Huston Hangs On

Those who are enjoying the senate committee ex-
posures of Chairman Huston of the Republican ma
tionaI committee are the Democrats.
Just around the corner is the congressional cleo
ton campaign. Everything has been going the Demo-
Gratis way recently with the London naval con-
feernce mpasse the tariff mess, prohibition skidding,
business depressons, and other administration
troubles
And now that all Of this is iazzed up by skeleton
in the Republican family closet, the Democrats are
happier than they have been in years
Keep Huston at the head of the Republican organ
zation by all means say the Democrats-the longer,
the better.
In his accommodating way, Huston to agree.
At least he denies he is going to resign. Ali that the
senate committee has uncovered far is that he has
the active head of lobby organization trying to get
Muscle Shoals for the American Cyanamide Company,
that he Kept no record OF funds handled that he and
the Union Carbide Company disagree to whether
he was given $4,000 tor lobbying for maps, that
he temporarily diverted lobby funds to his private
brokerage account to buy stocks Margin and that
he generally has been "indscreet' to use the mild
term applied by his friends
The young guard" Republicans can not see It
Hustons way or the Democrats way. Huston can not
be kicked too to suit them. They think the
G. O. P has enough troubles without carrying along
a suspect chairman.
The Republican "oIo guard may feel the same
about 1t, but they not saying so. They wouldn't
They were silent in face Of the Harding administra-
ton scandals Their strategy now, apparently, is to
hope that The Huston fuss will die down, permitting
him later to slip out quietly.
The actual decision as to whether Huston departs
suddenly or otherwise will have to be made by PreSi-
dent Hoover. as head OF the Republican party.

of the most exciting phases

.nNE of the most exciting phases
~ Of modern scientific research is
the progress made in archaeology
within recent wears. Much OF the
progress has come since the World
war.
This has been due in part to the
fact that Psychologists have been
able to enter territory since the war
which formerly was closed to them.
1t is interesting to note how arch
eologiSts have found the actual sites
of many places mentioned in the
literature of antiquity, places which
many had thought we're lost forever.
Among the most interesting re-
searches have been those carried on
at the site Of Or of the Chaldees.
mentioned in the Bible and reputed
to have been the home of Abra ham.
Ur lies about lao miles south of
Babylon on a bend Of the Euphrates
river, close to the low hills which
form the edge OF the Arabian desert.
The site possessed extreme strate-
gic value in past days, commanding
communications on both the Eu-
pirates and Tigris rivers. 1t was
also close enough to the sea to serve
as a connecting link between the
commercial traffic Of the desert and
the sea.
Researches at Ur were begun in
1854 by Taylor, but we're inter
rupted. It was not until after the
World war that extensive researches
were begun by Hall.
They since have been carried OF
by c. Leonard Woolley, field direc-
tor OF Joint expedition of the Uni
versi-z- of Pennsylvania museum and
the British museum.

Read l. Kings 1919 Memory
verse: What doest thou here, Eli
jah?" Il. Kings 1919
MEDITATION
Elijah was taking himself too Sc
riously. In an hour of discourage
ment he had crept into the cave on
the side of Mount Horeb He was
tired ard blue and fearful. His
nerves had given way and his sense
of proportion had vanished. He
seemed to feel that the entire burs
den of sustaining the cause of
Jehovah was resting on his shoul-
ders. But God told him otherwise.
The cause of the true God would go
on whatever happened TO the
prophet. No one is equipped for the
strain of serious work in this world
unless he has the ability at times
to laugh at himself God lays upon
no man the task of saving or Of
reforming the world. He only asks
each to do his part.
PRAYER
Out OF the depths may we hear
Thy voice, as a Father, calling us TO
arise. With cords of love and hope
and faith draw us out Of all our
WEAKNESS and despair. and estab-
lish our steps in the paths Of
strength and conquest, for our LIES
sake. Amen.

Editor Times-A short time ago g.
certain educator at Indiana lniver-
sity gave expression to the follow
ing: "A mans freedom consists
solely in the thoughts he thinks"
Now If that is true land it may
be for all I know there have been
and are still a few million people
who think differently. for one am
inclined to agree with the doctors
statement, for the reason that in
my case at least my freedom con-
sists partly in thought, and partly
in action.
My freedom Is going about from
store to store and from factory to
factory seeking employment and be-
ing told, sometimes rather CURLY,
that I'm too old.
Then another phase of our
boosted freedom consists in being
told, sometimes rather roughly, by
officers of the law to move on" If
we hapen TO meet an acquaintance
on the street
Ten years ago when We had a
common meeting place where we
could gather, things were better.
But now, thanks TO freedom" we
must meet a friend on the street,
and then comes the officer to say,
you are overstepping the bounds
Of freedom. Move on"
Well, we live until we die. Then
we shan't need any more freedom"

 Part of the record run is now 40 miles or more up the river but the jam in the straits had not Iessened. Except for two brief periods, commercial fishing in the United States and Canada, along the straits have been Idle since septeber 5th, waiting for the fish to escape.

When the fighters got tired, more than a dozen people lay wounded, including the bride. Dressing the wound ed required five hours. Eight guests were arrested.

As Others See
 Fish Treaty
From Bellingham Herald

The hearing held at Seattle
 on the proposed sockeye salmon
 treaty between Canada and the United States emphasizes tht need of international regula- tion of the Puget Sound and British Columbia fishing indus try as the only effective means of preventing it from going to Davey Jones locker.
 The treaty already has been ratified by Canada but has been laid up in the United States senate on account of opposit on from certain United States ti3h- cries interests.
 In 1912 the sockeye salmon gave to the Pacific Northwest Z, 100000 cases of salmon, with a value of $4O,O0O,OOO, whereas last year the yield was 170,000 cases. The belated run of sock eyes this season prevented the 1880 pack from being lower than that of 1929, but dispite the heavy take over a brief period, the industry is still small as compared with what it was a few years ago.
 In any event, a sincere at tempt should be made to bull l up the fisheries of the North west to a point approaching their value in the heydC.i nf the
 big runs" The hope of the :n- luatTv lies in the fact thao the and packers them selves are agreed that only by 5trict regulation can this inpor- 5ant resource be rehabilitated. To permit the treaty to be de- defeated would be equivalent to executing the goose that lays the golden spawn.

At the Coliseum

The story of Night Clubs" the Great Stars and Authors" talk ing motion picture from Para mount, follows the pattern of a chain, being a series of nearly links, all of which fit together to give color, atmOS- phere, and irony of those mid night to morning entertain ment places which simmer in the bright lights of Broadway.
 Mrs. Grady is a maid in a Broadway cabaret, and through the door into the room comes a continuous parade of Broadway butterflies, girls of all types, while Mrs. Grady watches them in the private moments when they lay aside their masks. Out side, one sees a steady parade of entertainment, presenting the most famous names of Broadway as they do their specialties for the night club crowd. Also out side the door of this room is all the gayety, music dancing, wise cracking, love-making of the jazz age.
 These, in a few words, are some of the highspots of the story of Night Club" Filmed as talking picture, it brings to the screen such realism as has never before been seen or heard, for the real Broadway enter tainerS depict Broadway night life as they, themselves, see it nightly. Realism emphasized, by Paramount Quality Sound re-
 cording.

 "Pusher in the face" another of
 the same series will be seen and

Kicking up Another
 Oil Scandal

Chairman Nye of the Senate Lands Committee said last week he thought Ralph s. Kelly, for mer chief of the federal land of flee at Denver, was quite tho roughly justified" in his charges of maladministration of Cobra do oil shale lands.
 The North Dakotan had con- ferred more than an hour with Kelley.
 He expressed hope that the Department of Justice would take full and speedy action.
 The former officials eXplana- ton convinced Nye, Secretary Wilbur was not responsible for the alleged improper handling of the oil lands, he said, but someone was responsible and he should be questioned.
 "Kelly's charges do not go to the door of Secretary Wilbur" the senator said. "There is a door to which his objections lead and this door should be opened"
 Kelly resigned last week but Secretary Wilbur refused to ac- cept the resignation and sus- pended him pending inquiry in to the charges.
 The Denver man charged that concession after concession" had been made to large oil com panies in the Colorado shale fields, billions of dollars of he asserted, were the of illegal attempts for possession.
 T can't help but be impressed by the spirit moving Kelly at this stage" Nye said. T think he is entitled to a thorough hearing"

Girnn Reaper Takes
 Toll at Sitka

The many friends and rela-
 tives of MT. and Mrs. Raymond
 James of Sitka will be sorry tC
 learn that their daughter Annie
 Lena James was taken beyond
 the vale oft ears on the 22nd day of October at her home.
 Annie was a fine girl and a very good student, winning the right to appear in the rhetorical contest at the convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood last year as the Sitka school con- testant. She took sick, however, with the flu and was unable to make the trip. Every effort was made to bring her health back to normal, being placed under .he care of the nurse in Sheldon Jackson School. Nothing was left undone and no expense spared to have her regain health and strength. But dropSy deye- loped and the weakened condi- tion made her an easy victim to vhe ravages of tuberculosis.
 Annie was beloved by all of her teachers, and schoolmates. She had a sunny disposition and 2 clean christian character. When death approached, with full realization of the end, she had no fear. She only prayed TOT strength to stand the pain and she passed away with a prayer on her lips for Divine guidance and help for her fami- ly in their pain and sorrow.
 The Bureau school honored her by fylng the nag al nall mast and dismissing the child ren 50 that they might attend the funeral. The Sheldon Jack con School also dismissed classes and permitted the children to pay their last respects to their beloved class and school mates.
 Passes out of the life of our people a girl who also had a brilliant future and whose strength of character and de- termination would have made her a leader of her age. The Alaska Native SiSterhood and the Alaska Native Brotherhood m their various camps extend the hand of fellowship and sym pathy to the parents in their hour of sorrow.
