WEDNESDAY, APRIL Is, 1886
Although adverse signs contend
with benefic influences today, ac-
cording to astrology, good fortune
appears to be widely and generally
distributed under this planetary
government.
In the morning hours the stock
market may be uncertain due to
legislation that affects agriculture
and adds anxiety to taxpayers.
Industry will be affected all
through the summer by unrest am

Dissension in labor organizations
may be far-reaching.
Again astrologers foretell that old
persons and old additions will rap
idly pass from the limelight. The
young will be drawn into heavy
responsibilities and will change the
order of things. IA
Women come under stimulating
planetary influences that presage
prominence in public affairs. They
are to apply their housekeeping
experience to civic reforms, it is
prophesied.
This should be happy wedding

Use wealth. Long partnership is
foretold. The children will prove
their ability to gain success.
Theatres should profit today. Mo-
ton pictures are to gain through
remarkable inventions and wise sell

is to be popular.
All who are wise will travel abroad
in the coming summer, for there will
be rapid vanishing of historic build

ancient cities.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of business and

GOOD WORK, PILOT SIMMONS

The mercy flight of Pilot Sheldon Simmons OF the
Alaska Air Transport of Juneau accompanied by his
flight mechanic Wfred Lund, which located the
plane in which pilot Albert Almosino and his bride
had been missing for week, and led to the finding
of the pair shortly after by the U. s. Coast Guard
Cutter Cyane is another outstanding example OF the
courage ability and intelligence of Alaskan fhers
Although the Benin Canal area had previously
been searched by the Coast Guard, Pilot Simmons
figured from fliers point of view that it was the
most likely place to find the missing plane. With
rain and prevailing, and visibility at times less
than a quarter of mile, he diligently searched every
inlet and rewarded by finding the plane and
reporting the Coast Guard in Ketchikan who again
took up the search and located Almosno and his
bride who had been without food and fire for six days
This is the second search for missing planes by
Pilot Simmons that has resulted directly in the saw
ing of lives
The rescue also shows the Importance of having
planes based in Juneau throughout the year SO that
authorities may call upon them for mercy and rescue
flights as was done in this when the emergency
arises

Roosevelt And Business.
New York Times

New York Times
President Roosevelt summoned American business
new crusade last week, when he urged it to take
up the slack of unemployment and by that means en-
able the Government to scale down its relief
expenditures. To Congress he said that he sees no
reason to believe that business can absorb large
numbers OF new employees by individual and unco-
ordnated action" his judgment what is needed Is
something surprising individual acton-"a vigorous
effort on national scale" But to this the voice oil
experience answers that earlier efforts OF this KIND
have failed sgnay to accomplish what was expected
of them.
AS early as November 1929 Immediately after the
stock market panic, President Hoover summoned an
emergency conference of business men to meet in
Washington, in effort to obtain united action to
maintain wages and employment That effort failed
because the forces of eflaton were too strong Tor IT,
Other similar efforts followed There were disappont-
ing share the-work campaigns and drives TO
stimulate employment by bringing the public back
into the market for goods The most ambitious OF all
efforts solve the problem of unemployment by con-
certed action under Government auspices was MIA
But NRA lost its initial impetus and the code
system was deterorating rapidly when Supreme
Court decision interrupted it, When it ceased to exist
no loss of employment followed On the contrary,
business promptly expanded and employment mace
fresh gains.
The lesson of the depression years is that the
problem of unemployment is less likely to be solved by
governmental drives" than by the individual and
uncoordinated action" in which Mr.. Roosevelt eX-
pressed small faith. If five million more men are at
work today than in the Spring of 1888 it is primarily
because many thousands of large and small employ
ers have been enabled to increase production in con-
sequence rising prices restored confidence and i'm
proved demand They will eagerly put more men at
work as rapidly conditions enable them to operate
at profit.
Certainly in this respect the present outlook is
favorable. Not only natural forces now running
strongly in the direction Of recovery; in addition,
some of the political uncertainties which handicapped
business have been removed. There is less concern
today year ago the possibility OF further
deyauation of the dollars. The fears aroused last
Spring by the introduction of radical banking bill
have been quoted by the enactment of that measure
in a much amended form. There is no apparent dis
position the part of Congress to resurrect the code
system
other political uncertainties remain, but none
which could not be dssipated by an Administration
which set out Systematically to increase employment
by encouraging business to expand.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS

The Republicans have and gone from their
conventions in Douglas It is appropriate that the
plural be used as the echoes of those conventions
doubtless will be heard through the G. Q. p ranks
in Alaska for years to One delegate expressed
it quite adequately when he said, I'VE may not have
accomplished much but it will be long time before
they forget the Douglas convention"
That there is a very definite split in the party
ranks is admitted on all Sides but where it will lead
from the national Republican organization is mat
ter to be decided undoubtedly at the Cleveland con-
vention in June Albert White who has been the
Republican Chairman for three years, expressed the
belief that with the aid of Senator William E. Borah
of Idaho asprant for the Republican Presidential
nomination and close friend of Mr.. White, MS side
would win seals in the nauonal convention. The other
faction, headed by Clyde Ellis CT Anchorage, H. L..
Faulkner of Juneau and several others, is equally
satisfied that it will be successful at Cleveland on
grounds of rreguarty in conducting the convention
here 1t is the latter factions contention that the
White forces invoked without authority the gag
rule; in other words the unit rule which binds an
entire delegation to vote as unit at the Will OF
the majority of the delegation Mr.. White controlled
81 of the SO in the First Division and thus was
able to put the unit rule into effect with temporary
chairman who supported the idea. Mr.. White sup
ported his action the premise that his organlza-
ton would have been crushed if he had not done SO
which probably is true it evident that large
number of the delegates actually present in the con-
vention hall were not in sympathy with his action
So the split resulted and two groups of Republicans
held conventions in Douglas elected two sets OF
delegates to the national convention and adopted two
platforms with much the same context.
It is probable the Alaska Republican situation
will have little bearing on the national picture
but is indicative of the dissenson throughout Re-
pubcanism at the present time the party attempts
to head off President Roosevelt. California has
similar situation. There three factions are founo
