NEW HAMPSHIRE MEN
IN RANKS OF GREAT
Writer Puts Franklin Pierce
at Head of List.


New Hampshire man, and held by him
as a resident Of New Hampshire, was
held by Franklin Pierce. 1t is some
thing for us to reflect upon that he Is
one of the few who have gained much
renown who gained it as citizens OF
the state, observes the Manchester
Union.
Daniel Webster would. Of course, be
held as our greatest man. and yet ne
won his fame In another state and 1t
was Massachusetts, not New Hamp-
shire, that sent him to Washington as
senator. Still, Massachusetts has
given him up to us just as it has given
up Calvin Coolidge to Vermont Web
ster's personal interests remained with
US, his love went to New Hampshire.
not to Massachusetts.
Franklin Pierce, who was President,
was also military man, possibly look
ing more like soldier than being one.
His military training was slight, yet
he was gallant in action and made a
very handsome appearance on horse
back, which had good deal to do
with his nomination. The South used
to decide who should be nominated by
the Democracy, and nomination by
that party then was nearly a guaran-
tee of election. The South liked New
Hampshire and liked the looks OF
Pierce. New Hampshire was the one
New England state that was popular
in the South and was the most popular
Northern state. Does anyone in the
South think Of New Hampshire now!
This liking by the South meant much
in the way Of political patronage for
us, we got things no other Northern
state could get.
Gen. Lewis Cass Of Michigan, who
was almost President, was easily the
most distinguished soldier who was
born In New Hampshire. But his ca
reer was made in the West. He re-
membered little Of New Hampshire.
the one thing that stood out In his
recollection being the fact that he was
held in his nurses arms to see Presi-
dent George Washington ride into
Exeter.
Gen. John A. Dix got fame more
from some ringing words in the first
doubtful days Of the Civil war than
for exploits in battle. He said a STIR
ring thing at a right time, pronOunc-
ing a slogan at a period when that
highland Scotch word was not used in
our country, IF any man starts to
haul down the American flag, shoot
him on the spot" People who have
autos stolen might well wish General
Dix were here and in charge Of that
problem 1t would cease to be prob
lem after two and half auto thieves
had been shot. Two auto thieves shot
to death and third one filled with
birdshot would stop auto stealing for
long time.
Salmon P. Chase was another of our
great men who developed elsewhere
OF late years. to somewhat make up
for the important men we have con-
tributed to other states, we have been
attracting men Of note. OF our con-
temporary leading men several came
to New Hampshire. It would be in
v;dious to try to catalogue the living.
t. mention those still with us. Ralph
u Pierce actually belonged to u.s.
Winston Churchill is well identified
with us and Mcdowell and Saint eau.

no real leaders yet. To all practical
purposes they are all in bunch.

worth your best efforts and the really
big ones are worth a great fight. Is
there any other way in which any of

MOONSHINE, WOMEN AND SONG ARE BLAMED FOR

SPOKANE, Dec. 2. (P)-John w. Bagley, of St. Paul, Minn., collector for the Great Northern Railway con- pany, pleaded guilty in superior court here today to a charge of mis- appropriating s451 company funds and was sentenced to term of two to 15 years in the state peni- tentiary.

NOEL W. SMITH
 MAKES REPORT
 ALASKARALWAY
WILL COST ELEVEN MILLIONS TO FINISH PROPERLY-DE-
 FICIT IS REDUCED
FREIGHT RECEIPTS ARE LESS
No Rapid Development of Alaska Is Looked for in Next Few Years,
 But Railroad Is Needed

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. (P)- The completion of the Alaskan rail- road will extend over period of years and will cost $11,S7S,7S1, so that it can be operated efficiently and eco- nomically. The above is recommended in the annual report of General Mana ger Noel w. Smith, of the Alaska rail- way. The report called attention to the cutting down of the annual oper- ating deficit by $4S9,901 during the fiscal year, figures for the previous year showing s1,246,674. The road hauled 53,OS6 tons of freight, a de- crease of 97 per cent over the year previous.
 Smith reported that while no rapid development of Alaska is looked for in the next few years, indications pointed to a gradual increase of traf- fic over the road. He said, however, that there was no prospect that the operation of the road can be continued for some years without substantial appropriations to meet the deficit.

SPECS WITH COLORED FRAMES TO MATCH THE
 DRESS LATEST THING

PARIS, Dec. 2. P)-Dame fash ions latest vagary has been to get all the women to wearing spectacles. The pretty eyes of the 1925 Parisi- enne are no weaker than those of 1924, but the celluloid frames of the eye glasses made in many varieties of colors are novel and chic when they match her dress.
 A Paris optician in the Rue Rivoi who advertises himself as an American optician," displays in his windows large try filled with eel luloid frames in mauve, green, beige, blue, rose and, in fact, almost any conceivable hue that might be re- quired to harmonize with madem- oiselle's suit or frock.
 T sell about 100 pairs of spec tacles with plain glasses through which any one can see, every day." said the optician. "The correct thing is to have the frames made in colors to match the dress"

AREAS FOR TIE
 CUTTING MARKED

Fourteen small tie contractors will operate this winter in cutting areas adjacent to the right of way on the Alaska Railroad, according to H. J. Lutz of the forest service, a recent visitor in Seward. These camps will be located at intervals between Seward and Indian station, or Mile SS. The ties will be hauled out by dog teams, horse and tractors, de- pending on the distance they are taken. Contracts average from 1,2OO to 12,OOO each and aggregate 50,- 900 ties to be cut by spring.

ATTENDANCE AT POST SERVICES
 IS ON INCREASE

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 2 P)- Under the law of averages figures on church attendance at army posts dur ing the last fiscal year would indicate "that every member of the military personnel attended church on an army post at least thirteen times during the year." Col. John T. Axton, chief of chaplains, said in his report today
 The total attendance at post serv- ice for the year was 1,SSO,027 or 55O- 554 in excess of that for the preceding year, and new high mark for the army. The strength of the army and the number of chaplains available re- mained unchanged for the two years, Col Axton commented.
 Judging from his own visits to about half the army posts in the Uni ted States during the fiscal year, Col. Axton attributed the growing interest in religious matters ito the deep per sonal concern of the officers in safe guarding the moral and spiritual life of all members of their garrisons."
 He recommends an appeal to Con- gross for funds to permit four or five post chapels to be constructed each year" adapted to forms of worship of the major divisions of the church.

CONGRESS URGED STUDY ALASKAN
 AFFAIRSFAIR

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 1 (P)- Secretary Work in his annual report urged Congress to make "a prompt and sympathetic study of Alaska and it's natural resources and methods of gov ernment, and whether governmental control should be constructive in type or continue to cultivate dependency, or be removed entirely"
 He said the suggestion that the gov ernment should merge it's activities in Alaska in one department should have immediate consideration by Con- gress.
 Secretary Work also suggested that funds for additional physicians, nurses and hospitals to be erected in cen- tral region, should be appropriated. He urged shallow draft motor boat for small hospital clinic in inland waters, and declared that to abandon the Alaska railroad, despite the loss in maintenance would be a reversion of the American policy of progress.
 He pronounced the use of the rail- road right-of-way as highway to be impractical because of weather con- ditions, and added, "the cost of trans portation can be eliminated by home production and consumption.
 He called Alaska a territory rapidly becoming "a lost province" where bu. reaucrats made hesitant by limited authority" curtailed expansion.
