SMITH FOR PRESIDENT

Since the United States has more people bearing the name of Smith than any other family name, it IS only natural perhaps that there should have been more presidential candidates by that name than any other.
 The first was Joseph E. Smith founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints and prophet of the Nor mon religion, who in 1844 condemn ed the policies of both the Whig and the Democratic parties and an nounced his candidacy for the presI- dency. However, his martyrdom at the hands of an Illinois mob in June of that year cut short his political career. Ia
 Four years later another Smith was in the field as a candidate Gerrit Smith, the New York phi lanthropist, who was one of the founders of the Liberty party in 1840 and it's candidate for President in 184S. In that year he was also indorsed for the presidency by the Industrial Congress at its convention in Philadelphia. Again in 1852 Smith was the candidate of the Lib- erty party and again he was indors- ed by another group, this time by the Land Retormers. In neither case did Smith or his party figure very prominently in the election.
 In 1876 there was another one of the name in the presidential race. He was Green Clay Smith, a native of Kentucky, a veteran of the Mexl- can and Civil wars, rising to the rank of brigadier-general in the Union army before resigning to take his seat in congress to which he had been elected while in the field Re- elected to congress, he resigned to become the second territorial gov ernor of Montana. After three years of service in the West he resigned to enter the ministry of the Baptist church in Washington, D. c. It was soon after his serving as a minister that he was chosen as the first pres idential nominee of the modern Pro- hibition party.
 Just as this dry" Smith failed tc win in 1876, so did wet" Smith fail to win half century later. Fol Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic candidate in 1928, suffered defeat as did his predecessors.

LOWE YACHT POLARIS ON
 WAY TO SAN FRANCISCO

The yacht Polaris, owned by Ed ward Lowe, which called a t Wrangell number of times in the past four months, last week left AL askan waters for cruise in British Columbia waters until about the first of December, when the party consisting of MT. and Mrs Lowe and MT. and Mrs. L. N. Fitzgerald, will return to San Francisco.
 MT. Lowe this year transferred his legal address from San Francisco to Juneau to avoid the heavy CalifOr- mia taxes. At one time he had air mail contracts in the interior of Alaska which he sold to the Pacific Alaska Airways. Until recently he was the Lincoln dealer in San Fran cisco, but is now not engaged in business.
 Because of Alaskan laws relative to a floating domicile, the Polaris is registered from Juneau and that city thus becomes MT. Lowe's home.
 The past four-months' cruise spent hunting and fishing in Alaska was a most enjoyable one. The Loves were hosts to a number of friends aboard the yacht.

TWO OLD sTANDBYS

We all know very we'll that the Canadian people are a nation of tea drinkers, that is, that they drink more tea than any other beverage. It is not surprising, therefore, to find from the latest statistics that, while imports of coffee have beer increasing, the imports of tea have been increasing in still greater ration. During the past twelve months imports of coffee have run up to thirty-five million pounds, an increase of three million pounds, but our imports of tea have risen to thirty-seven million, an increase of seven million.-Prince Rupert Daily Emperor.

Mrs. Wickersham Brings Relatives Refugees From Spain, To Juneau

From far-away, eivil-war torn Spain comes Sonora Dolores Yroo- man, with her son, Daniel Enrique. 6 years old to live in Juneau, re- ports the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Mrs. Vrooman. widow of Henry Vrooman, is the sister-in-law of Mrs James Wickersham, of Juneau. It was Judge Wickersham who helped Mrs. Vrooman escape from Spain.
 Judge and Mrs. Wickersham and Mrs. Vrooman and her son passed through Ketchikan Monday on their way north on the Canadian Pacific liner, Princess Louise. The Wicker shams had been to the states on a trip partly to meet Mrs. Vroo- man and partly on business and pleasure.
 With government troops and re- bels battling to the death almost at her doorstep, Mrs. Yrooman and Daniel Enrique fled Spain last Au- gust IA. She had hoped to get away il September but was beginning to despair of that when a sudden call from the United States consulate at Barcelona told her to be ready in few hours. That was at II o'clock in the morning. At 3 o'clock that afternoon she and her son were in consulate ear on their way to Mar seilles.

CLAMPS DOWN LID
 ON WIDE OPEN GAMBLING

Juneau has clamped the lid Oa wide-open gambling. On order of the city council, Juneau's chief of po- lice, Roy Hoffman, opened a drive last week to stop all gambling in public places in the capital city. The action followed an executive ses- sion of the council at which unan- imous decision was made to open the drive
 The Empire reports that warn ing was given all places such as pool halls, card rooms and beer par lors where cards were played that gambling must stop.
 That means everything" Mayor Goldstein said We have had count less complaints that men who can i'll afford to lose are losing huge sums of money in games here that are running to high stakes and it has got to stop. Wives and families are without the necessities of life because their husbands and fathers have been losing their pay cheeks in these places.
 There are a group of parasite gamblers around this town who are just living off of some of the men working in the mine and elsewhere and the council unanimously agreed that it has to stop.
 Lost Fourteen Hundred
 "One case was brought to my at | tention where one man lost S1400 in a game here the other night and others have lost large sums to the parasites who haunt these card rooms. We are determined to stop it and today Chief Hoffman is around issuing warnings to the proprietors that gambling will not be tolerated from this date forth. We will drive these parasites out of town"
 The mayor said that there is an old anti-gambling ordinance which has not been enforced of late years because of the general sentiment l against an entirely closed town, feeling that two-bit games among men at leisure were of no particular | detriment, but when professional gamblers loot the pay checks of working men when they should go to pay their grocery bills and pro- vide for their families, it is time to call a halt, he declared.
 High Stakes
 Several instances were cited by the councilmen where games ran to several hundred dollars and others of men under the influence of liquor being robbed by gamblers making | change.
 The mayor stated the ultimatum covered all forms of gambling in public places reiterated that those caught violating the law should be l prosecuted

August 26, then at last we sailed for San Francisco aboard the Italian steamer Rialto.'
 Ship Fired on at Sea
 Fate and eXcitemei still dogged their trip. Off the coast Spanish man-o'-war opened fire on the Rial to, daring the wrath of Mussolini The Italian captain speeded his ship and got away undamaged Gt was about this time that an Am erican destroyer was bombed by Spanish planeD
 And shortly after the ship left Marseilles little Daniel Enrique fell and broke his arm There was no doctor aboard so makeshift setting was accomplished, then he received further medical attention in San Francisco and Seattle.
 The Vroomans reached Seattle ff- nally, by way of Panama. They ar rived in San Francisco, September 30, more than month after leaving the old world.

 Great Adventure for Son
 To Daniel Enrique, coming to America is his great adventure. It eclipses the escape from the Spanish revolt. When he reached Seattle he had acquired an Indian suit with feathers and an American flag. He was a sensation, few on the streets there realizing the drama this little patriotic chap, with his arm in d sling. but with fire in his eye. had gone through.
 The father, Henry Vrooman, all Amercan engineer, died last fall. Mir Vrooman had spent some 20 years in Spain. It was there he met the charming Senorita Dolores who became Sonora Vrooman. Little Daniel wore his fathers electrical engineering association button on his lapel.
