profession are more interested in local elections than they in the National contest that many people feel compelled to support the National ticket of their party for local political reasons while their convictions lie on the other side Precinct organizations formed to elect local ticket and incident of the local campaign they are compelled for strategic reasons to sup port the National ticket of their party The combination of those of the majority who favor the election of the party ticket in the Nation. the State ticket or the county ticket makes one that is hard to break. matter what may be the individual opinions of the voters on specific issues It places the party first rather than the issues
 We find that condition this year In the East great majority of the Republicans are wet, but they are voting for Hoover rather than to bring disaster to local tickets. Likewise, but to a lesser extent interest in local tickets is helping Gov Smith in the South and Border States We say to lesser extent for the reason that in most of the Solid South there are no Republican local tickets the Democratic State and county tickets are not involved in the National election
 change in this situation would count for progress. It would permit the people to vote for President National issues and for local tickets on local issues. It would eliminate lot of the cross currents that prevent a decision so many National and local questions

THE PEOPLE ARE MAKING
 IMPORTANT DECISION.

The people of Alaska making their se- lection today of Delegate to Congress, At torney-General and members of the Territorial Legislature It is of great importance that they make no mistake in the premises. It is import ant that get a Delegate to Congress who will represent the Alaska people in Washington and not spend his whole time at the game of personal politics. the rewarding of political friends, the punishment of political enemies and trying to rig things that he might be reelected in 193O
 The people ought by all means to elect George B. Grgbsy, who stands for self f-govern- ment, who pledges himself to use all of his ad- mittedly large abilities to bring the powers of government to the people that they might con trcl their own affairs including the fisheries and game, and to work hard and continuously for the welfare of Alaska.
 In selecting members of the Legislature they ought by all means to defeat William L. Paul and those who likely to be influenced by him. MT Paul for years has been in the pay of the Alaska Native Brotherhood which has been trying to get fish traps abolished. He now admits that he took $6,000 from cannery interests to take bill back to Washington that would, if adopted, give the eanners secure leasehold rights to their fish trap sites. He followed that up by advertising that it is his purpose, if re- elected, to swing the axe on the fish traps that he will not rest until all the fish traps are abolished. Of course, this advertised promise was to get votes from the Indians. Whether MT. Paul expects to double cross the canneries or the fishermen we are left to guess At any rate, the people do not want who works for both sides, for pay, to represent them in the Legislature.

FIGHTING INTOLERANCE FOR 100
 YEARS.

One hundred years ago the Democratic Party was fighting the ti-Masonc Party, and, then as now, the stanehest Democratic stronghods were the South and New York City Gen. Jack son, Mason, the Democratic nominee for President and the National leader of his party His chief aide Martin Van Buren of New York with his Tammany and Irish Catholic following, though he member of the Dutch Reformed Church himself. large part of the Jackson opposition was made up of anti-Masons William II. Seward, later of the leaders of the Republican Party, was an out-and-out mem Der of the Anti-Masonic Party. Gen. William Henry Harrison, also strongly anti-Jaekson, friendly with the anti-Masons. His attitude during this bigoted fight against individual liberty gave him the Whig Presidential nomina- tion dozen years later when the Whigs rejected Clay because he Mason. The Democrats fought the anti-Masons to their death as they short time later destroyed the Know-Nothing Party Most of the Irish Catholics notwith- standing that none of them were Masons fought the anti-Masons in the of individual lb- erty and tolerance, just as vigorously in 1928 1S40 as they battled against the Catholic-oppos- ing Know Nothings in the 5Os
 If the Democratic Party in its long history has stood for meritorious things at all among the first of them have been it's sturdy battles for tolerance and individual liberty When 1t has dgressed from rigid adherence to these fundamentals, as it occasionally has done it has departed from the Je1ersonan and Jacksonian principles upon which it was built and forfeited any claim that it might have had to the support of real democrats
 If nothing else results from the great fight real democrats have made for the nomination and election of Gov. Smith, at least they have got the Democratic Party back on the solid rock Of democracy. The party again stands for tol- erance, individual liberty and State rights. Under the leadership of Gov. Smith, it was under the leadership of Jefferson and Jackson, the Democratic Party is democratic The longer it adheres. to that leadership and the stand taken at the Houston convention the greater will be it's appeal to real democrats and more and more of them will find in it their political anchorage.

A Constitution for China.
Manchester Guardian.) )

Every respectable State possesses Constitu- tion, and the Nationalist Government of China nave lost not a moment in conferring that mark Of responsibility on the land which they now rule virtually unehallenged. Their constitutional law is curious document, but it has the double merit or being designed frankly to meet the needs or the moment and of deriving from Chinese tra- dition rather than from Western custom Ultra democratic though the Natonaliss may be in principle, they have no illusions on the capacity of the Chinese to work democratic system as the words are understood here. The Chinese na- ton has, they feel, got to get accustomed to gov ernment before it can get sef-government: or as the preamble to the law phrases it. the Chinese revolution has passed from the military only to the educatiye stage. The next stage may see self government, but the present. one-plainly de- elared to be one of transition-requres mainly strong government. Consequently there is no eloquent talk of eternal charters of freedom The Constitution is a temporary one and it's essence is complete control by the Nationalist Party If is, in fact, a book of rules for the Nationa1 Government of China Not so unwisely as tbe political theorist may think the framers have preferred Chinese rules. The system established of a President-cum-C Cabinet and boards for tbo various functions of government executive lep islatiye, and the like, composed of Nationalists and apparently responsible to the party is renin lscent Of the old system of Cabinet and boards responsible to the Emperor Each is system or aDsolutlsm, but In the earlier case the abso ute ruler was Manchu conqueror: in this if IS a party which in a very real sense is China Like all dlctatorial systems the Nationalist one IS cumorous, but 1t has been carefully framed and there is immediate reason to holiava that it will not work

More Or Less True

 Us getting so you never see anything on the clothesline you haven't seen before.
 The old-fashioned woman who used to light the fire when she gof up. now has daughter who lights cigarette when she finally does roll out of bed.
 If father ever gets chance to marry again, before he makes the plunge he is going to make sure the lady isn't the kind that is al- ways hearing burglars in the mid dle of a cold night
 It is getting so that If a mother hears daughter getting in by mid night she'll rush to the phone and call the doctor p.d.qs because she knows, without seeing her, that daughter is mighty sick.
 Another one who doesn't believe those who say there is no hell, is the girl who has just discovered a runner in her one and only pair Of expensive silk stockings.
 Things work out pretty wall at that and you'll notice girls didn't take to smoking until the cigarette lighter came in and made it un- necessary to scratch a match in the old-fashioned way.
 The greatest advantage the eiec- trie has over the old-fashioned flat iron is the time it takes to dis connect the cord and give the husband a chance to duck.
 The modern idea of cruel par ents are those who let their child Ten go through life with their ton sils.
 The reason men have to have pockets is because they can't stick things down their neck the way the women do.

SYSTEM OUGHT TO BE CHANGED.

The attempt, and in many respects apparent failure, to make a great referendum of the Presi- dential election today suggests there should be change in the system in the United States so that State and county and local elections of all sorts would be on different day, in a different year. from the Presidential election.

Washington, Dec. 14.-If you ask
them, as not so many people do.
hotel employees, chambermaids, ele-
vator boys, walters, porters and floor
clerks, aren't so all in an ecstacy
about the return of the native con-
gresham and senator from his great
open spaces as might be expected.
No man is hero to his valet, they
say, except about the time he decides
to give away all his old suits. and
by the same token, the men ION the
hill" seem in highest regard by
those who serve them" at the time
Of departure rather than arrival.
Washington hotel employees know
the genus congressman-his habits,
customs, prospects, even more than
one might think, for at least SO per
cent of these temporary residents Of
the capital live in hotels during the
congressional term.
A larger percentage of representa-
tives live in hotels than senators,
which, considering minimum hotel
rates of $50 week for every MEM
Der Of the family, and average rent
ais Of $50 week, seems strange,
till one begins inquiring about house
and apartment rents. Then one
understands why Mr.. Congressman
flocks to the hotels while Mr.. SEN
ator has his house.
Hotel employees list their causes
for dissatisfaction according to their
own jobs. Elevator boys, for in
stance, say that their speed is ap-
preciably decreased after the con-
gressmen return, and that lesser
mortals who are just as anxious to
get to the coffee shop or the barber
shop get grouchy and blame the
boys:
They're so gabby," one vaseline-
haired sheik confided. They're al
ways seeing somebody they know
just as the elevator stops, and they
have to stop to talk before getting
in. Then they go through all this
monkey business of jockeying
around, trying to decide who'll get
aboard first"
Chambermaids display a becoming
reticence but indicate that they could
write volumes" if encouraged.
Causes Of complaint seem to range
from the congressional custom of
always kicking the sheets up from
the bottom of the bed, necessitating
Z complete bed overhauling every
day, to charges even more heinous.
Il suppose they have so much on
their minds that they can't sleep
quiet like other people," one naive

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. IA great
army Of old men and women shuttle
across the. confused pattern of Man.
hattan's daily life.
You meet them hanging YEARLY
from subway straps. You meet them
before dawn, carrying scrub pals
and brooms to their scenes of labor.
You meet them at the corner news
stands, huddled in overcoats. You
meet them ambling up and down the
crowded streets with sandwich signs
upon their backs.
But wherever and however you
meet them, you are likely to say
to yourself: "Old man and old
woman, what are you doing here :?
How does it happen that you are
caught in 4 city that has little place
for the old and broken? Why don't
you get away"
And before the question is framed,
you know there is no answer. What
answer there might be can be read
in their faces. Watching them, as
have watched them, you may be re-
minded Of old dray horses being
whipped down the cobbled streets;
old dray horses that strain and tug
and plod along ever so slowly.
Watching them, IS have watched
them, you sense z listlessness, 4
blank weari- ess, . detection, hope
lessness; . human living within a
shell and looking blankly out, with
out much interest and with less
hope.

pair in those faces, too! But they

Often their white hair is bobbed and
their attire of the latest Paris mode;
again, they reflect the aristocracy
of the naughty nineties.
Along Fifth avenue the club win

men in natty afternoon attire,
slouching comfortably in easy chairs
as they scan the Wall Street
columns, Or ,ou'll meet them in the
heart of the Wall Street belt, brisk
~ swinging into office buildings.
In all New York there is no great
er contrast than that between the
folk who are poor and the folk who
are rich.
! remember one day coming up
on two bent and broken sandwich
men who stood in mumbling con-
versation before the window of q
smart Fifth avenue club. And in
the window stood a frock-coated
old man, swinging a gold knife in
his hand and staring out At them

their plight.
It seemed to me that he must
have been saying to himself
