BUT THEY DO WORM IN


The congress of the United States
wastes much time prying into matters
which, no matter how they may be
settled, mean nothing to the people
in general. Men like Watson of
Georgia, Reed of Missouri and others
we could mention froth and fume day
after day about something of little or
no consequence, while important
matters are neglected or overlooked
entirely. The senate of the United
States is an all-powerful body, the
highest in the land; but dignity is
often cast aside-in fact, common
decency is overlooked when hot-head-
ed members tear into one another
This is deplorable, and goes to show
that in many sections of the country
men worm their way into high and
honorable positions who are unfit, in
tellectually and otherwise, to serve
on a small-town board of trustees I
There was time when men were
chosen for high office only when they
measured up to the tasks before
them. Not any more, so far as the
congress of the United States is con-
cerned. Anything goes now, from a
socialist fire-eater to lawyer with
poor law ractice-Lewiston Banner.

Dedication of Alaska Agricultural College
 and School of Mines

Speaking of the dedication of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, recently, the Nenana News says:
 The Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines was dedleated yester- day afternoon with imposing cere- monies and with about 500 residents Of FaiT banks and visitors in attendance A special train took large number to theI college, and many made theetrip in autos, about D cars being parked near sha' campus during the afternoon. The school children paraded from the school to the depot and took part in the exer- cises at the college. The parade was headed by the city band, and the line of march took the paraders past the re- viewing stand, occupied by Governor Scott c. Bone and other visitors.
 Upon arrival at the college the cere- monies were opened by President Mor- ton F. Stevens, of the board of regents, who explained the purpose of the gath ering briefly. He was followed by Rev. Fred c. Scherer, who offered prayer for'the success of the institution, and then came the flag raising, while the band played patriotic airs.
 Governor Scott C. Bone, who made the trip from Juneau to Fairbanks for the special purpose of participating in the dedicatory ceremonies, delivered the principal address of the afternoon. He said, in part, as follows:
 "The opening of this institution, the first Of higher learning and technical training in the Northland, is a potent. sign of the times. It speaks progress. It tells the world that Alaska is going ahead. It proclaims, in it's name, the fact that agriculture and mining are twin resources of thls rich domain. It gives denial to the popular fiction that Alaska is a forbidding, frozen upheaval of ice and snow. It emphasizes the real Alaska. It will be a helpful factor in service to Alaska.

closure of a letter addressed to the

Methodist church at Osceola.. The
letter was signed, "Osceola Klan No.

pose of aiding a distressed house

that one of the sons had died and
the aged mother was trying to

goods to secure money for a respect
able funeral, the family having
known much better days and being

The letter says in part: "Our

DEMOCRATS TO
WIN OUT BIG
SAYS LEADER
Special Correspondence of
Press-Soliphone Be-
lieves Victory is
Certain.

Especial Correspondent of The Daily
Pess and Weekly Soliphone)
Washington, Nov. with cleo
ton day almost at hand, the pros
poets of great Democratic victory
which were bright from the begin
ming of the campaign, have become
a certainty. The Republican reac-
tionary leaders in charge of the
party machine can't find any place
to park. The revolt begun by the
progressive Republican states has
spread to the rock-rubbed Repub-
lcan states, and the latter are now
also in revolt The only question
now is the extent of the Democratic
victory.
In the Presidents home state,
Ohio, the reactionary Republicans
will get one of the worst trimmings
of their career. Everything indi-
Gates the election of Senator POme-
rem by an emphatic majority. the
election of the state ticket and a
Democratic representation in the
next House that will be surprise
to the rest of the country, despite
the extraordinary efforts made by
the Republicans. who have filled
the state with their top-line speakers
and flooded it with money.
The manufacturing sections of
New England will help swell the
Democratic victory. The farm
states will return the same verdict
as the manufacturing states The
farmer has been truly described as
"gritting his teeth and biding his
time" In the great business CEN
ters, business men are turning to the
Democratic party for relief from the
odious Fordney tariff which threat
ems business conditions everywhere.
In fact, no element of the American
people is satisfied with the present
Republican Congress.
In almost every state the cam
paign has been fought out upon the
leading domestic issues of internal
and tariff taxation, at which the
people have arrived at an under
standing by sad experience as well
as educational propaganda; upon
extravagant expenditures and reck-
less appropriations, upon the inef-
ficiency and incompetence of the
existing Congress and the failure
of both the Congress and the admin
istration to keep their election prom
ises; upon Newberryism and Gold
steinism and the lesser scandals that
have disgraced the legislative and
administrative records Oh the party
in power.

1t is beginning to appear that
the Lone Star Highway through
Paragould and Greene county is
going to be an assured realization,
il present indications are pointing
accurately. Many persons who have
heretofore manifested little interest
in the subject or plans to the end
of bringing about construction of
the highway, are now taking warmly
to the proposal and are realizing
that this section cannot afford to
let slip the opportunity of procuring
the road. At least, that's the i'm
preston among those who are tax
ing the lead in promoting the en-
terprise.
The north end of the road through
Greene county, starting from the
city limits of Paragould and extend
ing to the Clay county line, has
been given preliminary survey
and the estimate Of the actual cost
of construction is being compiled
by the engineering department of
the State Highway Department at
Little Rock, The next step in the
matter of surveying will be to ex-
tend the preliminary service to the
south end of the road through the
country, joining the surveyed route
at the north terminal of the Craig
head county line.
1t is said Crajghead county pro-
moters of the Lone Star have already
completed their survey of the road
to the Greene county line, or are
in the process of that work, and are
anxious to know just where Greene
county wishes to connect up with
their survey. The Press and The
Soliphone have been requested to
make public the announcement that
the matter of surveying the south
end of the road through this county
must be done at once.
In order to further the work and
to bring about it's early accomplish
ment, all members of the Lone Star

form have been, paramounted, and
in some states the organization Re-
publicans have made an issue Of
fake progressiveism. particularly in
Pennsylvania and Indiana. In Iowa
a large element of conservative Re-
publicans are in revolt against the
extreme radicalism of Brookhart.
The Republicans opposing Pinchot
and Beveridge and Brookhart will
contribute their share to the gem
eral Democratic victory.
In the last extremity Republicans
of the stripe of Phil Campbell Of
Kansas, who has just been repudiat-
ed by the Republicans of his own
Congressional District, are seeking
to make it appear that the Demo-
Gratis are not trying to carry tho
House. This, of course, is pure
mendacity and one of the last ruses
of an already defeated Old Guard
organization.
The signs of Democratic victory
are everywhere apparent. The peo-
pie are disgusted with the Repub-
lican Do-Nothing Congress and dis
satisfied with the shiftless, drifting
course of the administration. They
will make that disgust and dissatis-
faction manifest at the polls on Nos
vember Z.
This is Democratic year.
