Virginia Salutes North Carolina.
lNeW York Pnsf

The story is told of a man who being asked where he came from replied From the vale of hum iliaton North Carolina which lies between those two mountains of concet, Virginia and South Carolina. :. There was rivalry enough between North Carolina and each of her two neighbors to efford basis for the epigram. They still contend which of them Carolina has condensed her claims into sentence:
 First at Manassas furtherest Gettysburg last at Appomattox It is somewhat surprising therefore to read a newspaper published in Virginia this tribute to North Carolina: "The simple fact is that North Carolina is far ahead of Virginia in almost everything except shrines of Colonial Revolutionary and Civil War history that the States are as our friendly enemies the English put it. not in the same street"
 What is the for this disparity? Answer- Ing it's own question: the Norfolk Ledger -Disna tcb explains that North Carolina has got away from tho old tradition that still holds Virginia in it's grasn the traditin that the well-to-do must not be 'pun- lshed' by the imposition of taxes the advance ment of the masses Hence the outcry against q bond issue for good roads, for instance The late Walter II. Page once said that it was a misfortune Tor North Carolina that the quarrel with Georea Ill happened to turn on the question of taxation 1t insilled great dread of all taxes B,lt North Carolina has succeeded in overcoming her dread of taxes to such an extent make Virginians
 ashamed, when conscious of it. of North Carolinas infinitely superior roads, her consid- eraply superior schools of her three times as great contribution to her State university. This is doing pretty we'll for State which only few years ago was near the bottom of the list in education

PAINT UP AND CLEAN UP

Juneau, March 10.
 To The Editor: Every spring we see a warning in the paper about cleaning up. We want the city to look nice to the tourists. That is fine, but I do not see anything about the Governors mansion or the Gov ernor's office Now, as the writer of this article happens to be an auto driver that takes the tourists over the city sightseeing, l know what I am talking about. When I tell the tourists that I will take them to see the Governor mansion and other places I mention, I generally get load but when I show them the mansion I am ashamed of it. have to tell them wfat they" are going to do. When u ey ask me to take them to the Governor office, I take them to a barn" which is called the Governor office" Not a word do 1 hear from the tourist un. til we come to the school house. which is the only building they are interested in. After they have seen lIt oON iOl Q LhihoiOht NO0AN hO'SNf city hall and others.
 Now, we have one of the best men that ever came to Alaska for our Governor; he is not only working hard for Juneau, but for the entire Territory as well. Why should not his house be painted and everything around the house beautified? If we cannot have a new Government build ing, why not paint up the old barn and at least make it look clean. l do not know how to get results, but those that do should get busy and see that the paint brush Is used free ly not only on the government build ings, but others as we'll. If you want others to speak we'll of Juneau, things should be brightened up so those that do wish to speak well of Juneau can be proud of what they are talking about and can inspire a feeling in those tourists that they will carry home with them.

JUNEAU AND THE FIFTH DIVISION

The Seward Gateway says First Division politics are manipuated" from Seattle That is far from correct There is probably section of Alaska over which Seattle has less influence than Juneau and the First Division. People in Alaska have for years ferred to Seattle the Fifth Division" Those who responsible for that statement probably familiar with the people living in Seattle who are most active in Alaska political matters. Can they mention more than single who formerly resided in Juneau the First Division? The fact that Ju- neau from the beginning has depended less for political ideas Seattle probably, than any other important town in the Territory

Senator Brookhart's Blocs.
(New York World ]


 Senator Brookhart's prophecy that Congress will soon be controlled by the farmers boc labor bloc, soldier bloc and q mothers bloc may be a pri- vate hope of the Senator's public promise or partisan threat
 But whatever else it is 1t is prescription for bringing our system of government to a stand still.x It is hard enough to work two-House Leg islatufe, plus independent Executive plus an in- dependent judiciary in Federal system with two parties. Whenever the two Houses and the President do not happen to belong to the party the Gov crnment at Washington is in the doldrums The checks and balance produce almost perfect paralysis.
 But under Senator Brookharts system no bloc would ever have a majority. The best it could hope Tor was to hold the balance of power among the other blocs, and the chances of finding bloc that would at enc and the time be in control of the Senate, House and Presidency is a problem that the Senator might well consider For he assumes that these bocs have divergent interests. Otherwise they would not be blocs. But blocs leaders And leaders have to make themselves conspicuous And therefore the only way to do business with blocs is to log-ron everything.

 ing municipal election.-t Cordova Wmes.)
 Why wouldn't it be good plan to elect the best available material you have to the Council regardless of sex or occupation anything else? Why intro duce the bloc system in municipal government? And why attempt to make a basis for bocs?
 Ih selecting municipal Councilmen members of a School Board members of Congress those for any office ought to be question of getting the very best public service possible There is no reason why sex should be involved in the matter at all. If a woman can be induced to accept public office wno would the people better than any man who could be induced to accept the office could would serve, then the should be chosen If it is the other way about, the man should be chosen.
 It is the justice of the conclusion that are entitled to equal standing with men in public matters that brought about suffrage, and to do that Is the purpose of suffrage legislation. The legislation is not in fact spirit treaty between different peoples calling for representation of those with conflicting interests. It is simply legislation to establish equality-to put and the footing. And that is where they They have the same interests exactly Why substitute sex bccs for this desireable situation?
