Spectators stood on the beach and
watched the heroic struggle. For many
minutes they feared both Hoffman and
the woman would be drowned. 1t was
night, and only by the lights of the
beach could the crowd watch the two
dark forms bobbing up and down on
the water. And there were cheers
when Hoffman, exhausted, ,towed his
limp burden onto the beach.
The woman declined to divulge her
name. She said she had gone out for
a drive in her limousine and decided
on impulse to 60 swimming before she

Miller Of New York Is a Live Wire

It is not unlikely that the man
who is governor of New York in 1924
will be candidate for the nomination
for President Of the United States-so
say the politicians. They also say
that If Gov. Nathan L. Miller is re-
elected next November it is practically
a foregone conclusion that his friends
will bring him forward for the Repub-
lican nomination, though he consist
emily discourages any suggestion of
the sort now and leaves no doubt that
he Is loyal supporter Of President
Harding for denomination.
It is admitted all around that Gov
ernor Miller has achieved the leader
ship Of the Republican party in New
York. The net result has been the
disappearance Of all opposition to his
denomination and the coalition Of all
factions of the party in the most for
midable political organization seen in
New York in many years. Fifty-four
years old, with a vigorous physique
and commanding presence, Governor

virginia, refusing to permit his name
to be mentioned as department com.
mander in the election by the state
convention. His letter follows:
1.-THE department commander should
devote his principal time to the Legion
Its work, its growth, its welfare
should command his mind, his heart
and soul, and should always be upper
most in his daily life. The position of
department commander is very high
office and 1t Is worthy Of the very best
men in the Legion. 1t is man-size job,
requiring the very best efforts and the
hardest work to handle 1t with the
greatest success.
"Given a commander who would
practically surrender himself to the
Legion, and who could make its prog
ress and success his chief aim and
objective during his term of office, we
would see this Legion of ours expand
and grow in membership, influence and
healthy activity almost beyond con-
ception. I am Of the sincere convic-
tion that If the Legion called a man to
serve as leader-asking him to give
practically his whole time and provid-
Ing for his support-he would, If of
proper caliber, consider that call as
leading him to wonderful service,
just as serious, as noble and as patri-
otic as that which brought him into
uniform against the enemy"
The question is one which has been
much discussed over all the country
by Legionnaires, and probably will
come before the national convention at
New Orleans.

Will La Toilette Head a New Party?

Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette Of
Wisconsin won his campaign for NOM
nation as senator by landslide vic
tory. The politicians are now saying
that his alliance with radicals Is
taken to mean that he will seek the
presidential nomination Of proposed
new national party. They say that
LaFollette's attack on Harding and
Republican policies and his accept
ance Of the Socialist Endorsement Of
his own candidacy are straws indlcat-
ing he would like to run for president
In 1924. Il
Anyway, LaFollette defended his
record in the senate, laying particular
stress on his stand on questions relat-
ing to the World war. He has de-
nounced the four-power treaty and
called the Fordney-McC Cumber tariff
measure the greatest robber tariff
ever attempted" In reviewing the in

Centering Attention on Alaska.
Seattle Times. ]


 Seattle and Alaska will not appreciate the i'm porance of the Presidents visit to the Territory until after he has made the jaunt and returned to Wash ington. Which statement may sound somewhat con tradctory and pardoxical-1but it isn't either
 The fact that MT. Harding is considering the Alaska trip has given the Northland deal of desirable publicity.
 It will get vastly more during the time he is preparing to make the journey and during the trip itself. The continuation will come when he returns to Seattle and perhaps expresses himself regarding Yconditions he has observed in the North.
 All of the West. in company with Alaska, suffers from the fact of removal from the seat of govern ment and the centers of population in the United Estates.
 Seattle has been compelled to recognize this cir cumstance in striking manner. It's Chamber of Com merce has established an office in Washington-with results eminently satisfactory itself and to the community.
 men frequently are unable to legslate intelligently on Western issues because they do not know the country, it's problems it's necessities
 In Alaskas case this difficulty is magnfed and aggravated by added distance from Washington Were it situated for instance in the position of Maine even Of Labrador it would not have been subject for so long time to regulations hamperng it's develop ment and the utilization of it's resources
 When the President goes North he will be ac- companied by small army of star newspaper men and feature writer's" They will study conditions as inently and interesedly will the Chief Execu- tive They will tell their readers in of papers, what they see hear and observe.
 The result will be much intelligent dis cussion of Alaskan affairs Because MT. Harding is interested in the great country, millions of his fellow citizens also wN be interested. They will won der, among other things, why the Federal authority has held back development that population actually has decreased during the past ten years.
 Whenever the American people begin wondering why undesirable conditions permitted to exist the way to reform has been opened That's always the case II will be true in the instance of Alaska
 There is so much that is absurd-so much that is stupdly unprogressiven the bureaucratic admin straton of the Territorys affairs that investigaton will open the eyes of the American people
 Hence the importance of the Presidents visit land of the visit of the Eastern newspaper men who will accompany him.
 The fact he has gone to Alaska will do Fmore to emancpate the Territory from conditions which initiate against its development than any Fthing that ever has occurred in all it's history

MIR. GALEN FOR SELF ACCOMPANIMENT.

James L. Galen, candidate for the Republican nom- nation Delegaeo Congress declares that he is in favor of rewriting the Organic Act under which the Alaska Territorial operates in order that full Territorial form of government may be ex- tended the people of Alaska.
 After all that, far the voters of Alaska can move is the most important problem in this Territory. Congress should first step toward the develop ment of government in Alaska confer the people who live here all the powers the people of other frontiers of America enjoyed during their periods of development No people well qualified to gov ern Alaska as those who live in the Territory and under the laws and regulations that provided for its government. With them Alaska problems are vital.
 As long as government for Alaska is arranged at Washington, 4.000 5000 miles from the gov territory the of the people have little say in their government. Government has been, is and will continue be dictated by those with in- fuence the National capital rather than by the people o.Aaska until the of the people have been extended to everything except the management of Federal-owned resources. Under the full Terri torial form government people the Territory would have much authority the people of the States have to the selection of the Judges of their higher courts the Governor and Territorial Secretary and the privilege of participating in Ma tional matters.
 It is possible, it is probable, that the people Of the Territory would in many instances desire to CO., operate with Federal agencies, it is likely in some instances they would confer Territorial powers upon Federal officials but in those instances the agencies receiving the authority from Territory would be responsible to the people of the Territory for the ner in which they discharged the duties. would be self government
 MT Gaens position is directly in accord with the greatest fundamental principle of the American Republic the right of selfgoyernment. It is the foundation upon which the fathers of the Nation builded Even if nothing else involved in the primary election campaign MT. Galens position this question ought to give him the Republican nomination by an over wheinhng majority next Tuesday.

A REASON FOR THE SALE OF
 GOVERNMENT SHIPS.

i ohe CT the strongest arguments in favor of the saie py the Government of the Shipping Board vessels Is the fact that the Government continues to op crate them it will have to maintain shin wards to meet the demands of the future. The Shipping Board yes- sels will not only require repairs 10 maintain thelr efficiency, but to keep fleet up-to-date there must be constant replacements improvement with newer and better ships to meet the competition of those who Keep their fleets up the standards n that way It would be only few years before the Shipping Board fleet would be antequated and far behind in the if ships were not being added 10 II yearly ships with all the latest improvements This feature of the situation was put before a joint meeting of the Senate Committee and the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries by Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board April 4 when he said

METHODISM RENTING THE CENTENARY
 MOVEMENT

The great Centenary campaign of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the spring of 1919 did not end the activities of that denomination to increase It's benevolent and missionary offerings. It has been steadily at the task since though not in as spectacular way. The Every Member Canvass which IS 10 be carried on in every Methodist Episcopal Chdrch throughout the United States from May to May 21 1922, is a practical demonstration of the persistency of Methodist leaders provide adequate funds for carrying the great program outlined at the time the Centenary movement was launched
 During the two years and eight months which centenary Funds have been available the Methodist Episcopal Church has made great advance in it's mis- sonary and benevolent activities
 In the four years before the Centenary the Metho- dist Episcopal Church gave the benevolent boards included in the Centenary $13,544l19 and during the first year of the Centenary period sl5 e0s 032 During the two years and eight months of the Cen tenafy period there has been paid in $40,76S340
