belled And since the establish
ment of this country of ours, with
all its liberty and democracy. the
British people too have become free
from tyrants, despots and selfish
rulers.
William w, Victoria, Edward
VII, George V and now Edward
VIII all have been persons who III
their own right were worthy of re-
spect, alteration and obedience.
The more than quarter of a
century Of the reign of George v
and Mary was marked by all sorts
of progress in the British commun-
ity, and it was marred only by the
World war in which, however, the
king showed wisdom and discre-
ton. There have been labor trou-
bles, the Irish question and others
to worry the royal house, the par
lament and the people, but through
it all George and his consort have
been very reasonable, sympathetic
and understanding.
self to all the people of the world
by his modesty, his democracy, his
intense interest in human welfare,
and his cordial friendliness. 1t is
difficult for us who have no king to
understand just how the people Of
Great Britain cling so tenaciously
to their monarchy, but there may
be explanation in the fact that the
most recent rulers have been per-
sons who really acted in friendly
and sympathetic fashion, who re-
joiced with their people or wept
with them, as the occasion might
be, and who did not hold them
selves aloof as once was the man
ner of sovereigns.
OF course it is the parliament
that really has the power in Eng
land, and it often is remarked and
is quite true that actually the pres
ident Of the United States has more
real power than the king of Eng
land
The world mourns at the passing
ing world entertains sincere wishes
for happiness for King Edward and
for continued prosperity Of his
country and his subjects, and for
the welfare of the far flung empire.

Long Connection With Democrat
We notice where a number OF
persons have stated that they are
in the 50-year class as readers Of
the Morgan County Democrat, and
we are in this class ourselves. We
do not know how much over SO
years we have been taking the pa
per, but so years ago this winter
our brother J. 3. was teacher Of the
Oak Grove school, and at the close
of the term he wrote a letter for
publication in the Democrat, COM
plimenting the school for their at
tainments along an educational
line, for this was known to be one
of the best schools to be found in
the community. We have been con-
tributing to it's columns locally for
80 years, first from Woodgrove,
and later from Reinersyille. Our
first writing was more than 80
years ago. but we dropped out as
contributor for short time, but
took up the work again at the solici-
we shall not keep up the work for a
great while, since our health has
become undermined and we cannot
get out and gather up locals as we
once did.

Kings


There is no break in the royal
succession in Great Britain. No
sooner was it ascertained that
George V had breathed his last
than the kingship of Edward VIII
was proclaimed. A very popular
monarch had passed away. His
son, whom not only his millions of
subjects love, but whom the whole
world holds in affection, assumed
the kingship in fact and in law,
though there remains the colorful
ceremony of coronation.
British monarchs have kept pace
in their democracy with the de-
mocracy of the empire and that OF
the world. It was against a very
despotic, choleric and perhaps
mentally i'll ancestor Of the present
ruler, and not against the royal
house as such nor the people OF
England as such that America re-

warning to all right-thinking citi- Zens
 The Post st-Intelligencer, in common with Seattles other two newspapers, has for years been produced by Un- ion Labor These Unions, compris- ing the Allied Printing Trades Council, composed of Pressmen, Typographers, Sterotypers, Photo Engravers and Mailers, have no quarrel with wages, hours or work ing conditions.
 The fact that they stood ready to go to work and fulfill their con- tracural obligations with this news paper is evidence of this.
 The fact that an organized mob of teamsters, longshoremen and timber workers, through intimida- tion and violence, is preventing these men from attending to their work provides a dramatic example of how certain labor racketeers hold this community in their grip.
 Whatever possible interest these teamster, longshoremen and timber worker unions can have in a rou- tine employment discharge that has caused no concern among the print ing trades unions may be hard for the average person to understand
 The answer, however, is simple
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-08-19

and to the thoughtful citizen it is fraught with sinister significance.
 Not content with their frequent attempts to throttle industry. these radical racketeers are attempting to demonstrate their power to threaten the very lifeblood of the community by silencing the voice of the press. e
 No community can be greater than it's newspapers. No commun- ity can hope to develop and pros per without the militant force of the press to fight constructively for it's good and to combat vigorously those influences detrimental to the public veal.
 The present situation is more than t-Intelligencer problem. It is a community problem and the personal concern of every citizen.
 The battle lines are plainly drawn. The emancipation of Seattle and the Northwest from the clutches of certain racketeering labor leaders is at stake.
 The Post-Intelligencer is glad to accept the challenge and while mob violence and intimidation may tenn porarily interrupt the publication of this newspaper the ultimate out come is as certain as. it is inevit- able.

EXPEDITION
 IS SCALING CANADA PEAK
Woods Party Has Base on Teepee Lake, Close to
 Alaska Boundary
Bn GEORGE D. REIMER

WOODS YUKON EXPEDITION CAMP, Teepee Lake, Y T., Aug, IS. Especial Correspondence I left camp at this morning to climb up 1000 feet above Teepee, and here I am, the entire St. Elias Range right in front of me, and not cloud anywhere.
 Our airplane is circling the lofty mountain at the head of Wolverine Creek to drop provisions and equip ment to the party of three, includ- ing MT. Woods, that is climbing to the top of this rugged and per- pendicular peak. The group sig nailed for more climbing rope the last time that the plane dropped supplies to them with a parachute.
 It is only 20 miles west of here to the Alaska boundary and Mt. Natazhat, one of the grandest mountains have ever sketched. It has peak like the Matterhorn. I brought in canvas and have just finished painting Teepee Lake.
 Party From NeU York
 Jean Jacques just came in with a hunting party from New York, 42 horses and 12 guides, all Indians with one exception. You can't lose these Yukon Indians in the wilds. Johnny Allen, the head guide, broke trail for Mary Joyce from Burwash, 70 miles east of here, to Fairbanks last winter.
 Shot Wild Game
 The party has shot sheep, moose, and bear already. They are four miles west of Teepee now and will go hunting from their camp base.
 I came in by auto truck and gas boat to Burwash Landing on Lake Kluane. It's 150 miles from White horse to Kluane Lake and 35 miles by boat to Burwash. Then it's one week, about 70 miles, to Lake Teepee on horseback, crossing some bad streams.
 The Donjack has 32 streams to be waded or swum. One must have horses and Indian guides to get over the Donjack, which is 3 miles from bank to bank.
 I am longing to get back to Ju- neau soon-be seeing you.

DOUGLAS NEVIS
,CANNERYMEN LEAVE;
 MEET WITH COUNCIL

Seeking assurance from the Doug las Council of continued co-opera- tion in respect to their continu ance of operations here during forthcoming seasons, Douglas can nery officials, J. M Slater, presi- dent and Philip Hague, secretary, met with the City Dads last night. They expect to install some new machinery for next year they said, and as the upkeep of the cannery part of the dock is up to them now, according to the new lease, they wanted to know that the rest of the wharf and approach will be repaired and kept up by the city so they will be sure of getting in and out of the cannery without trouble. Other items of expense to them such as water rentals in the future, and taxes, were questioned.
 As the Concord was awaiting the cannerymen to leave for the south, the meeting was cut short with the promise that the matter would be carefully considered at the next meeting and written report sent to them at Seattle. Their boat left with the two officials, and Ben Twiss and D. L Brink, two of the -canpery workers, for Seattle at 10:30 o'clock.
