ST. LOUIS SHOE NEWS

Brown Shoe Company, operating fif-
teen shoe factories in st. Louis and
vicinity, report a net gain in shipments
Of over $4,000 for the month of
April. This large increase is attributed
to the wonderful values in 100 per
cent leather staple and fancy footwear
styles in which this company has gained
an unusual reputation.
Their plants manufacturing Brown
bllt shoes for men and for women, and
Buster Brown" shoes for boys and for
girls, have been unusually busy. One
large plant has been devoted entirely to
the manufacture of their celebrated
kN1CKER Sandal, which seems to be
the most popular Spring style.

Parties Baffled By Apathy,
Begin To Court Flappers
Vote In Many State Primaries Less Than Half
That Cast In 1920

former Senator Frelinghuysen to be
.deiegates-at-large to the Cleveland con-
vention. Yet with this, added attrac-
ton, Coolidge and johnson together
brought out only 125,000 votes in the
preferential primary, whereas Gil 900
votes were cast for Harding in Novem-
Der, 1920. The democratic presidential
preference vote totalfed $4,000 against
the 25S,000 votes cast for Cox four
years ago.
Despite the hot factional fight in
Illinois between Mccormick and De
neen over the senatorial nomination, the
combined vote for Coolidge and john
son was about half OF, that cast for
Harding in 1920. The democratic sena-
torial fight resulted in $4,000 primary
votes whereas Cox received 534, 900 in
the regular election four years ago.
In Ohio. Harding received 1,182,000
votes in 1920, but the combined Coolidge
johnson vote there few days ago was
just 100000 less.
Same With Democrats
These results are being yariously in
terpreted and of course the democrats
seek to- make it appear that Coolidg
is not receiving the hearty support Of
republican voters. However, that may
be, the democratic primaries reveal
about the same degree of apathy on
the whole.
One interesting activity that already
has appeared as a result of this con-
dition, is the rivalry for the girl first
voters. The, democrats are organizing
girl first voters clubs and the repub-
licans are expanding their young mems
college clubs to include women. This
is the first presidential election in
which the. political managers have
thought it worth while to court the
fiapper vote.

As regards submarines, Secretary

Let the Editors Talk It Over

The Washington Journalistic AsSo- ciation holds an annual convention which is attended by practically every editor in the state. The meetings are of great benefit, especially to the small town and country editor, wlo returns home refreshed and brimful of new ideas. We have for long time cherish a dream that the editors of Alaska might some day hold convention.
 If the idea meets with the approval of our brethern of the press, we shall at once dig up the family savings bank which we relegated to the scrap heap when we assumed the editorial chair, and all that remains of our monthly income after the butcher and baker have been paid will be hoarded into the convention fund With luck, we will no doubt be able to attend, if the con VtnllCn lSn aeld before l90O.

A campaign 10 educate Alaskans on all of Alaska by means of the Territorial papers ought to be arranged.
 But by far the greatest good would be to the editors themselves. What a glorious feeling to mingle with those who know that editors are but human, that they "eat the same food, wear the same clothes, are wet by the same rain warmed by the same sun and moved by he same emotions" as other folks. We
