JAN TAKES ALEUT NATIVE
 SOUTH; INJURED

Wo was received in yesterday s
 at the Coast Guard cutter
 which went to the aid of
 Ail1N ay three weeks ago. wh T la5 nip was in distress near Uni nek Pass, took on her return to
 ltle, Ensente Telegec, sixty-two, a rative Aleut, who had dislocate3 j fis slloulder at Alitak some few days ,efore the cutters appearance at tch Harbor.
 1 native was taken to Seattle Ecs eatment, there being no med cal aid other than that within the ca pa bi ities of the Government nurses stationed at one or two sta tions among the Aleutian Islands. For the cutter to steam to Seward or some other port on the Alaskan coast with the injured man would have necessitated several hundreds of miles of extra running. It is un- derstood that the man will return to the north on a vessel of the Coast Guard, in the spring.
 It was Telegec's first trip Out side" and it is said that despite the pain that he was suffering, he showed great interest in 'it all when he was being taken from the ship to the hospital.

ALLOWAY SEAMAN NOT INSANE ;"
 OUT FOR MONEY

That the insane" seaman who refused to leave the abandoned AL loway with the master and crew when they left the supposed sinking ship about three weeks ago, near Unimak Pass. was not as insane as some thought. was proven beyond any doubt when he finally reached Seattle on the cutter Chelan, which ship went to the aid of the stricken vessel.
 James L. Posey was the sea- man and on reaching the states he appeared as mentally healthy as one could expect from a man brain to think with under condi- who follows the sea and uses his tions that the landsman is not call ed upon to cope with. He said when questioned: T know they thought I was crazy, but was out for money. I thought I could sal wage the ship alone.' This state ment was made to reporter of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and appeared in the newspapers The Chelan, after reaching the scene, took the Alloway in tow, but
 later lost her. The vessel strand
 ed on the Unimak beach under a
 100-foot cliff, and is fast breaking
 up, it is reported

Within the past year twenty residents Of Browns
vile have gone to the Pasteur Institute at Austin for
treatment as the result of having been bitten by dogs
infeced with rabies. 60 One day last week five persons
were reported to have been bitten, all of whom, it is
understood will be compelled to take the treatment.
The city is infested with NANCY, worthless ours,
each a potential menace to life or health Of scores
citizens. In the outskirts Of the city they can be seen
in great numbers, thin, diseased, eking out a miser-
able existence on such scraps or offal as they may
find. Their diseased, emaciated condition renders
them more subject to rabies than the well-fed,
healthy dog. They serve no useful purpose and their
extinction would be a humane act.
The city has an ordinance requiring all dogs to
be licensed, but has no means of enforcing this ordi-
nance. Enforcement would require a dog pound and
employment of a pound keeper, the owner OF an un-
licensed dog TO be given the opportunity to redeem
the animal after it is captured. Shooting Of dogs is
not permitted under the state law until the owner
has been given an opportunity to pay the license and
such penalties as may be fixed by city ordinance.
This h~andicaps the city police force In their efforts
to reduce the number of worthless dogs, as practi-
cally every dog has an owner who insists that the
animals Is extremely valuable.
Conditions in Brownsville have reached the point
where it is necessary that something be done to elm
mate the menace Of life and health. If the police
and health departments are so handicapped by the
state laws, it is obvious that the city must stand the
expense u toldUILoLl4nB d uOs pOuIlu anu ohpoyAs
O pound master and dog catcher. Whenever owner
less dogs can be found they can be shot without the
necessity Of placing them in the pound.
The city ordinance requiring the licensing of dogs
Is a dead letter. Less than a dozen licenses have been
issued since the ordinance was passed several years
ago. and licenses will not be secured until the city
is in position to enforce the law. The cost OF estab-
fishing the pound and enforcing the city ordinance
would be infinitesimal in comparison with the cost
N uyhipb rasidepfr Of the city baUa hnap Subjected in
securing treatment TO prevent the development of
rabies, and it is very apparent that conditions have
reached the point which will permit Of no delay in
eliminating the dog menace.

Hoover AS a Party Builder

President Hoover, in his role of party builder, has
thrown in the discard the old republican organization
head in the states of South Carolina, Georgia and
Mississippi. He has accepted the Creager plan OF
building through the use Of patronage and influence
the two party systems in the southern states which
landed in the republican column in 1923.
He has let 1t be known that he looks upon all the
new converts in southern states as republicans, and
he has been given assurances that thousands Of these
converts will affiliate with the republican party in
coming campaigns.
Republican patronage brokers, black and white, IN
these old south states and Texas have been thrown
in the ditch and the Texas Colonel has assurances
that his plan Of building a thorough going republican
party in every one Of the old south states has re-
ceived the sanction Of the president.
This makes it interesting all along the political
fighting line. 1t is a hint that there is to be an ag-
gressive organization created for the republican party
in states which were thought to be hopeleSsly demo-
cratic before the upheaval of November last.

The Once Over
THE BANANA CRISIS
BY e. I. PHILLIPS

AAAI AANNA@N
Panama and other Central American countries
are stirred by the proposal for a higher duty on ba-
nanas. Their newspapers ask what they are 10 un-
derstand when a country processes good VIII VIII
one hand and tries to smack the banana industry
with the other.
Feeling is running high in Latin-America over the
matter and diplomats fear a possible severlng OF re-

Shall the banana go? That seems TO be the oueS-
ton.
X this noble fruit to become a luxury? Is IT TO
be made 50 difficult to obtain that 1t may eventually
be obtained only from spectators? Is America 70
put the seal of Endorsement on banana prohibition?
These are fair questions to which the answer
Who wants to know?" will not suffice.
The banana has come to occupy a high place IN
American life. 1t has become endeared to people in
all walks Of life. What would a fruit basket be with
out one? How about the shoe-box lunch for the sun
day outing? What would the church picnic, the Ford
excursion. the children's party be without bananas?
What? And again what?
What would the suitcase lunch, the sideboard
fruit dish, the pantry or the corner fruit store be Il
it had no bananas? What would vaudeville hunor be
without them? What would bananales5 newspaper
columns be like? Where would the popular song bus
mess of 1923-24-25 have been?
Bananas have been symbols of life and laughter
They have meant spring and hand-organs and pic
and jokes about policemen. They have been Lit
tie Willie's reward for bringing in the wood and Sis

And now it is proposed to levy such a high duty
on them that it may be necessary to smuggle them
into the country and handle them through banana
bootleggersl

A very important bulletin has been issued by the
federal department of commerce giving the figures
on the manufacture of cotton goods collected at the
biennial census in 1927.
A total Of l,347 establishments manufacturing cot
ton goods in the United States was shown by the re-
port. Only 25 were located in Texas. This placed
Texas tenth among the states in number Of textile
manufacturing plants. North Carolina led with S74
establishments. Massachusetts, and South Carolina
had 1853 each. Georgia had 139. North Carolina has
more than a fourth of all the plants manufacturing
cotton goods IN the United States.
And the figures show that Massachusetts,, which
hid $4,000 more wage earners employed in its cotton
mills in 1925 than did North Carolina in 1927 had
5000 less than North Carolina. incidentally Massa-
chusetts also surrendered the leadership in cotton
manufactures TO North Carolina.
North Carolina landed in the republican column
IN 1923. There was a reason fer it. North CAROLYN
ians are taking kindly to the republican doctrine Of
protection "of American industries and American
labor"
