her carefully, much intrigued by
her beauty and youth. Her enthu-
siasm, too. He thought it very
engaging.
He suggested a Hqueur. She
hesitated. She had never tasted a
liqueur before. But after all her
talk, if she refused, he would
probably think she had been
posing, or that she was afraid
of him.
So she accepted.

WHEEL LANDING MADE
 BY BARR PLANE, TAKU

The wheel lTequipped North Can ada Air Express Pilgrim transport plane piloted by L. F. Barr, accom- plished a successful landing yester- day afternoon on an emergency field staked out on the ice at Taku, and returned to Juneau last night.
 George Robbins, Nels Flatekval, A. w. Kaska, and D. A. McPhee were passengers to Taku aboard the plane, which also carried McPhee's five dog team, and a quantity of freight for Capt William Strong.
 Capt. Strong will be a passenger to Taku on a flight scheduled for Monday, and Mary Joyce, famous dog -musher and her dog-team, will probably travel to her Twin Glacier resort aboard the plane early next week.
 The Pilgrim plane is scheduled to make scenic flights over Juneau and Mendenhall Glacier tomorrow afternoon starting at l o'clock.

Queer World.

Dancing in the streets or in the public
parks to the tune of w. p. A. music may
be good boondoggling and fine for those
who like that sort of thing. AS long as
the fiddler is being paid he should be
allowed to fiddle, and there may be
something to be said for dancing in the
streets on hot Summer evening, even
If 1t is difficult to remember what it is
Nevertheless, there Is something SO
utterly inconsistent about providing
dance music at public expense for adults
In the evening and at the same time
locking up the school Fairgrounds during
the day and forcing children to the
streets that w. P. A. music will sound a
discord family suggestive of Nero's fiddle.
OF course, the comparison is unfair,
and all that sort of thing. OF course,
the money for w. P. A. music is supplied
not to enable people to dance, but to
help needy musicians. OF course, the
funds for playground maintenance and
the funds for w P. A. are two separate
and distinct things.
But, all the same, the picture remains:
Fairgrounds barred with lock and key
during the day, forcing children to the
Streets-some of them to their death
while the grown-ups dance at eventide
in the streets or in the parks to Gov
eminent music.

the conventions have been waiting for
the regular business" of the gatherings.
1t may be that it is regarded as neces-
sary to keep the listeners ears filled with
sound lest they lapse into inattention
while the multiudes are dinning the
ether with their demonstrations or while
the conventions are idling in awaiting
the reports of committees or the arrival
of participants. Perhaps it is needful to
some. But to the multitude sitting in
homes and halls throughout the country
the ballyhoo is simply tiresome and OBJ
jectionable. And it must be said that
even if it is necessary to keep up the
hullaballoo it be done with more regard
for the standards of good speech and
with less obviously artificial stimulation
of intense excitement over what are
often very commonplace situations and
occurrences.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Oratorical Oracle.
Our Uncle Jim speaks long and loud
We point to him with pride. a.
His eloquence stoops from a cloud ~
And takes us for a ride.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" he sings
In accents clear and strong;
An old bandwagon then he brings
To illustrate the song.
My Uncle Jim is stout of lung,
He doesn't try to Groom.
From old Kentuck' State he sprung,
The same as DanI Boone.
The hosses nibble mint leaves there. ,
AS corn and colonels thrive,
And eloquence will fill the air
While Uncle Jim's alive!
He has an audience rehearsed.
When he steps out to speak
All opposition is dispersed
Or rendered dumbly meek.
His voice might call for an "Amen"l
But that's too tame for him;
We just shout "Hallelujah!" when
We hear from Uncle Jim.

Another Tradition Gone.

The Democratic conventions abroga-
ton of the two-thirds rule is in keeping
with the spirit of the times which moves
this convention. Other traditions as
sociated with the Democratic party have
been gradually taking back seat, and
this relic, which never had much to de-
fend it except the once solid Souths
jealousy of its veto power, never really
exercised, has been tossed overheard with
more ease than would have been possible
in any convention less subject to the COM
plete domination of the party chieftains.
The quid pro quo promise to consider
possible reapportionment of delegates
four years hence, perhaps increasing the
representation of Southern States, doubt
less facilitated abrogation.
The two-thirds rule might be credited
with having influenced the course of
history, for without it Champ Clark
might have been called to the presi-
dency instead of woodrow Wilson. It's
champions might also defend it on the
ground that two-thirds is more con-
vincing test of unanimity of choice than
a mere majority. But in nation which
governs itself largely through majority
rule the two-thirds requirement had no
logical excuse in a political convention.
Certainly this convention was the time
to get rid of it. There is only one can
didate, which would have made the ap-
plication of the rule now meaningless
rite. Under other circumstances. any
move toward its elimination would have
been construed as benedting one OF sew

Help From Philadelphia.

Recognition by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Philadelphia of the
case for District representation resulted
from the persistent efforts of Commits
siener Allen, Representative Mary Nor
ton, Secretary Roper George P. Marshall
and others loyalty associated with them
in what many seemed to regard as a
hopeless task. That fact alone increases
the community's gratitude.
The form of ecognition-adoption Of
a resolution calling on Congress for study
and a report ION granting to the
residents of the District of Columbia the
right of suffrage"-should be of as much
practical value as incorporation of
plank in the national platform, which
had been the first objective. The car
rying out of a platform pledge, like
response to the spirit of the resolution,
would depend on Congress under any
conditions. And Congress would nat
urally pave the way for its future action
by thorough study of the subject, which
1t is now petitioned to undertake.
Such studies, in the form Of hearings
on various proposals for District suffrage
have been made before, but in only one
case-the Senate District Committee in
1s22-have the studies been complete
and followed by report. The over
whelmingly favorable report of the Jones

on the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution, sponsored by the Citizens
Joint Committee on National Represen-
tation, which has been reintroduced in
practically the same form in succeeding
Congresses. Commissioner Allen, a
member Of the Executive Committee Of
the Citizens Joint Committee, was spe-
cifically delegated to the task of work.
ing for national representation at Phil
adelphia.
The achievement of Commissioner
Allen and his associates is not confined
to the conventions passage of the reso-
luton. OF great value to the Districts
case has been its advertisement through
speeches before the Resolutions Commit
tee, the widespread distribution of liter
ature on the subject, and the picturesque
demonstrations in the form of Mr..
Aliens Indians and Boston tea parties"
AS Mr.. OMahoney said in a radio speech
from Philadelphia, the movement for
national representation suffers from
general Indifference" not in the Dis
trict, but out in the country, where only
a small proportion of the people know
anything about the disfranchisement of
their fellow citizens in Washington.
Those who took part in the efforts at
Philadelphia, ike those who worked for
the same ends at Cleveland, have done
much to give helpful publicity to sit
uation that must be known and under
stood before it can be remedied.

opened on Wednesday, will hold its final
session late Sunday afternoon. These
proceedings will be broadcast by both
national networks and will include the
speeches of acceptance Of the nominees
for President and Vice President.
If the Democratic high command does
not prevail upon Gov. Lehman to run
again for reelection in New York State
there's a plan, according to gossip cur
rent in Washington, to nominate Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
jr, in his stead. The idea would be, so
the story goes, thus to assure the Demo-
cratic national ticket of certain special
elements of vote-getting strength which
Gov. Lehman commands. Word drifting
down from the roaring banks of the
Delaware is that New Deal leaders re-
tain confidence that Mr.. Lehman will
yet consent to aspire to a third term.
Conspicuous pressure to that end has
been visible at Philadelphia.
Refusal of conservative Democrats like
Senators Glass and Byrd of Virginia,
Tydings of Maryland, Adams of Colo
RADIO and others to serve on the Resolu-
tions Committee will rank as one of the
most significant developments of the
tumultuous week at Philadelphia While
it's indicated that the Senators will sup
port the President for reelection, their
unwillingneSs to be identified with
formulation of the platform denotes un-
mistakable lukewarmness toward the
New Deal. To what extent this will
manifest itself in the form of dimin-
iShed Democratic vote is matter OF
guesSwork. 1t is nevertheless factor
that fills Republican leaders with mount
ing belief that disaffection within Demo-
cratic ranks is far more widespread than
Rooseveltians like to admit and is bound
to rebound substantially to Gov. Lam
don'S benefit. Mr.. Farleys convention
warning against overconfidence suggests
that Sunny Jim is not without qualms
on the subject.

convention will make its own rules,
establishment Of the precedent at Phila-
delphia is done with an eye to the future.
While the two-thirds rule is eliminated,
the unit rule-binding State delegations
to the decision of the State majority
is retained. That gives the incumbent
administration, with its control over the
Office holders who constitute most of the
delegates, the inside track in debating
the nomination Of the candidate four
years hence. If an administration can
not control a majority of State dele
cations, its influence will have sunk
to such level that the choice of any
succeeding candidate is apt to be a
more or less helpless gesture anyway.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

With his gift for direct statement,
Chairman Farley hit the nail squarely
on the head when he opened the Phila-
delphia convention by striking the actual
keynote of that carnival Of racket and
joy-that the 1886 issue is simply
whether the New Deal shall be con-
tinued. The Democratic generalissimo
might have gone farther and remained
is whether Mr.. Roosevelt is to be given
another lease Of power. For long time
it has been tacitly admitted on both
sides that the electorate in November
will vote not so much for principles as
"for" or against" r. D. r. Senator
Vandenberg sounded the battle-cry from
the Republican standpoint when he de-
clared at Cleveland that the G. o. p.
objective is to stop Roosevelt" That's
what all the shooting and shouting will
be about, to the exclusion Of virtually
everything else. The country will, Of
course, have in mind the things for which
the President stands, including his record
in relief, recovery and reform, and will
make up its mind whether 1t wants any
more of it. But overwhelmingly con-
spicuous in voters thoughts will be Mr..
Roosevelt in person. He undoubtedly is
the issue. Democrats say they're eager
to accept such challenge, believing they
could have no better issue.

Radio listeners think Senator Joe Rob-
inson. permanent chairman at Phila-
delphia, slipped cog at the outset of his
convention address. Paying tribute to
Senator Guffey Of Pennsylvania, the
Arkansan seemed to refer to the Key
stone New Deal boss as Joseph M"
Guffey, or at least that was what it
sounded like over the air. The Senator's
name is Joseph F." Senator Hattie
Caraway of Arkansas talking into floor
microphone during the Robinson well
coming hullabaloo, sprang a brand-new
broadcasting salutation-"Hello, World"
That was the most territory any speaker
in the Quaker City this week attempted
to cover.
Republicans speak OF the record in
amazingly confident tones about breaking
into the solid South again this year, as
they did when Hoover invaded Dixie In
1928. They claim to possess confidential
information that at least three Southern
States are Landon- minded and trending
toward the G. O. p. electoral column.
No names are mentioned by these opti-
mistic sons Of the elephant, but little
birds whisper that the fond hopes in
question are pinned on Virginia in par
ticular and to a somewhat lesser degree
on North Carolina, Florida and Texas.
ALI four of those States broke away from
ancient moorings and went Republican
in 1928.

Political Debate Sinks
To New Low Level
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
To the disfranchised resident of WASH
tngton the speechmaking at our two
great conventions will bring some
measure Of resignation. The privilege
of voting for either party seems hardly
worth fighting for. At the beginning of
his great experiment Mr.. Roosevelt de-
clared his willingness to admit failure
whenever he encountered it, and most
Of the few surviving Republicans gave
him a hand. Now we are assured by
Democratic spellbinders that he has
done and can do nothing wrong; while
Republican orators forget that he ever
did anything right. And high-powered
wisecrackers are employed at handsome
salaries to think up nasty things to fling
at the enemy. Whatever the truth may
be about graft and incompetence, it
seems clear that political debate was
never at lower intellectual level
