Secretary edly looks forward Lo considerable I in efticiency and lowering of administrative.cost under this measure, The policy he outlines it proposes to trans from Washington to Al- aska most of the jurisdiction over local guestions. Under the system that has prevailed for years only two Federal bureaus operating in ska have had anything like a free hand. The | the Forest Service and the Alaska Road Comn slon. Virtually all of the others have to subm even the most petty subjects to Washington for action by officials who very probably have little knowledge of conditions and clrcumstances hnn’ and no more general knowledge of laws and regu- . lations than local agents of the same bureau {possess. All of this has made for delay and dissatisfaction. There has been some duplication of effort and often a lack of co-operation which has tended| to handicap efficient administration. This had _been a factor in retarding development of thel public resources. As Secretary Work has out-| lined the new policy affecting the three Executive| departments having the most to do with Alaskan resources, these evils will be eliminated. ity to deal with all matters not involving majer . questions of departmental policy will be vested in local agents, and all records pertaining to pub- _ lic lands and resources will be transferred to ' the Territory. Just how far the Washington authorities will go in this depends, of course, to a large extent on local representatives of the several depart- ments. If they can agree on the transfer of . work or pbrsonnel, Secretary Work intimates in " his report that there will be mo hitch in Wash- ‘ington so far as the Interior Department is con- “gerned.

Former Representative James J. Britt of INorth Carolina, now chief counsel for the Fed- " eral Prohibition Bureau, speaking unofficially, in an interview appearing under an Ashville, N. C.. dateline in the New York Times declared, | “Gov. Alfred E. Smith will undoubtedly be the ' Democratic standard beafer” in 1928, and that ‘Secretary Hoover is mow the strongest man the ~ Republicans have, but that the latter party had not picked its man. I am confident that Presi- dent Coolidge would not run if nominated,” he is quoted as saying, adding: “No man who knows him well could believe otherwise.” Speuking relative to Governor Smith and * chances, Mr. Britt said: He is not only immensely popular with a great section of his party, prob- ably a large majority of it, but he is also able and clean, and withal, is the most magnetic personality of this gen- eutlon since Theodore Rooseveit. He predicted defeat for the New York Gov- -ernor in the general election, however, on the g that the Democratic party would sptit ‘two lssues—Prohibition ~and religion, con- mg that *‘whatever follows, Governor Smith 1 be a towering and masterful figure.” EW YORK'S NEW METROPOLITAN A AREA. h £ his fhe creation of a new metropolitan district York along lines approved by the United Chamber of Commerce and the Federal _Bureau has been announced by the Mer- Auoellunn of that city, embracing all the ry* and population with a radius of approxi- 40 miles of the City Hall as compared old 10-mile radius.

Senator Borah sees this, He still believes in lthe policy of prohibition and the possibility of its enforcement, but demands that'a better show ing be made or that the policy be repudiatec by the removal of the Eighteenth Amendment from the Constitution and repeal of the Vol stead law. Driven into said, also, that being nullified, enforced or repealed; a corner, at last, the Senator if the Fifteenth Amendment ig as claimed, it, tco, should be that the same energy and power of national resource *for such purpose should be applied to the Fifteenth Amendment as to the Bighteenth. He failed to say this some months ago when speaking in a Southern city and demanding the enforcement of the Bighteenth Amendment. He sees now the handwriting on the wall. He knows that the Fifteenth Amendment has been nullified for many yea But ingenuously—though the matter is of per- tinent significance— Senator Carter Glass, of Vir- ginia, last week proclaimed that a State had the right to restrict and control a part of its electorate which was ‘‘simple, ignorant and unfitted to exercise the franchise,” no matter what the language of the Federal Constitution might be! “Take Two Chairs.” (New York Times.) Philadelphia dispatches state that Mr. Cool- idge is the only Chief Executive to have received from the Union League both its public service medal and its certificate of honorary member- ship. Presidents Lincoln and Johnson each got the medal, and Harrison, MeKinley, Roosevelt and Taft got the certificates, but both go into the Coolidge collection. There must be something nltnmcaul in this, What can it be? It is difficult to reach a con- clusion without knowing how the League dis- cussed' whether to give a President the medal, the certificate or both. What does a President have to do to come to the favorable attention of the Union League, and how did Grant,, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Harding fail it? Why did Lincoln get the medal only and Coolidge the entire bag of tricks? These are questions of vast importance. The Union League really ought to clear the thing up.
