OUR NEW DEAL PRESIDENT
With a suddenness as startling as it is revolutionary,
President Roosevelt reaches out and grasps the reins
dropped by Ex-President Hoover, clamps his foot upon
the brake and halls the mad steed of national depression.
He now launches upon the task of discovering the
flaw in the harness which has been chafing and which
caused the runaway. .
So rapidly have events crowded upon another s heels
that few have had time to recover from one startling
climax before another is ushered in.
It rook courage to launch such a program as that of
Saturday and Sunday, and all evidence points to a united
party backing tie new incumbent, who, unlike his pre
decessor, so ablv displays epitude for leadership.
That Mr. Roosevelt assumes full responsibility for his
program is shown in the fact that he immediately giaSp
ed every power within his constitutional reach, not wait
ing for Congresss to muddle along with panaceas.
In the manner in which he will exercise his judge
ment and point the way to a more happy condition of af
fairs will impinge his right to go down in history ss the
greatest president since his illustrious kinsman, ±heo
dore Roosevelt stepped from the stage. _ . .
That he is purely Rooseveltan in a biological sense;
is displayed in the directness of his movement and the
lack of hesitancy in putting into motion an idea he be
lieves to be for the best of the nation regardless of class
or political complexion.
No one may claim to have been taken by surprise at
his sudden bank holiday and a plan to separate the wheat
from the chaff, by his*labor conscription plan. Nor they
need be startled by even more revolutionary acts. It is in
his program to re-establish the entire country on a
firm footing regardless of what impositions it may entail.
These are times when the flabbiness of a too supine
democracy must yield to strong men. Rut in this volition
al contribution the general public finds the invigorating
presence of the new President, carrying vvich him a con
fidence few of his predecessors have enjoyed, a flaming
beacon of hope. , ,
Few men in peacetimes have received suen a treinem
dous response to his call for the nation’s best brains, in
cluding nearly every governor in the 48 states, nor has
h*N procedure met with greater response from the public.
Each epoch has demanded the emergence of a great
pevsonalitv, emblematic of its highest ethos. In this man
Roocevelt is more than President. His advent smatters
of the messianic.
Those who would obstruct and intrude petti elements
into the great national rejuvenation program will prove
themselves unworthy of the name American.
The Japanese have smashed thru the Great Wall of
China which caused the Chinese general to exclaim: My
word! Whut a hole!”
jvjovv after Congress finishes with the suit against
Andy Mellon it will turn to war profiteers, and it might
be possible to balance the budget without raising taxes.
It’s better to be bom lucky than rich. The rich get
kidnapped.
“Oh, Mr. Hannon, I didn’t know you could speak
Chinese”, exclaimed the sweet young thing. “Ah, nertz!”
ejaculated the popular Alaskan radio announcer, “that
was the war I was reporting. Be your age, woman.”
They are incorporating Chinese words in Indian
songs. iNo wonder Gandhi tore up his shirt.
Gold is where you find it. But of course must be
looked for to find.

LONG PUNE FLIGHT
ENDED, FIVE DEFUSE
EDDIE FDD IDE SUITES
Darting down from the skies
like Halley’s comet and flipping its
tail in salutation or salute, clim
axing an aerial jaunt throughout
remote Interior regions, Pilot Steve
Mills brought his big plane to
earth in Seward today; five pas
sengers were between decks.
These included the well known
fur buyer Joe E. Agnew, of the
Agnew Fus Sales, Seattle; A1 Kot
zerke. fur buyer representing a
New York firm; Clarke M. Garber,
one of the best known educators
in the Northland and until re
cently, superintendent of the In
terior country’s school system,
Bureau of Indian Affairs; Mrs.
Garber, a most charming lady, and
son Junior, a fine looking, stal
wart young chap; a chip off the
“old block.”
After landing Mills cast one look
over his left shoulder and saw a
dark cloud 3,000 miles away, so,
fearing another of Seward’s in
famous wind storms might des
cend, took the air and away for
his Anchorage base, leaving a big
batch of Gateway news for KFQD
behind. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
A complete log of Agnew’s air
plane trip will appear in tomor
row’s Gateway, also more on the
“Kotzebue Kid.”
The Garbers will buy an auto
mobile in Seattle then motor thru
Southern States to Columbus, O.,
where he will be associated with
an institution and also continue
post graduate work. Besides many
special Alaskan articles, Mr. Gar
ber will complete and publish this
year a book entitled “Folk Tales
of the Bering Strait Eskimos.” He
is, unquestionably, one of the lead
ing authorities on these Eskimos
in or out of the Northland. The
family flew to Anchorage last
week from Akiak.
The entire party departs this
evening for the south on the SS
Admiral Evans.
