Says John to Elliott
Cleveland Plain peal lerl

Cleveland Plain Dea.er)
 Way back in 1912 as the weary Democrats at Baltimore trying to decide whether to nominate Woodrow Wilson Champ Clark, the nation chuckled when of another presidential Roosevelt blurted an indiscreet truth: Pop is praying for Clark"
 Pops prayers did not have the desired effect The Baltimore convention, arguing that any smart Republican would prefer the weaker Democrat nom- mated Wilson History does not record whether there was disciplinary session ill the White House equivalent of the woodshed.
 The current long range debate between Presiden- tial Son-in-aw John Boettiger and Son Elliott cerning the qualifications of John N. Garner recalls this gay incident of 2S years ago
 Son Elliott and Son-in-law John too mature for the sort of reprimand which may have come to the White House enfant terrible of 1912 Nor there any evidence that the President has desire to re- strain them. The past six years have abundantly proved that the Franklin Roosevelts individuaiss rugged enough to be economic royalists they wanted to be-
 So the John Elliott debate is likely to create no family chasms Probably both John and Elliott are correct It reasonable that in the upand com- ing Pacific Northwest the aimiable Texan is deemed 'too sot in his ways to qualify an appealing pres- dentia candidate Nor will many be surprised that Texan Elliott is keen for Texan for President and Garner is beyond doubt the best known Texan avail able Meanwhile their argument if not carried to the point of tediousness is good fun bit of humor is never amss in politics. where too many take them- selves too seriously.

YES, IT GROWS IN ALASKA

Red clover from Russia cucumbers from Poland and soybean. barley. oats field corn sorghum, buck wheat hemp seed, crabapples and garden peas from -Manchuria grew in Alaska with varying degrees of success, last year
 This international garden waxed and waned at the University of Alaska agricultural experiment sta tion at Matanuska. There and at the similar sta ton at Fairbanks they are learning what will grow and what will not in Alaska.
 The number of things that will grow, thrive as far north Matanuska is surprising Spinach of good quality, with giant tender leaves which stay fresh for long time, uxuriates All seven varieties of lettuce tried did well the leaf varieties producing large, crisp leaves very sweet and tender and the others producing solid, we-formed and marketable heads. Other successes were peas cucumberS, radtshes turnips parsnips swiss chard potatoes clover sunfowers, timothy barley and oats.
 A swarm of Golden Italian bees which wintered over in the root cellar yentured outdoors April 12 and produced 99 pounds of honey
 Raspberries and red entrants did not do at all badly. Neither did sweetpeas, nasturtiums zinnias, larkspur, peoples and pansies
 Far from home but doing well, is Kentucky blue grass which proved hardy even where heavy coat ing of ice overlaid the surface of the ground To- bacco grew vigorously promising future in Mata- nuska cherootS, Some of the stalks reached height of three feet, with leaves large and well formed.
 Only of four varieties of onion could be termed a success. Cabbage proved even tickle, only one of six varieties germnating well maturing normally and producing we-formed heads. The others either failed to germinate or refused to head
 Caulflower, table beets, cabbage, garden beans soybean field corn sweet and three varieties of wheat must be set down failures. They did not respond to tender care.
 So do learn by experiment what to expect of Alaska soil and climate in the way of providing the 4Territorys tables The work of the experiment sta tions is good and which should pay dvi- dends in future prosperity.

White House Shadows
(New York Times

(NeW York I1meS)f
 Mrs. Roosevelt who does not believe in ghosts. admits to Texas audience that she often has a curious feeling while working night in rooms at the White House where many past Presidents have worked. She sometimes hears noises and gets the distinct feeling that there is somebody in the Her friends know that the image of Abraham Lincoln comes to her mind and in of the upstairs rooms that he once used as a study she has visuazed him standing at the window gazing thoughtfully out over Washington.
 1llere is nothing dscomforting in this The White House built of memories well of the materials which compose it's walls It can never lose completely the personalities which have been impressed upon it. It will remain haunted house long it stands, but only in the benign sense that unseen presences may still be watching the destiny of the Republic which each, in turn, helped to guide. No casual White House visitor of sensitive imagination could miss these overtones of the past whispering through the present To one who actually lives among the furnishings used by the great dead and traces and reraces the familiar pattern of their footsteps the impression must be n- 1 tensified hundredfold That it lies in the mind does not lessen it's reality
 If wraiths do gather in the White House they are all in all noble company If, indeed they do return they can look on their work well satisfied. What American, passing by that pillared residence in time of stress could fail to feel treasured to the shadowy figure of Lincoln, just Mrs Roosevelt describes him, gazing thoughtfully from a window

MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1889
 Adverse aspects rule strongly un- til evening, according to astrology. The week should be started with caution.
 The mind may be open to destruc- tive and discouraging ideas which paralyze initiative. Inclination to look on the dark side of things may be emphasized by threatening world conditions.
 Under this configuration broken treaties and agreements may be common enough to cause alarm and uncertainty in International rela- tions. Commerce may be affected by double-dealing and secret trade agreements.
 Mars is in a sign threatening to individuals and nations Sensitiys persons and self-respecting govern ments may be inclined to rebel against imposition.
 The configuration is not fortunate for domestic harmony and although divorces will be less numerous, many may be precipitated under this rule of the stars.
 In the evening the planetary gov ernment is lucky for women and their social interests. Romance should flourish Engagements to marry made on this date should be forerunners of happiness.
 For Queen Elizabeth, astrologers of England predict popularitv Thnv prognosticate for her some form of supreme service to the Empire, en- tailing personal sacrifice not part of her royal routine.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of definite good fortune and intellectual pro gress. Happy marriage is forecast for the young.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be good organizers and natural leaders. Subjects of this sign make successful professional men and women Many have bril- liant minds.

where Vtllc Dollar Rules the
Pulpit, there the Devil Rules the
Pew" ~ EEL

In this land Of form and fashion,
Where the churches are so fine
And the trade mark Of religion,
Is the classic dollar sign,
There is rule that never fails,
And you'll always find it true
Where the dollar rules the pulpit
There the devil rules the pew.
When religion goes a-begging,
Anr the minister's voice is sill,
" h n the minister swaps his
sermon,
For twcnty-dolalr bill,

Gets the church in a stew,
For where the dollar rules the

There the devil rules the pew.
