THE LEGION AND THE VOTE

The American Legion is to begi' next month a nation wide cam paign to get out the vote in No vember. The Legion doesn't care how the vote goes. and it is not concentrating upon candidates or issues. It's object is to increase the number df people who take the least part a conscientious citizen can take in the conduct of govern ment. As matters now stand, this is a popular government by a small minority of the qualified voters Only half the voters go to the polls, and in many cases the choice is determined by one-third of them.
 The Legion has entered an in teresting field. This unknown vote holds in it's power the destinies of the country, if it can be aroused to action. It could at one election overcome the political boss vote, which is herded to the polls to vote as ordered, and bring about a rad ical reform in every community where the government has fallen into the hands of corrupt men anG women.-Anchorage Times.

 In the years that are to come Alaska will need more and more first-class transportation facilities, for that country has rapidly come to the front as a vacation play ground for the tourists who take part in the annual trek" to the Pacific Coast. Like the rest of the Pacific Coast it's numerous see nic attractions are proving stronger magnet every year to those who seek pleasure and recre- ation in natures wonderland, the Pacific slope.
 Thus one finds that such ship ments as the above are simply in dicatiYe of what Alaska needs. and will need more and more in the flu ture-adequate transportation ia cilities to show the tourists in and around that great country.-Tour- ist Magazine.

IRONWOOD, Mich. Sept. 3D. The earth's grip was broken from the forty-three miners, which 1t held prisoners for live days. Trap ped a half-mile beneath the sur face by a eayein. which blocked the shaft of the Pabst mine, the men have been found safe except for hunger, as the only food they had was tea made out of the bark of beaehtree props used in bracing the tunnel, which was brewed by means of the head lights. Rescue teams carried food and light blan- kets and smoking materials to them, pending their removal to tho surface.
 The hero of the hour was George HaWes, safety expert of the Pull. man Company, who was first to reach the entombed men. He elambered back to the top of tho shaft, and soon the whole town was rejoicing. while homes prepar- ed to receive back husbands an6 sons thought lost.
