SELLING ALASKANS
ON ALASKA
Significient words of wis
dom which all Alaskans,
especially those with child
ren, can do well to remem
ber and put into practice
were uttered recently by
H. L. Redlingshafer in his
farewell remarks to the
Juneau Chamber of Com
merce before leaving for a
new post in the national
capital.
Sell Alaska first, especial
ly to her young people, for
they are the Territory’s
greatest asset, he urged his
fellow members.
Can mentally over the list
fo~ a moment of the young
men and women of your ac
quaintance who have gone
off to the universities and
colleges in the States dur
ing the years of your Alas
ka residence. How many
have returned and how
many have stayed Outside?
Whether they go to Wash
ington, or some other place.
The fact is that too many
leave with the idea of mak
ing connections Outside af
ter completing school rath
er than returning to the
North where they, knowing
it, have a better chance for
success. These youngsters
are the very persons who
can bring Alaska into her
rightful heritage. They are
the coming men and wo
men we want to sell on thir
homeland, and keep them
sold on it while they are
pursuing their studies in
the higher institutions of
learning.
We want population, in~
dustry and development in
the North, but are we not
missing a golden opportun
ity toward that end in not
selling our boys and girls
on Alaska? Are not they,
native of the Territory, equ
ipped with the training re
ceived in higher schools of
the States, better able to
carry forward in building
this great northern empire
than many others?
There is just as much
room and opportunity for
the Alaska graduate of the
Universities, in the North,
as there is in the bond
houses of New York or Chi
cago. Perhaps the prospects
may not be so alluring, but
isn’t part of it our fault for
not se’ling t'; in on their
own land before they seek
other fields?
Mr. Redlingshafer has
left a thought with us that
is well worth carrying into
action: Selling Alaskans
their own country, just as
we are trying to sell those
in the States with resour
ces on the idea of coming
North.—Juneau Empire.
Perhaps Mr. Hoover can
find the reply to his oft ex
pressed fear of inflation in
the Illinois election where
the inflation of Democratic
votes deflated the totals of
Mr. Knox and Mr. Borah.
With Mussolini coming
down the road, Haile Selas
sie must feel like the Re
publicans when they left
Douglas. Alaska.—Juneau
Empire.

Coalition Cov.
Talk Not Excite
Real Politicians

happen, but few practical
politicians appear to be tak
ing the prospect very ser
iously.
Has Happened in Cabinet
Of course there would be
nothing difficult or novel
about adherents of both pol
itical parties sitting togeth
er in the Cabinet. That has
happened often.
Mr. Hoover had in his
cabinet two men—Attorney
General Mitchell and Sec'
retary Adams—who were
listed as Democrats. Mr.
Roosevelt has in his cabinet
two men—Secretaries Wal
lace and Ickes—who have
been republicans.
It even is possible to con
ceive of a situation (altho
it does put a strain on the
imagination) where a cab'
inet might be composed of
such men as Alfred E.
Smith, Andrew Mellon. J.
P. Davis, and James W.
Wadsworth, or, conversely,
such men as William E.
Borah, Hugh S Johnson Ro
bert M LaFollette and Har
ry L Hopkins.
Arrangements like these,
however, hardly fit the de
finition of “coalition govern,
ment” as it is understood in
those European countries
where it is practiced. What
happens there is that the
group includes, not the dis
contented elements, but
the constituted leadership
of two or more political
parties.
Such a conception would
more likely begin by bring
ing Mr. Hoover and Mr.
Roosevelt, with their prin
cipal adherents, together in
one cabinet.
Unlike American Theory
No one has suggested that
such a step would be either
possible or desirable. It
may work, in some instanc
es, in foreign countries, buj,
the practice of party rule is
deeply rooted in these Un
ited States.
Whether it is a good
thing or not, the theory
that the President and his
official family must stand
together and think as much
alike as possible, is as much
a part of the American me
thod as is the party system
itself.

“Read By Alaskans Everywhere”
period before party organi
zations took form, there
was a real coalition govern
ment in this country. Tho
mas Jefferson sat across the
Cabinet table from Alex
ander Hamilton under the
Presidency of Washington.
Now even the far-remov
ed disciples of these two
seem either unable or un
willing to “go along” togeth
er in governmental effort.
After Mr. Harding was el
ected President he had a
fleeting idea of coalition. He
announced he would sum
mon to Washington the
best minds of the country.
But all the best minds turn
ed out to be Republican
I
minds.
Coalition is a beautiful
word when spoken of in the
future, and no attempt
made to apply it specifical
ly. _
