 The industry opposed creation of the office delegate Con with the result that Congressional action delayed until 1906 It opposed enactment of the Organic under which operates Alaska After of struggle Aakans succeeded obtaining passage the of even then the legislation emascuaed by of compo misses which the result of the fisheries lobby in Washington

But now he sees, with perspicuous glance,
a greater menace to our heritage yet.
Great God, the fount Of wisdom and of grace.
10 Thee we lift our prayers with contrite hearts,
Help us to heed the message Thou has sent,
Our course to change, our acts and lives amend.
We know we rate no blessings at Thy hand,
Nor can we ask Thee to increase our. store;
The gifts Thou spread'st so lavish in our path
We've trampled in the dust like british swine.
Yet, by Thy gracious mercy, we implore,
Ope wide our eyes and quicken our sence;
Give us a double portion of Thy grace,
That we may 60 our way and sin no more.
And now, upon our Native Son, Dear Lord,
His loving consort and his smiling son,
Pour out a trimming measure of Thy care,
And guide them safely home across the main.

TOA NATIVE SON
LoOingly Dedicated to Prof Frederic c. Mac Farlnne, Ph. D
By Chas. HI Emanuel
Our souls were waiting for the magic word
To fertihze anew their fading poWr's
Which years of fruitless tillage did beget
And cankerous vernin waste with peccant art.
The dreary spectre of our sable breed,
Self-fettered by it's Grant thoughts and fueds,
Loomed large before our dull and dreamful eyes,
And marked US for oblivion and decay.
IT'S then we raised our Macedonian cry
Beyond the borders of our beateous isle
To find d list'nng ear, safe abode
Within a 1ustrious natriots heaving breast.
Above the sharp horizon blue he came,
This manly form from Afric's scattered race;
A prince among the learned a beacon rare;
A jewel in his country's diadem.
Behold the man! Go, gather at his feet
And open wide the portals Of thy heart;
Let wisdom from his gifted lips instruct,
His counsels wise inspire thee and guide
With words illumined as by Calliope's fire,
With high elation in his every phrase,
He cried, THIS IS U BUDDHO, WHENCE ANOTHER?
How deep the meaning in these deathless terms!
Exult we, too, in accents just as clear,
If cen with lesser eloquence than he,
THIS, OUR BELOVED FRED, WHENCE COMES
ANOTHER?
The distant future holds the answer true.
Blest Garden of the Isles, lift up thy head!
A prophet stands without! Behold, he speaks!
The complex Cain" removed Let envy die!
Lend hand and heart to build thy fortress strong.
List, as he warns us of the fearsome plight
That guilty strifes and dark divisions breed,
Like children in a festive circle round,
Each with a sharpened blade aimed at its mate.
Behold! he says,our fathers bent the knew
Before a keener tribe in this fair land;

Dewey Likely to Beat Truman
In Brinqinq Out Potential Voters

State into the tie zone. 1t is un-
likely, but nevertheless most i'm
possible that loss of New York could
keep Mr.. Dewey's total under 266,
and send the decision to the House
of Representatives.
Further polls will make possible
close observation of this allimpor-
tant factor of turnout. In the mean
time, it is of interest to discover
the proportions of likely stay-at-
homes by types of people, as of Sep
tember /.
The turnout percentage among
women appears likely to be less than
that for men The younger people
are less apt to vote this year than
the older ones The farm turnout is
likely to be a little higher than the
city turnout.
Union members will probably 60
to the polls in only slightly higher
percentages than the overall aver
ages for everyone. Persons in the
top income level are more likely
to cast ballots than those in the
lower income levels.
Roosevelt supporters in 1914 are
less apt to vote in 1948 than Mr..
Dewey's previous followers. .-'

likely turnout percentages by seq
ments of the population based upon

Constitution Day Talk
By Vinson Praises
Curb on Interests
BY the Assoeioted Press

LEXINGTON, Va, Sept. IT.
Chief Justice Vinson said today the
constitutional convention of 1887
created a political instrument under
which no one interest may dominate
the Federal Government.
In a Constitution Day address be-
fore the opening bicentennial con-
vocation of Washington and Lee
University, Mr. Vinson declared that
James Madison made the major
contribution toward protecting the
Government from conflicting inter-
eSts.
Feared Overthrow.
Madison, the Chief Justice said,
was fearful that groups having real
or supposed differences in interests
such creditors and debtors,
farmers, merchants, and manufac-
turers" s"-would seriously disturb and
possibly overthrow the Govern
ment.
At that early time, Mr.. Vinson
observed, labor had not as yet
found an articulate voice"
Mr.. Vinson said Madlson's fear
led him to make superb contrlbu-
ton to political theory-a contribu-
ton for which he has never had
real credit"
The task of the convention" the
Chief Justice explained, was pre-
ventive, not remedial.
Was Not to Wait for Clash.
THE government it set up was
rot to wait until a clash had oc-
Cured and then attempt to undo
the mischief.
Instead, the very structure OF the
government must be SO arranged,
and its powers must be SO dlstrib-
uted and conditioned, that such
clashes should not become overt.
ITO that end an opportunity was
to be accorded, not only to all cur
rent interests but to any new in
terest which in the future might
become articulate. But no interest
was to be vested, and within the
commonwealth there was to be such
a baalnce that no interest could
dominate the government"

President Truman, as of Septem-
her /, was the more apt to suffer
from stay-at-homes, and Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey the more likely
to induce his supporters to vote.
Out of each 100 adult citizens pre-
ferring Mr.. Dewey, the first poll in
dicated that some 81 would be likely
to vote. But out of each 100 picking
MIR. Truman, only about Sc would
be apt. to vote.
If today the mounting tide of Re-
publican confidence should shift the
current trend and keep Dewey sup
porters at home, feeling their votes
unnecessary, the Dewey lead on
Election Day could shrink appreci-
ably.
How important these stay-at-
homes may be in key States has
been clearly shown in past elections.
In Michigan, for example, MI,
Dewey would have won the State in
1914 if a little over $4,000 more of
his supporters had turned out.
There were considerably more than
a million persons of voting age in
that State who did not vote at all.
He could have had the IS electoral
votes of Pennsylvania if approx
mately 10000 more supporters had
voted. Total adult citizens (of all
parties) staying home numbered
nearly two millions
Under all normal circumstances,
Mr.. Dewey's election is now reason
ably certain. But in Ameyica, elec-
tions may be decided by the people
who stay at home. this year expected
to number $4,000 900 against 56,000,-
900 likely to vote.
In New York, for example. whose
At votes are now reasonably sure
for Mr. Dewey, failure to vote by one
out of six of his supporters now
