APPROACHING THE IDEAL
While the nation is singing the praises of President
Roosevelt the fact must not be overlooked that his Con
gress comes nearest to being the sum total of ideal to
anything in the history of the nation.
Even Washington, in the days when the.fate of the
nation hung in the balance, had no such functioning body
to co-operate with him and-bring into action his desires
It is the nature of politicians to make some specta
cular gesture calculated to please the folks back home,
even unto at times making themselves ridiculous in the
eves of the remainder of the nation.
Not so with the present body. Like the President
they apparently have signalled to the folks back Home
that they are bent upon doing their solemn duty, and if
their constituents do not like it, they may express .them
selves when again called upon to ballot for the office.
This unit action, expressed in the President and
Congress, opens the vista of a reinstated responsible
party government as against bloc and irresponsible “in
dependents” whose presence in Congress has been the
agency thru which responsible party government has
been confused ana the people divided.
It is a noteworthy fact that those European coun
tries which have a half-dozen or more “parties” filling
their legislative branch have been beset by more vicis
situdes than such governments as Italy.
To the glory of America this elimination process,
fraught with governmental upsets in Europe, has been
accomplished thru orderly and sober action of the peo
ple. Whatever there is smattering of dictatorship is the
gift of a free people unsupported by riots and bayonets. !
Whatever glory attaches to the President must be
shared by Congress, the best we have had in 100 years. |

After reading the Seattle account of tw^o co-eds in
their thrilling txpereinces of being marooned upon am
Aleutan island upon which wild cattle roam, one gets thei
correct definition of “shooting the bull.”

In the new deal it appears that all poorly paid gov- j
eminent workers got was the cut, while Alaska drew
the discard in its Legislature.

- in Seward in point of color and

ceedingly capable cast of young
boys and girls of the Jesse Lee
Home, assisted by members of the
j faculty, and the unfaltering speech
! and action of every individual,
! even down to the tiniest tots bare_
; ly of school age, was proof of the
j unceasing and tireless efforts of
! the directors whose work brought
such wonderful results m the great
| success with which the pageant
was presented.

sented in Seward in 1927 and has1
; been given once every three years
