Immediate Issues.
The issues of the present mayoral-
ity campaign are scientifically analyz-
ed in a Marxist-Leninist manner A
confused perspective on the vitalness
of immediate demands as an approach
to the masses was thoroly cleared up.
In the enthusiastic general discussion
on this important phase of party &C
tivity, It was clearly demonstrated
that we must enter into the struggle
with the workers for these demands.
1t is only in the struggle for the most
Elementary needs that the workers
Twill come to understand that they are
lnot attainable under capitalism. The
Russian workers and farmers in de.
manding peace, bread, and land" soon
realized that in order to achieve their
most pressing needs, the car and the
capitalist system of Russia would
have to go, and workers and farm
ers' government created, instead.
In the discussion on immediate de-
mands great many other important
questions were touched upon, which
will be discussed next week.

the purpose of getting liquor for medicinal use but in order to be able to get pure alcohol Gas a pre- servative." He admitted that there was a good deal of doubt among Doctors as to whether alcohol had any value as a medicine.
 On the second day of the hearing MT. Shoup, the District Attorney for the First Division, appeared and said that no Court would recognize the power of the Legislature to repeal the law.
 Attorney General John Rustgard also said that the Legislature had no power to repeal the law, and re- viewing the evidence given the day before, said that in reference to the answers of Dr. Borland as to the value of alcohol as a medicine, that for several years alcohol was rot on the list as having value as a medicine.
 pr. De Vighne had been asked to appear by MT. Hardy and had been in the rear end of the room, but when he heard Attorney General Rustgard speaking about the ques- tions that had been asked Dr. Bor- land as to the value of alcohol as medicine, he quietly left the hall, so when MT. Hardy, Director Gen. eral of the Booze Forces, asked for him a few minutes late, he had gone.
 On the final vote the Bill was de- feated by a vote of ten to six, as follows: 1eas-Grier, Hardy, Moody, Murray, Sheldon and Wilcox. Nays Elliot, Ferguson, Grant, Jensen, Nylen, Paul, Ross, Sherman, Sund- Quist and Watson.
 In spite of the fact that the Leg islature had been informed that they had no power to repeal that Act of Congress, MT. Hardy then introduced Bill to submit the question to the voters at the next election. This Bill was defeated by vote of eight to eight as follows: Yeas Elliot, Grier, Hardy, Moody, Murray, Sheldon, Watson and Wilcox. Nays Ferguson, Grant, Jensen, Nylen, Paul, Ross, Sherman and Sundquist.
 The introduction of these Bills was for no other purpose than to make an issue at the next cleo tion, an issue on a question over

THE REPEAL OF THE ALASKA BONE DRY LAW
By H. H. ROSS

o. Hardy, the Democratic member from the First Division, produced one of the most amusing incidents of the Session.
 It was amusing for the presump- tion that the Legislature could dl- rently repeal an Act of Congress made after the creation of the Leg islature and for the Fiasco that the public hearing produced in the at tempt to secure it's passage.
 Hearings were held by the Com mittee of the Whole House on two days at which several witnesses ap- peared. First MT. Faulkner who ad- mitted he was a lawyer, who thought the law should be repealed because at present, he said, man might be arrested for bootlegging, could not tell under which law he might be prosecuted. This made it too hard on the bootlegger. AS for the power of the Legislature to repeal the law, altho there was some doubt, still he thought they could, but he had not studied the question. Any way the law ought to be repealed so Doctors would prescribe liquor in case of sickness.
 The next witness, MT. Tom Mar quam, also a lawyer, had about the same story as to the power of the Legislature to repeal the law and was even more emphatic in his be- lief that it did not give far shake to the bootlegger, also he knew a case where they had looked all over town for some good liquor for man who was dying.
 The next witness was MT. Emery Valentine who wanted the law re- pealed but from his evidence it did not appear that it was necessary to repeal it in order to get plenty of liquor for people in case of sick ness.
 Dr. Borland appeared and told how he had given Prohibition Direc- tor A. c. Means some whiskey when he was very low with pneumonia and "he recovered and is now we'll man." The manner in which the Doctor said this has left some doubt in the minds of the hearers as to his meaning. They do not know whether he meant to convey the impression that it was the Whis- key that saved his life or to eX- press astonishment at his recovery. When questioned by Representative Ross as to the therapeutic (healing) value of alcohol, he admitted that Doctors had had questionnaire sent out and that only half of them had claimed that it had any value as medicine, but he was not so inter ested in having the law repealed for

Indictment Of Senator Burton

on charges Of conspiracy to de.
fraud the Government in obtain

Justice Bailey sustained Seha.

Indictment, which charged the
Senator jointly with Gordon
Campbell, Montana oil operator
and Edwin Booth, formerly solici-
tor Of the Interior Department,
with conspiring to obtain permits

The court held that the indict,

the laws of the United States and
is therefore bad.
Justice Bailey also held that the
land act does not limit the number
of permits to be issued to any one
prospector and that the Secretary
of the Interior cannot by his reg

deny to applicants rights given
them by the statute.

breakfast with papa in her sit
ting room. Then she would give
the orders for the days meals to
William Bishop. the butler. These
orders specified the kind of food
that was to be served and also
the manner in which it was to
be prepared. In fact. she fur
nished a menu for every day.
These duties over, she would don
a sport costume, usually Of heavy
wool. worsted stockings and a
felt hat. She would repair to be
markets personally to purchase
the food that she had decided
upon.
Golf Enthusiast.
A golf enthusiast, she would
next go to the links and play at
least eighteen holes. This she
did every day while at Georgian
Court up to the time that heavy
SHOWS prevented. For luncheon
she put aside her heavy sport
costume and donned a knitted
silk dress or a light flannel suit
with q tam o. shanter.
After lunch she would go over
the house to be sure things
were in their proper state. The
bane of her life was to see fine
pictures hanging askew. and she
herself would go to the wall to
straighten frames. At 4 or 5
she would change to a tea gown
of a light material and lie down
until it was time to dress for
dinner.
Dressing Real Ceremonial.
This was the real ceremonial
of the day. Dressing for dinner
received as much care and at
tention as the framing of dip
plomatic note would in a chan
cellory. Mamma was assisted by
Margaret, her personal maid, and
Madame Jourdain, her chic
French companion. Even Miss
Cortis, generalissimo of the army
OF governesses, as I have called
her, was often called in to adj
wise and criticize. Mamma took

use Of face powder to protect her
while golfing or motoring in the
sun.

Art Jury.
The designing and selection Of
clothing for my mother was in
itself no light task. She made
up her mind fully as to what she
wanted before she made a pur-
chase. In this country all Of her
gowns were made by a certain
dressmaking establishment in
West F'ifty-seventh street. This
place had and still has the repu-
tation Of being the acme Of
fashion and every woman who
can possibly afford it buys one
or two dresses there. 1t offers
the quintessence of the Paris
modes, selected with a fine eye
to American tastes.

it. The stains may be soaked in

as the milk becomes discolored
