THE SAME OLD SHELL GAME
Men representative of the leaders of the nation’s poli
tics inarching up and down the floor of the convention
hall, shouting and gesticulating like dervishes, lashing
themselves into a frenzy of mock enthusiasm like a tribe
of Indians preparing for the warpath, singing the glories
of their battle and the valor shown against a foe.
This epitomises the Republican convention, called in
to action to choose men capable of leading the nation out
of its worst depression in history. No solemn, sober,
counceling, no highly crystallized thought analyzing to the
present and offering a comprehensive program for the
future.
In his salutatory to the convention Chairman Snell
devoted his high lights to telling the old plunderbund what
a holy mess the Democrats would make of things if elect
ed; that it was only when accepting the leadership of Her
bert Hoover that they showed any aptitude for legislation.
Surely he must have referred to the action of voting two
billion dollars for the benefit ofthe bankers at Mr. Hoov
er’s behest and showed the inaptitude by taking cogniz
ance of the hungry man in the street by battling to allow
him to share in this plutocratic dole.
It was thought that something electric in the form
of statesmanship would emanate from 'the chairman’s
opening address. Rather it was the same old hooey the
politicians have been doling out to the masses, the same
anarchistic milling around and substituting the methods
of the primitive savages for sober, earnest groping for a
solution.
Alaska was handed the sop of two additional repre
sentatives in the convention, and the musty platitude of
home rule, something promised four years ago but not
lived up to. And this at a time when cabinet members
are misrepresenting Alaska in bills offered to Congress,
the practical abandonment of the Territory like an un
welcomed foundling and at a time when it is most in need
of sustaining good faith and encouragement.
The entire session of the Chicago show proved a
complete flop insofar as it indicated anything different
from empty promises and deception of the people.
Well maybe the new tax on chewing gum will help
to eliminate the static radios which must ante an addi
tional 5 per cent.
LOCAL BOV MAKING
GOOD, COMPETITION
METRO-GOLDWTN
Competition with Metro-Goldwyn
-Mayer in the filming of exclusive
Alaskan motion pictures was an
nounced this morning by J. Earl
Roy, Bilgewater, Superintendent of
the Ship’s Oil Cans for the U. S. S.,
Discoverer of the U. S- Coast and
Geodetic Survey. Lord Bilgewater
is the accomplished possessor of the
only motion picture camera and
projector in captivity in the Coast
Survey, and has achieved distinct
ion and respect for his many films
of Alaskan wild life as seen from
the decks of a Coast Survey ship.
“I am at w’ork now on a film the
importance of which can not be
over-whiched,” said the Lord over
his morning coffee today. “It will
include the entire gamut of human
I emotions and intellect, the power
of brute force and the law of sur
vival of the fittest. I shall have
noted stars as well as undeveloped
talent in my forthcoming picture,
which will be entitled “Every Day
in the Coast Survey— Just Like
Sunday on the Farm”.
The Lord has been seen by mem
bers of the crew of the Discoverer,
trundling his little black box
around on the deck of the ship, set
ting it here and there and keep
ing it always in readiness for choice
shots at life. Arms a-kimbo, or hand
shading his eyes, he is ever alert
for the unusual.
“I am attempting to avoid the
repetition of my famous last words,”
said the Lord, “which are —‘and
then I dashed below to get my
camera, but was too late,”.
“You say Jack is still in the hos
pital. Pretty sick, eh?”
“No, pretty nurse.”

URGE COLLECTION OF
One of the most extensive collec
tions of pictures of Abraham Lin
coln ever assembled has been ob
tained by the Lincoln Historical
Foundation, of Fort Wayne Indi
ana.
The collection numbers 1,669 pic
tures of the President and scenes in
his life. It will be placed on exhibi
tion in the foundation’s library,
which already houses the largest
collection of Lincoln literature in
existence.
This collection, according to Dr.
Louis A. Warren, director of the
i foundation, makes the library and
adjacent museum the richest store
house of information on Lincoln in
the country. x
The total amount of gold re
covered from the placers of Calif
ornia from 1884, when Marshall dis
covered the precious metal in the
mill race at Coloma, to 1928, was
$1,226,915,404.

CROCKER GOES SOUTH
j U. G. Crocker, one of Anchorage’s
i leading business men, accompanied
by his son, boarded the SS Aleu
tian Friday for Seattle, enroute to
California and the Olympic Games.
Mr. Crocker, a former resident of
Seward, visited many friends dur
ing the few hours here and, it was
noticed, he still retains his opti
mistic viewpoint on life in general;
time is treating him kindly. His
only regret was that Mrs. Crocker
is not with him on the present
journey.
