Cornell Outing Guest
It is getting to be the fashion to
belittle an Individual who has made
good. Paul Cornell Of Washington,
Conn.,, reported candidate for the
U. s. Senatorial nomination from
the Republican party in this state
said In talk last night at High
Rock park. :
The local Young Republican held
its second annual outing there last
night.
Wendell Willkie made good him.
self and was not born with sill
yer spoon In his mouth, Mr. Cor
nell said.
He charged the New Deal stands
for D. false philosophy Of defeatism
and Willkie stands for a philosophy
of what We want to get back to,
he declared.
Lincoln wasn't great because he
was born in a log cabin but be-
cause he got out of it, and such
things as a man raising himself
from obscure position to promin-
ence are part of the American
dream, the speaker added.
He said Willkie believes in
philosophy of production to gain
wealth and pointed out wealth
must first be procured before 1t is
distributed. The PHILOSOPHERS of
Willkie and President Roosevelt
are directly opposite, he said, the
New Deal philosophy being one of
scarcity and the Willkie philosophy
one Of production. Mr.. Cornell as
serted that each day 1--WE are get
ting poorer"
He aSSailed President Roosevelt
for his move to break the third
term tradition, warning that when
any nation believes the services Of
one man was indispensable, 1t Is
heading for q dictatorship. Man
must guard traditions which have
no power to defend themselves, he
said.
Judge Herbert Emanuelson Of
Orange introduced Mr.. Cornell
saying Cornell had worked his way
up despite lack OF education and
Eevlewing his rise from the post Of
ehipping clerk IN small factory to
bead Of his own business and later
headmaster Of Rumford school,

been q slackening Of tax payments
this week, Assistant Tax Collector
James Brennan reported today. The
payments Of the July property tax
were good for the first week of this
month, but less have been paying

This is a 10 mill tax and was due

/ to pay the tax and after that
date, interest charges will be added.

es usually comes in the last week
in July. This year residents are

 ELk5, 19-9
Juneau Team Takes New Dive fo Cellar in Flood
 Of Costly Errors

After a two-game rally, the Elks sunk deeper in the cellar last night when the Douglas Island tean. handed them beating of 19 to 9.
 Tired from playing three consecu tive games, the Elkmen gave a poor exhibition compared with their two previous games and took the rap from the Islanders after chalkine up nine errors.
 A grandstand of holiday fans watched the folly as the Dougla' team took l9 hits from Koski. ln return, the Elks knocked IA rom the arm of Andrews, but becaust of too eager playing and attempt ed stolen bases they failed to make the hits score.
 Douglas Lucky
 Tn every inning at bat the ls- flanders got runs and trampled the Elkmen before they got out oi their holes. Up first, Douglas got four runs and three hits. Roller, hit by pitched ball, went to tlrst, was pushed to second by Andrews sacrifice, and then romped in on Erskine's single. In spurt of LUCK and hitting, both Erskine and Jen- sen made singles into runs, ana Rustad chalked up the fourth run pf the inning when he got to first gn Greenhow's pebble.
 Wiley and Addleman gave their team the chance to halve the score when they made the tour, Wiley getting to base on balls and Ad- dleman on fielder's choice. But for the next two frames, the Elks did exactly nothing in the run sec ton. taking only one hit from An dreWs.
 Islanders Keep Going
 The Islanders, seeing no reason to stop. kept scoring in every in ming, Klovdahl in the second on a double and knocked in by Big An dy's tWo-base hit; Odell in tn c third, thanks to Addlemans poor throw to second, and Jensen and Andrews in the fourth. Big Andy got to base on Greenhow's tumble, advanced to second when Erskine clipped single, and waited TOT Jensen to take first on a fielder choice Erskine, had been put out at. second when Wiley. who hao taken Uncle Arne GreenhoW's place at short after his third error, fum- bled too. allowing Andrews q Jensen around the plates. And so It kept going.
 The Elks, however, in the next inning rallied around Empire Will ley's smashing double whlc n bounced over the fence, making the fans wonder where it had gone ana suspecting homer. When the po- tential home run was called a double and the dust had settled the score board chalked up runs for Nielsen. Koski and Knight. Bird had come in on his double and the Elkmen had made four runs.
 Fifth Big Inning
 Two errors in the fifth inning helped Douglas to mark down five more runs, Roller, Bell, Hanford, Odell and Klovdahl getting the honors. In the last frame, the Elks contributed nothing to the score and Roller, Klovdahl and Bell O, Douglas did a duplication of the sixth.
 The Elks had been slightly tram pied.
