The farmers of Ala they are, ought to have the opportunity money at the low rates provided under Act if farmers elsewhere have the right. Delegate Sulzer endeavered to have the ka when he represented Territory in Congress, but at that time gress was thinking a lot more about war ures than it was of Alaskan development, Mr. Sulzer found it impossible to get action extended to Al the matter. That was ten years ago war long since terminated, and Alaska have become more numerous and larger and demand for money for farm development greater now than ever before Dr. Clarence True Wilson declared at City that the only wa to take the churches out of politics this year is for both political parties “to nominate a dry who will carry the Prohibition plan.” He continued: g wet, we shall consider it our Christian are enough of us to do it.” The defect in Dr. Wilson's plan is does not speak for the laymen in the —and he does not by 3 the clergy. Bigger men in the Methodist pal Church than Dr. Wilson throughout the country. It was Dr. Wilson who a few years ago said there had heen too much talk in the States about the separation of church and State. However, when the membership of his becomes stirred up, Dr. Wilson is likely that he is authorized to speak only for who agree with him and not for the as a whole. HAYWOOD'S LO hl\ F\II‘E IS OVER. Big Bill Il:x,\“nml. one of the philosophers who thought the way to glory on earth those who wallowed in the mire of labor was 1 successfully over to kill off those who had pa the course, spent his last years in Soviet wishing that he was not an outlaw in 80 that he might return. Haywood jumped bail bonds in the United States and found his way ssed the soil and thanked God that he was in a free country. He remained there, because he dared not to Russ a, where he, upon landing, k to this country, and learned that after old U. 8. A. is the best Nation on earth for poor Well, whatever might have been his offense against his fellow men, he paid the penalty during his long and lonesome exile. He found . that the way of the transgressor is hard, and came to know through sad ience that the safest way to happiness is to play men to call ho the game according to the rules. There is no lml involves the question as to whether the going to be wet or dry. So far as those who fav remain as dry where the people do not like the Act.

(Enginecring and ning Journal.) With the increased complexity of modern lite land the competitive struggle that exists for supremacy if not for existence comes a tendency o avoid what is unnecessary and to simplify what "lis complicated. Many countries still operate under the handicap of an archaic system of weights and measures und will deubtles: to do so until the egincer and the scientists take continue A hand in national reform movements.

The simplified calendar has already mat with 3. ! wide acceptance, and the movement has disclosed, DR. WILSON ON CHURCH IN POLITICS. incidentally, that a large number of firms and tions have been using the 28-day month vea The advantages of the sub- stitute stem are legion; the disadvantages, ap- parently none. However much any change from tumed routine and age-long habit is unpopular ¥lin certain quarters, it should be recognized that the present calendar tem is provocative of complication, unnecessar labor and avoidable waste, inhibiting a proper control and encourag- ing a condition that is detrimental to efficient production, scientific comparison and account- ancy.

Y, Dempsey's Earnings. (New York World.) The myth of the fabulous sums received by a champion fighter received something of a jolt last week when Jack Dempsey brought his in- come-tax report into court as an exhibit in the suit brought against him by Jack Kearns. This report ows that Dempsey and Kearns in their banner r of 1923 took in between them $747,9 But this was subject to tremendous deductions. There was another little matter of $38,232 lost on bad loans and investments. There was another little matter of $2,310 lost in oper- ating hotel and apartment properties in Los An- geles. There were the expenses of the Gibbons fight, which ran to $108,417. There were the expenses of the Firpo fight, which ran to $87,- 024. These items and others like them reduced the gross to a net of $499,648, of which Demp- sey's share was $249, One is reminded of an article in Liberty some time ago which told of the actual earnings of Gertrude Ederle. At that time she had earned as a result of her Channel swim a gross of $64,- 000. But that too was subject to many dedue- tk)lw, as follows: D. F. Malone (one: -$10,666 Pop (one-sixth) . 10,666 Booking agent . - 5.400 Tank for vaudeville a(t N 6,000 Traveling expenses ... e 2,700 Pr agent, manager,s assistant mermaids, ete. ....... 8,775 $44,207 pleased with, It all' seems to boil down to the axiom fre- quently promulgated by J.
