 "Hove Patience"


 president and general manager of the Alaska Telephone Cor poration asked the city council and people of Seward to have patience" with the company III the installation Of better service in the city. MT. Starr met with the council Monday night at which time some spirited dis cussion ensued concerning the raise in rates and the adVisa- bility of terminating the fran chise given the company by pub lie election December 16, l33o.
 According to section ) of the ordinance (which was published in full in the Seaport Record, Dec. l, 1850 the company was required to file 6 letter of ac- ceptanca within 30 days to make the contract binding. Council man Kirkpatrick charged that the company had not compiled with the technicality and that therefore. the franchise was void, MT. Starr requested the council to accept a belated letter of acceptance, on the grounds that full rights and ownership of the facility were not trans ferred to the present owners by Mrs. Knight, former owner, un- till , weeks ago.
 Upon advice of Edward Ar nell, city ttorney. on the grounds that the city would have bstter control of the rate structure under a franchise a preement, the council accepted Mir. Starrs letter and the con tract became binding The two councilmen voting mo" were Kirkpatrick and Myers.
 We are installing new lines as rapidly as possible Starr stat ed. Rates have been raised only on those lines which have been completd." Mrs. Kirkpatrick charged that the service has not shown any noticeable improve ment over the old set-up, and Starr insisted that the training of new operators, and the nec- essary chance in telephone num- bers with the change of lines is causing some confusion, but that, if the people will only have patience a little longer, the situation will be cleared up within possibly two weeks, or shortly after
 A Seward listing will be pre- pared, according to the manager, as soon as the change-over is definitely established. No perm anent individual Seward direc- tory contemplated by the com pany, however. Instead. a single directory comprising the whole of Alaska, including systems not now owned an operated by this company is being contemplated. Most communities have agreed to the project, MT. Starr said, except Anchorage.

 Starr stated that an engineer will be in town sometime this month to plan the entire system for the automatic fire alarm system if the city desires one.

 McGrath called upon local law enforcement officials to probe all accidents that slow down the nations defense effort to see if subversive activities are involved.

KINGSTON, Jamaica-(ANP)
A suggestion that Jamaica be
coded to the United States was
made here a few days ago by a
member of the executive of the
PEOPLES National party led by
Norman Washington Manley.
Wills o. Isaacs, second vice
president of the PNP, told the

"My suggestion is not influence

to link with Uncle Sam"
The PNP man added that his
socialist party should work for
those ties" Immediately after we

COLUMBUS, o. -. CAMP -
The F. and R. Lazarus company,
one of the nations leading de-
partment stores, hired its first
Negro in a clerical capacity in its
Tooth year history. The new clerk
is Ted Lewis, who has worked
for the store for q years in the
housekeeping staff and later as
stock clerk.
Lewis becomes salesman IN
the mems furnishing department
His employment as salesman is
looked upon as opening the way
for Negro sales personnel in 9TH
er large department stores in the
city. none of which have hired a
Negro in this capacity.
According to E. J. Coughlin
personnel director of Lazarus, nc
outside influence had led to the
appointment. He said that Lewis
upgrading was part OF a new
program at the store wherein the
firm upgrades individuals In lts
employ to higher positions when
they become available.

Washington Not Confidential.

Anything which blackens the Capital

Washington is mirror which reflects

dangerous malady injecting the whole
country whose symptoms may be

widespread resentment
Anarchists against the anarchist
Exploined movement, and The Star
of September 10, 1901,
went to some pains to explain that:
People who regard anarchists as form

plans for bringing about a condition OF
society that is without law, have no
accurate conception of the true nature
of the fanaticism. Anarchists are
unit upon only one idea-that is that all
governments are instruments OF OPP
preston. They want the individual to
possess the freedom of the savage. Living
in the manner they advocate, there
would be no private property and no law.

lowers of Marx, do not hesitate to COM

Platform for 81

For the past 20 years-and I make
this statement as Democrat-we have
had nothing but unsound financial
structure. corruption and waste on the
part of our high officials and a weak
ness in moral standards which is un-
becoming in any government. One could
not expect anything but conditions as we
find them today under such leadership
AS an American. ! am concerned only
for the best interests of the Nation and
not in some political party or politicians
with only selfish aims and ambitions.
with no interest in the best for the
Nation.
If the people of the United States are
really concerned for a sound America,
they had better think hard and fast at
the next coming elections and elect men
who can and will run the Government
soundly and safely and not be everlast-
ingly asking and taking higher and
higher taxes-with little to show for
the money spent. 1t is up to the voters
themselves to save their liberty if it is
to be saved, and not our present political

That suggests the utterly fallacious
ard unfair picture which has nothing to
say Of what millions of normal, decent
people see and find in the enhancing
city which belongs to all America. For
it contains moral and spiritual beauty
which matches its cherry blossoms and
its monuments and its broad, tree-lined
avenues. The unfortunate impression
has been given that parents allowing
their daughters to venture to the Capital
in Government employ, in search of
learning or culture, or even to witness its
architectural glories, are sending them
into modern Sodom, stepped in moral
turpitude, where sordidneSS is the norm.
Anxious parents are given to believe
that concealed by the monumental

Shiny, evil-eyed octopus whose tentacles
sweep the city to drag all purity down to
the depths. OF course, the fact is that
there is an underworld of debauchery;
but there are also spires of the spirit.
These smut-scenting reporters passed
by hundreds of spires and church portals
in their quest for obscenity. There is
nothing confidential in the fact that
there are listed in the telephone books of
the Capital, in addition to its schools
and colleges, almost thousand churches
of all faiths. Through these portals an
army sof young men and women, who

Those who come from decent back
grounds and with passion to be true to

America we would say: Do not hesitate
to send your youth to Washington, your

send them to the churches that wait to

so often on the lips of great leader who
loved Washington and thought of it as
the fairest of fair cities, and who, gazing
at the effulgent beauty of the illumined
Capitol dome against the night sky, often
was heard to exclaim: God, make us
worthy of America at it's best!" In the
