SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN

SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN
 These are not the words of Jesus. They are not my words. They are literally the words of the money mad capitalists who argue about
 feeding the hungry. They are the words of greedy and selfish politi- clans who picker and fret while frantically they split hairs in order to start another war. They are the words of American politicians and hate-filled parents who saturate the hearts of children with lies and hatred for their fellows. All these people are saying to those of the future generation Suffer" What a tremendous curse this is which twists the words of Him who said Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me" Millions of children starved, naked, depraved and dying constitute the new world "hope" for war-torn China and Europe. Many thousands of them are now hardened and experienced criminals. Ask any veteran of European Bat tie experience to describe them. Among the ranks of these children many of whom were educated in the Nazi system of hate and human bUtchery there are some of the worlds most accomplished thieves, perverts, and murderers. Toughen- ed by the cruel hardships of war the simple-childlike beauty which could have been theirs has been re- placed with the slyness, stealth and craftiness which comes from the necessity for begging or stealing crumbs upon which to live. It comes also from a motherhood and father hood which has taught them not how to LOVE; but how to HATE. Born in time of war and unaccus- toned to the ways of peace it is as though the world had slammed its door in their faces and said to them Damn you! you little brats."
 Well! While Americans ought, of course, to feel sorry for these youngsters in other parts of the world who have been deprived of civiliza ton; they ought at the same time, however, to remember the thousands of children within our own borders who have already talk en their places along side of them. European and Asiatic children are the victims of wholesale war and cruelty; disease and death. Amer ica's children by the increasing thousands are victims of race and group hatred; parental neglect: inn proper schooling; and money inter- ests which exploit their labor.

advisedly threatened the striking railway men with penalizations never dreamed up even by Musso- lini and Hitler, then, as a parting gesture, on the day of closing de- feated the Wagner-Taf -Ellender Housing Bill which would have given millions of Americans, most of them veterans who had just come from the battlefelds of Democracy, homes to live in a bit better than those of Bilbo's sharecroppers.
 Blame Easy to Fix
 The blame for the insidious suc- cess in reaction of the Congress is not hard to fix. It rests on the shoulders of the representatives and senators from the South, first, because these men, representing a civilization alien to the American way of life, very naturally fought tooth-and-nail to continue their program of human enslavement It rests almost equally heavy, though, on our own Northern congressman, who committed acts of commission HI bAAS c1AAekkiSSo VI Li1aIly O1 IIlcIu with southern reactionaries, and acts of omission in their failure to fight back when fascism in Wash ington reared it's ugly head. There are few members of the Congress. even our friends among them, who can go entirely blameless of respon- sibility for the Frankenstein mon- ster that the Seventy-Ninth Con- gress became.
 It Must Never Happen Again
 A repetition of the most recent Congress must never again be re- corded in American history. To as- sure the people of this simple safe guard, it is the people themselves who must take up the cudgel of action. The time to do it is NOW, in the present prediction period. It will mean that we must lose some old friends; we won't miss them. It will mean making some new alliances. It means the con- solation of our efforts of others, sometimes with others we don't ordinarily like. It must be done if the Bilbos and the Pappy O'Daniels and, all-important, their North ern collaborators-are to be de- feated.
 Start Right Now
 Start the campaign to eradicate fascism from the Congress today, this week. Poll your representative and senator; ask him what he did on OPA, Poll-Tax, Anti-Lynching, FEPC, Housing, Government In- surance. Don't accept an evasive answer; make him tell you, if it takes ten letters and a personal visit. He's YOUR servant. Then carry it step further: make him and his opponent in the campaign TELL YOU WHAT THEY'RE CO., ING TO DO. From that point on, you're on your own.

with high merit, commencing with its founder Rev. Simeon s. Jocelyn (white) who served 15 years. Rev. J. W. Pennington who followed him was born slave although he later educated himself after overcoming many difficulties. He preached in Europe, attended Peace Congress in Paris, Brussels and London and received the degree Of D.D. from the University of Heidelburg in Germany.
 Following Rev. Pennington came Rev. Dobie and then Rev. Amos G. Beeman who served the church more than 19 years.
 In 1881 Rev. A. P. Miller was pastor and it was during his pas torate that the church moved to North Church Mission on Dixwell Avenue. Later (18S5) Rev. T. Nell son Baker, a graduate of Yale Di- vinity School was pastor for 5 years; Rev. Edward F. Coin for AZ years. During Rev. Coins pastor ship many changes took place. A pneumatic pipe organ was installed, new class rooms for the church school built among other equipment.

C0MMUNICATlCH

Juneau, Alaska, December 2U.
 To the Editor of the Daily Alaska Empire: I read your article Alaska one of nine sections over top in e. o. P. campaign funds" From time to time, before the recent Territorial election, articles such as appeared in last nights paper have heen printed in your paper based upon information given you by AL bert White.
 Up until last election the Repub- licans were very much in the min ority, but since election time not cnly did the Territory go Repub- lican but also the United States.
 In all fairness to the new asso- ciates who have joined our party because they didn't like the way the Democrats were running their par ty, they should be told that we have our party troubles. There are a great many Republicans who haven't liked the way the Repub- lican party has been run in the Territory.
 We have had no representative Territorial organization for the past IA years. Our Delegates to the National Convention have been hand picked during this time, thus disfranchising by far the majority of the Republicans during this per- iod. In the last campaign, in the absence of any party organization, the Juneau candidates met and tried to organize. I was appointed Treasurer and solicitor for cam paign funds. Some of the candi- dates put up money, but met with very little success among the Re- publicans, some saying they had al ready given their donation to AL bert White, who was appointed as Treasurer and solicitor for the First Division at the Anchorage convention some months previous. At the following meeting MT. White was present and when I asked him for the donations or at least part of the funds he had collected, he said he would send the money where it would do some good, and that he wasn't interested in the election of any Territorial candi- date, though he spent good deal of time on a radio program he conducted, knocking the sales tax and boosting Henry Benson for Commissioner of Labor. In my campaign for the Treasurer's office I did not receive five cents from any organization in the First Di- vision.
 The quotation in Whites letter from the COP. said, You are cer- tainly to be congratulated on the work you are doing fer the party in Alaska, and all of us are grate- ful to you" The only work White las done for the party in Alaska is to keep it disorganized. The heading which he gives to his in- terview, Albert White, general counsel of the Republican party" is certainly a misnomer The term

rons and many called at his place of business when returning from entertainments up town. Severa noticed lights burning in the store early Sunday morning, but thought nothing of it as Ellen often opened his store to make sales to customers at odd hours.
 As far as known, Ellen had nc close relatives in this country, but corresponded with relations ir Greece. He was a member of the American Legion, having served ir World War L Ellen was also g member of the Juneau Elks Lodge

found on the grocery store floor, also on the floor of the living quarters and on snow outside the building.
 Murder Discovered
 The murder was discovered short ly after 10 o'clock Sunday morn ing by Jerry Fitzgerald of the Mar tin Apartments, when she went to the store to make a purchase. The lights of the store were burning but the store door was locked. She went around to the rear of the building, entered the door of a small store room, then went through the door of Ellen's living quarters. Not finding him there, she went into the store and discov- cred Ellen's body on the floor in a corner behind the half opened door between the liquor and gro- cery department.
 She immediately telephoned police headquarters. The call was answer ed by Assistant Chief of Police Milo Clouse He called Patrolman Solon Dore, then Deputy U. s. Marshals Syd Thompson and Wal ter Hellan Chief of police Leon ard Williamson, Dr. c. C. Carter and U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray were also summoned,
 Arriving at the scene of the mur- der, Dr. Carter said Ellen's death might have occurred between l and o'clock Sunday morning
 Less than an hour following dis covery of the murder, one suspect was taken in custody and placed in the City Jail, and a thorough investigation was underway.
 Ellen, Greek. Was B
 Jim Ellen was 52 years of age. He came to the United States in 1909 from Greece. according to his cousin, c. G. Brown, wellknown liquor retail dealer. He passed the customary examination at Ellis Island. New York, then gradually worked his way westward, Ellen came north In 1915, it is believed, and worked for a time on the con- struction Of the Alaska railroad. He left the employ of the railroad and opened a pool hall in Anchorage, also building a log cabin for his home.
 Ellen sold his Anchorage busi- ness and went to Latouche, mining center at that time. and remained there until the mine ceased oper- ations. This was in 1929 or l930 From Latouche, Ellen came to Ju- neau and established a business on Willoughby Avenue, which he con- ducted until Sundays tragedy. Brown passed through Juneau about the time Ellen established his busi- ness and the latter asked shim to remain and become associated with him. Brown went south but return ed and was employed by Ellen from 1892 to approximately 1886.
 Ellen made friends with his pat

Alaska Daily Empire:
 I am informed that MT. Carter, Editor of The Alaska Daily paper is publishing a letter from Cash Cole, which in effect is an attack upon me personally, as an adver- tiser in your paper and a subscrib- CT it seems to me that this action is on the part of MT. Carter if true, I was informed by a Juneau business man who either MT. Cole or MT. Carter informed of this is making the Juneau Empire a part of MT. Coles fight upon Senator Taft, Governor Dewey both whom I supported and MT. Cole was against and for that reason he is opposed to me.
 If you do see fit to publish such a communication I think this terse reply of mine should be added,
 Defeated or times is the voters opinion of MT. Cole.
 Yours truly,

would imply that he has been the legal advisor for the Republicans in Alaska, and with the records show ing that the Republicans have not had a vote on the Delegates to the National Convention during his ten ure of office, the condition indi- cates clearly that we have been poorly counseled and advised, and sadly in need of new talent that would base their advice upon the American way of doing things, by majority rule.
