Hoover Looks at
Great Canvas
Of Notables
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

While the closest I ever got to
the World War was 10 months
spent as editor of the Camp
Meade Herald, gathering person
ais and small talk about two Of
Uncle Sans divisions which went
overseas to help make history,
nevertheless 1 got a great kick
out of the monster canvas which

the same temperament as his
mother had been. She took
five or six rapS, gave Bill plenty
of chances-and finally moved
out, bag, baggage and children.
Before he quite realized what
had happened Bills only con-
nection with the Marriage Club
was the weekly alimony check
he had to hand out. And let
me tell you. brothers and sis
ters. that that's a very ex-
penSive membership card.
So Bill became a worse SouSe
than ever, if that were pos
sible. He had an excuse to get
drunk now. something he had
lacked in other days. Just as
long as he continued to serve
free drinks the boys sat around
and cried with him.
Hits the Wrong Man
One night, when the lamenta-
tions were loud and long a cou.
pie of congenial gentlemen wan

a few drinks, and then made

to the gills. Bill refused to take
his punishment the easiest way.
He took several swings at the
revenue men-and one swing
connected.
Shortly after, the law con-
rected. Not only did he lose
his speakeasy. but Bill was SEN
fenced to one year in Jail. And.
strangely enough, with all the
free booze cut off, not one of
his friends shed a tiny tear.
In the hoosegow Bill had
plenty of time to sober up-and
he did it with a vengeance.
Overnight, he came to sudden
realization of the harm that
whisky had done him. He had
never learned how to be mod.

of booze.

The same thing happened to
Bill then as has happened to
many men before him. In the
twinkling of rye, he became
an ardent prohibitionist. He

easy when he was freed. No.
sir. AS far as he was con.
cerned, prohibition was the
greatest thing in the world.
To hell with whisky! He was
through from that day on. Not
only that, but he was going to
devote his life to an effort to
make other drunkards see the
light. He would find himself
a decent job during the day.
and spend the rest of his time
working for the prohibition
cause. That was his resolution,
so help him God!
When he was released, he i'm.
medlately raced to give his ex-
wife the good news. Too late.
She had married again, and
had moved to a small town in
the West with her new hus-
band and the two children.
Bill took the rap like the new
man that he was. He refused
to take so much as one little
drink to forget. He merely
smiled, shrugged his shoulders
and went out looking for that
job.
In a month, he was flat
broke. With his record, he
couldn't find a job. So finally,
in desperation, he sought the
aid of his parole officer. The
latter nodded, and stated that
he would get him a job. He
was more than happy to see
one of his charges going to
work.

morning. Bill went to the ad-

for work. The job was the

The Author of Alice.
(New Yorw World-Telegramo )

Appointment of committee to prepare for an international celebration by Columbia University on January 27, 1882 in honor of the Tooth anniversary Lewis Carroll, creator of "Alices Adventures in Won derland,p has been announced by Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler.
 Undying fame is unaccountable jade whose actions not controlled by any set laws. She appears in strange places at odd times and all the wooing in the world cannot win her She makes a jest of the most preentious persons and singles out the unlikely for her gift.
 That c. L. Dodgson a kindly middle-cass Eng lishman with a turn for mathematics, should, be- cause he wrote book for the entertainment of little Alice Lydell find himself among the truly great is one of the wonders of the world
 And now they planning international celebration in honor of his Tooth anniversary
 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and Through the Looking Glass touched by that thing called genius that their characters have become symbols and their invented words have crept into the language and become integral parts of our common speech.
 Lewis Carroll was able, through his astonishing sense of values, to translate the phantasmagora of Alice's dreams into something that ties up to the lives and thoughts of vast number of people and the madness of it becomes the most downright common sense.
 As long as the English language is spoken and read these books, together with Tenniels perfect illustrations, will continue to gladden. the hearts of men, women and children.

Sorghum Making

PINEHURST, N. C., Jan. l. Residents of Moor ecounty, North Carolina, don't have to go away from home to obtain necessities of life.
 State agricultural authorities re- port hundreds of families in the county have grocery bills below s3 a month. The live-at- home cam paign of Gov. O. Max Gardner and low farm prices are greatly responsible.
 One of the things Moore county farmers aren't worrying about now is the sugar bill. That's because sorghum making has been revived on large scale. The sorghum is used for all purposes that sugar is.
 The sorghum-making plants in use in Moore county are of the same primitive type that were used long ago, except that steel rollers have replaced wooden. Mules sup ply the power that turns the roll CTS.

THE NEW YEAR.

The New Year will be a repetition of old ex- periences re-enforcement of old laws reaffirma- ton of another common saying which is that human nature changes little and human relationships are much the today they when the first philosophical writer first set his chisel to work the stone tablets whereon written the observa- tions and records of that far-off time when the human first began to discover the antiquity of the planet and the unswerving laws that gov it.
 Nineteen hundred and thiry-two bids fair to be a momentous year. In the first place it will be a political year such have not seen in recent times. new President and new Congress, in- cludng one-third of the Senate membership and all the House members will be elected There will be very interesting primaries, two interesting National Conventions and interesting campaign before the voting. The danger is that interest in politics will be widespread that business and industry may be neglected.
 The depression that has prevailed for the last two years will probably continue-for a time at least-but time is operating in the interest of the restoration of normalcy The slump is slowly wear ing itself out and the wearing will continue
 Locally l932 will be different than in the country at large. No year has been ushered in that looked fairer to Juneau and her immediate en- virons The Alaska Juneau has increased its divi- dends twenty five per cent due to increased produc- ton and profits. Further mining development here and elsewhere in Southeast Alaska this year is certain.
 Let us hope that the efforts that underway to stabilize the marketing of our fish products may improve conditions so that the leading Alaska in- dustry will fare better in 1892 than it did last last year and the year before The indications such as to cause hopefulness
 Juneau merchants and business men had a goed year in 1881 and it is certain that they will have better one this year To them all and all Aaskans and good people everywhere, we wish a happy and prosperous 1892.

An Empty Victory.
Seattle Times.

The success of the Republicans in organizing the scarcely can be elassed a victory For several years the radical bloc has voted with the Demo- crats on every measure sponsored by the regulars. The only reason for temporary cooperation with the Administration Senators is found in the fact that Borah, Norris and others wished to hold their precious committee chairmanshps The real strength of the forces in the Senate is found in the ballot
 ing for President pro tempore, which resulted as follows Republicans 31 Democrats 42 Insurgents l3 Farmer-Labor 1.
 | One disturbing feature in the voting for Pres- dent pro tempore is that Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington cast his ballot steadily with the
 insurgents. So far as this State is concerned it is not highly important whether Senator Moses or some other man presides the Senate in the absence of the President but on a test of party regularity it would prefer to have Senator Jones line up with the thirtyone, rather than with the twelve There is possibility that his defection
 in this instance may have far-reachng effects when the Senator comes to matters of interest to the State of Washington. The friendly cooperation of the Republican regulars is of greater moment than the uncertain sympathy of the few insurgents. | In permitting the Republicans to retain com mittee chrmanships, the Democrats acted shrewdly The responsibility for proposing legislation rests with the G. O. P although it actually is in the minority The insurgents may be counted upon only lar Republicans on every possible occasion The majority opinion in this State is against such tac- tics, and Senator Jones should have known it.

The Spender.
Cincinnati Enouirer. ]

Congress is the fatuous spender in this coun- try. It never lsarns. Present disastrous object lessons apparently, affect it not at all Other coun- tries are on the verge of bankruptcy and Con- gress goes guilelessly inventing ways to raise more and more money spending, spending-follow- ing in the path of those counties which now tremble on the brink of disaster
 It never seems to dawn upon the Congressional intelligence to spend less and tax less. Mo- indeed We must have income taxes, a sales tax tax on luxuries, tax this, that and the other thing And it is the peoples money that is being spent No individual Congressman would spend his own money with the same reckless abandon. It appears to be the urge of present-day Congressmen to fling far and wide the tax net to devise weird schemes to raise more money But the Congressional brain becomes dense and unresponsve to proposals to curtail indefensble public expenditure On the con- trary we may expect in the present session of Con- gress to hear multitude of wild and exotic plans and schemes for the raising of money to spend to the weakening of the Nations financial power and the increasing of taxation.
 It is to be hoped that in the face of these hybrid conditions that there may be enough level headed men in Congress to stay this omnous flood and get the country back to an established con- dition of normalcy. But the present outlook is not encouraging
 The public is hard hit has the right to com plain of many things. It is looking to Congress to right these thngs-to spend less and to tax less

PAPUAN NATIVES FASHION
 OWN CLUBS TO PLAY GOLF

CANBERRA, Jan. 1.-Youthful tribesmen of the Papuan villages who were living in the stone age few years ago, are now fashion ing golf clubs instead of spears and doing the job well
 A year ago band of enthusiasts, mostly the Australian white offi- cials, created the first Papuan golf links, and the players have utilized the Kanaka youths as caddies.
 The caddies have taken to golf like ducks to water and the club committee decided to give them a field day.
 The caddies arrived with some amazingly fine woods and their irons were examples of extraordi- nary ingenuity. fashioned from pieces of water pipe, hoop iron and scrap metal.
