diligence of the readers of T. R.,
promising them that next weeks
issue will more than make up for the
laxity of today's paper.

FIRST HAT IS IN THE RING.

The first hat to be thrown into the ring for the 1928 political campaign in Alaska was heaved all the way from Nome by Senator Bartley Howard, who announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Delegate to Congress. In his statement he said that he had conferred with the people during extensive trip through out the Territory and convinced that they desire a change in the office of Delegate to Congress- He found the people he said, con vinced that a Delegate in Washington with a consistent constructive policy rather than pol icy of continuous agitation and opposition levi dently describing the present Delegate and his policyl could obtain great results for Alaska.
 Senator Howard said that if elected he would "endeavor to carry out constructive policy for the development of Alaska such as he believed he had advocated as President of the Territorial Senate at the last session."
 Senator Howard halls from Anchorage and is in the coal mining business. He is man of good ability and considerable business exper- ience He was elected to the Territorial Senate as a Republican, and has always been stanch supporter of the principles and candidates Of that party

DESTRUCTION OF TARIFF WALLS
 SEEMS INEVITABLE.

The subtility of Ivy Lees propaganda makes it difficult at times to discern it's real parentage
 Likewise in the beginnings of one of his clever campaigns to direct public opinion into chosen channels, the objective is often obscured How ever the metropolitan newspapers have concluded that Mir Lee has set out to prepare the Amerl- can public for a worldwide destruction of tarin walls and to lead it to accept as inevitable that when the general crushing operation begins our own wall must go into the mill with the others The circumstance that the start of Iyv's campaign has been identified as preceding the recent pronouncement against high tariffs unanimously adopted by the International Cham her of Commerce at Stockholm at which the United States represented, is believed to make it clear that he represents the so-eaed international Bankers and Wall Street" These interests it is believed, are being in auenced by a desire to increase markets for American surplus products, like copper, steel foodstuns, automobiles. machinery, etc, and to make trade that would insure the payment of interest and dividends on American investments abroad The American investments abroad, in- cluding the debts owing to the United States Government exceed s25,0O0,0o 900. They are increasing at rate exceeding $100,000,000 a month A reasonable annual return on these investments. to say nothing of repayment of principal. would be at least $1,25o,ooo,ooo.
 That the smashing of tariff walls is one of the certainties of the future would seem to be so plain that he who runs may read. That the United States as the greatest creditor nation and the producer of the greatest quantity Of surpus products for the markets of the world, ought as matter of sound business, lead the nations toward freer trade seems equally plain

A Reform that Has Paid.
(New York World.)

Measured in cold economic advantages the Iron Trade Review finds that the eight-hour day in the steel industry has paid At the time of the 1919 strike and for three years afterward Judge Gary and experts of the Iron and Steel Institute presented pages of figures to show that the industry could not give up the tweve-hour day or twenty y-four-hour shift. For more than 8 year after President Harding asked reconsid- eration of the issue, and after public opinion had decisively asserted itself, the Steel Corporation held out Now we read that wages have held firm; that steel prices have rendered downward; and that the Steel Corporation has remanied astonishingy prosperous We read of invisible gains. Labor turnover has grown less and less Men work better:
 Steel-mill executives hold that with
 the eight-hour day has come greater
 employee efficiency. Whether this can
 be measured in dollars and cents of
 course, is not clear. It is cer-
 tain however that the increased eff
 eiency of employees and the apparent
 added contentment in the ranks of steel
 organizations have resulted in econ
 omies in operations in many lines.
 This is quite apart from the social gain which President Harding had in view He voiced the public condemnation of a system which held tens of thousands of immigrant workers in theil shops, without time for Americanzation or edu cation and at great risk to health. It would have been worth while to give up the system at money loss That it has meant money gail simply bears out the predictions of far-sigthee economists.

HOOVER HAS BEST POSITION IN THE
 RACE.

Charles Nicholson, writing in the New York World says Speaker Longworth would be the Republican Presidential nominee if it were left to Congress. He says, further, that he has by far the largest and strongest personal following of any of those who mentioned for the Presi- dency But he says. Longworth is wet in dry State and both the Ohio Senators, dry as finder to the bone Fess and Willis, are out gunning for delegates each for himself, but both against Longworth.
 He says yice-President Dawes is in much the same position Speaker Longworth. Dawes might carry Illinois in direct primary, thinks Nicholson but he has elected to tie his candidacy as heir by will to that of former Gov. Lowden He will not, says Nicholson, file his declaration of candidacy in those States where Lowden will he running And. in Illinois, the two most powerful machines those of Gov. Small and Mayor Thompson, are against Lowden. He thinks if likely that the Illinois delegation will go as a compromise to Senator Deneen
 With Speaker Longworth and Vice-President Dawes entering the convention without theil own States they will be heavily handicapped that their chances for success will be much impaired.

Who Is the Piargiarist?

Canadian gentleman, one William Smp- son, accuses Benny Benson, designer of the flag which adopted by the last Legislature the official flag Of Alaska, of plagiarism The gentleman from Canada claims he submitted a design for flag, embracing the great dippe1 and the north star, in contest inaugurated by the Native Sons of Canada two years ago and that Benny stole it. We don't believe Benny ever saw the flag design submitted by his ac- cuser, that he borrowed it for the Alaska contest, nor can we where either is entitled to any great credit for originality, inasmuch as the Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, has used the great dipper-norh star design in its seal for some years.

Your Town and You.
(Hyder Herald. )


 Your town boosts you. Why not do as well by the town as it does by you? No citizen is so powerful, humble, but what the town is an and to him in way other. The food that he eats the clothes he wears, the re- creation and amusement that he enjoys, all originate in the town, because the money with which they are procured is made there When fellow boosts his own town he does not stop there. He is performing an act that improves his own condition, for every good word and every good deed has its elevating influence. A few people are always home town boosters They accomplish much in the way of community bet terment, and this improves the condition of not only themselves but also of those who do no boosting at all If every citizen would constitute himself home town booster the result col llectively would be many times as great, and op- portunities for self improvement would be num- erous.
 Think it over in your odd moments. Then get into the boost wagon and hit the pace.
