THE CANDIDATES BEST RECoM- MENDATiON

Sometimes a mans best recommen- dation is the enemies he has made We can hardly say of the Republican nominees that they have made ene- mics, for they seemed to have lived so uprightly and dealt so justly both in their public and private lives that they have escaped the enmities which usually fall to the lot of those in high places. Both candidates are men who are loved by men of all parties alike, just as there are well known men prominent in the Democratic party who are we'll loved by their Republi- can cOmpatriots.
 However, we are not referring to personal animosities, but to the atti- tude of the foreign press with refer ence to the nominees and, naturally, chiefly toward Senator Harding. We refer to the comments of the foreign press in Berlin, in London, in Vienna, in Paris, in Tokyo.
 In each of these cities the papers have something to say derogatory of the candidates. The London papers advise the Democrats that they now have chance to elect their candi- dates, a chance which seemed very re- mote heretofore Berlin papers fear that they will have lost a friend in President Wilson and will find in President Harding one who will not be so complaisant. One and all fear that under President Harding, they will not find it easy to lure the United States into financing the League of Nations nor assuming a share of the expenses of Epuropean nations in the conduct of the war They fear that he will be for America First and not for any hifaluting international idealism. They realize that there will be no 'visions' by visionaries in the presidential chair while it is occupied by President Harding.
 Further, there will be no doing away with economic barriers, but on the contrary, there will be barriers raised against the unfair competition in American markets of Iow-labor cost foreign products.
 It is not true of Senator Harding that he is an enemy of any of the other countries, any more than it is true that Americans, as a nation, are unfriendly Americans and the future President of this country have only good will toward foreign nations. We desire to maintain friendly rela- tions with all. That does not mean, however, that we are to neglect our own interests and allow others to dom- mate us either politically or econom- ically. No foreign nation has ever as- sumed such an attitude toward the

hundred, there are at least six hun dred children. This is the greatest community we know of for children. Being 8 strictly home town, most every one here has family that lives here.-Douglas News.
 The job of editing a small town paper is indeed as simple and delight ful task as one can imagine. Here in Nome, for instance, the editor, who by the way does the work of gather ing and preparing the news single handed, is expected to get the full de- tails of every incident or happening large or small and take a generous "cussing" if he don't get it exactly right. Isn't 1t smiple, childish job? No wonder that almost everyone knows how to run a newspaper and could easily do it much better than the fellow who is on the job!-Nome Nugget.

ALASKA ADVISORY REPORT
 GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

We have received a copy of the re- port of the Alaska Advisory Commit tee submitted to Secretary of the In terior and signed by Alfred H. Brooks, E. A. Sherman. It is document of about 4,800 words and rehashes the stale s1cial and industrial history of Alaska, some of the subheads being Population, Industries and Commerce, Value of Commerce, Mining, Fisher ies, Farming and Stock Raising, Tim Der Resources, Reindeer, Furs, Trans. portation divided into Water, Wagon Roads and Trails, Wood Pulp, Water Power, Agriculture and Grazing, Pub licity, Mail Service, and so on. It is old stuff with which all interested are familiar.
 AS was to be expected, this lengthy report very largely goes over the same ground covered by various re- ports of the past twenty years. The Post Office Department is exonerated, when in point of fact through MT. Praeger's office at Washington, it is responsible for the inferior mail ser vice. The Department of the Inter for is Whitewashed, when in point of fact it has been responsible at all times for the lack of industrial devel- Opment in many ways too numerous to mention. The Forestry service is white-Washed, when that bureau is ab- solutely and exclusively responsible for the pail of conservation that has stifled Alaska since the withdrawals of 1906, and as long as that condition remains, no matter what takes place in the way of Investigating commit, tees or recommendations, there can be no change in Alaska.
 Lumber and wood pulp industries are advocated, for example, but any man or corporation would be fit only for incarceration in an insane asylum were he or it to establish any indus, try in Alaska having for it's basic pro, duct the forests of the reserves, or under the present conditions which make it impossible to develop any numbering or wood pulp industry.
 The principal recommendations up in brief form are:
 1. Lowering of ocean freight and passenger rates and improvement of transportation and mail service through economies introduced by com bination of two existing steamship lines into one.
 2. Concentration and coordination of federal control of Alaska lands and resources by obtaining legislative authority for an Alaska Development Board and, pending this, by the ap- pointment of an Inter-Department Alaska Committee.
 3. Coordination Of federal road construction, and the development of plan for comprehensive system of roads and trails to serve the entire territory Also the requesting of an appropriation of at least one million

California is Dragging over the con- ing nut crop. While we hate to take our sister down a peg, we can safely state that the size of Alaska's nut crop is only limited by the popu1a- tion. The Bristol Bay district in par ticular is where old man Nut first started operations, and the crop has never yet been winter killed, requir- ing three deputy marsha1s, one steam ship and U. s. commissioner to handle it.-Valdez Miner.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-07-16

The Democratic and near-D5mo- cratic newspapers which say they do not know what the Republican na- tional platform means surely ought to be able to conclude from reading it that at least it does not endorse the present national administration.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-07-16
 THE DIFFERENCE

Under representative government the people may own the state; under socialism the state will own the peo- pie.
 Under representative government success may be made a matter of push, under socialism it will be a matter of pull.
 Under representative government the politicians may be made to"work for the people, but under socialism the people will be compelled to work for the politicians in power
 We'll, there's going to be a "great and solemn referendum" all right; great for the Republicans and solemn for the Democrats.

ton was general. due to slow demand
for the cash article. Confidence has
been shaken by the decline, and little
buying is noticeable except on the
part of shorts.
Corn-TCorn was lower from the
start, receipts being large and buying
support poor. There are. however,
two features to the situation which
may turn the market around this
level. Advices of shipment from the
country are small and the market is
on an export basis. Eighty thousand
bushels were sold today at the sea-
board.
Oats-Oats were supported early
by commission houses with eastern
connections, but finally followed the
way of wheat and corn and lost more
than 1 cent net. The present price
for oats means heavy feeding and is
likely to discourage heavy marketing.
Provisions-Provision were heavy,

DEMOCRATS DESERT COX.
Wilson OfficehoIder Will Vote For
Harding and Coolidge.


Washington, Oct. 4.-The split be-
tween the administration and Gov
ernor Cox was emphasized Sunday
when Maj Benedict Crowell, n close
friend of President Wilson. who, I'M
til July ], was an assistant secretary
of war. declared himself in favor of
Harding and Coolidge
Now that President Wilson is re-
firing from active political life II is
of the situation" said Mai Crowell
II have always favored league OF
nations and am sorry we did not en-
ter It long ago. The democrats par
ty, however, has no monopoly on the
league.
Harding Wisely Silent"
1.-THE democratic administration
failed to get this country into the
league in spite OF the fact that 7L
per cent of the senate favored It.
Nor does opposition to the league lie
wholly within tho republican party,
many prominent democrats having
opposed it.
Governor Cox is making many
promises regarding the league which,
he may not be able to fulfill. Sena-
tor Harding Is wisely noncommlttal
World affairs are changing SO rapid
~ 1t is impossible for any man to say
just what should be done six months
hence to make United States influ-
enee effective In n world concert.
Senator Hardings election will,
believe, insure more efficiency than
the election of Governor Cox, who
has been compelled to accept sup
port from certain members of the
present administration Who could
contribute little strength to the next
edu1inistra ton"

from Europe on the Imperator said
the Wilsonian policies did not ex-
press the true sentiments OF de-

are founded" and that their contin-
uance as the policies of the nation
would be ''inimical to the best inter-
ests of the people that form the
backbone of the nation"
