ing or left where they are in case

 One day back in 1887 when the New Deal utility scrap was making Washington weather stickier than usual, I had to get some informa- ton about Commonwealth & South ern, the big holding company Wen dell L. Willkie runs.
 A utility representative in Wash ington said:
 A utility representative in Wash ington said:
 Sorry. 1 can't speak for c. & S.. but I'll pass on your questions
 Then the phone rang.
 This is Wendell Willkie," said the voice, crisp like iceberg let tuce.
 But I didn't know you were in Washington, MT. Willkie."
 I'm not" he snapped, but when a reporter wants my side ol this scrap, I'm ready to give it to him. Shootl"
 From his New York office right next to Wall Street, Wendell Willkie rattled off his answers.
 Gall. me any time" he finished
 And as I wrote my account wondered, as lot of people have lately, what manner of man this Willkie was.
 He Surprises Elm All
 Willkie's the man who joked about a presidential boom while others were desperately trying to launch theirs. He's Jne fellow who actually shooed away able young men who insisted on throwing up good jobs to help Willkie bring down the moon, but finally failed to dissuade them.
 He's the tobacco chewing, fist singing young man who once challenged the Bible on the cam pus of Indiana University, about faced, listened to the Methodists, and ultimately chose the Episco- palians,
 He's the hobo with book learn ing who once turned down a farmers daughter and her 150 acres of Iowa corn land.
 GA few weeks ago, more than a quarter of century later, an IoWan told that story on Willkie at a political rally. After the meet ing, an elderly farmer stepped up and asked the candidate what year he had been a hobo farm hand in Iowa. Willkie counted back for his inquirer. Nope said the old fellow, you ain't the man; I'm looking for chap that didn't exactly turn down the farmers s daughter.'o
 Ousted the Bankers
 Willkie's the rough and tumble Hoosier who went to New York a dozen years ago with a chip on his shoulder for bankers, and fired all but one out of Common wealth and Southern swivel chairs. Then he turned right around and accepted an invitation to lunch from group of Morgan partners.
 (They fooled him for fair. h. stead of trying to tell him how to run his business on the strength of their small stock holdings in his company, they just talked about flowers and the weather. And there sat, Willkie with a use less chip on his shoulder.)
 And Wendell Wtllkie's the man whose slim. lively wife had rather just stroll down the street with her husband than do most any thing else.

 Meets, Referendum
 Topic Is Discussed

A covered dish luncheon, given by the ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance Union was served at the Salvation Army Head quarters Tuesday afternoon at o'clock.
 A number of W.CT.U. members and their friends, including several ministers, were present.
 Mrs. J. w. Clark, local president, presided and the work and future plans were discussed. A picture of Mendenhall Glacier was presented to Miss Sara C. Palmer, National Evangelist for the W.C.T.U., who has been working on three months tour of the Territory.
 Miss Palmer, speaking of her experiences on Alaska and of the much discussed Liquor Referendum said, "The Referendum is not to be confused with the measure dis cussed and defeated by the last Legislature providing for Territorial control of the wholesaling of liq uors to the retail trade. The gen. eral idea of Territorial control is to eliminate all places for the sale of liquors, with the exception of one liquor store supervised by the Territorial Administrator for towns of given size"
