditions, are whole- | heartedly for their Territory and its development. First in the nation to declare themselves for the Roosevelt policies through -the election of a Democratic ticket in September, now they are first in the nation to forget the election and move forward on a solid front for the advancement of Alaska. There is no grumbling among the people under the northern lights. They ! vote their convictions, win or lose, and then go ahead Achievements Mann (Cincinnati Enquirer) Dedication of a statue to Horace Mann, first President of Antioch College, is one of the events of | a nation-wide celebration of his centenary. 1 What we now know as the American system of higher education owes much to this intellectual | to greater things. pioneer.

Hi In the national program, which should now be made clear and definite, Alaska has every reason to expect that she should be accorded the fullest co-operation by the administration.

As a vast contri- butor of wealth to the nation—heaviest of any American possession in proportion to population—Alaska is deserving of the best the nation can give her. No other virgin realm is so blessed with potential wealth, so alluring in a rare and unusual way—or so vitally situated geographically as to economic and strategic defense of the nation. Alaska is at the threshold of a great era which can be speeded up by a generous and liberal policy on behalf of executive and leg- islative branches of the government, now com- mitted indisputably to the party which yes- terday again swept into power. Alaskans, from individuals to her legisla- tive assembly and representative organiza- tions, can now help hasten the realization of her greatest day by vigorously pressing home to Washington the Territory’s needs and what she deserves as a land of unparalled promise and one which acclaimed her sympathy with the prevailing political faith of the day. Alaska gives much and will expect much from the nation. : There are np sore spots in Alaska. beyond the narrow rim of politics. sa; The Western replica should sym- in making higher education the Biographical Dictionary (Boston Herald) = The Dictionary of American Biography will be completed this year with the publication of the twenti- eth volume. The monumental task is a,credit to American scholarship and to the vision and generously of an'American publisher, the late Adolph S. Ochs, who realized that such a work could not be undertaken merely as a commercial venture. The selection of subjects and of authors and the editorial supervision in general were under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies and the immediate di- rection of a commiitee of management of seven mem- bers. The late Dr. Allen Johnson was the first editor and Dr. Dumas Malone, now of the Harvard Uni- versity Press, completed the assignment.
