GENERAL ELECTION SEPT. 8, 1812.
The people of Alaska have a Legislature. It
meets for 60 clays every 2 years. It decides how
much shall be spent for our roads. It is respon
sible for our Public Schools. It provides for the
care of our needy children and our needy elder
ly men and women.
Because of the War the Territory and its
citizens must make many adjustments. It is more
important now than in times of Peace that we
choose carefully the men to he our members in
the Legislature. The limited powers we have in
our Government must he watched and preserved.
The next Legislature must have men in it
that will know what our part of Alaska needs;
men that w ill protect the rights of Alaskans. The
, Republican candidates are those kind of men.
You will vote wisely on September 8, at the
General Election by voting for—

Robert Service at Sourdough Re-Lnion
SEATTLE, Aug. —The annual Sourdough Reunuion
which was held in Seattle this year, was marked by
the presence of Robert W. Service, poet, long famed
for “The Spell of The Yukon.”
The famous poet, visualized by most as a big parka
clad man with a pistol on his hip, is a gray-haired,
slight, self-effacing man of seventy, who lived longer
in Brittany and on the French Riviera and found more
adventure there than ever he did in Alaska.
He has not been in the Arctic since before the World
War, when he went overseas as an ambulance driver
and spent four years on the front of France.
In Baris 15 Years
He lived in Paris for 15 years afterward and in a
house in Brittany for ten after that. He escaped, with ,
his wife and daughter only by chance, on a small coal
steamer which crossed the channel long after the ev
acuation of Dunkerque was complete. The ship bore
600 wounded British soldiers who stood with rifles at
their shoulders ready to fire volleys when planes flew
overhead. Most of Service’s friends in France are dead
and he believes himself supremely lucky.
Living In British Columbia
He lives, now, in Vancouver, B. C., on the steady,
year-after-year royalties of his first book of verse “The
Spell of the Yukon” scribbled at night in Dawson in
1903 because “I was a bit bored and fed up.”
The poet, brought up in Scotland, came to the Unit
ed States as a youth, hoboed up and down the Pacific
Coast “on his uppers” and finally went to work for a
Victoria, B. C., bank which sent him to its branch in
Whitehorse. His first poem, written there, is his most
famous—“The Shooting of Dan McGrew.”
Wrote To Amuse Himself
“I wrote the poems only to amuse myself and didn't
show them to people,” he said. “But a friend of mine
found them in a drawer. He urged me to publish them.
I finally set them to a Methodist publishing house in
Toronto. They din’t like my profanity, but since I was
paying them to print the book they consented.”
“The book, however, began earning royalties before
it was published, since the publisher's salesmen liked
it and sold it ahead of time from galley proofs. Its sale
steadily mounted until 1917, when thousands of people
presented soldiers with copies of it.”
Steady, Yearly Sale
it tapered off, after that, but it and his other five
books of verse now have a steady, year after year sale.
Although Service has not seen the North for years,
he knew it better than most men at the time he wrote
of it. He brought gold from creeks scattered over a
thousand miles of territory and met the men who
mined it. He trekked over the Edmonton Trail himself,
alone, in a canoe, emerging on the Yukon bearded and
ragged.
With $200,000,000,000 earmarked for war what be
comes of the prophecies a few years ago that the Unit
ed States was bankrupting itself by spending a few
billions to help starving people?—Ncwk York Times.
Humility is a virtue all preach, none practice; and
yet everybody is' content to hear.—John Selden.
Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister: “I have
never shared the view that this would be a short war
or that it would end in 1942.”

ISiizis Proclaim Internal Punre
To Wipe Out Tepid War Backers
Political Foes Are Bracketed with Drunkards as Anti
Social Elements’ — Campaign of Elimination Is
Begun in Austrian Zone
LONDON, (/P) — All persons within the German
Reich who are deemed irresponsible, lazy, quarrel
some, immoral or in any way disinclined toward whole
hearted support of the war effort were marked down by
the Nazi party for a ruthless purge which already has
gotten under way in Vienna and the Austrian Province
of the Lower Danube. The internal campaign, on a
scope so broad that apparently the Nazis can imprison
or otherwise dispose of anyone whose looks they, do
not happen to like, was disclosed in a radio broadcast by
DNB, the official German news agency. Elimination of
this “element of unrest of the first order,” said DNB.
is “very important, particularly in wartime.”
Particular objectives of the purge are “anti-social
elements,” the agency said, applying this epithet to
anyone who, “owing to criminal, antnState or quer
elous inclinations, continually enters into conflict with
the penal law, the police and other authorities.” Other
elements, whch it said were to be “educated” by the
Gestapo or sent to forced labor camps or to “welfare
institutions,” included the “annunity-hunter, loath to
do any kind of work, and the insurance sponger, or
whoever tried to burden the community with his up
keep and that of his children; whoever is particularly
uneconomical and uncontrolled, lacks a sense of respon
sibility and is neither able to run an orderly house
hold nor raise children to become useful citizens. . . the
drunkard . . . and, finally, persons who stand outside
the national community by their immoral life or earn
their living by it.”
The broadcast also made somewhat vague references
to racial purity, persons of unsound mind and persons
having hereditary diseases. Although hostility to the
Nazi regime long have been subject to harsh repres
sive measures, DNB indicated that in this intensifica
tion of the campaign against dissidents and drones the
Nazi party alone would be both prosecutor and judge.
Text of The Broadcast
The text of the broadcast follows: “The fight against
anti-social elements always has been a foremost prob
lem of population policy. In some provinces of the
Reich an attempt has now been made to take active
steps to tight those incapable of living in the com
munity.
“The leadership of the National Socialist German
Workers party for racial policy has welcomed and ap
proved these steps. Since anti-social persons represent
an element of unrest of the first order, this work is
very important, particularly in wartime. Certain uni
fied directives ought to be followed, and all provinces
must agree on a system of grading. Throughout the
entire Reich there must be a uniform conception of
who is capable of living in the community. To insure
this uniform attitude, clarification of the term recently
arrived at in the Gau Neiderdonau (Lower Danube
Province) has been made compulsory. It conforms with
directive issued by the Reich’s Ministry of Interior con
cerning definition of hereditary diseases.
“According to this leaflet, individuals incapable of
living in a community are all those who owing to their
mental attitude, are incapable of satisfying the mini
mum requirements of the national community regard
ing their personal, social and national bearing. The
anti-social, therefore, is anyone who, owing to crim
inal, anti-State or querelous inclinations, continually
enters into conflict with the penal law, the police1 ui
other authorities.
“Additionally. the annuity- j
hunter, loath to do any kind of '
work, and the insurance spong
er. or whoever tries to burden
the community with hi- upkeep
and that of his children; who
ever is particularly uneconom
ical and uncontrolled, lacks a
sense of responsibility and is
neither able to run an orderly
household nor raise children to
her. ns > useful citizens.
“Also the drunkard who spends
a considerable part of in- wges
on alcohol and endangers his
family. And finally, persons who
stand outside the national com
munity by their immoral lib- or
earn their living by it.
Persons incapable of living in
the community arc considered
, dangerous for our people. They
i disintegrate the national com
munity. and by their numerous
inferior offspring threaten the
health of coming generations.
The Central Office for Racial
Policy has at the same time
called attention t > 1ho exemplary
practical fight started against
these individuals in Vienna and
N ederdonau. With the help of
i cal group leaders and labor of
fices. the persons affected are be
ing rnunde 1 up in N ederdonau.
“Committee save been ap
pointed in di-tret and regions
to derd with these anti-social ele
ments. Their expert opinions will
bind administration authorities.
The hatter will decide whether
an individual will bt sent to an
institute of weifare, to forced
labor, or to a labor educational
camp of the state police.”

tions. it was .-aid. have been cm
powered to interfere with legal
procedure in all its stages. They
may suspend sentences that “do
not conform with the policy of

State.” The Nazi Ministry of Jus
tin* pointed out that it had been
turned into a body that merely
records the decrees of Herr Hit
lit, Heinrich Hinder, Chief of
i the Gestapo, and other Nazi lead
j ers.
As a result, discontent is ram
pant in the Ministry itself, which
is retaliating by sending Storm
