organization. flushed with the victory in Jefferson county and Birmingham, had field representatives in various counties in order that the organization may be factor in the state campaign in the early spring.
 Friends of Edward D. Smith, national committeeman, were very actiVed uring the week in an effort to put him into the race as q local option candidate for gov ernor It is claimed that MT. Smith in the past month has received hundreds of letters and scores of telegrams insist ing that he is the logical man to repre- sent the local oDtionists in the campaign because of his victory over Borden Burr. prohibitionist. for national committee and his activities in behalf of local option in days gone by. Close personal friends of Mr Smith claim to know that he will not enter the contest unless he has the unqualified and general support of local optionists.
 During the week the report was started that John H. Wallace. Jr., who has been a local option. candidate for several months. would be askec to retire and lend his assistance to the man who might be agreed upon by the local op- tionists.
 1T know those who might ask me to retire are very few" said MT. Wallace.
  q nroDosition s'I know that large ma ioritv of persons who believe in local option and home rule are with me. How ever, there never has been time when there were not a few who opposed the thing a majority desired. It is my in tention to continue this race until the campaign has closed, and until the last ballot has been counted and until the result has been declared I stepped out of the race last time and this time have no intention of doing so. Within few weeks I expect Jo find 8 vast majority of local optionists standing be- hind me in my campaign
 MT. Wallace didn't appreciate any re- nort that any crowd would, attempt to force him out of the race. "I have fought those who were back of the prohibition legislation" he said. T have fought the so-called high commission of the pro- hihtionists. I have been opposed to all rings. I would be just as persistent in my opposition to a locaI option ring as I would to prohibition ring. All rings look alike to me-
 If the local optionists do not line up behind Mir Wallace the campaign will be made with two local optionists and two prohibitionists as candidates for governor.
 H. F. Lee, candidate for state auditor has visited several counties recently in an effort to line up all persons behind him and claims to have received general encouragement especially from public of ficials and lawyers Who know his work as chief clerk of the auditors depart ment and secretary or the board of equaliza ton.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING WILL BE ISSUE IN CONGRESS 1t Is Believed That Admin istration Will Lend Sup
 port to Plan LESSONS OF THIS WAR MUST NOT BE LOST This Is Statement of Congressman Kahn, Who Will, No Doubt, Aid
 in Fight for Passage of
 Measure
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, November 2t-(SpeciaL) ) Universal military training will be one Of the chief issues before Congress dur ing the next session. While the admin istration has not made public it's views and convictions, it is believed that in the long run the President will espouse the cause.
 There is no doubt, however in the minds of members at present in Wash ington but that universal military train- ing is certain, at some future time, to be adopted. Thereafter, every male citi- zen, for number of months each year, will be required to bear arms and be- come versed in military tactics.
 Julius Kahn, California republican, born of German parents in Germany, who as ranking republican member of the House committee on military affairs. led the administration fight for selec- tive conscription as against the volun- teer methods of producing an army, has openly and vehemently espoused the principle of universal training

WHO rs CHAMPION heavy
weight mitt singer OF the Pacific
Coast?
There n but one answer TO this
question that has arisen as the re-
suit Of the recent Dempsey Meehan
bout being billed as a champion
ship tilt by San Francisco promot-
ers. Chef Mcintyre Is champion
heavyweight of the Pacific Coast.
When Jack Dempsey and Meehan
tangled they fought for a title that
Meehan had already lost 10 Mcln-
tyre
Following the Meehan- Mcintyre
bout at the Arena in Seattle sew
eral months ago. Willie ran around
the dressing room wailing:
"Oh. me title. me title: they've
robbed me OF me title"
II was then discovered that Nee
han was recognized as the heavy
weight champion OF the Pacific
Coast In California and that as a
consequence Chef Mcintyre. who
had Just beaten the Frisco cry
baby. held the title.
Well, Chef has never lost that
title and Meehan never had II
when he fought Jack Dempsey.
II is true that Mcintyre wired
Meehan his congratulations and
gave him back the championship
as a wedding present when Willie
took a bride. but that doesn't stick.
Chef Mcintyre Is still champion
heavyweight OF the Coast. and II Is
up to Jack Dempsey or Willie Nee
han to beat him before they can
lay any Just claims 10 the crown.
At present Jack Dempsey seems
TO be the most logical opponent for
the doughty Chef. A match be
tween these two would no doubt
prove a good drawing card In any
Of the Northwestern cities.

By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.

In youth we go madly or gladly
on, flying from one thing to another
all seems inconsequential, yet
quite important in the end. We try
to absorb much of that which is
wonderful to us; new ideas, new
conditions, new surroundings. All
of these confront youth SO rapidly
that the brain is in a whirl OF wild
excitement for years.
Pessimists claim that youth holds
the joys of life and that when mid
die age begins we have nothing left
but memories.
How thankful we should be that
only few OF us are pessimists!
Youth does not enjoy-it only
effervescesl
Youth does not create-it merely
consumes!
Youth does not love--it knows
but infatuationl
The bud is not the only beautiful
stage in the life of a rose. 1t is
pretty, and delicately shades, but
only a promise of what the full
blown rose will be.
And so is youth fresh, and lovely,
but only an indication of the mature
person.
Youth, imbibes, absorbs and makes
ready for life-life which really
comes, in the fullest sense, to those
who have reached middle age. At
the noon of life we begin to un-
derstand, to appreciate and to ac-
cept the joys and sorrows Of the
day; to love and learn from them
both.
