DUCKS OUT OF THE DEPRESSION
Ssh! Not a word about it to the hunters, but the New
Deal has a recovery program for the duck." It won’t come
under the NRA, but for all that, the chiselers—meaning the
arch enemies of duckdom—will be better looked after. The
Biological Survey, true to its name, has been surveying the
national field as it relates to wild ducks, and it finds nothing
especially encouraging to the ducks, except such manful
plans as are in the making.
These, in their tentative stage, call for the restoration
of one million acres of marginal land of the Central States
to their original wild condition and before the next breeding
season. Competition of-the cut-throat or dead-shot kind is
to be curbed. Hunters will be kept out or regulated until
the ducks have a fair chance. That’s the plain social justice
and an off-the-record report has it that the wild ducks have
just held a national convention at which they adopted a re
solution pledging their heartiest support, thus following the
lead of organized business in the country.
TkE PETTY SCHEMES OF LITTLE MEN
It would be a mistake to take seriously the spectacular
“revelations” of Smedley D. Butler charging an attempt was
made by Wall Street financiers to make Butler the leader of
a Fascist movement to overthrow the Government. Like
Dr. Wirt’s discovery of a left-wing conspiracy to make us a
Bolshevist nation this right-wing plot to bring about Fas
cism is simply too theatrical. Probably some casual remarks
in both cases gave Wirth and Butler enough basis for them to
convince themselves that they had struck something big.
A wistful' yearning to be in the headlines is ample to do the
rest.
Neithef ’Fascism nor Communism comes upon a country
simply as the result of a carefully laid plot among a handful
of determined men. Such leadership and financial support
might bring to a head movement of a Bolshevist or Fascist
character, if it comes along at the pyschological moment,
when the mass of people are sick at heart and ready for any
thing new. It was thus in Russia, Italy, and Germany. A
demoralized population, economic paralysis, and political
chaos combined in each of those instances to set the stage for
momentous political change. Lenin, Mussolini, and Hitler
appeared to capitalize on an overwhelming popular demand
for change.
The situation in America has no similarity to that in the
three countries mentioned. Our population is not demoraliz
ed. Our economy is on the mend, and never was paralyzed.
Our political thinking is no sense chaotic. The recent elec
tion demonstrated that an overwhelming majority are well
well satisfied with our present national leadership.
These observations are made, not because the fantastic
plot revealed by General Butler warrants being dignified by
a refutation, but to establish the basic fallacy in this and
every other alleged conspiracy to disturb our political syst
em. The petty schemes of little men are not a serious chal
lenge to a nation which is strong and resourceful and unified.

DON’T BECOME DULL
B. H. Broiles, Editor of the Mexia (Texas) News, says:
You have got to raise hell to get along nowadays. Eith
er you must raise hell, jazz it up, advertise, become out
standing, spectacular, startling and colorful, or you drop
behind into the dullness of the procession.
Those who get ahead, either in politics, business, reli
gion or anything else are spectacular. They advertise.

e*i toibrwlr precedents and venture out, boldly ahead of the
crowd. He advertised.
Huey Long is dictator of Louisiana, Mussolini of Italy,
and Hitler of Germany because they are showmen. Frank
Norris, Billy Sunday and Aimee McPherson are outstanding
evangelists because they know how to advertise.
Cleopatra used her charms. Napoleon displayed his
nerve in bold type, and Abraham Lincoln advertised his
rough and tumble humanness to get along. Charles Lind
bergh is where he is today because he did the spectacular,
and Mae West is the supreme satirist of her sex because she
displays her curves to advantage. . ■
All this is advertising of a kind. If you want to get along
nowadays, raise hell, be outstanding, advertise!
The sure way to reach the buying public of Nome is
to advertise in this newspaper.
Too many people are making random guesses about the
days ahead.
The man who continually knocks his own home city
is a pest. He should either become a- booster or be boosted
out.

If brute force ruled the dark ages and if religion sway
ed the masses of the middle centuries, it might be said with
equal truth that today the politicians rule the world.

Everywhere progressive merchants find that continuous
newspaper advertising brings the customers to their stores
again and again.
^Air conditioning is fast becoming a big factor in the elim
ination of climatic discomforts.
Every citizen should in every way possible patronize,
protect and encourage the business and industries of Nome.
Too many men in this world make the making of money
their religion.
The products that are continuously advertised in the
newspapers make a “big hit” with the public.
Some men have a smiling way of working their way thru
every difficulty and turning every opponent into a friend.
No citizen is so powerful, none so humble, that the city
in which he lives is not an aid to him in some way.
