Human Factors in Politics.
(New York World Telegraph

(New York Word-Telegram)
 One of Alfred E. Smiths greatest gifts a Governor his ability to deal with his personal enemies. He could fight and still make them like him.
 Because of that gift it was possible for him to bring about his many accomplishments in the face of politically hostile Legislatures Had that certain human quality of his been lacking he would have been in constant deadlock with the law-making branch of the State. And only through law making can a Governors-or a President's-pocies be put finally into effect.
 The term executive" as a matter of fact, in the common acceptance of the word, is msnomer when applied to high political office such a Governorship the Presidency. "Executive' con- notes the idea of who directs by giving orders to subordinates But you can't give orders to equals. And the law-makng branch in our political system is on equal rating with the executive.
 One of Herbert Hoovers outstanding weaknesses has been a deficiency in that quality which MT. Smith possesses in such degree. Accustomed throughout his life, up until he became President, to executive work in the order giving sense he was unable to adjust himself to the rough and tumble necessities of getting results hostile politicians in Congress
 Generally speaking, he peevish. His man ner of approach antagonized The frequent stale mates in his relationship with the Senate and the House were the outcome.
 Important in this connection as relating to the present campaign is the performance of Franklin D. Roosevelt in dealing with his enemies last week in Albany.
 He showed a most unusual capacity for coupling fight with tact. His victory the Tammany crowd that sought to sidetrack MT. Roosevet's candidate for the Governorshp came with mini mum of bitterness
 If he could handle his political enemies in Con- gress in the same way he handled the Curry Lehman situation he would bring to bear, in event of his election, essential quality which many political executives including MT Hoover lack and which Alfred E. Smith than any other political executive of our time ability to deal with human beings and the human factors that after all finally determine great public decisions

M'CoOEY CLAIMS sOo,OOO MAJORITY

Easing his estimates on polls taken by his own organization in Brooklyn and by Edward J. Hymns organization in Bronx, John H. McCooey, Brooklyn Democatic boss and New York Democratic National Committeeman, predicts that Gov. Roosevelt for President and Leut.-Gov Lehman for Governor will carry New York City by more than 100000 majority. He declares that Leut.Gov. Lehman is running slightly stronger than Gov. Roosevelt, but both will easily pass the 800,00O mark.
 Seemingly justifying MT. McCooey's prediction is the circumstance that the increase in registration has been in the Democratic districts while they have not been large in Republican districts The vote of the City will be much larger than formerly and in many Democratic sections it will be doubled.

A Fine Record.
(Anchorage Times.)

With the retirement of Judge Thomas c. Price las United States Commissioner. the Anchorage pre- cinct is losing public officer who not only has
 served the Department of Justice ably but who also has made his office meet the exacting require ments of the community in highly pleas
 ing to the public. He has been unswervingly just in his decision exacting in the performance of his official duties yet never failing to safeguard the rights of those coming into his court; he has given the public courteous efficient service his office always having been open to those in quest of in- formation, advice assistance well to those having official business to transact. And he has found time besides, to give generously of his serv ices to general affairs of the community. Tn short, his record a public officer is one of which he and the entire precinct may well be proud, and he is taking with him into the private practice of his profession the good will and well wishes of every one in the community.

HAWAII WANTS THE TRUTH KNOWN

Acting Gov. Raymond c. Brown of Hawaii has issued booklet which has been termed mani festo on the A-BCs of Hawaiian geography, politics. customs, volcanology climate, etc." The manifesto makes some things clear
 The Hawaiian Islands are not located in the Philippines the Caribbean, or any place other than the middle of the Pacific Ocean-20O0 miles from San Francisco and $500 miles from Japan.
 Honolulu is not the of an island but the capital city Of the Hawaiian Islands The island is Oahu. The three other principal islands are Hawaii Maui and Kauai
 Hawaii has no more need for an American Con- Sul than New York Florida Far from being a foreign country" to residents of mainland America the Territory of Hawaii has been self-poverninp integral part of the United States ever since the Islands, at their own request were annexed bv the D. S. in 1898.
 wag has described Hawaii as "a series of volcanos completely surrounded by water This D ne commented, makes swimming not only pleasure but necessity" The Governor points out thouph that if there is any swimming done in connection With volcanic activity in Hawaii it is swimming to the volcano and not away from it, because activity in the frepit of Kilauea crater on the island of Hawaii is signal for rejoicing rather than an element of danger
 Governor Brown declared that in certain outlying districts in the islands there are natives who live !" somewhat primitive, though not unciyilized manner put that the only grass huts are those Ill two authentic Hawaiian villages which are noain laiheo as snow places and to demonstrate and preserve the arts of Old Hawaii Entertainers wear grass skirts when they dance the hula he admitted but they don't stroll about the street in bu,o cos tunes his manifesto declares.

 The 1880 Federal Census showed A total
 population of 368336 of which number ea-

 to many who have harbored the delusion

 She left Nan to feeling that she had been knocking drnploring- ly upon a door that was not made tc open. Then, as she stood walt ing for Mrs. Mellish to return, it come to Nan that it was not so much that the door was not made to open, as that it had been de- liberately slammed in her face.
 She stood there and thought about this. Why do people shut doors? Either because they are angry, or else because they have something to hide. There wasn't any reason why Mrs. Mellish should be angry with her. Had Mrs. Mellish by any chance got some thing to hide?

Piles Co Quick

Itching, bleeding or protruding piles go quickly and don't come back, if you raelly remove the cause. Bad blood circulation Tn the lower bowel and hemorrhoidal veins causes piles by making the affected parts weak, flabby, almost dead. Salves and suppositories fail because only an internal medicine that stimulates the circulation and drives out the impure blood can actually correct the cause of piles. Dr. J. s. Leonhardt discovered a real internal Pile remedy After prescribing it for 1000 patients with success in over 900 cases, he named it HEM-ROID. Juneau Drug Go. and druggists everywhere sell HEM

A Zoo for Ketchikan.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

The suggestion of M. L. Stepp that zoo be started in Ketchikan is commendabe. Unfor- tunately Ketchkan too often takes itself so seriously that it hesitates to show anything but an intensely practical side, like growing boy who doesn't want the fellows to see him kiss his mother.
 That's one reason why Ketchikan, in the midst of natural park land, has hardly park worthy of the
 But zoo has more practical aspects than park, and for that reason we have hopes that it might enlist more support than another plan. A zoo, for instance. would be g great drawing card for the tourists who wouldn't care much about seeing park devoted wholly to playground and picnic purposes.
 Here at little no cost we could obtain speci- mems of the brown and black bear, of mountain sheep and goat of moose and caribou, or deer, of wolves of the eagle the beaver the mink, the fox the chain is Neemingly endless With hardly any effort this community could have ZOO that would be the envy of town ten times its size.
 Why not?

GRAIN FUTURES
SHOW UNEVEN
TRADING RANCE
Weather Reports important
Factor in Wheat
Market.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, March 9.-Wheat
opened slow and steady to easy on
the Board of Trade today. Stocks
were irregular and sterling con-
tinued to advance. Liverpool was
relatively strong, owing to the
movements in the exchange.
Traders were hesitant to make
further commitments until the ex-
change rate steadied. Price changes
were small at the start, with scat
tered selling and light support.
Corn was firm on the continued
cold and intimations of a possible
report demand. Oats was dull and
steady.
Opening Is Uneven
At the opening wheat was UNI
changed to 4 cent lower, corn was
Is cent to Il cent higher and oats
unchanged to u cent higher. Pro-
visions we're steady.
A further advance in sterling
made the a to Is pence lower Liv-
erpool market equal to rs to is
cents higher at mid afternoon.
Weather over the main winter
wheat belt continues abnormally
cold, although temperatures were
slightly higher in the east.
Millers are reported to have taken
about 100000 bushels of stabiliza-
ton corporation cash wheat lately,
giving in exchange Kansas City De-
cember futures on a basis of So
cents, or 7 cents above May. This
is considerably less than a carry
ing change from March until first
delivery day.
Corn Holds Advances
The first Red Cross wheat is on
its way from Omaha to South Da-
kota.
Corn is holding moderate adj
vanceS largely on the action of
wheat. Country offerings are rather
light, but there has been no i'm
provement in the cash demand.
Billiards are reported in parts of
Iowa.
Oats have been confined to a mar
row range recently. The trade is
giving more attention to rye as an
export demand develops for that
grain, with United States stocks
small.
