HIRST CHICHAGOF
 STRONG ON SAFETY

H. B. Humphrey, Safety Engineer of the United States Bureau of Mines has returned to Juneau from Chichagof Island, where he went early this month to conduct safety classes in the Chichagof and Hirst Chichagof mines.
 Both of these mines had under taken earlier courses in 1881 and 1882 but had no instruction from the latter date until MT. Humph- rey's visit.
 Judging from the completeness with which the Tfirst Chichagof per- sonnel went into safety instruction, they probably can make strong bid for premier honors in Alaska today. Not only did the 47 mine workers take 100 per cent instruc- tion, but the entire personnel of the camp-women and children in- cluded, also enrolled. Even the dogs trotted, along to class with the youngsters.
 The course consisted of. first aid instruction two hours per day for seven days. The women and chil- dren took class in the morning, the night shift was instructed in the afternoon, and the day shift work CTS took instruction in the evening. The Hirst Chichagof Mines 100 per cent adoption of safety instruction is attributed to the interest of Sup- erintendent P w. Sorenson, who be- fore coming to Alaska was operat- ing in the Southwest where safety work has been recognized as in- dispensable for a number of years.
 The majority of all workers at the Chichagof mine also completed the full safety course.

NEW INDIAN ACT
 ISEXPLA|NEDAT AT Q. OF c. SESSION
Benefits to Juneau, Other
 Communities Will Fol- ;. low New Setup

Explanation of the purpose and aims of the Wheeler Howard Act as it applies to Alaska was given the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today at it's weekly luncheon meet ing in the Terminal Cafe. The in formation was brought to the body by o. H. Lipps, Field Representa- tive of Commissioner John Collier of the Indian Bureau, Charles w. Miller, Superintendent of Wrangell Institute, and William Paul. new Field Representative for the Terri tory for administration of the new act.
 Major purpose of the act is to improve the economic condition of the Indian and give him an equality of opportunity with other races, MT. Lipps said. He told, based on years of experience both as head of the old Carlyle Indian School and later Chemawa Industrial School in Ore- gon, of the natural capabilities of the Indians and their capacity for advancement. He said he will be here about three months getting the preliminary organization work started and it is expected some of the program will be in operation by next year.
 Aid To Juneau
 MT. Paul told of the benefits that would be forthcoming to Juneau and other communities through the im- proved economic status of the rn- dian. Under the Act, he explained, the Indians will organize in com- munities and thus operate various industries and engage in various pursuits to increase their income. As this income is. increased, the h. dians will have more money to spend on the things they need and naturally will spend it in the cities and towns of Alaska, he said. He explained that the low income of the Indians often forces them to send outside for. cheaper goods than are available in the north With she raised standard they will be in position to give more of their busi- ness to. the merchants of the north.
 Superintendent Miller reported they were expecting a. big year at Wrangell- Institute and told of the work that is being done among the Indians there, pointing out that ex- .ension of the Wheeler Howard act 70 the Territory is sure to further he work of that institution.
 Miss Esther Morris, new head of Home. Economies in the Territory under the. Vocational Education di- vision of the Territorial Department 1f Education, was introduced by A. E. Schoettler. Vocational Education Director. and expressed pleasure at coming to the North to carry on her work.

PSYCHOLOGY IMPORTANT

Although it is not always true. the sayin that "as Maine goes, so goes the nation" has come to have a wide acceptance among voters generally
 Some Democrats speak of it as a Republican invention Since Maine is normally Republican state, it may be counted on to go Republi- can in Republican years, and some times also in Democratic years.
 The facts do not even warrant an assumption, with respect to the Presidential election, that "as Maine goes, so goes Maine" Four years ago the state elected a Dem ocratic Governor in September, but voted for Hoover in November; for the state election and the national election not only are divided by a matter of months, but often are waged on entirely different issues.
 This, however, is the factual side of the business and politics very often does not rest on factual base at all It deals instead in theories and psychological calcula- tions. With regard to Maine, the politicians are interested not so much in what the returns actually mean, as in the interpretation which the public may place upon them
 CUES THE BANDWAGON
 There can be no doubt, for in- stance, that when Maine went Democratic in September of 1882, the event made profound impress sion throughout the country.
 It did not mean. as it turned out, that the Republican national ticket had lost Maine. Furthermore, had the result been the other way, and had the September election return ed substantial Republican major ity in Maine, there is no proof that MT. Hoover might not still have been defeated in the nation in No- vember.. W.,s
 But it did mean that the Repub- lican managers had suffered shock and surprise. and the psychologi-
