THE NEW SHUFFLE
It is reported that under the new administration;
Alaska will see the broom sweep clean in every federal,
office. It is said this will include ah those Democrats who
Pave held office under Kepublican adminstrations. Again,
that the Democratic organization of Alaska will exclude
all such former or present incumbents in their endorsa
lions for appointive office.
Thus many of the mugwumps who have straddled!
the fence while the Bourbons were fighting in the open
will find themselves outside of the plum orchard.
And it is just that this change take place. Too long
tenure in public office makes for lethargy and stunts pro
gress. From time to time it is necessary to introduce new
blood and have a general shakeup.
In the process of recommending men for Federal ap
pointment it is reported that the acid test will be applied
with a view to naming men whose names will not evoke
opposition in Washington.
If no other result follow it will mean the clarifying I
of the political atmosphere and the encouragement of
men to take a decisive stand on principles rather than
cat-hopping from one party to the other under the inspir
ation of getting a nose into the feed trough.
NO WONDER HE LICKED ’EM
The secret of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s overwhelming
victory may now be told. In a statement relative to the
driving of Die bonus veterans from Wshington, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur said: “It would have been a real bat
tle had we waited another week. I believe the institutions
of the government would have been severely threatened.”
If a few thousand ragged, hungry men can throw
the government into such a funk of collywobbles, no won
der Roosevelt lickea them with one hand tied behind him.

If the»‘e is no other way to make the tightwads loos

The Governor of Porto Rico recommends birth con- j
trol because the population has reached 465.5 to the!
square mile. Why not send down a squadron of hit and|
run drivers?
“Listen, guns.” said the modern clergyman, dismis
sing his flock: “After the wire has finished frisking the
palookas everybody scram.”
Astronomists say Pluto is retrograding in the sev- j
enth section, denoting the prevalence of considerable!
crime and marital discord. From some of the reports re-1
ceived he’d better make his scram beyond the 8th or 9th. j
