SIZING UP BALLAINE

John E. BalIaine of Seattle and Seward is considering making the race for the Senate against Senator Miles Poindexter. In 1916 Balaine made the race for Congress from the First Congressional District of Washington and was defeated Bal1aine recently addressed a lengthy open letter to Secretary of Interior Fall in which he gives the secretary a lot of advice on how to conduct the Alaska railroad, etc. The letter shows that Mr. Balaine doesn t want much; just daily train service between Seward and Fairbanks by way of the outside route, on three-day schedule. MT. Ballaine has large number of town lots in the town of Seward. If Secretary Fall would heed the advice given in MT. BalIaine's letter there would undoubtedly be demand for those lots at stiff prices while the government subsidy was on-Wrangel Sentinel.

AS LLOYD GEORGE SEES IT

From the lips of Lloyd George there has come a complete answer to those American internatonalsts who endeavored to mduce the United States Government to send repre- sentatives to the Genoa Conference. In recent speech at Genoa Lloyd George drew an alarm ing picture of the situation in Europe, declar- ing that storms were brewing there; that Am erica could exercise an influence no otlier country could command, and that, "her very aloofness gives her the right 70 speak.
 Thus we have confirmation from Lloyd George of the assertions 5o frequently made py those who opposed the sending of an Amerl- can representative to Genoa. The quarrelS that now exist are purely European There IS no contention by any one that any oI the European nations are engaged In controVer- sios Wifh any of the nations Of the western hemisphere or with Asia. The quarrels are Dolitical. exactly as stated by President Hard inc in declining to send a representative to inc Conference. Notwithstanding those facts the intcrnatonasts object to the United Sta tps holding aloof but wished this country to become a mcddler in European affairs, thus malino itself a party to the brawls and de- nrivin~ if of that aloofness which might even tuallv give it the right and the power to speak.
 It is mere commonplace to assert that a party to controversy can not possibly De d ncace maker. Although Lloyd George desired the United States to be participant Ill the Genoa Conferences and put forth his best ef- forts to that end, it is apparent that he now ,po]izps his mistake as indicated by his state lnent that America could exercise an influence no other country could command. This inf)u- ence would be utterly gone If the United Sta tes were one of the nations now engaged m bitter controversy.
 If Mr. Lloyd George intended to convey the impression that the aloofness of the United States gives her right to speak today, ne is manifestly in error just as he was when he insisted that it was the duty of the United States to enter the conference n the beglnnm2 Anything that the United States might say or do at the present time would be productive of harm with no likelihood whatever of good It is not certain that there will ever come time when the voice of the United States would bring peace to Europe. Such a time can not come until al! of the parties to the dis putes reach the conclusion that they can nos settle their differences among themselves mutually agree upon the issues to be some m dependent and impartial tribunal with agree ment that the decision of that tribunal will be observed by all concerned.
 Whether the United States can be or will be the best nation to sit in judgement, either by itself or in conjunction with others, it is yet too early to assert However that may be- certain it is that the United States could have done no good by becoming an original member of the conference and all of it's possibilities as an influence for peace rest entirely upon the fact that it has kept out of the quarrels and maintained an impartial and disinterested attitude.

Hungry Rats Quit Mines
And Devastate Country
speoial Dispatch to Tho Tronne

FRoSTBURG, Md, Aug. H.. Twen-
ty-fve thousand famished mine rats,
some of them as big as fve-months-
old cats, have come out of the strike
bound coal pits of the Upper Potomac
and Georges Greek fields, near here,
mobilized into a rodent army under
the command Of the bigger and iercer
members, and are sweeping path of
destruction through the district.
Gardens are being devastated, hen
roosts raided, stores looted and chill
dren in several instances have been
attacked. Real warfare has broken
out with armed parties of strikers
sniping for the rats at all hours of the
day and night. Bags of 200 and 800
are being brought in. Bedposts are
set in pans of water so that sleepers
will be safe.
The mine rats are accustomed to
live ON the scraps from miners dinner
pals and other refuse in the pits, but
for six months the mines in this dis
trict have been idle and there has
ben nothing for the rats to eat but
one another,
Many of the miners have put in
their time during the strike manufac-
turing corn liquor and they are re-
porting serious depredations about
their stills on the part of the rats. At
Barrellsville a group of the rats in
trenched themselves around one af
these home brew plants and refused
to be dislodged. Two bulldogs have
been killed in the fighting at this
salient. ]

speaking" Editor Delker continued,
apparently by way OF an apology for
the gruffness of his tones. ut is my
way to speak loud. Don't mind H..
But ae shouted, II have this TO say:
Editor Delker and Woodrow Wilson
cleaned up Atlantic County in spite
OF all opposition years ago, and have
got letter upon fetter from Woodrow
Wilson to prove it; and If this goes on
IL will come TO this that the news
papers will get no news at all about
this thing"
Great sorrow was expressed, and
Editor Delker went on TO say that an
other thing that had annoyed him was
the report that the daughter Of Ken
tucky,5 who was featured yesterday as
the star applicant Of all, had been
awarded by the jury to Editor Delker,
Editor Delker denied this stoutiy.
"That was just fooling," he said "And
I've, | mean, are serious about this
thing. This case will not be tried un-
til we have twelve high class, compe-
tent people on the jury"

time, apparently. A short converse

seems to nae to give him the first claim
upon the Governorship and the state
leadership.
Hears "the interests
"The permanent success OF the DEM
ocratic party seems to me to lie en-
tirely In the line of faithful service to
the public. Considering the matter
merely from tha narrow standpoint of
policy and political strategy, the Dem
ocratic party cannot make a stronger
appeal to the privileged interests than
the Republican party makes. Nor can
any nominee offer promise of more
abiect service to those interests than
Mr.. Miller has already given. There
fore, should the Democratic party as
sumo to sit ct the table of p1utocracy,
1t would merely be Lazarus at the
feast, securing nothing but the crumbs
which fall from the table Of Dives.
"While if the party became the
champion Of the people in the contest
Of the exploited public against the ex-
plotting profiteers it may have, and l
think certainly will have, the grateful
support of the people for many years
to come, and may sit proudly at the
head of its own political table and not
occupy the hunliliating position Of Al
beggar at the Republican party's board.
II Always remember the saying of
that splendid old Democrat, Samuel j.
Tilden,. Governor of New York, and
leader of the Democratic party in the
days Of its greatest glory. He said
| The Democratic party will always sue
ceed when it has the courage TO be
democratic.'
"That means when it has the courage
to serve the people and not the inter
ests, and when it has the courage to
nominate men who have served the
people and not served the interests.
II propose Mayor Hylan as the best
example of that kind of public man,
and that kind of public service in the
State of New York to-day.

nomination of Alfred E. Smith for Gov

he is to me and just as loyal to him
as he is to me. Therefore whatever
he does is right SO far as ] am con-
cerned.
81 do not agree with him about the
desirability OF my running for office,
and | do firmly believe that in the last
analysis I will find Mr.. Conners with
me in support Of Mayor Hylan for the
Governorship. But Mr.. Conners is en-
titled to his opinion, and | am deeply
complimented by his good opinion and
his fine friendship. | am firm In my
admiration and appreciation of Mr..
Conners. He does not want my author
ity and sanction for anything he does
and he has not asked for it, but if he
did want it he could have it. He il my
friend and / am his, and my cardinal
principle is to stand with my friends.
%. You ask me if l think the nomi-
and Mr.. Miller by the Republicans
would necessitate the creation Of a
third party?
Sees Progressives Gaining
This is something | know nothing
about. | should think, as a general
political proposition, 1t would be wise
to give the progressive sentiment
WHioH rs apparently very SCr0ng al this
time through the whole country some
avenue of expression in order to pre-
vent the formation of third party.
But | feel confident that that avenue
of expression will be furnished by one
or the other of the existing parties.
I'm many states--like Pennsylvania
Indiana, Iowa and North Dakota--the
progressives are gaining control of the
Republican machine. In this state |
think they should, and ! believe they
will, find their natural home In the
Democratic party under such leader
ship as Mayor Hylan's.
"This is progressive period. Any
one who does not realize that cannot
read the handwriting on the wall For
my part, have not departed one jot
from the position ] took at the begin
ming of this campaign. I am for the
nomination Of Mayor Hylan on the
Democratic ticket and for Major La
Guardia on the Republican ticket.
If either party has the intelligence
and the conscience to align itself with
the powerful progressive sentiment ex-
listing throughout the country at this
time, it will nominate such an able and
sincere representative Of the progress
sive sentiment as each one of these men
he's proved himself to be. believe that
the party which does make this appeal
to the progressive sentiment and to the
popular interets will win the election
That is my personal opinion as pro-
gressive Democrat
