While many Republicans agreed to this plan. those who were directing the party organization put the suggestion aside and entered into negotiations with the Progressive Prohibition So. calist and independent members. of Congress with the idea in view of securing majority for organiza. tion purposes. This was followed by like move mentyOn the part ot the Democrats When 1t became apparent that the Democrats would probably succeed Republican Leader Mann made his proposal for a bi- partisan organization Of the House Representative Randall. the Prohibtonist member from California said yesterday that Manns proposal came too late the Democrats had cinched a majority and there no occasion for them combine with the Republicans.

ROAD WORK IN ALASKA

The report that the Secretary of War was con. sidering the turning over of the Alaska road work to the Interior Department does not mean that Secre. tary Baker is not pleased with the work that is being performed in Alaska under the direction of Col Rich ardson It means simply that the War Department is attempting to get rid of all the work that is not strictly army work that is possible that all of the army officers and men that be restored to army duty where they will be needed in the event of war. It is recognized that if to have war the War Department should not be encountered with any line of work that would take it's attention away from the army or the

FEDERAL PROBATION
CChicago Herald)

EGTdIUJ
 The principle of placing first offenders proba. ion, for long the practice of Illinois and other states. has become part of the procedure of the federal courts.
 The last Congress passed an act which gives the United States judges the right probation under conditions approved by the Only persons con. yicted of murder treason, rape arson Kidnapping and those convicted twice of felony ineligible. The powers thus given the Federal courts broader than those enjoyed by the Illinois jurists.
 No probation officers provided by the act and in consequence. it is probable that the service Cook Countys chief probation officer John w. Hous ton. will be utilized in Chicago. The law has long been needed Many persons technically guilty have been needlessly imprisoned because of the of probationary power By this enlightened step the nation progresses in it's handling of the perennial prob lem of crime.

We Need Them, Too.

A farmer in The Star office said
that he was undone by OVERRIDING the
thing in the way of growing perish
able products. He raised more than
he could sell on the local market and
the balance has gone to waste in the
field. He has come to the conclusion
that the only possible inducement
for him to grow large crops of per-
ishable products is a commercial
cannery that will provide a market
for that kind of farmers. The kind
of factories that Wilmington needs
more than anything else are factories
that will make commercial products
out of the great abundance of raw
materials produced in this section.
Otherwise, our raw materials simply

sumo them will make a market for
the raw material and make money for
the factories. 1t is quite certain, also
that factories will give employment
