VTASHINGTON.-The gag Jim
w Farley" movement is gaining
strength here and may soon make
some .headway. D..
Many of the boys and girls in
the. administration are convinced
that the postmaster general-na-
tional chairman is showing up as
Liability No. ] in the campaign
and that practically every time he
makes a public utterance the net
effect is all to the bad.
No one is trying to get Jim out
of his job as campaign manager,
but in many quarters you hear the
wish expressed that he would
cease appearing as chief spokes-
man for the New Deal and the
Democratic party and confine him
self to getting the votes.
The idea is that Farley may
carry an appeal in New York and
perhaps New England, but that
when you 60 west from there you
start running into an anti-Farley,
anti-Tammany prejudice which
ought not to be inflamed.
There are other men who might
speak up for the party. 1t is ar
gued, for instance, that it would
have been much better for Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace to
have made the charge that Cover
nor Landon in 1888 favored pay
ing off the Fourth Liberty Loan in
greenbacks. V.
AS handled by Farley, this one
fell so flat that Republican Chair
man John Hamilton was able to
make biting reply to Jim's other
remarks without being forced even.
to mention the greenback charge.
TT begins to appear that some
Democrats are willing to do
practically anything to win the
election. Current charges that

RACE QUESTION INJECTS5sELF
INTO OLYMPICS x STjr
(By BRUCE CATION

The man who said that international
athletic competition tends to create friend
shin and harmony among the nations must
have been entirely ignorant of the things
that happen at the Olympic Games. .s..
Judging them strictly on form, these
Games would seem to be about as fertile a
source of international dislike as anything
that mans inventive brain has yet devised.
If the lars which they create weren't SO
funny. all hands would presently be land
ine their marines and taking strong meas
ures. ... .... :"E '..,.
The all-time high water mark seems 10
have been reached in Berlin. Herr Hitler
thanked by his official muscle men, beams
down from his box, prepared to extend the
right hand of good fellowship to the WIN
ners-and right away the show IS stolen Oy
a Young American cOlored by named Jesse
Owens, ably seconded by other American
eolored BOYS named Metcalfe, Woodruff
Johnson, Albritton, Williams, LaValle and
Robinson. e. go. g.,
At this point high comedy enters. Herr
Hitler owes his career to the thesis that
blond Nordics are, ipso facto, superior 10
all other breeds. But he hardly gets his
chair warm before it is clearly proved that
there isn't a blond Nordic on earth who can
give the completely non-Nordic Mr.. Owens
a real race.
Thus Jesse Owens puts the dictator OF
Germany on the spot. The dictator departs
hastily, the world treats itself to chuekle
at his expense, and the most sensational
athlete of the Olympics turns out to be the
very one who can't receive the personal
congratulations of Der Fuehrer.
Yes, it is all pretty ridiculous. But we
Americans might do little bit OF thinking
before we laugh too hustily. After all, we
are hardly in the best of all possible posi-
tions for pointing the finger of scorn at
anyone who gives way to race prejudice.
The race problem is knotty one, and 1t
probably will have to work itself out over
many generations. Getting sentimental
over the athletic proves of Jesse Owene
isn't going to show us how white and black
men can live in eternal amity.
But it might at least remind US that the
problem is there to be solved. And We'll be
in better mood to try to solve 1T II we
give our whole-hearted acclaim to the
young Negroes who put the Stars and
Stripes at the top of the Olympic flagpole

 On the following day after the telegram was read, MT. Hearst indited the following in his newspapers

20 YEARS AGO
From The Empire

After hard legal battle on the part of the defense of Edwar Krause, the jury for his trial on charge of impersonating an officer was secured this morning. The court held a night session last evening and this morning at Il o'clock, after the defense had exhausted it's last challenge, the jury was accepted and sworn in to duty.
 The jury chosen was Bern Hersey, c. H. PaSsellS, John Lund, w. R. Moore, Charles Gillispie, Albert Vile, Loughlin A. Doyle, A. B. Her rell George L. Chase, H. o. Logan, w. B. Hurlbutt, and Frank Adams.
 In his opening statements to the jury, Assistant District Attorney j.. J. Reagan stated that the govern ment would prove that Krause went to the 700 mill at Treadwell and asked Nick King for William Chris tie, on October 29, 1915, shortly after Christie had gone on shift, pr about three o'clock that after noon. Also that Krause presented paper and made the statement to both Christie and King that it was 3 subpoena issued from the court 1t Juneau and that Christie was needed at once MT. King protested that Christie could not be spared from his work and Krause is said to have replied that he had a boat and Christie would only be absent an hour. The government attorney stated that Krause and Christie boarded the boat and that Christie had not been seen since.
 The deIense waved making any statement at this time, and were in structed that if the statement was not made now, then, under practice of the court, none could be made. The attorneys for the defense then waived the right to make statements.
 First witness for the prosecution was put on the stand at three o'clock. First to be called in the case was Nick King, before whom it was alleged Krause appeared and asked for Christie in order to serve the subpoena.
 R. E. Murphy, local representa- tive of the Dupont Powder Com pany, was taken to St. Ann's Hos pital for treatment, after a violent attack of seasickness while aboard the mine tender returning from Chichagcf brought on a bad hem orrhage of stomach and lungs.
