PRESIDENT SOUNDS RIGHT NOTE.

In his annual message to Congress, President
Roosevelt sounded a note that ought to appeal to
members of that body and find ready appreciation
throughout the country regardless of party. The
message kindly document nonpartisan one

body in its special session last Spring and Summer

Perhaps it would be too much to expect that the
Republicans with a Congressional election coming
along next Fall to go that far. Undoubtedly, they
will be active politically than they were in the
special session. That they will criticise often and
sharply is foregone conclusion. Constructive crti
cism is always welcome A militantly vigilant min
GRITTY is fine thing for the majority. But mere
captious faultfinding, criticism for partisan gains
only without regard for the effect it might have
upon the gains already made against the depression
is something not to be condoned The country is
not in a mood to do it either. The cold reception
given the latest pampheteering done by the Re-
publican National Committee ought to at least make
that party cautious for the present.
Yet it seems to have taught Representative Bert
rand Smell, Republican Minority Leader in the
House, very little His comment that he not
willing to give President Roosevelt any power that
any Republican President had possessed is typical
of the purely politically minded. Regardless of emer-
gences, no matter what the national stress might
be, or how distressed people might become, he would
deny President Roosevelt to act merely because
President Hoover other Republican Chief
Executive didn't have it. That attitude represents
defeatism at its worse and is strikingy at variance
with the broad-minded, liberal position taken by
Mr.. Roosevelt.
BY his frank and friendly address to the Con-
gress, the President has strengthened his position
because he has added to the already tremendous
prestige he possesses throughout the country. He

MORE sCH0oLaoUsEs FOR ALASKA.

Since the creation the Territorial public
school system in 1917, Alaska has placed education
Of its children at the tcp of its budget. 1t was
liberal at the outset 1t has grown generous since,
in fact have said it is prodgal 1t has at
tempted to give workable education to every child
within its borders Due to its vast and the
wide scattering of communities have been high,
to have been expected Yet this has not
deferred the Territory from assuming in COM
minities all the of schools including building,
op grafton and maintenance. and in defrayng the
greater proportion of costs in every community,
REF ardess of size, of maintenance and operation.
For many years, schoolhouses were built, rented
or bought wherever there were sufficient children
TO organize school. During the past three years,
however, lack of funds due to the depressed condi-
tcn of industry has made it impossible to continue
this policy. 1t about all the Territory could
do to defray operating and maintenance costs OF
existing institutions. However bad the need might
be- it wasn't felt economically possible to do any
building. The fact that no school was closed, and
school term was curtailed by reason of lack OF
funds is greatly to the Territorys credit and is in
striking contrast to what has taken place in the
school systems of almost all the States.
Thus, the ALLEGATION of sl75OO0 for construction
of 10 new school buildings and additions to three
others is particularly timely Not only will the
expenditure of this money together with some $780,
600 appropriated by the last legislature furnish
employment in as many communities there are
schools in the project, but it will be of lasting
social benefit to Alaska.
To Commissioner Anthony E. Karnes, head OF
the school system, who initiated the program and
worked out its details, Gov. Troy who not only
included it in the Territorial PWA list but who
urged its Importance personally while in Washing
ton and Delegate Dimond for his active interest
in keeping it alive, all the credit for its adoption
by the Public Works Administration is due

Mrs Charles H. Sabin and the 100000 members

But the great work these women did for the

Democratic platform regardless of party affiliations
their invaluable aid in rallyng the States to ratfy

Mrs Sabin Mrs Courtlandt Nicoll Mrs. John
Sheppard, Mrs. Edward s. Moore and many others
have shown leadership organizing ability of the
highest order.
Women are said to be lacking in logic Yet Mrs
Sabins logic is excellent in holding that since con-
troll OF liquor has been restored to the States the
influence of should likewise return to within
State lines. She says:
We recognize the fact that the forty-eight
States are now, in effect, forty Eight labora-
tories wherein experiments in liquor control
will be carried on for years to come. The
educational program conducted by our or
ganization during the last four years and
host of sincere and enlightened women
leaders is our insurance that these expert
ments will be carried intellgently
We must not repeat the mistakes of the
Womens Christian Temperance Union and
the Anti-Saloon League.
1t Is not alone in the field of legislation that
women can henceforth help. Their influence should
prove even greater on the social side.
Now that repeal is secured, no one can do more
than wives mothers, sisters and sweethearts toward
spreading habits of moderate socialized discriminate
