ENCOURAGING CONFIDENCE.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS ARE
 DEMOCRATIC.

The sound drubbng administered to Bishop Can non and his tribe of maligners by the Vlrglma Democracy will cause rejoicing wherever people believe in the democratic principles of Jefferson. It demonstrates that in Virginia, for generations the very center of democratic thought Democrats are still democrats They refuse to accept dictaton from bigotry and would-be autocratc keepers Of the consciences of others They still stand for the separation of Church and State they did in the days of Jefferson.
 However there will be another test when the election takes place in the fall. The Republicans
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-09

and Hoover Democrats have united in the nomina- tion of Dr. William Brown, anti Smith Demo- crat" for Governor and will make terrific fight in the fall election The DemocatS are hoping that they will get enough Republican votes to offset the dsgrunted Democrats. On the other hand, a very strenuous effort will be made to enlist the church members of the State in similar light to the one they waged last year against Gov Smith which carried Virginia into the Republican col umn for the first time.

 It is perfectly safe for girl to marry for love if she gets no kick out of a mirror, would rather have her hands in the dish water than her foot on the accelerator, and prefers cooking for a church sup per to having swell feed at an | expensive roadhouse.

What DR.. Caldwell Learned
in AZ Years Practice

DR.. Caldwell watched the re-
suits of constipation for At years
and believed that no matter how
careful people are of their health
diet and exercise, constipation
will occur from time to time re-
CARELESS of how much one tries
to avoid it. Of next Importance,
then, is how to treat it when 1t
comes. DR.. Caldwell always was
in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known
as DR.. CaldWell'S Syrup PepSin,
is mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate
system and is not a habit form
ing preparation. Syrup PepSin
is pleasant-taSting, and young
Sters love it. 1t does not grippe.
Thousands of mothers have writ
ten us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He
did not believe they were good
for human beings to put into
their system. In practice OF AZ
years he never saw any reason
for their use when a medicine
like Syrup Pepsin will empty the
bowels just as promptly, more
Clearly and gently without grip
ing and harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation
1t robS your strength, hardenS
your arteries and brings on pre-
mature old age. Do not let a day
go by without a bowel movement.

Fifty-Nine Students Graduate

Contrasting sentiments mingled a,

when the traditional note of farewell
ranked equal with that of home
coming. F. A. Woodward, former as

Making the most of their initial oppor-
tlnity to conduct such a function in
an adequate auditorium of their own,
McKinley,s faculty and students had
made elaborate preparations, which
were reflected in the carefully lighted
and furnished stage and in the entry

here" Mr.. Woodwards address bore
none of the formal attitude generally
assumed by commencement speakers.
Instead, he chatted with the graduates
about old times; of the days he had
advised them, disciplined them, worked
with them and played with them,
during the years of their course pre-
ceding his departure from the school
at the conclusion of the 1929 school
year last June. He reviewed the tradi-
tons of 'Tech" and urged the gradu-
ates to uphold those traditions in their
future lives in schools of higher learn
ing, the professions, business or what
ever field they may enter.

PROGRESS AND ALASKA.

In his brief talk at the C-.amoer of Commerce banquet recently given in honor of himself ana members of the Ninth Alaska Legislature Gov George A. Parks made some pertinent and timely sugges- tions about Alaskans keeping their morale up to higher point It has been his personal experience, and others have reported a similar one that one of the first questions asked of Alaskans when they are travelling abroad is Just what is wrong with Alaska, why is it your country doesn't seem to go ahead?'
 Perhaps he was not far frosn the point when he tentatively assigned the cause as local pessimism, It is true that there has been tendency of late years to restrict our view of conditions too narrowly with the result the substantial growth in many in dustres has either been missed or forgotten As the Governor pointed out there has been @ great improvement in all kinds of transportation. Steam ship companies have provided modern well-equipped and reasonably speedy vessels for the accommoda- tion of the travelling public They compare favorably with any vessels operating similar routes. There is the Copper River (& Northwestern Railroad and the Alaska Railroad, the former built and operated by private capital and the latter by the Federal Government. There isn't a community of any con- sequence that hasn't more or less highway and the mileage is increasing yearly. Forests have been cleared homes built and fields cultivated on lands that 20 years ago were primeva wilderness, Islands dotted with fur-farms. The reindeer industry is growing by leaps and bounds. The airplane has come to stay and this most modern method of trans poration is whiting Alaskan differences to mere fractions of the measurements of 20 years ago.
 It is true that the past decade has not witnessed any great industrial advances such characterized the winning of the vest" But the Territory is being developed under different theories that require more or less experimentation Natural conditions are not identical.

Jack Rabbits Speed.
Olympia Olympian.)

How fast does a jack rabbit travel when he really puts his mind to it? Mark Twain used to assert that the Jack rabbit could outdstance desert gale if he chose to- Of all the animals of the plain, he said only the coyote could give the jack rabbit race The ease with which of these picturesque, long, -eared rovers outdistanced one of Mark Twains best dogs apparently left deep impression on the famous humorists mind
 Westerner recently driving along country road in an auto when jack rabbit popped up in front of him and began lopng along just ahead of his car For several miles it kept this up, staying in front without effort when the car reached speed of 35 miles hour. At last it turned aside-not winded but simply satiated with the game.
 So we have that much of gauge, at least Thirty-fve miles hour for rabbit it no mean speed And evidently the creature had more in reserve.
