The news comes from Norway that Ben Eel- son, who piloted the Wilkins plane from Alaska to Spitzbergen would be unable to join an Antarctic expedition because he wants to get back to the Alaska mail service.
 The announcement suggests that thought that Ben Eielson ought to be sent to Washington to ask for appropriations for air mail service in Alaska With his worldwide reputation gained by the successful flight across the top of the world, he would make attractive and infu- ential lobbyist for any that has it's founda- tions in air navigation. And, in addition, MT. Eielson would speak for Alaska air mail service from experience No understands better than he the need for it in this Territory and none knows more about the practicabilty of it. And the fact that he talking with first hand information and ripe judgment would be known by all who heard him.

ADMINISTRATION CAN NOMINATE
 HOOVER.

David Lawrence editor of the United States Daily and one of the best known Washington political correspondents, very recently said the Administration nominate Secretary Hoover for President if it desires to do The Admin stration forces, counting the Hooverites Ad- ministration men, have easily carried the Re- publican delegateshp contest The Hoover votes. plus the uninstrueted delegates who still hoping that President Coolidge might be drafted, largely in the majority, he says.
 That the situation remains the same now as it when MT. Lawrence writing, notwth- standing the Indiana reverse, is apparent If the uninstructed New York, Pennsylvania, Southern and New England delegates cast for Secre- tary Hoover he will have enough without Indiana West Virginia, and he has not given up the hope of carrying West Virginia.
 However, are likely to witness boom in the draft Coolidge talk as result of the Indiana setback The late newspapers to arrive in the mails have of that talk than has been heard for sometime w. w. Jermane, writ ing few days before the Indiana primary said there Coolidge talk at that time than had been heard since the Black Hills statement last August.
 : Charles D. Hilles, leader of the New York Republicans, recently returned from Washington where he talked with President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon, and said that he is stronger for the draft Coolidge plan than he was He said MT Mellon praised him for keeping the New York delegation the uninstructed wait Acknowledgements list and that MT. Coolidge had not reproyed him for his attitude.
 MT. Lawrence in his article referred to, calls attention to the fact that neither the President nor the Secretary of the Treasury had done ol said thing that would indicate preference, for MT Hoover. Mir Lawrence predicted tha they will not indicate a preference quickly but he believes, they will wait until after the ballot ing shall have demonstrated the strength tha the Secretary of Commerce has gathered hi own before they act, if at all

COOPERATION FROM SUBSCRIBERS.

The response of Empire readers to the recently adopted rule that subscriptions must be pald In advance has been more than satisfactory The subscribers apparently caught the necessity Tor it from the beginning. With 2,OOO or more SUD scribers the charge account system causes an appalling amount of bookkeeping, and the loss Tn the course of the year is larger than any busl- ness can afford to sustain. The subscribers have given evidence that they understand this and the number of complaints on account of the change to cash in advance has been very small indeed.
 It is the system that is followed by news papers throughout the country. The rule is that a subscription automatically stops when not promptly renewed. It is necessary because or the multitude of accounts and the losses that result when the credit system is followed. It IS not a question of the credit of the average sup scriber There very few, if any, Empire subscribers whose credit is at all questionable There is not one to whom it would not be sound business to extend credit. But 1t is different when the number of accounts is so large as to be overwhelming.
 The Empire management appreciates the CO., operation in the matter that it is receiving from it's subscribers

will be added to that of former Gov. Lowden for Gen. Dawes if it shall be discovered that he can be nominated with it. Also the claim is advanced that if Senator Golf wins West Virginia the votes of that State will be for the Vice President if a controlling Dawes combination can be formed
 However, as MT. Lawrence said, the situation still seems to be in the hands of the Admin istration followers and the Hooverites. If they all go for MT. Hoover he will win. If they do not his chances are not certain.

 As we get the ads, the abbreYia- tion bloomers were designed for girls who want to feel modest but don't want to look it.
 The cynic says it is remarkable how much a wife can say to a husband without once letting any thing slip in that sounds like 1t might be meant for approval.
 The reason a man doesn't mind losing money in a poker game is because the other players never bawl him out for his misplays the way they do in bridge.

 Girls at least are finding out they don't need a lot of clothes to attract the attention of men.
 A girl who cant fill her stock ings now knows how a man feels when he can't fill his job.
 A good many divorces might be avoided if she would make sure he always will have plenty of money and he'll make sure she'll always have plenty of patience.

TURNER TOSSES
RUGGED FOE

Rough House" Nelson is a vicious
mailman and it took considerable
persuasion on the part Of Lieut..
Jerry Sullivan. of the Tenth pre-
cinct, and his aides, that mayhem
was not to be committed last night
at the Arcadia. Nelson fell a VIC
tim to the wrestling science Of ven
cradle Joe Turner, but the visitor
always wanted to give Joe souve-
mir in the shape of a body lark.
Freddy Meyers took two of the
three falls with Tony Felici and
Bobby Mainfort and Charley Metro
toiled to draw.
The Nelson Turner event was
listed as the semiwind-up, but 1T
was easily the feature of the
night. No sooner had both
grapplers left their corners than
the melee began. and Nelson
lost no chance to smear the
features of Turner.
The latter once dropped Nelson
over the ropes, and this didn't
please Rough House" bit. How
ever, Joe applied a hold after 90
minutes and the match was over.
Felici and Meyers put on the
speediest match here this winter
for heavyweights. and both huskies
were exceedingly fast on their feet.
The Italian gained the first fall. but
Meyers took the next two and the
match.
