VOTE FOR MIR. TRUITT.

The independent candidacy of William Paul TOT Attorney General and his attack on Attorney-1en- eral John Rusgard have attracted attention to that office so that it has figured in the news than any office that is before the people of Alaska In the present contest except that for Delegate to Congress In past campaigns MT Paul has been a Republican but he says he is now running without a party He is centering his hardest attack on his Republican opponent. He has even gone so lar as to declare that James S. Truitt of Anchorage the Democratic nominee for the office, is fine gentleman and qualified for the position. He urges voters if they cannot vote for him, to cast their ballots for MT Truitt.
 However the point of this editorial is par tcuarly directed to the charge that MT. Paul is not qualified on account of residence for the office of Attorney General of Alaska. While The Empire holds no brief for MT Paul. it believes this charge is highly technical. If it is correct, and MT Paul should be elected and disqualified because he prac- ticed law in Seattle for time, it would be evidence of careless legislation MT Paul was born in Alaska and has lived most of his life here He served in the Alaska Legislature and has been active in Alaska affairs years. As matter of fact he IS citizen of the Territory and in every way, except possibly under technical legal provision qualified as far as residence is concerned for any office in Alaska.
 But the best solution of the Attorney General ship and the quarrel among Republicans over thai office for the voters to cast their ballots for MT. Truitt, the Democratic nominee. He is a long time resident of Alaska, a fine citizen man of the highest integrity and well qualified professionally and in every way for the office Those voters who wish to vote in such way as to defeat MT. Rust gard ought by all means to cast their ballots for MT. Truitt

c. o. P. TRYING TO REPEAT HANNA'S
 M'KINLEY CAMPAIGN. s

A recent letter from Chicago says the G. O. P. managers dumping money into that City in great amounts in effort to carry Illinois for Hoover It says in some of the big factories It IS made duty of each department head to provide a Hoover orator during the noon-day rest It reminds one it is said, of the Hanna campaign for Mckinley in 1896 However, the Roosevelt sentiment still prevails there.
 In Chicago, and elsewhere in the Middle West, like in New York there has been tremendous increase in the registered voters Both parties pre- tend to see in this favorable indication. Repub- lcans pretend to claim that the late registrations are disappointed Republicans that coming back to vote for Hoover. The Democrats claim it is due to an outpouring of forgotten men" and new voters who want an opportunity to support Gov. Roose- welt.

leaning against the bars for what seemed like a long time.
 There was just chance that while the bars ran straight across the rocf might rise in the middle. When the water was high enough, he crossed again, reaching up- enough, at a point where the roof all the way across. The bars met it inexoralbly. Old Foxy Fixon had set his portcullis cunningly enough, at point where the rdoof came down to meet it. There was no way out on the seaward side.
 A cold dogged courage came up in Jervis. He hadn't really hoped that he could be able to get over the bars into the outer cave. He put the whole thing away, and decided to make for the ledge on to which the passage opened He ought to be able to make it pretty soon now, and it would certainly be above high water mark.
 AS to what would happen then it was always on the cards that Leonard might come along the passage and open the tiny gate carelessly, in which case he would find himself floored. Jervis' fan | cy dwelt fondly on the thought of getting a grip on Leonard's ankles. The passage would make hard falling.
 As it turned out, he found tht ledge without difficulty. But i was another matter to haul him self up on to it.. The sill of rocl was couple of feet above wate, level, and beneath it, and upol either side, the wall was as smootl and as slippery as ice He coult never have climbed to the ledg if he had not chanced on tn ring
 It was away to one side of tn sill. He had pulled himself u a dozen times, only to be dragged back by the weight of his drench | ed clothes and his own tire

POLITICAL TIDE RIPS

Saturday night Ketchikan will be the scene of the First Diyis- ions biggest Republican Rally It will be the only one held in the Panhandle in which more than one of the party's candidates have apeared on the same platform. And only a minority of them will be on at Ketchikan
 Attorney General John Rustgard will not be there. He went west rather than south and won't return here until the day before election. F. F. Wann, candidate for High way Engineer. will be among the missing. And Cash Cole, candi- date for reelection for Auditor, is said to have some doubts as to his participation although he is in the First City campaigning. Com missioner of Education w. K. Kel- Ter will be out of the picture. Two of the Legislative candidates. Gro- yer c. Winn, last Speaker of the House, and Dr. Scrllby of Wrangell, also will be among the missing. Mir. Winn has paid his visit to Ket- chikan alone. and Dr. Scruby has done no active campaigning.
 Part, at least. of the non-ap- pearances are due to friction in the G. O. P. ranks. Between Auditor Cole and Attorney General Rustgard there is avowed and open warfare. So bitter is this fight that friends of the one can hardly vote for the other. MT. Cole. it is generally known, isn't wasting much affection on any of his running mates on the Terri

that in former years were found listed in the opposition ward.
 In striking contrast to the dis united and internecine strife pres ent in Republican ranks, is the accord that has characterized the Democratic campaign this year. Af- ter years spent roaming in the wilderness, that party cemented it's factions together firmly so that no inter-party friction could crop cut to turn it aside from the prom ised land.
 Entering the campaign with pros poets that most Republicans admit ted to be bright, it's outlook for victory has become more rosy each succeeding week. In baseball parlance, it has played errorless ball, hit timely and taken advant- age of the 'boners" of the opposi- tion.
 With four more days to elapse before election, and voters minds set with unusual firmness, no political Babe Ruth has lifted from among the Republican candidates to carry his team, weakened and disorganized by strife among the nlavers and disprllntlement of the voters, forward to a ninth-inning rally that might even cut down the Democrats overwhelming lead.
 It's the same old story that team work, back of something on the ball. beats individual effort, par ticularly when the individuals making the effort are themselves discouraged and half-hearted.

A FINE OFFICIAL IN PROSPECT.

One of the best officials Alaska has ever had is Frank A. Boyle, candidate the Democratic Ticket for Territorial Auditor MT. Boyle has proved by his long years of service in the United States Land Office, the United States Commissioners Office, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and as member of the Legislature that he is efficient, courteous conscientious, fair broad and tolerant. Not breath of scandal has ever been connected with any office that he has ever held or with him private citizen. He is absolutely four-square to all the winds that blow If elected he will conduct his office in that will satisfy the people and he will protect every interest of the taxpayers and citizens generally. He will make ideal official

torial ticket. although the only open break has been between him and Mr. Rustgard.
 Undoubtedly the inability of the candidates to compose their dif- ferences has tended to make the G. O. P. drive apathetic and in- effective. As more than one voter has sized up the situation: If they are everything they say about each other, it's high time the Ter ritory had a whole set of new of ficials."
 In his latest Anchorage speech. MT. Rustgard invited the voters to compare his record as an at torney and a man with that of his independent opponent-William L Paul. Press dispatches from the Cook Inlet capital give the impression he overlooked James S Truitt, the Democratic nominee MT. Rustgard specified the basit qualifications as follows: He (tht Attorney GeneraD must not only be honest, he must be experienced and competent" MT. Truitt, anc his opponents do not question it possesses all of them in a marked degree.
 Primary election returns indi- cate the oversight, if there was one, IS careless, at least. MT. Truitt unopposed for the Democratic nomination, boiled 3,724 votes. MT Rustgard received 2,940, almost 1000 less, and MT. Foster, oppos- ing him for the nomination. 1.43l Their total was 4.38l, or only 65I more than MT. Fruits vote.

Complexities of the Tariff.
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The tariff should be taken wholly out of politics It is ncongruous that in the present age of scenti fc research and application of scientific principles business should be subjected to anxietes and un- certaintes by contsant political disputes ing this economic factor in world business Non- partisan dsinterested public servants could adjust schedules to fit the relationships and conditions at any time existing between the nations.
 Just now the Treasury Department reports com plaints of American manufacturers that foreign competition already is wrecking the jobs ity of thousands of Ameican employees"
 As opposed to this the claims of those who assert that high tariffs must come down or we stand to lose the markets of the world Japan and Czechoslovaka especially are indicted in this respect.
 It is business problem. The hands and influ- ence of the politician should be removed from it. The best brains of the world should be called upon to deal with the actualities of this complex problem.
 The interests of revving commerce are at stake. They could be served through intelligent applica- ton of the scientific method. The world needs regulation of its tariff schedules. regulations not subject to political fluctuations and changes. This need can never be satisfied within the exclusive domain of politics

Ordinarily, the edge for the two G. O. P. candidates in the primary would seem to indicate its nom- inee to be in a favorable condi- ton. However, there are two big factors which make that conclus- ion unsound. First, MT. Paul's candidacy undoubtedly will take the big majority of the Indian vote away from MT. Rustgard. The former, who is strongly supported by Auditor Cole, will undoubtedly corral large number of votes from the Cole following, votes normally cast for the Republican candidates. On the other hand Mr. Paul is not apt to cut into he Democratic vote and his can- iidacy will have little effect on MT. Truitt's total, which, it is
 certain will be much larger than
 was in the primary since there
 vas no Democratic contest for that
 office, and no real reason for vot- ng on it.
 There's third factor equally
 IS important to the chances for
 MT. Truitt's success as the lack of harmony among the Republi
 cans. Admittedly, the swing in Alaska, like in the rest Of the nation, is to the Democrats If there is going to be new deal.s and most any kind of deal in Alaska would be better than that which it has had recently, Alas kans want to be in on the ground floor. And this sentiment. or de- mand, for a change is going to put many voters in the Truitt column

CHAPTER 46. TRAPPED AGAIN.

S,Jervis was feeling much better the dreamy drowsiness had passed, and his head was clear. He was horribly thirsty, but he felt pretty sure of being able to stick ii out till the tide went down --only he must get over the bars and into the outer cave.
 After bit he pulled himself along the bars to the side of the cave. His wet clothes impeded him. and he called himself fool for not having stripped. He man. aged to scramble up the face of the rack with the help of the nearest bar No way over here, or for as far as he could reach outwards. The bars ran to the roof of the cave. He pulled him. self across and tried the other side with no better luck; but he came on a foothold and stayed there

 William Burke, employed by the Treadwell Mining Company, came face to face with three bears while he was inspecting the dam in the Treadwell ditch He fired one shot at them and ran down hill. Hear ing one of the animals close behind him, he raced for his life. At the bottom, well ahead, he turned to look for his pursuer. The animal had been killed by the bullet and had rolled behind him down the steep hillside.
