 Roosevelt Delegates Backed
 Pointing out that the Demo- cratic Convention held last Jan- uary at Fairbanks had endorsed Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Presidential nomination, MT Connors urged the voters to SUD- nort the six candidates for Dele gates to td1e National Convention who filed a6 the Conventions re- quest and are pledged to vote for Gov. Roosevelt. These candidates are: T. Fl. Deal, Fairbanks, A. A Shonbeck and H. F Morton, An cflorage; w. B. Kirk, John w Troy and J. G. Walner, Juneau.
 Gov. RooSevelt's sweeping vic- tories in every preferential primary SD far held, in which his name has been entered, have exceeded even the expectations of his most ardent supporters, and the heavy vote given him in normally Re publican States has created con- sternation in the ranks of the opposition party.

LOST MINE ON
 SCURvY CREEK
 MAY BE FOUND
Report Reaches Atlin and Stampede to District
 Results

AILIN, B. O.. April 23.-It is re- ported that the discovery of gold on Scurvy Creek has resulted in a rush there in belief that the Host mine" has been found.
 The discovery is reported to have been made by an Indian moose hunter named Smith, who noticed yellow metal glistening while dress ing a moose he had killed.
 Smith and several other Indian companions staked claims. Other prospectors rushed to the creek as soon as news of the discovery be- came known.
 There are many here who believe the strike is the same as reported found by John Hamilton and five Victoria companions in 1874. Scurvy killed all but Hamilton and he was never able to find the location again.
 It was in this area that Capt E. J. A. Burke, flier, lost his life in the fall of 1930.

GARNER DODGES BONUS

81 haven't made any statement on
the bonus question, and l don't in
tend to make any,"
That was the reply of the "bold,"
frank" courageous" John Nance
Garner, Democratic nominee for Vice
President when asked for his position
on this important issue.
And so the tail of the Democratic
ticket joins the head of that ticket
in refusing to tell the Americana peo-
pie where he stands on a question
that is certain to come up in the snext
Congress and that is of vital interest
to American business.
The reason Roosevelt and Garner
refuse to commit themselves on this
question, of course, is because they
fear they would lose votes whatever
their answer would be.
Do the people want oput at the
head of their government men who
openly and obviously play the dema-
gogus on a question upon which may
rest the stability of our financial
system?

THE PARABLE OF THE

have lived in times like our own. His
country, we take twas emerging from
one of those depressions which, off

der the sun since business began. So
fearful he was that he fell into worse
trouble than that he was trying to
avoid, and tragically missed his life's
greatest opportunity. Entrusted with
a certain amount of cash, he boarded
it instead of using it. He could have
bought the best of goods at bargain
prices; he could have made invest
ments, more advantageous than any
which had been or ever again would
be in his day; he could have done his
part toward providing jobs for hun
CRY men, toward quickening sluggish

streams of trade, toward restoring
confidence and prosperity. But he was
afraid and "went and hid his talent in
the earth," wherefore, as matter of
economic and social justice it was
taken from him, and given to those
who had the courage, the loyalty and
the enterprise to use it.
The old parable is now strikingly
new. Its truth rings afresh in the fol-
lowing line from current advertise
ment: Don't say you can't help.
Don't say you are too little to help
cure big national crisis. You can help.
Have you hidden your money away,
buried it in the ground, put it in
sock, locked it up in a safety vault?
Then bring it out, if you want to help
this depression. You'll help your state
and your nation and your fellow man.
And you'll help yourself. Every dol
lar you put back into use helps. 1t
helps make a market for the things
you grow. And it helps you. Your
money is worth more now, in terms of
what it will buy, than it's been in
many, many years. There is feast
of bargains spread out before you :.
Prices will go up. The value Of your
money in terms of what it will buy
will shrink. 1t will shrivel, if it re-
mains boarded. Bring it into the sun
light. Let it sprout and grow you a
new crop of dollars. Not in wild spec
ulation, not in wildcat schemes. No
need to lose it that way. The best Sc
curities, the best lands, the best in
vestments of all kinds are waiting
for you on the bargain table. Did
you know that the biggest fortunes
were not founded in periods of pros
perity? They were founded in times
of adversely like these by men who
had cash and courage"
Those words are worth every mans
bordering. They are words of COM
mon sense as we'll as common patriot
ism. They are approved by all ages
of the past, and they will be verified
by history now in the making. Who
hides his talent today will find him
self, at last, shamed and empty-hand-
ed; who uses it will be numbered
among the fortunate, the faithful and
the good.-Atlanta (Georgia) Journal.
