It is true that “politics” have earned themselves a black name among many classes of men who would be infinitely qualified to hold responsible public offices. Fundamentally to blame for this condition have been a minority of public officials who, after their election, were not beyond forgetting the “Hon- est John" character they had assumed during their campaign. When these corrupt officials began to use the cloak of their office as a shield while they fleeced the public and perpetrated all sorts of rackets, news- papers took up the cry against them.

And so it has gone. On most newspapers, local, state or territorial pelitics are treated with the same journalistic license, the same use of slang which is accorded the reporting of sporting events, Small wonder then, that some men in respectible positions with industries refuse point-blank to get “mixed up politics.” This situation is certainly not as it should be, but may we point out that qualified persons who refuse to take their part in the government of their city, their territory or their nation are doing noth- ing to correct the shadowy implication which un- scrupulous politicians, who never should have been elected, have earned for that word ‘“politics.” Conscientious officials of government deserve the highest of respect for their position and work in the public’s behalf. Generally, our Alaska officials have earned that respect for themselves and their offices. This year, the voters deserve to have their poli- ties dished out in a serious fashion, in keeping with the gravit® of the national situation which must be reflected in every public office. There should be keen interest in the men seeking those offices, and the candidates should all be of a type to command of their fellow men. eye from every One Ma Answer (Cincinnati Enquirer) There are many answers to the question that has become so popular since last December 7: “What can T do?” And one of the most unique answers to the query has been made by W. L. Hand, a sales- man and winter resident of Lantana, Fla. Mr. Hand decided that his most effective con- tribution would be the application of his ability as a salesman to the national defense bond and stamp sales drive. So, without further ado, he began a house-to-house canvass of the town. He called at every house—and by the time he was finished Lan- on the fact|tana was the first incorporated town in the United | States that has a 100 percent record for the pur- chasq of defense bonds and stamps To be sure, the municipality is small. The total population of Lantana is 264 persons, but Mr. Hand sold stamps to 195 persons and bonds to 35, includ- ing two of the $1,000 denomination, The other 34 residents already had been getting stamps or bonds at the local post office As accomplishment, the record of a one-man Treasurer, Delegate to Con-|$4000 in bonds and morc than $300 in stamps sold | by Mr. Hand in a small community is well worthy of notice. But not only is it an instance of i patriotism; it is an excellent example whi with tremendous benefit to the national war effort Perhaps every community cannot be sold 100 It is certain, however, that a diligent house- to-house canvass by capable salesmen and sales- women anywhere will lead to a great increase in bond and stamp sales. In Mr. Hand's words: “Seli- ing national defense products like stamps and bonds | I have been selling goods all my life and} is eas this the easiest yet.
