WHEN THE NATION SPEAKS

How well it voices ils judgement will depend wheth
er or not we will he permitted to relax and divert our at
tention to pureiy personal affairs or have our routine up
'Ct by eontilmeu controversial questions.
Whatever might- be the impression that the nation
nas sum; to the nadir of political corruption and ineffi
ciency., there are many good men and true ready to brave
tlie odium and unjust misjudgement of those ‘who have
fy°v'pessimistic and snoulder the grave responsibilities
or government.
These are the men the voters will have to decide!
upon. I he matter no longer rests in the hands of those in
power. It is one reposing directly in the hands of every
man entitled to the franchise.
The man.who fails to avail himself of the right to!
voice his choice in the selection of those entrusted with!
the management of his political affairs can hardly merit j
the right to voice protest or criticism if matters* do not!
go to suit him.
1 here are many splendid men seeking office in the
Territory who arc entitled to the confidence and respect
of everyone. The crucial point is in exercising ripe dis
crimination in selecting the best.
The cry is for progress. To secure it the best minds
■and talents must be chosen.
It is now up to the voter.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Carefully analyzing press comments, ebb and flow
of national sentiment as expressed in deflection of Dem
ocrats from the Roosevelt standard and a like gravitation
of nationally known Republicans from Hoover to Roos-!
evelt, Tuesday’s elections appear to'offer something rad-1
ically different from much that has gone before in poli-1
tieal campaigns.
It will be noted that where there is desertion from j
ihe Democratic standard it has been composed of what1
are termed “conservatives.” A check up of these “con
servatives” reveals that they are, for the most part, those
who have been identified with big business and to whom!
dollars stand above country and principles.
On the other hand those outstanding characters who
deserted the Hoover standard and declared them-i

many
sociali: . n win t are termed “reds.
• for Rooseeelt represent a group of men who have
! valiant and unceasing battle to thwart just what
: l . r.ed in the United States. Along with them are
of those whc have composed radical groups, like
ft is in uiis latter group one finds much food for
though;. It has been the habit of leaders of both political
parties and all there who subscribe to what may be term
ed the monarchic! principle of rulership, to brand these
“radicals” and ‘ reds” as bent upon destruction of prop
erty and the substitution of anarchy.
The fact that they have lined up politically behind a
party never to he in sympathy with direct action or a
disruption of the principles of free democratic govern
ment discloses that once an extremist is shown the cor
rect road by which he can travel toward orderly read
justments of his ills he is ready to take it in preference
*o drastic and disruptive action.
Popular government presupposes a program accept
able to all classes of people. It nothing else, Roosevelt of

M V S PRODUCTION GARDENING
is saiu tnat Henry l ord, having ordered his em- I
Payees to grow their own truck, paid a visit to the scene 1
of operation to observe progress.
“How are things coming?” he asked of a group of
men idling at the end of a row.
“Sorter held up,” replied the spokesman. “The seed
buyer got a snoot full, and we are waiting for the pack
age opener to hand them to the sower, after which the
trench digger will open the row, the coverer follow, and
the patter down will finish the operation.”
At least Mr. Hoover should receive the vote of the
poker playing sugar daddies. He promises them a “chick
en in every pot.”
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Without entering into a discussion of the merits 01
i demerits of the controversy between Auditor Cash Cole
and the remainder of the Board of Control, the discus
i sions and revelations indicate that there is much work to
do in shaping the functions of the board to the needs of
i the hour.
It has come to light that while the Board of Control
is supposed to exercise authority in disbursing moneys
| from the treasury, the School Board takes the position
j that “neither the auditor nor this (Board of Control) has
| rny authority to review the action of the School Board in
letting a contract for transportation.” ....
It is argued by the School Board that there is noth
ing under the laws of the Territory to compel it to demand
a bond for faithful performance of contracts. It also is
disclosed that the Board of Control approved claims over
the protest of the Auditor after deciding that “it was
found that the contracts were faulty but that the work
had been performed, and materials furnished.”.
'The question is not so much one of difference of
opinion by various members of the board, but whether
matters should be run in a slip-shod manner rather than
in accordance with the dictates of good business.
The next Legislature will doubtless be called upon to
iron out many wrinkles in the functioning of the Board
of Control not the least of which is to allocate responsi
bility and see that it is observed.
The administration predicts that the next few
months will be momentous in the history of the nation.
What! is the hit and run depression coming back?
Secretary Chapin declares he sees a basis of recovery
In the “driving spirit of the people.” Which evidently
means that some of those bumped off the road have a
chance of beating the undertaker.
The spokesman for the Administration declares a
“new aggressive mood is gripping the country.” So we
have observed.
