The Foe Within

In orr battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for mess Of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their perEicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe withinl

DON'T LOOK NOW-but we see
a colored Representative sitting in the

waking up and will cast their vote for

up your own mind just whom you are
going to follow, particularly in this
Representative fight it is our
opinion that all colored Roxbury
should cast their vote for a colored
candidate as you have no real repre-
sentation in ward nine or twelve
you have nothing to lose but everything
to gain, and if we put a colored man in
the State House and he can't do the
things that we want, at least we will
have learned that we can elect a man
to office white or black if we so desire

we want and when we reach that goal

ONE SUNDAY RIDE FIVE BABY CHICKS;
 ONE FOR RIPLEY

Here, MT. Ripley, is story that even you will have a difficult tune swallowing down your accustomed throat
 Sunday, carpenter Fred Croll and his wife drove out to the Glacier Dairy in their pickup truck.
 AS they drove into the yard Of MT. and Mrs. Frank Maier, proud hen and her five half grown chicks strutted out of the path of the wheels.
 The Crolls left a short time later and returned to town. On climbing out of the truck in Juneau, Croll was amazed to see the strutting hens five chicks roasting unruf- fled on the trucks rear axle.
 And I drove into town as fast as the law allows!' Croll declared. the ten-mile drive!" Croll declared.
 Who has the chicks?
 MT. and Mrs. Maier, informed Of the runaway chicks, drove to town and took them back to Mama lien who must have been something close to a nervous wreck if she saw her brood astride the bouncing axle of a speeding truck.
 How do you like it MT. Ripley? You can believe it or not.

LEGION VISITOR
 SAYS WE FAILED
 TO FINISH WAR
Should Have Gone on 10 Berlin in 1918, Is
 Campbell Belief

November II, 1918, was "the most unfortunate date in history" in the opinion of Milton D. Campbell Assistant Director of Child Welfare of the American Legion, who is visiting here on tour of Alaska Legion Posts.
 ''This isn't a second world war; this is the second act of the first world war;" Campbell said. We shouldn't have stopped with the Armistice. We should have gone on to Berlin and beyond"
 Campbell was guest of honor last night at a Legion and Auxiliary dinner at Percy's Cafe. Today he spoke at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce luncheon and tonight at 7::3O o'clock he will speak over radio station KINY on Why the Legion Is Interested in Child Well fare"
 Youth Problem
 One reason the Legion is inter ested, Campbell said today, is that it believes it owes debt to those Americans who didn't come home from France in 1918.
 You can have naval ships for the Pacific and Atlantic, and for the Boring Sea and Gulf of Mexi- co; you can have guns everywhere; you can build up defenses as much as you want to; but unless you have future American citizens to de- fend the country, you're licked, " Campbell declared.
 The Legion official from Indiana polls pointed out that 23,000 youths are in reform schools in this coun- try today, that 40 percent of the boys in these institutions will graduate" into the penitentiaries and that the cost of juvenile de- linquency to the nation is some $60,000,00O every Is months.
 Investment
 Campbell urged that sums spent for child welfare be considered in the light of an investment rather than an expenditure.
 John Newman was toastmaster at last nights dinner. Other guests were Deborah Pentz of the Depart ment of Public Welfare and Dr. w. s. Ramsey and Miss Magn- hild Oygard of the Department Ct Health.
