MORE REASONS FOR POSTPONING
PRIMARY DATE.
One of tho excellent things that would be served
If the primary election date in Alaska were post
poned until August would he that candidates would
not bo required to file their declarations of candidacy
until after the party platforms had been adopted,
it would permit the holding of Territorial Conven
tions in May or Juno for tlie selection of delegates
tj the National Conventions at which time Terri
the National platforms are adopted. That would
lcllowed by the National Conventions in June when
tiie National platforms would be adopted. That would
mean thai the issues between parties would bo fairly
drawn when local candidates announced their party
allegiance by filing for nominations on party tickets.
Almost always party conventions, particularly Na
tional conventions, cause many people to transfer
their party allegiance or to become independents. In
tiieco days when people change from party to party
■lightly it would he well to wait until the issues
were made up before launching tickets.
One other thing. Under arrangements as they are
now, tiie primary campaign, which begins in February
and ends late in April, comes right in the midst of
ihe long session of Congress—just at the time when
it is doing its hardest work. The long session begins
the first of December, and shortly afterward conies
the h Hday recess, it takes until February for Con
gi'ss to catch its stride. Tiie people of Alaska have
a right to the undiverted services of their represen
t ive in Congress in that important time. lie should
f v have to divide ills attention between ilie affair
of liis constituents at Washington and a primary elec
tion contest hack home. And tho representative, liim
rclf, ought not to be required to absent himself from
his constituents when they are discussing his record
in Washington, yet he would he neglecting the things
he is paid for doing if lie should leave the capital
during Murch ami April.
And, further, Delegate Sutherland, for instance,
will have just got started on his G8th Congressional
program when ho will be called upon to account to
his constituents fer his stewardship. That is not fair
fa him. If tho primary election were postponed!
until August the long session would be over and bis!
record for tho session complete before the accounting!
time.
SELF EVIDENT TRUTH.
When we quit a Ski ng Hie Government
to it re. much, it won't cost so much. This
sounds like a self-evident truth. —(St. Louis
Glebe Democrat.)
It is a truth, however, that people .seem to over
hok. That Is one of tne lessons that should he
learned by the American people. We are Retting too
much government in this country and with It, of
ct.urBC, too much taxes. Tile way to cut taxes is to
htgin with n pruning knife on governmental ac
tivities.
PAY TKIKUTE TO ROURIvE COCKRAN.
It bus been a long time since the death of an
American statesman caused greater shock or brought
forth more comment and expressions of sorrow than I
did tlie death of Bottrko Gockran, New York's great j
Congressman and orator. The unexpectedness of the!
end which followed his 63th birthday dinner at his
home at which Nicholas Longworth and his wife,
the latter the daughter of Roosevelt, and other dis
tirvguirhed p pie were guests added to tlio dramatic
feature: of the ending of a career that has attracted
National attention for two score years.
Uncle Jot Cannon described him as the most
“graceful and fcrceful rpeukt r who has come to Con
gress in many years."
Frank W. Mondell, the Republican Iloor leader
cl the House, raid hit death meant the passing of
the “greatest orator of his time.''
Representative Garrett, Democratic leader, said
“Mr. Ccckran had been not only a nationally known'
character but an internationally known character for f
thirty years; lie wa.i one of the fore|post orators of ^
all tho centuries."
Judge Martin T. VI an ton of Hie t'niled States
District Court at Now York said “Cockran was one
of the ablest men America has. produced." After
pi airing his otaiory. lie raid, “his charity knew no:
limit."
’Botirke Ccckran was the foremost orator of our
time, declared Judge Talley of the Court of General;
Seesicns. Judge Talley and Cockran never appeared!
at better advantage than in a lecture on Lincoln
at the Catholic Club in New York two weeks before!
he died.
And bo it went up and down the line.
The New York Cost, one of the leaders in a cen
tury of opposition to Tammany, paid high tribute to
his character and ability. It declared that “he
ros-rryerd a remarkably engaging and attractive per
sonality" and a "quality of brilliance that made him
a figure unique in a long hisiory.” The Post adds; i
it wan during this 19 20 convention I at
San Francieco] that Cockran rose to perhaps
1 the greatest heights of oratory he ever
i
achieved. Placing In nomination for Presi
dent the name of his old friend and “New
York's favorite son,” Alfred E. Smith, Cock
run roused the delegates to a demonstration
that swept the convention with wave after
wave of enthusiastic cheers.
“Battling Bob and Roaring Reed" make
a great team in the Senate. For noise.—
(Boston Transcript.)
Why not complete the team? Bellowing Borah.
High-Power Hiram, Tooting Tom Heflin, Captious
Capper, Fire-Alarm Frazier, Rabbling Brookhart, Siz
zling Shipstead, and others are promising material foi
positions.
William J. Bryan is telling his audiences who go
to hear his latest lecture that wealth 13 a disease.
The death 'rate lias not yot been determined, but
there is no indication that people are getting panicky
over the matter.
It is said 10,754 autos were stolen in New York
State last year valued aL $12,000,000, compared with
9,995 ni 1921 and 7,005 in 1920. Theft3 In New
York City were 7,101.
Twisting the Lion’s Tail.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
It is an amusement of certain Americans to twi3t
the tail of the British Hon. Much of it was in
dulged in by a minority element in Congress during
the debate on Hie debt adjustment bill. Tiie export
trade is not without its tail-twisting pastime, nlFo.
Fortunately, it is pretty well understood abroad to he
a fad of a very small minority here, it really does
not hurt the lion and it is not given much serious
consideration in the actual diplomacy of the two
countries.
Yet il cannot bo amiss to direct attention to
some of Hie inconsistency and injustice of this bait
ing of the lion. Take the debt matter, for instance.
The adjustment is open to harsh criticism of what
England did in the negotiations. It is recognized
by leading financiers, economists and real statesmen
that no fairer adjustment could have been made, and
that tiio whole conduct of the British representa
tives was open, lair and reasonable. In view of the
return of that country to her pre-war financial status,
with the pound now within a few points of its gold
ratio, it is not unreasonable to believe that within a
few years she will be able to borrow at less than
the lowest rate to lie charged for a portion of the
loan, ami refund the whole debt at home.
As to the alleged British rubber monopoly, which
is said to he quezzing the American manufacturer,
it is quiM as much Dutch 11s it is British. BCS..P ■
Hie commanding American rubber manufacturers have
rubber pantationa of their own. Therefore, the few
Americans who may suffer from any foreign control
;>f rubber are not more numerous than the Bitish
and Dutch manufacturers who have been forced to
pay 3t) coins for cotton by reason of Government aid
given our planters. And is not t'ho farm bloc trying
to fasten $2 wheat 11 pon the world?
AVe might as well be candid albout it. If by Gov
ernment aid in controlling markets we propose to
make all foreign buyers pay more for our cotton,
grain and other products than they have to pay in
other markets, we .should not complain of retaliation.
Would it not be infinitely better to practice and en
courage reciprocity in all relations with the great
overseas nations than to stimulate bitter rivalry and
resentment? After the life and death struggle in
which we fought side by tide with Great Britain
against a militarism that would have paralyzed the
Uberttes of both nations —a struggle which it is by
no means certain the two great Anglo-Saxon nations
may not have to resume some day—it is meet that
everything should bo done to strengthen ‘‘the tie
that binds,” and that there should be avoided every
thing that tends to weaken it. This can be done
without any sacrifice of patriotism toward Hie United
States.
Many Hear of Oregon.
(Exchange.)
Oregon still is getting a great dial of publicity
as a result of the passage of the compulsory public
school attendance law last November. The publicity,
however, is not of groat value from the advertising
standpoint.
Oregonians had opportunity to know what the
educational world in general thinks of the law when
Dr. Llvington Fat-rand, President of Cornell Univer
sity. Who visited in the city last week, declared that
"A measure so un-American as your so-called com
pulsory education law cannot hope to exist_It Is
iuqnutous. Wo have no fear of such an act being
perpetrated on the people of our elate (New York)
for it is clearly unconstitutional.”
An eastern paper, discussing the proposal in the
Oregon Legislature to prohibit the marriage of per
son3 w'ho showed "a mental n^e” of less than 10
years, advises unmarried persons in Oregon to hurry
up the weddings because the passage of the school law
shows that a large part of the population of this
State will bo unable to qualify should the proposal
become a law.
Edward J, McDermott, former Eieutenant-Gover
nor of Kentucky, told the Catholic Club of New
York the other day that tho Oregon law raises the
most important issue ill American life since negro
slavery was abolished for it brings up the whole
question of religious liberty and the right of a par
ent to direct the religious education of his child.
Wilbur Olin Vail v a, head of Zion City, recently
testified that lie now has property and assets to the
value of $7,000,000. Wilbur insists that tho earth
is flat, but no one is going to accuse him of having
that kind of a head.— (Cincinnati Enquirer.)
It Is impossible to resign from Parliament, hut
if any mnnuber d relies to retire to private life all
that he need do is to get Donar Eaw to appoint
him minister of something or other, and to stand for
re-election.—(New York Evening Post.)
William Jennings Hryan tells a listening world
that wealth is a disease. Well, William had a cure
for it, twenty-seven years ago, but the patient
wouldn't swallow It.—(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Draft Dodger Hergdoll's estate bus been appraised
;t $208,8011. But Hergdolt himself, at the highest
timate. Isn't worth ltd cents.— (Springfield Union.)
Pittsburghers are said to have bought more than
120,000 of counterfeit money recently, yet one might i
xpeci. residents of that city to know something]
vbout iron men. (New York Herald.)
Canada, we are told, Is having severe winder
.veather, Ycr. but Canada has other thing, too, as
cmpensatlons. —(Philadelphia Roeord.)
Probably a good many of tho House members
vould bo quite as well satisfied to investigate the
•m. bossy liquors themselves.—-(Detroit Free Presp.)
There are political experts who declare that the
lew Ejbor Party won’t work. — (Now York Post.)
“There are no pickpockets in Russia.” Probably
iq pockets.—(Toledo Blade.)

We always 'have doubted the state

The 'fashion folks tell us in the

we don’t thing those two styles
would work together, either.
The contented man is one who can
be happy without the things he can't
get. Wo don't think he has been
born yet.
It would save a good many dl- ,
Forces if fellows would pick wives
tile way they do automobiles. A fel
low buying a car wants to know how [
far ho can 'travel with 'it, ho wants
one that looks well, and wants to
know how it wiU licthave under all
circumstances and how much it will
resit to keep it going. Imagine know
ing a'.l those things about a girl be
fore you married her!!!

waist line goes if only it will j'

A Mt of the folks who are singing ;
"I want to Ibe an nngefl" aren't doing
very much training for the job.
Nothing will convince you of the
truth of the old saying “From noth
ing nothing come” quite as much as
listening to tho arguments of a
dunvbbell.
It is all right for the women t>
desire to keep youthful, but darn
If we can roe why some of them want
to be crysbabkM all their lives.
The reason it is so hard for a man
to teach his wife how to drive a
car is 'because sihe learned so much
while driving from the back seat.
We gin ns the reason why our

Is because we didn't have to fool
