AMERICANS, STAND UP!

Juneauites too busy to attend a ceremony in which Aaska's first National Guard is inducted into the military forces of the United States They are all dated up when the Fourth of July rolls around, hence can't be expected to take part in the patriotic celebration Last night they showed they didn't know enough to stand when the American flag was brought forward the stage of a theatre
 We have often said, and still believe that the outward trappings of patriotism not it's most important responsibilities Standing up when the flag is shown, attending patriotic gatherings know ing the words of the "Star-Spanged Banner" do not of anyone. But these things help, and they are about all we have to go in gaugng the prevalence in our people of some love for their country and some respect for their flag
 Last night at the dedication of the 20th Century Theatre, after newsree showing what the Naz bombers have been doing to London, girls of the Junior American Legion Auxiliary marched out on the stage with the flag. The entire audience re- mained glued to their comfortable seats thinking perhaps that they had done all that required of them for the evening when they paid their way to get into the theatre. ,a
 Next time you see the American flag, stand up. Don't wait for somebody else to do it and then fol- low like lost sheep If you make yourself con- spcuous by standing alone, don't be ashamed of that either. If you appreciate the blessings be- slowed you in the land which that flag flies stand up. And we hope you will NOT be conspicuous

MORE ABOUT EMIL

The other day poked little gentle fun at our old friend and fellow Alaskan Emil Hurja, who announced his new "idealized cross section poll showed Wendell Willkie would be elected next Tues day with from 50O0O0O to 8,00O000 votes to spare.
 Time magazine which has been humping the drum for Wikie took time out this week to poke a little fun of it's at Emil, who backed Vice President Gamers abortve campaign for the pres- dency.
 Time says observers of the Hurja poll held two legitimate doubts.
 "D MT. Hurjas forecasting reputation based on his 1892 and 1886 forecasts when he sat at James A. Farleys right hand, with all the Demo- cratic Partys professionals in the field his porters Even then his 1886 forecast very servative far below the final results HIurja said 376 electoral votes for Roosevelt result: 523). Mir Hurja afterwards left the New Deal lost his power to check with precinct committeeman.
 "2) MT Hurja as a sideline, owns the Edward J. Wall poll which last week showed Roosevelt ahead in popular vote, 559o -to-45%."
 The payoff for all the pollsters will come, of course next Tuesday midnight when the results counted in all the States. Then we will know whether the race went as Emil Hurja with of his polls) and Roger Dunn predicted whether the l94O campaign is another Roosevelt landslide as the latest Gallup poll GAIA electoral votes for Roosevelt IF for Wikie) indicates it will be-

New Threats Upon the Pacific
Seattle PoSt-Intelligencer(

Seattle Post -Intelligencer)
 In the light of what has happened in the Orient in recent years, and especially in the light of what happening today it is difficult to understand what effect Yosuke Matsuoko Japanese Foreign Minister, hopes to produce by his cabled statement to Karl H. von Wiegand
 "No conquest, no oppression, no exploitation is Japans motto in Greater East Asia"
 Beginning with the case of Korea, Japan's pro- gram of conquest in East Asia has been persistent and systematic Manchura, North China, South China and now French Indo- China have been occu- pied after another
 For Matsuoko to cite the general policies and record of Japan, in reply to a question as to that counrys possible designs upon the Dutch East Indies, is certainly carrying either cyncism naivete to extreme limits.
 Of even more direct interest to the Pacific Coast however, is Japan's notice of abrogation of the 1911 fur seal convention.
 This convention, between Japan, the United States Great Britain and Russia, ended pelagc sealing in the North Pacific.
 It saved valuable industry, when the fur seals threatened with extinction
 The Japanese contention is that the seals feed fish which belong to Japan.
 It is doubtful if this contention will stand up in the light of what is known about the feeding grounds of the seals unless Japan claims superior rights the whole of the Pacific Ocean.
 The Pribilof Islands, frequented by the seals as breeding gounds United States territory The seal herds assemble just off the United States coast for their annual hegira to the north and es- corted on their way by United States Coast Guard vessels At the end of the breeding season they scatter to a considerable extent but there is tainly nothing in the record of present or past sealing operations to suggest that the animals con- stitute any serious menace to Japanese fisheries.
 A return to pelagic sealing would invoke again the threat of the extinction of the fur seal and the destruction of valuable natural resource.
 But the greatest menace implicit in peagic seal ing under present conditions would be the constant danger of clashes between American and Japanese sealers.
 Japan has acted wisely in withdrawing from fish ing operations, in and about Bristol Bay during the salmon season, thus removing one possible source of international incidents which might endanger the already strained relations between the two countries
 To invite of irritation hardly be considered step in the direction of peace upon the Pacific

snowman and circus owner, who applies to the political arena all the hoopla and zing necessary to his former profession.
 Bays basic belief is that the way to win votes is to entertain folks. He tours the hustings with a troupe of circus and vaudeville per- formers whom he carefully re- hearses daily. He also writes the script for the half-hour barn dance which he stages and broadcasts with cast of 65. Tickets, given away free, are at a premium.
 Bays shows go off like clock work. Several hours before per- formance, the ornately painted truck of the State Committee pulls up, crew of decorators with bunting, pictures and sound equip ment takes charge of the hall, and the actors go through a rehearsal. On the dot of schedule the show opens. Bays makes a brief political talk and the performance begins, closing with a boy soprano sing ing God Bless America" This VOWS them.
 Bays drive and talents so im- pressed Henry Wallace, when he campaigned in Indiana, that he tried to get the ex-circus man to manage his own campaign. In fact. Bays has attracted the attention of Roosevelt and other leading Democrats who are not averse to naming him as successor to Ma tional Chairman Ed Flynn if and when Ed steps out after the cleo ton.

THE 20TH CENTURY

w. D Gross is to be complimented on his beau- tiful new 20th Century Theatre and Apartment Build ing, which was officially opened last night It is by all odds the finest theatre in Alaska with no expense having been spared to equip it with the best of everything.
 Building of such a structure is an important boost for Juneau adding to the beauty and economic stability of the capital and illustrating the confidence of at least businessman in the future of this community
 Thank you MT. Gross, and good luck

GROSS OPENS
 NEW THEATRE
 ON HALL0W'EN

Juneau theatregoers an enthusi- astic crowd, last night applauded pioneer theatre builder w. D. Gross on his grand premiere of the 20th Century Theatre.
 As the crowd trickled in Organ ist Larry McCann, formerly of Paramount in Seattle, gave a con- cert. After the news reel, girls of the Junior American Legion Auxiliary dropped onto the broad stage.
 Three tiny youngsters bore the American flag with them and the Junior Auxiliary pledged their al- legiance while the audience later joined them in singing God less America"
 McCann played the 20th Century March, written by lovely Mark Caw- thon's father for the occasion, and then he and Mrs. Cawthon teamed and traded in piano-organ duets and also on the accordion.
 Fireworks and bombs shattered the night early in the evening to celebrate the occasion and the pro- gram was broadcast over KINY.
 The foyer was mass of flowers, baskets of bouquets from we'll wishers.
 The early patrons inspected every part of the large theatre and scores joined in declaring the convenience es as most up-to-date and the meg zanine most comfortable place in which to lounge.
 The lighting effects were also praised and the new projection of the picture as perfect.

Jersey City were going to give the run-around to Jimmy Crom- well in his senatorial race by pass ing the word down for Senator Barbour, Republican. If Jimmy loses, his wife, Doris Duke, tobacco millionairess, probably will go through with the rumored marital break. Bess Farley, wife of the ex-Postmaster General, is wear ing a Willkie button, but her hus- band has really been rolling up his shirt-sleeves and working for FDR. Jim has been working at his desk until 2:30 am.
 As head of the New York State Democratic organization, he can't afford to see a break in approxi- mately 20 years of Democratic rule. Mrs. Joe Davies, aunt of Bar bara Hutton, came through with $5 ,000 for Roosevelt the other day, while her husband, ex-Ambassador to Belgium, has promised to raise $50, 1000. At least some busi- ness men are warming up to FD.S. bit since the John L. Lewis broadcast, among them Marshall Field, Gerard Swope of General Electric, Walter Teagle of Stan dard Oil, and Henry Hartman, for mer president of the U s. Cham Der of Commerce. The Demo- crats sent friendly judge to southern Illinois to make sure the coal miners stayed with Roosevelt, but it looks as if the judicial ad- vice was spurned.

the hustings of Michigan. Father Charles Coughlin whose radio bom- bardment and presidential ticket in 1886 had politicos literally talk ing to themselves, now is both off the air and, politically, at flat as a pancake.
 The politicos don't give Cough lin thought and neither does the electorate of this great motor state. This was strikingly demon- strated in the Michigan primary, when two of his most intimate henchmen. squat, wordy Louis Ward, editor of Social Justice, and wispy George Herman Derry, Coughlin braintruster, were thumpingly licked for congression- al nominations.
 Four years ago, Ward came within an ace of winning the Dem ocratic senatorial nomination. When he tried again this year, Demo- cratic leaders were worried. But their fears were groundless. He ran a poor third against two lit tie known opponents.
 Derry tried for the House on the Republican ticket, but did no bet ter than Ward. He ran poor third.
 NOTE-Coughlin is in strong dis favor among the Catholic clergy in this diocese. Archbishop Mooney is credited with keeping firm restraining hand on him.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER


 This should be a fortunate day for pushing what has been well begun. It is promising to those who direct the work of others and favors leaders in business and politics. It is not lucky for any sort of risk
 Heart and Home: Women should be active under this rule of the stars in extending home advan- tages to those who need them. It is promising for anything that con- tributes to the domestic welfare. AS the stars presage many separa- tions that test fortitude it is well to make much of each days bless ings. Astrologers long have prophe- sled transformation of the world of social and economic advantages enjoyed by Americans. This should be a time of wise establishments. Economy should be the watch word.
 Business Affairs: As the week closes election suspense will be felt in many lines of trade, but the stars are read as presaging less change in Government heads than has been predicted. The con- test for President is to show great advance for the Republican party. Both parties are later destined to work together harmoniously in this period of world crisis. Banks, busi- ness and the learned professions will be more active than in pre- vious autumns.
 National Issues: This weekend will be a time of desperate politi- cal effort in which the stars frown upon bitter personal criticism. Warning is given that last coup may prove a boomerang. Women are warned that they may hamper one of the candidates by over enthusiastic championship There is promise of well-earned fame for woman who leads in national Republican activities.
 International Affairs: While the ultimate fate of Hitler has been frequently foretold as like that of other conquerors and his stars have reached their zenith for good, evil portents for Britain are many, despite splendid courage and val iant fighting. At this time there will be surprising diplomatic ges- lures and much secret planning. Three great federations are to emerge from the war, it is indi- cated-Europe, Asia and the Amer icas. Mars and Jupiter have given reason to expect change in Brit ish leadership, although Premier Churchill will remain in power.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of steady good fortune. Women will play a prominent part in the program for coming months.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be volatile and energetic. They should be intellectual, re- sourceful and independent

hostility toward Bob, because of his extreme isolationist stand, among the large Scandinavian pop ulation which has been the back bone of the Progressive movement in the state.
 Phil LaFollette was defeated in 1888 by a wave of resentment against him, personally, and against the peculiar National Progressive Party which he launched that spring with suspiciously fascist trappings and theological rhetoric. Phil denied that his movement had any fascist aims, but veteran La Toilette leaders refused to have anything to do with it just the same. William T. Evjue, two-fisted editor of The Madison Capital Times, official daily of the LaFol- lette organization, openly assailed Phil and the NPP.
 ms WldeSpredo IeeIln9 agalnSt Phil still is prevalent, and, curi- ously, is being taken out on Bob. Definitely abetting this is the known fact that Bob is swayed politically by his flashy younger brother.
 Privately Bob did not approve of the National Progressive Party plan. But when Phil insisted on going through with it Bob did not demur
 Bob may yet skin through the election on November 5, but if he does he'll know he has been through the toughest fight of his 15-year senatorial career.
