MT. Hughes to the Rescue.
fNew York Times. ]

It might at first seem hard to account fol the elation of the National Republican Committee in announcing the fact that Mr Hughes has agreed to make some political speeches in this State. But on reflection sees that it is the satisfaction which comes from doing a thing both just and generous. For the Republican Com mittee must know that Mir Hughes will feel compelled to stand by, if not to repeat the high praise of Smith which he uttered when presenting the Governor to the Association of the Bar of this city He then welcomed him as "the expert in government and, I might say, a mas ter in the science of politics" As a further text for his expected speeches against Smith he could take the following extract from hsi own address on the occasion:
 He long since became member of
 high distinction of the fine arstocracy
 of public serviee-the American peerage
 We have watched him, some of us care
 fully, all with fascination. The title
 that he holds is the proudest title that
 any American can hold because it is
 title to the esteem and affection of his
 fellow ow-citizens-Governor Smith
 Doubtless the Republican National Commit tee will also be glad to have Mir Hughes in clude in his anti-Smith campaigning the words used by President Butler when Columbia Uni versty conferred upon Governor Smith the honor ary degree of Doctor of Laws:
 Born on Manhattan Island and train
 ed in the hard school of it's many-sided
 and cosmopolitan life; since manhood
 constant and eager public servant in
 posts of steadily growing importance and
 authority; three times chosen by the
 people Of the truly Imperial State to be
 their Governor alert, effective public
 spirited and courageous, constantly
 speaking the true voice of the people
 III day or petty politics it is truly refresh ing to find partisan committee magnanimons enough to seek the services of a man who will exat the ability and acclaim the character of his political opponent.

FOOLISH PRIDE.

ohe or the stock arguments with many sup porters Of Prohibition, who admit that it is not being enforced, is that the country cannot afford to confess 10 the world that she had started something that she could not finish. They con tend that 1t would be humiliating to sacrifice National pride and admit that the great United States cannot enforce Prohibition laws within their own boundaries, therefore, we must fight 1t out on the line that have started if we never win the battle.
 That is absurd Other countries have admit ted that Prohibition enforcement was impossible Canada tried it and abandoned it Every conn., try in Europe that tried it abandoned it. And the United States has tried to enforce other laws found it impossible and quit notable instance was the Fugitive Slave Law. The people of the Northern States would stand for the law and they nullfed it.
 Prohibition is unenforced in the United States and most of those who have tried tc enforce it have admitted that it is unenforce. able The world knows it. But these proud folks would rather that the world would look upon the United States as a.big ostrich with her

More or Less True


 Daughters conclusion is thai mother passed up too many good times in her younger days in or der to get the clear conscience she's always boasted about. A prize egotist is a bald-headed old millionaire who thinks the gold diggers would make just as much over him if he didn't have a nickel.
 If mother could live her life over again she would pick man who could make enough so he could think of something besides "economy" to talk about.
 A modern woman thinks it is just big waste of time bending over a stove getting meals as her husband thinks sitting in front of a mirror primping is.

head in the sand imagining that her failures are invisible than to let them regard us as common sense people.
 If we are to put this whole thing on a basis of pride the United States is too big and ought to have too much pride not to face the truth. The fact is that Prohibition is unenforceable. Eight years experience has proved it. She ought to admit it and set about the solution of the liquor question in some other way-someway that has promise of success.

U. $. Political Campaign.
(Prince Rupert News ]

What strikes the ordinary observer in regard to the United States political campaign for the Presidency is the similarity between the public utterances of the candidates there and in this country. Each claims to be the friend of every pody and ready to do anything they think the people may happen to want and yet hedging sufficiently to give them way out in case they should decide to change the policy of the party
 What seems clear, however is that Al Smith IS against prohibition as at present in force in the states and Hoover is for it. Beyond that there seems little difference in policy between the two parties, judging by their speeches

Although the offer did not have to be accented the fact is deeply appreciated that the Alaska Road Commission stood ready and willing to extend aid to Seward when the news of the storm and flood was sent out. The Gateway is commissioned by Mayor L. V. Ray to publicly ackhowiedge receipt of telegram from Major Malcom Elliott, head of the A. R. G. in which ne ohered all facilities possible at his command Tn case the City of Seward might be in distress

Editorial Comment
A Gift That Ought to Do Lot of Good
Duluth Herald)

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert D. Lasker of Chicago
have made gift for the public benefit that
ought to result in great deal of good for man.
kind
They have given the University Of Chicago
million dollars to be used in establishing q
foundation for the study of the, degenerative
diseases that often occur after the age of fifty,
with the hope that this study will develop
means Of preventing and curing these diseases,
thus frightening human life and averting hui
man misery.
That is fine gift.
1t is not as easy to give money wisely AS
those who haven't any money to give may
think. Indeed it is much easier to do harm by
thoughtless giving than it is to do good.
But this gift by the former chairman of the
United States shipping board can pauperize no
body, can get nobody into the habit of leaning
on others instead of developing his own re-
sources, can do no possible harm. It can, on
the other hand, do an enormous amount of
good.
There is, perhaps, no field of medicine in
which there is greater need of study and re-
search than that which Mr.. and Mrs. Lasker
have chosen. 1t is field in which heavy
toll of human life is taken every year, and
taken at time when its victims ought to be
OF the largest use to society. These diseases
seem to be increasingly prevalent, too in these
days of soft living and easy luxury, and so far
medicine can offer little but amelioration.
He who seeks to make it possible to cure dis
eases now generally thought to be incurable is
trying to do great good to his fellow man,
and he must be inspired by a loving wish to
reduce his neighbours distress and increase his
neighbours happiness. That makes this very
beautiful giving.

A Picturesque New Yorker
New York Post

Many an "old grad" must have heaved a
reminiscent sigh and smiled wry smile last
night on reading of the death of John Dunston.
For Dunston, as the proprietor Of Jacks, the
most colorful restaurant of its day, had prob
ably helped entertain and then eject more COL
lege students and young men-about-town than
any ten Of his c0mpeers. Like so many New
Workers. who helped make history over the turn
OF the century, Dunston came as lad from
ireland. He was waiter before he opened his
own place at Sixth avenue and Forty.third
street in 1891.
Having thrown away the keys and announced
ne was ready for business twenty-four hours
IN the day, the moving spirit of Jacks saw to
1t that his customers were provided with the
kind OF spirit they wanted, and the place be-
came what might be termed the first night club
of New York.
College boys in town for lark and the rich
youngsters Of the city made Jacks the fad, and
for 1.-TWO decades the early morning hours found
the place filled to OVERLOOKING and Dunston
growing rich. But one thing the fighting
lrishman who catered to the fast set would
not stand for was fighting among his quests,
and another thing taboo was disputing bill.
However, these contretemps would happen in
place where the wine list was the largest part
of the menu, and Jacks flying wedge of
walters, which left a record of never having
been defeated, had many battle royal with
obstreperous patrons. Many a man now re-
spected grandfather picked himself up out Of
the gutter in front of Jacks at some period of
his youthful folly.
After twenty years of uninterrupted pros
perity, Dunston began having trouble with
the authorities. Mayor Mitchell made the
man who boosted he had thrown away his keys
purchase new ones and close his place at / a. M
Then prohibition came and the famous place
was finally definitely on the wane. More and
more difficult did the old man find it to ad-
just himself to the new order Of things and
two years ago the doors that for nearly a gen.
Grafton were never closed swung together for
ever. Now the spirit of Jacks is stilled as
we'll as the institution. But it will live in
memory for many years to come and will find
place in accounts Of the time, in which it will
be embalmed for future generations to mar
vel at.

! We are told that religion has lost its appeal.
People mournfully point out that more persons

The empty pews are the theme of many a
smournful disquisition.

THAT showed this apparent Indifference to re-

the Established Church Of England.
!. The mob of people who sought admission to
attend the debates broke all recent precedents.
The speeches made in the House of Lords and
In the House of Commons broke all records for
seloquence, for intenseness, for earnestness, for
ability.
All party lines were smashed. All class
lines were forgotten. Bishops, aristocrats and
workmen on one side opposed bishops, aristo-
Gratis and workmen on the other. The result
of the voting was awaited with a tenseness
that is hard to realize or to picture. Not i'll

keenly watched by whole nation.
1t was derouting thing for the pessimists.
It showed once for all that religion still comes
close to the hearts and minds of men. The
lessons learned at the mothers knee have not
been forgotten. They are still cherished. They
have still place in the innermost being. They
still reign In the core of us.

Tuberculosis is q disease which
requires the most careful dietetic
regime. Stuffing with such foods as

more sufferers from this malady

diet. No more food should be given
than the body can appropriate to its
uses, and only those foods OF the

be used. Any amount above this

the body all the more, and creates
more catarrhal mucus which must
