NEW YORK. Dec. l2.-tP)-Al-
though baseball has hardly gotten
settled in winter quarters, there
isn't any room left for speculation
over the list Of 1929 major league

only remaining doubtful districts.
The rival Brooklyn factions seem
hopelessly desdlocked. SO much so
that they cannot even get together
to talk over their differences. Mean
while Robinson, as president and
manager, holds executive control
and a contract that has another year

all, perhaps. in Boston. where Jack
Sharkey and Jim Maloney develop
again as heavyweight contcnders
after having hit the chutes over q

Through the early stages Of 1927
Sharkey and Maloney moved along
impressively as two Of the youngest

LarbOr and the Candidates.
New York World. )

Delegates representing twenty-two railroads electrical and transport workers organizations meeting in Washington last week, decided not to indorse either Mir. Hoover TO Mr Smith for the Presidency. Each international union left free to take separate action if it liked. but few if any likely to do The result has been reported to the Executive Council of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, which at it's first days meeting at Atlantic City also strongly inclined to mentality The spirit of the late Samuel Gompers is still powerful in labor circles. He saw in early life what political partisanship did to ruin the Knights of Labor and he wished labor in general to go no further than supporting it's friends and attacking its enemies irrepesctive of party.
 This policy labor definitely followed in the preconvention campaign this year. Some unions, notably the railroad brotherhoods more or ination of MT Hoover and against the nomina- ton of MT Dawes Union sentiment much more favorable to the nomination of Gov Smith with his progressive labor record than of his rivals. As between Mir. Hoover and Mr Smith, the labor leaders indicated strict neutrality This year there obviously exists no such compelling reason made the American Federation of Labor Executive Council declare for Woodrow Wilson in 1916. He had just signed the Adamson act, and his Clayton act was a long step toward abolishing the injunction weapon against labor. Both enactments were under fire and labor came to their aid
 Except under such extraordinary conditions as in 1916, labor's entry into politics is risky and also largely ineffective The unions are full of men too strongly Republican and too stronly Democratic to take voting orders from anybody. This is as it should be. The inter- ests Of the country best met when the citi- zens vote as individuals. not as labor bocs. farmers blocs, church blocs or employers bocs As an individual the union member can decide for himself which candidate is best

DIR. BUTLER CAUSES NO SURPRISE

The repudiation of Mir Hoover's position on Prohibition by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. Pres- dent of Columbia University, will not prise. The Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol stead Act completely at variance with Dr. Buffers conception of authentic Federal func- tionng that the Kansas City platform and the announced opinions of Mir. Hoover and Senator Curtis must necessarily seem outrageous to him. For long time he has insisted that Prohibition furnished the overshadowing issue in the United States and, while lifelong Republican, he de- clared over and over again during the year pre- cedng the National Convention, to which he was a delegate that unless the Republicans re- pudiated Prohibition they would lose the Presi- dential election. He took that position in his debate with Senator Borah at Boston and on many other occasions
 Dr. Butler has been a very prominent pub licist and Republican for great many years ever since. in fact he succeeded Dr. Seth Low as President of Columbia In the Republican National Convention in 1920 he received New Yorks vote for the Presidential nomination unti the break to Senator Harding came

TRIBUTES TO GEORGE BRENNAN.

That was a rather high tribute from the Chicago Tribune, the leading Republican paper of the West, when it said that George Brennan was an able and honest man, "a loyal of the City who has tried to make political exped- iencies square with the public good" But it was true and, therefore, deserved It is refresh ing to note many testimonials to the worth Of this Chicago citizen who called himself a ''politician" appearing in the press.
 George Brennan rendered Chicago and Illinois fine services we'll serving the Democratic Party of which he the Illinois leader with great ability and skill. It Brennan trained in the political school of Roger Sullivan that saved the Chicago bench from becoming a part of the Thompson political machine and gave the City non-partisan judiciary, composed of Democratic and Republican lawyers of the highest character. It Brennan that gave the City the Mayor Dever Administration which as the New York World says, called by Hong list of Republican business men in Chicago who asked his Mayor Devers1 reelection the "clean- est and ablest Chicago Administration in q gen. eration"

 The worst of it is that the Prince seems to be tactly countenancing the practice of Ameri- cans, who, of course, cannot be expected to know better.

JARDINE STANDS FOR DEVELOPMENT
 MAY HE COME AGAIN.

Secretary Jardine says he has enjoyed his visit to Alaska immensely and that he has gained information that will be useful for him in the discharge of his duties a Cabinet officer. He has committed himself without reservation to the development of the pulp and paper business prospect for it's early and successful inauguration,
 All of which is gratifying to the people of Alaska who have met and learned to like the Cabinet officer. Secretary Jardine already has done good work in Selling" Alaska to those interested in the pulp and paper industry. He has backed the efficient, energetic and excellent bunch of men who constitute his Forestry Bureau far Alaska is concerned to the limit, His speech at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon makes it plain that he will continue to do
 When the time that Southeast Alaska shall have a sufficient population to make the State of Alaska practicable, Secretary Jardine's will be included among those that have made it possible. So will be the of others of the Alaska District of the U S. For esry Bureau, which is of the important branches of the Department of Agriculture.

Seattle mother who killed her little boy to save him from sn has been sent away to an asylum. She said the world was so full of evil that she could not face the prospect of al- lowing her son to grow up in it's atmosphere
 Ths poor mothers sad lot is the result of the continual accusation, by people who ought to Know better, that all the world is bad and that God created evil and flooded the earth with 1t. If you tell people, often enough that they are steeped in sin, they will come to believe it.
 And what a sorry state of mind it is! How tragic it is that anyone looking out on tbe bright busy, happy world, should miss all the beauty and goodness and only the few specks Of sin. Is man evil? Then there are a thousand who are good. Is one home wrecked ? Then there are million in which folks are joyous with the thrill of living Is there a crime Tn the city? Then there are, to balance if thousands of kindly deeds

More or Less True

 The only man who can be grouchier than the one who is having trouble with his wife is one who is having trouble with a game of golf.
 Still life may be a heap easier for the wife of the man who acts like a hog at the table than it is for the wife of the gent who acts like a bear.
 When you see a married man stop at a press -'em- while-you-wait joint on the way home from work it is pretty sure sign he has a heavy date with his wife that evening.
 The old-fashioned woman, whose wedding ring stayed on her finger from the day it was put on till the day of her death. now has a daughter whose ring stays on un- til she takes it off to put on an- other one.
 A thrifty guy is one who looks for a widow because she already has an engagement and wedding ring, a home and her first hus- bands life insurance money to give them start.
 You can tell by looking at a man whether he will use his handkerchief to dry his face on if the guest towel is the only one hanging on the rack.
 You have to be either mighty rich or perfectly contented to go without heap of things to stick to a resolution to pay cash for everything.
