But some of them will Of more importance, however, is the fact that I will see them, get to know the conditions under which they are attempting to make a living, and, I hope, learn from them how they expect the Delegate to Con- gress to assist them become more self sustaining factors in the Ter ritorial organization. If I can do this, I will be repaid for the time and energy expended" responded Senator Dimond.
 Bill" EIesse, Territorial High way Engineer, who is seeking re- election on the Democratic ticket is one official who practices as well as breaches economy of public funds. During the past year, the Highway Department has been al- most entirely without funds for much needed work. Everything it tras expended has gone into the Territory's cooperative program with either the United States Bu- reau of Public Roads or the Alas ka Road Commission, (the new one.)
 Why don't you get out in the field, look over the roads and in- spet't the al-plane landing fieldsP" Bsl was asked by a supporter You ought to be able to make a pretty good campaign that way
 Not me-" retorted Hesse. When we need money so badly for roads and trails and can't get it, would be a sorry sort of public official if spent a few hundred dollars Junketfng around to inspect facili- t'es that will get along just as good for year or so without me, and the money that I would have used in that way may get a few fellows who need it enough work to keep them through the winter"
 So Hesse stayed at home in Ju- neau. His campaigning has been done by letter, and he hasn't used any government frank in cir culating his literature.

Annual Labor.
Anchorage Times.)

Fairbanks Pioners will find many Alaskans ready to agree with them that suspension of the annual labor requirement. in Alaska does more harm than it does good TheeAct of Congress which passed the request of big mining interests in the States to relieve them of the necessity of employing men to perform assessment work their extensive hold ings should not have been extended to Alaska with many in the Territory needing the money which is required to be distributed annually by owners of idle properties
 The movement which has been started in Fair banks to prevent further suspension of the annual labor requirement. should have the support of all mining communities throughout the Territory so that when Congress convenes in December there will not be any doubt about Alaska sentiment on this important question.

It goes above gold strike In our greatest time of need Away out to the Westward Has been found gem so bright That, like the mighty Kohinoor Twill sparkle thro the night sham may do in sunlight And glitter to the eye, But plunge it into darkness Its life and fire will die.

NAVY DAY.

Todav Is Navy Day wherever the American flag flies It is the anniversary of the beginning of the present American Navy and the anniversary Of the birth of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, most persistent probably, of the supporters of a big navy, among the Presidents of the United States This year is the 200th anniversary Of the birth of George Washington, which is being cele- brated throughout the Nation and the George Wash ngton Bicentennial Celebration Commission is as sisting in the celebration of this Navy Day The day is sponsored by the Naval League and is supported bv Naval officers and friends of the Navy through out the country.
 The need for a Navy which authorized during his Administration, recognized by Presi- dent George Washington and he never ceased to urge the construction of an adequate power to protect American interests the sea. In his last message to Congress, December 2, 1796, he said:
 To an active external commerce the po-
 lection of naval force is indispensable To
 secure respect for neutral flag requires
 naval force organized and ready to vindicate
 it from insult and aggression. This may even
 prevent the necessity of going to war by
 discouraging belligerent powers from commit
 ting such violations of the rights of the
 neutral party as may, first or last, leave
 other option.
 One could write columns and not say more than President Washington said in that brief para graph in support of the need for an adequate navy What is adequate" navy is matter over which there might be differences of opinion. However the navy ought to be large enough to meet the re- quirements set forth by Washington. In this country it ought to meet in full strength allowed the United States in the Washington naval limitations treaty
 At this time when the country is striving for ways to meet the unemployment situation nothing should be left undone to build up the Navy as fast and large the treaty will allow.
 It is worth mentioning this time that another Roosevelt also friend of the Navy Department oi which he Assistant Secretary for more thar years, is in all probability about to become President of the United States That he will advo- cate Navy that will meet the actual needs of the greatest of countries may be accepted as assured

POLITICAL TIDE RIPS

quite so successful as the current Democratic nominee who seems to have charmed away Senator Nor ris of Nebraska, Senator Johnson of California, Senators LaFollette and Blaine of Wisconsin, Senator Cutting of New Mexico, and Sen- ator Nye of North Dakota, all of whom have formally announced their support of Gov. Roosevelt. That, however, is but one of many reasons why betting odds are two to one that the Democratic candi- date will be elected.
 Locally, there seems to have been but very little cash money wagered on the national outcome. There is some Roosevelt money to be had at various places but no takers have been located. Odds were not quoted but are said to be available if anyone is seriously in-

Two weeks only are left for the wordmasters of politics to frame their phrases with which to WOO the somewhat cagy and more than somewhat resentful voter back to the frame of mind that will make him refrain from walloping the 'ins' just because they are in.
 And that leads to new story that's just going the local rounds. In a group here recently, in which were included former Delegate George B. Grigsby and Delegate Wickersham, the latter was tell ing how hadly he had been hit by the economy wave. Why, he said, his salary had been cut to 5000 a year. T lost just s1.OOO a year on that 10 per cent cut" he con- plained
 "Oh, well, don't let that worry you. Next year you're going to be reduced just 100 per cent" re- torted the irrepressible Grigsby
