The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-11-25

Sentinel reader for 5S years, has de- clared a moratorium on all news papers until the present campaign is thing of the past.
 Mrs. Young asserted she has lived long enough to know that so-called political news is "a lot of bunk" and gets her unnecessarily worked up and angry. Mrs. Youngs cancella- tion carried the notation that deliv- cry is to be resumed after the cleo ton on November 8.
 Now, there's bright woman. She has sense enough to see that all this big noise now filling the air is a lot of bunk. It would be detraction to say that she is "a woman with the brain of a man." While most men know that the dope their poli- tical opponents are putting out is largely bunk they cannot see that their own pet party and its candi- dates and spell-binders are peddling just as much bunk as the other fel- lows. They lack the wisdom shown by Mrs. Young. Many of them read only their own party organs.
 When a man belongs" to a party he is fitted with party glasses, and they are colored glasses, and every thing he looks at has the same hue as his glasses, but he utterly fails to realize the significance of this.
 The sad or the funny part of it is that the more party prejudice a man has the binder he is to the great truths above enumerated, and the less liable to see himself as others see him.
 The time to study politics is in the odd years when there is no crazy campaign raging. If a man waits till there is a hot presiden- tial campaign on there is so much bunk turned loose that he is liable to get buncoed.
 Let us be glad for the sake of our country that this campaign yelping is mostly bunk and lies, and that our prominent public men regardless of party are not the lousy inefficient humbugs and shysters their political opponents would have us believe.-J. F. Lewis in the Eka- laka (Mont.) Eagle.

With a change in administration at Washington it naturally follows that candidates for the various ap- pointive offices are emerging from retirement in Alaska as elsewhere
 We feel that Wrangell should be represented in one of the larger ap- pointments. We see no reason why the better paid offices should fall only to Juneau CT Ketchikan men. In the past the smaller towns have made little or no effort to secure one of these places, seeming to feel that 1t was no use to stand out against a man from larger town.
 Political preference rarely de- scends uninvited but rather is given to the man who vigorously goes af- ter an appointment and the size of his town need not be a determining factor.
 Wrangell has men who have been staunchly Democratic through the past twelve years, when at times it was almost a forgotten party in the North. They are competent and worthy in every respect and one of them should go out after good Federal appointment.
 From a political standpoint, alone Wrangell deserves recognition from the Democratic organization and the request of a Wrangell man for one of the offices about to be vacated by the present incumbents, should command attention.

HARMONY

General satisfaction except by the most rabid partisans is felt that af- ter the Lame Duck session of Con- gress next month, the United States senate and house of representatives are to be of the same political faith as the President.
 It is never good for the country to have a President and Congress working at cross-purposes. Much of the Republican campaign was based on the accusation that the pork bar rel legislation of the house for the past term was fair sample of Dem ocratic leadership. The voters of the nation apparently rejected the &C., cusations and approved of this lead ership by electing a President to car ry out those policies.
 When the legislative and execu- tive banches of our government are not of the same political party, prog ress is blocked by the fault-finding, buck-passing, bitter maneuvers and i'll feeling which results.
 In England and most European countries, when a party wins 2 majority of seats in the lower legis- lative branch, the executive, or premier, is automatically picked from that party. The procedure in the United States is different. Our executive is elected independently of our legislators, so it is for the best welfare of the nation when the President is not hampered by a fault finding Congress, but is of the same political party. He is thus as- sured of harmony from the legis- lative branch of the government, and the nation is spared much bit terness and strife.

question were arrested on the film siest of evidence, when all suspicion of guilt pointed to several white boys who escaped; that the testi- mony of their accusers was incom- petent, to say the least; that the defendants were denied the services of a lawyer from their arrest to their arraignment; that it was im- possible to obtain a fair trial any place near the scene of the crime; that the jury and judge were soaked in prejudice, and that the Alabama supreme court was blind to the facts of the case.
 Labor groups, civil liberty groups, and racial organizations have pro- tested in vain against this outrage of justice. The people of the United States can be proud that their new supreme court majority of distinct ly liberal tinge, was joined by the arch-conservative Justice Suther- land, to remove the negro youths from the threat of the gallows, and to send their case back to Alabama, where it is expected that they will now get a new trial more in accord with modern ideas of justice and decency.

ABOLISH IT

Now, while people still remem- Der the excitement of election, is g good time to suggest a drastic change in our election laws, as the process of voting in a national cleo tion should have brought home to the people the utter stupidity of continuing what is known as the electoral college.
 AS almost every school child knows, the voters originally chose electors who travelled to Washing ton and there cast their ballots for president and yice-president accord ing to their own desires. They were not bound or instructed to vote for any particular candidate; it was all a matter of the electors discretion.
 Today we really vote for the presi- dential candidate, and not for the electors. The process of electors in

JUSTICE AT LAST

A telling blow in favor of racial justice, and against inhumanity and intolerance has been dealt by the United States Supreme Court in or dering new trial for the seven negro youths convicted in Scotts- boro, Alabama, of attacks on two white girls, and sentenced to death.
 Anyone who has followed the course of the trial and the testimony can see that the seven youths in

FIRST TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

Speaking of newspaper work, we believe some folks only read news papers to discover the typographical errors. Hardly a day passes but some reader kids us about even the smallest error. It is an odd thing, but matter prepared for printing can be read and re-read and re-read again, even half a dozen times-then, soon as the first few papers come off the press some one will discover an error digging around all over the front page like a wigwag signal starting to work just as you get right on top of railroad crossing with the family flivver. Naturally, ten to fifty pa pers will get into circulation before the press can be stopped and the error corrected. Of course, with an offensive error, all the papers con taining it would be called in and destroyed but if the error is inof fensive it is let go on the grounds that it would be too great a material loss to destroy the copies already printed. However, we'd like to wager there were chiseled errors on Moses tablets of the Ten Commandments, if only the original issue could be duo n-Hol1icfnr (Calif Fraa Lance.

The Stock Market today CAPT

high ground for the present ad-
vance, with gains running from
! to more than points.
There was little in the news to

prices.
Low Earnings Ignored
The new batch Of second quar-.
ter earnings reports that ap-
peared over the weekend further
reflected the low state of trade,
but, as in the case of Union Car
bide, brought only temporary re-

cover. The stock after opening up
3 points extended its gain sub
stantially through a string of bid
and asked prices on the tape.
The other rails were subjected
to further profittaking, but
absorbed this without slackening
their stride, and issues like Union
Pacific and AtchiSon went to the
highest levels seen since early in
June.
Strength Is General
The market displayed general
strength from the opening.
Pivotal issues led the fresh ad-
vance and sizeable gains were
shown by American Telephone,

The mail trucks, carrying a
few pouches of interdepartmental

patched by Capt. E. N. ChiSolm,
jr., acting director, to naval Off
cials, requesting that remedial
steps be taken to remove the
menace of speeding mail trucks.
Today employees were startled
to hear at frequent intervals
loud blasts on klaxon horns echo
ing through the corridors as the
trucks rumbled along at even
greater speed. secure behind the
warning blasts.
Indignant park police held
use of the horns violation of

ised to put a stop to their use.

YOUTH ADMIT rs
8 8HOLDUPS At
GAS STATIONS
New Yorker Arrested at Filling
Place to Which He Returned
After Taking Pal Away

Arrested early today in a gas
station at Fourteenth and Bel
month Streets Northwest after
the manager and two other
men had been robbed in that
establishment by an armed
bandit, James S. Lawrence, %,
of New York, confessed to
members of the robbery squad
that he held up and robbed the
managers of eight gasoline fill
ing stations in the District dur
ing the last month.
Lawrence could not recall the
location of the stations, but
offered to take detectives to the
places he had robbed. He was
escorted about the city today in
an effort to locave the places he
held up.
Pair Steal Car
Lawrence and man who he
said he does not know, but whom
he met casually on the street
downtown, stole the automobile
of Milton r. Reeves from in
front of the latter's home, 81
New York Ave. N. w., shortly
after they met. He said they
planned to hold up gasoline sta
tions and make their getaway
in the car.
Lawrence said The unidentified
bandit with him said they were
going to the Fourteenth Street
gas station, of which Sabin Car
duS. 2235 I st. N. w., is the
manager. He said he told his
companion that they should not
go there because Cardua knew
him.
His companion, however, drove
to that station and Lawrence
alighted from the machine to
make a telephone call from the
pay booth in the station.
Fear Results in Arrest
The confession said that while
Lawrence was telephoning, the
other bandit entered and, at pis-
tol point, robbed Cardua of $50;
Baron Shields the assistant mana
ger, of 10 cents; and Woodrow
Brousman, 24OO Thirteenth st.
N. W., a visitor, of 80 cents. The
bandit then turned to Lawrence
and, pretending he did not know
him, ordered Lawrence to drive
him from the scene.
Lawrence, according to his
story, fearing suspicion might
rest on him, returned to the sta
ton to ask about the robbery.
He returned just as the police
arrived to investigate and he was
arrested.
