As a first choice candidate the New York executive, who could not be seen by his party in 1924, had more than 650 votes. These with the delegations supporting him seccnd choice render it impossible for any opposition to make headway against him. Certainly Gov. Smith has fairly won the right be his party standard bearer. In its ranks there is no one who begins to approach hold the rank and file of Democrats as was evidenced by his sweep of the West and East and *his inroads in sections of the South where a most fight waged against his candidacy, If the Democrats S NOMINATION CONCEDED. opened in A B Presidential his oppon- as as to his on vicious was have a chance to overturn the 7,000,000 ma ty by which Coolidge car- ried the country in 1924, and many close students of political affairs concede them that chance, Gov. Smith is the only available candidate to take advantage of that opportunity. If he eannot ‘lead the party of Jefferson ckson, Cleveland and Wilson to victory this it is not in the cards for it to win at this time. The times seem ripe for a candidate of his caliber to go before the public and set forth the issues in terms that the average run of voter can understand and, understanding, vote intelligently on them, The tenor of the Houston despatches on the " eve of the convention to indicate Smith's nomination with about the same degree of case that attended that of Secretary Hoover at Kansas . City two weeks ago. The opposition to the latter - up to that time had been as determined as that ~ confronting Gov. Smith. But Republican Party wisely realized that to . Hoover was to go against the wishes of a sub- stantial majority of the party. The same situa- " tion prevails at Houston and the evidence seems thgt the Democratic leaders have decided to act a8 wisely as the oppositicn when it comes to se- lecting a nominee, It is to be hoped they will bandle the platform with the same lack of con- wention discord as at Kansas City. The fights oyer the several planks at the latter conclave were kept within the walls of the committee room. Let the Democrats do likewise. 1In this ‘manner factional fights likely tc be engendered by prolonged debates on the floor of the conven- tion will be kept down to a minimum if not entirely avoided. The Prohibition question should not stumbling block in the final draft of the plat- lorm. The nomination of Gov. Smith speaks for tself. His position on that subject well ‘known to make a restatement of it in the plat- m mecessary. He believes that the Eighteentn ‘Amendment i8 out of acccrd with the vital prin- Felples of the republic; that Prohibition is u sub- §eot upon which the beople of each individual have a right to .cxercise the controlling ; that even under the Amendment as it now each State should have the right to say it is or §s mot am intoxicating beverage; and finally, as long as the Prohibition laws re- i) ? :fi"‘“.t‘! pvresent status, they should i et seem block | be a is too fo t Second and Main | national | Today | recurrences | the leaders of the| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JUNE 26 be enforced in s of course, sound be approved by r as it Democratic the part; is possible."

Among the people who think that modern |young people are a wild lot, bound straight for | perdition, you cannot list the name of Miss Kuy- |kendall, Dean of Women at uthwestern Uni- | versity, Georgetcwn, Texas. Dean Kuykendall, addressing the biennial con- vention of the General Federation of Women Clubs at San Antonio recently, made a stirring defense of modern youth, even going far to stand up for youth's pet word, “Applesauce! That word, she believes, represents youth's re- |jection of the bunk that an earlier generation swallowed whole. “Our youth today is less credulous, less crude- ly suggestible, keener to detect insincerity and hokum than formerly,” she declared. “Their minds go straight to the things. Youth is too keen to be misled things that misled the older generations. The old hokum of spurious religion does not appeal to them. The old hokum of convention does not appeal to them-—though they are susceptible to much new hokum-—jazz music, petting, silly non- sense and rough laughter.” Undoubtedly, youth today is |fect.

War, and what came after it, were of our generation and the preceding ome. Is it any wonder if youth, surveying the mess into which the world fell in 1914, should decide that we are not so all-fired smart as we pretend? That the new, sophisticated young person is often disagreeable is undeniable. That this new young person, in pitching overboard many of our old raditions, has lost much that is valuable is equally undeniable. ‘Yet if, in the process, the young person is ‘“getting wise to the world,” the result will be an improvement. We of the older generation have allowed our- selves to be deceived by many things. If youth is going to avoid the pitfalls into which our blind, trusting sentimentalism led us, the world can take hope. We may prefer a less after all, it is our is disillusioning our The World the work The Cult of Beauty. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Otto H. Kahn, of New York, is a man of dis- tinguished culture. A man of large abilities in the conduct and transaction of business, he yet has found time to develop his aesthetic tastes and instincts, art and general culture which should warm the hearts of his fellow citizens who care for the finer things of existence. A few days ago Mr. Kahn reaffirmed faith in the aesthetic awakening of America. “In the life of the United States,” he said, “there has been historic development, the initial consolidation of forces, economic, political and psychological Power has been attained and wealth. And now comes the pursuit of the spir- itual and aesthetic.” Art cannot thrive in an environment of ignor- ance, poverty and dominant bigotry. Mr. Kahn pays his respects to certain formulas which have been much in vogue. He insists that the cult of beauty is sweeping the country, notwithstanding Babbitt wisecracks and other manifestations on the part of those whose stock in trade is the belittling of America. Said he: The sap runs strong in the tree of American art. It has overrun the trenches held against it by prejudice, incomprehension and indifference. It has passed beyond and holds an unassailable position. Cincinnati cuitured folk can well support the views of this eminent champion of American art. Cincinnati has had most conspicuous part in the 1(-nun| igement and development of a distinctively American art in music, architecture, literature, drama, painting and sculpture. With epigrammatic forcefulness Mr. Kahn con- cludes: “We have taken the sanction of the church from war and betowed it upon art.” The cult of beauty is sweeping the country, and the Queen Cit gress, retaining within her own gates such mar- vels of loveliness as have won for her a lasting fame throughout the earth wherever mortals wor- ship at the shrine of beauty. his If Janus, antiquity. ideal Cong dry, at the the celebrated two-faced chap of could come back he would make an sman——personally wet and officially me time.—(Milwaukee Jourpal.)
