Dr. Butler Sees Gloomy Outlook for c. O. P
(New York World Telegraph


 Wide discussion in both Republican and Demo- cratic circles followed the statement by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler that unless the Republican Party, now bankrupt" underwent a regeneration and youth supersedes the offceholders now in domna- ton, it must give way to Liberal Party that would unite the best elements of the two major political groups
 Interest also centered in Dr. Buffers admission that certain party defeat in November 1882" had been foreseen by group of ''the ablest and most dsinterested in the Republican Party drawn from several different States" at conference than year ago, but that these leaders had realized that nothing could be done to avert 1t and nothing to improve the party's future position until that defeat had taken place."
 Tt is that point which have now reached, said pr. Butler, who himself has been the outstand ing leader of the liberal wing of the party for years.
 In his statement, in which he recapitulated the results of the Presidential election, pr. Butler of- fered the following six-pont program for "a regen- erated Republican Party or, if necessary, new Liberal Party:
 l. Budgets must be balanced
 2. Special privileges and every form of private or group interest must loosen it's present grip on government.
 3. Natural resources must be administered in the public interest and not be permitted to be ex- plotted for private gain at public cost.
 4 Obstacles to trade set by high tariffs bar riers must be removed.
 B. Intergovernmental wor debts must be quickly readjusted in the spirit of the Agreement of Lau- same.
 G. International cooperation in control of a universal system of monetary systems.
 The history of the movement for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment proved that the rank and fife of the Republican Party craved constructive and courageous leadership, Dr. Butler declared, and it up to the young men and women to take hold of the reins.
 If something of this sort cannot be done" he warned, then the Republican Party will have gone ! the way of the Whig Party and will soon pass out of existence because of it's incapacity to face the future with understanding and with courage Should that come to pass, then new and truly Liberal Party will be quickly born composed of the very best elements of the Republican and Demo- cratic parties, many members of which now and for years past have been in substantial accord upon underlying political principles and ruling policies although separated into two compet- ing groups by party names and party traditions"
 Tn reviewing the causes leading up to the Re- publican Partys defeat, Dr. Butler declared that since 1919 the vast majority of it's office holders in Washington had been moving steadily toward intellectual, moral and political bankruptcy, and in consequence the overwhelming anti-vote cast at the polls last Tuesday had thrown the organization into receivership.

MOTHERS OF PRESIDENTS.

Queer mistakes sometimes gain wide circulation because some newspaperman depended upon de- fective memory instead of consulting authorities Just after the election enthusiast wrote that Mrs Sarah Delano Roosevelt the only mothe- who had lived to her son elected President Time ths newsmagazine, fell into the error, though 1t said she the second It included Mrs Wash ington the mother of the First President Then someone else remembered that the mothers of Presi- dent Garfield and President Mckinley were alive when their inaugurated.
 But that did not end the discussion. Finally the records were consulted There were other moth- who lived to their become President. Mrs. Roosevelt was the sixth However, she was the only mother that helped to make her son President With the Presdent-El and his wife, Mrs. Roosevelt went to the polls at Hyde Park November and cast ballot for Franklin for President.
 The other mothers besides Mrs Roosevelt who lived to see their sons become Presidents were:
 Mary Ball Washington, mother of George Wash ington.
 Jane Knox Polk mother of James Knox Polk
 Hannah Simpson Grant, mother of Ulysses S. Grant
 Eliza Ballou Garfield mother of James A. Gar field
 Nancy Alison Mckinley, mother of William Mo Kinley.
 When President Mckinley and Ex- President Cleveland riding down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol where the inauguration service hao just been held. MT. Cleveland said there was only one thing in the world that he enved Presidnet Mckinley. He said he would give all that he pos sessed if his mother could have seen him inaugur- ated President

BUY LOCAL SECURITIES.

It ought not to require argument to convince the people of Juneau that the best investments for those with money on which they seek an income are good local securities. The Assembly Company owners of the Assembly Apartment House under construction in Juneau, is offering bonds which draw seven per cent. interest. The owners ana stockholders of this company are among the lead- ing citizens of the City conservative business men who have made good in their own lines. The bonds are backed by more than 200 per cent. oi the value of the securities that offered to the public.
 Juneau people who have invested in local cor norations have profited from the investment There is every reason to believe that it will be the same for investors now or in the future As the Assembly Company advertises, their securities are based on depression values of good Juneau property they are backed by people you know. The money received TOT the bonds is spent in Juneau mostly for labor, ana is kept in this City and help to add to the volume of business here. The securities are as safe as the best in the world. There is not doubt in the world that the money invested is certainly to be repaid with the interest as advertised, The returns are attractive and lot safer than outside invest ments
 Those who invest in sound local securities are not only contributing to the growth and development of the community in which they live, but they ars getting profitable returns for their investments The best investment any can make is ont near at home where he watch the enterprise in which he places his own money, and where he can count without depending on the representa- tions of an agent of distant concern upon cer- tanty that he will get his money back with the promised interest
 The surest way to be safe and to help the local community to grow and thus increase the value of all local investments is to buy well protected local securities.

Alaskans Only Need Apply.
(AlaSka Weekly.)

In a recent interview given to the Juneau Empire Delegate-El Anthony J. Dimond served to set at rest the aspirations of good many out siders who have been all atwitter over the poss- bility of picking some plum in the Federal office which will shortly begin in the Territory. He said, T shall insist that only Aaskans be ap- pointed to fill positions in Alaska. We have people who are qualified for every office to be filled and no one who is not Alaskan will be ap- pointed with my consent"
 Whatever the party utilization we doubt if any Alaskan can be found who will not heartily ap- prove that statement and also breath a fervent prayer that Senator Dimond will be able to prevent carpet bagger appointments which will be attempted without his approbation. Alaskans in all Federal offices would make logical first step toward ultimate complete home rule.

ALCOHOLIC CONTENT OF BEER.

business in the United States have suggested 32 per cent, weight alcoholic content for commercial beer. This would mean per cent in volume
 Leading lawyers and those who have made a careful study of such matters contend that light beer of that alcoholic content is not really and truly intoxicating. They believe the courts would hold that it is within the constitution if Congress would declare it not intoxicating.
 Courts held some years ago that PTS per cent beer was not intoxicating. The Supreme Court of the United States, to which appeal was taken held that the District Court erred in taking testimony on the subject It said that it was not matter for iudicial interpretation, but that Congress was

of their compartment, then at Santa's hat-box and suitcase, la- beled Mrs. Olive Doncaster. San ta, seated opposite to him, had fol- lowed his glance. She had been secretly amused and touched by him all day, but hadn't dared to show it. What puzzled, eager boy he was beneath the surface. Such a relief from Dicky. She was going to be young again.
 Its true, Give" she nodded. T really belong to you"
 I'm kind of stunned" he smiled "I It takes bit of getting used to. .''
 For me, too" She was wonder ing whether she might powder her nose. "It won't tomorrow"

 of course it won't. Everything past will be forgotten"
 "As though this were the first time I had been married She read his thoughts.
 He shifted to her side and slipped an arm about her. She waited pulseless as a doll
 I'm the only husband you ever had" he burst out. Say so."
 She took his face between her hands.
 T can never thank God enough for having given you to me" That satisfied him for the mo- ment. He twisted the wedding ring on her finger-the one he had bestowed on her.
 His mind was in a ferment. Sc many thoughts-so few of them to utter Scarcely more than a week ago had he been caught ir sleeping compartment with her he could have been dragged into her divorce.
 The conductor tapped and en. tered to collect tickets. Give be. trayed the customary nervousness. of the newly welded. Santa watching, found his confusion ador. able. Evidently he feared tha the legality of their relationship might be doubted She'd exper. fenced the same bangs on her frs honeymoon.
 When they were alone again Give reseated himself beside her
 You're awfully quiet" she chal- lenged
 T feel such an amateur" he laughed.
 I shall love living with you ir New York" she snuggled. ! Till now Dicky had afforded al most the sole topic of their con. versations. Would he bring coun- tercharges at the last moment Then, after her release from him would he cease to annoy her?
 Things had moved too fast. Give had judged rightly that after hel ordeal, Santa wouldn't be safe te conduct her own affairs. Wher he'd surprised her that morning two weeks ago, she had cultivated the complex that all her friend. were ashamed of her-that nobody would ever want to be seen witt her.
 The best cure had seemed to bt to restore her without waste O. time to a recognized niche in so. ciety. He had urged immediat, remarriage. She'd permitted her, self to be persuaded on the condi ton that they involved nobody ii their rashness save themselves Hence there had been no guests no wedding presents. Not ever her parents had been notified Their plans for the future had ye to be formulated.

BACK TO THE FARM

There were 2OS,OOO more per-
sons living on farms in America
at the beginning of 1881 than
there were at the beginning of
1880. according to the annual re-
port of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture This is very signif-
icant movement of population
away from the industrial centers
and back into the rural regions,
where the problem of keeping out
of the poorhouse is nowhere near
ly so difficult
Perhaps the most interesting
conclusion which Mr.. Hyde draws
from these and other figures is
that the United States is ap-
preaching the stage of a station
airy population. In all but four
or five OF the big cities the death
rate today is higher than the
birth rate. The coming genera
tions in America must come from
the farms. The secretary believes
that the prevention of an actual
decline in the population calls for
the development OF governmental
policies which will make it in
creasingly possible for a large pro-
portion of our people to live in the
country, even though not wholly
dependent on farming for their
employment.
We must say that We agree
with Mr. Hyde that the dweller
in the small town, or on the farm
is much more secure so far as
the necessities and most of the
real comforts of life go, than
most OF the people who live in
the. cities are. When city folks
talk as they do about the ter
rible distress and suffering of so
many millions of their people
who have no jobs ond no way of
feeding or housing their fami-
lies, they are talking about some
thing that We who live in the
country towns and on the farms
only family comprehend 1t is in
times of general depression like
these that We realize how much
better off We are than our city
cousins.-E

DEFENDS JAPAN

Herbert H. Gowen, for the past
26 years professor of Oriental IAN
guages and literature at the Uni
versity of Washington, defends the
action of Japan in the present chi
na-Japan conflict, against world
wide sympathy with China and be-
lief that Japan is in the wrong.
DR.. Gowen is the author OF An
Outline History of China, Sonnet
Stories from the Chinese, Asia
a Short History. and An Outline
History of Japan.
In a recent letter to The Living
Church he takes exception to an
editorial in that magazine saying
IN part: lit should be pointed out
that in the standing out for the
sanctity of treaties and the rights
of the thirty million Chinese farm
ers in Manchuria Ito say nothing
of the 10000 Chinese coolies in
daily employment on the Manchuri-
an railways to freedom from the
horde of bandits who have made
them their prey for the past three
years, China as well as the whole
civilized world should be grateful.
Japan has in no way broken
any of the pacts you mention; on
the contrary she has suffered from
over 300 violations of treaties on
the part of China and has been
unable to get any satisfaction from
the Marking government; she has
suffered, moreover, hundreds of
outrages against property and per-
son on the South Manchuria rail-
way, long before the incident of
last September; and has patiently
borne the defaulting of Marking
on railway loans amounting to
over a billion yen.
Meanwhile by the creation of
railway system and ports in the
railway zones Japan has made pos
sible the growth of population in
Manchuria from less than a mil
lion to over thirty million at the
present time, and has provided
for these schools and hospitals and
experiment stations of the high
est value. What would anyone say
OF Japan if she were to abandon
these huge investments at the bid
ding of a few chauyanistic poll
