umbia is separated from the anc
ient commonwealth only by the
calmly flowing Potomac. In s v
eral congressional districts of Vir
ginia, the New Deal was made a
direct issue. In one instance, a
condidate told the electorate
that a vote for him was a vote
for the President, arid in another
the platform, although not stated
sc bluintly, was no less clearly
defined. Both champions of the
Administration were beaten Al
though the results of the Virgin
ia primaries may be regarded as
something of a weather vane,
probably there were a good
many currents that cooperated
in moving it. The candidates,
as men, had qualities that ap
pealed to, or failed to attract,
the voters. Still more potent was
the natural desire of a locality
to manage its own affairs with
out to much external pressure or
interest. The outcome of the
Virginia primaries may be a slap
at the new deal, and it may be
only a notice to the country at
large that the Old Dominion
wishes to be left free to handle
its personal problems.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, has
announced that he will resign
from the Senate during the next
twelve-month period, at the age
of 71, and at the close of a pub
lic service begun almost 50 years
ago. The care that Senator Lew
is bestowed on his personal ap
pearance, his punctilious courtesy
and the pains which he took to
state his views in the pci shed
language of the orator, tended to
obscure, in some quarters, his1
worth and value as a member of
the upper House. The Democrats1
will lose a valuable asset at the
outgoing of Jim Ham. ven as
the Republicans suffered when
Bert Snell turned his back upon
the House of Representatives.
Both of the gentlemen men'honed
are seasoned politicians and w:;l
be content to live quietly in the
shadowy oblivion that they have
chosen of their own free will and
accord. They will make no pro
test if none but their former col
leagues in Washington give them
more than occasional thought.
The politician, pehaps better than
anyone else. realizes that “the
world will little note nor long
remember.”
The President contiaues his
jaunt, and the accounts of it con
tain numerous references to
“fishing”, to which no one can
object, coupled with disturbing
phrases as “a well-filled mail
sack" and “official business.” It
seems as though the old time
hymn writer had both Presidents
and ditch diggers in mind when
he alluded to the home in glory
as the only place where there
was a land of rest. Mr. Roose
v: It’s trip has put a good many
places on the map. We know now
that Elizabeth Bay and Cocos
Island exist, and that although
they are a long way off, they are
near enough so that tarrying in
Alt Heidelberg
them does not keep a President
from still being President.
Affairs in the Orient look dark
even to the most cheerfully mind
ed. With three hour battles go
ing on between the Japanese and
the Soviet forces, and with cas
ualties of 400 reported on one
side, it seems as though some
thing closely resembling wrar al
ready were under way. At least,

For the first time in its history,
Alaska will have a holiday on
September 17, officially designat
ed as Constitution Day, which is

aside the date, Gov. John W.

1 hereby designate September

hundred fifty-first anniversary of

suggest that that day be comment

the schools and communities, whi
ch should include public reading

a flag of the United States should
be flown on all public buildings
and on school buildings where
practicable.
By observing Constitution Day
as a holiday, we shall recognize
that the Constitution is an endur
ing instrument fn for the govern
mg of a far-flung population of
more than one hundred and thir
ty million engaged in diverse and
varied pursuits.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the Territory
of Alaska to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Juneau
