DOLE SYSTEM UNNEC ESSARY.

Secretary Hyde's characterization as a dole the proposal of Congress to make Federal funds avail able to farmers, stricken by drought for the pur- chase of food for personal use, ought to be seriously considered by the national lawmakers His warning against the experiment, directly to the point, has the backing of the unfortunate exper- fence of those nations which have heretofore tried out unemployment does. They have been found to set premium on unemployment In numerous instances, 1t has been proved that recipients of doles prefer to remain idle on the pttance of public charity they receive than to join the ranks of the employed Of course, this does not hold good for a majority of the unemployed, but it does to extent that it renders the system economi- cally and socially objectionable.
 Why Congress should furnish funds for farmers to buy food with and not other classes of unem- ployed labor puzzl4ng It cannot be question of merit. II class IS to be extended personal succor, all he needy have d right to ask for and receive the same consideration The trade or profession any unemployed person may have fol- lowed does not make particle of difference. If the Congress believes it is its duty to relieve the hungry of the agricultural class, which of all others is in the bes1 position to produce without added cost it's food, it s equally its duty to feed all of the hungry whom the exigences of depression have turned out of jobs and who have no oppor- tunity to produce food for themselves
 The dole system is repugnant to free Americans What they want, and certainly should have, is the opportunity for gainful occupation through which they feed and clothe themselves. Admittedly the Government cannot by law or fiat insure em- ployment for everybody It can by enlarging public building provide employment for some it can make it possible by providing funds for farmers to plant next Springs crops; it can by keeping taxes down encourage business and manufacturers to augment their operations; it cannot by the dole system or any other, give permanent relief

has been so extensive as to hurt American labor and to dim American prestige Congress will be well advised to heed the Presidents recommenda- tion in this instance Politics should not enter into the matter, since neither of the great parties can afford to defend criminality of any sort, nor seek to make political capital by overt sym pathy for criminals who no allegiance this country.
 This matter should not be permitted to be link ed with the proposal to stop all immigration for period of five years which is fostered by some prominent members of both Houses of Congress. President Hoover does not seem to be keen for the latter action. His recommendation is to place more authority in the hands of American officers abroad they prevent aliens, likely to be- come public charges from coming in under the quota system. He would revise the nations immi- grafton laws, making them more flexible more limited and putting them upon selective basis AS he pointed out, Under conditions of current unemployment persons coming to the United States seeking work would likely become either a direct or indirect public charge" Officers issuing visas doing this much possible under the their hands extend their authority, should be written into law by the present Congress. Abso- lute stoppage of immigration for five years is harsh measure and could easily result in deprivng who would make excellent citizens.

DEPORTING ALIEN CRIMINALS.

One of the most timely suggestions in President Hoovers message to Congress, and one not fully covered in brief telegraphic reports at the time dealt with criminals of alien nationality. He said
 I urge the strengthening of depor tation laws to more fully rid ourselves of criminal aliens. Furthermore thousands of persons have entered the country in vio- lation of the immigration laws. The very method of their entry indicated their ob- jectionable character. and our law-abiding foreign residents suffer in consequence. I recommend that the Congress provide meth ods of strengthening the Government to correct this abuse.
 Admittedly this abuse has not been light Il

Northern Airways.
(Prince Rupert Empire.)


 Incorporation of the Northern British Columbia Airways, Ltd, with head office at Prince Rupert places this city firmly the aviation map There is good reason with air travel making such great strides why Prince Rupert should not soon develop into an important aerial center. For time, planes have been flying regularly be- tween Seattle and Alaskan cities There dozens of ways in which service out of Prince Rupert will be found singularly useful. This port, so to speak, is half way house between Vancouver and Seattle and the more northerly points such as Juneau. The great territory around Prince Rupert lends itself admirably to the development of such traffic

FIRE
 RACES NEAR
 HOOVER CAMP
Drought Is Also Brought
 Closer to Attention F of Executive

ORANGE, Virginia, Aug H. Pusy studying the drought situa- tion, President Hoover had the drought brought sharply to his at tention here Saturday afternoon.
 A forest fire was sweeping seven miles from the lodge and as the wind blew the flames toward the Rapidan Camp, a detachment of United States Marines were sent to supplement the efforts of the for est rangers and volunteer fighters. A blaze broke out in a pine grove and the smoke from several smaller fires were clearly visible from the observation tower above Hoover $ cabin.
 President Hoover saw parched fields and rode over dusty roads. Evidence of the drought was visible at the camp, as the flower garden planted and tended by Mrs. Hoov- Ter was brown and scared.

SMITH SHADOW IS IS s U E IN
 THREE STATES
Alabama, Arkansas and Nebraska Democrats Fight 1928 Battle
 Over Again

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. The shadow of Al Smith and his 1928 campaign for the Presidency looms large over the campaigns in three of the four States which will hold primary elections tomorrow-Ala- hama, Arkansas and Nebraska.
 In Alabama John H. Bankhead, son of the late Senator John H. Bankhead and brother of Congress- man William B. Bankhead, will compete with Frederick I. Thomp- son, Mobile newspaper publisher and former member of the United States Shipping Board, for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator. Both Bankhead and Thompson supported Smith in 1928, but one of them will be opposed to Senator J. Thomas Heflin, Demo- crat who bolted the nomination of Gov. Smith and who will run as an independent, in the November election.
 For the first time in more than thirty years there will be contest ing candidates if both the Demo- cratic and Republican Senatorial primaries in Nebraska In the Re- publican primary Senator George w. Norris will be opposed by w. W. Stebbin, State Treasurer, and Aaron Read. In the Democratic primary, Dr. Jennie Callfas, supporter of Hoover in 1928, will be opposed for the Senatorship by former Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, who was a leader for Smith.
 In Arkansas, Senator Joseph T. Robinson has been forced to con- duct strenuous campaign for re- nomination against Roy Campbel, a Little Rock lawyer. who bolted Smiths nomination in 1928.
 Wet CT Damp in Ohio
 For the Democratic primary ia Ohio the fight will be on between the ringing vets and the damps. Former Congressman Robert J. Bulkley of Cleveland, who advocates the repeal of the Ohio enforce ment law and the Eighteenth Amendment, is opposed for United States Senator by former Congress- man George E. Myers, who favors modification of the Volstead Act and the Ohio dry law.
 Senator Roscoe O. McCulloch is unopposed for the Republican Sem atorial nomination in Ohio.

ROBINSON OPENS LATE FIGHT FOR
 ARKANSAS SEAT

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. H. Issues that figured in the presiden- tial campaign two years ago have sprung up in Senator Joe T. Rob- inson's first primary contest in 12 years.
 Launching a campaign barely two weeks before the primary. tomorrow after his opponent, Tom w. Camp bell, Little Rock lawyer, has stump ed practically the entire state, Rob- inson, the Democratic Vice-Presi- dential nominee, came out strongly for National Prohibition. He also recognized the activities against 1 him of the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Arkansas. The vigorous manner in which Senator Robinson plunged into his campaign took the state by sur- prise. He previously had indicated a course of indifference toward his opposition.
 Despite heated aspects the pri- mary race has taken in closing days, it largely has been over shadowed by well-defined boom for Robinson for the presidential nomination two years hence. Prohibition boosts of the Senator generally are regarded as a move to counteract any impression his presence on the national ticket with Alfred E. Smith may have caused. In the gubernatorial contest, the administration of the $72,000, 900 highway building program and the state income tax law enacted last year are dominant issues. Governor Harvey Parnell, seek ing renomination is supporting the highway administration and the income tax law. He is opposed by
 Brooks Hays. 32-year-old Little Rock lawyer; Judge John c. Shef- field, of Helena, and Thornberry Gray of Batesville.
 Little interest has been shown In any of the congressional races ex- ceept in the second district, where six men are questing for the nomi- nation to succeed Mrs. Pearl Peden Oldfield, who is retiring.
