DEMOCRATS IN THE AsCEDANT.

The election of a Democrat to Congress rom New Hampshire to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Republican gives the Democrats safe working majority in the National House of Repre- sentatives They have 220 members to PA for the Republicans There is one Farmer-Labor Party member Representative Paul J. Kvale of Minnesota, but he is working with the Democrats and was given committee assignments if he were a Democrat. In of pinch, therefore, the Demo- crats seem to have 221 that might be relied upon to follow the leader" and they have been able thus far to command the votes of a dozen or more of the 214 Republicans Speaker Garner seems to be sitting prettily in the saddle.
 month before Congress convened there were eight vacancies and the Democrats had lead of two The eight vacancies have been filled at spscal elections the Democrats winning six of them and the Republicans two The Democrats won all of their seats and gained four that had been held by the Republicans prior to their deaths. These Democratic victories spread over wide area of the country and include three districts that had been overwhelmingly Republican.
 The circumstances, considered in connection with the tremendous Democratic gains in the regular elections 1880 and 1881 including eight Senators, fifty Representatives and seven Governors, point inevitably to a sweeping Democratic victory next November-unlass the Democrats get into quarrel, as they have often done, and destroy themselves

 We are accustomed to look to Dan Walters of Swarthmore College for statistics of attendance in
 higher educational institutions of the United States
 For the current academic year. his showing is that colleges and universities holding their own in the number of ful-time students. This may be
 in part in spite of depression but because of it. Many may have continued in their studies who might have dropped out under the temptations of prosperity. Others may have entered college or zone on to graduate work who previously might not
 have dared the steep ascent to what is now pictured las the plateau" of attendance-higher by 12 per cent. than five years ago.
 The small colleges-those with student bodies under 500-had a slight gain, but the major in
 crease was in those between 500 and ,000 and be-
 tween 1000 and 5000. This is wholesome indica-
 tion for these are the strongholds of the liberal
 arts across the continent, and together they have almost half of the total full-time student popula
 ton of the 444 approved universities and colleges
 Including the colleges of less than 500, they have more than half (310,640 out of 599,l24.
 If to these ful-time students are added the part time and the Summer-sesson students, the total number mounts to well-nigh million. In addition
 there are now five million students in the high schools of the United States, schools
 that often referred the peoples colleges The only unfavorable symptom is that there has been decrease in the number of women students.

Slower Mining.
Boston News Bureau.O

This coming year there will be neither so many diamonds nor much copper dug out of the earth Both had suffered severely in demand and there fore in price; the obvious answer has been cur Itailment."
 It was relatively simple in the of diamonds Only small patch of the worlds surface contains the precious blue ground" But copper had by successive openings of great new fields in several continents, in particular Africa become indeed la world industry. So its case was vastly more complex, as evidenced by the delay and difficult ties in attainment of the reduction agreement now lannounced
 The De Beers chairman merely had to say at the annual meeting in Cape Town that the output of diamonds would virtually be suspended and de- liveres halted until the world trade could dispose of the existing stocks Months ago it was clear from the plight of stone-cutters in Dutch and Bel gian cities that all was not well as to such dis posal No natural sequel to the economic upset might have been expected Radio listeners
 now hear how attractvely priced are gems of all sorts; and that includes diamonds.
 For many years the diamond outflow has been carefully regulated lest glut supervene. The store i've set by gems would obviously diminish greatly were the scarcity element somehow banshed. Now comes complete cessation for while until langush- ing demand shall absorb slowly the output of the recent past and later revive with better world times.
 It has been long, patient struggle to adjust matters among the many producers, big and little Iof the worlds huge copper yield. Quite much diplomacy has been added as in the Chadbourne conferences among the worlds rival sugar producers
 Tn copper the Belgians the difficult parties to persuade just their neighbors the Dutch have been in terms Of Javan sugar. But the invincible club of price was the finally effective weapon.
 So for year at least there is the prospect oi la production kept down to 25s per cent of capacity until either the unweldy stock above ground gets down to four months supply the price reaches I12 cents There is intent in copper any more ,iy>,1ot lvtn tionate price Producers will be lucky, indeed tc get living wage.
 The plain way thereto is concerted avoidance of suicidal overproduction.

to drift away from Jeffersonianism early in life and he continued to drift until his end Jefferson believed in personal liberty Bryan did not. Jeffer- son believed that people best governed that was least governed. Bryan wanted the Government to regulate everything. Jefferson believed in State rights. Bryan believed in Federal law for nearly everything-ncluding Prohibition. Jefferson was an indvidualist Bryan was almost a Socialist He would have cured with law every ill that he could think of-and he could think i'll furiously.
 Long before he died Bryan about as far from Jefferson as it was possible for him to get Their whose behavior regarding the scope and purpose of government and the rights of individuals were far apart
 Who can imagine Jefferson forcing Prohibition on the States? Who think of Jefferson med ding in the rights of suffrage within another State? Most of Bryan's activities were wholly outside of the Jefferson principles

A Task For Raskob

The uneasy crown worn by John J. Raskob as Democratic chair man probably will have another jostling when the National Com- mittee of that party meets in Washington January g.
 Wherever so many Democrats are gathered there is sure to be talk about Raskob.
 Many Southern Democrats do not like his close association with Al Smith Dry Democrats do not like his views on Prohibition. Roosevelt Democrats are disturbed by reports that he is aiding and abetting Roosevel's enemies.
 It should be said also that he is not without friends and defenders. The party treasury is heavily in his debt, and the present committee was built largely during the 1928 campaign which he directed.
 The supposition is that he will keep the chairmanship for the present-perhaps until after the convention next summer.

POLITICS
 AT RANDOM
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press Washington

ACooy vva-AAAh6 sOtA
 Winter cruising on the political seas may be divided into three classes-the trial spins of Presiden- tial aspirants, the maneuvering of Congress, and the explorations of the national party committee.
 Definite campaigns to pledge support for candidates now have appeared in nearly every state.
 Many think the situation will be either clarified or complicated by statements in January from New ton D. Baker, counted first-line potential contender for the Demo- cratic nomination, and Hiram w. Johnson, center of the anti-Hoover agitation among Republicans.
 The tacking to political winds al- ready is furiously in progress in Congress, determining party rec ords which will have much to do with 1882 platforms.
 Normally concerning themselves with party organization rather than either candidates or issues, the Ma tional Committees are giving first attention to the cash box.
 Campaign money is harder to get than for many years.
 Of course the next few months will see some National Committee effort spent on publicly, party ral- lies and quiet organization of vot- CTS, but the big rush will be to fill up the treasuries.

G. O. P. Holds To Course

Whatever may betide, the Re- publican flagship may be expected to stand squarely to it's charted course through the blustery winter.
 Senator F'ess of Ohio is to re- main at the helm of the National Committee, and he is regularity it. self.
 With the party spit in both Sen- ate and House, some believed President Hoover might want a chairman who could stand on neu- tral ground. On the contrary, MT. Hoover evidently prefers to sit tight and watch and wait.
 Fess is a champion watcher and waiter. No extensive realignment of party machinery need be ex- pected from him.
 He will sit on the lid as well as he can, considering the bubbling ingredients beneath, and will an- swer all attacks by new tributes to the virtues of uncompromising Re- publicanism.

ALASKA'S GOOD BOOSTER STILL
 BOOSTING.

Newspapers in the States still commenting on the suggestion of the Rome New York, Chamber of Commerce, that the United States trade South east Alaska to Canada for certain south of the St. Lawrence River Alaska papers paid little attention to the proposition. To them it was toe absurd to worry about. The Ketchikan Chronicle facetiously intimated that the New York State sug gestion too late because were about to give the country back to the Indians. Other Alaska papers recalling the days when Maryland Con- gressman Che was from Maryland, wasn't hep in- troduced bill in each Congress to give South east Alaska to Canada. did not even see a joke in the prostion. To them it too stale. However, the suggestion seemed an opportunity to the Seattle Times to give Alaska some favorable advertising, and it never misses an opportunity te serve the Territory in any way that it can Writing under the heading, "The Deal Is Off, it said:
 The reaction to the proposal made by the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, N Y, that the United States trade the Alaska pan handle" for that part of Quebec which lies south of the St. Lawrence River, seems to be unfavorable. The Ketchikan Chronicle observes with bitterness that it is too late to make such deal, because due to the low price of fish, negotiations already are under way to give this country back to the Indians" Canadian officials at Ottawa express doubt whether the Dominion could legally confer the blessing of American sovereignty upon the IeTTltOIy Ol one Ol US Provinces.
 However, the willy Canadians not adverse to making trade their terms. They would be willing. for instance, to let us have few Arctic islands, which are the property of the Dominion Govern ment Among the islands in the District of Franklin are Ellesmere, where shall establish an Arctic meteorological station next year; Banks, where Stefansson wntered eighteen years ago when he found his blond Eskimo; and King William, where Sir John Franklin and many of his lost their lives in 1847 If Canada has nothing better than these bleak ice-capped islands to offer the deal is definitely and finally off.
 Perhaps the officilas at Ottawa have been misled by the ironical statement from Ket- chikan, that the panhandle district might be given back to the Indians. Actually it has population of nearly 10000 and it's mines produce more than S4000000 worth of minerals annually. Its fishing industry is valued at S15,OO0OO0, and the investment in packing plants is estimated at $50000- 000 It has an almost unlimited supply of pupwood
 The intimaton that might trade this valuable district for a few frozen islands, however large, tends to chill the spirit of barter Our principal interest was to see how the Volstead Act would work in spright- ly Quebec. The suggestion that we extend it's blessings to Ellesmere and Victoria Islands is merely irritating.

Differ On Dry Question

The strange political status of Prohibition is exemplified by re- cent outgivings of the two party chairman, whose position disquali- fies them, by tradition, from mix ing in party controversies.
 Within a few days Fess promised to do everything in his power to keep the Republican party dry, and sRaskob sought organized Democra- tic support for his plan to submit a repealer.
 Here is one subject that is no conformist to traditions and one that does not respect parties.
