(Fairbanks- News-Miner.)

Five men almost miraculously es- capped serious injury yesterday: after noon when the gas car in. which they were travelling plunged off the bridge which spans Goldstream creek near Dunbar and landed fifteen feet below.

The wooden body was practically demolished, but none of the jagged splinters which stood out from all sides impaled the passengers or engineer

FOREIGN COMMENT

Whenever Americans are en- srossed in d subject of paramount domestic importance the comment of foreign newspapers, if any. is comment on American politics. how ever. is likely to be naive and the conclusions arrived at frequently cause laughter In the first place it is difficult for foreigners to under stand our political system, the union of 4S sovereign states with their carefully designated powers over lapped by the federal government. With reference 10 personalities, however. the Europeans are more at home. For this reason they could understand the political situation or thought they could-when Hoover was nominated. Hoover's name is widely and favorably known in Europe.

MONDAY AGONY

Monday used to be called blue be cauec that was the day of the week when the boss of the house Wrestled with the family wash. Maybe there were other reasons, but that was the main one.
 Nowadays considerable ot the toll is taken from his weekly job through the use of machinery, N,.ilc a soodly percentage ot families let the laundries do their blue Monday worrying for them.
 But d species of blue Monday is still with us II is the feeling that comes over one upon reading about the multitarlous automobile tragc- dies that occur every weekend and attain prominence in the Monday newspapers,
 Safety first warnings have been uttered and printed by the million. Yet there always are enough foolish persons at large in automobiles every week end to fill the agony de partments in the newspapers every Monday.
 IL must be realized that no news paper prints all the week end acci- dents that happen throughout the entire nation. This would be an i'm possibility for lack of space. All the papers print are those happening within d radius Of about 200 miles, except in the case of particularly horrible tragedies that happen further away.
 It has been estimated by state motor vehicle departments that only five per cent of the drivers at large are reckless. But consider, of 20. | 100. 0U0 lcgist cred cars. how many this happens to be and how muc1 territory they can cover during tbell careening trips over the highways.

 Have you ever wondered just why the Bride blushss as she steps gracefully down the aisle on the arm of her proud Father?
 Don't ask him. He doesn't know. He has forgotten her cXtrayagance and remembers only that she is his little girl-and there is lump in his throat
 Don't ask her match-mahins Mother. She wouldn't recognize a blush if she saw one. She is in the throes Of putting the affair over correctly. Nothing else matters.
 Don't ask her brother. He is of her own generation and he ought to know bettcr, but It thinks his sister is different" and sus- picion of tear glistens in his eyes as he sees her father 50 un- touched leading her toward the altar and the waiting bridegroom.

 And now her ey" falls on Jack. She wore his frat pin for siX months --nith two others,
 Close to the aisle the dreamy face of that young poet meets her gaze reproachfully. She is remembering his passionate poems.
 And there she sees Ted--compan- ion of many petty party tNosone, and opposite lim sits Horace. She toycd with the thought of his mil lions once, and had been burnt by his kisses.

 Our spirit toward raillery causes us to yield the following attempted and alleged answers:
 c. Why is it easier to throw bricks than to lay them ?'
 A. Because all one Deeds Is the law Of grayltation.
 .. "Why picnic party always wants to be seen and heard ?' A. To engender jealousy among those who haven't the day off. e. Why movies are more popu- lar than libraries.
 Because it ie easy 10 ohtaln reading matter without going 10 q library. For instance, subscribing io The Herald.
 Q. "Why abiding by the Consti- tuition of the United States should ever become political issue in a presidential campaign"
 A. The Constitution isn't au ls- sue; the issue is the advisability oi changing 1t and the enforcement act.
 c. Why the protection o' the chance takers Of the streets and highways costt, municipal and state governments more than the prOtec- ton Of similar individuals in insane asyIums ""
 A. Because the insane asylnm gre not large enough to hold all tho chance takers.

REGISTRATION AND VOTERS

The point having been brought up that there are 5,opn.0oD more Re publican voters registered in this country than Democratic voters, what is the use of having an cleo ton. Might as well let the EepubIi- cans have ii on the face of the registration, is the assumption. It is true without a doubt that the registered Republicans are more numerous than the Democrats; but then th" point presents itself that a registration is not an cleo ton. And there is the further fact that the total of party registrations depends somewhat upon the quality of the organization soliciting the re gistrations. In this the Republi cans also have tine advantage in most sections ot the country. Then there in the further fact that q voter registered with Il party is not bound to vote with the party if for some reason he prefers the candidate or candidates on the oppo- sition party. There is no oath con- nected with party registration: the voter merely gives in his name ae i being noninally a Republican or Democrat. H. stii retains his free | dom Of action when he goes into the polling booth and need have no conscientious scruples 10 vote for whatever candidat" he happens 10 favor.
 { Here e an instance close at home: There always have been more registered Republicans than Demo- crats in New Britain Yet Paonessa gets elected regardless. The only cx- plantation is that registered Repub- licans helped to elect the Democrat
 Another peculiar angle of the registration law herc.-aud similar pecuiari'ies probably are Ill evil dence in many another city--is that in the Republican primaries only registered Republicans can vote. In the Democratic primaries. however. any ovter except registered EepUb- ncans arc eligibl" to take part. This rule reduces the necessity Of Dno- crats 0 register with their party.
