sistency-We are miserable indeed.
 There are certain laws which gov- ern mans relationship with man, and 1t is the violation of the prin- ciples underlying these laws which has involved us in this present war. Individuals are plunged into un- happiness when they break the laws of the physical and moral universe, and nations likewise are disturbed and eventually destroyed when they violate certain principles which con- trol the relationship to group to groups. Europe Is great, seeth- ing caldron because of Its racial, cultural and religious differences It has been unable to conduct its affairs in a peaceable and neigh boriy fashion.
 The great statesman, Cicero, ap- preciated the international situa- tion with amazing penetration many centuries ago. He prophesied the coming of time i've may well hope we are standing on the threshold of it) when "the same law ever- lasting and unchangeable will bind all nations at all times: and there will be one common Master and Ruler of all, even God, the framer, the arbitrator. and the proposer of this law.

There are two kinds of idealists. One sort is starry-eyed and wishfuI. The other combines idealism with practicality.
 Both Mir. Roosevelt and Mir. Dew. ey appear to be members of the sec- 'ond group. The coming peace is not being guaranteed to last forever; but the hope is it will last at least 100 years. Universal disarmament re- mains fine ideal, but 1t is not be- ing anticipated this time; at least the United Nations are to be armed and have the means of Enanufactur- ing more arms, ilanea and ships when and f needed, while the de- feated nations Ire to have their arms-making facilities either ellmu mated or greatly curtailed.

 One thing which pleases COP leaders on Capitol Till k tho Idea Of Q Secretary of State selected from the Senate, Present members of Senate always have got along well with Cordell Hull, Q former Senator.

 LOOKING AT THE RECORD Dewey has been talking about cleaning up Washington. There. fore, 1t is now important to ex- anime the prosecuting record of Governor Dewey on political easeS since he became chief executive of New York.
 On Sunday evening, Dec, 10, i043, q delegation of high.ranking Re- publieanS called At the Governors mansion in Albany. They ins eluded Lieut.. Governor Joe R, Hanley, Speaker oswald Heck, Majority Leader Irving Ives of the Assembly, and Senate Majority Loaderm Benjamin Y. Feinherg. They asked Dewey to supersede Q Grand Jury which was to convene on Tuesday, Dec. 2i, at 10 Q. n,
 That Grand Jury, called by the
 O'C0nnell Democratic Adminls-
 tFatl0n In Albany, was to probe
 and prosecute alleged graft and
 irregularities In the Albany Sen-
 ate and Assembly. Since the

 both Houses, naturally lt meant that some Republicans would get hlt. Panic, therefore, had swept Albany.
 So at the unique hour of ten on Q unday night, Governor Dewey issued an order supWsed- ing the local Grand Jury and set. ting up two Grand Juries Of his own. V. NOTHING IMPORTANT
 HAPPENS
 Those Grand Juries have been lahoring for nearly Q year, and nothing of any consequence has happened. A flood of subpoenas has been issuor - approximately 5000. The books Of various stores, corporations and hotels, especial. ly the Roosevelt hotel in New York City, have been seized or examined. Legislators claim their phones have been tapped,
 Records oe Che Roosevelt hO. tol ere reported by investigators
 Interesting. One New York
 state Senatorial Committee spent several days at the hotel, and afterwards sent In . bill Co New York state for several thou. sand dollars to defray . stay of juvenile delinquency. However, the books of the hotel showed
 that the money went largely for whlskey, football tickets, flowers, thater tickets and fur coat.
 Several Republicans, plus . few Democrats, were involved. What these purchases had to do with juvenile delinquency k not known. But Governor Dewey clean-up Grand Juries to date have done nothing tangible about them. FEDERATION IN ALBANY
 Several other New York legisla. tive committees got money for unique purpose, not illegal, but the same type of thing Governor Dewey has rightly lcritlcixed In washington. Apparently, how- ever, they were tolerated in Al. bany. There was c $i0, 0,000 commit. tee to study the rise and fall of the tides on Lake George; Q Si5,. 900 committee to examine treaties with Indians. and Si0,000 com. mittee to investigate chiropractors. Most interesting situation in Albany, however, involves Lieu. tenant Governor Joe R. Hanley, the likeable old-time politician whom Dewey personally selected to run in . by-election and to succeed him in case he becomes President.
 The Albany Grand JuFy which

Dewey % suddenly superseded on . Sunday night, last De. celnber, was scheduled to probe . charge that Lieutenant Gov ernor Hanley put his son on the state payroll and then drew most of che salary paid Co hls son. Such an action, if true, would be . violation of New York law.
 This column interviewed Lleu- tenant Governor Hanley, and he admitted that his son Jim had been employed As an attorney for Meaeh, Harmon, Lytell and Black more, Buffalo accounting firm, from April ], 1889, to July 1, 1889, while the firm was installing . new system of budgeting costs for New York State. During that brief period young Hanley re- ceived eS,000. Of that amount, e2I000 showed up in the account of his father.
 HANLEY DIDN'T KNOW
 s'I dlangt know the money had been put in my account" Lieu. tenant Governor Ilanley told this column, "untll l went to the bank Co arrange . loan and they told me ! didn't need t0 borrow any money because my son had deposited 5000 to my account. Jim owed me around Ss,000 ! had spent for hts edu. cation and he was anxious Co pay me back. I was quite sur. pFlsed Co hear about the deposit.

 Another man who helped put young Hanley on the payroll is former Deputy State Controller Charlie Mullins who, when called before the Grand Judy, refused to waive his immunity and would not testify,
 It b not the purpose of this column to pass on the merits of the alleged case against Lieutens ant Governor Hanley or any other New York legislator. Their activi- ties were similar to some of the petty operations, nepotism and lobbying which this column which this column also has exposed in Washington and which Governor Dewey quite rightly has promised to clean up. The point Is that close to home in Albany he hasn't cleaned up-yet.

 Now that Christmas shopping for men overseas has ended, 1t is none too early to start gathering holiday gifts for the civilian front.

Tn these days of extreme n1an-power short ages, every early purchase will help take 6 tremendous load oil the harrled department and gift stores later on.

 The formula for Hair Tonlc you recommended twTltes N. O. 70. - much Co my condemnation, until I realised tho man uses the term ''hair tonlc'' as some people use the term tstlmulant' for alcoholic il- quor) is doing ats work. Now I want Co know what to use to cuunteract thO yellow or reddish stain ila my gray hair without loss Of its benetlt. ! wash my hair every two weeks with ordinary toilet soap and water rinse it several times In clear water and finally use inlld bleach of bluing, (M. Q. D
 The formula to which the cor- respondent refers ia given In the pamphlet "Care of the Hair and Control of DandruR" (nailed on rec quest if you provide stamped, self- addressed envOlope.) 10 is c solu. ton of sAlicyiio acid and Tesorcin in toilet water, to apply to tho scalp by means Of an atomizer with tip bent ct right angle and almost In contact with scalp, night and morning, for excessively oly or greasay soap and hair, l. That is the one drawback about using rOsorcln-it tends to impart Q yellowish or reddish stain to white, gray or very blond hair. This stain disappears . month or two after you discontinue applying the resorcln. Persons with dark or brown or "black" halr may use TO. soroln with little or no indication of such staining Of the hair.
 The only recourse for M. c, l., I reckon, is to join the Iron and Tea Club. Put piece of eopperaa (that ls iron sulfate, not copper) the size of Q pea into Q pint of freshly brew cd tea, preferably black tea, Now that's what the lady said, the lady who discovered this harmless honies ly way to dye gray or graying hair and keep !t brown or dark. She said black tea. Another time we'll wrangle about tea. Here con only tell you what the lady said. Use your own judgment and inclination as to the frequency with which you apply iron and tea to your hair. one good way Co apply 1t is by welding c soft brush with It and brushing the hair lightly. Another good way is by dipping Q clean soft cloth in it and drawing strands of hair through the cloth--the object being to apply the iron and tea to the halr but not to the sceip-al- though no particular harm is done if some gets on the scalp
 Candldly if you join the & T Club you must come In on probAs ton. If you don't like 1t. then you can get it--you can 60 out quietly. I hope. Some people like It and some don't.

JAP GOVERNMENT
 MONEY RECEIVED
 FROM PHILIPpINES

A souvenir in the form of a one-peso note, used by the Japa- nese in occupied territory, has been received in Juneau by Tom San born of the Yellow Cab Co.,, the gift of Allen Grasling, Juneau young man now in the armed forces.
 Grasling took the currency from the body of a Jap he shot during the invasion of Leyte Island.
 The former Juneau soldier was one of five who occupied an island off the Philippines for five months previous to the invasion. He said the Jap, a sniper, had tried to get him. The souvenir, however, bears mute evidence as to who got who.
