Boycotting Highway Advertisers.
(New York Times.)


 In Hawaii the ladies drove the billboards from the landscape according to the latest report of the chairman of the committee on rural and highway advertising of the General Federation of Womens s Clubs. Their method the simple one of con- yncing Hawaii's merchants that they would not buy products advertised bilboards. It may be that Hawaii is more awake to the value of it's scenic beauty than are our own States But if the pledge which the Garden Club of Am erica has endorsed is widely accepted the women of America may successfully follow the example of their Hawaiian sisters "As practical protest against the dissertation of counryside it reads T shall favor those products not advertised on the landscape"
 This is simple and sound. The chief difficulty is to fix it in the minds of the ladies. Too many of them have 50 long been revolted by obnoxious biboards that they do not even remember what products they have thus advertised.
 If only the billboard advertisers, small and large, would pause to realize the significance of these two apparently contradictory observations they would per- ceve that either points to the futity of continued Haunting of the public wishes in this matter. There is time and place for all things The place for billboard advertising certainly is not along our highways.

That was a rather nice distinction raised by the Mancheter Guardian when it said of Lord Rose bery:
 He would have done better a Con-
 servative leader rather in advance of his
 party than as Liberal leader rather behind
 his party.
 The famous English newspaper is right in as sumng that there is a difference between a con- servative radical and a radical conservative It is probably true that Lord Rosebery would have gone further along the road of political leadership a radical Conservative than he went a conservative Liberal Perhaps that would be true with many. We have instances in the United States where radical conservatives have met with great political success who would probably have failed con- servative radicals We might mention, ex- ample par excellence the late President Rooevelt. Gen Dawes Ambassador to Great Britain, is radi- cal conservative. Gen. Wood so regarded and so is former Gov Lowden
 However, The Empire must admit a greater de- gree of confidence in the balance and efficiency of the conservative radical He may be less likely to get opportunity to serve the public but when he gets the opportunity he is likely to go further and in better order President Wilson was a conservative radical. So Senator Underwood. Also President Cleveland John Fisk, for genera yard one of the great lights of American letters, conservative radical. It is great company of sound thinkers. rassl ss sasas.
 Usually, however, the radical conservative wins elections the conservative radical In the late American election MT Hoover was the radical con- servative and Gov. Smith the conservative radical.

ALASKA PRIDE IN GEN. SUMMERALL.

The general praise that has been bestowed upon
 President Hoover for retaining Gen. Charles P.
 Summeral Chief of Staff of the United States Army is pleasant reading to those Alaskans who knew him when as Capt. Summerall he sta- tioned at Skagway in 1902 and 1903 in command of the troops of that place He highly regarded as one who knows well his business and attends to it always is He took his position and life gen. erally rather seriously, and military officers and others who knew him predicted that he would go far soldier if fate should deal opportunity to him.

 What spells married life for many men is the way their wives keep re- minding them what fools they are.
 Times and customs change. There is hardly a thing the modern girl does her mother wouldn't have been ashamed to have done when she was that age, and the modern girl would be just as ashamed now to wear the kind of stockings and un- dies her mother wore at her age.
 It doesn't surprise wife that her husband is cad enough to lead a double life, but it does surprise her to find that any other woman is fool enough to fall for him.
 Nobody can be any more clever than pretty widow, nor anybody quite so dumb as an average wid- over
 The reason mother can go around with bare arms and dad doesn't dare sit around in his shirt sleeve is because fashion says it is all right for mother to dress that way and mother says it isn't all right for father to even shed his coat.

The Democratic Dinner.
(New York World.)

Nothing momentous is at stake in the refusal of Senator Simmons, Senator Blease and other South ern Democrats to attend the dinner that is to be given in honor of MT Raskob on Monday evening. There is certainly no law requiring Democrats to attend dinner which they would prefer not to at tend. There is no law requiring them to promote the harmony of their party at the price of com promise with any convictions they may hold and there is no law requiring them to retain the serv- ices of Mir. RaSkob Natona, Chairman if they can persuade a majority of the National Committee to agree with them that the party is being led in the wrong direction, assuming that it is being led at all.
 It will doubtless be very pleasant dinner Sen- ator Simmons will have as much fun in staying away from it as Senator Pat Harrison in attending it. A number of emphatic things will be said about resusctatng the party with new issue (unde- 1lned) and restoring the Democracy to power. And the enigma of what the Democratic Party is and what 1t can become will remain as inscrutable as

peace and when the World War broke he was naturally given an important command. Few, if any of the American General Officers took more active part in the actual fighting on the Western Front He was specially noted for aggressive effic- iency, discriminating ability and industry He kept his army moving and, by the way he moved the enemy backward consistently as he crowded his own men. Kill em All" Summerall was nick name that bestowed upon him at that time, yet, it is claimed and not disputed that he was careful and thoughtful of his men. They were all proud of their commander and they liked him as well as they admired him.
 Many Alaskans who remember Gen. Summeral well take pride in the record he has made at the head of the army He has two years to serve before reaching the retirement age at GA years.

TWO ARE ACCUSED
OF $4,000 FRAUD
Promoters Are Charged With False
Claims on Benefits From
Boulder Dam.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 13.-Two men
were held in $4,000 bonds today on
charges of defrauding a Fort Wayne,
Ind, physician Of approximately $176,-
600 in a California land scheme, In
which the Boulder dam development
played leading part.
The promoters, w. L. Irwin and L.
c. Connor, were alleged by DR.. M. F.
Schick to have induced him to invest
in desert land by prophesying in
glowing terms the benefits to be de-
rived from the land in few years from
irrigation afforded by Boulder Dam. DR..
schick later discovered. he said, that the
land was too high to receive any benefit
from the dam and that the sale was
consummated through misrepresenta-
tions.
DR.. Schick said he bought 10000
acres 200 miles from Los Angeles for
81 an acre, later finding that Irwin and
Connor had purchased 1t from the
Southern Pacific Railroad for so cents
an acre. Later, the complainant said,
he bought $4,000 acres In three par
GELS, paying 81 so an acre for two tracts
and Sits for the third. This land, in
the Coachella Valley, was bought by Ir-
win and Connor, DR.. Schick alleged, for
SO cents and IS cents, respectively.
In another purchase, DR.. Schick said,
he bought town site" for $50 an acre
and $4,000 for Improvements" The
town at present consists Of railroad
shack and is known as "Durmid." Irwin
and Connor weref reported to have paid
SIS per acre for this tract and nothing
for improvements" the doctor charged.
Irwin and Connor were arraigned
Yesterday before a United States COM
missioner for making rnisrepresenta-
tions by mail and ordered held In
bonds.
