In 1920. Leo Teats was appoint
ed chief deputy prosecuting attor-
ney of Pierce county, serving three
and one-half years and directing
prosecution of numerous major
criminal cases. He resigned in 1928

Fought for Schools
Teats represented schools of the
state in the action tried in Tacoma
involving $4,000 per day which
officials of many counties sought
to divert from tax moneys allo-
Gated to schools TO county general
funds. Though the decision here
was adverse to the schools, Teats
carried the appeal to the supreme
court and won judgment for the
schools. He considers this one OF
his most important cases in recent
years since every teacher and other
school district employee faced an
average cut of $50 per month from
already low salaries.

Public Opinion

PRINCETON. n. 1.-The present
strength of Wendell Willkie, far
from being mere accident of
politics. is part of a basic trend in
American public thinking trend
which began as far back as 1887.
That trend is toward greater ac-
ceptance of the leadership of big
businessmen in national affairs,
and it represents fundamental
change in the sentiment toward
business which was current in the
early days of the New Deal. No
where is the change more clearly
revealed than in a nationwide sur
vey just completed by the institute.
The survey shows that there is
comparatively little sentiment left
in the nation for greater regula-
ton of business in the interests
of reform. That fact may have an

may happen. Old Moore's Alman- ac, a British publication long in vogue in Europe, offers list of predictions, believe them or not, which at least gives ground work of suggestion as to what may happen. Here's some of the prophecies for l940.
 Hitler's health will fail and Field Marshal Hermann Goering will succeed him and this may open pathway to reconcilia- tory peace. Generally, it says that there will be a strengthen ing of the monarchies of the nations of the world and disintegration of authoritarian governments. Important monthly prediction for l940 follow:
 February, Japanese imperial istic aims will be sharply check ed, probably by the United Stat es; Germany and Italy will have economic and political crises; something sensational is promis- ed in March about a Nazi lead CT; Prime Minister Chamberlain will make a major political ach ievement in April, leading to pac ification of Western Europe.
 In May, there will be a cyclone off Florida, adverse conditions in Wall Street, possibly revolutions in Germany and Italy and much military activity in Poland, Rus sia and Rumania. In June, Pre- mier Mussolini and King Victor Emanuel must watch their steps because the signs are bad. In July, military activity will threat en Russia, Iraq, Hungary, Poland and Rumania.
 These are the predictions giv en by this British Almanac. The reader can take them, or leave them, or shun them, as he or she sees fit. Personally, the editor will leave them. Anyhow, they excite imagination.

Scientists and hard-headed mat ter-of-fact people turn hands down on soothsayers and those who feign to read the future.

THE MAIL MUST GO THRU

Announcement early tn s month that the business of The Nome Post Office under Guy E. Nish Postmaster had climed into the brackets of a second class office, came as welcome news for Nome.
 Under his able and efficient dir ection, and the energetic work of his staff, the Nome Post Office classed previously as third class office, automatically becom es classified under a second class distinction.
 Postmaster Mish, in comment ing on the increase in business during the past year, which ac- cording to the Postal laws auto matically raises classification, att tributed the reason to the avail ability of new airmail routes, and the increased gold produc- ton of this section of Alaska.
 Since inauguration of the air mail route between Fairbanks and Juneau, the amount of air mail leaving the Nome post office has been steadily increasing, which goes to show that Alas kans and particularly those in this section of Alaska not only are highly airminded but also airmail-minded.

added fuel to the opposing fires.
And he himself maintained he would
fight to the last gasp to save his

The opinion expressed by members
of the committee, however, was that
Mr.. Simpson was likely to be ousted,
as planned by the Deweyites, al
though he would be able to lead
some of the New York delegates
to the national convention to vote
against Dewey. The Dewey mana
gers have determined to call the

convention and to supplant Mr..

against the old guard in the party

find himself making common cause

he will rely upon support of those
delegates who are backing Frank

Simpson was lining up, has now
virtually given his approval to the
