SEAL SALES NET
 $3,S5O TO DATE
$6,OOO for Anti=Tuber= culOsis Expected in Doc
 nations By Christmas

Christmas seal sales sponsored by the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League have reached $3,850, it was reported today by Miss Anna G.. Murphy, league nurse.
 The effort of the league is to reach and, if possible, surpass their quota of $6,000 by Christmas. Miss Murphy pointed out the amount set for the local league has to be re- plenished by new contributors as every year many old ones drop out due to financial reasons, moving, and other circumstances. This gap must be replaced with new sub scribers so the annual loss of regu- lar donors will keep receipts at a level of other years.

PeterSburg's clean cut looking ag- gregation of Scandinavians, ran up a total of 73 points against Skag- way. highest total score run up in single game on the Juneau courts this tournament.
 Looking over the score books after wards, and remembering that Pet ersburg lost heart breaker to the Juneau High School, it is easy to see how this team could give even the winner of this tournament a mighty fine chase for their money.
 The 73-point tally doesn't include any phenomena scoring by an indi- vidual Concannon, Irish lad, only foreigner" on the Little Norway team, was high man with IT points, followed by Hagerman with, 16 points, points, Lee Is, Peterson 12. That type of scoring is what wins ball games. With a stronger defense, Petersburg would be hard to beat anywhere.
 Scores are as follows:

 Altogether. the High School had 22 foul shots, bagging ten points there, while the Haida scored but seven out of 25 attempts.

 Scores on Long Run

willing to let the workers starve If
they could not get . job.
Back in 1882, they were not willing
to guarantee collective bargaining.
Back in 1882, they met the de-
mands of unemployed veterans with
fire and troops.
Back in 1892. they raised their

gave one thought to such things as
pensions for old age or insurance

Republicans Believe in
Progressive Measures Now.
In 1910, eight years later. what a
different tune is played by them! 1t
is a tune played against sounding
board Of election day. It Is q tune
with overtones which whisper:
"Votes, votes, votes"
These same Republican leaders
are for all the new progressive
measures, they believe In them.
They believe In them 50 much that
they will never be happy until they
can clasp them to their own chests
and put their own brand upon
them. If they could only get con-
troll of them, they plead, they would
take so much better care OF them,
honest-to-goodness they would.
This tune is, Of course, only re-
hash Of the tune Of 1896. In that
election year the affection Of these
Republican leaders for the labor
ing man also rose to a high pitch.
But after election day, they and
their friends did all that they could
in the Congress, before administra-
tive bodies, and in the courts. and
in the press, 70 beat these measures
down into the ground.
What are the plain facts about
employment today?
There are 5000, 900 more men and
women employed in private indus

March Of 1888.
In the month Of August Of this
year over 100000 were added to
private pay rolls. In September
another 500 900 workers went to work
In our industries.
The millions that have gone to
work and the other hundreds of
thousands now going to work each
month in private industry are the
unequivocal answer to the brazen

hearts Of the American people with
fear. They are used to create fear
by instilling in the minds of the
people doubt Of each other, doubt
Of their Government, and doubt of
the purposes of their democracy.
This type of campaign has a
familiar ring. 1t reminds us of the
scarecrow of 1896, that the social
security funds were going to be di-
verted from the pockets Of the
American working man
1t reminds us of the scarecrow of
1882 that grass will grow in the
streets of hundred cities: a thou
sand towns; the weeds will overrun
the fields of millions of farms"
Aware Now That Fear
Is Only Thing to Fear.
The American people will not be
stampeded into panic. The effort
failed before. It will fail again.
They will not be scared by this
blitzkrieg of verbal incendiary
bombs. They are now calmly aware
that once more, "the only thing
we have to fear Is fear itself"
consider 1t a public duty to
answer falsiflcations with facts.
I will not pretend that I find this
an unpleasant duty. I am an old
campaigner. and love good fight.
The presidency is not a prize to
be won by mere glittering promises.
1t is not a commodity to be sold by
high-pressure salesmanship and ma
tional advertising. The presidency
is most sacred trust. 1t ought not
to be dealt with on any level other
than an appeal to reason and to
humanity.
The worst bombshell of fear which
Republican leaders have let loose on
this people is the accusation that
this Government, without knowledge
of the Congress or of the people,
has secretly entered into agree
ments with foreign nations. They
even intimate that such commit
ments have endangered the security
of the United States, or have pledged
the participation of the United
States in some foreign war.
It seems almost unnecessary to
deny such charge. But so long as
the fantastic misstatement has been
made, I must brand it for what 1t is.
Il give you this most solemn as
surance; there is no secret treaty,
no secret obligation, no secret COM
mitment, no secret understanding in
