Thomas A. Marquam
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
For Delegate from Alaska

In his nearly thirty years residence in Alaska Mr..
Marquam has shown himself to be considerable boos-
ter for the Territory whose word is as good as
his bond, friend Of the under dog whose cause he
has refused because the client had no money:
He has played fair with all men.
Mr.. Marquam stands equally well at Washington
in Alaska. If he is elected Delegate, Alaska will
never have to flood Washington with kilograms,
denying false and libelous statements circulated by
her representative, attacking the fair name Of the
Territory and it's people,
vote for Marquam is vote for progress; vote
for him is vote for booster, for one who can and
will get results.

 The truth about the British coal industry has been well brought out since the controversy started. That it Is a remarkably inefficient in dustry, relying upon decrepit equip ment for the most part, lacking in progressive ideas, and devoid of elementary efficiency, is generally admitted. But in England there is a large element which thinks what was good enough for our grand fathers is good enough for the present generation. Churchill, a demon for action Of a sort, failed to end the strike; Baldwin, a suave gentleman who wishes to please everybody, likewise has failed. One tenth Of the miners have returned to work under regional agree ments. the other nine-tenths are demanding a national agreement
 Meanwhile winter and the need for plenty of coal comes on and the strike still remains unsettled. John Bull is no longer merely muddIing; he is in the mire, waist deep.

THE BRITISH MINE fMPiSSI

Refusal of the British miners to come to an agreement to return to work reminds the world that the mine strike is still thing of gaunt reality. Perhaps some observers thought, in view Of the ending of the general strike, that the mine strike likewise would wobble to a speedy termination. But despite the efforts of the Baldwin ministry to ameIiorate conditions and bring about a peaceful settlement. the miners are still finding il more convenient 10 refrain from work ing the pits.

THE SESQUI LOSS

It must have been with a hard gulp that Mayor Kendriok of Philadelphia admitted that the Sesquicentennial exposition was huge financial failure. Yet from the start no other outcome seemed probable. It was only the dominat- ing determination of the Philadel- phia mayor to put through the ex- position, opening it when a large number of the buildings were not yet completed. that started it upon the road to ruin this year instead of waiting until next year, as had been suggested. From what we now know, however. il is doubtful whether the exposition would have been more of a success in 1927 than in 1926. Conditions apparent ly have changed from the days of the Columbian exposition, the St. Louis Worlds Fair, and the others that are history.
 Instead Of an estimated at tendance of 25,0oo,OoO people, the Sesqui has only had 5,000.O00 peo- pie go through the gates. This would indicate a remarkable lack of interest by the public in such affairs. Can this possibly be blamed upon the automobile, or does 1t mark a change in the public atti- tude toward such affairs?
 Perhaps one of the main reasons underlying the failure has been the opinion generally held that the Sesqni was not really a worlds fair, but merely glorifed sectional event, although it purported to be an international exposition. There have bean a number of sectional eXposLtions - the Jamestown ex- position, the san Diego exposition just before the war, the Pan- American exposition, and so forth. But they were fairly successful events, It remained for a large city like Philadelphia to make the big gest failure Of them all.
 Yet, from all accounts, the Ses- qui is well worth anyone's time. Its beauty and general attractive ness is awc-lnspiring. But outside of the prizofght held in the arena, there has been nothing of an out standing novelty.
 Those vho expect to go to the Philadelphia exposition need not deter themselves over the fact that it has been a financial failure. This has nothing to do with it's general interest to those who visit the grounds. It may mean that the Philadelphians are giving the pub lie more than their moneys worth and are losing heavily in the pro- cess.

WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS
 REPORT

The annual report Of the Welfare Association. given by Cora NJ. Beale, again opened the minds of citizens to the splendid work being done in this city to relieve the vi cissitudes of the unfortunate, how men and women are imbued with renewed hope through the instru- mentality of the association, and how families are kept intact through periods of economic dis tress.
 In an ideal state of society the ministrations of such an organiza- ton would not be necessary; but society Is not yet ideal, and the immediate future. although possi- ply tending toward higher aver age and level Of prosperity for the majority of citizens, does not yield the hope that diversity will be done away with entirely.
 So long as human frailty leads to economic helplessness, so long as the slings and arrows of bad fortune dog the footsteps of man, and so long as such untoward pos abilities as a breakdown in health and earning power lays low an oc- casional breadwinner, so long will an organization like the Welfare Association and all other organi- cations engaged In similar lines Of activities - be a necessity.
 Poverty is of hideous mlen, and 10 date in the history of the world no nation, however rich, has been able to eradicate it. It Is a subject for philosophers and economic pro- fessors. perhaps, who can apply thought to the statistics; but in the world of practical affairs poverty is question that confronts our Welfare Associations
 '- Society, Of course, has a duty to perform to every member thereof. It cannot permit anyone 10 starve, or to be devoid Of the necessary comforts of life. Particularly is this so in view of the fact that ill., fortune Is not always due 10 per sonal incapacity or to lack of abil- ity to gain q Livelihood Who has not heard Of the man, able and willing to work" who has been unable 10 find employment during times of stress? Who has not heard Of the man. or woman, try ing 10 bring up bevy Of young- sters, who failed when sickness knocked at the door? There are innumerable other reasons under lying want and distress, and it is well to have organizations whose business fl is 10 rehabilirate man kind over such periods.
 IL is logical in the scheme Of things from any standpoint. The Welfare Association is entitled to the thorough appreciation of all he public. It is doing a work that must be done, and be done cfruc- lively; and-it Is meeting this re- dmrement with conspicuous sue cess.

GIVING THE RAILROADS ADVICE THEY NEED

ADtICE THEY NEED
 Years ago the railroads were told by a gentleman of prominence that If they exercised the right kind Of economy in operation they could save huge total of money every year, His advice vas prompt ly pooh-poohed as that of an im- practical dreamer and an idealist.
 Today, however, the railroads have exercised that sort of economy In operation and are saving quite as much as was indicated.
 Several years ago critics Of the railroads pointed out they could develop profitable business by run- ming cheap weekend excursions. The railroads had run such excur- sions two decades ago but discard ed them on the advice of their experts" For the past year they have been returning to the week end excursion system and have found It remarkably profitable. The equipment used would be idle over the weekend anyway and putting 1t into use in this manner brings in just so much velvet"
 Score another for the railroad critics - really their we'll -wishers.
 When the bus lines developed the railroads were told they ought to be running busses along the short lines, or for local traffic, but instead they set about trying to fight the busses. Ultimately, how ever, seeing the folly of 1t, they began running busses, as originally advised.
 Score another for the railroad critics.
 When the truck business devel- oped - local and interstate - the railroads were advised they had better begin using busses for short hauls, and that they had better ar range for a door collection and de- livery system where practicable. But the railroads for a time began fighting the truck business, and to some extent are at it yet. Some of the more wise heads in the rail- road business, however, have seen the light and are using trucks to greater advantage every year. This development is expected 10 expand rather than diminish.
 Score another for the critics.
 A month or so ago Editor George Harvey of the North American Re view printed an article regarding Murder on the Railroads" point Ing out how delinquent they were toward putting in automatic train signals after the national law specifically called upon them to do so. Innumerable railroad presidents have risen themselves upon their launches and are claiming rail- reading is safe, etc. The fact is, however, that the automatic signals are safe and they will eventually have to be adopted on all the lines.
 The same objection was heard in the sos and 9O's against the Use of automatic couplers. instead of continuing the old nd-couplers. But the dangerous hand couplers had to be discarded nevertheless, despite the heavy expense attached thereto and today large part of those living do not remember the time when there were hand coup lers on each coach and freight car.
 The railroads are progressive - Up to certain point. Beyond that they have to be pushed along amid strenuous objections. Most of the improvements they have made has been forced upon them from the outside. This being their natural state, force from the outside, through governmental authority when necessary, will continue 10 be supplied.

LIGHTNING HITS TREE

Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct 9 P) - Ben Franklin drew electricity from the clouds to the key on his kite string, but forest supervisors would like to have some inventive genius discover how to get rid of it.
 Lightning holdovers" caused sew eral fires in the Coconino national forest during the forest fire hazard season, as they did in other parts of the west, destroying thousands of acres of valuable timber and draw ing men from other pursuits to fight the flames.
 Lightning generally hits these trees in out f-the-way places, invis- ible from the lookout's tower. The fire will shoulder along for a few days, waiting for a stiff breeze to fan it to the other trees, and before it is discovered, several acres Of good timber will have burned.
