TWO REGULAR FELLOWS

Probably the secret of success Republic is the fact that most of us can take politics leave it alone Despite the harangue that is too often heard in the campaigns the actual stabs are only skin deep, and soon forget the dsagreeabe.
 fine example of that very thing demon strated in Des Moines the other day when two regu lar fellows got together the drought situation in the middle west They President Franklin Roosevelt and Gov Ali M. Landon of Kansas the two conenders for the presidential nomination Their supporters have rent the air with personal attacks on each, but when these finest types of American citizens got together the conversation something like this
 The President speaking You ought to get boat and try out the Potomac River. have taken weekend trips and they have done lot of good"
 Governor Landon replying: OK. I'll try it out'
 Interviewed later in his hotel Governor Landon was asked his personal estimate of the President
 He is very fine charming gentleman" said the Governor. 1T enjoyed meeting him and the other Governors"
 Reporters covering the meeting unanimous in their conclusions that MT Roosevelt in good form; thaO MT Landon in good form The cor respondents agreed there overt campaigning As Governor of Kansas, MT. Landon submitted to the President Kansas anti-drought plan calling for the creation of thousands of small ponds and for the construction of by FederalState cooperation to water in the districts drained by the Arkan- and Kansas rivers.
 Two regular fellows with the capacity to declare a one-day moratorium politics Pope's Ilad seems to cover it:
 Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend;
 And each brave foe in his soul friend.

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'

SEPTEMBER IT, 1935
 This is a day of fair promise, ac- cording to astrology. Benefic as poets rule strongly and many in- dustries should feel stimulating ef- fects.
 It is an suspicious sway under which to prepare blue prints and to sign contracts. Legal papers cf many sorts should be executed un- der this planetary government.
 Again women are wonderfully well directed by the stars which have for months foreshadowed un- usual public service for them and their organizations. Clubs and phil anthropic institutions should bene- fit.
 The stars smile upon brides and bridegroomS today. It is lucky day for weddings and seems to foreshadow prosperity. Brides, how ever, are enjoinsd to be careful housewives.
 Theatres of many sorts now should prosper in their preparation for the winter season which is to develop unsual conditions that are favorable.
 Much reading will bring profit to American periodicals in the com ing months when events will en- gross public attention and stir widespread discussion.
 This is a favorable day for shop ping and should be especially lucky for those who seek household fur nishings. Architects and interior decorators as well as merchants should profit exceedingly.
 Diet studies are recommended by astrologers who for months have prophesied the rising cost of food. In the Orient starvation will be widespread tfroughout the winter Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year Of much han piness. For the young many social pleasures are indicated and for old CT members of their families in- creased incomes.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of sanguine tempera- ment and industrious dispositions. Many subjects of this sign have artistic talents. Executive ability belongs to this sign of Virgo and : persons on the cusp partake of Libra characteristics.

A Republican Tribute
(BoSton TranScript)

(BoSton Transcript
 The anti-war speech which President Roosevelt made last night at Chatauqua was not alone an ex- pression of his personal sentiments It reflected believe, the almost unanimous opinion of the Ameri- can people. AS such it constituted notice to Europe that want none of it's quarres and that our understanding of our position "a good neigh bor' does not include standing mandate to take part in controversies which of business.
 Yet, for all our horror of war, not try of pacfsts. This point the President wisely phasized If there are he said "remoter nations that wish us not good but ill, they know that are strong; they know that and will defend 1ur- selves and defend neighborhood'

ALL PROPAGANDA

The resettlement administration makes no bones about the fact that the pictures are effective prop aganda. But then the Forest Ser vice never distributed photograph of a raging fire in the timber with out recognizing it's value in stirring public sentiment to greater protec- tive efforts.
 The difference represents the jump between Federal conservation of natural resources and Federal activity in social and economical questions which some factions con- tend should be left to the States. Thus arises the controversy.

PICTURES RARE IN PAST

Government photographs on so- biological questions in years past have been rare. Rather they have tended largely to demonstrate con- ditions such as need of forest fire protection, or merely to record pro- gress on government projects. such as dams and fire lookout towers.
 The Forest Service, for example, will supply on request photographs Illustrating the effects of good sand

and start all over again where they were the year before-no farther ahead.
 They not only take the earnings which Alaska has been good enough to give them out to spend in land that knows them not and wants nothing but their money, but con- tribute naught to the progress of the country.
 Another sort of men, ambitious and deter mined. who will not be baked, remain in the land and a certain percentage with the will and skill to do get out and create opportuni- ties for themselves In this realm it is chiefly in prospecting.
 The old placer areas and new areas now offer new opportunities especially with new modes and equipment for prospecting.
 Quartz properties in particular offer new opportunities It would be better to get out on hard-rock property offering only long chance than to take no chance at all to better ones self But there are thousands of square miles of territory in Alaska where there is likelihood of turning up profitable pay veins right in interior Alaska and many tributary to Fair banks.
 Once lode claim is located it should be opened. Trenching, tunneling and sinking can be carried on to advantage in winter as well as summer, especially if the work be start ed early enough.
 Winter opportunities in this land can be capitalized by remaining in the country and applying the same tireleSs energy of the early placer operators of the region, who worked all winter and had big returns to show in the spring
 Alaska's greatest stumbling block to steady progress is the fall exodus. It should stop.
 Men would be just as far, if not farther ahead if they remained here and did nothing but remain in their cabins all winter But there is no necessity for that when thousands of square miles offer opportunities-especia to the who will get behind the pick
 Alaska should be built up in winter rather than drained white. When she becomes land of year-round industry with a home people satisfied to push her development intensivey at all seasons she will advance as never before
 Many now with full pokes from the sea- sons activities should ponder well these facts and think twice before embarking waste full voyage to the Land of the Lotus.
 Alaska needs population It needs the sort en who come to work hard in the summer to rems Ire and help in building the Territory into gr, npire of the north. AS the News-M Miner says thu e countless opportunities in every one of the tho nds of square miles that is Alaska. Though it ref imarily to Fairbanks and the Interior a simi tuation prevails throughout the Territory a ose with little foresight do well to pause a nsider the advantages in the north before u elk south again to spend their hard-earned cash me back in the spring empty-handed.

Jones Motor Co.
Has Seven of
Group Employed

The R. N. Jones Motor Co.,
Dodge and Plymouth Dealers, 1900
Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis,
has seven Negro employees. In ad-
dition to Robert Bolton, who is
sales representative, the firm has
in its employ the following men:
William Cannon, Ronald Judy,
Lloyd Shanks, John Nellie, Clar-
ence Underwood and Jess Page.
The Jones concern employs more
Race men than any motor company
in Minneapolis. This is in direct
contrast to firm in the 700 block
on south Sixth Street which is an
agency for Chevrolet autos. Three
months ago the firm imported a
southern manager. AS soon as he
glimpsed a member of the group
who had been in the employ of the
firm for several years, he found an
excuse to ask for his resignation.
Several members of the group who
purchased new cars formerly from
the. firm in question, heard of the
incident and made their new car
purchases elsewhere.
