I am not speaking for him. I am

I asked Mr.. Landon If he could tell
me what was the secret of Gov. Lam
don's popularity with the people, and
he answered it in this way:
Speaking all the time just for my
self, and not for Alf, remember,
think there are two outstanding rea-
sons. One is that he is a clean, hon.
orable and capable man, and the peo-
pie know it. Another is hs itlborn
hatred Of waste and his genius for
thrift.
Another reason for his popularity
Is his fearless frankness. He hasn't
any secret schemes, nothing to hide.
There is no bug under his chip. He
makes no promises he does not mean
to keep. In fact, he makes few prom
ises. Therefore. he is not all things
to all men. as many politicians are,
but he is the same to all men, open
and above board"

clined to practice law Instead, he

Independence as a clerk"
Oil in His Blood.
But" Mr.. Landon continued, che
was born, like myself, with oil in his
blood. In his Summer vacations while
a student in the University of Kansas,
he worked in the oil fields in Kansas
and Oklahoma, worked hard, just like
any laborer. His wages were S225 a
day, and his hardest work was on
the laying of pipe lines. Many night
he slept on the ground. Many time
his overalls were soaked with oil and
grease.
He was a good all-around work
man in the oil fields. And I think
that when he went into the bank
his mind was on the oil, for it wasn't
long until he gave up his work in
the bank and went down into the
Usage Indian country and bought an
oil lease with a we'll or two on It. He
still owns that lease, and a good many
more besides. Since he started out
for himself he has always been an
independent oil producer. never
hitched up with any of the big COM
panies, and he has done we'll at it."

Since he came out of college he has
always paid his bills and supported
his family. That is enough. isn't it?
He never promoted nor sold stock in
any oil we'll. He drilled his own wells
and paid his own bills. Alt is a good
business man. if I do say it myself.
No one ever sold Alt anything he did
not need, and he always paid for
what he bought; therefore, from the

LAND0N'S FATHER !
B00MS HIS SON
Wants to See AIf President
and DecaIres Him Fit
for Job.
BY A. B. MACDONALD.

TOPEKA, March Z (N.A.N.A).-
Talking with John M. Landon about
his son ALI was reminded of those
verses by James Witcomb Riley, "The
Old Man and Jin," in which, what
ever his son did, or whatever happened
to him, "the old man 'peared wrapped
up in him."
Through the greater part of a day
Mr.. Landon and I had almost wholly
to ourselves the big living room Of
Gov. Landon's home (they call it the
executive mansion" here). A gas
fire blazed cheerily in an open fire
place. Mr.. Landon lounged comfort
ably in one easy chair, and I In
another, serving table between us
loaded with cigars, and the old gentle
man smoked steadily all through, as
we talked.
Il am going on 80 years DID," he
said. Il have given up any kind Of
business completely. have shut up my
house in Independence and live here
with Alt"
Wants to See Him President.
He took the cigar between his thumb
and two forefingers and rolled it
around and around, watching it. II
want to live long enough to see. Alt
elected President of these United
States. Alf is fit for the job in every
way"
Gov. Landon is your only son?"
"Yes. Wife and I had only two
children, ALI and Helen. When we
lived in Marietta. Ohio, and they were
both children, they took diphtheria
and Helen died. She was Z, one
year younger than ALI. That was the
first great sorrow that came into Alf's
life. I remember now, as if it was
yesterday. how ALI grieved about that
His second great sorrow was when
his first wife died, after the birth Of
Peggy Ann"
Asked to tell something Of Ais
boyhood in Marietta, Mr.. Landon
said:
He had the life of an average boy,
good in his studies in school, but not
precocious. He was sturdy and active,
loved base ball and other athletic
games, was a fine swimmer and loved
horseback riding.
Always Liked Horses.
HE has always been a horseback
rider. even to this day. Until this
recent cold snap, with Its icy streets,
prevented it. ALI never missed a can
ter on horseback every day. And he
has kept up his love of sports He is
great base ball and foot ball fan.
"Of course, you know he is a hunter
and fisherman. Many stories have
been written about that. but there Is
one sport he takes no interest in-he
does not play golf"
In 1904, when ALT was II years
old, Mr.. Landon was appointed mana
ger Of the Kansas Natural Gas Co. In
independence, and he moved with his
family to that town. He intended ALI
to be a lawyer and sent him to the
University Of Kansas.
Looking back at 1t now, I can see
that ALT demonstrated his capacity
for leadership and economy while a
student in Kansas University" said
Mr. Landon. He was twice elected
and served two terms as president Of
the Phi Gamma Delta Chapter there,
and he introduced in the fraternity
house the budget system that saved
them considerable money. All was a

in two ways that strongly resemble
the competence of his bearded and
distracted ancestor. He will be a
pathfinder in his own field, and he
will communicate the contagion of
his own learning, the fire Of his own
intellectual interests to his students.
The professor today is perhaps more
of the contemporary world than his
predecessor but he still feels the
responsibility to his calling, which
is what it always has been-the
breaking of new ground in thought
and knowledge, and the liberating
of the minds of the young.

 The largest army and navy appropriation bills ever to be approved by Congress in peacetime year have been passed by both houses and await only

 Congress is told by the iSoationists who now do it's thinking in international affairs, that 1t is no business of to help create effective machinery for the preservation of peace and order The isolation ists prefer to rely adequate armaments. But the trouble with adequate armaments is that what appears to be adequate for nation ceases to be adequate soon another nation adds to its fleet or increases it's air force. Because the world lacks effective machinery for preserving peace, our own armaments cost nearly billion dollars an- nually.

CRASHING ALASKA's OPPORTUNITY

After seeing the country contacting the people in the main centers and hearing their reports, Dr Ernest H Gruening Director of the Division of Terri tories, who is now in Alaska made this statement:
 Alaska faces future of steady consistent
 development of resources as yet scarcely
 scratched The tourist attractions in this re-
 zion are most marvellous. The inexhaustibe
 assets are due for immediate development.
 Are we in Alaska prepared to do part in an immediate development program? Have we, for ex- ample, desirable municipal airport site in Juneau in the event the air development program goes through? Are we in position to say here's the oca- tion, all need is the money to put it in shape? The race goes to the strongest and abes and those cities towns and communities in Alaska or else where which ready to take advantage of oppor- tuntes the ones who will receive the first bene- fits.
 There isn't any question about the development program for Alaska. Not in the history of the Terri tory has there been more friendly Administration in Washington such Alaska minded Congress. Only yesterday Senator Lewis B. Schwelenbach of Washington went with Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond before the Senate Appropriations Subcom- mittee and urged amendment to the deficiency bill to provide $20000O for an a-year air mail ser- vice between Juneau and Fairbanks via White horse, Y T. Dr. Gruening told us here the other day in Juneau while on his way to the Interior that air mail service between Seattle and Alaska was one of the first steps in the air mail program for the north
 We are trying to interest capital in mining and mineral development. The greatest need is reliable reports on properties; the sort that prospective ing enterprise will place faith in. Those could be obtained through the Territorial Department Mines f that department had sufficient money to put men in the field There is something for those candidates who hope to make the next Legislature to be think ing about Is the Territory going to do its share in promoting mineral development in the north?
 Our part in aviation, mining highway construc- tion, air mail all things considered seriously at this time, especially there is every reason to believe that the Territory stands on the threshold of vast development.
