Hoover and Smith.
(Tacoma News-Tribune.)


 Tuesdays primaries in Ohio gave Herbert Hoover majority of the 51 delegates from that State. The count of the ballots in the prefer ential primary still incomplete today, put dispatches indicated that the Commerce Secretary would get the pledged support of a majority of the delegation of the State of the late Senator Willis.
 Massachusetts also showed strong Hoover tendency and his managers hope to secure more than a score of the Massachusetts delegation. Yesterdays primaries added materially to Hooy- er's strength, and he will enter the Kansas City convention with a pledged support considerably ahead of other candidates
 Whether he can secure enough to win the coveted nomination is still moot question. Eastern political leaders and influential chiefs in the Middle West are strongly opposed to Hoov- to block his nomination, repeating the perform ance of 1920 when dark horse candidate won the nomination.
 The candidacy of Gov. Al Smith of New York appeared several steps the Demo- cratic nomination the result of yesterday s votes. In the preferential voting in Ohio he ran far ahead Massachusetts will probably send a solid delegation to Houston for him. Pennsyl- vania results indicate that he will have sub stantial majority of the delegates from that State. This would put his total vote at the present time well over hi high water mark of 36S at the New York convention in 1924
 From every indication the New York Gov ernor is marching straight to the nomination. If he secures it. and there is every indication at the present time that he will he will be a most formidable candidate. Unless the Kansas City convention nominates man like Herbert Hoover, whose name is a household word and whose prestige is international, the result will be in doubt right up to the moment that the votes are counted. Make mistake about that.

REFRESHING PROMISE.

The promise of the Admiralty Island Coal Company to have good coal on the market in Juneau within a comparatively short time is refreshing It indicates that money that here tofore has been sent out of Alaska for fuel may be used for paying labor and for supplies pur- chased from local houses The money would re- main in Alaska to work again in developing re- sources and as a force in the channels of trade. It would help to increase the population of the Territory.
 coal mine that would produce enough to supply the local market would be a valued addi- tion to Juneau's industries. But a mine would not stop at that point. If the Harkrader property reaches a point where it will supply the local market it will grow and it's product will go out to other markets. Therefore, the money paid for fuel in Juneau will serve to develop an industry that will bring large sums of money in from the outside to be spent here for labor and sup plies and increase the population and the volume of trade.
 The announcements that have come from MT Donaldson MT. Lerch and MT Jones of the progress of the Harkrader coal mine among the glowing signs that promise us better day coming for this section of Alaska.

GOV. SMITH AND THE SOUTH.

The South will not find itself at Houston, in the position that it has often been in, where it may choose between a conservative East and a radical West It will find there united con servatiyely progressive East and West practically a unit behind the Presidential candidacy of Gov, Smith. The question is whether not the South will flock alone, it did in the cam paign of 1860, or whether it will join the, East and West and give united Democracy such as we have not had in fullest measure since the glorious days of Grover Cleveland.
 Two things in the South counting heavily for Gov Smith. One is that he offers the only chance in sight for Democratic victory The other is that he possesses the qualities of leader ship and statesmanshp that will make the Demo- cratic Party National political organization in the sense that it will appeal to the liberal or democratic thought of all sections of the country.
 Also counting his side is the great prin- ciple of State Rights that natural heritage to the Democratic Party from the Vr- ginia leadership of the early days of the Nation while against him un-democratic intolerance, stff-necked pride and dogmatic prejudices In such circumstances it is not difficult to believe the reports that from Dixie that large majority of the educated and thinking people there favor the nomination of Gov. Smith and the complete reunion of the Democratic Party

The Great Crime.
est. Louis Post-Dispatch. )

At time when the country is laying itself out to punish bribery in high places and nobody has yet gone to jail for this crime, it may be interesting to learn from the National Confer ence for the Reduction of Crime recently in session at Washington what the country really takes seriously in the category of evil-dong
 It that what has most aroused us as people, if we may judge by the new laws devised to stop it, is not bribery in either high places or low, but chicken stealing There is something that is something, crime of such diabolical reconciliation and of such unuues- toned injury to society that it enjoys the right eous detestation of everybody. In Idaho for instance, there is law prohibiting the pur- chase of poultry between sunset and sunrise without notifying the Sheriff. Seven States in all have within the last year. increased the pen alty for chicken stealing
 After all, the people who corrupted the Gov ernment have not stolen any chickens. We defy any one to say that the country is lost

THE PACIFIC WILL LEAD.

That the commercial and population center of the world in the course of time will be the American Pacific Coast is the belief of Robert Dollar, the big ship owner. He said, further, that the intelligence used and the intensity with deciding factors in the time element involved in that consummation. He said the commercial de- velopment on the Pacific will demand a popula- ton of fifty millions of people in California alone. Of California could reach no such pro- portions those indicated without great develop ment of commerce, industry and population in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska.
 Capt Dollar bases his predictions on the great potentiaities of the orent He says:
 China is the greatest potential mar
 ket in the world. California and the
 Westen States through their geograph-
 cal location will logically monopolize
 this trade. The surface has been scratch
 ed just deep enough to uncover this
 gold mine of commerce.
 When the local disturbances in
 China are settled, and they will be- the
 door will be open to consuming pub

 market that will never reach the
 saturation point China though the
 greatest potential market, nevertheless
 is only one of the countries where
 our markets be expanded. The
 worlds financial, commercial and popu-
 lation center is increasingly moving
 westward. All of these will be located
 eventually in our Western Empire, and
 California is the key community of this
 group of States. When the fifty million have come to California as future com

More or Less True

More or Less True Nothing makes busy bee look lazier than the jaws of a girl who is chewing gum and talking at the same time.
 No one sits in sack cloth and ashes any more, but some women still wear shoes that are too tight and some men still wear derby hats.
 An optimist is a grass widow who lets her name get on a sec ond marriage license because she is convinced her first husband was the worst man in the world.
 The surest way for man to save himself a shock and big disappointment is to look at her face before he starts in admiring her shapely calves.
 The ideal marriage would be one where the husband and wife so enjoyed doing things together that he even wouldn't be happy if she DIDN'T help him tell his jokes.
 It is getting so a lot of girls think if a young man doesn't kiss them two minutes after meeting them he must have halitosis or else he has escaped from his keeper.
 Girls don't want a powder that will keep the shine off the nose with just one application in the morning any more than they want dance that will last them six months.
