FAILURE IN CRITICAL PERIOD.

With the adjournment of the seventy first Con gress Republican in both branches, neither Presl- dent Hoover nor members of his party among the Federal lawmakers review the record Of leg1s- lation with much satisfaction. Both were beset by factional controversy For the most part, neither took advantage of pressing opportunities with the result that the country is dissatisfied
 Perhaps no President encountered such per sistent opposition from his own party in Congress as President Hoover Certainly none in a 1lrst term was opposed so vigorously and successfully, and deprived so completely of party leadership
 On the three great issues of the recent session, the tariff Muscle Shoals and relief, which included loans on veterans cerefcates the Chief Executive was at variance with party associates In the Jarff measure, his authority to change rates 50 per cent up or down challenged and for time threat- ned He signed the bill, which was passed after scandaous trading, and thus put into effect the highest and most unfair tariff law ever imposed on the people of the nation.
 With respect to Muscle Shoals, the White House policy of private operation not only rejected but the principle of Federal ownership and opera tion was favored by decisive majorities in both branches of Congress His veto of the bill providing for Government operation was sustained by the Sen ate but the two-thirds necessary to override his veto lacked only comparatively few votes
 On nearly all phases of relief the Presidents opinions diverged from those of Congress. Ills op- position to loans veterans certificates was de- termined but unavaling. He commanded the sup port of only handful of fellow Republicans and his veto of the veterans quickly over ridden by record-breaking majorities.
 The Presidents recommendation for American adherence to the World Court, notwithstanding the ndorsement of eminent lawyers, educators and other distinguished citizens, got no response from the recent Congress and the issue is left for the de- termination of the next.
 Failure in leadership is largely responsible for the shortcomings of Congress, and for the paucity of executive accomplishments. Had responsible and effective leadership been available, either from the White House it's spokesmen in Congress at the outset of the session just ended the administration program would have been easy of achievement. MT. Hoover chose, wisely unwisey, to keep his hands off. The Republicans had decisive majorites in both the House and Senate. In the former, except on two occasions, Muscle Shoals and the Veterans Loan gave MT Hoover unfaltering support. In the Senate the organizations chieftains permitted the situation to get out of hand and into the power of the insurgents and opposition Inter party wrang ling such the Norrs-Lucas fight, consumed valuable time that could better have been occupied in the consideration of needed constructive legisla- tion To such conditions was due the failure of

 VETERANS CARD
All-Star Smoker Saturday Night Promises to Be
 Replete with Sport

Reports from the training camps of the eight boxers signed up for the American Legion's All-Star Smoker, billed for next Saturday night in the A. B. Hall indicate it will be one of the fastest cards ever staged by the Veterans in this city All except the curtain-raiser are in the lower weight brackets and that means speed will be em- phasized rather than beef
 Reserved seat tickets will be lplaced on sale by the Vets Wednes- day morning. They can be ob- tained at the Juneua Drug Com pany, Alaskan Hotel and the Pio- neer Poolroom. Inquiries indicate ready sale for all seats.
 This smoker is the first of an elimination series for champion ships in the light heavyweight, well terweight and lightweight divisions Similar eliminations are to be staged in Ketchikan and elsewhere so that sure-enough championship bouts can be staged in the not dis tant future.
 The curtainraiser between Min CT" Nobel and Joe Brady, is a light heavyweight matter Both weigh about ITO pounds They are pow erful men and tough enough to assimilate lot of punishment that both are sure to get.
 In the second of the four bouts, Granny Hulse, who made a fine showing against Miles Murphy sev- eral months ago and has fought other good men here, is matched with Sailor Yeager from the Talla- poosa. They are welters.
 Sammy Nelson, Juneau's battling schoolboy meets Dynamite Law renee, the Hoonah terrier in the third match. They too, are welters. Sammy has one victory over the Hoonah lad and the latter is ou. to even the score.
 The fourth and last match brings Wildcat" better known as Slug ger" Weaver Into the ring with Sailor Sharkey Both are light weights. They are clever boxers, clean and hard hitters, and experl- enced in the cauliflower game.

DEMOCRATIC DYNAMITE NON-
 INJURIOUS.

The recent Washington meeting of the Demo- cratic National Committee staged the fireworks as had been expected but the dynamite" which was expected to be exploded turned out to be noninjur- ious The gathering summoned by Chairman Raskob to discuss plans for financing the party debt and organization policies to be pursued dur ing the next nine months, until another session shall be held
 Of course, would have been the case in any similar conclave the enivening part of the dis cussions dealt with Prohibition. The views of MT. Raskob on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment are so strong, the determination of Senators Sheppard Morrison and others inflexible that the Democratic Party shall not commit itself to repeal that collision inevitable occurrence. That the explosion confined itself few sharp passages in debate is hopeful sign.
 It is true, as the Dry adherents pointed out, the National Committee cannot make commitments on the partys policy that would be binding over any contrary policy that the national convention might adopt when it gathers in 1892 to marshal the party phalanxes for the fray The convention, itself, will determine whether the party will go before the nation seeking votes for its national standard bearers Wet, Dry hybrid plat form. The National Committees action the subject would not be mandatory, directory. It only be advisory Undoubtedly if the Vets are sufficiently strong to put through in the com- mlttee resolution for the repeal Of the Eighteenth Amendment it would aid their in the con- vention. In fact such action by the committee would indicate similar action by the delegates to the convention The committee is not constituted along the same lines as the convention will be made up The former is composed of representa- tives from each of the States, and the smallest States has exactly the same number of members as the largest On the other hand the larger States have a great many more votes in the convention than the smaller If the committee should be about evenly divided on Prohibition, the odds would strongly favor the Vets in the convention itself.

The Wire -Tappers.
Cincinnati Enquirer.) )

The tapping of telephone wires to obtain n- formation, in contravention of State law is prob ably the most fragrant example of lawlessness by supposed law-enforcement agents in the United States. The Attorney General has just approved limited of wire tapping by the Department of Justice" This replaces the former condition of conflicting opinions among enforcement bodies.
 At least we know where the Department of Justice stands It is prepared to back up Pro- hibiton agents, in specific instances when they violate State law and the integrity of private telephone conversation. A Federal department in other words, has approved the violation of State laws by its agents, even though those laws are not inconsistent with any Federal statute
 Such is the fruit of attempted enforcement Of law which lacks public support. Private rights of American citizens have been invaded step by step sanctioned sometimes by Courts glossed over in other by evasion of a clear-cut trial The constitutional guarantees of an earlier day have been whittled down to appalling minimum so feeble is the pressure low-enforcng agencies to observe the law themselves.

UNSEEN RAYS AID
STUDY OF HEAVENS
Ultra Violet Light Used to
Accurately Measure
Stars Heat.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 21.-The
ultra violet light reaching the earth
from many stars has been measured at
Harvard Observatory.
The observatory bulletin announces
measures made upon 149 stars, men,
bers of q distant star cluster, showing
that all except three Of them radlate
definitely measurable amounts Of ultra
violet. The studies were made by Miss
Carol Jane Anger of Radcliffe College.
The light measurements were made
from spectrum photographs taken at
Mount Wilson, Calf, and at Cambridge
by Miss Cecilia Payne and DR.. Harlow
Shapley, of Harvard Observatory.
Invisible to the Eye.
Although the light in which the
ultraviolet photographs were made Is
invisible TO the eye. the stars measured
are among the brightest and hottest i'll
the galaxy to which the sun belongs.
Their astronomical classification is B
type stars; they are very similar TO
the stars that make up "Orion's belt"
Miss Anger finds that the proportion
of ultraviolet light increases with the
brightness of the stars; the brightest
stars she has measured are probably
tu,UOU times as brilliant as our sun, DuL
because they are clustered at an i'm
msnse distance from us they are quite
invisible to the eye, being for the most
part of the tenth or eleventh magni-
tudeS.
Gauge Heat Of Stars.
Information about the ultraviolet
star spectra Is important in learning
how hot the stars are. In the past
astronomers have been obliged to guess
the temperature Of stars from the visible
color of their light But Miss Anglers
measures show that the eye may give
deceptive information Some stars
which look yellow. and therefore, should
be cool, are shown by their invisible
ultra violet rays 10 be extremely blue,
and, therefore. probably exceedingly hot.
just why these stars look yellow to the
eye is still an unsolved problem; the
fact remains that the Photographic
plate which can detect invisible light,
tells different story, which may revo-
lutionize ideas on the temperatures of
the hottest stars.
