As usual, the period just following presidential nomi
nating conventions is marked by mutterings from those
who are dissatisfied with either the platform or candi
dates of their respective parties.
Third party movements are threatened and the dis
grunted give out voluminous interviews airing their
grievances. Sometimes a third party really appears in
some strength, but only once since the Civil War has such
a party changed the normal election result. That was in
1912, when Roosevelt caused the election of Wilson.
This year the same talk is heard as of old. In some
sections of the Middlewest a revolt of Republican farm
ers against Hoover is predicted for November. In the
South a rather noisy group of Democrats are denouncing
Smith.
But with fall will come a cooling-off time, and the
rank and file will doubtless become reconciled to a large
extent and when they go to the polls in November most
of them will vote as they have always voted—for the
party to which they normally belong. Folks are like that.
If Seward decides to join in with Anchorage on the
excursion to Tunnel next month, would it be proper to say
be meeting them half-way ?
PROHIBITION VS PRISONS
Three coast States this year are spending $3,500,000
for new prisons; America spent about $16,000,000 for sim
ilar buildings in 1927.
H. E. Seidl of Cleveland, connected with the prison
construction division of the Van Dorn Iron Works Co.,
says the prohibition law is responsible. In other words,
business is extra good in the jail building line. Still, there
are some firmly convinced that prohibition under its pres
sent guise, is a good law. BUNK!
Mining has transformed more poor men into million
aires and raised them to positions of honor and trust
than any other business.
Coffee Satisfaction
JUDGE your coffee by the number of cups of sat
isfaction per pound and not the price per pound.
With a uniform flavor and strength that meets
every requirement of the most critical taste —
quality is real economy in the highest form.

Vie local Lowell Creek project under

of the project it might be difrcult to

completion of work. He intimated
that he would not be here perman
ently, but hat another engineer would
be coming latter.
