VICE PRESIDENTIAL “SOP.”
Lest the matter be entirely lost
sight of, let it be printed that Frank
lin D. Roosevelt also ran at San Fran
cisco, and was allowed to take the
vice presidential prize without oppos
ition, except that several names
were mentioned, just for publicity
purposes, only to be immediately
withdrawn, leaving the whole track
uncontended for Roosevelt. Just why
the assistant secretary of the navy
should not have been nominated did
not appear in the shape of any op
position. Just why he was nominat
ed for vice president is as plain as
the butt end of a goat: His name,
that’s all. This nomination is char
acteristic af all things and every
thing Democratic in these days of
Wilsonism and bamboozlement. The
idea of putting a man named Roose
velt on the ticket is obvious. In
stantly bobs up the question as to his
kinship to the Greatest American.
The claim is being made and elab
orately paraded that Franklin D.
Roosevelt is “fifth cousin to Col.
Theodore Roosevelt.” Fifth cousin,
forsooth! Can anybody tell us just
how' far off from the parent stock
a fifth cousin is? It’s a safe propo
sition that no two men out of a
thousand will agree as to what near
ness or remoteness of kinship exists
in fifth cousinship.
Aside from the actual or imagin
ary tie of consanguinity, there is ab
solutely nothing of the true Roose
velt in the Wilson assistant secre
tary of the navy. He is on the tick
et, not as a man but merely as a
combination of letters spelling a dis
tinguished name. In fact, this candi
dacy is a sham and a fraud—a char
acteristic Democratic false pretence.
Of course the name should not have
been barred from the nomination, but
it is grossly indecent to use the name
for, the purpose of deluding a lot of
people—and there is no doubt in the
world that that is just what it is
proposed to do. The man himseli
adds nothing whatever to the boss
made ticket; but tricksters hope,
through the name, to fool a lot of
people into voting for the ticket. Of
course the changes will be rung on
the name, and it will be paraded
to the utmost; but results will be
small. American voters are thinking
and are going to the polls with both
eyes open. Their thinking will re
suit in a verdict that, if for no other
reason, the mere fact that the Dem
ocratic vice presidential candidate is
running on the name of Roosevelt
stamps him, if any connecion at all
to the real Roosevelt, as a “degen
erate scion of a noble race.”
The person who tries to act rich
is poor in the finer qualities oi
manhood.
THE ALASKA FISHERIES
Foreign conditions may adjust
themselves in time to relieve the
present situation facing the Alaska
salmon packers. With short packs
north the investors in Alaska can
neries do not expect to realize heavy
returns, but their financial loss will
no doubt result in needed protection
to the dwindling Alaska salmon fish
eries. For years it has been appar
ent that the administration of the
Alaska fisheries by the U. S. bureau
of fisheries was going to result in
total destruction to this great north
ern resource. That the prediction
will come true is not disputed by
other than those closely identified
with the bureau.
There is yet time to secure addi
tional legislation this winter plac
ing the Alaska fisheries in the hands
of the territorial legislature. W^ith
seventy percent of the territorial
revenues coming from the fisheries
it is not doubted but what the ter
ritory will safeguard the great in
dustry. Unless it is done speedily
Alaska will have lost her great fish
eries to the everlasting disgrace of
the national government.—-Alaska

FACTS ABOUT OUR PRESIDENTS
Of the 27 men who have been
president of the United States, 14
were sons of farmers, 3 of clergymen,
2 of lawyers, 3 of merchants, 1 iron
manufacturer, 1 tanner, 1 consable,
1 statesman and 1 jurist.
Farmer’s sons evidently have a
better chance of occupying the whitg*
house than any others.
The last farmer’s son to attain the
presidency was Benjamin F. Harri
son.
The fathers of President Arthur,
Cleveland and Wilson were preach
ers.
Fifteen presidents were of English
descent; 1 Welsh, 3 Scotch, 6 Scoteh
Irish, and 2 Dutch.
Ten of the presidents were not col
lege graduates. They were: Wash
ington, Jackson, Johnson, Cleveland,
Van Buren. Taylor, Fillmore, Lin
coln, Johnson, and McKinley.
Nineteen presidents were lawyers
at the time of their election. Wash
ington and William Henry Harrison
were the only farmers ever elected.
The religious inclinations of the
chief executives varied considerably.
Eight were Episcopalians, 4 Unitar
ians, 7 Presbvterians, 2 Reformed
Dutch, 4 Methodist, 1 Disciple, and 1
Liberal. Garfield belonged to the
Disciples, Jackson was a Liberal
and Van Buren and Roosevelt, the
Reformed Dutch, and the two Adams,
Fillmore and Taft the Unitarians.
Some authorities claim that Andrew
Johnson was not a member of any
church but that his wife belonged to
the Methodist congregation.
Eight presidents were .born in Vir
ginia—Washington, Jefferson, Miadk
son, Monroe William Henry Harri
son, Benjamin Harrison, Taylor and
Wilson.
Siv presidents were Ohioans by
birth—Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ben
jamin Harrison, McKinley and Taft.
Buchanan and Cleveland were the
only bachelors elected president.
Cleveland married during his first
term, but Buchanan stuck it out for
life.
Cleveland was christened Stephen
Grover, Grant was named Hiram
I Ulysses, and Wilson, Thomas Wood
row.
Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley
were assasinated while in office.
Dick Lawrence, a house painter,
tried to kill Andrew Jackson at the
capitol in 1835. The pistol, however,
missed fire. After his retirement
from the presidency, Roosevelt was
painfully shot at Milwaukee.
William Henry Harrison was the
oldest president and Roosevelt was
the youngest. The former was 68
and the latter 42 at the time they as
sum office. Harrison broke all
records as to the number of children.
He was the father of six boys and
four girls. Rutherford B. Hayes ran
him a close second with seven sons
and one daughter.
Washington, Madison, Jackson and
Polk were never blessed with any
children.
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson
and James Monroe died on the
Fourth of July.
“Friday” is Woodrow Wilson’s
lucky day, and “13” his lucky num
ber. There are 13 letters in the
name of Woodrow Wilson.
It’s some times well not to start
out so far ahead of others that you
will be fagged out when they start
and you get left behind—but it’s just
fatal to wait so long that you will
be in the rear guard to start.
The only person who can con
vince folks that he really love his
enemies is the one who becomes so
attached to his bad habits that he
can’t quit.
t
THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
Friendship is nursed on the milk
of human kindness.
If folks didn’t have so much money
the cost of living wouldn’t be so
high.
Plenty of seats on the front row
of the water wagon at reduced
prices.
This is a mighty small wrorld for
the man who is afraid ■ of being
caught.
The secret of some men's popular
ity is that they never try to force it
on you.
Brotherly love is more perfectly
exemplified by performance than by
profession.
Some folks have a mistaken idea
that a guaranty improves the qual
ity of an article.
The person writh the most confi
dence in himself has the most con
fidence in others.
When a man knows he is being
flattered, he-flatters himself by try
ing to believe that it is deserved.
There are a lot of times when we
get more than we are entitled to—
and a whole lot more when we don’t.
We often wonder how some folks
get any pleasure out of life—and we
presume they wonder the same thing
about us.
Common occurences are said to
tract little attention, but every new
Mexican revolution gets into the
first page.
There comes a time in every per
son’s life when he imagines he is
going to have an attack of cancer
or appendicitis.
A headline in a daily says: “Cor
set Gives Correct Figure.” We’ll ad
mit that it can add to or subtract
from a woman’s appearance.
Some folks imagine they are im
pressing you with their strict atten
tion to duty when they are merely
making grouches out of themselves.
When his friends have pulled him
out of a scrape to keep him from
getting licked, a man acts ferocious
enough to clean up the whole town
ship.
There is no silver lining in the
cloud for the man who gets up at
4 o’clock in the morning to go fish
ing—and comes home after dark
without having had a bite.
FEDERAL HEP
SOLICITED FOR
MONTANA ROAD
RED LODGE, Mont., Aug. 20 (by
Associated Press).—Citizens of Car
bon county, Mont., have drafted a
resolution asking for federal aid for
the Red Lodge-Roscoe road, which is
a part of the Black and White trail
connecting Columbus, Mont. and
Cody, Wyo. The resolution points
out that this road is the connecting
link between the White and Yellow
trail which connects Cody with
Cheyenne, and that it is the only con
nection of the two trails of the Bear
tooth national forest. When approved
by the county commissioners of Car
bon county the resolution will be pre
sented to the state highway commis
sion and to the bureau of public
roads.

BREHMER DRUG COMPANY
OFFICIALS OF COPPER
RIVER RAILWAY TELL
OF TRIP TO ALASKA
As soon as the coal development
in the Bering fields -will furnish the
necessary tonnage a railroad will
be built on a spur to the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad to
get the product cheaply to tide
water, according to Stephen Birch
president of the Copper River &
Northwestern Railroad and aillied
corporations, who has returned from
an inspection trip to Seattle, accom
janied by E. T. Stannard, vice pres
ident; W. P. Hamilton and J. W.
Cutting.
Mr. Birch stated that there was a
shortage of labor extending from
Juneau to Latouche. He also said
both the railroad and the Latouche
mine were short of men, but he was
hopeful early closing of some of the
fisheries would relieve the situation
somewhat. Increased activity in all
Alaska industries look promising,
said Mr. Birch. He did not discuss
any of the future plans of his com
panies or speak of the present sur
plus stocks of copper.
Vice President Stannard spoke of
the increased demand for round trip
tickets to Alaska, indicating the
north is arousing increased interest.
He said there was nothing of unusual
interest to the people of the north
which he could make public at this
time. He said, however, he was
greatly pleased to again visit with
his old mining associates at Kenne
cott and Latouche, as well as to be
with Cordova friends.—Alaska Dis
