EDITORS ARE HUMAN

When a ticklish situation arises in town. it is quite the fashion to remark that the newspaper ought to say something sharp about that.
 The average citizen feels quite certain he could run a newspaper better than the editor, and if he were publishing that sheet. he'd show 'em. you can bet As a mat ter of fact, if he has horse sense, he would do just as the editor does put the soft pedal on family rows, church squabbles. and such matters of minor importance which will ad- just themselves as time goes on.
 Don't expect the long-suffering small town newspaper man to advo- cate or attack any proposition which you yourself lack the courage to support or attack over your own signature. The local paper is will ing to push any project in the pub lie interest, but it is not willing to pull chestnuts out of the fire for in- diyiduals or minorities.- Cape Vincent (N. Y.) Eagle.

 The party actually spent about thirty days under way, after taking out the number of days that were spent in sight seeing and forced lay overs on account of the weather Although the weather has not been particularly good, the party has en- joyed their trip thus far immensely and exposure to the spray and salt wind has given them a healthy ap- pearance that few are fortunate enough to obtain. Their quiet con- fdence in themselves is an excellent indication of the successful outcome of their trip. The voyage is to end al Skagway and from that point it is planned to journey on into the Interior The trip has been arduous and dangerous in places, but, who doesn't envy them their experiences and their courage and hardness in in attempting the voyage-Ketchi- kan Chronicle.

 Senate debate on the pending resolu. ton offered by Senator Robinson. minority leader, promises to be the most bitter witnessed In that chamber for many years.
 Denby. 250-pound. easy going, good natured giant, was snatched from ob- scurity as probation officer in De troit, and made Secretary of tho Navy by Harding. No one was moro sur prised than Denby when he wns selected. Harding had witnessed the criticism of Josephus Daniels, who was regarded as too much of . land luhber to make good naval secretary.
 He decided to pick q man who had smelt salt, who knew the problems of the navy, who was free from heavy political connections. He found that Denby had been gunner's mate dur. ing the Spanish American war and had been . member of the naval reserve for years. In the World war he volun. teered as private In the marine corps and was made c drill sergeant at Paris Island, S. O, rising later to the rank of major. He was schooled in navy traditions and ought therefore to bs good secretary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Mo Adoo, democrats are organized now for e hot fight for tke delegations in Mis- souri, Mississippi and Georgia. An nouncement is made at McAdoo head quarters here of the selection of state leaders for these contests. Charles C.

 in Missouri. It N s fighf between hfcAdou and Hsnet6r JnEaes A. Reed, who recently anisofinced his candidacy. MeAdoo Is supported by former Clover nor Gardner, Bfeckinridge Long, for iner Assistant Secretary of State. Na. tional Committeeman Goltra is under stood to be sympathetic. Reed. how ever. has a strong following in the ttaie and has repeatedly defeated the pro Wilson faction. This will be one of the hottest state fights that Me Adoo will have.
 In Mississippi. McAdoo Is pifted against Senator Oscar Underwood. Underwood has been invited to address the Mississippi legislature early in Fehrtierys Senator Pat Harrison has not publicly declared as between un- derwood and MeAdoo, but is generally believed to lean toward the latter.
 In Georgia, also the, main fight is between McAdoo and Underwood. al- though some of the friends of the late Senator Tom Watson are working for Senator Reed. McAdoo has some ad- vantage here due to the fact that he was born in the shadow of Kenesaw V mountain, near Atlanta and also from the fact that dry leaders who are pow erful in the state are opposing Under wood, because of his views on prohibit ton. Yet Georgia would like 10 see distinctive southern candidate, and this sentiment helps Underwood.
