.EX-H0OSIER IS
MENTIONED AS
G. 0. P. LEADER
CIaudiUs Huston, Hoover
Aid, Boosted for National
Craftsmanship.

Bg EcripBs- Ho'c0vf AetrsD1per Alliance
WASHINGTON. July 2.-Claudius
H. Huston Of Chattanooga and New
York is being mentioned for chair
man Of the Republican national
committee, although little enthusi-
ssm Is being manifested for him
among the Republicans.
Huston, a HoOsier BY birth, has
been mentioned for some position
4 or another ever since Herbert Hoo
yer launched his campaign for the
4 presidency. but so far he remains
outside the Official family.
The Huston name has ben linked
with Hoover s because Huston was
formerly an assistant secretary Of
commerce when Hoover was the
cabinet member in charge Of that
department.
Both. Hoover and Huston were
named by President Warren @.
Harding and Hoover associates time
and again have emphasized that
while the two are close friends and
Huston has been very helpful IN
promoting Hoover, Hoover has not
felt called upon to give Huston any
high political houors.
Huston was first mentioned as
southern director Of the Hoover
campaign The place was given to
Colonel Horace Mann. who has been
said by some to be Huston man.
Huston was mentioned for a cab
met position when Hoover was
elected. When the cabinet was Sc
lected and Hustons name was left
off he was next mentioned for the
baby cabinet of assistant secreta-
ries. Then Huston was mentioned
for a diplomatic post.
After appointment after appoint
ment had been made without Hus-
tons name being attached the en-
thusiasm over the Tennesseean's
chances diminished and gradually
died altogether
When DR. Hubert Work announced
his resignation as chairman of the
Republican national committee nu-
merous names were put forward as
his possible successor. Huston S
has been one of the last to come out
and is considered by those who are
well-infOrmed to be the last likely
20 be given consideration.

 This is one of the outstanding wonders o1 the world thing prmeva, getting down to the very genesis of the earth and explaining largely Wny all Westward Alaska is even today land of profound changes with coast line constantly altering and islands rising up only to sink again
 Strange indeed it s that the great natural pheno- menum has been passed up by tourist boomers who generally are willing sell the paper off the wall if they can get crowd to come and it. Steamship routes have great deal to do with it beyond that no one has had the courage provide the trails and hotel accommodations that the modern tourist demands
 But the thing must inevitably come. Westward Alaska has beauty and lure all it's own. The long arm of the peninsula has the greatest collection of active volcanoes all the earth, according to the very good word of Dr. Jaggers who has studied them al
 This is another time when wish the promoter would enter the land The proposition requires capf tai and much publicity but it's dollars to doughnuts that proper financing and exploitation of the scenic wonders of Westward Alaska will bring ample re- turns Steamship lines will perforce change their rout- ings or new lines will go into service and thousands of globe trotters who claim that they have the world will get new thrill

DECENT TREATMENT FOR DOGS

It is gratifying to note that the cit" authorities are taking proper steps to improve the city's method of harboring stray dogs. Such condi- tions at the dog pound as were permitted to continue if the city has a spark of that humane proclivity which should be the possession Of every civilized community
 For a long time City Hall has had monthly bills to pay which originat- ed from the deg warden. These bills have been high. but they were paid under the assumption that there were many homeless dogs in the city and that campaign 10 get rid Of them would not be a bad thing, No further attention was given to the dog situation until residents near the dog pound complained Of the in humanity prevalent in caring for the animals Ultimately these complaints attained sufficient publicity 10 de- mand proper action by the authori- ties
 The opening of the dog pound by indignant vigiantes and the attempt ed burning Of that nondcscript pen was a further indication of popular discontcnt with the method Of dog disposal, Direct action such as this deplorable as it may have been from a legal standpoint al least served to emphasize conditions and stimulated ! the appointment of a committee tc see what all the rumpus was about. { Now it appears likely that the city will have an improved dog disposa i system with q deg pound worthy i the city's prestige This may he 2 minor accomplishment. but it is one very much worth while. Unfortunate dogs which must he disposed of have not been convicted of high crime' and misdomeanors requiring punish, ment and torture This function O the city should he conducted on a,
 high a plane consistent with th' progrossiyeness of the city as an,
 other function.

HOW RAILROADS DODGE

A railroad, under the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Cemmis- sion and the law the commission seeks to interpret and put into ef- feet. cannot buy any other railroad it might wish to obtain. Some of them have been ordered to cease and desist as not conforming their practices with the spirit of the Sherman antitrust law.

The Pennsylvania. quick 10 see the. value of a separate corpor- ation owned by the same stockhold- CTS as own the Pennsy, formed the Pcnnroad corporation. Stockholders of the Pcnnsy subscribed sS7.O00,- 0O0 to the new concern when the books were opened. Yet the Pennsy and the Pcnnroad Corporation in 1 law remain two entirely separate concerns.
 The Pennroad Corporation. not l legally being the same as the Penn. l sylvana railroad, has been busy ac. i quiring properties which the Penn. sylvania mana cement itself could not purchase on account of probable opposition by the l. C. C. Officers of the Pennsylvania are also officer! of the Pennroad Corporation. | Formation of such separate cor porations have only one purpose - to set at naught the restrictions i'm posed by the l. C.
