ABOUT LEADERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS.

Hearst newspaper commenting upon the Ma tional House of Representatives declared that it is daily proving that the Democrats not qualified to run the Government The Hearst newspapers have often made it clear that the Republicans are not qualified. Sometimes inclined to agree with MT. Hearst that set of men of re- cent years has proved qualified to run the United States
 MT Hearst's position is not far different from that of the Republican Party at the present time. By the obvious in which Republicans are sitting quiet and watchfully waiting for the Demo- crats to make mistakes, to get into unsoluble quarrel, sumpin' it is evident that they really know that they do not deserve victory in the next election Their only hope for victory is that the Democratic Party will fall down or break up into warning factions and default victory to them. They act like a crowd of baseball fans who depend rather on errors by the visiting them than by good work by the home players for the hoped for victory In the meantime they try to root the Democrats

AMERICAS MOST FAMOUS WOMAN.

Mrs Amelia Earhart Puntam is the woman of the hour And she her place in the sun by a remarkable achievement. She is the first woman and the second person to fly across the Atlantic alone Only Col. Lindbergh has equaed in that respect the performance Of this remarkable woman Mrs Putnam or Miss Earhart as she is more often
 alled because she fame under that name before her marriage bears another similarity to Col Lind bsrgh There was little pre-flight publicity. With out fuss and feathers she got in her plane without food except some tomato juice, and with only the clothes she had on and s20 in money and hopped off for the other side of the ocean Despite bad weather ice covered plane leaking valves and other troubles she kept straight ahead toward her goal She flew low, just above the water, because if it was to be her last flight she would rather drown than burn. Without losing nerve or head she kept going until she found Ireland, then she picked out a level green pacture and came down. Her next move was to get in telephonic communica- ton with her husband She had been away from America a few minutes more than fifteen hours.
 The performance, said, in many ways re- sembles the Lindbergh flight that brought fame to America's most popular hero. It is not at all strange under the circumstances that Mrs Put nams name is today on every tongue. She hoppsd off May 20 a fitting celebration of the fifth an- niversary of Col Lindbergh's similar flight
 May Ameia's fame endure Lindy's has en- dured.

Completing one of the most im- portant projects on the 1892 sched- ule of the Juneau Boy Scout Coun- cil, members of that group and of the two troops, and several other local men laid new concrete floor under the awning of the Scout Cabin at Eagle River Sun day
 G. E. Krause and two of his assistants, Dave Burnett and Carl Weidman. donated their services to the Scouts and did the actua, cement work. They were assisted by Billy Dickinson and Bud Dot son, in addition to the Scouters who were present.
 The Scout Council is also in- debted to Cash Cole, who trans ported the cement from town to Eagle River, and who also took to the camp new stove lids to replace the ones lost overheard last fall.
 Patterns for the lids were mads by Handy Andy Lagergren, who made a special trip to the camp for that purpose. These were cast free of chrage at the foundry in Treadwen.
 Mayor T. B. Judson, who super intended the transportation of the stove to the campsite last year is making another trip to Eagle River next Sunday to put the stovc in place.

 The summons at the door was repeated and Georgie pushed her way out,
 Jenny, gazing after her, saw that outside the front door a a,lort, slightly stopped man with close-set eyes. He took the suit case and the door closed. Pres ently, from the street below, came the sound of a big car sliding into speed.
 Jenny picked up the key from where it had failed to the floor and went slowly to the kitchen. Al any rate, she thought irreve- antly, Eddie need not be locked in any longer.
 The next moment she heard his voice.

sign to the man who is running for office.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle tells the story of what happened dur ing the Delegates recent campaign trip there as follows:
 Called upon to express his views Delegate James Wickersham said, you have Ketchikan men running for office and if you want to elect them you've got to get out and work for them, and they have to get out and work for themselves. He added that in Juneau we've
 had Republican organization Ifunctioning for six weeks. We're already calling each other black guards, but you folks aren't hav- ing good time at all. I'd rath- CT be licked fighting than be licked

 He added that in his opinion

Democratic Success Sure.
(Valdez Miner.)

As the election approaches the indications point more and more strongly to Democratic victory in November for both the National and Territorial tickets
 Not only have the several newspaper and maga- zine straw votes shown generous plurality for the National Democratic candidates but the betting odds, early in the campaign in favor of Hoover, have switched strongly to the Democratic side
 It is also evident that an ever increasing num- Der of voters are becoming imbued with the belief that change of administration is needed to bring about speedy economic recovery. Added to this the Democratic Presidential and Presidential candidates popular with the mass of the people long before the holdings of the convention which nominated them and their popularity has been in- creasng throughout the campaign.
 l The rift between the Roosevelt and Smith fac tions of the Democratic Party, if there really ever one, has been mended and united party stands behind the Roosevelt Garner ticket. In Alaska, in the States the indications point conclusvely to Democratic victory next month Here where party lines have never been so tightly dran in the States, the man rather than the party to which he bongs has always had the strong est appeal to the voters, hence the Democatic ticket headed by Senator A. J. Dimond, candidate for Delegate to Congress, is assured of success that it is one of the strongest ever presented to the voters of the Territory. On it are the names which they have been nominated, and their elec- tion will insure a sane administration of the af- fairs of the Territory.

 Then you did see something?"
 Mrs. Mellish recovered herself.
 T didn't say, ma'am" T think you must say"
 Mrs. Mellish brustled.
 I'm sure I'm the last to keep back anything as would be any help" she said With the fingers of one hand she pleated a fold of the white linen handkerchief on her knee.
 "Yes, what did you see?" {.
 I'm a poor sleeper" said Mrs. Melhsh, "and. when I don't sleep, it is my habit to make myself a cup of tea"
 "Yes?" said Nan.
 "I'd run out of tea" said Mrs. Mellish. T made so bold as to keep some handy-I've a caddy that was gave me by MT. Weare for the purpose. Tuesday night, my caddy was empty, and I went down to fill it. It might have been three o'clock or whereabouts. !"
 Yes" said Nan. Go on please" :"
 Mrs. Mellish meant to take her own time.
 T went down the back stairs, and so I come up. I had my caddy in my hand, and when I come up to the second floor, the door through to the landing was left half open. I put my hand on it to bring it to, and I heard a door open along the corridor.
 Yes" said Nan. What door was it?"
 Tt was MT. ,Jervis' door-Mr. Weare I should say-so I blew out my candle, it being an awk- ward time of night to meet a gentleman, and me in my dress ing gown"

A SPLENDID TICKET.

When Senator Dmond asked the voters Of the First Division to elect straight Democratic ticket so that the election results might be helpful to Alaska in the effort of the Territory participate in the New Deal" promised by Gov. Roosevelt who is certain of election to the Presidency, there was nothing suggested that would cause injury to the public service through complying. There was never a finer more competent set of men placed in the field for an election anywhere than those who make up the Democratic Ticket.
 The Democratic candidates include w. A. Hesse, Highway Engineer who is his party's nominee for reelection. MT Hesse has been very efficient officer and he has protected the public funds within his jurisdiction with jealous care. AS he truthfully said in his speech in Juneau mot dime of public money has been wasted by him.
 Frank A. Boyle nominee for Territorial Auditor has served the people of Alaska as Receiver Of Public Monies and Register of the United States Land Office under both Republican and Democratic Administration He has served as United States Commissioner at Juneau, and a member of the Territorial Legislature He has always proved eff ficient courteous and able It is admitted that he is "an ideal' public servant. He always makes good He has been active in the Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere in advancing the best interests of his community and the Territory. He would make
 very fine Territorial Auditor. His interest would be always and in all circumstances to serve the PSASSAASA or political considerations
 Anthony E. Karnes, Democratic nominee for Con- missioner of Education, has been Superintendent of Schools at Ketchikan for several years His quali- fications in education experience, temperament and personality second to none in his profession in Alaska. He has given excellent satisfaction to the people of Ketchikan.
 James s. Trutt of Anchorage is the nominee of his party for Attorney General. He has resided and practiced law in the Territory for many years The only office he has held was that of Assistant United States Attorney in the Wilson Adminstra- tion He is very popular in his home town where he recognized courteous gentleman, of probity, sincerity and high character. Four years ago. when he first for Attorney General, he carried his Anchorage by large majority and led in the Third Division.

more fortunate than their Demo- cratic brethren in the matter of transpor tation accommodations. The latter had to dig deep into the old campaign sock for money to hire a ship to cover the outlying precincts. The G. O. F. banner toters were offered a capable and comfortable boat without charter fee or rental However, the offer seems to have gone begging since tn Republican candidates show a preference for solo campaigns. This Is indicated by the fact that Dele gate Wickersham, since returning here from his interior and west ern tour, has campaigned at Sitka. Petersburg Rake, Wrangell and Ketchikan, and all the other candi- dates have been too busy to ac- company him. In like manner At torney General Rustgard is now campaigning in Anchorage.
 
 How to interest the average party member in political work and get him or her to work is a problem for organization leaders and particularly to candidates for office whose success in the final analysis depends upon workers. Perhaps that was the reason Dele gate Wickersham. while in Ket- chikan last week, sort of chided Ketchikan Republicans for inac- tivity.
 The Delegate was apparently considerably exercised over condi- tions in the First City and used such words as lying down" to the enemy. Rep blfcans there seem to have gone into hid ing for the last time being, at least and that's a most discouraging

CHAPTER fl. MRS. MELLISH AGAIN

MRS. MELLISH AGAIN
 Mrs. Mellish came into the li- brary. Nobody would have known that she had been cooking. She wore her black afternoon dress. with a demallion brooch depicting a pink church leaning a little side ways against background ot bright blue sky. She had an air of dignity and leisllred calm as she came to a standstill at a re- spectful distance and waited for Nan to speak.
 Please sit down." said Nan.
 "I'd rather stand, ma'am."
 Did she do it on purpose? Did she know how difficult it was to talk to someone who stands liter ally, as well as morally, on her dignity?
 Nan braced herself
 'T'd like you to sit, Mrs. Mel hsh. She indicated a chair near her own.
 After a momentary hesitation Mrs. Mellish advanced another chair one without arms and very straight in the back. Upon the extreme edge of this chair she sat herself, her body stiffy erect, and her hands neatly fold cd, After a suitable pause, she said:
 "Yes, ma'am."
 Nan leaned forward.
 T want you to help me"
 Mrs. Mellish registered a blank inability to understand how she could possibly be of any assist ence to Mrs. Weare. After a fur ther pause she again said:
 "Yes, ma'am."
 We're in great trouble about MT Weare," said Nan.
 Mrs. Mellish said, "Yes, ma'am?" for the third time.
 Nan got up abruptly. If she were to sit and listen to Mrs. Mel fish saying, "Yes, ma'am," any, thing might happen She felt up a passionate desire to pick up the nearest book and send it crashing through the window, or, better still, straight at Mrs. Mellish's head.
 She let the curtain fall and turned round again
 You've known Jervis a long time"
 "Yes, ma'am"
 You knew him when he was a little boy?"
 "Yes, ma'am"
 You've known him all these years. We're in dreadful trouble about him-we think-that some thing-must have happened"
 "Yes, ma'am," said Mrs. Mellish
 There was a little heavy brass box on the telephone table; it was used to hold stamps. Nan wrench ed her eyes away from it. She wanted to pick 1t up and throw it at Mrs. Mellish-hard With an effort, she stood where she was.
