Official reports showed dearth Of SUBJ
soil moisture to be general throughout

corn market contributed further to
wheat upturns, which at times went

Advances, however, failed to hold well
in the face Of indications Of ccmpar-
ative pause in North American export
business.
Scantiness Of futare delivery offerings
on price setbacks brought support to
the corn market. Primary receipts of
corn totaled only $4,000 bushels,

many dlatrlDeS made agalnSJ the QOmlnaClOn of Alaska by Indian votes. William L. Paul was eft accused of dictating the votes of the Indians o1 the First Division and every effort made to destroy the solidarity of that vote which has stood like Republican Rock of Gibraltar. It would be a good thing if the people of the Terri tory would stop and analyze the vote in Alaska.
 In the First Division, it is generally admitted that about 800 Indians cast their ballot for Re- publican candidates. The Democrats have whit tied off about sixty votes in KlaWock and about fifty in Metlakatla- and they proud of their achievement that they are not one bit ashamed of accepting the ignorant, illiterate vote" from those precincts.
 As near as we can find out, there than 1,500 Indian votes in the Third and Fourth Dvisons-a large share of which votes at the dic- tate of the bosses. It is told that in Kodiak, when Marquam was running for Delegate to Congress, his henchmen got more than 40 voters to put TX" opposite his name under the belief that they indicating the need of school house. No where in the First Division such a trick be played upon the Indians for they know what they voting for and who In the Second Division, have been told, the Eskimos have mt keen allowed to vote, despite the fact that many of them are intelligent educated men. Pc:- haps the powers that be in the Second fear the power of the ballot if they permit the Eskmos to exercise their rights of citizenship
 The question now that every thinking citizen should ponder upon seriously is, What makes it right for the Democrats to vote Indian electors in the Westward precincts and wrong for the Re- publicans to hold together their Indian voters in the First Division? And, if the Republican pre- cinct captains challenged the Indian voters in the Westward precincts, what effect would it have on the turn of elections? Then, Would the Demo- c:ats take kindly to the challenging of the votes of their electors? Let the Democratic leaders who have bought Indian votes in Westward pre- cincts with old shoes, answer these questions-if

ARE THEY DICKERING?


 possibility of President Hoover appointing Judge J. Stanley Webster to the Circuit Court to fill the vacancy created by the recent death of Judge Frank H. Rudkin, raises the query, Are they Gickering"?
 Frank Bell private secretary to Senator C. C. Dill, offers the novel prediction that Congress- Sam B. Hill will be named
 The novelty lies in the fact that Congress- Hill is Democrat whereas the appointment must be made by a Republican President Senator Dill, of course is Democrat, one of the most persistent and blatant foes of the Republican ad~ n1inistration. His secretary, Mr. Bell, no doubt shares the preferences and prejudices of the boss Just how this combination can effect the appoint n1ent predicted by MT. Bell is something of puz- zle"
 It is an old political adage that to the victors belong the spells. We have oft wondered during the past ten years if this adage were not a lot of bunk. We have seen Republicans in power naming and supporting Democrats for office; we have seen men, out and out Democrats, step into offices vacated by Republicans "by resignation,' and the Democrat remain in office through all the years We have seen men appointed by the Republican national administration support elective candi- dates who oppose every principle of Republican, ism and as reward for their efforts to destroy the integrity and entity of the Republican party, given political preferment.
 For what purpose such effort? Are they and have they been dickerng for political preferment? Are such actions going to continue indefinitely? If we sense the feeling of the Republican electorate and timber for appointive office we must say that unless this condition is changed party lines will he so destroyed that the electors will lose all faith in the party system
 We make the further observation that many Republicans who have heretofore been very loyal workers, have become dissatisfied with the gener- osty of Republican officeholders to the Democrats that they Qoyal Republicans) are stepping aside much disgusted and with little care whether or rot their party remains in power The incentive for solidarity being lost destroyed by the dick

seems quite q good step, and the writer knows,
for he walked it once, many years ago. But 1t
was worth the effort, for, after all, it was the

grabbing and the dancing made it so. The
beach was fine for Chesapeake Bay, with just
q very few big rocks here and there to skin
your shins on but these were soon located by
the bather and naturally thereafter avoided,
and If it was not sting-nettle season one could
spend q most delightful afternoon in the water.

in some cases this was impossible. Even the
