JUDGE WICKERSHAM POINTS OUT NEED FOR A DEMOCRAT
 IN CONGRESS.

Time after time in his speech last night Delegate Wickersham spoke of his heplessness to assist Al aska in Congress because of the Democratic major- ties in the National House of Representatives and it's committees. Speaking particularly of the trans fer of the activities of the Alaska Road Commission from the War Department to the Department of the Interior he declared that there nothing he could do about it because the House Democratic.
 There you have it. The Delegate has admitted the situation to be have asserted it to be. It demands that we elect Democrat to represent us in Congress. That the next Senate and House of Representatives and President certain to be Democratic is admitted Delegate Wickersham ad- mits his impotency because the House alone Democratic. The Senate and President Re- publican. That makes the need for Democrat in Congress three-fold We want a Delegate who will not be helpless.
 If MT. Dmond is elected to Congress he will be in harmony politically with all branches of the law-making power of the United States-the two houses of Congress and President Roosevelt. He will not be helpless.

Drafting Calvin Coolidge.
(New York Times.)

MT, Coolidge finds it both puzzling and amusing that Wall Street should promptly nominate him for every position of importance as it turns up. But while the thing may be amusing, it is really not puzzling.
 In part it is the national belief in success If man is big enough to secure one big position. he is big enough to fill all
 In part 1t is survival of the national belief in magic. MT. Coolidge's name has far from lost its potency a synonym for dazzling prosperity.
 In part it is the national belief in publicity MT Coolidge obviously enists attention for any job he assumes
 In part it is the Nations just admiration for man Of singular foresight. After all MT Coolidge is the man who did not choose to run in 1928

 She saw Rosamund with the suit case in her hand.
 She saw other things.
 After a long time no more bub- bles rose. Her mind was dark, and empty. She went up to her room, and at the first sound of her foot on the stair, there was Bran, keeping step with her. She locked the door upon them both; she locked the door into Jervis' room. kt
 Then she undressed and lay down on her bed. A heavy weight of fatigue made all of her limbs feel like lead She lay down and covered herself with the sheet. With no interval at all, she drop- ped into the deepest depths of sleep

plank and Senator Dirrond didn't endorse it.
 The Petersburg convention adopt- ca plank saying: We favor the American principle of repre- sentation according to population and urge that it be applied to the Alaska Legislature" In other words they didn't say that the Second and Fourth Divisions had too many Legislative representatives, but thst the First and Third Divisions did mt have enough, and that each should be represented in propor- ton to the numerical strength of population. That is the princinle of government which applies to Congress, to every State Lesis,a- ture and has always applied to ey- cry American territory-except AL aSka.

 Well then-I saw Miss Rosa. mund."
 So the curtain had hidden Rosa mund. Nan did not know what
 she had expected, but it was mol this. The shock had numbed feel ing, but it left her voice quiet and level.
 You saw Miss Rosamund. Will you tell me just what you did 5ae?"
 Mrs. Mellish put the linen hand kerchief to her chin for a mo- ment, and then to either temple. She moisture stood on her pale lskin.
 T blew out my candle, and so soon as it was out, I could see there was light somewhere. And II looked round the crack of the door-and there was MT. Jervts' door open and a light in the room, and Miss Rosamund coming out with a suitcase in her hand. And just as I looked, the light went out, and I shut the door quick and come away"
 Nan sat there pale and straight. She had brought this humiliation upon herself Mrs. Mellish would have spared her, but she had forced her to speak. well since she had come so far, she must go the whole of the way.
 You're sure you saw Miss Ros- amund?"
 Yes, ma'am."
 It was no use-she couldn't 20 .cn. If there were any questions to be put, then someone else must put them-Ferdinand or MT. Page. She would have to send for MT. Page tomorrow if there were still no news. Rosamund! Rosamund with the suitcase in her hand. She felt very sick and giddy, but she managed to get up and to speak steadily.
 Thank you, Mrs. Mellish. You won't speak Of this to anyone?"
 Mrs. Mellish recovered her poise.
 Its not by any wish of mine that I've spoke of it now" she said, and withdrew without haste, and with the consciousness of high moral worth.
 It was sometime later that Nan realized that she was still standing as she had stood to see Mrs. Mel fish go. The realization came with a slight sense of shock. It was some time since the door had closed, but she did not know how long. sg
 Everything had stopped when the door shut; now it went on again with a little jerk, but slowly, un- evenly, and as if it might stop again at any moment. The sense of strain and of expectation was gone. 9
 Jervis had gone away with Ros- She felt humiliated into the very dust. They have gone away secretly, and Rosamund had lied to her. All the time she had talked about drowning and about Jervis getting cramps, she was ly- ing. She had been in Jervis' room at three o'clock in the morning. She had stood in the door with the suitcase in her hand.
 Nan was too numb to feel hurt. The thought of Rosamund was like D heavy weight that numbed her Jervis had come into her room and been kind Was he expecting Was that why he was awake? Had he only been kind be- cause she must not be awake? She must sleep and know nothing because Rosamund was coming?

significant by-election has just been con- cluded in Canada. South Huron has returned a Liberal by a largely increased majority The Con- servative candidate was prominent farmer in a predominantly agricultural constituency; five mem bers Of the Bennett Ministry took part in the paign and they all based their appeal upon the results Of the Ottawa Conference. Majorities are usually low in South Huron, but this time the Liberals secured one of 1,500, record for the con- stituency. Additional significance is given to the result by the fact that 1t followed closely on the announcement by MT.

Political promises, like the pro- verbal chickens, come home to roost, and not always to comfort their makers. Friday evening, in a speech to the students of the University of Colorado at Boulder, Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Okla homa, speaking for the Democratic national ticket, and broadcasted over the radio, recalled some of the promises made by Herbert Hoover in 1928 in the Presidential campaign in that year.
