Toll At Tchula

Tchula witnessed terrible crossing
crash Saturday morning about $3.50,
when the south bound passenger train
struck Studebaker car belonging to and
occupied by Sam Cain, colored railroad
employee Of the Gwin yards. The af-
fair snuffed out lives in the toll, him
self, his 6-year-old girl, 10-year-old son,
and his mother. The boy survived for
Is minutes after the accident, but was
unconscious and unable to give any YER
sion of the affair.
The tragic crash occurred at the rail-
road crossing in North Tchula, when
the car in trying to make the pass, be-
fore the train arrived, was hit and car
ried about 800 yards. All occupants of
the car were badly mangled, it was
stated, and the driver either killed his
engine, or miscalculted the speed Of the
onrushing train. No near witnesses
were present to give any statements of
the accident, so it is said.
Many passengers were on the plat
form of the depot when the crash oc-
Cured waiting for the incoming train,
the scene of the accident being north
of the station, and medical aid was rem
dered by DIR. P. NJ Smith, who was
hastily sumoned to the scene of the
tragedy.

MORE COAST GUARD CUTTERS
 NEEDED.

The wreck of the Starr and the loss of halibut vessels in Western Alaska waters en- phaszes the need for United statse Coast Guard Cutter to De stationed at Cordova, Seward or some other point at the Westward. The Gnalga has impressed the people of this section with a sense of security that we should like to have extended to other portions of the Territory. Not only should this very worthy branch of the Government service be within striking distance of all portions of the Alaska coast but there ought to be large enough fleet of vessels to have CT more guard in this vicinity, in the Ketchikan district and the Gulf of Alaska all the time. This would mean sufficient num- Der of cutters b relieve those that must leave their stations a year for overhaulne The relief cutters could tlen follow the seal herd in the spring and keep the coast guarded all the year round
 The Coast Guard Service is Of the most important and best officered and manned of all the Government agencies. It is always ready and anxious fo Io it's part The only trouble is that 1t ought be larger

Latin Blood in tine senate.
New York Times.l

In view of the achievements of Italians, Span iards and Frenchmen in the discovery, explora- tion and colonization of this country 1t is pleasure to see a little Latin blood in Congress Two descendants of the Roman She Wolf were elected Senators week ago Former Governor Larrozolo Of New Mexico, chosen for the short term ending March 1, 1929, is Mexi- can a Chhuahuan by birth. Felix Herbert, born in Quebec of native born Rhode Island parents, will step into Senator Gerry's shoes in the next Congress Tn this case, Latin succeeds Latin. The Latin delegation will suffer great loss in the departure of MT Bayard of Delaware. Char ley" Curtis has an excellent assortment of cestors most convenient for the politician.
 His name is sheer Latin. If he followed fam fly precedent he would subscribe himself "Cour- tosp. more specifically and formally, Charles Le Courtois." MT. Broussard of Louisiana is obviously and uninterruptedly French. Senator Hale is Norde; and possibly his French Can adian constituents have been apprised of his for tunate descent. He springs should spring, since, genealogy ought to be taken seriously by the good from the Hales of Kent. who exhibit Sir Nicholas de Hale their Norman forbear. The younger La Toilette continues not unworthily the distinction shed upon another Latin appel lation. The junior Senator from Virginia seems plainly marked Cartier Glace." The father of the Senate and it's wisest head, Francis Emroy Warren. must find his name-orgn in Waloon records, where Warens, Werenes, Warrenes abound.
 Warren of Cheyenne and Joseph Warren of Bunker Hill are one stock. Senator Du Fonts name speaks for itself The old spelling of Sen ator Fletcher's must have been "Flechier" Our cosmopolitan and lately much-traveled New Hampshire friend prefers the Nordc spelling to the authenticated Noise he is affectionately known it is said, in section of the Granite State population not immutaby Republican.

The Synthetic Cow.
(Cincinnati Enquirer

Arcadian dreams of life will be shocked Ey the coming of the synthetic cow-but it is here The artist of the future who goes seeking bucolic charm will not enliven his pastoral canvas with scenes of gentle kline sojournng in shallow waters or vending slowly "homeward OCT the lea;" will not see them gathered at the bars of the farm gate when the twilight hour falls, or revelng in the lush grass of Virgilic meadows. No it is said that the day will when we shall take our milk, not from the swollen udders of faithful sensate servants, but from the tubes or tunnels of cold and scientific machine
 Synthetic milk now is a fact-a fact of such prominence and importance that it is enlisting the alarmed attention of dairy farmers through cut the world. It is being produced in increasing volume and quantity from an "emusifer" And It IS milk-the best gift of nature and her gods
 It doesn't appear that much can be done about it. The modern city housewife is not too familiar with Already, and probably would have nothing to do with it if she were, and could hen herself. We are trendng upon the time when all our food is to come to in tabloid form when living will be smplifed beyond even the dreams or devoted hermit or insuferable crank
 This is the Industrial Age-the age of ma chimes and machine life But it must he sad for the poet and the painter to realize this fact. Who poetieally, could refer to "emulsifer" as something whose tnklng bells could appeal to the aesthetic soul? And what poet howsoever in spired, could wrie Mary. go bring the emul sifers homer"

A CHALLENGE TO THE DRYS.

For the last six years the organized dry forces of the country have claimed an overwhelming majority in Congress. In the present Congress they assert that the drys control the Senate by vote of 73 to 22 and the House by vote of 320 to 115. If they are right, they have majority of approximately 3 to l h both Houses,
 Now comes Dr. James M Doran, Prohibition Commissioner, to testify be- fore the Appropriations Committee of the House Of Representatives concerning the problem of enforcement. There is no question of Dr. Doran's loyalty to the cause of prohibition Various dry or ganizations have indorsed his work He now informs this committee that effective policing oi the Nation in the matter of the Prohibition Law will require new system Of Federal courts and cost sa00,- 000000 year instead of the s30, 0,000,- 900 which is now provided.
 Are the drys in Congress ana the organized drys who watch over Cnn- gress prepared to accept this chal- lenge? Will they bring before he House of Representatives Legislation null tiplying by ten the sum now appro- priated for enforcement, in order that a real experiment may be tried? Or will they dodge the issue, for fear of stirring up resentment? (New York World.)
 Of course Congress does not dare to 2 )r. Dcran all the money that would be necess o give the country effective Prohibition Try Senators and Representatives are not [ lind of Prohibitionists. They are Prohibition or political purposes. They do not want ective Prohibition in the first place, and Il would not dare TO tax $500, ,0Q0,0 GOO year fl the peoples pockets for political Prohibiti The fact is that fl there were way to co,
