free worship? America has fought
and won the right to worship God
as each individual believes he
should No ban is placed on any
Church organization throughout our
country. No one is seized and sent
to concentration camps. no churches
are closed by political authorities,
and no one has to hide IN damp
musty cellars to find free worship.
America is called THE Land of the
Free.
I'VE want no kings but kings Of
toll
No crowns but crowns of deeds
Not royal birth but sterling worth
Must crown the man who leads. /"
wrote Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
So let every American be awak-
ened to the dangers that threaten
our country and come into a full
understanding and appreciation of

one point for example where Herr Goebbels forgets
that he is assailing democracy and finds himself be-
aboring capitalism Nazi writer's really free be-
cause they are free to serve the state. Democratic
writer's are not free because they are in the pay of

PLANNING FOR SETTLEMENT

inst is the Biennial session of the Alaska PAN
ming Council comes to an end notice comes from Wash
raton that IL at least one direction the Councils
efforts have gone farther than conversation Approved
By Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes is a
Pannmg Council inspired and proposed project for
a soil survey oi land IN the Matanuska Valley ano
sustna River nats.
Object Of the survey, which is to be carried on
other governmental agencies in both the Interior and
Agriculture Departments with the help OF the Plan
ming Council is to gather information for individuals
and groups interested in farming in Alaska.
The Planning Council holds it is desirable to
promote settlement where there already exist some
public facilities such as roads, schools, hospitals ano
cooperative marketing and buying agencies such a.
Matanl. offers To place colonists in wilder
ness area no meter how rich the soil or how ambt-
Gus the would-be farmer is folly.
Tt is expected the Matanuske and Susitna study
will show the value of soil surveys in the development
Of the Territory and will be followed by other studies
Of similar nature in other places in Alaska which
appear to offer good possibilities for settlement
Regional Forester B. rank Hentzleman who re-
turned this week from Washington found that al
agencies at the Capital which deal with land ano
resource management in Alaska are receiving many
inquiries regarding settlement possibilities in the Ter
ritory
Offtand it would there were abundant pos
sbilities But offhand impressions are not enough
in matter of this kind and by the time the first
survey is completed Alaska will have definite infor-
nation to lay before farmers who increasingly are
looking to the north.

1t Didn't Happen in Miami
philadelphia Record


Elections were scheduled for recent Tuesday in
Miami Florida Municipal contests hot. Several
foul-mnded politicians seized with bright idea
Ito keep the Negroes from voting in the belief that
would hurt the opposition
All the usual TX K methods used. Warn
ing fires lit Burning dotted the country
Cavalcades of automobiles went through the Negro
district with warning signs A Negro hanged in
effigy with the placard: He Voted"
We suppose the German papers could seize on
this to show that minorties aren't treated any too
well in America either They could run the para
graphs above and gloat But they couldn't print the
rest of the story.
This is it: Police Chief H. Leslie Quigg, of
Miami gave personal assurances to the Negroes that
they would be protected in their right to vote Special
police squads ordered to duty. Negroes turned
out in numbers Their vote was five times the usual
Negro vote for the city.
That's the difference between free country and
Nazi Germany. We have share of haters There
is hate wherever there ignorance spiritual mean
ness and political racketeers.
But in free America, hate is private industry,
not government monopoly 1t is not an official
theory of the State 1t is fought, not encouraged by
the law 1t is condemned not taught, in the schools
We're not perfect We're not angels But we try to
develop the better side of man, not to glorify the
worse

SATURDAY, MAY 81. 1889

Good fortune should attend many
inhabitants of the planet Earth to-
day, according to astrology. Benefic
aspects are dominant, though warn
ing is given that there will be much
deceitfulness and secret plotting.
The mind should be alert and
analyze personal needs Relaxation
and outdoor exercise are recon-
mended. Short journeys are under
fortunate sway.
Heads of educa tional institutions
come under promising signs which
presage success in the seasons
work Many college graduates OF this
year are to have extraordinary
careers. Foreign service will engage
number of young men.
Amusements over this weekend
may be less popular than usual, ow-
/ ing to competing interests. Sum
mer stock companies will be sue
ceSsful.
| Baseball and other outdoor sports
are to gain in general interest
through the summer which will be
unusual in its opportunities to de-
velop players.
Jupiter is in an aspect supposed
to be fortunate for international ne
gotiations. Diplomacy, however is
subject to planetary influences max
, ing for uncertainties that cause high
hopes and then severe disappoint-
ments.
Greece and Rumania will face
crises, economic and governmental,
through the year. Surprising pages
IN European history are to be added
to those already written in the last
twelve months.
: Differences of opinion among
German statesmen are indicated as
likely to multiply. Saturn stationary
in Hitler's Mars through the sum-
mer is not fortunate for the Fueh-
rer.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of initiative
and ambitious effort. The wise will
be careful in financial matters.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be highly talented Many
of these subjects of Gemini have
logical, analytical minds as well as
artistic tendencies.
