have since been terrifying the boundary to the

DEATH IN THE HEADLINES

The first thought in the mind OF everyone who
reads that veteran Alaska sea captain has died
ashore by drowning in automobile accident is that
fate in her infinite variety has played here a trick
grimmer than usual. who cheated death a
thousand times angry waters finally dies in muddy
river
Another thought which presents itself is that
the modern automobile is indeed perfidious thing.
We think of the life of a skipper at hazardous
but the automobile has long since passed the steam
ship as a threat to life and limb.
In Alaska, where there really not very many
automobiles, not as impressed by the danger
of traffic the people in the States where news
paper editors in small towns count on a
traffic death week to put their front pages
Automobiles are dangerous. They the most
dangerous mechanisms man has ever invented not
excepting battle planes, warships. 1t pays
to be careful when we are around them.

How Hoover Did II
cleveland Plain Dealer)

Herbert Hoover in a letter to Senator Capper OF
Kansas asks the latter's help in refuting what he
terms the "od lie" that as President he had opposed
governmental action to prevent hunger and cold
among our citizens" This charge the former Presi-
dent complains recently made by Senator Scnwel-
lenbach of Washington in radio DEBATE with the
Kansan
To support his contention, Mr. Hoover cites RFC
loans made to the States for relief purposes as well
several other measures including the creation OF
a national organization for unemployment relef, as
early october IT, 1880 He concludes: This relief
was efficient There certainly no more hard
ship in the country than there is today.
At this date it seems bit feckles to rehearse
the relief history of the Hoover years But it is the
former President who raises the issue. If Senator
Schwelenbach correctly reported, it would appear
that he was wrong in saying that Mr. Hoover argued
against" Federal action for relief
But those who lived through the relief struggles
of those years will gasp at the former Presidents as
sertion that his administration relief was efficient
and adequate
On the contrary, those years saw continuous
struggle to match failing and inadequate resources
against a steadily growing national problem Inc
President quotes with apparent satisfaction, state
nent he made on February 49, 1881 that IF the time
should ever come when the voluntary agencies OF this
country together with local and state governments
unable to find resources to prevent hunger and
suffering I will ask the aid OF every resource OF
the FeueTdl government
The tragedy of the Hoover administration was
that even then than year after the 1929 COL
lapse the President did not realize that the time
he mentioned had come indeed that it had arrived
some time previously. Instead, then and for Two
years afterward the Hoover administration was de-
ludng itself with wishful thinking Thus in his con-
eresSional message of December 1892 Hoover, citing
his relief policy spoke of these measures which have
procured this turn toward recovery" This was when
prosperity was close around the Hoover corner.
In Cleveland in 1882 mob fought police at
relief station, another mob seeking to reach the
mayors office, was ridden down by police. The cti
zens' committee under the late A. v. Cannon was
fighting to make officials at Columbus and Washing
ton realize the gravity of the Cleveland situation.
glance through the newspaper files of the period
shows the same conditions in many other cities.
OF course it is not fair to blame all this upon Mr.
Hoover. No fair-mnded person, then now, could
doubt that he striving to do his best There
plenty of others who made the mistakes he did
in msjudging relief needs But the Hoover best was
not good enough Such the decision of the voters
in 1882 Such must be the verdict Of those who look
effectively at the record of 1898
No will contend that the relief problem is
solved But at least longer have gun battles at
Cleveland relief offices, is it necessary to keep
mounted police at the City Hall door

James Hawkins, two-year-old

early this morning at the Govern

vanced tubercular trouble.
The child was brought to Juneau
yesterday by plane, an emergency
trip made by Clayton Scott, private
pilot for w. E. Boeing, as no COM
mercial plane was available at the
time. The trip was necessitated
because the young native baby,

Hawkins accompanied her child to
Juneau.
The remains are at the Charles

Long-Tottering Outfit
Optimistic About 40
Under New Pilot
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 28.-Hustle
Bustle frankie Frisch has been
around the Smoky City only a few
days, but it's plain the new manager
of the Pirates already has put some
of his magic pep into the tottering
baseball team.
No sooner had he bounded onto
the scene than the diSheartened
Pirate business Office took on an
optimistic tone.
Publicity Man Jim Long looked at
it like this:
He puts pep into the other fell
lows. Lots Of life and hustle. He
insists on it and gets it.
why, he even stopped in the mid
die of a Rotary Club speech to say:
Now that infielder. I gotta do this
- He's all baseball and that's the
best way"
Talking Spring Training.
Frisch, the old Giants star and
former pilot of the st. Louis Cardi-
mails, breezed out of a conference
with club President Bill Benswan-
ger and declared:
I've got a ball club here. Right
now we're talking spring training.
III have more to say about deals
on December 6 (after the minor
leagues meeting at CincinnatiD I'm
interested in anybody that can
strengthen our club.
Sure I like Pittsburgh. I been
comm here 20 years"
The Pirates quickly forgot they
wound up in sixth place last season.
Now they talk I'VE were the most
consistent first division club in the
league for 40 years"
Then they let off a little steam
about the six players they got at the
end of the season for upward of
100000, to say nothing of nine men
recalled from option.
Feels Davis Will Help.
Frisch yesterday announced pur-
chase of Veteran Catcher Virgil
(Spud Davis from the Philadelphia
Phillies and said he expected the
210-pound backstop to boost the
hitting punch of the Pirates. Davis
native of Birmingham, Ala, hit
.307 with the Phils last year and
has a 309 average for his IL years
in the National League.
The good news for next year keeps
coming. A letter from Third Sacker
Lee Handley in Peoria, ILL.,, says hes
feeling fine and gained back the IL
pounds he lost. Handley was out the
last three weeks of the season
because of whooping cough he
caught from his year-old son.
