A Thankless Senator.
(New York Times.)

When Senator Shipstead Of Minnesota, Farmer-Labor insurrecto, taken into the Re- publican fold and given a Senate chairmanship, it predicted that he would file for re-elec- tion under the old party banner. But the winds from the prairies bring the blghting news that he will Farmer-Labcrte again As the radical spirits in Minnesota rise, and such ob- jurgations as "turn-coat' are joyfully with drawn, so do conservative spirits in Washing ton sink The Democratic shadow falls again across Minnesota. Woodrow Wilson came within less than 400 votes of carrying the State in 1916; Governor Smith has powerful bipartisan support there; and the failure of the Minnesota Republicans to lure back shipstead will mark Minnesota in red the campaign maps this Fall
 Locally, MT. shipstead's decision the Farmer-Labor Party State entity. While the required affidavit for filing in the Republi- primaries would apparently have prevented the Senator from entering them under any cir cumstances, he had the choice of standing an independent after the primary and letting the Farmer-Laborites sink like plummet in the blue waters of Lake Superior That he did not de this keeps alive the only definite symbol of radicalsm in the Northwest for it is within the Republican ranks that the Wisconsin fac tions fighting From The Times Watchtower at St. Paul the statement comes that Mir Ship stead would have preferred to Repub- liean because Of it's effect upon his status in Washington.

 Not since the 1916 campaign will the upper Mississippi Valley be hard fought this year. if the advance Of Hoover continues and he is nominated at Kansas City. Observers agree, with more to support their view than is usual in long distance guessing, that Lowden would have preponderant chance to carry Mime sota and Iowa against any Democrat But a Smith Hoover contest would make a battlefield of these States and also of Wisconsin The corn and wheat would bend before the breaths of the orators, and the prairies tremble with the tread of their feet before the snows of Noyem- Der fall.

COOLIDGE DOESN'T CHOOSE LOWDEN
 OR DAWES.

In of his very brief discussions of the famous don't choose to run manifesto, President Coolidge declared that the Republican Party not ''one man party" and he mentioned, qualified to succeed him in the White House. Hoover, Curtis, Willis Longworth and Dwight Morrow. There was not only not a word about Lowden Dawes, but it evident that both were deliberately omitted from the list, for they both consistently mentioned in all parts of the country for the Republican nomination
 This illustrates why it very improbable that either Dawes Lowden will be mentioned at Kansas City. Notwithstanding the unexpected strength developed by Lowden in several quarters than Lowden, if the latter's votes should ever go the Republicans will not repudiate the Coolidge Administration. The party cannot claim credit for Coolidge economy Coolidge sanity, etc, etc., and at the time repudiate Coolidge by nominating an standardization candidate for President. The indications are that Coolidge could probably pick the Republican nominee even yet if he would assume the authority to do so, he can, he probably will, lay low and permit Hoover to nominate himself with the aid of popular support throughout the country
 There have been signs that indicated that President Coolidge would have perferred that Hoover had not developed quite so strongly so that the convention might become apparently hopelesly deadlocked making it possible to be turn ed to his friend and Amherst classmate Dwight Morrow, but the signs are now multiplying that the battle is being fought out by the rank and file in the selection of Kansas City delegates and that it is going Hooyers way

SELECTING A JUDGE.

The circumstance that sentiments expressed py The Empire were used in the Southeastern Alaska Bar Association telegram to Senator Norris, Char man of the Senate Judiciary Committee, as a protest against the appointment of a nonresident of Alaska for District Judge in the First Divison causes us to repeat that the Judge ought to be one well grounded in the law with years of active practice behind him." While we are strongly convinced that Judges in Alaska should be selected from the Alaska bar it is even more important that they be able lawyers-men who have practiced law as a profession and have made good. They plenty of such lawyers both Republicans and Democrats-in Alaska We ought to have a Judge who would rank with Judges Delaney, Johnson, Lyons and Jennings all Alaskans and all leaders in the Alaska bar before becoming Judges.
 While The Empire has no candidate foi Judge, it is fair to say that there are among the applicants for the First Division Judgshr lawyers who fall far short of the qualifications of these former Judges It is a big position thai is to be filled and the salary is $10,000 year For that salary the President ought to be able to get big man for the place.

Women as Diplomats.
Chicago Journal


 Recent appointments of American women to responsible positions in the Diplomatic and Con sular Services draw attention to the way woman is working into the Government. One was ap- pointed by the recent n-Amercan Conference to service on it's commission for framing an in ternational code of women's rights in all the republics of the three Americas Another repre- sents this country as a Consul in Argentina, another is Consular Agent at Shanghai.
 This recognition of women in foreign service is not peculiar to the United States. Bulgaria, France and Russia place women in the diplomatic field Russia has had women Ministers to Sweden and Mexico and they seem to have man aged matters as well as would have done.
 England does not place women in it's Con sulates and it's diplomatic berths, and two women in Parliament demand to know why. These par liamentary Rosa Dartles-"I only want to know, you know'-are Ellen Wilkinson and Nancy As tor. They recently heckled Secretary Chamber lain of the Department of Foreign Affairs after a fashion that taxed his diplomatic ability to an- swer. He declared that present circumstances make appointment to foreign posts a problem of expediency, not question of sex.
 The harassed diplomat slipped away from the women dexterously leaving them in the dark as to the future
