ROOSEVELT MAY VISIT US
Word from Washington is to the effect that President
Roosevelt takes kindly to the invitation to visit Alaska.
When President Harding visited Alaska we were hopeful
that it would mean big things for the territory and it would
have had it not been for his untimely death.. If President
Roosevelt visits us we believe he will receive first-hand in
formation which will cause him to be enthusiastic over the
development of our great empire. He is a man ot broad
vision and great ability and undoubtedly will see the money
to be made by backing up Alaskans in their plans to develop
this great source of mineral and piscatorial wealth, liis un
bounding energy and keenness of perception should cause
him to bring forth results closed to the eyes of the resident
who is forced to use all his energies to live.—Valdez Miner.
INVESTIGATING MEXICO
Senator Borah’s resolution for a senate investigation of
religious persecution in Mexico is couched in affronting
terms. It would condemn “cruelties and brutalities” under
the Mexican government, and call upon Mexico “in the
name of humanity” to desist from further alleged atrocities.
The proposed resolution would be a gratuitous reflec
tion upon President Roosevelt, who has been unjustly cen
sured in some quarters for what was termed his tacit ap
proval of alleged friendly utterances by his ambassador to
Mexico in connection with the policy of that government
with respect to religion.
We have had peace now for several years along the
Mexican border. Why not “let well enough alone?’ —Spo
kane Spokesman-Review.
JOBS, WAGES AND RELIEF
Considering all manufacturing industries as a whole,
both employment and payrolls are now higher than they
were in the fall of 1931. Yet the expenditures of the fed
eral government for relief are far larger than they were then.
In 1931 neither FERA nor CCC had been created. Now they
are spending at the rate of more than two billion dollars
annually. What is the explanation of this enormous How of
federal funds if both factory employment and payrolls have
recovered to the level of late 1931?
Doubtless part of the explanation lies in the fact that

private and local governmental agencies now carry a smaller
share of (he total relief burden, with the consequence that the
federal government has been forced to accept a larger share.
Doubtless, too, private resources on which those without
work formerly relied have been exhausted in many cases.
But with due allowances for these facts, it is reasonable to
believe that one of the major causes of the great flow of fed
eral funds today is that the relief rolls now include many part
time workers who in the past were not accustomed to supple
ment their incomes by seeking assistance from the govern
ment. It is one of the merits of the new “work-relief plan,
provided it is put into effect in the form in which the Presi
dent originally proposed it—that it sets up a “means test for
federal relief the willingness of the applicant to accept full
time employment at wages properly below those paid in pri
vate managed industry.—New York Times.
A SYNTHETIC EMERALD
The great chemical dye trust claims that it has produc
ed the first synthetic emerald. It has just caused a stone of
surprising similarity to the real thing to be mounted with
genuine emeralds in a ring which will be the prize in a lot
tery at the Press Ball, always the most outstanding social
event of Berlin's winter season.
Called “Igmeralds,” in compliment to the trust, referr
ed to popularly in Germany by the capitals of its name.
"1. G.,” these stones will only be produced in very small
quantities, and possessors of real emeralds are advised that
they need have no fear of any fall in value of the authentic
gem. Both the great chemical works and the two experts,
Dr. Jager and Dr. Espig, actually responsible for the Tg
merald." are sufficiently proud of their product to acompany
the presentation of the ring to the fortunate winner with a
jarehment document, testimony of the unique occasion.—The
London Observer.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Many people regard work as a penalty, as something
irksome. They think it a sort of punihment. They work
because they must, and do as little work as they can.
At closing, at most places who employ large numbers,
you can see the workers who deserve promotion and those
who do not. A few will drop their work on the tick of the
clock heedless of whether their day’s work is completed or
not. while some will go on for a few minutes, finishing what
they are doing.
Many workers seem to regard themselves as slaves.
They seem to think in slave fashion. These folks create
their own slavery. They lack ambition. Any worker, no
matter how small his job, can win the respect and good will 1
of his superiors by taking a keen respect in his work.
The workers who get ahead are those who do something
t > improve their position once in a while—something they are
not paid for—and do their job better than the boss expects
them to do it. This is a secret of promotion and is the rea- 1
son back of what is called “good luck.”
