REPUBLICAN RECORD IN
HUMANITY’S CAUSE
The honor of the United States is
not in the custody of the Democratic
party, declares the Republican Pub
licity Association, through its presi
den, the Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
in the following statement from its
.Washington headquarters.
Judging by President Wilson's ex
pressed solicitude for the honor of
the United States in its relation to
the rest of the world,—his declara
tion that it would be a violation of.
the nation’s honor to refuse to enter j
the League of Nations—one would !
think that the honor of the United
States is in the special custody of
the Democratic party and of Wood
row Wilson himself, since he has
been for seven years the mind and1
heart and soul of the Democratic1
organization. But a review of the j
past fails to justify the inference.'
The United States has never failed
to perform either its legal or its
moral obligations when Republicans
were in power. All the republics of
the western hemisphere were accord- j
ed full protection under an aggressive
enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine
and when Spain by long period of
oppression of the Cubans rendered j
patience no longer a virtue, the
United States accepted the ‘white
man’s burden,’ and not only gave to
Cuba her freedom but wrested the
Philippines from the hands of their
oppressors and promised them ulti
mate independence when their intel
lectual and political development
shall make such independence wise.
“Under a Republican administra
tion Cuba was freed from pestilence
on the one hand and anarchistic rev
olutiom*on the other. In proportion
to its population the Cuban republic
is today one of the most prosperous
and happy on the face of the earth.
The people of the Philippines were
never better governed; never more
safe in life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness; never justified in
stronger hopes for a splendid future
—and for this the Filippinos may
well be grateful to a Republican ad
ministration which rejected the Dem
ocratic proposal to set the Philip
pines free where they would be the
victims of constant revolution within
and aggressions of selfish interests
from without.
“In the determination of the pol
icies it ■ would pursue relative to na
tions that were weak and oppressed
the Republican party did not devel
op a maudlin sentimentalism guided
by ‘voices in the air.’ The Repub
lican party was not hysterical in of
fers to aid those in need; it acted
deliberately and pursued a course
which it had no occassion to desert.
It won for the United States the re
spect and confidence of all the other
great nations of the earth, for it
demonstrated that it was accuated
neither by selfishness nor by an arro
gant spirit which assumed a monop
oly of international wisdom and vir
tue.
“Under the Republican party the
United States undertook every task
which it was in honor bound to per
form, but it did not interfere in af
fairs which did not naturally and in
due coruse of internation events fall
to its lot.
“The people of the country may
have confidence, in view of the rec
ord of the past, that if the affairs of
government shall be once more en
trusted to Republican leadership
there will be no failure to maintain
the honor of the United States by
the fulfillment of every obligation
either moral or legal. On the other
hand, the people will not be involved
in international complications which
would require the constant mainten
ance of armies on foreign soil and
constant expenditures from the
treasury on account of meddlings
with affairs that are no concern of
ours.”
SWEEP OUR OWN DOOR YARDS
The old adage “If each before his
door would sweep the street would
soon be clean,” is particularly appli
cable to every one. If each man who
reads this article would set his own
house in order and attend strictly to
his own business Alaska would be in
good shape speedily.
Instead of this a large proportion
of the towns of the territory are wor
rying over what the other town has
got or is going to get, and neglects
its own door yard.
As soon as a problem arises in
Alaska that problem becomes an in
dividual problem for each and every
town in the territory. Each pulls
for itself irrespective of damage done
to its neighbor.
If the citizens of each town in the
Third division would elect a represen
tative business man to meet repre
sentative buisness men from other
towns to talk over matters of com
mon interest worry would quickly
spread her wings and soar to other
realms. In any event we would get
closer together and quit foolishly
“hanging back in the breeching.”
It is this attending strictly to the
affairs of Number One which brings
success to a locality.
When each becomes a will unto it
self and disregards the law of co-op
eration it is a foregone conclusion
that little can be accomplished.
Let the towns of the Third division
unite, socially and economically. The
chances are a hundred to one that
better times must follow.
Surely this must be so or there
would be a mighty good argument to
the contrary.—Valdez Miner.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Everyone is entitled to kill three
deer during the coming hunting sea
son. There are a lot of folks that
won’t get their three, however, but
will wear out a lot of footwear look
ing for them.—Douglas News.
If affairs turn out as hoped for by
Harry Chrimes, representative of Lon
don capital who is in town, Ketchikan
will have a big pulp and paper mill
in the near future, capable probably
of turning out 250 tons per day. His
investigations, which are but prelim
inary in character, are gratifying, he
reports and he finds conditions here
much more favorable than reported to
him on his arrival in New York and
later in Seattle.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
At least Alaska is showng a steady
growth in the number of vessels in
operation in her waters. In the fis
cal year ended July 30 there was an
increase of nearly ten per cent in the
number of water craft registered in
Alaska.—Juneau Empire.

CIVIL FLYING IS
ON CREASE I
ALL COUNTRIES
LONDON, Aug. 19 ( by Associated
Press). — Progress in civil flying
made by the various countries of the
world since the armistice is dis
cussed in a detailed report just made
public by Sir Frederick Sykes, con
troller general of civil aviation in
Great Britain.
Despite the fact that Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary are forbidden, un
der the terms of peace, to manufac
ture or import aircraft engines, the
report points out that these three
countries a j in process of organizing
departments of government to deal
with civil aviation. At the present
time, Sir Frederick says, there are
25 air transport companies in Ger
many and the number is increasing
monthly.
Shortage of fuel and the general
chaotic economic situation is retard
ing aviation in Austria, says £he re
port. Belgium has organized an ait
ministry and has established air at
taches in Paris and London. The
government, it is said, has appropri
ated 2,000,000 francs for development
of flying in the Belgian Congo.
Great progress is recorded for
France which has air attaches in all
the chief capitals of the w-orld, whose
duty it is to study the aviation in
various countries.
France, he says, has acquired five
j aerodromes and 24 landing grounds
for the use of civilian flying and is
also planning to connect all her colo
nial possessions by airlines.
Italy has appointed 16 air attaches
in as many countries, says the report,
and is spending large sums of money
in order to keep herself in tho front
rank of aviation development.

THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We

To give a soft answer is awful hard
sometimes.
As long as memory remains the dead
past is never buried.
If you have the dough you never
need be shy on bread and butter.
Man deserves no credit for the good
nature that is the result of indolence
The reason you don’t kick the man
who is up is that he insists on looking
you in the face. i
Latin and other dead languages
would have a better show if people
weren’t so busy living.
Things would be mighty dull in this
old world, if some were not willing to
do more than their share.
The bridegroom doesiT’t count fcr
much in the marriage ceremony—he
just sort of takes a hand.
Luther Burbank nas been accused of
nature faking—but the facts probably
are that he merely fools nature.
Meat is said to be necessary to sus
tain a person who studies. The price
of education is getting prohibitive.
If our forests were all plum trees
there would be no trouble in getting
conservation legislation through con
gress.
ine report that the bottom wat; go
ing to drop out of prices of food stuff
seems to have been somewhat exag
gerated.
An eastern university is going to
institute a course in poetry writing.
There are a lot of people Avho need to
be shown.
An Atlanta man wants to exchange
a cemetery lot for an automobile. His
executors probably will soon be trying
to trade back.
A Chicago man having a million dol
lars started a law suit ten years ago
in which a final decision was reached
the other day. The poor man.

MADGE KENNEDY AT
HER BEST TONIGHT
IN ‘A PERFECT LADY’
“A Perfect Lady” is in town. If
you don’t believe it, call tonight on
Madge Kennedy at the Empress, and
be shown. Madge Kennedy is “A Per
fect Lady.” She admits it. She proves
it.
Believe in scandal? Ever see a bur
lesque? Did you think it naughty?
Sycamore’s town constable just could
not stand for anything so outrageous,
so he stopped the show. But he
couldn’t lose Madge. She staid in
town—and opened a cabaret. She even
set the purity squad to dancing,—and
what she did to the deacon!
Tt’s the kind of comedy that is fun
from beginning to end, with a touch
of spice and so many amusing situa
tions and such a rollicking climax
that you’ll cry for more. For the last
time tonight at the Empress.
And here’s another different kind of
a problem. Do you believe that a
thief, reared by a thief in an atmos
phere of crime from childhood, can
really reform? That is the question
raised by Ethel Clayton, tomorrow
night in “The Girl Who Came Back.”
The play is interesting to the student
of human nature, as a sociological
problem, and it is interesting to the
average picture fan because it is full
of thrills and human appeal. Elliott
Dexter, Theodore Roberts, Marcia
mcl4 Charles West all have excellent
roles.
