SENATOR GLASS WITHOUT
 OPPOSITION.

Political observers say the campaign in Virginia against Senator Carter Glass has completely col lapsed and that he will practically get his certi- ficate election without having to campaign for it. The Republicans have candidate at all.
 The man who in 1928 marked above all others in the South for slaughter in 1880 is thus to be returned the Senate practically by acclama- tion When Senator Glass Methodist and dry, refused to follow the leadership of his church and the Anti-Saoon League but gave his great ability to the support of Coy. Smith, the cry was wait until 1880" No less person that Bishop James Cannon, Jr, gave voice to the prediction that Senator Glass would be taken of by those who organized the revolt against Gov. Smith. That was Cannons challenge to the man who refused to be dictated to by his church Senator Glass accepted the challenge and fought the church lead ership face to face and toe to toe He backed down not at all. He declared that Bishop Cannon was himself all that he had alleged against the Pope, and called him the Pope of Virginia
 Today Bishop Cennon is down in South America trying recuperate after terrific fight to prevent his own expulsion from his church for gambling and for the misappropration of campaign funds entrusted to him-a fight which, by the way, has not been concluded.
 This victory for Senator Glass ought to be gratifying to real Americans. It is a fitting se- quence of the defeats that have been administered to Senator Simmons and Senator Heflin
 The American people are demonstrating that they after all are tolerant and fair.

DEATH OF DANIEL GUGGENHEIM.

Daniel Cuggenhem had disposed of all or near ly all of his Alaskan and other mining interests sometime ago. A half dozen years since, President Birch of the Kennecott Corporation said the Ciuggenheims then owned less than per cent or the Kennecott and only little more of the Am erican Smelling and Refining Company They had previously sold their holdings in Chile Copper to the Anaconda Most of their wealth was represented Tn gilt-edge securities and held by foundations and holding companies Daniel retiring from business
 However in spite of this circumstance Daniel Cuggenheims death of large local interest He had been vtally and heavily interested In de- velopment in Alaska and Yukon Territory and hao contributed immensely to the progress of both. II it had not been that he had been subjected to merciless attacks by muckrakers he might have done a lot more than he did do.
 Alaska was fortunate in having mining man of the vision and daring and liberality of Daniel Guggenheim as an investor and operator. It IS unfortunate that we have not had more like him
 Not only was this eldest of Meyer Guggen- helm a great miner and financier and developer but he was of Americas kndliest philanthroplsts He treated employees more like members of great family than workingmen A nttle incident that occurred in New York in days when turmoil prevailed in Mexico and leading investors in that country urging that the United States send an army of occupation down there to take control is indicative of the patriotism and humanl- tariansm of this great American As told to the writer it was at a meeting of Board of Directors of a Guggenhem company when armed intervention was suggested by than one capitalist. MT Guggenheim said: NO gentlmen, that would never do Speaking for myself and, I'm sure, for my associates I would rather close every mine and smelter and activity of any nature that we have in Mexico and bring every of our employees out of the country than to be the cause of the loss of a single life, American or Mexican That statement it has been said helped to turn the tide against American occupation of Mexico
 Daniel Guggenheim a great American and a great humanitarian

Trade Trends.
(Boston News Bureau.)


 Not pronounced-which would be surprisng,-yet novel and encouraging is the slight new slant ;n our foreign trade trend shown in the figures for August. They deserve the emphasis and commen- dation which they were given at the White House the day before.
 It had been a long and dismal recession in those trade totals recorded in the successive months of 193O From $4l0O0OOOO in January the export aggregate had steadily dropped, first to $500 OO0000 and finally low S266000000 in July. For the first half of the year the export total had been almost 2 per cent. below the same period of 1929. In July that decrease had got as high 38 per cent Now at $500 0000000 exported in August it is back to 21 per cent. again
 On the import side the recession to be still in full swing, with the monthly total drop ping steadily from S31O0000O0 in January low as SPIT 100000 for August The percentage drop from last year which "A per cent. for the first six months, thus got high Al per cent last month. Our export excess, or balance ot trade" shows in consequence the substantial in- crease last month of $71 100000 over 1929 where it had been little altered in preceding months It is figure not at all rejoiced to see expand

SUPREME COURT DUE TO ACT
 ON LIQUOR BUYERS CASES

insisted that Alfred E. Morris, a New York banker, was guilty of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law when he ordered liquor from Philadelphia bootlegger, know ing that illegal transportation would be involved in it's delivery.
 Billions Invested
 As approximately s2.0O0,0000O0 is invested annually by financing companies in connection with the purchase of automobiles on defer red payments, those holding this enormous amount in liens are anxi- ous to know whether the govern ment when it seizes automobiles on the charge of illegal transportation can at it's pleasure confiscate them under the internal revenue laws or under the prohibition law. In the former case the lien hold CTS have no recourse, but in the latter they may recover the seized vehicle by proving that their use for illegal purposes had been pro- hibited.
 It is expected that the court, in rendering its decisions, will follow its previously announced policy of construing the prohibition jaws as aimed at the. suppression of the en- tire liquor traffic and of interpret ing them liberally with this end in view.

 Representative Miller termed the Southeast Alaska Archipelago as the only one between Point Barrow and Cape Horn on the Pacific Coast where an enemy fleet could be con- cealed and still be in a key posi- tion.

 The political eyes of the na- tion are today centered on the health of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York's fighting ex- |ecutive.
 Brilliant orator, cultured gentle man, a statesman of wide experi- ence in both State and National affairs, Governor Roosevelt stands out at this time as the only Demo- crat who might lead the party's uphill fight to victory in the com ing 1892 Presidential election.
 The one objection to Roosevelt as candidate seems to be his physical condition Painstaking care in the past few years has aided the Governor to partially re- cover from the paralysis with which he was stricken at the height of his career.
 Medical authorities have warned Roosevelt that continuance in his State office followed by his plung- ing into an arduous nation wide political campaign would almost surely prevent completion of his cure.
 Roosevelt is now at his estate in Warm Springs, Ga, the healing waters of which have materially aided his attempts to restore his shattered health.
 The Empire States Governor first distinguished himself in poli- tics when he was elected State Senator in what was ordinarily ar impregnable Republican stronghold Following his spectacular cam paign, his work in the Legislature marked him as a rising young Democratic leader.
 In 1913, at President Wilson's re- quest, Roosevelt resigned from the State Senate to become Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He disting- uished himself in that office and won friends and admirers among Democrats and Republicans alike
 In 1920, Roosevelt ran on the Democratic ticket for Vice-Presi- dent. Overwhelmed, together witt Governor Cox of Ohio, in the Hard- ing landslide, the brilliant cam

 Mitchell Seeks Ruling
 Attorney-General Mitchell, in an ticipation of the transfer of pro- hibition enforcement to the De partment of Justice is coordinat ing to clarify controversial ques- tions, and to obtain from the high est court it's interpretation of dis puted phases of the prohibition law
 The question of the guilt of the purchaser of illicit liquor is be- fore the court in two cases. One comes from Boston, brought against James E. Farrar, in which the gov ernment contended that the pur- chaser is equally guilty with the bootlegger. The other is from Phil adelphia, where the government

paigning of Roosevelt made him stand out even in defeat
 Four years later, when he was stricken with paralysis, and stand ing on crutches. Roosevelt's speech placing Alfred E. Smiths name in nomination, was hailed as one of the greatest orations in modern political history.
 His amazing work as New York s Governor, and his tireless fighting power and public utility bills have since stamped Roosevelt as the one Democrat in the nation who may pull his party out of the cha otic confusion into which the de- feats of the last three Presidential campaigns have thrown it.
 What his political friends and foes are today asking is, Can Gov ernor Roosevelt's health carry him through an arduous national elec- tion campaign?"
