Before the ink had dried yester- day on the first issue of this column, and also before Empire newsboys had time to deliver the first paper, On the Hook had made it's first mistake. The mistake was in cred iting one mans fish to another.
 Piscatorially speaking, here is the mistake in the very words of the injured Isaac Walton:
 Fishing Editor, The Empire: In the interests of reportorial accuracy, I wish to state that R. H. tRay) Stevens can get my groceries, or l get his; that he can receive my mail and bills, or I receive his; and that he can have my social security num- Der. draft number or interest in the Nenana Ice Breakup-but I em- phatically refuse to have him catch my fish in Lake Florence, or any other spot Piscatorially yours, R. H. STEVENSONS."

 At least four large kings were &C., counted for last Sunday, as early this morning, answers came to the queries as to just who was catching the fish at Aux Bay, that everyone claimed some one else had.
 The party on the Jerry, George Skuse' little boat, brought 'em back to prove the stories that some one was hooking them. Mrs. William Byington landed a 35-pounder in Aux Bay and then before the big king had stopped struggling, her husband landed one that weighed exactly the same. Twins.

ganlzed farmers. At the recent C. TO.
convention, leaders announced a 5000 600
fund to unionize the oil workers in the
South. Part of this program calls for
abolition of poll taxes and active partici-
patton in primaries and elections against
Senators and Representatives with
"anti-labor" records in Congress.
This is the same technique announced
by the America First Committee. It is
revival of the old Anti-Saloon League.
public utility and railroad strategy OF
non-partisan support, which includes
financial contributions to those candi-
dates who promise in advance how they
will vote. The Anti-Saloon Leagues
campaign was directed by shrewd men,
possessed of expert knowledge of practi-
cal politics and inspired by an almost
religious zeal. 1t is doubtful whether
the leaders of organized labor as yet
have this shrewdness, experience and
enthusiasm.
The Professional View.
Professional politicians are concerned
with the mechanics of primaries and
elections. Federal and local patronage,
in their eyes, takes precedence over
issues. In one respect the Republicans
are in better shape than for some time.
OF the 48 States, 20 have Republican
Governors, and many Of the larger cities
have Republican or non-partisan Mayors.
These Republican States include such i'm
portant political units as Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Wis
consin.
The professionals also want support
from the proper people. Mr. Willkie
knew this when he announced he would
speak in behalf of those Republican can
didates who have voted for the admins
tration's foreign policy. Mr.. Roosevelt
knows it. and while he may formally
deny that he is taking an active part
in primary or an election, he can be
counted on to write letters or make press
conference remarks which can only be
interpreted as his advocacy for the re-
election of favorite The failure of his
purge" in 1888 has probably taught him
that it is bad politics, even for Presi-
dent, to try to bring about the defeat

Citizens Council
Indorses y Chances
For Liquor Control
Beverage Advisory Boord
Wants Men on Beats
To Putrol Embellishments
To Petrol Establishments is

The % proposed changes in liquor
control were indorsed last night by
the Citizens Beverage Advisory
Council, which also passed a reso-
luton asking the Commissioners to
place responsibility for patroling
liquor establishments with the men
on the beat.
In indorsing the % original pro-
posals for amendments to the Alco-
hol Beverage Control Act and reg
ulations, the newly formed organ
ization placed special emphasis on
proposals for the control of liquor
prices and prohibition of liquor
prices in advertising.
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard, president
of the council. pointed out that
seven States already prohibit the use
of prices in liquor advertising and
that such a proposal is now under
consideration in New York.
She said she considered price ad-
vertising a welfare problem" be-
cause advertisement of cut prices
was an "inducement to drink"
See Service Mems Protection.
Shifting of the responsibility for
patroling licensed establishments
and for enforcing the A. B. C. Act
from a police headquarters squad
to the men on the beat in the pre-
cincts was proposed as an effort to-
ward handling the problem of SOL
diers and sailors on leave. 1t was
also pointed out that this closer
watch might cut down the number
of liquor store robberies.
Franklin G. Sartwell of the
Beverage Industry Committee pre-
dicted that when the Commissioners
act on the % proposed amendments
and regulations they would approve
the stand up bar" curtail the size
of liquor signs, enforce the segrega-
tion of liquor from other products
in general stores and recommend
the later closing time on Saturday
nights, but would do nothing to
help the industry get on its feet and
conduct itself in wise manner.
Late Saturday Sales Endorsed.
All but one member present,
Walter F. Wasson, president OF the
West End Citizens Association, were
in favor of the am. instead OF
midnight Saturday closing hour for
serving liquor, on the ground that
'it's human nature not to 60 home
at midnight" and partygoers, some
times intoxicated, drive into Mary
land to continue their drinking.
Favoring the proposal to ban the
sale of liquor within 600 feet of a
school, Milton Kronheim, chairman
of the Beverage Industry Committee,
said it would eliminate controversy
among schools, churches, parent
teacher groups, citizens associations
and the A. B. c. Board.
In response to a suggestion that
licenses be provided for every one
over q, to prevent sale Of liquor to
minors, Mr.. Sartwell said that liquor
stores now make it policy to ask
Youths of doubtful age to produce
their selective service registration
cards before selling them liquor.

 IRISH SPYING
 The English, like members of the American Legation, have rationaliz- ed the whose business and know that 1t is virtually impossible to try to keep secrets from a people who have such a heritage of knowing the other mans business.
 So they seldom attempt subter- fuge because, as American Minis ter Gray says, "The Irish have lived underground for so long that, with their experience of the Black and Tan days, they can outsmart anyone that tries to get cute with them.
