 Points To Opportunities
 Alaska, MT. Merritt told the Seniors, offers a wide range of opportunities for them when they are ready to enter it's business and industrial fields. It's three major industries, mining, filming and numbering, offer sources of em- ployment to the trained and edu- cated person that probably cannot be excelled anywhere else. He said local business men and the community, generally, will welcome and lend a hand to these grad uates when they finish their edu- cation and enter the business arena.
 He pointed out that preceding Seniors of the local High School have made good here in various lines of endeavor, and mentiS ned many of them. They are repre- scented in both business and pro- fessional activities.
 Interested in School
 The Chamber of Commerce, he said, is deeply interested not only in the Senior Glasses but in the schools throughout, and it and the entire community have supported them on every occasion, backed them to the limit and given them everything they have asked for We are proud of them," he de- clared.

His Conception of the Job

His Conception of the Job
It is of interest to secure first HAND
the conception of office as voiced by
one who will soon occupy it. In one
Of his addresses Governor Franklin D
Roosevelt gave in these words his
view of the presidency:
The presidency is not merely
an administrative office. That is
the least of it. 1t Is more than
an engineering job. efficient or
inefficient. It Is pre- -eminently a
place of moral leadership.
"All our great presidents were
leaders of thought at times when
certain historic ideas in the life Of
the nation had to be clarified.
Washington perSonified the idea
of federal union. jefferson prac-
tically originated the party sys-

the Democratic theory to the Re-
publicanism of Hamilton. This
theory was reaffirmed by jackson.

Simplification of government and o,
conception of its duties to the people
are sadly needed. That statesman
said wisely that the people were best
governed who were least governed.
There has been an intolerable
growth Of government in the last two
decades. Bureaus and commissions

Our Farm Debt

since l91u the American farm mort
gage debt has increased from three
billion to nearly ten billion.
This is All increase of more than
300 per cent In l8 years.
To this must be considered the de-
flation in farm prices started soon
after the war and continued and con-
tinuing ever since. Not nice picture,

A Republican Indictment


The Chicago Tribune, usually Re
publican newspaper and which pride
tself upon decided opinions caus
ically expressed, has this interesting
md fearless indictment of the Re
publican party:
It permitted Mr.. Stimson, for
instance, to seek an international
career which would sacrifice the
party to the qualification of his
magnificent egotism. Mr.. Slim
son as the great peacemaker was
frequently in danger of producing
a great war. The party offended
the country by prolonged subser-
vience to the modern bigotry Of
prohibition. 1t was apparently
unable to seq that Bishop Can
non, Clarence True Wilson, and
the Volstead dictatorship had be-
come too exasperating for endur-
ance. To this obstinacy or blind
ness in internal affairs it added
a rambling beneficence In foreign
affairs which seemed forever aim
less, futile, and injurious. 1t was
plain that American interests we're
being jeopardized or sacrificed
while no good will or friendship
was being built up. The party in
administration committed itself
deeply to pacifism. prohibition,
and economic fallacies, and quite
apparently got nowhere.
In many of these activities it
was trying to steal the thunder OF
its enemies, and quite naturally
succeeded only in decorating ex-
plosions within its own ranks and
to its utter confusion. 1t did not
win the La Follettes, Brookhart,
Norris. and their company by
making concessions to them but
only made its own supporters
more bewildered. 1t used public
funds lavishly to purchase sub
sidizable states and only had them
turn away In ingratitude and con-
tempt. 1t experimental with state
socialism, increased the deficits of
government, stupefied private en-
terprise, and didn't get vote. 1t
did not reconcile a single one Of
its enemies, and at the end of all
these costly concessions to alien
principles 1t is left with only six
states in the electoral college.
There is more truth than poetry in
II this. Now that the Republican
arty becomes the minority, it has as
ifficult test as when in authority.

ritten which will repair the shat
