NEW YORK, N. Y, May IA
queer phenomenon has taken place in
national politics. A Republican
state primary election may seriously
affect the national Democratic cleo
tion to be held in this city in June.
For some time Governor Alfred E.
Smith of New York state, exponent
Of the liquor interests, has been run
ming strong in his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for president.
It is generally conceded that Will
lam G. McAdoo has the strongest
hold on the delegates to the Demo
cratic convention. To win over Nc
Adoo, Smith will necessarily have to
swing behind him the Indiana and
Ohio delegates. Indiana has 80 dele
gates and Ohio As.
However, the result of the Indiana
state primary election has changed
things. In short, Indiana has gone
Ku Klux. Edward Jackson, Republic
can, secretary of state, was nominal
ed for the governorship by a major
ity over the other FIVE candidates in
the field put together. He defeated
Lew Shank, mayor of Indianapolis,
] ratio.
And the Democratic party Of Indi-
ana is as much in the hands of the
Khan as the Republican. Conse-
quently, being politician, Thomas
Taggert, Indiana Democratic boss,
will not attempt to stem the storm
by going for Smith in the national
convention, who is bitterly opposed
by all Protestant Americans. To do
30 would seriously hamper the fomr-
ing of his state tickets.
Democratic leaders here concede
that the Indiana election is blow
to the Smith boom and may result
fatally. The reason is that Ohio is
Just as strong Khan state as Indi-
ana, and consequently Smith can ex-
pect little support from that delega-
tion.

Writes From Alaska

Inc following letter was re-
lceived by Mrs L. A. Dudley from
her sister. Mrs. Silvia Fristoe of
Nenana, Alaska, and is dated May
III:
Spring is here at last although
we had a snow storm yesterday.
I've seen several robins and a blue
bird; it was so good to hear them
sing. Have seen two or three
blades Of grass but the river is full
of ice. 1t looks to me as if it was
frozen clear to the bottom. Men
are working on the boats getting
them ready for business. The rail
road men here have asked for an
increase in wages, if they do not
get it, will strike. That will make
it bad for the tourists. There are
some new men at the head Of road
and | understand they are having
awful trouble. My two little
grandchildren, Sylvia and James,
write me some beautiful letters
about their studies, James having
one star ahead of Sylvia.
They have a school here of only
rs pupils. the principal receives
$3.50 per month, the assistant gets
.$175. Wish | was once more
teaching.
/ must tell you about the awful
fire we had here a week ago. The
Town hall and an undertaking es-
adjustment were burned down; the
valuation Of the property was $40,-
600. We were very much alarm
ed for the wind was fierce and
strong and very little fire protec-
ton. 1t was showing hard at the
time too.
SO many were betting on the ice
in the river, when it would go out. .
One girl in the telephone office
made a bet, received $500. There
were others betting but I do not
know the sums received, but in all
there was some $4,000 taken up in
bets:
/ am sending you picture card
Of the aeroplane that carries the
mail from Fairbanks to McGrath.
1t takes the mail in the morning
and returns in the afternoon, a dis
lance of 400 miles. The old way
was by dog team, 3 weeks to go one
way, and of course the same to re-
turn.
Fairbanks is 60 miles from us.

THE JUMBO IDEA

A man can get too big for his
breeches. He can also bite off
more than he can chew. His eyes
can be bigger than his belly. 1t
IL particularly easy to do it, be-
lieying that the bigger a thing is
the better. Fifty years ago Henri
Siegel had pretty good dry goods
business at Peoria, Ill. He and his
partner, Cooper, got the depart
ment store idea and tried it on
Chicago. 1t was a whizz. Siegel was
a pretty good fellow, but he hat
the jumbo obsession. He wasn't sa-
tisfied with one department store,
He strung a chain of them across
the country. He also estab
lished a bank. He spread out. He
had several residences, one in
London. His was wonderful cor
ganization," Well, organizations"
aren't automatic. People think so.
But they arn't. No organization is
bigger han the little wad of brain
behind it. When it gets bigger
than the brain, the Organization"
stops stock still, just like grand
pas clock which was too tall for
the shelf. siegels organization"
got too big for him. Today he is

New Jersey and living in a flat

SINGING TOGETHER

America hasn't forgotten the
value of singing together one Of
the worth while things we learned
during the war. At the Republic
can convention after the demon
stra&ion which greeted the nomin-
alton of President Coolidge, the
assemblage turned to song for re
lief from it's feverish political en-
thusiasm. The great organ sound
ed the strains of the Battle Hymn
of the Republic and instantly the
audience took up the words. r.
resistibly the singers On to Mary
land, My Maryland, Onward Chris
tian Soldiers and other familiar
songs. 1t was one of the most
pleasing and inspiring moments of
the convention.
In America, where public meet
ings are more common than in any
other country, we shall do well
to cultivate this habit Of singing
together. Ten minutes of singing,
interspersed somewhat in the pro-
gram, is worth an hours recrea-
ton. But to get the full benefit we
shall have to learn the words of
more of our fayorite songs Mil

fveness of both nations against rum
runners and smugglers Of arco-
tics.
Long ago these two nations took
advanced ground in international
affairs by deciding that there
should be no men of war on the
Great Lakes and no fortification on
the boundary. That long, thin line
has proved a greater power for
peace-unprotected- than it would
have been with frowning gun OPP
posing frowning gun. For it has
drawn the hearts of the two PEG,
pies together.
Now Canada and the United
States say in effect that the boun-
dairy shall be used more by those
who grow rich in illegal traffic
just because there happens to be
a dividing line. Each nation will
furnish to the other information on
the other the shipment Of arti-
cles and information on the names
and activities of those engaged in
the violation CT law. That strikes
at the crux of the problem, for
most of this smuggling is done by
organized rings that can be run
to earth when there is co-opera,
ton. And, equally important, the
treaty provides for bringing these
men to justice by stating that gov
eminent officials Of one nation
may attend court in the other as
witness.
