FIGURES ANSWER POLITICIANS.

The Republican partys board of strategy has formulated a plan of campaign which calls TOT an attack on MIRA and criticism of President Roosevelt The National Progressive Republican organization, whatever or whoever that is terms the action poor sportsmanship" and urges the people to stand Loyalty behind the President and support him Tn an effort to direct the Nation back to recovery"
 As retort that is splendid but for an answer the figures just made public by the American Feo- eration of Labor on unemployment is far more convincing on the value of NRA, and the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 The Federation, after nationwide study, an- nounces 100000 persons have been taken OH the unemployed lists and put back to work More sighi- ficant than that 1700000 of them were gwen Jops between July and September when industry was declining and the workers total buying power was raised eight per cent.
 Mr. Roosevelt has been in office eight months When he assumed his duties after three and one half years depression the countrys position show ed no sign of improvement, and fear, want and misery was abroad in the land. More than 140O0- 900 wage earners denied the opportunity to work
 In the eight months that have elapsed the policies of President Roosevelt have resulted in almost one-third of that number being re-employed Further than that the American Federation Of Labor finds that unemployment is still decreasing And "i and the Presidents unemployment agreement IS responsible for the showing.
 That is the most convincing reply that can be made to the Republican leadership which undertakes to start a backfire at this time when the country is definitely the upgrade It should silence those who have been asking, What has MIRA doneP
 It is true that many had hopes for more rapid improvement than has been achieved. Perhaps what they had in mind miracle. But their dsap- pontment should not blind them to the really remarkable results already obtained. Unemployment hasn't been banished, Prosperity hasn't been re- stored. However, unemployment is being conquered and prosperity looks more like practical attain ment rather than the figment of the imagination it had come to be when President Roosevelt took up his occupancy of the White House last March.
 We are inclined to agree with the Progressive organization that the people of the country will not get excited over the partisan attacks made on MIRA and the President by the Republican srategists We are not yet far enough away from the years of Hoover prosperity for us to forget the utter failure of the reactionary Republicans to properly manage the country" Nor will the country soon forget that for more than three years, the Repub- lican party controlled the machinery of Government and took no action to stay the forces that seemed likely to wreck the very Nation itself.

The Exchange Resists.
(New York World Telegram. )

tNeW
 The New York Stock Exchange, with Richard Whitney it's President, is doing unWarranted thing and njuring itself when it fails to require its members to answer the Senate Banking Commit tees questionnaire in it's stock market inquiry.
 The Exchange has informed Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel that he was welcome to the records of the Exchange. But the Governors of the Exchange had voted he said, against submitting the questions to the Exchange members.
 MT. Pecora answers that if he must he will sub poena all the Exchange members witnesses This would be a big order and would consume tremend- ous amount of time. But it is apparently the com mittees only defense against the withheld co-opera- ton of the Exchange,
 The Stock Exchange, like witness pleading immunity, would but suspicion and criticism by refusing to make Exchange records available to the Senate investigators.
 The New York Stock Exchange, most vital power in American finance, has long operated as a private organization. But the end of that isolation promised by President Roosevelt in his campaign speeches. The question now is, What form will the supervision take and how far will it reach?
 Cooperation is always preferable to any ends achieved through compulson. We hope that the Exchange and MT. Whitney will cooperate with the Senate committee to the fullest to the end that this country may of safety against sheep shearing in Wall Street and against the violent market fluctuations which visit each great disaster upon many people.

CARD PARTY ENTRIES WILL
 CLOSE FRIDAY
Much Interest Is Being Aroused Locally in Big
 Event of Elks

Entries for the National Elks bridge party to be held simultan- eously in all Elks Clubs throughout the country on November A are beginning to pour in as people learn of the interesting way it is to be managed Locally the entry list closes tomorrow.
 A new kind of card is being used which allows the participants to play all hands for their respective positions, i e., north, east, etc., without moving from their table if they care to play with the same partner and adversaries all even ing.
 The cards will be dealt accord ing to a special marking on the back of each card and the tricks collected in the ordinary fashion without any of the complications of duplicate bridge while still re- taining the accuracy of duplicate in determining ability.
 This unique arrangement assures the entrant against having to play a partner or opponent not prev iously agreed upon. However, any one wishing to progress and play against different adversaries will be grouped with others choosing the same. Many are only select ing partners before entering and arrangements for adversaries will be made upon their arrival at the party unless they chose to pro gress.
 After the playing is completed a detailed discussion of how the eX- perts played these hands at both auction and contract will be given out, which will make an excellent lesson for all present
 Prizes for auction and contract will be awarded on the basis of a simple score sheet especially de- signed for this event

Bright Rift in the Horizon.
Seward Gateway

The entrance of William Dunkle into the Moose Pass quartz district is of the brightest augeres for immediate solution of economic problems in this portion of the Territory.
 MT Dunke is ultra-conservative in mining op- erations and the fact that he believes Moose Pass offers possibilities for productive mines answers a moot question: It should encourage others to enter the field.
 Moose Pass occupies the status as Willow Creek before MT. Dunke entered It and made a mine, employing more than 100 men, Doubling Thomases shook their heads and in the absence of such knowledge is possessed by MT. Dunkle, were content to discourage investors and pros pectors.
 One big mine in Moose Pass will go farther toward solving the economic problems of this sec ton than all the emergency money that might be allotted by Washington.
 If there is one man who develop this mine it is w. E. Dunkle His record covers long list of successful achievements It is pleasure to wish him every success and extend the apprecia- tion of Seward for his entry into this exceptionally promising field with it's abundant rich lodes.

 Think first what home ownership means to a family in moderate circumstances. Think of the tragedy that ensues when such family is forced by economic pressure to give up it's home-the home for which sacrifices have been made, and which symbozes a realized ideal as well as a painfully built-up accumulation of savings.
 Then you can understand partly, at least, what an excellent job the Home Owners Loan Corpora ton has done. It not only has prevented an economic loss it has averted great deal of pain, unadorned unhappiness It will continue to render the same high service in the future
