Until Christmas

For the convenience of the pub
lie the postoffice will be open Sat-
urday afternoons, December IL and

master F. II. Lincoln. It is urged
that as far as possible, parcels, es-
pecially for distant points be mailed
early to avoid the congestion and
delay that may take place the last
few days before Christmas. It is
also well to insure parcels If of any
great value or if going any dis
lance, as in case of breakage or loss
there is basis for claim which
does not apply to ordinary parcels.
Christmas will be generally observ-
ed Monday, the Goth, and special at
tention will, be given so that

delivered that day.
Ordinarily, labels or stamps, 9TH

placed on foreign packages. but this
does not apply during the Christ

ed that they are not placed on the

In great many cases it might be
preferable to use a Sc stamp which

SHORT TIME UNTIL ELECTION

in approximately six weeks September l5- Alaska voters will be going to the polls again to elecl a Delegate to Congress a Territorial Treasurer anu members of the Territorial Legislature Also uleIe will be an advisory ballot on whether the voters o the Territory favor unicameral one-house Legis- lature And it is purely advisory Regardless o low Alaskans vote it still will be up to Congress to deter mine whether not the Territory should pe peIn'eo to change it's present system.
 However as the Fairbanks Rews-Miner suggests it is time that political interest in the election was showing itself and the candidates presenting ther platforms to the electorate. Says Editor Settleneler in the News-Miner:
 Less than two months and Alaskans will go to the polls to again name Delegate and Territorial Treas urer and new Legislative members.
 Politicians of the big show and those of the lesser side shows are not sumberng. The people-Who should be more concerned than anyone else-the people who pay the taxes and bear the burdens oi government cannot afford to go to sleep.
 Issues of prime importance to Alaskans will be determined in the coming Territorial election-set for September 13N
 Some of the issues are little understood by a great percentage of the electorate Especially is this the case in respect to the referendum on the unl- camera proposal.
 This proposed experiment which many believe IS fraueht with menace to all interests, should not be voted up without a full knowledge of it's meaning.
 It requires weeks to get the facts out from the various centers to all precincts By this token, nfor- matcr to be thoroughly disseminated should now Dc on it's way This especially is the case in the Fourth Division-practicaly vast county perhaps the most far-fung in all American possessions.
 The necessity of the hour is clear Familiarze the electorate with the issues. Let the facts be made known and the candidates make clear where they stand-so that all may know for whom and for what they are to vote. And do it now

for third term The result has been a revival of wide ,read specnatons as to whether not he would again be candidate for the Presidency. There does seem to be a great deal of foundation for the Idea that MT Roosevelt would break long-standlng prece- dent which dates back to George Washington paru- cularly in view of the fact that in March of l9Sf ne said:
 My great ambition on January 3O 1941, is to h,rn over the desk and chair in the White House to my successor whoever he may be- with the assurance that am at the same time turning over to him as President a nation intact nation at peace, nation prosperous a nation clear in the knowledge ot what power it has to serve it's own citizens"
 More recently. in the year 1888 he authorized notification of a newspaper interview in which he denied ambitions for a third term.
 But the miners in Pueblo have started the third term ball rolling again and regardless of the ultimate outcome which we suspect will be the refusal of the President to seek third term of the reports are interesting Charles w. Hmd political writer for the New York Times has been doing a little ferreting around and he finds that the phraseology of third term advocates can be summarized in six major points advanced by the man on the street, namely:
 CD President Roosevelt should be given an oppor- tunity to complete the work he has begun-a work he was given an overwhelming mandate to carry on through his reelection in 1886.
 70 His Administration should be considered above the usual level of politics and Presidential ad- ministration because it is in the nature of social work meeting the changed requirements of a modern 
 C3) He should not be displaced simply because of precedent when there is no of evident nature to succeed him.
 (D Continuance of President Roosevelt in office positive assurance against both radical action and threats of dictatorship.
 (5) The country would not accept another mo- minee
 (6) Precedents established in the easy-going period prior to the world revolution of the past decade no longer hold force or effect.

FRIDAY LILLY 29. 1898

FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1938
 After the early morning hours, adverse aspects dominate today, ac- cording to astrology. The planetary government favors women who are immersed in domestic affairs.
 While there is a good sign for completing what has been well started, beginnings of every sort will not progress rapidly and should be postponed.
 Secrecy is encouraged by this configurati which presages ln- trigue and double-dealing. Many se- cret marriages are forecast. We'd dings on the dole will multiply.
 Threatening portents continue to rule labor affairs, but the autumn will be marked by the speeding up of many industries.
 Social service projects are under a rule of the stars which warns of unusual problems and increased difficulties. The coming winter will be perilouS to cities where unem- ployment is not diminishing.
 Race antagonism will be promln- ent in coming weeks. Principles of the American nation will often be ignored by hostile groups.
 Girls come under configuration which inspires effort to be con- spicuous. Coiffures as well as cos tunes are to reveal many cagaries of the feminine mind.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of definite progress in business or profession al plans. Work that is successful is foretold.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely methodical as well as studious. These subjects of Leo may be gifted in scientific research.
 William Beebe, scientist and ex- plorer, was born on this day 1877. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Benito Musso- lini, Italian dictator, 1883; Booth Tarkington, author, 1869.
