ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PL IRELAND IS VOTING TODAY. The Irish Free state is having a general elec- tion today, and again the Cosgrave Government is on trial The election out of agreement that was entered into more than a month ago by the Labor Party, of which Thomas Johnson is leader, the Nationalists under the leadership of Capt. Redmond and the Fiana Fail or De Valera Party, under the which the latter was to furnish enough Johnson’s motion for lack of confidence Cosgrave Government, to ment of which Johnson An attempt to get the Parties to join the alliance bination counted a them. When the was taken that one Nationalist, John Jinks, to work with the De Valera crowd, had absented himself and the vote was a tie. The Speaker then cast the deciding vote for President and the movement collapsed like a cards. There was general rejoicing in Ireland and a feeling of relief when the taken, the alliance was an unnatural one. The agree- ment was that Mr. Johnson would ernment from the minority parties without recognizing the De Valera Party with a single Cabinet position. Mr. De Valera's participa- tion was solely to furnish the votes that would defeat President Cosgrave. In fact, Mr. Johnson promised that the Anglo-Irish agreement be maintained and that not a person that par- ticipated in the civil war against the treaty with England would be recognized in any way. The Johnson program was much more nearly in agreement with that of President Cosgrave than it was with that of Mr. De Valera. It was not 4 promising combination and pleased no part of the people. Immediately after the defeat of the lack confidence motion, President Cosgrave adjourned the Dail until October 11, when it ‘was believed that an election would be called. However, bye-elections were held in August 27 to fill vacancies in the Dail by the assassination of Vice-President Kevin O'Higgins and the death of Countess Markievicz, and the reaction of the people was disclosed sweeping majorities for the Government, whose candidates received 64,106 votes to 34,778 for the Fianna Fail candidates. The other parties had all but disappeared. President Cosgrave im- mediately called a general election for Septem- ber 15. President Cosgrave comfidently expects a sweeping victory in the election today. He re- celved a large majority of the votes in the elec- tion last spring, but the provision for minority representation gave the Government Party but little more than one-third of the members. It is further worthy of note that it was generally supposed at the election that the Labor and Na- tionalist Parties would act with the Government Party as the Farmer and Independent Parties did. In fact, during the campaign the Government, " Labor, Farmer, Nationalist and Independent Par- tles were linked together as the Constitutional- ~ists and the Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein were styled as the Republicans. ‘The break between the Labor and National- ist Parties and the Government occurred when President Cosgrave refused to entertain the sug- gestion of Mr. Johnson and Capt. Redmond for a w government. Mr. Cosgrave declared that { B® would not head such a administration and pro- to form a Cabinet wholly from the Gov- t Party. Then began negotiations with De Valera for votes to break President grows an terms of votes to pass the Govern- President Independent but the one it who in sustain a the and and was to be Farmer failed com without was majority of vote found refused Cosgrave house of vote was for form a of Dublin caused in HOOVER AND LOWDEN LEADING. .~ .

(Engineering and Mining Journal.) Following President Coolidge’s terse statement that he does not choose to be President for an- other term, other available candidates have re- |ceived mo little discussion in the press. In the front rank is Herbert Hoover, whom mining en- gineers still think of as belonging to their own fraternity, even though his work since the out- break of the war has been of a social and politi- cal rather than of an engineering nature. Bach ALONG LIFE’S DETOUR By SAM HILL e Observations of Oldest Inhabitant It is getting so every luxury now is considered a mnecessity. The Ananias Club “Hang it,” said the husband to his card-playing wife, “I wish you wouldn't waste time darning my socks—the darns hurt my feet and I'll buy new ones and you devotle all of your time to bridge after ! this,” | Appropriate Mabel: “Why do you call your boy friend, Detour?” Fthel: “He's so rough.” Passing Observation Divorce is the ladder couples use to climb out of the hole they got into when they fall in love. Lost and Found at Home “When wife has found She’s gained a pound,” said Kem- per, “I kmow it means She’s gonna lose her temper.” of the possible candidates will no doubt be dis- cussed at length during the coming year. Serib- in its September issue, is perhaps the first zine of general circulation to give a bios | graphical sketch of ome of the leading candidates, !since the President’s announcement. It is signifi- cant that Hoover should have been selected as |the subject, | That Hoover can do difficult jobs aceording ito the best engineering standards, and with per- 'haps more than the usual engineer’s regard for |diplomacy and tact, is unquestioned. He took @ Cabinet place that had little prestige and made lof it one of the most important and respected | Government departments Only recently he has done a work in the' floed districts of the South that few have any conception eof, and he has idone it without any subsequent sug ions of {graft incompetence. Even the press that is lantagonistic of the Administration had no qualms ]uhmn the ability of Hoover to do this job, nor it looking for any weak spots in the work that was done. Further, Hoover's work is not unap- precia he is held in high esteem by the Pre who places the greatest confidence in {his abilities and judgment, and who would nc {doubt feel that the Presidential duties could |safely devolve upon him Hoover's weakness lies in this lack of polit cal training and in not having the politicians | temperament, things in which Wilson was also weak, but in which Coolidge has been strong. He is a poor speaker and has not the personal mag netism that is supposed to command votes. And yet, Coolidge himself rather a cold person- |ality, and his immense popular vote in the last |election was based on confidence rather than lon personal popularity. On the basis of trust and respect for his achievements, Hoover should certainly go equally far If Hoover chooses to be President, and what | he has done in the past indicates that he has no particular aversion to the idea, his chief barrier | will be the Republican Convention of 1928. Poli- ticlans control the selection of a nominee, and with these Hoover is mome too popular. His few attempts to play the political game have not been s0 outstandingly successful as his social and busi- achievements. has ness America or Columbia? (Manchester Guardian.) It is ill work tinkering with a name that has history and tradition behind it, as Leningrad may remind us, and it is unlikely that the world will be persuaded to substitute “Columbia” for “America,” as some peopel are suggesting. Of course there is a real grievance at the bottom of the suggestion, and it is felt both by Latin- Americans and by Canadians. Many people, now- adays, when they say ‘“America” and ‘“Ameri- can” mean the United States, and it is natural that those who belong to the continent at least as much as anyone in the United States should resent the misuse. According to the “Observer,” someone has taken the opinions of the Consular Body in San Francisco, and all the members of it, except the Pervuian Consul, would approve of *“America” being changed to ‘“‘Columbia.” How would it ‘be, as an alternative, to say United States when we mean that and to keep “America” and “American” for their preper use as descriptive of the continent?
