Interest in Alaska

Mrs. Roosevelt's invitation was
based on the interest which she and
the President have so often express
ed concerning Alaska, their desire
to visit the Territory, and her OWE
interest with that of the Presidents
in the cause of the business and
professional women, which thye ha Je
SO heartily sponsored, Mrs. Roose-
welt having given it much time and
attention.
Mrs. Lillian Vogt read her report
on the Christmas morning breakfast
given in the Baranof Gold Room
on Dec. IT. The report was highly
gratifying, and showed that the
event was one of the Yuletide's out~
standing social affairs.
Also several visitors from out OF
town, members from other clubs
were introduced by the presiding
officer, Mrs. Tiedt
The clubs next large social affair
will be the International Relations
Week next month. Mrs. Frances L.
Paul. will be chairman in charge.

Mrs. Harry Sporting.

HeIlentndl, IN the course OF MS
talk which ne described as a non
partisan speech" said the only ex-
cuse for government is to protect
everyone in the enjoyment of per-
Sonal freedom He mentioned the
Government of Germany which is
80 outlandishly bad that there is
not one good thing anyone can
say for it,
World Insane
The National Committeeman de-
clared the issue between autocracy
and democracy to be world issue,
which Americans must meet.
You can't strike down autocracy
and plant democracy" he said
Democracy must come from be-
low. If we Americans keep our de-
mocracy right side up, we will set
an example the world will fol-
low"
Politics he described as the foun-
dalton of democracy. There can be
no democracy without politics, he
said, and no politics without de-
mocracy. When everybody takes
part in politics, politics will be what
America wants it to be, he asserted.
Civil Service Scored
Hellenthal attacked the growth
of civil service as a menace to
the nation, declaring civil service
holdovers sabotage the work of
succeeding administrations an d
form a great bloc of fins" who will
go to any lengths to perpetuate
their own jobs.
The practice of the Democratic
party in gathering up a fund in
a legitimate way by holding Jack
son Day dinnrs was contrasted
by Hellenthal with the method of
the Republicans who have to sell
privileges to the rich in order to
get campaign funds
Americans, he said, have got to
make capitalism work, for it is the
only system that will work with
out a dictator.
Question for Republicans
Though presumably none were
present, Republicans were asked by
Hellenthal whether they want to
go back to the Hoover administra-
ton and put the banks where they
were when Roosevelt took office
He mentioned the success of the
Democratic administration in i'm
proving the lot of the farmer
largely through devaluation of the
dollar accomplished by increasing
the price of gold.
The gold price increase he char
acterized as "a lifeline to the peo-
pile of Alaska The financial
racketeers" of New York, who
brought the country to the state
from which the New Deal rescued
it in 1888, will reduce the price Of
gold, Hellenthal said, because such
a reduction would add thirty three
and one third cents to every dollar
in their vaults" This, he said. woulo
shut down most of the mines OF
Alaska.

An interesting story is taken
form a HagerstOwn paper under the
date of 1901, regarding Mrs. Ker-
cheval, who died at the age of 81
and who had worked for John
Brown, the insurrectionist. The
story follows:
The late Mrs. Kercheval who
died at Harpers Ferry and was bur
led at Keep Tryst. this county, was
a remarkable woman. She was very
active when she fell while going up
stairs, receiving injuries which re-
suited in her death. She was in her
S8th year She read the daily
papers and the Bible, which was
her constant companion. Her maid
Ell name was Mary Callahan. She
was born near CharlestOWn in 1913
and spent most of her time there
and at Harpers Ferry until June
1892 when she married John Ker-
cheval. When quite a child, Mrs. |
Kercheval, with her aunt, went to |
keep tavern for a man whose wife |
was sick, near the spot where Spen- |
GERS store now stands. While there |
one night Indians came and asked |
for rum" Upon being refused they |
became angry and frightened the |
children. They held a war dance |
just below the tavern. She crossed |
the Potomac at Harpers Ferry |
when there was only a foot bridge |
to cross on. She also rode in Har- |
per's ferry boat, after which man |
Harper's Ferry was named. She |
also remembered when Halls Rifle |
Works were at the Ferry and when |
the canal was built, at which time |
she saw men kneeling from the
door of the Catholic church down |
the stone steps to the Shenandoah |
river on a Sunday morning when !
mass was held in the church. |
During John Browns stay in Har-
