How to do" the British Isles in

A dash around London. a flying de-
scent on one or two cathedral cities,
race through Scotland and glance
at killarney-this what is open to
those who want to see the country
in hurry. Tourist agents say that
the idea is catching on with Ameri-
cans. Indeed it was an American who
first suggested it.
Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday. he devotes that
day to the show places of London,
winding up with theater In the eve
ming. On Thursday he goes to Wind
sor and Hampton Court and on his
return to London has time to go to
music hall. On Wednesday he leaves
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three
o'clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minister and other
historic buildings before catching the
els train to Hamburger. . He coaches
through the Trossachs and takes
steamer through Loeb Katrine and
Loeb Lomond. Then the train to

After dinner the hustler takes the

in the afternoon and takes the night

Stephen Hagen, manager of a
Harlem bank, at dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending vacation in a
city in the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in bank While
there he saw severelooking woman
move up to the teller's window and
request that small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would ider-
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: She
looked like the crankiest person in
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about five years ago.

a phrase which originated when the

PRESIDENTIAL BEE
ON THE JOB

Washington, D. O.. Senator
John Sharp Williams OF Mississ-
ippi-one of the keenest intellects
in Congress-while discussing the
currency question the other day
said: at is wonderful what a
wreck can be wrought in a per-
fectly sound mind by a presiden-
tial bee." Senator Root of New
York, who has constituted himself
''yell-leader" for the G. o. P. cal
amity howlers, WAS the target for
Williams sarcastic fling but it
might be directed with equal force
against number of statesmen
who are just now inhabitipg the
twilight zone" between the Re-
publican and the Progressive par
ties and raucously clamoring for a
union of those parties on any old
basis in order that the afore-men-
toned statesmen may become the
chief executive of this nation.
OF course all of them could not
secure the coveted plum, but each
treasures the hope that he would
be the lucky man. 1t is right
there that we are made to realize
what q wreck can be wrought in
perfectly sound mind by presi-
dental bee." These men are will
ing to abandon the issues which
have made them national leaders
and follow off after Jack O. Lam
tern which will probably lead them
into the morass of dishonor and
defeat.

EDWARD
KEATlNC
Congressman from
Colorado

Guggenhelm with view OF formu-
lating program on which 1.-The
friends of popular government
might unite. There was little talk
of the principles which are engag-
ing the attention of the people of
the nation but much wowing
concerning the basis of represent
alton in the next national oonven-
ton.
"Uncle Joe" gave a carefully
prepared interview to the press in
which he declared that the country
was going to the dogs and that
the only hope of saving it lay in
the return to Standpat leadership
and the blessings of a high pro-
tective tariff. At the same time
Senator Elihu Root of New York,
who "steam rollered" Roosevelt in
the Chicago convention, denounced
President Wilson's attempt TO re-
form our banking and currency
system and insisted that any inter
ference with the Money Trust
would be punished by devastat-
ing panic.
The "Speckled and Spotted
Progressives" in the harmony"
conference did not take issue with
these reactionary declarations.
They either remained silent or ac-
quiesced The presidential bee
was getting in its work. 1t is only
just to say that the members of
the Progressive party in Congress
paid little or no attention to the
conference. LaFollette, Murdock,
Poindexter and the group which
rallies around them in the House
and Senate understand that "the
Interests" promoted the confer
ence in the hope of returning the
Cannons, the Penroses and the
Guggenheims to power, and that
Cummins, Borah and Hadley were
the foolish little flies that walked
into the spiders web.
SUGAR TRUST ACTIVE

resented at the conference. War
rem of Michigan, head of the Sugar
Interests in that section, was
leader in all the discussions. 1t is
we'll known here that the Iuter-
ests expect to play an important

tally in such states as Colorado.
have it on very good authority that
they have already selected the can
didate they will attempt to elect to
the place in the U. s. Senate
now occupied by Chas s. Thomas.
He is former Progressive and the
plan is to nominate him in the
Progressive primary and then put
on the Republican ticket. An ef-
fort will also be made to unite
Colorado Republicans and Pro-
gressives on Congressional ticket. |
The success of such fusion would
be heralded far and wide by the
Sugar Interests as a reputation of
the Democratic tariff policies.
OF course, the real Progressives
in Colorado will insist on being
heard before this deal is consum-
mated, but the Sugar Trust be-
lieves that it can pour enough

DEVELOPING ALASKA

| ouClo OdW ID dUOut 10 eul UHIk
in the railroad business. Ths
House is now considering q bill
authorizing the President to ex-
pend $35 ,0OO,0 in the construc-
ton Of railroad in Alaska. I
like the measure except for one
feature: The President is vested
with discretion to either operate or
LEASE the road. 1 am opposed to
any suggestion that the control Of
the line shall pass from the Gov
ernment If the people bear all
the expense and take all the risk
incident to the construction Of u
great railroad system in this CON-
paratively unknown region, then
no corporation should be permitted
to come in at the eleventh hour
and pocket the profits. l hope the
House will strike out this pro-
vision. Debate on the bill has
brought out much interesting in
formation concerning the Northern
territory. The United States pur-
chased Alaska from Russia in 1867
for 81 ,0OO,0OO-and a good many
men thought we had not secured
much of bargain. Since then
our people have taken from Alaska,
in minerals and sea and fur prod
ucts 1929, ,523,63O. And the sur
face is barely scratched. The ex-
perts who appeared before the
Committee which considered the
bill said that Alaska had more coal
than Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Ohio combined, more copper
than Michigan and Arizona, more
gold than Colorado and California,
more tin than Wales and more
fish than all the other American
waters.
Secretary cf the Interior Lane
in supporting the measure declared
whoever owns the railroads of

the future of that country" II
that be true,-and who will ques-
ton itp-how essential is it that
we should set about the develop
ment of this rich empire with
view to the welfare and happiness
