JUST A MOMENT PLEASE
BY WICKEy WAMBOLDT .

The most he could say would be,
'"I don't admire your taste"
We cannot do much with The
fellow who qualities his dcclara-
tons with Think" We can set
to work to change his opinions;
we can try earnestly TO make
him see things differently; but
we cannot attack the correctness
of his declaration; if he says he
thinks it., that settles it--for he
and he alone knows whether or
not he thinks it; he may be lying,
but no one can prove it on him.
One may declare. You don I
think anything Of the kind But
if he insists that he does, then
what is there to do?
The person is in a strong posi-
ton who lacks 81 think" or 81
believe" onto controversial
statement. He can sit right back
on that and let his opponents
rave. They cant do anything
about it. They can't put him on
the spot. They can't break down
his defense. He can remain calm,
safe, and unafraid behind the i'm
,pregnablc bulwark Of 81 think. "

INDICATED BY A FRIEND,

rbose who recall General johnson in the high
DAVIS of the NRA, when he thought slngle~handed-
" he was about to bring in the millennium, perhaps
will discount somewhat the value of his Judgment
on mundane matters generally. However, his re-
MORT on the WPA, which has just begun to leak out
in fragmentary form. is interesting for number
of reasons, One is that it has been suppressed
successfully for a period of six months. Appar-
entity the intention was to make the suppression
permanent. Another is that it contains the most
incisive and inclusive indictment OF PWA yet
made. ''
|. Another is that it comes, not from an opponent
of Mr.. Roosevelt, not from Republican, not from
a creature of entrenched greed who taVorS
human rights" but from an admlring personal
friend who has already declared for his reelection
and who, as professional champion Of the down.
troddeai and oppressed, grades second only to Mr.
Roosevelt himself. There is also to De noted the
point that General Johnson got his data on the
WPA because, at Mr.. Roosevets request, ne took
the lob of WPA director for New York city, and
thus had unexcelled opportunities of seeing the
whole business from the inside.
Among the things which the General says OF the
WPA, in this report, these: ...
First, that more than half of all this effort Is
pfodigal pretense justified by nothing"
Second that sixty per cent of this invented
work is needlessly expensive and fatuous ges-
|ture"
To these statements he adds that "the only argu-
ment in favor of work relief is that it preserves
pride against the humiliation of home relief. Yet
to go on work relief the rules require that man
first go on home relief To get there he must sub
nit TO the equivalent of pauper's oath and most
humiHating inqusition. Prank Kent.

PITY THE kNocKER

Occasionally we hear person knocking their
own county or sate We feel like saying, Lord
pity the knocker" A kicking mule never pulls
load. If there's something wrong it is your duty
to try to help remedy the wrong, before you start
knocking" 81 .t
. Some people are prone to citicize public Off
cials. Could you do any better if you had their
job? The chances are that most of them are doing
their best and you only see one side of the prob
lem, or question.
: IL you don't like this county state, move out
at once. The railroads and steamship lines will
gladly take you to the other side Of the earth It
is poor policy to live in community and knock it.
You should believe in your family, community,
county, state and nation. You should boost them.
Phe fact is, you are living in good community.
You are in the center Of the world and it is I'D to
YOU to make good. The trouble may be with YOU
and not the world. Pity the Observation-Disclosures.

ALASKA MINE MAKES LARGE
 DAILY YIELD
Seattle Times)

You are going to hear increas- ingly more of the Lost Chicken Hill District at the head of Forty Mile River, equally distant from Eagle Alaska, and Dawson, Yukon Terri tory, predicts I. Harvey Van Hook who was in Seattle at the Bowman Hotel recently.
 Van Hook, who has been placer mining in the district the past thir- ty-five years, and who says he has always made better than a com fortable living, relates how one big dredge is taking between $1 800 and $2,000 a day out of the river bed. Van Hook says he himself has ta- ken $300000 out of the district since 1901, although that doesn't repre- sent profit by any means.
 Until recently it cost him 40 cents pound freight charges to have his food and supplies brought in over the frozen ice from Dawson. The increasing use of airplanes has brought the price down to about fourth of that amount, but it is still expensive to live.
 Van Hook took seventy-three ounces of dust out of one of his claims during the second week of June, he said The gold was worth about $50 an ounce to him.

PARIS, Aug. 25.-Colored gloves in autumn leaf tones came to town with the fall fashion displays shown in the salons of leading Paris de- signers.
 Molyneux showed brand new glace kid designs made for him by Chanut with his new autumn town clothes. They were. slip-on styles with turn down cuffs, their only trimming being a big kid-cov- cred button Not even on the backs where triple stitchings usually play around, was there a single note ot decoration.
 A number of colored suedes were also shown. Those, too. had plain backs but were often made without cuffs. tine top merely rolled and over-stitched by hand the way handkerchief herrs are done.
 Maple Shoes, Too
 Trees, leaves and moss inspired the colors for the gloves. Oak was the name for a light tan-slfnost yell low Cedar. elm and chestnut pro- vided various browns and. maple furnished the glowing red of the turned maple leaf in autumn. .
 The maple leaf shade was also seen in new shoes designed for early fall appearance. A spectator sports model in this soft red is made of a box calf, cut high in front and strap fastened with gold buckle at the side. The perforated trimming is underlaid with hiege kid s..

 Boots Are Good

PLANS FOR SITKA
 CHURCH ANNOUNCED

Rev L w. Riswold, Pastor of the Sitka Lutheran Church, who is stop ping in Juneau for a brief period has announced tentative plans for the erection of a modern building in Sitka to serve as a Lutheran Church and seamens reading room. H. B. Foss Company of Juneau will design the building, and the Sitka congregation hopes to get part of the expense of construction from a Federal H ou sing Administration loan
 According to Rev Riswold, the Sit- ka Lutheran Church was organized during the Russian occupancy, in 1840 It was discontinued in 1867 when the transfer was made to the United States and the church was later torn down.
 Pastor Riswold headed the forma- ton of corporation in 1885 for the erection of Lutheran church in Sitka. Since that time, the Lu- theran Church has been using the Sitka Presbyterian Church for its services and reading room.
 A great number of Juneau citi- zehs and firms have contributed to the fund for the erection of the Sit ka Lutheran Church. Rev. Ris- wold would also be grateful for do- nations of reading matter for the reading room.
 -.E E. Engstrom of Douglas has been appointed chairman of a com nittee, in charge of contributions to the project from this district.
