Republican Vermont, of the live States WHICH oave it's electoral vote to Herbert Hoover last Fall and as traditonay dry it is Republican, is the latest to reject National Prohibition and set the seal of popular approval on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. It was said of Texas, after it had voted in like manner few short weeks ago. that it still Democratic and Roosevelt which was merely synonym for repeal In the case of Vermont probably it is only fair to say It is Republican But it seems that it at least IS Roosevelt and Democratic in so far as it concerns the matter of Prohibition.
 No section of the country now is untouched by the wave of repeal. Wisconsin first heralded its approach Signs of its volume were not less evident as the middle Atlantic States registered their respective wills The South, the Midwest, the Southwest the Pacific Coast and at last the rockribbed New England section all tell of the same tidal sweep of anti-Prohibition sentiment

 That America is moving into new scheme Of existence no longer be doubted. Every foreign observer is impressed by it.
 The most interesting thing about 1t is that what is commonly termed the American revolution is exactly what Europe expected of America.

They may affect radio transmission and they may probably control the ozone content of the air in the polar regions.
 Ozone content of the air is important to Alaskans because the ultra violet or health rays of sunshine decrease with the increase of ozone It is probable that these winds at great attitudes are important factor in changes of weather conditions in the lower atmosphere.

MT Hellenthal had taken part of a course in the engineer ing school of the University of Michigan and planned to get some practical education in the profes- sion through work in the mining and milling of this section.
 Judge R. w. Jennings, who had just returned from the Westward, and Judge F. M. Brown, from that district, who was in Juneau, both warned people against going into the Chisana country without ade- quate provisions. It was equiva- lent to suicide as they could not be procured in the district for love or money, they said.
 Jay w. Bell was appointed to be Clerk of the United States Dis trict Court by Judge R. w. 'Jen- nings, succeeding E. w. Petit.
 It was pay day at the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company and $105 ,OOO was disbursed among the employees of the three divisions of it's great development and con- structive work. Nearly 1000 men were employed.

JOHNSON AND THE MIRA.

The personality of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, MIRA generalissmo, his great driving force his saltness of speech and the determination he is exhibiting ln putting the Blue Eagle campaign being impressed on the entire country. The General seems to have won completely all of the corps of Wash ngton correspondents who delight in printing new Johnson stories.
 Something of all these qualities present in this pungent story he told during a speech as reported in special dispatch from the National capital to the New York World-Teegram
 Once there was very poor farmer, ploughing a field with an and mule. In the midst of the furrow the had an idea He said to himself T don't need to go pulling together" So he laid down and chewed his cud-he would not get up and he would not pull
 So the farmer got in to the yoke with the mule The OK ambled home and ate his hay. At sundown the mule came home tired and worn out and the OK was rested and talkative. He asked the mule:
 What did the farmer say?"
 "Nothing-he just pulled on together with me"
 Didn't he say anything?"
 Nope"
 Didn't he even mention my name?"
 Nope" And then the mule remembered. "Oh yes," said the mule, "a man drove along in blackboard and the farmer went out to the fence and borrowed a chew of tobacco Remember that he did men, tion your name"
 Who was the mann" asked the OK The answer
 That was the butcher
 Now I don't know enough about this quarrel 1.-the coal crisisl to say who is the mule and who is the in this story, but know that the field is not being poughed I know the farmer is the long suffering American people, and I know that the butcher is the public spirit and opinion that is awake all this land at the sound of the voice of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and God help the man or group of men that stands against his drive on this de- pression!
 When Gen. Johnson told this story he had ir mind the differences in the great coal mining industry that preventing the signing of code under which 1t could operate member of tht MIRA family Though it addressed, it nev- ertheless is not without point to all of us, em ployer and consumer as we'll The employer owe. it to his fellowman to get in line, and most O.

(New York World-Telegram)
 Certain London newspapers jubant the prospects of transferring the glory that is Hollywood to England.
 This sudden optimism in a country which has yet created few notable films was produced by the announcement of Douglas Fairbanks that he is |quitting California and that he and Douglas, Jr, are forming a company to spend $50000OO year on pictures in England

 We doubt, however that the British confidence will create any earthquake of alarm just outside of Los Angeles.
