Chicago gets the national Demo-
cratic convention this summer and
it becomes more apparent that Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Farley will be in
control neither being a candidate,
but with enough votes to name the
next Democratic nominees for Pres
ident and Vice President.
Best indication that the President
will not be a candidate to succeed
himself comes from the meeting Of
the national committee the first or
the week when Mr. Farley as ma
tional chairman refused to permit
the introduction of a resolution en-
dorsing the President for a third
term. Mr.. Farley's contention was
that it had no place in the deliber-
atoms of the committee. but GER
tainly there would have been no
better place to launch a campaign
if there was any foundation to the
belief in some sources that the
President would seek reelection al
third time
i = 4
In the third term sentiment
which is admittedly strong, main
contention expressed is that Mr..
Roosevelt will be drafted because Of
the international situation and his
broad knowledge of it. At the same
time it can't be overlooked that
Cordell Hull as Secretary of State
has been one of the nations longest
heads in handling foreign affairs
and Mr.. Hull could get the nomin-I
alton in Chicago with the support Of
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Farley. If
the national campaign is to be de-
cided on the qualifications of the
candidates to safeguard the coun-l
try's international affairs, Secretary
Hull is right now the top faYorite.

As anticipated, a sizeable portion
of the population of Alaska has de-
cided to run for election to the Ter
ritorial Legislature. It's probably a
good thing they can't all be elected
or there wouldn't be any one home
to do the work next January when
the lawmakers go into session for
so days.
In the First Division there are Isl
out on the Democratic ticket for
seat in the House and u on the
Republican slate. Four from each
party will be nominated at theI
April 80 primary. The same holds
true for the most part in the other

that if they favor plank No. 2 I'M
the Democratic platform, 1--WE urge
the decentralization of government"
there will be lot OF ballots cast for
candidates from other points in the
Division.
The Republican voters will find
themselves in the same fix, only
worse. OF the IL COP candidates for
the House, 10 are from Juneau, Civ
ing the COP ballot caster only two
ernatives-either nominating two
Republicans from Juneau, or enter
ing the Democratic primary where
there is an opportunity to get wider
representation from the respective
districts of the Division. Undoubt-
eddy many sound Alaskans will
choose the latter alternative in an
effort to get representation from
the entire Division in the next Leg
islature.

maritime commission moderately low
but gave it an authorization to con
tract for s230.0O0,00O in mercantile
ships That meant the ship building
would go on, but the cost wouldn't
show up IN the appropriation bills
for a time This year it began to
show np-at a mighty bad time. Ad-
miral Emory S. Land, chairman of
the commission, asked Congress to
put up $20O,000,000 to pay some
thing on these shipbuilding con-
tracts he had been authorized to
make. Last year it was a swell idea
to build ships This year it isn't so
popular. The Neutrality act has bot
tied up the ones we have, so why
build more2
Congress couldn't repudiate con
tracts it had authorized, but it did
trim the admirars requests to $125.-
10000 That looked like net saw
ing of S75.O00OO0. It wasn't any
thing of the kind. It was just a post
ponement. Congress will have to pay
it later-but not much later. The
admiral came rushing up to Con-
gress to protest that $39,O00.OO0 of
the 100000 was needed already
to pay on contracts let, and. by jim
minies, he wasn't going to be left
holding the bag.

That $75,O00,O00 is the biggest
Saving" yet marked up.
The House appropriations com
mittee tried to smooth over the cut
by authorizing the admiral to con
tract for $150.OO0.0O0 more cargo
vessels, but the House would have
nothing of it Any fancy authorize
tons like that will have to come
through as a separate bill
$3.50
Here is another sample. The army,
navy and coast guard came up for an
emergency supplemental appropria-
ton to speed up the defense program
and finance the neutrality patrol.
They asked $271,999,523 In a fury
of economy the House trimmed S4,-
301,615 off that bill. But is wasn't
a net saving by any means. They au-
thorized the navy to go ahead with
$2,450,OO0 of building. The money
for it will be appropriated perhaps
next year, after election.
In an even greater wave of econ
omy, the Senate cut $12,788,664 off
this emergency bill. Part of it was
good, clean savings but part of it
about half-was just good, clean
fun. The Senate simply told the
navy to wait about six months be-
fore it bought 81 scout bombers at a
cost of $6,875,000.

The House staged a good economy
act by reaching right into the
White House to knock off three
presidential pets, the Office of Pub
lie Reports ($1,055,OOO), the Ma
tional Resources Planning Board
($1,06O,000) and the Council of Per-
sonnet Administration ($25,04O).
But the House members were only
fooling. These agencies had been set
up out of relief funds and there was
no law under which direct appro
priatfon could be made. It was a
good act while it lasted, but the a.
gencies probably will get their mon
ey-later.

Fifty-Three Dam Workers
Discover Gold Out West

Fifty-three men working on the
Ruck-a-C hucky dam are prospective
millionaires. The structure is on the
American river. about eight miles
north Of Auburn, Calf, and Robert
Shiroda Of Reno, who was on the
ground, tells how Dame Fortune
f1irted with the workers.
Several weeks ago one Of the
contractors was building q road
across a hill in the vicinity with q
tractor and shovel when he cut
through a ledge without being con-
scious Of 1t. A passerby soon after
picked up a piece Of quartz that
contained about half its weight in
gold. The act was Witnessed by 9TH
ers and soon there was scramble.
To avoid complications, 1t was
agreed to form an association In
GLIDING all the men working on the
project.
I'm a few hours gold to the value
Of about $1,000 was saved and in
four days the men estimated that
they were about $40. 900 to the good.
A miner named Prescott, who had
formerly been in Goldfeld, Gold Cir
Gle and other Nevada camps, was
selected as superintendent and as
they were being bothered by out
siders taking rich specimens Of ore.
Prescott ordered that the shovel be
used to cover the apex and a tunnel
was started on the vein further down
the hill.
Prescott went to tina mint In San
Francisco to sell some Of the Won
derful ore and, according to report,
he was Immediately arrested as
highgrader and was not released I'M
til he had been fully identified. Fur

covery was on the dam reserva-
ton and the matter must be taken
up with the interior department.

English Princess Breaks
Precedent With Marriage

1t Is difficult today to realize what
an unorthodox thing Princess Louise
did when she was married to the
marques of Lorne in 1870. Princess
Louise, who died late in 1899, was a
daughter Of Queen Victoria. No
princess Of an English reigning
house had married out of the royal
caste since 1915, when Henry WIS
daughter became the wife of the
duke Of Suffolk. 1t is curious to
read that the marriage to Lord
Lorne, son and heir of the duke of
Argyll, was strongly opposed by her
brother, the prince of Wales, late
King Edward VII, while Queen Vic
toria herself favored the match. One
might have expected quite the OPP
posite reactions. But perhaps Dis
raelfs courtly reinsurance, "You
will miss her, madam, like the
stars: that return in their constant
season, and with all their bright
ness" had it's effect.
Two familiar legends are associ-
ated with the royal match, writes
Observator in the London Sunday
Observer. One is the tale of the
Inveraray clansman (who counted
no one higher than the duke OF
Argyll. 'The queen will be proud
woman the day." he said. The other
was the encouraging effect which
the marriage is said to have had on
the sale of the novel Lorna Doone, /"
published in the previous year.

Discovered River

Newfoundland, discovered by the
Cabots in 1893, was already well
known and frequented by French
fishermen when Jacques Cartier
headed there, early in the Sixteenth
century. He arrived early in the
spring after trouble with icebergs.
Sailing on, he mistook Magdalen
and Prince Edward islands for the
main coast and so travelled north,
exploring every harbor and bay.
A mirage led Cartier to believe
that one large river mouth to which
he came was a bay and he wasted
much time trying to map this sup
posed harbor.
Cartier made friends with some
Huron-Iroquois Indians and kid
naped two to take back to France.
These Indians told him he was in
the kingdom of Canada" though
Canada" was their word for will
lage."
The next year Cartier did his bit
for history by discovering and nam
ing the st. Lawrence bay and St.
Lawrence river. He went up the
river as far as the present city Of
Montreal.
