HERE and
THERE
by W. n. Smith

The Fall days are upon us
more important in the drastic
changes they invite than those of
any season of the year.
Summer, with its time of lazy in
dolence, has come to an end-vaca-
ton for the children has ended
also. School invites them and US
again to take up the routine of our
duties. Fortunately for the little
people government insists that
they attend school until they ac-
quire at least the foundation for
the education that should be theirs
we must keep our children in
school until they reach 16 years at
least. This may be hardship for
many parents; it's a godsend for
the youngsters.
The old furnace is crying for the
aid we have been too engrossed all
summer to give it. 1t makes a
world of difference whether or not
we are prepared to meet the cold
days that are just over the hill
when the leaves begin to fall as
they do in September.
One of the most important
changes that impend with the end
of the summer is that the settle
ment houses renew, for the seasons
ahead, the valuable functions they
put aside with vacation time.
Some of our churchmen have
claimed that the community houses
are taking the children away from
the churches. And that, of course,
is not true. What they really are
doing is to give to these young

TAMMANY PICKS COPELAND

Political eyes are now focused the mayoralty contest in New York City.
 Tammany has never had overpowering en- thusasm for the New Deal Also, Tammany does not forget that Gov. Roosevelts busting of Jimmy Walker indirectly opened the door to its enemy, La Guardia
 Such is the philosophy which impes James J Doong big chief of Tammany. to select Senator Royal S. Copeland, anti-New Deal congressman from New York as the Wigwam's candidate for mayor LaGuarda, theoretical Republican and active New Dealer is Tammanys enemy. So Tammany will run an ant-New Dealer
 If Senator Robert F. Wagner, who is even more of New Dealer than LaGuardia, could have been induced to run, Doong would have deftly waived this New Deal opposition. Wagner might have beer able to defeat LaGuardia But Wagner won't run so it is to be Copeland.
 However all of Tammany does not eye tc eye with Boss Dooling Indeed. the leaders in foui of the five counties which comprise the Greater City are opposed to Dr. Copeland They declare that President Roosevelt carried New York City three tc one last fall that there little evidence to indicate even on Al Smiths sidewalks and finally that the Senator at 69 is too old for so strenuous job They prefer the much younger Grover c. Whalen or Samue Levy president of the Borough of Manhattan. Botf will enter the primary; they avowed New Dealers
 But Dooling is boss and Dr. Copeland is Tam many's choice. He is likely to win the nomination He still has two years to in the Senate, h won't have to join the army of the unemployed ii as seems highly probable, New Workers decide the prefer four more years of LaCiuarda.

SUNDAY, AUGUST Il, 1887

1 Mingled good and evil planetary influences are active today, accord ing to astrology. Churches of many faiths are to meet problems of widespread significance before the new year.

 I This is a fortunate day for women , who will incline toward aid in charitable and philanthropic move nsents. Peace organizations also will engage their interest. 1 Notwithstanding the expressed and ] widespread hostility to participa- ton in a world war, the seers warn the United States that the nation is to engage in military and naval movements, unless present perils subside.
 ] Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of hard work. Both men and women will face inn 1portant decisions affecting future prosperity.
 Children born on thls day prob ably will be forceful and reserved, ltCurageous and industrious. Sub i jects of this sign overcome serious difficulties.

 MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1887
 According to astrology adverse planetary aspects dominate today. The greatest difficulty under this rule of the stars is overcoming fear and apprehension.
 l While there is an encouraging sign for beginnings of work and for starting of new projects it is well to bar out introducing anxieties aris- ing out of world upheavals.

MISS GOLDS1EIN,
 MIR. POCKMAN TO WED TOMORROW
Ceremony Will Take Place at Watsonville,
 California

desires residents throughout the Territory and tc develop with eye to these desires.
 In Petersburg Sandy Beach and Fall Creek are two locations which admirably adapted to such development. If it is true, for example that the former is spot that would be used extensively by children aId their mothers, the questionnare offers the opportunity for parents to indicate much and thus project that will provide the necessary facilities.
 Similarly, if Fall Creek and other par ticuary suited for type of outdoor activity this can be indicated the questonnare.
 There can be doubt that Petersburg residents are enthusiastic about recreationa improvements for themselves and their children and if representative number will take the few minutes to answer the ques tionnaire they will very likely be hastenng the real- zation of these developments For this reason, in sending the questionnaire the Forest Service will not only get data to the best development proce- but will also get an idea of the enthusiasm for the projects in Alaskan towns. Thus if a town of 1900 sends in twenty-five to fifty replies the Forest Service might logically conclude that it's residents mildly interested at best. If that community answers several hundred questionnaires, the concu- sion will be that the residents not only enthusiastic about the plans but responding in kind to a teous and logical approach to recreational develop ment.

They still persist in giving town, river, or mountain range its native appelation and to this obstinacy the English tongue frequently registers a protest.
 The result is general mixup, of which the present stressful times in Spain have been furnishing some confusing examples. Dispatches day will den- tfy Baearic isle "Ibiza" and the next minute is "Iviza" The taste and fancy of the speler,' as Sam Weller used to put it, has full play. "Maorca , figures in the news in that form, "Majorca " which is the way the British have long labeled it. "zaragoza" which is Spanish appears as "Saragossa which is how Wellington's troops insisted writing it in the pennsuar and is marked Eng fish style"
 No rule for sabilizing the situation seems to exist The Spaniards, obdurate ourselves declare that we live in Filadelfia' though that statement is hard to credit. What is difficult to believe is what the Films say about themselves Declaring that they live in "Suomen Tasavalta" may well wonder who started all that reckless talk about Finland"

YOUNGSTERS GO TO
GREATER RESPONSIBILITY

Imperial county this week and next
will close the doors of her grammar
schools for the last time on hundreds
of boys and girls who have finished what
they now call Junior High School. We
used to call it simply the Eighth grade,
but times change. The unfortunate ones
of the graduates will never again enter
a school door to take up study book.
Luckily, they are in the minority Most
of the youngsters will troop back next
fall to another school. higher one.
To some of them. the ones who have
the biggest chance for success in fol-
lowing years, high school will be great
er responsibility. a new opportunity to
do the things which will prepare them
for the labor that comes after school
ing is done.
1t is too bad that these boys and girls.
going into a new phase of their devel-
opment. cannot look ahead with the
same vision they will have ten, four
teen or twenty years hence. If they could
what difference it would make in their
approach to the studies assigned them
What a difference it might make in the
studies they choose to follow
There are few men and women in
adult life, looking back on the carefree
years of school attendance, who do not
now and then grasp at a half-fOrmed
wish that they knew then what they know
now. And yet, looking back, we are given
to understand the laughing disregard OF
responsibility which moves these chill
dren to look at freedom from school as
freedom from an irksome task. Not until
later will they realize fully that what is
given them in school is a heritage that
may shape the whole future for them.
The parent who can make his children
realize something of the solemnity of this
time of graduation may we'll be doing
them a service they may forget, but can
never outlive

There is no question however, that the res

For that matter, the justice did not write

Senators Hatch of New Mexico and OMa-
honey of Wyoming voted for the Norris plan,

But Chairman Henry F. Ashurst and other
Roosevelt supporters voted against it, defeat

Norris intends to bring up his amendment on

it might pass the upper house. 1t is reported
that Roosevelt is not unfavorable to the idea,
which suggests that he might accept it as part
