ALASKA, WHERE REAL
 AMERICANS LIVE,
 MRS. SMITH |S T0LD
LOCAL VISITOR FROM AMERICAN FALLS, IDAHO, WOULD LIKE
 TO REMAIN

Mrs. Eva Beach Smith, visitor in Seward for the last two weeks, is the author of the following article in which she describes quite interesting ly, Alaska impressions.
 The article.
 "In Alaska a grea: number of people know my little home town of Ameri- can Falls, Idaho is on the map. They also know the government chose this place to build a huge dam and the pretty little town will soon be a stor- age lake for irrigation uses.
 "We citizens had to sell our homes or move them to a new townsite, away from our green lawns, flowers and trees. The question was, should we move or seek a new location?' I decided to look Oregon and Alaska over before deciding. At the Yu- kon dock in Seattle, had the plea sure of meeting Dr. Whiting and during our conversation expressed my feeling of being trifle uneasy going so far away; it seemed to me I was leaving America. He replied, The fact is you are now going where the real Americans live, the best Americans we have live in Alaska We then talked of Rex Beach and his wonderful books, his keen mind to see into the depth of the things need ed by the Alaskan people. At the end of our visit, I was eager to get one glimpse inside the Gateway of AL aska
 My trip on the Yukon was very pleasant. The stewardess was very efficient woman, and made everything pleasant for me during the entire voy- age At Ketchikan, I was sorry to part with Mrs. Mitchell, a lumber mans wife who told me many fine things of interest about the town and the points of interest to see during the time the boat was to stay at the dock
 ''The canneries proved to be very interesting.
 At Juneau I went to the top of Capitol Hill. The view is one never to be forgotten, the boats going up and down the beautiful bay and the most gorgeous sunset I have ever witnessed.
 At Cordova the stewardess and I went ashore to have look at Cor dova which impressed us very much. We followed path up into the woods and picked blueberries. We met the boat barber who was tending his pri- vate garden spot where he raises flowers for Ollie Olsen's grave. This started me to gathering speci- mems to send home to my mother Martha E. Beach who is now trying to start a new yard in the town of American Falls, Idaho. So I expect to see Alaska ferns and shrubbery growing there when I return. At the top of this woodland path above Cor dova is a beautiful lake. Water lilies ferns, and green moss are growing along the edge of the water. As you descend the view is magnificent thru openings in the green trees where you could see the beach, the beauti-

A MARTYR FOR THE CAUSE OF RIGHT

The entire nation has been shocked by the
wanton killing of Don r. Mellett, youthful
crusading editor of The Canton (O.) Daily
News. Officials and citizens agree that the
murder was thrust at the very vitals of law
and order.
Like captain leading his forces in battle,
Mr. Mellett has fallen martyr to a system
which in too many places in this country is
getting a strangle hold upon government.
Vice runs rampant in hundreds of cities and
towns in America. Nearly every day we read
that public officials, charged with the enforce
ment of all laws, have been arrested and ex-
posed for grating or laxity in office.
Corruption in public office should not be
tolerated Don Mellett, born fighter, stood
alone for weeks in his battle to rid the city of
Canton of thieving office-holders, rum-run-
ners, drug peddlers, gamblers and gunner. A
brave and courageous editor, shot down, the
victi moi towards who were afraid to fight
him fairly.
Now-too late to save Don Mellett's life
Canton rises in indignation. Canton realizes
more forcibly now what Mellet was fighting
for and why he was fighting
The Mellett murder is strong proof that
good citizens, in all cities, should rally to the
active support of newspaper editors and Of
fcials who have the courage to defy the pow
ers of evil. Crusading editors usually have
the mere approval of the better element of
their communities, but not much active, virile,
efficient encouragement and assistance. In
difference on the part of the citizenry only
serves to help the vice rings.

Farm Wives On Vacation

The head of the home demonstra-
ton section of the college of agricul-
ture at the University of Kentucky
has been TO ra long time telling farm
women what to do and how to do.
This summer she has interested her
self in getting demonstration workers
and women's organizations to do
something for farm women in turn.
She proposed vacation camps for the
tired farm women, ten counties re-
spending. The camps have been To-
Gated on rivers or lakes or creeks.
One iron-clad rule is to leave husband
and children at home. The next is
no cooking allowed by those on vaca-
ton. Last year one county used this
vacation plan but this year with ten
counties interested there will likely
be $500 women in all enjoying what
is for some the first vacation from
house cooking and care of children in
their whole married life. The camp
season lasts from June 20 to August
81 in ailotments of one week for each
woman.

LOOKS LIKE GENE TALMADcE

Following the retirement of j. H. Mills from
the race for Commissioner of Agriculture
comes news Tuesday concerning similar action
by John Irwin of Sandersville. few others
ought to get out of this race, leaving the field
to Gene Talmadge VS.. the machine - Mr.
Brown. This would be the safest way to de-
throne the present undesirable administration
From all accounts Mr.. Talmadge of Telfair
is decidedly the strongest man in the field, and
all opposition to the machine candidate should
concentrate on this we'll known Georgian with
a determination of defeating, and putting out
of office the present reckless, wasteful forces
who are operating at fearful expense to the
people of Georgia. Concentration on one
man is the only way to put an end to this mis-
rule.
In retiring from the race Tuesday Mr.. Irwin,
referring to the Brown machine, expressed the
belief that through Eugene Talmadge the State
might get rid of "this political monster which
for thirty years has throttled legislation"
Let's rally to the support of one man-Gene
Talmadge-and put an end to this public
waste, this pernicious political machine which
is bleeding the people.-Columbus Ledger.

EVENTUALLY-WHY NOT NOW

Democratic political developments indicate
that the movement to abolish the two-thirds
rule in the nomination of candidates il nat
ional conventions has been blocked.
Despite determined statements of Demo-
cratic leaders from the East and North that
the system should be eliminated, word .seeps
out of Washington that the "solid South" is
point blank against the plan.
The opposition has developed into such pro-
portions, it is said. that the Democratic nat
ional committee, which had planned to meet
next December to kill the rule, has decided to
abandon its proposal for change. Instead
the question probably will be put up to the
next convention.
The two-thirds rule should be killed by all
means. 1t is contrary to all the true'spirit- OF
democracy All forward-looking Democrats
should insist that it be abolished. Unless
change comes, we can expect another farcicaI
nominating marathon.

Brilliant Minds

The death of Israel Zangwill this

more as a statesman and orator. He
received the highest honors his coun-
try could give him, Notwithstanding
the prejudice still felt for his race.
He was especially brilliant in repartee
and one retort of his spontaneously
provoked is cited as perhaps the wit
tiest answer ever recorded in the
English language. At alstate dinner
in London Disraeh was introduced to
an Egyptian prince who with pointed
