To the Successful Candidates.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

Results of the election pretty well estab- lished today. The will of the people has been expressed and the unprecedented change gives the new office holders that opportunity for which they asked.
 In Alaska surely, there is neither bitterness regret. Our system of government is based upon the will of the majority and it's emphatic expression in this instance leaves for doubt. To the successful candidates this newspaper-and think also that we speak the thoughts of the people in this respect-extends sincere and hearty congratu- lations.
 It is no reflection on the leadership of the Democratic Party or the candidates themselves the expression of overwhelming desire. for chance to do something that might prove better. That was demonstrated by the unprecedented adherence to the Democratic ticket
 This in detracts from the decisive ness of the turnover. But it adds greatly to the responsibility of those who now come into power Demonstrating it does the dissatisfaction with things as they are the vote shows that the people are placing implicit trust in the hands of the suc- cessfu candidates. It shows that the people believe in these men. It shows that the people expect of these dynamic, constructive action such as they feel has been denied them in the immediate past.
 Indeed the responsibility of these successful can- didates is great But we feel sure that they realize and appreciate it. Knowing this, they will proceed cautiously with vision beyond the present on constructive program of helpfulness to the people
 The opportunities for betterment all about us. They areas the campaign itself developed unlimited In general way many of these oppor- tunities are not at all impossible of achievement With those candidates who asked and obtained the oportunity to help, hope that the course of their advance is made easy for steady constructive work in the service of the public.

Short Story of Doormar on Lexington Avenue
 in Metropolis '
By WILLIAM GAINES

NEW YORK, Nov IF. = This, friends, is New York:
 Over on Lexington Avenue IS an Irish doorman who has stood outside an important building for s years.
 From the stream of varying faces which passes him every day he has picked out few that appear regu- larly, and they have become his friends, although he knows the names of scarcely any, and nothing of their private business.
 Of these acquaintances some months ago he began to take special interest in one--a shuf- fling. furtive sort of man who, al the same hour every day, walked past with a bundle under his arm The doorman invariably spoke te him and he returned the greeting That was all. The stranger ap- parently delivered the bundle and soon passed the doorman going

CABINET TIMBER.

At this time a favorite indoor sport is picking out Cabinet officers for the Roosevelt Administra- tion that will come into power the fourth of next March. One thing that is generally agreed upon is the fact that the President-Elect' party offers a list of wonderful from which to make seec- tions. And that suggesss that this fact had pow erful effect in canceng the effects of the campaign of fear that President Hoover tried hard to put over during the last few weeks Of debate on the stump. It was used effectively by Owen D. Young and others, and by the editorial page of the New York Times and other newspapers
 The situation very clearly set forth by the veteran George Foster Peabody liberal-minded New York financier, who prominent in the late years of the last century and the first of this. Tele- graphing the New York Times from his home at Saratoga Springs, the 8o-year-old sage and phan- thopst, commenting speech by Owen D. Young said.

 to offer in the names of men who could be

IS THE c. o. P. NORMALLY WOUNDED?

Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, President Of Co., 1nmbia and stanch Republican leader, ntimates that the Republican Party may never recover rom the wound that was inflicted in the late election He savs will not do so unless it accepts liberal and constructive leadership He declared that the Re plblicans must reorganze. They must tear down tariff walls balance the budget and do many other thnps or they will have to give way to a Liberal Party.
 That the Republican Party has been very serious lv wounded there is no doubt The Democratic Party has destroyed two National major parties Tn the same way that it wounded the Republicans. During the Jefferson Madison and Monroe Administrations it defeated the old Federal Party until 1t deo oi it's wounds The Federalists finally put out of business during the Monroe Administration US last appearance was in 1920 when it failed to elect single Presidential eector. Shortly came the Wnlg Party It continued for little more than twenty years In 1852 eighty years ago, it's candidate TOT President carried four States Not quite as disaster ous relatively speaking. the Democratic victory in the last contest but nearly The Whig Party then folded up and disappeared It was followed by the Republican Party, which, eight years after the destruction of the Whig Party came into contro of the country.

However if he should turn on Roosevelt and do damage than he did to Speaker Garner and the Democratic House it will not hurt very much.

u. s. WON'T DISCUSS
DEBTS PROBLEM AT
W0RLDCONFERENCE

Washington, Aug. 3. - LP) - The
United States is willing to join d
world economic conference that will
ignore debts and specific tariff rates
but it has left open the possibility
of debt discussions with individual
nations.
An invitation to the economic
meeting sponsored by the League of
Nations was accepted Tuesday. The
American note, delivered to the Brit
ish embassy, was not made public but
it outlined reasons for acceptance
and said representatives for this
country would be named later.
The request to join stipulated tina.
individual tariffs, reparations and
debts would not be on the agenda for
discussion. It specified that general
tariff policy and silver would and tina.
representatives of the participating
nations be designated to three COM
mittees-one to arrange the confer
ence itself, one on economic and one
on financial problems.
BY accepting this invitation, the
state department passed up a sugges-
ton by Senator Borah, Idaho indie
pendent Republican, that war debts
and reparations should be considered
at the meeting along with disarma-
ment.
President Hoover said just after the
Lausanne agreement leading to the
new conference that the United
States could not be bludgeoned into
consideration of debts by any combi'
nation of European nations. The
state department. of course, took thu
same position.
But neither officially nor unoffici.
ally has a responsible administration
leader said so far that the United
States would not hold separate talk
with European nations on this prob.
lem. The question hangs, however
on some concerted plan abroad frs
to reduce arms. When such an agree
ment is reached, it Is almost fore
gone conclusion that America will a.
least talk about debts.
