If it had failed in all else, the Senate Lobby Committee would have fulfilled its destiny at a single stroke in eciting bit of information from MT.

Pickett has answered the great ques- tion that has troubled millions of people, mostly Democrats, since November, 1928 It not the Republican Party MT Pickett informs the Senators but the Methodist Church and allied religious or ganizatons which elected MT. Hoover to the Presi- ldency.
 This clarifying statement coming originally from pr. Clarence True Wilson, throws a great deal of light on the obscure question of how to become President Back-slapping and baby kissing, well as the wide distribution of cigars, went out o1 style some years ago. These were the devices :i the Young Republic at time when personal con- tact with most voters was possibility. Then camf the of cabling few political bosses in ont party or the other.

Pickett shows us tha times are, as usual, changing. The party longer is the way to the White House Instead, should as boy read the life of John Wesley as youn, man attend church socias, and a mature states man befriend the political agents of the churches

THE ENDURANCE FLIGHT.

The endurance flying test in which the Hunter brothers and their plane remained in the air at Chicago for more than twenty-three days was a remarkable performance. It terrific test of the staying powers of the flyers and of the ma- chine which they piloted. For more than three weeks they continued to make circles through the air over the great Midwest metropolis. They trav- eled a distance equalng more than two flights around the world at the equator and did it with out stopping
 To the average citizen it would seem that the time has arrived to quit these endurance flying tests We know now that we have airpanes and men who fly continuously more hours and more miles than necessary for any possible practical use It is safe to say that no arpane will be called upon to fly long far without stopping 1T war or peace e-time duties as these men at Chicago have flown, why should any one attempt to ado a few days few hours to the record?
 However, tribute must be paid to the fliers ano builders of machine that made possible the fea that closed the Fourth of July at Chicago. Il was wonderful thing wonderfully done. But really we can see no good in continuing it. More endur ance contests of this kind will bring it into tht longtime flag pole sitting class of sports It vii have practical objective.

We quite agree with the Ketchikan Chronicle that specifications for public works in Alaska tFed- eral or Territorial ought to call for Alaska lumber or timber wherever that is possible.

Who Are Crooks?

If you are a Prohibition official who is accused of taking graft money from the rum ring, you bear the O. K seal of pr. Clarence True Wilson, of tem- perance fame.

 TREATY POPULARITY.

New Jersey voters, having fought out the wet and dry issue and shelved the Anti-Saloon League and the Eighteenth Amendment, will now go to bat over the London Naval Treaty. The Democrats will oppose it and the Republicans for it. In addition to their superior numbers the Republicans will have an advantage in the election that the vets had in the primary, the popularity of their very able and well advertised candidate, but the opponents of the Naval Treaty need not fear that their cause will not be fairly presented.
