Health officials are able to prescribe measure of isolation and prevention. The Office of Indian Affairs carries on tuberculosis work of it's own in addition to that being done by the Territorial Department of Health.
 But the crying need which if not provided will doom all other efforts to failure, is tuberculosis hospital Cases be isolated and treated correctly only in such an institution.
 At present the part of the United States with the worst tuberculosis problem in the nation has not single bed for treatment of the disease among it's white residents. There are few, woefuly in- adequate few beds provided by the Government for Indian residents A handful of those afflicted by the disease are provided hospalizaton in the States by the Territorial Department of Welfare. Another handful are able to finance treatment for them selves
 Where the money is to from for building the large tuberculosis hospital needed urgently in Alaska is a problem. But it would not be an insurmountable problem if the people of the United States and yes the people of Alaska realized fully the danger in the present condition Like anything else we must have tuberculosis hospital be importance as long as Alaskans dyng-amost one every day of the yearfor lack of such nsti- tuition.
 Alaska must have tuberculosis hospital, and it must have it soon Meanwhile, every citizen help in @ small way to combat the disease by pur- chasing the Christmas seals provided at this each year by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association Proceeds from this sale help finance the clinics which are all we have at present to grappe with the huge problem of tuberculosis

the President and told him some thing had to be done and done quick. He said, What do you sug- gest?"
 Put Lyndon Johnson in charge and give him a free hand"
 Sold" replied Roosevelt. That was my idea, too. That boy has got what's needed. Tell Lyndon to see me tomorrow
 Johnson saw the President at breakfast the next morning. Three hours after he had an office (tucked away in downtown business build ing) and a staff rolling in high gear. And it continued rolling l5 and 18 hours a day for the re- mainder of the campaign.
 The response to Johnson's dy- mamie drive was electric. Imperiled candidates, who had given up hope of any outside help, fell on his neck with piteous cries. Overnight sos calls began to pour in from coast to coast. None went un- needed.
 In all, Johnson aided more than 150 Democratic congressional can- didates. The results speak for them selves. Instead of capturing the House, the Republicans lost six seats, and the Democrats emerged stronger than ever.

ALASKA'S GREATEST CHALLENGE

It is not pleasant to talk about our worst points. One of the worst points about Alaska is the extent to which its people afflicted by tuberculosis Ii we wanted to be boosters, of the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce type we would mention this out loud. But if want to tackle what is probably Alaskas outstanding problem must have popu lation which is aware of the tremendous inroads this preventable disease is making upon people.
 Last year 3Os deaths from tuberculosis corded in Alaska Large as this figure is, it still does not tell the whole alarming story for many who contract the disease in Alaska to the States for treatment and die outside the Territory.
 Our death rate from tuberculosis is 521 per 100000 whereas the rate in State as close to us Oregon is only 37 per 100000. More than 16 times many Alaskans as Oregonans per capita die from tuber cuoss One out of every 26 residents of the Terri tory is estimated to be carrying the disease around with him today
 Is there any good reason for this? Health of ficials credit various theories for Aaskas tremendous tuberculosis rate, rate which is higher among in the North than in any State or any other of Uncle sams Territories possessions. Indisputable is the fact that the disease is most prevalent among Native residents of Alaska Also indsputable is the fact that the white man brought the disease with him and afflicted the original inhabitants of the North The history of communicable diseases fore shadows the eventual handing back" of tuberculosis from the Natives to the whites
 Is there anything do about it? Look hack at of the last words in the first paragraph in this editorial Tuberculosis s called preventable disease. It is disease which science knows how to find how to control and how to eradicate
 Why isn't something being done about it in Alaska? Something is. Financed by Federal, Ter ritorial and voluntarily contributed funds Tuber- culosis Clincian works constantly in Alaska track ing down the disease. He is able by simple skin test and by x-rays determine who has tuberculosis

son quickly became known as a staunch New Dealer who at the same time remained on cordial per- sonal terms with the antis. He is trusted and liked by the Garner ties and is also a favorite of the President.
 Roosevelt has a fatherly affec- ton for young Johnson, frequently consults him on political affairs, and is quietly grooming him for a high party post
 The President is fond of relating a story of Johnsons political wiz ardry; how as an unknown new conner he blitzkrieged the Little Congress" and got himself elected Speaker" of this organization oi House secretaries and clerks.
 It is a Little Congress" tradi- ton that its Speaker" is chosen by seniority. It was unheard of to elect a newcomer-that is, it was ] until Johnson hit town in 1892 a! Rep. Dick Kleberg's secretary. Al the first Congress" meeting he at- tended he announced he would be a candidate in the election the following week.
 The machine" snickered, but CT the night of the election they changed their tune The biggest attendance in history showed up A mob of strange young people packed the corridor outside the Housecaucus room. At a signal from Johnson they lined up. marched UT to the tellers, showed their creden- tials and voted. The unknown new conner from Texas was elected Speaker by two to one. Say, who is that guy?" gaspec one of the deflated candidates. He comes to one meeting and take. over the place at the nextl"
 That's Lyndon Johnson" proud. ly volunteered one of his support CTS. If he tells you he can be elected President Of the United States-don't bet against him."

When members of Company A and Medical and Headquarters De- tachments met at the Armory last night for regular drill, the local soldiers sported brand new uni- forms for the first time since m duction here in September.
 Although all equipment, includ- ing guns and other necessaries for the Army have not arrived, and not all the men were decked out in the new uniforms, due mainly, to the fact that some were under going alterations and cleaning, they expect to be by the meeting De- cember 5, next week.
 Instructions in close order drill, and a talk on medical treatment by Lieutenant Vollert completed the evenings work.

When Maine Turns
(NeW York Times)

(NeW York Times)
 Not as problem in politics but in folk psychol- ogy the behavior of Maine election day must be noted Obviously the good people of that State are determined, for all to get rid of the super stiton about how Maine goes and the nation Four years ago should have been enough to kill the legend, with Maine and Vermont against their 46 sister States. Yet this September the old game in full sway. Thereupon the voters Down East on November set out to make it as clear as the thing could be done that Maine still goes her own way
 In 1886 when only two States voted against MT Roosevelt, of them was Maine. This year ten States voted against MT. Roosevelt, and Maine tried hard not to be one of them Four years ago, when MT Roosevelts plurality in the nation was nearly eleven million Maine went against him by more than 40O00 This year, when MT Roosevelt's plurality less than five million Maine goes against him by less than 10000 Maine is desperately trying to live down its barometer past. Whether it will succeed is another question.

developing in Europe, the most painless but most effective is ths approaching cotton famine in Italy
 Official American reports from Rome state that Italian supplies of raw cotton will be exhausted by December 31. It must be remem- bered that cotton is indispensable to a war machine, and that Italy normally bends on foreigr sources for 90 percent of her SUD- ply.
 Since June 10, when Italy en- tered the war, the British block ade has prevented arrivals of cot ton by sea. Thus Italy became in- dependent on overland shipments from Turkey, which have been en- tirely inadequate.
 Indicative of the desperate situa- tion is the fact that existing cot ton stocks have been requisitionec ! by the government, and that al mills, except those producing cot 1 ton goods for military use, have been closed.
 Should Germany and Italy cracl the British blockade, all this would be changed; but as long as Britain remains mistress of the seas, Italy will be reduced to shreds ans patches.
