Autumn.
(New York Times.

When Autumn came rustng across the land scape it the fashion to weep for the Summer that Tears from the depths of some divine despair stained the lines written tendery indoors For those who dwell in the sum- shine, however it is difficult to the birth of any season. After the month of "innocuous desuetude" which is late Summer the year has begun to it's character Nature is in visible progress again. The trees making their last gorgeous stand before Winter reveals their interior symmetry. Every morning new birds appear from the northland their itnerant course to the south and the chckadees and bluejays who will remain all Winter begin to claim the woods and orchards as their Even the skies are yielding Summer to Winter when the stars will be incomparably brilliant, and planets that have been hiding under the horizon until most civilians were safely in bed are constantly seizing of the night for them selves.
 Autumn is always the city's Spring After the Summer lassitude the city fills up again business settles back into state of mercantile preparedness the theatres and orchestra halls remove the Summer dust and the universities rub their students against their scholars more.

The flue needs cleaning and the parlor stove is brought out Of the woodshed once more.
 After the first dawn of Autumn there is no turning back to the last season. For many weeks the sun is warm In the hollows that face the south it pours a heat that produces temperatures of August and the crisp aromatic leaves that nave accumulated along the margins of the bushand hold the warmth after sundown In spite of that 1t is Autumn heat both soothing and stirring.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The Cordova Times account of Judge Wicker shan's speech at Cordova contains the following:
 One of the points at issue in this cam
 paign is the controversy over the primary
 law. Mir Wickersham explained The Demo
 crats have gone record favoring it's re-
 peal This would be decided retrogressive
 step. the Delegate pointed out if this should
 come to pass. The primary law
 acted advancement in self-government
 in Alaska and departure from fraud
 and graft which crept in under the old
 convention system
 Again, Delegate Wckersham directly and prob ably knowingly misrepresented the facts The Demo- cratic Party in Alaska is not and never has been committed to the repeal of the Direct Primary Law. A bill to repeal the Direct Primary Law was passed by the last House of Representatives by vote of eleven to five. Eight Republicans and three Demo- crats voted for it Four Republicans and one Democrat voted against it-almost like division among those of both parties.
 In the Senate the bill was tabled without a dissenting vote The motion to table was made by Senator Sundqust. Republican, and seconded by Senator Dimond, Democrat. There two other shattuck Neither of them opposed tabling the bill.
 The Democratic Senators and some. at least, of the Republicans thought there ought to be a new primary bill passed, but the matter came up when it too late to prepare a satisfactory measure to take the place of the clumsy and costly law under which we working. It the last day of the session that the bill was disposed of
 The Republicans who voted for the repeal of the Direct Primary Law in the House included some of the leading Republicans of the Territory. They were Representatives Allen, Brosius, Burgh Eos ter Helerich, Murray, Nylen and wnn.

STRAW VOTES AS GUIDES.

The New York Times discusses the value raw votes as guides, and concludes that they 8 lthentic in instances where the trend of sen ent is pronounced. In a recent editorial it sai
 Newspaper men are so accustomed to be cited as prime examples of human ignorance, error haste, superfciality and general worthlessness that any opinion head ed in the opposite direction is received in newspapers offices, first, with astonishment then with curiosity, and only after that with flash of gratitude in soft brown eyes Journalism is suspicious of kind words as dog is of smiling stranger, until both his hands are in sight and there is stick in them. When the friendly intention is established, journaIists will readily respond to kindness
 In such a mood the press will receive the tribute to the merits of newspaper straw votes contained in volume on the subject published by the Columbia University Press. The author, fellow in sociology, finds after three-year investigation that newspaper polls more accurate forecasts than straw votes taken by the leisurely publications. First place for all time goes to the Hearst newspapers in the 1928 Presi- dential election. They foretold the Hoover plurality within per cent. of the total vote cast. Second place goes to The New York Herald poll in the 1912 election. with error rate of per cent Since 1920 the newspapers in the National field have not done so we'll They have shown about the same rate of error as other publications l2 per cent.
 The general conclusions to be drawn from this study in straw votes is that they will indicate landslide but are not to be depended for the outcome in close elec- tions The best record made, that of the Hearst forecast in 1928, with an error ratio of 5 per cent, could have conceivably strayed three times as widely and yet have foretold the final outcome-Mr. Hoovers election In that year there were cast nearly 37,000000 votes, of which Is per cent. would be about 5500O0 votes. But MT. Hoovers plurality over Smith was 6,000000.
 On the other hand, an error of per cent in the 1916 election could easily. have predicted the wrong result In that year there were cast 2oOO0,0O0 votes of which per cent would be a million votes, whereas MT wilson's plurality over MT Hughes was, only half that amount. In a very real sense. then, it might be said that the straw vote fails to serve us when we need it most and that is, of course, when the future is most uncertain. It foretels. as a rule, what we expect to happen. not in exact pluralities, but in the lump result Measured by the standards set forth by low Work Times the Hearst and other newspa o,ls this year clearly foretel the election of c

Those Civil Service Questions.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The delightful process Of reducing things to an absurdity appears to have been completed in the list of Civil Service questions submitted to applicants for the position of stenographer in the office of the County Prosecutor.
 Of course there may be some mistake. It IS possible that the whole story hasn't been told It may be that the compiler of the questions is look ing forward to the time when there will be no more County Prosecutors and the legal business of the counties will be handled by $25-a-week stenog- raphers. Certainly this would be an ingenious scheme for saving money, cutting down expenses and reducing the tax rate
 Unless however, such end is sought 1t does seem bit extraordinary to except stenographers, or rather applicants for the position of stenog- rapher to be able to state in detail the number of things that must appear in Sheriffs deed. Or, for that matter to be able to draw in full the necessary pleadings in suit to collect delinquent taxes.
 And in submitting list of legal terms Tor definition the compiler left out the only ones an applicant for job might possibly know-to wit: garnshee and attachment.
 But why qubble? By and large the questions are good ones, failing of perfection only because there not enough of them Why not ask the applicants to write opinion to be handed down by the Supreme Court, demonstrate the latest steps in ballroom dancing, or define tort without using a negative?

CLASS BANKING
BILLS DEFEAT
APPEARS SURE
Administration Opposition
Seems Likely to Scrap
Present Measure.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Ad-
ministration opposition has hit the
Glass bank bill with a tremendous
impact that today appeared certain
to defeat the measure in its present
form.
Eugene Meyer, chairman of the
federal reserve board, proposed to
the senate banking and currency
committee general revision Of the
bill, including the provision for re-
lief of depositors of failed banks.
Meyer would scrap the Glass pro-
posal Instead, he proposed a fed
eral liquidating corporation whose
benefits would be restricted to mem
Der banks of the federal reserve
system.
The Glass 1iquidating corporation
for failed banks would obtain funds
from forced levieS on the reserve
banks and member banks.
Meyer would draw on the treasury
for $100,000,00O and authorize the
corporation to sell S200,000,C00 of
stock in the corporation to the re-
serve banks.
The chairman accompanied this
proposal with a recommendation
for unified system in banking in the
United States, meaning the elem
ination of state banks operating
outside federal supervision.
If relief for depositors were with
held from member banks, many
persons believe state banks not now
belonging to the federal reserve
system would be compelled to join,
thus achieving a unified system
under federal supervision.
The proposals advanced to the
committee by Meyer would have the
effect of striking from the bill the
restrictive paragraphs relating to
bank investments and loans.
He approved of the general pur-
pose of the bill, but challenged
these restrictive provisions as likely
to restrict credit at a time when
deflation is not in the public in
terest.

Railroads lose thousands of dol

thefts," O'Brien said. Shippers

we have to add dozen men to the

coal stealing cases encourage the
crime.
Persons arrested go into court
with plea for sympathy, saying
they took coal only for their own
use. In many cases, however, the
coal is stolen by tons, and is sold
