AN INSPIRATION.

MT Hoover's plan to visit the principal South American countries before his inauguration is an inspiration and stamps him as genius. It will do more to re-estabsh and broaden friendly relations among the countries of the Western World than anything that ever before has oc- cured It will give the soon-to-be Chief Execu- tive acquaintance and information that will be unmeasurable service to him and his country during his tenure of the Presidency
 And further and probably fully important and useful Mr. Hoover's visit to South America will take him out of the reach of the politicians who otherwise would give him rest. It will give him opportunity for desirable contemplation and development of serenity.
 The standing of the United States, due to the Nicaraguan difficulties. has been impaired in South America, and it would take just such a bold adventure this MT Hoover contempates to put things right There will probably be not a statesman in South America that will not have unbounded confidence in American good faith and will not be charmed with the President-ele and Mrs Hoover before the South American visit shall have terminated.
 That MT and Mrs Hoover will benefit by the trip there is no doubt, MT. Hoover has mol had an abundance of vacation days during the last several years and, while would never guess it from the returns, he has had a very @ strenuous and nerve-straining political campaign Under the circumstances it could not fail to b, immensely refreshing to retrace the seasons- early fall and summer and finally to overtak' spring again before tackling a Washington February and March and the officefseekers ant lobbyists. 7sg afaa''.e s

Realism and the Movies.

Not many would agree with the baseball player in Elmer the Great" who hated places where he had been. But nearly every one will admit sort of reminiscent fondness for the places where he has been It is this sentimental regard for the familiar which makes New York movie audiences like pictures of the Battery and the Wooworth Building and Times Square. And when films with a New York setting shown in the West there is a thrill of recognition by those who have been to the metropolis and whispered Identification for their untrayeed neighbors.

 Instead of being fattered by the request and gratifed at the prospect of widespread publicity they replied that the script for the film would hrst have to be submitted to make sure that there would be nothing in it derogatory. Their idea evidently was that the throwing of custard pies and the imbibing of soup by the aid of 6 sponge may be all very well for the movies but not good publicity for real restaurant.

JUST IN THE INTEREST OF HISTORY

Now that the campaign is over interest in | its incidents and the manner the issues were drawn belong to history, and errors and mis- statements made by participants in the conflict will eventually be set right Yet it is of some importance that the living witnesses of the events should have nearly authentic accounts pos sible, and II would be we'll for those who write about them to go to the records for the facts rather than to take statements made during the campaign by partisans endeavoring to influence voters For instance esteemed Stroller, speaking of Coy. Smith, says:
 In fact his address of acceptance
 sealed his doom, in which address he
 fit to repudate the Prohibition
 plank adopted by the convention that
 nominated him. substituting therefor
 measure emhodying his personal views.
 That in substance is the statement that Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, re- tracted when the record of the conventions Com mittee on Resolutions and Platform submit ted to him by Senator Pittman, chairman of the committee Senator Glass, who wrote the law enforcement plank (there no Prohibition plank) denied that Gov Smith had repudiated any plank in the platform. Josephus Daniels and Gov. Moody, both also members of the Resolutions and Platform Committee and both like Senator . Glass Prohbitonists, agreed with Senator Glass, that Gov. Smiths attitude was entirely consist ent with the platform The fact is that the
  that Gov Smith would do exactly what he did
 Gov. Smith had notified the convention in advance of his attitude He gave it in state ment in the New York World on the eve of the convention and it printed in the Houston papers and carried by the Associated Press to the country. This printed before the conven- tion convened, and it of the main topics of conversation and consideration among the dele gates. In the face of this statement Gov Smith was nominated, with more than two-thirds of the convention voting for him, on the first ballot Then, before the convention adjourned, Gov Smith sent telegram to the convention, tellins it exactly his position. He did not wait for tn, acceptance speech to make known his views which well known at Houston
 The fact is that the Houston convention wa ready to adopt much stronger anti Prohibition plank than the position indicated by Gov Smitl in his statement to the World his telegram to th convention, his acceptance speech and subsequen speeches. The Resolutions and Platform Com mittee and the convention were overwhelmingl opposed to the Volstead Act Gov Moody an Senator Glass, who led the fight for the drys knew this, and they agreed that the best policy in view of the sentiment of some of the Souther States. would be to compromise by not com hitting the party the question of Prohib tion at all, leaving it open so that the can didates on the National ticket and those runnin for Senatorships members of the House

These Southern voters who think more of the doctrines of the Anti-Saloon League, the Ku Klux Kan and a few bigoted and hate-cherishng Methodist and Baptist preachers than they think of the teachings of Jefferson Jackson and Will son did we'll vote against Coy. Smith. They are not Democrats and the further they stay away from the Democratic Party the greater will be the appeal of the party to intelligent and civilized people.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-11-13

Representatives would be free to take such posi- tion as they might think proper-and it was known what would be Gov Smiths position
 This was often explained during the cam paign by both vets and drys who were completely familiar with the situation and circumstances. Bishop Cannon understood it, and admitted it be- fore the Resolutions and Platform Committee. So did Dr. Barton. That is why Senator Glass was so incensed at them for contending during the that Coy. Smith had repudiated the platform He insisted, and all who were at Hous- ton and familiar with the proceedings knew, that both of them knew better than they talked.

Tail Lights
BY sWEDE SWANSON

Many motorists, of for vacation
in the country, see only that part
of the outdoors which they happen
to pass on their way to, their desti-
nation. The rest of the time they
spend indoors at the card table or
on the lounge.
1t is a poor way to spend vaca-
ton. The United States public
health service advises us to get out
and stay out, if we would have a
change from the everyday busi-
ness life we carry on for fifty weeks
in the city.
The mere change Of surroundings
can restore health and strength.
The lack of business or home wor-
ries is a relief. But it's a slow
palliative when we remain indoors,
wherever we happen to go.
Likewise is it fruitless, so far as
rest is concerned, to be confined to
the wheel for the greater part of the
day, every day we are away from
home, only to slump into bed as
soon as we find and overnight rest
ing place.
The advice of Government health
officials is to get out and stretch.
enjoy the open air of the country
get away from the automobile and
the cottage or tent or hotel, go OUT
on the golf links, in the woods, on
the lake or Seashore and make the
best of the short recess we take
from the busy grind.

new SHACKLES
ON STUDEBAKER
Ball Bearings Maky Easy
Riding.

The adoption of ball bearing
spring shackles for the new line of
champion motor cars announced by
Studebaker on July 8, is an added
demonstration of Studebaker's en-
eineering leadership, according to
Robert Armacost, local Studebaker-
Erskine dealer.
These shackles are exclusive tc
Studebaker cars. The new ball
bearing spring shackles provide
greater riding comfort, eliminate
squeaks, ratties and adjustments
and require inspection only at TO-
000-mile intervals when lubricant
may be added if necessary.

TRUCK DEMAND
BREAKS RECORD
Dodge Reports $4,000, 900
Orders on Hand.

Overtime schedules and record
breaking production are being main
tanned in all plants of the truck di-
vision of Dodge Brothers. Inc, in
an effort to meet the unprecedented
demand that is being made for the
new line of six cylinder Graham
Brothern trucks recently announced.
Still, in the face of this great
plant activity, officials state they
are finding it impossible to date to
meet the dealer and public require
ments. 1t is possible that it will be
found necessary to operate the
plants on both day and night shifts
in the immediate future.
Reports show that untitled orders
on hand are among the heaviest in
the history of the company. On
June q, there were orders for trucks
and commercial cars amounting to
book value Of between $4,000, 900
and $5,000,000
Unified orders at this time are
the greatest in the history of the
company, and set a new record for
the manufacture of the heavier
type truck.
