comment: "I would have known that
he would make the woman walk"
But let's get on with this little fam
lily conference. The reason why these
Northern people think we still talk the
language Of Shakespeare and sit be-
tween the ancient Colonial columns
with a colored boy keeping the bees
off us with a turkey feather fan is
our politics. They cannot believe
that people as naive as we are po-
litically can play the stock market or
have country clubs.
Victims Of Prejudice.
III our politics we are still back in
those reconstruction days when my
kinfolk were very active but anony-
nous members of the Mississippi Ku-
Klux. Ever since the Civil War we
have been the economic victims of
our political prejudices. No wonder
Miss Frances Perkins was under the
impression that We go bare-footed.
This is no time to discuss the deep
lying causes of this situation. They
go back to the cotton gin and slavery
and Alexander Hamilton's first tariff
law. We have simply never been able
to separate our politics from our eco
nomics. And We have been, in the
crisp vernacular Of our Northern CEN
ters of culture, taking it on the chin
for rs years.
The North Is predominantly Repub-
lican and the South is predominantly
Democratic When there is a Repub-
lican administration the South is on
the outside, looking in. When a Re-
publican administration does not suit
the Republicans, they very promptly
turn in and help the Democrats elect
Democratic administration: and then
they see to it that the administration
does those things they want done.
And the South is still on the outside
looking in. All we want to know is
that it is a Democratic administra-
ton. We never question what it
does. The one thing that interests
us Is that at last we have got those
Republicans out.
This has been going on long time.
We are now presenting the most strik-

Col. Elmer W. Clark, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Administrator of the PWA, who is in Juneau today for few hours, enroute to Washington D. C.. from Nome where he sent by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes to investigate the extent PWA and other governmental agencies could legally help in the rebuilding of the city has proved most intelligent efficient and understanding representa- tive of the New Deal to Alaska.
 During a short delay in Juneau caused by un- favorable flying weather enroute to Nome Col. Clark thoroughly discussed the Nome situation and also Alaskan PwA projects in general with Governor Troy.
 With splendid expedition and using background of years of accomplishment in his profession, en- gineering, Col. Clark immediately analysed the situation upon his arrival in Nome, thoroughly went over the tentative plans which had been made by the Governors Nome Citizens Committee, and short ly thereafter made recommendations to his chief in Washington for the permanent rehabilitation of Nome. Some of the recommendations have already been approved and indications are that all will be.
 Nome and Alaska grateful to Secretary Ickes for sending a of Col Clarks abilities and character to Alaska in the Nome emergency Further Alaska appreciates the fact that a man of Col Clarks broad-guaged viewpoint has had the oppor- tunity during his slightly more than three weeks in the Territory, to see and study considerable part of Alaska, and also to familiarize himself with the progress of PWA in Alaska, the resources of the country, and it's people.
 It is said friendly gains friends. Col. Clark can be assured he has gained many Alaskan friends through his brief stay in the Territory and he should know also that while this stay was brief it is marked with distinct worthwhile, and lasting accomplishment.

Other Times, Other Customs.
CNew York Herald Tribune0

(New York Herald Tribune)
 Those members of the younger generation whose parents read them-or sent them-the other morn ing Dr. Buffers reflections the lack of manners of youth undoubtedly said either aloud or to them selves: ''Oh yeah?" Certainly they turned away mpatiently when the elders remarked that in their day the young had good manners. As matter Of fact both generations are probably mistaken, and Dr. Buffers indictment should be put upon the nation as a whole-present company excepted.
 What we have in this country-even among the traditionally to be maligned younger generation-s an amazing amount of genuine kindness. On the other hand Americans have never worried much about the elaborate refinements of pollteness in their crystalli2ed forms which go to make lup' what is usually termed good manners Good manners after al conventions of social conduct sanctioned and imposed by custom They differ in various countries and in separate epochs To the well bred Orientals the average Englishman or Frenchman is a social barbarian He is utterly lacking in good manners This is merely another way of saying that he is ignorant of Chinese social conventions.
 Unfortunately too many young Americans are lresentful not much of good manners as of those Iconvenient amenities that go to make up a civil ized life. But the fault is not theirsno more than lis the responsibility for their lack of knowledge of the classics and of the background of European culture. Dr. Butler quoted in this connection, James Russell Lowells remark that Americans are the most common-schooled and least cultivated people in the world" How we be otherwise when the schools emphasize the practical" and the
 useful" rather than the cultural and when, in addi tion the schools are expected by so many parents to relieve them of the and training of their children?
 To the credit of these same youngsters whose manners Dr. Butler deplores it must be pointed out that they have among themselves their codes of conduct to which they adhere. These codes are different from those of their predecessors. To the elders they appear much Europeans appear to the Chinese. But the wonder is not so much that their manners so "bad"-viewed in elder eyes but that in harried world in which the movies" and the radio and speed play such overwhelming parts there is even much sef-discpline as there is. For this may thank our traditional kind ness-and patience

the American built planes however that part of the event is significant and should spur American airplane builders.
 According to Wiley Post, visitor in Juneau today the British plane was specially built Jot for this race while the two American planes taking second and third places, were regular commercial transport planes, the former Douglas flown by the Dutchmen Parmentier and Mon, and the latter a Boeing flown by the Americans, Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pangborn.
 It is encouraging therefore that out Of the nine teen entries second and third place were captured by regular American transport planes.

THE AIR DERBY.

The accomplishment of the English ayiators, c. w A. Scott and Malcolm Black flying an English plane in the London Melbourne Air Derby marks another definite peak in the consistent progress of air travel.
 The distance of 11323 miles from Mildenhall, England, to Melbourne, Australia, as covered by these aviators in an elapsed time of "A hours 59 minutes and 50 seconds, at average speed of 176.5 miles an hour, breaking all previous flight records between the two points by wide margin
 Among many other important and interesting factors this accomplishment brings before the world is how relatively close this brings England to her remote possessions Another obvious fact is that the winning plane was English-built and that it was approximately nineteen hours ahead of the second plane and twenty-two hours ahead of the third plane the latter two, both American built.
 Lack of details just now makes it impossible to say if the English plane that much superior to

(New York World Telegram.)

A story fit for the ironic pen of Thomas Hardy is that of M. M. O'Shaughnessy, builder of San Francisco's great mountain water and power system
 This master builder of dams tunnels and pen- stocks worked the $100,O00000 Hetch Hetchy project for twenty years For years before that he has dreamed of turning a valley in the high Sierras into a reservoir and bringing the melted SHOWS across the San Joaquin Volley to the city by the Golden Gate. October 28 his dream will become reality when Secretary of the Interior Ickes offciates at a ceremony turning Hetch Hetchy's water into a reservoir in the hills above San Francisco.
 The builder will not be there He died last Friday, at 70.

BY JANE JORDAN

a measure of their moral standard.
Any one of the three can be over
done so as to become offensive.
I believe that girls make the great
est social success and the best COM
paniOns when they are content to
be their natural selves instead OF
constantly initiating the dress and
fads of others. Are there others
who agree with my ideas or am I
all alone. BOB.
Answer agree with you that
smoking has no power to make
men or women good or bad. It's
a senseless habit which many peo-
pie enjoy for no good reason. If
men and women smoke to excess
and injure their health they have
no one to thank but themselves.
But I can't see why any moral
issues should be involved.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am not old,
but l never see a woman smoke
without a sense of shock. Ladies
do not smoke. If they did they
could not be ladies. 1 know all men
dislike to see a woman smoke even
if they don't often say so. The fol-
lowing poem expresses what feel
about tobacco in any form:
Nothing but leaves, the words came
low
In saddened tones so full of woe
NV heart with anguish there was
stirred
While to my ears there came the
word
Tobacco.
Nothing but leaves. yet something
more
When once We see the awful power
II has upon the sons of men
Who chew and smoke that filthy
weed
Tobacco.
Tobacco is a poison weed
It was the devil sOwed the seed
That raised a cursed crop
OF greater curses. gin or rum.
Dear friends, I think most every
one commences with
Tobacco.
A slave TO just a few poor leaves
No matter whose dear heart it
grieves
Whoever is a slave like this
Can never find in endless bliss
a place for his
