SOUTHERN CHURCHMEN OBJECT TO
WHEELER'S POLITICAL VIEWS in.
NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAMP AICN

WASHINGTON, July 20 lP-Re-
cent expressions BY Wayne B. Whel-
er touching on the course southern
democrats might pursue in the event
of the nomination of Flfred E. Smith
for president, were described today
by Bishop James Cannon, JrS and
DR. Arthur j. Barton, both officials
of the Anti-Saloon league, as Mr..
Wheeler's own views a sa league Of
ficial, and not a declaration of the
league itself.
Declaring they were constrained
to record publicly their disagreement
w:El Mr. Wheelcr's views on the
specific expressions involved the two
league officials said there was "aDso.
lutte unity Of purpose among us ON
the present great objective Uf The
Anti-Saloon league Of America"
They added, however, in their ca
pacity as representatives of their
church temperance denominations,
that in their Judgment CRY southern
democrats would never agree to the
nomination of any wet candidate,
mentioning specifically Smith, Reed
and Ritclie A note at the end OF
the statement said Mr. Wheeler had
requested that 1--WE Gisclaim for him
the construction placed by the press
upon his statement"
The statement of Bishop Cannon
and DR. Barton follows;
Some days ago DR.. Wayne B.
Wheeler issued q statement toe the
press from which we quote:
There will be at least one of the
national dominant parties which ~>it
have satisfactory candidate for
the maintenance and enforcement of
the eighteenth amendment. There
is possibility that both will be
satisfactory. Then the league keeps
hands Off If Governor Smith is
nominated, and the drys in the south
would rather vote for an independ-
ent dry candidate for president, than
for dry republican, this would give
them a chance to register their pro-
tect.'
From the wording of the state
ment, the secular press generally,
certainly in the south, has very nat
urally considered this to be an au-,
thoritative declaration of the Anti
Saloon league of America. But this
is not the case This not an Of
ficial declaration by the Anti Saloon
League of America. 1t is simply the
expression of the opinion of DR..
Wheeler. one official of the league
Therefore, as dry southern demo-
cratic officials Of the league for very
many years, we have decided that
it is right and necessary, in order
that there may be no further mis-
understanding, that the southern
press and people at least shall know
that we do not join in this state
ment by DIR. Wheeler, as to certain
political contingencies, which state
ment We would amphasize is not an
official declaration of the Anti
Saloon League of America.
1--WE do not think it accurate, ap-
propriate or helpful for any league
official to declare that one party Gin

Marie. who held him in her arms

his last words-"I feel no pain"
For many months Ferdinand had,
been in failing health. Renowned
physicians of France, Belgium and
Germany after attending him last
December expressed the opinion that
he might live one month or six. He
survived nearly seven months. Pneu-
monia contracted in the high alti-
tudes of Sinaia, in the Carpathian
mountains, where he was transferred
recently, fastened his end.
But the kings illness really dates
back several years and the actual
cause of his death was cancer. Even
when Queen Marie was on her mem
orable visit to the United States, the
king suffered intensely and two op-
erations were performed, followed by
radium treatment. All this merely
served to stay the progress of the
disease for a time, and Ferdinand
wasted away until he was mere
shadow of himself, unable to take
proper nouriShment and incapable
! of carrying out the duties of state
in the way he fondly desired, though
he eXerted himself to the utmost

buildings and strategical points are
occupied by soldiers, and the gov
ernment is resolved that the decree
of January 4, 1926, expelling Carol
and instituting a regency in the
event of Ferdinands death, must be
fulfilled. The present government
is unalterably opposed to the return
of Carol to Rumanian soil, even to
attend the funeral of his father.
The body of the king will be laid
at rest in the mausoleum at Curtea

Queen Elizabeth rest. Until Satur-

In Bucharest all is quiet and the
death of the king is genuinely and
profoundly mourned. All social fun
ctions have been cancelled and the
representatives of the diplomatic
corps have rendered their sympathy.
The party which year ago was
willing to support Prince Carol in
reaching for the throne, appears to
have dispersed, and the government
has the situation well in hand. NO
symptoms of trouble are reported
from any district, and the regency
seems to have started auspiciously On

BUSTED BUBBLE

On another column the General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Line gives clear cut reasons for not giving better boat service to Petersburg. The closing paragraph ot the letter from the General Man ager of the Company reminds us of the efforts to get the Yukon to stop at this port. One business man ordered 20 tons of freight to come on that boat. A committee was gathered together to call on the Captain, purser and freight clerk. They should have included the engineers, firemen, mates, deck hands, Quartermasters and the en- tire stewards department. The Yu-. kon did not call again.

SEEMING EXPERIMENT FAILS; REGULATION GEAR INSTALLED

, The new Prince Rupert halibul boat, Helen II, returned to port re- gently, her attempt at seining for halibut having proven unsuccess- full.
 The vessel tried the scheme out for about a week On the Hecate Sraits grounds but the results were un. satisfactory, little if any of the de- sired fish being taken. On return ing to port, a gurdy and long lin ing gear were installed on the Helen II and she returned to the banks to operate in the conven- tional and approved manner. She has a crew of six men aboard. Capt. Hovmuller is reported to have some hope yet for this pet scheme of his and he may give it another try-out in the fall It was with consider able expense that he installed the seining gear on the Helen I.-Can- adian Fisherman.

CHANGE OF SCHOOLING VALUED

An example of the realization on the part of the natives of Alaska of the value of education is embodied in a recent report from the field, stated recently by the U. s. Bureau of Education.
 Two native girls from the village |of Koyuk, at the head of Norton Sound, it is stated, had been sent to a government school in a neigh boring village for three years. When they returned to Koyuk, they found that thenatives had built a small log house during their absence to be used as a school house.
 These sixteen-year-old girls, who were only in the third grade, took charge of the teaching. According to the report, they had 30 pupils, children and adults, none of whom could read or write. The girls held the school for eight months without pay.
 A United States Public School Is to be established in this village during the present summer.

EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL
 OPPORTUNITY

Equality of opportunity in the educational system in this country is not afforded the mass of the children, especially the large group that finds it necessary to leave school for economic reasons before completing the entire course.
 Out of every hundred children entering the first elementary grades, sixty-three reach the eighth grade and only thirteen of the or iginal graduate from high school.
 Seven of the original number enter. college and 2.3 really gradu- ate from college. This is declared to be 6.8. per cent of those entering high school, and 32.2 per cent of those entering college.
 Yet the major objective of the elementary grades has been to meet the entrance demands to high school, and that of the high schools to meet the entrance demands to colleges and universities.
 An educational system which pro- vides the same course of study and the same objectives for a group of 100 children, of which 2.3 car ry through to the end is unfair to the other 97.7 pupils.

STATE INDIANS MAKE PLEA

Pleas for good citizenship, coop eration and organization among the Indians of the Northwest, mingled with criticisms of the federal gov ernment and of white Americans for failing in their duties to the In dians, were heard at the annual convention of the Northwestern Fed eration of American Indians in Bel lingham.
 The Indian speakers, Jerry Kan om of Tolt, George Charley of the Columbia River and Paul Wapato of Spokane, president of the North west Indian Congress, agreed that their people cannot hope to achieve their ambitions or secure all their rights without organization. MT. Wapato described as a sad com mentary on the commonwealth the refusal of Ferndale and other school districts of Washington to admit Indian children to their schools. He charged unjust discrimination. Pleading for a common ground of understanding, he declared that the government schools are doing their part to establish such a basis of un- rstanding.-THE TIMES.
 The plea of Wapoto and others here reported have a strangely familiar sound. With the case of Sing vs Sitka School Board in the offing, settlement of this question may be settled for all time for In- 0ians in Washington as we'll as in Alaska.

During the World War a young Norwegian was drafted into service. Being a bright and capable young fellow he was soon marked for pro- motion. When his name was brot before the Commandant of the ves- sel, statement das made, What, promote that 'Swede?" The pro- motion was not forthcoming but it left a bitter rancor in the mind and heart of this fellow.
 But when it came to being gum fodder the lines were not drawn in the front ranks so that Chinee, Ne gro, English, French, Italian and what not stood where they stopped bullets to make the world "safe for democracy"
 The war has passed almost ten years. The world has been made safe CD for democracy and those who helped stop enemy bullets are back to the old racial enmities, ami mosities and hatreds.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygcia, the Health Magazine

1 Of all the persons suffering from chronic illness, the tuberculous are most constantly solicited by one or another form of quackery
 The desire Of members Of the family or of neighbors to believe that the patient has not tuberculosis but ! only bronchitis or a bad cold or something of that nature is likely to | cause them to suggest all sorts of temporary remedies that are usually worthless.
 Invariably there are persons who have heard of patients who have re- covered in a day or two by some remarkable method. notwithstanding the fact that scientific evidence does not provide a single case of imme- diate recovery of patient with tuberculosis.
 In neighborhood clubs and churches appear representatives of all sorts of peculiar dietary leagues and faith healing founda- tions that are willing to have their measures tested for a price.
 If there is one condition above all others in which the patient cannot afford to temporize with quackery and trifling methods of healing it Is tuberculosis. Such a patient has one certain method of benefit: namely. proper rest, proper diet, proper amounts of sunlight and outdoor air, proper exercise, and properly administered remedies carefully con- trolled by repeated examinations and by constant investigation of the condition.
 Many of the forms Of treatment that come out of a bottle contain drugs that are dangerous to the tuberculous, because they speed up the mctabolism or place undue stress upon the patients organs. Other methods are dangerous because they seem to arouse exceptional virulence in bacteria that are apparently be- ing handled 10 a certain extent by the patients own immunity.
 Secret methods of treatment are inevitably dangerous, because it Is important for both the patient and his physician to know what actually goes into the patients body. The American Medical association main tains bureau of investigation which will reply to any inquirer re- garding the merits of supposed cures for tuberculosis, whether medical, electrical, mental, or physical.
 The National Tuberculosis As sociation in New York city also maintains a bureau for replying 10 the tuberculous regarding the pro-

 Old Mother Nature. Cubby had been properly scolded and spanked. He was still whim- pering, but 1t was a very different kind of whimpering from that of only a short time before. He was whimpering now as much from joy as anything else, whereas before he had been whimpering from fright, pure and simple. Cubby would have been perfectly willing to take an other spanking so long as Mother Bear didn't send him away from her. But he didn't like to see his little sister grinning at him from a safe distance, And she was grinning That hurt more than the spanking She tossed her head as if 10 say Tt serves you right and Pm glad of it." That wouldn't have been quite so bad had not Cubby known right down in his heart that it did serve him right. For if he had not gone wandering off by himself he wouldn't have been lost. He wouldn't have met Buster Bear and he wouldn't have had that terrible fright. But alls well that ends well. they say, and now Cubby was back with Mother Bear and his twin sister.
 Mother Bear stood for several minutes quite motionless, looking off through the Green Forest. It was as if she were trying to make up her mind about something. Finally she swung her head toward her two little bears. Follow me- said she. T think there is going to he more snow and it is time for us 10 go to bed for the winter"
 What do you mean by going 10 bed for the winter?' inquired Cub by. as he made little footprints in the snow behind Mother Bears big footprints.
 "Exac.ly what I say" replied his mother.
 When will we get up again 9" asked Cubby.
 When spring comes." replied Mother Bear.
 When will spring come?" Cubby asked.
 When winter goes,' replied Mother Bear.
 When will winter go?" asked Cubby.
 When 1t is time for spring 10 come" replied Mother Bear.
 Will 1t be a long time?" in Quired Cubby.
 About three months.' replied Mother Bear,
 What is month"; asked Cubby.
 Mother Bear turned and looked very hard at Cubhy, but he appeared so innocent that she decided h. was just seeking knowledge. "A month is long time" replied Mother Bear
 How long?' asked Cuhhy.
New Britain herald., 1927-11-30

Before Mother Bear could answer this Cubby's twin sister spoke up. Wont it be funny not to eat in all that time?" she said.
 Cubby stared at her What do you mean by not eating?" he de- manded.
 Why. we'll sleep all that time and not eat at all replied his sister.
 How do you ~know We will? 2" grumbled Cubby.
 Mother told me so,' replied his sister.
 T don't believe it," said Cubby. Then, as hr saw his sister hurry forward as if 10 tell Mother Bear what he had said, he hastily cor rected himself. "I mean,' said he, T don't understand it and 1 don't like the idea of it. 1 would much rather eat than sleep"
