Seen But Not Met.
New York Times. )


 Every once in while some liberal, copying the Parliamentary epigram, remarks that "our State Department is continuously hurt in it's feelings to discover that Latin America is popu- lated by Latn-Americans A critic of British Indian policy once made this remark about the Asian possessions, and it serves to characterize most adventurous blunderings in foreign affairs Indian continues to be populated by Indians. and Mexico by Mexicans, and these races alter little But recently writers have insisted that the Eng llsh are changing, that the old stubborn Saxon refusal to be different from the unchangng GUS toms of the past is fading from their disposition There have been some scattered proofs of this but an article by We're II. Collins in the March Boaklnan reveals the fact that the ancient trait of stand-ohlshnrs remains extant. MT Collins an 0Nonian, privileged to have many inter- views with Thomas Hardy between 1920 and l9zz They talked about everything and in the e9nIse of the conversations Max Beerbohm was mentioned. Now both MT Hardy and Mr Beer bohm were literary celebrities at the time and in America or France they would unquestonably have known each other availed themselyes of any opportunity to meet Here is the dialogue in The Bookman:
 Collins: Do you like Max Beerbohm's
 work?
 Hardy: l do
 Collins: Have you met him?
 Hardy: Mo- but I have sat opposite
 him at dinner. He has not at all
 humorous face, I thought, lat rather
 melancholy expression.
 Imagine an American dinner of litterateurs with Harrington and Masters sitting opposite each other or French dinner with Daudet and Baizae inspecting each others countenance and never once saying: There's man I want to meet"

Sloan's Influence on Mining.
lPrlnce ilunert NewH.l


 It has been aptly said that man cannot be- come really famous until after he is dead. Ger tain it is that mems good deeds live after them. British Columbia has finally entered upon era of mining development that bids fair to placing the industry in this Province in the very fore front of world-famous mining districts
 The foundations for this development and fu- ture promise were well and truly laid by the late Hon William Sloan Minister Of Mines in the Liberal Government, who knew the mining game from the ground up and who has left mining development policy behind him which, if carried cut sensiby and with confidence cannot do other than place British Columbia in the very foremost of mineral producers.
 Business men, miners, farmers, and in short every section of the public, must profit materially from the development of Provincial mines. In a few short months the fruits of Hon. Mr Sloan s years of work have become to be apparent. He established reputation for sound mining laws, protection to both capital and labor, and a policy of encouragement which today are being reflected in the remarkable interest being taken in mining projects throughout every mineralized section of the Pacific Province.
 Like all great movements, present mining activities have only followed of prepara- tion which required years to work out The Minister of Mines determined that the public should be protected against wildcat ventures. So he appointed resident engineers of ndisputabe ability. They have reported upon every discovery and their reports have proven sound basis for capital to proceed upon
 Hon. w. H. Sutherland who succeeds Hon Mr. Sloan Provincial Minister of Mines, is an able administrator He has announced his in- tention of pushing mining development to the full, and it appears that within a year or two the mining industry must take first place among the major industries of British Columbia

THE DEATH or SENATOR WILLIS.

Alaska lost stanch champion when sen ator Willis died so suddenly last Friday night Only year ago he made extensive trip through Alaska. and he caught the significance of all that he had seen Before that he had been a friend of the Territory, and as Chairman of the Senate Committee Territories he had sup ported all legislation in Congress that was in tended for its advancement and welfare. But he gained knowledge during his visit that enabled him to speak with greater authority and in the debate over the Alaska Railroad appropriation he able to make it clear that Congress ought to grant the money asked for While Senator Willis will probably be succeeded in the Territories Committee chairmanship by one who will be friendly, it is no reflection upon whom ever it may be to say that the Ohio Senator's death. is a severe blow to Alaska.
 While it is too to say what direction it will take, the death of senator Willis will without doubt have very important bearing on the political situation in Ohio He died while in the midst of a bitter campaign 10 win the Ohio delegation for himself in the Republican Presidential contest The Ohio battle has been the occasion for the creation of faetiona differ ences that have spread into practically all Coun- ties of the State. His removal from the scene, and with it his influence patronage and other matters, must necessarily alter the situation materially There will be none to take his place
 
 by Democrat That will mean that Senator Fess will be the only Senator from Ohio of the same political party the Administration, and thereby his influence in patronage and other party matters will be doubled
 The death of Senator Willis is likely also. to have not little influence the Democratic situation in Ohio. To begin with it gives Gov. Donahey Democrat, the duty of appointing his successor, and it will make it necessary for Ohio to elect two Senators next November instead of Ohio is one of the large States of the Union and is strategically situated between the East and the Middle West. Her electorate has a way of voting independently. She has Demo- cratic Governor now, and in 1916 she respon- sble for the reelection of President Wilson. While she is nominally Republican State. she has had a Democrat for Governor for most of the time for nearly quarter of century and for about half of the time she has had a Demo- cratic Senator.

HOTELS AND PROHIBITION.

The "Clipsheet of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Epieopal Church, says
 The wet interests said that prohibit
 tion would put hotels out of business.
 In 1926 $40 hotels were built, in
 yestment of about $4O0,000.000 being
 represented. It cost probably another
 S300,000,000 to equip these hotels.
 But these hotels have not got Prohibition, There is scarcely hotel in any town of import ance in the United States where cannot get liquor in his room within few minutes after placing telephone order In fact. so easy is it to get liquor in the average American hotel that many people patronize the hotels for that purpose.

 The charity that covers q multi tude of sins usually belongs to the owner of the sins.
 Many a man who has married a pretty face has lived to wish he had married a pair of useful hands.
 The old-fashioned "red-hot ma. ma" got that way from seeing the way her clean kitchen floor had been tracked up.
 Middle age is that time a wo. man reaches when she can quit feeding the children cod liver oil to fatten them up and devote her attention to reduction dopes to ease down her own weight.
 If everybody was content with what they have the manufacturers of hair dyes and bleaches wouldn't have to do much worrying over the income tax.
 There would be lot more hap py husbands if wives could be persuaded to take the detour around unpleasant subjects.
 It must be great trial to some of these girls not to be able to change or mess up the color of their eyes.
 Some men talk to themselves because they cant tell the ehil- dren anything, because they know it all already, and they can't tell their wives anything because they have to listen to what they are telling them.
 Now and then we see a picture in the illustrated section that makes us wonder if the photog- rapher's wife didn't make him go into some other line of business after she lamped them.

late tonight. Tomorrow he plans to
confer with a number Of Tennessee
republican leaders before leaving for
Dallas, Texas, to deliver the sixth

In his speech at the jefferson

est of the few" Mr.. Borah also de-
clared that Senator Robinson, the
governors running mate, had been a
consistent opponent of tariff por-
lection during his senatorial career.
