NED ROAD, IMPROVED
 MAIL SERVICE kENA|

A page from the past, the early days of Alaska, when men were red blooded, rip.snort'n men and women were few and far between, was waited to Seward with the arrival of c. w. Palmer, merchant at Kenai, who is now enroute to the States on bus mess matters, and also, to look around abit for this marks his first trip to the States in seven or eight years.
 Palmer is typical of those bluff, hardy, tough as a bull pioneers who put Alaska on the map Ever ready to share his last crumb, shirt or dol-' lar, Palmers many friends say they don't make 'em any better than he.
 When interviewed yesterday Mir. Palmer passed over a perfecto and remarked: "We don't need much down our way but it wouldn't make any of us feel bad if Seward can help us in securing a road which would con- meet up with Seward in some way. I would not want anyone to think I am complaining but We all could be made very happy providing the mail service was improved, both winter and summer"

RANK PARTISANSHIP

Any Alaskan who has taken time to wade thru the Con- "A gressonal Record during the recent session must have been impressed with the utter reckessness of state ment which has characterized many of the speeches the floors of both Houses.
 The debates have been shot thru with the rankest kind of partisanshp and to impartial observer it would appear that in their disregard of facts in the subordnation of the public welfare to political expedi- ency and in the wasts of valuable time thru irrelevant wnd-jammng, adherens of both major parties and their various factions have been about equally guilty
 Partisan political activity is inseparabe from our system of government, and when backed by honest diff ferences of opinion is not to be condemned But when supposed national leaders descend to the level of order to gain little political advantage it is nothing less than disgusting.
