A Democratic House.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

The Democrats have captured the House of Rep resentatives and it probably is unwelcome honor. The Congress faces the cheerlass task of rais- ing taxes or else shutting off the stream of favors that are appropriated to make friends for Con- gressmen and political parties. Republican leaders have admitted frankly they were not eager to organize the House, and they cannot.
 The Democratic victories of Tuesday which bring this result point to increasing wet sentiment and dissatisfaction with the tariff These are the danger signals for the G. O. P. in the 1882 campaign, and the issues most promising for their oppon- ents
 Because of the success of John B. Holister in the First District of Ohio Republican leaders in Washington find cheer in the elections However, MT. Holister based his campaign in very small measure, if at all, on championng the Hoover Ad- minisration, and soft-pedaled the tariff issue very dscreety. In fact, Hollister and Lorbach appeared at the close of the campaign to disagree almost nothing except party labels The First District result, therefore, indicates little of the trend of sentiment in national politics. despite the unusual importance attached to it in Washington.
 With the House controlled by Democrats and the Senate Republican majority depending on in- surgen members the prospects for President Hoover are anything but alluring. He never has had genuine cooperation from his Congress and the chances for it now further decreased.
 It's going to be hard winter in Washington as well as many other places, but for different reasons Our Federal Government, vast leviathar, ing along, however, matter how badly the lead- ership of White House and Congress is divided between political parties. The chances are that the genial wrangling in the mongrel Congress to come will not be markedly different from that of the last one.

Ever since the babel of the worlds talk was added to the silent film the decline of Hoywoods dominance in the cinema industry has been appar- ent Now 1t has reached such proportions that the United States Department of Commerce takes melan- choly note Of 1t in the report which it has just issued. A Chaplin, singular in his generation may still see a world market for pure mime uncom- plicated by dialogue, and remain secure in the Knowledge that man in trouble with a plate of mac2roni is as valuable refreshment to his fel- lows in Darkest Africa in the Middle West. But Chapns are rare, and talk is the order of the day Talkes in Yiddsh are the latest to take the field and will shortly be heard in Manchester. Even China is contemplating sound-fim industry of her own. In the upshot the enormous foreign market on which Hollywood could count in silent days is rapidly vanishing before the flood of words The language barrier is proving insurmountable where quota systems and tariffs have failed and the current report discloses the extent of the Am erican loss It is not likely to provoke much sympathy from the rest of the world Recolections of the use that Hollywood made of it's domination to compel the block booking and blind booking by it's customers of meages of contemptibe film along with the really good stuff are too recent. It is to the good that the cinemas of the world will no longer advertise the culture and the com modities of nation only. But few blessings are unmiXed.

CANNON CONNECTING HIMSELF.

The persistence with which Bishop Cannon insists that his indictment and prosecution is the work of Catholics will make it difficult for him to convince the public that it was not Alfred E Smiths opposi- ton to Prohibition but his religion that behind Cannon's activities in the 1928 campaign. It shows what he has his mind and what he probably had on his mind when he went into the campaign against his party The Senate Investigation and the prose cution indicate that many of those who have looked into matters believe that the Bishop soon acquired another interest in the campaign-a purpose to profit from handling political contributions.
 However, a consideration of the facts of the Cannon investigation will make it plain to any one who looks into it that Senator Garter Glass Demo- cratic leader from the Bishops own State 8 Protestant, and not the Pope of Rome has been the nemises of the politico-divine. It was Senator Glass that made it clear that Bishop Cannon was a denominational bigot. at least, and possibly seeker of easy money. The Bishops silly at empts to convince his followers that he is the object of religious persecution is confirmatory of the religious intolerance charges of the Virginia Senator who insisted that the investigation be made.

ALASKA DEEMED
 PL ACE OF EXILE. 46 YEARS ACC.
Old Paper Found Here Tells of Judge Daw-
 son S Appointment

Alaska Looks Like Punishment is the heading on a dispatch from Washington, D. C., in an issue Of the Globe-Dsmocrat of St. Louis Mo. The article refers to a presi- dential appointment of United States District Judge in this Ter ritory with headquarters in Juneau. The time? Not now, but 46 years ago.
 The copy of the St. Louis news paper, dated December 8, 1885, was found a few days ago in the attic of the Adsit Building on Second street near Main street, this city, by Robert Douglas, whose parents Capt. and Mrs. J. T. Douglas, have apartments on the second floor Of the structure.
 Refers to Judge Dawson
 The dispatch, which related to the appointment by Presiden. Cleveland of Lafayette Dawson, Of Missouri, as judge for Alaska, all of which then constituted one jul dic.al district, reads as follows:
 Special dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Decem- Der 5.-Congressman Burnes of Missouri called at the White House the other day and the President said to him:
 MI. Burnes, I have just ap- pointed one of your constituents to office
 "'I must make my acknowledg- ments, said MT Burnes, and I can say that MT Dawson is one of our best lawyers in Northwest Missouri But Alaska comes pretty near being his punishment, and I can't say that MT. Dawson will be willing to go there
 Oh, but you must persuade him to go,' said MT. Cleveland; we want such men for our territorial offices.
 Sought Territorial JudgeshIp
 Tt may not be generally remem- bered that last spring when it was uncertain if the President would go outside of the Territory to make Territorial appointments, MT. Daw- son took all the chances of being ruled out by this question of resi- dence and announced himself a candidate for a Territorial judge ship. He was the only candidate from Missouri and was unanimous ly indorsed by the Missouri dele gation. When the President con- cluded to give Missouri one of these Judgeships the appointment, much to the surprise of MT. Dawson and his friends, was given to fellow townsmen of Senator Cockrsn Judge Brinker went to New Mexi- co, and Judge Dawson goes toa Alaska, perhaps"
 Was Learned Judge
 Judge Dawson did accept the appointment He came to Juneau and was one of the most learned judges that ever presided over Federal court in this Territory.
 The Judge Brinker, mentioned in the Globe-Democrat dispatch as having been appointed United States Judge in the then Territory of New Mexico, was w. H. Brink Ter. He served his judicial term

THE DIE IS CAST.

It took President Curtis long time to de- eide definitely that he would not for Senator in Kansas but would accept renomination for his present post. What induced him to make his de- cison only he knows-uness he has told someone. No doubt many reasons will be advanced. Demo- crats doubtless will declare that after of the situation he probably decided these are Democratic times in Kansas and that he would rather be de- fcated for Vice-Presdsnt than for Senator. It would be less personal He could blame Hoover.
 On the other hand many Republicans will just doubtlessly insist that the Vice-Presdent after thoroughly canvassing the political situation, has concluded that Hoover and the Vce-PresidenUial nominee will be reelected, and he has admitted that he likes his present job of talking on occasion for the President
 However, the die is cast. MT. Curtis will run for Vice-President and there will be another hc. campaign in hot Kansas for that Senate seat that had been reserved by optimistic Republicans for Mrs Cams brother

SPORT FOR REALITIES SAKE.

It is generally acknowledged states the United States Public Health Service that a certain amount of physical exercise is advisable if one wishes to enjoy good health In prehistoric times man got all the exercise that his body needed in obtaining food and defending himself from savage beasts. Later men obtained sufficient exercise from follow ing their agricultural and pastoral pursuits With the advance in civilization, living conditions be- came more complex and occupations became more specialized, and result there are an increasing number of people who get very little exercise in the performance of their daily tasks. As a result of this change in conditions of living, certain muscles and organs of the body have become weak and fahby from little use, and artificial exercise is required to ksep muscles and organs in normal condition.
 The value of exercise for the maintenance of health is generally recognized. The increase in circulation resulting from exercise benefits all parts of the body. Every movement which we make causes the destruction Of certain body cells Nature replaces all such waste of tissue and usually adds little more than was destroyed This process et replacement is speeded up by exercise That is why backsmiths and runners legs are so well developed. However, if too much exercise is taken, there results a greater destruction of tissue than the body can replace, and in such case the body is harmed instead of benefited
 People who do heavy manual labor need no artificial exercise, but those with sedentary occu- pstlons should set aside regular time of the day for exercise just as they do for meals Ordnar- fly exercise should not be taken less than three hours after a meal, and a meal should not usually be taken less than hour after exercise If enc is about to undertake a systematic course of exercise or to engage in any sport it is best be- fore doing so, to have physical examination made by competent physician to ascertain whether inc organs of the body are in healthy condition IL is a good thing to have such an examination made at least once year says the Public Healtb Servica.
 Exercises are most beneficial when taken in the open air. because the open air contains larger percentage of oxygen than dcss the air indoors But. if for some reason other, such as nclsment
