Captain Wilkins Flight.
(Tacoma News-Tribune.) )

The great value in the flight of Capt Wilkins rom Point Barrow, Alaska, to Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, lies in the scientific observations which the explorers made. The fact that Capt. Wilkins in all probability did not fly directly across the North Pole does not detract from the importance of the achievement
 feary, Stefanson and McMillan all reported that they had what looked like land" in the Arctic circle, while Cook boldly announced
 his discovery of continent. This part of the
 Arctic circle has remained terra incognita' on the geographic maps. Capt. Wilkins now re- ports that no land seen. "The horizon was
 clear on every side We signs of islands Open water frequently visible" read his dis
 patches.
 The successful Wilkins flight was the result of long and careful preparation as well as skill
 in air navigation and high courage and enter prise Knud Rasmussen, himself an explorer of note pays Wilkins and Carl Eieson his compan- ion, the highest possible tribute when he says They have rendered the North Pole no longer a mystery"

It was with the eye of experienced busi- ness man, a trained transportation official and a capable engineer that E T. stannard viewed the effect of the strikingy improved condition of the Alaska Juneau Mine Very truly, indeed, is it 'the most significant development in Alaska for many years"
 Mir Stannard did not over-state the when he said:
 The Alaska Juneau's development
 this year is of the high lights in
 the Territory's progress and an achieve
 ment of note in which MT. Fred W.
 Bradley and his associates may we'll
 take pride. And it is not temporary
 improvement, as MT. Bradley recently
 told that continued increased op
 eration returns could be counted on as
 being permanent for many years. The
 people of Juneau can properly feel grati-
 fled with the showing of the mine for
 it increased prosperity for this
 community.
 The Alaska Juneau Mine has been the corner stone of Juneaus stability for many years. The assurance that it is to take it's place among the assurance that Juneau stability is built upon a very firm foundation.
 With the Alaska Juneau Mine a proved suc- cess, Juneau's position as a center of the fishing industry strengthened and the certainty that pulp and paper development is on the way. the outlook never so bright fes 1t is' at the threshold of another summer season.

REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT AGAINST EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT.

One of the strongest arguments yet to be made against the Eighteenth Amendment was that presented by the subcommittee of the Con- mttee National Affairs of the National Re- publican Club to which had been referred reso- lution urging the Republican National Conven- tion to adopt plank advocating the amendment of the Eighteenth Amendment so that it would not preclude the Government from engaging in the manufacture sale, transportation exporta- tion of intoxicating liquor Congress from time to time determine. The subcommittee opposed the plank and recommended that the Republican Party should urge the repeal outright of the Eighteenth Amendment. It. contended that the proposed amendment would perpetuate the funda- mental error of the Eighteenth Amendment--the invasion of the rights of the States.
 The committee that prepared the report argu- ing against the proposed amendment and for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, was com posed of Ben L. Fairchild for ten years a Re publican Congressman from New York; Judge w. M. K. Olcott prominent lawyer who Dis trict Attorney for New York County in the 90s when William L. Strong Mayor and later County Judge; Charles P. Spooner, prominent New York lawyer and son of the famous United States Senator John c. Spooner, who began practieing law in Seattle and moved to New York many years ago. and Martin Sake The committee, in its report, among other things said:
 The Eighteenth Amendment should
 not be amended Ii should be repealed
 If the American system of government of
 union of self-goyerning States is to be
 perpetuated, if government of the people,
 by the people and for the people is not
 to perish from the earth, the time has
 come when the public conscience must
 be aroused in opposition to revolutionary
 changes in our form of government al-
 ways sugar-coated with loud observations
 about moral cause. The time has
 come when attention of patriotic Am
 erican citizens shold be directed to a
 profound study of the American system
 of government bequeathed to us by
 the founders of the Republic.
 This is not wet and dry question
 It is a very serious fundamental question
 of which the wet and dry question is
 only an incident T. is as fundamental
 the preservation of the Union
 during the Civil War. When under
 stood, the people of the several States
 as surely as American patriotism is a
 living force will. regardless of their
 convictions either side of the wet and

 stitution of our fathers.

 Amendment was in the entire history of

More or Less True


 Men have their troubles but they don't have to worry about choosing clothes that will make them look like they weighed less than 200. or paint that will make them look under 30. The only thing harder than find ing a good definition of love is 1 finding a good substitute for it. Some legs are a treat and oth- CTS are just a boost for the study of astronomy.
 Father wouldn't mind mother spending all he makes, his kick is that she insists on spending so much more than he makes.
 Paint may add to the looks of a car even if it doesn't make it take the hills any better, but it doesn't even do that much for the girls.
 In this age of self-raising chil- dren the old bothersome question of who should do the spanking has also joined the great army of out-of-date things on the dump. \ We don't believe any of the wo men want to see the hustle come back, but there are plenty of them who would be interested in padding that could be worn on that part halfway down from the back of the knees to the heels.
 The only reason it isn't Dutch treat when some husbands and wives go out together is because friend wife hasn't found any way 'of making a little money of her own on the side, so hasn't any more use for purse than a rab- bit has for a compact.

HOUSTON, June z5. (P)-The Alas ka Delegation came to Houston today strong for Al Smith. While only three Delegates arrived on the Western States special train, Alaska's other three Delegates will be named by proxy by the delegation. One of these is expected to be former Governor Thomas Riggs who has signified his intention of being here.
 Delegates Hellenthal, Shonbeck and Troy had a good trip but their train was five hours behind schedule due to the insistence of the Chambers of Commerce of Kansas City where they stopped for three hours to see sights and at Dallas where they stopped one and onehalf hours to visit the city.
 The Delegates will hold caucus Monday for the purpose of selecting members to the National SCommittee and to other important committees of the convention.
 John w. Troy of Juneau has been asked to serve on the Platform Com mittee but as he served in that capac- ity in New York four years ago he pre- fers someone else to act.
