A “Curious Citizen' in a letter to The Empire asks for answers to the following: 1. Is it true that out of 21 Judges appointed in New York State by Smith that 21 were Roman Catholics? 2. Is it true that Gov. Smith never carried more than four counties in the State of New York in a Guberatorial election? Gov. s it true that nated $70,000 to Gov fund for the benefits he would receive in the form of contracts for road build- ing in New York State? 4. Is Gov. Smith Public School System? 5 Is it true that a Catholic institution? Smith nominated for 6. Was Gov. President on the first ballot at Houston? Mr, Kenny do- Smith’'s campaign opposed to the Tammany Hall is 1. It is not true. Gov point Judges to fill vacancies occur until the next election only a few such Judges, and he has named Demo- crats and Republicar Protestants, Jews. Every Judge that he has appointed to fill a vacancy has been elected by the people at the following election, with the endorsement of both the Democratic and Republican Parties Gov Smith has not appointed nearly Judges. 2. Gov. last race for opponent in 3. The ate hearing disclosed that W. F. Kenny, contractor, had not had, or been interested in, a State contract for road building or anything else during Gov. Smith’s incumbency. It dis- closed that he had not had a New York City contract of any kind for the dozen years that Gov. Smith has held County, City and State office, except three small contracts for the Fire Department, with which Gov. Smith had nothing to do, and on which Mr. Kenny testified, under oath, that he had lost money. Mr. Kenny testi- field that he did not do public contracting and that he pitied those who did do it in New York because the competition was so keen that there was no profit in it. His company builds founda- tions and buildings and does work for public service corporations, all privately owned. 4. In New York State Gov. Smith is regarded as one of the best friends the Public Schools have ever had. He has done more to increase teachers’ salaries, to increase the Public School building and equipping program and to promote their in- terest than any other man in the State. New York teachers probably without exception give him this credit. 6.

Gov. Smith ballot at Houston. was completed several Indigna, Oklahoma and change their to Jews Jews, was nominated on the first States, including Ohio, Mississippi, votes him. Judge Prendergast, of Missouri, declaring that he represented Senator Reed, moved Gov. Smith that the rules be suspended and be declared the nominee of the con- vention by acclamation. Senator Robinson, the chairman, refused to recognize any of these dele- gates until the roll of States could be called, de- claring that as soon as that was done he would recognize State delegations only for the purpose of changing the previously anounced vote. He recognized Ohio, first and then the other States named, all of which changed their votes. When the result of the first ballot was announced it gave Gov. Smith 849 2 votes—116 1-3 than the two-thirds necessary for a choice. The Smith supporters really wanted a second ballot, for if there had been one Gov. Smith would have got many more votes than he did. However, it was known for two or three days before Gov. Smith's nomination on the first ballot. Ohiv dciegation had declared for him more than a month before the convention convened. three or 24 of the 40 members of the gation were for Gov. of the delegation takeu by themselves.

One man said that he was prepared to move up and down the coast in a motor boat for the summer but when questioned he was not sure just how lead-silver ore differed from copper ore. He might be a total loss because it is possible that he will walk over stretches of paying ore and never know it Alaska has all the ores that are known so far. With the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes it would not be surprising that the Ter- ritory would produce precious stones. The Territory offers a short course in mih- eralogy and no prospector is so poor that he can’t well afford three months at the Alaska College where they have assembled the outstanding min- erals of the country and where they are pre- pared to instruct those who would get money out of the ground. Its not good ball play when men just go looking for the yellow metal when they might be walking over somecthing more valuable. “Kodak.” (New York Times.) » There is a word which one man has in his own lifetime put into the languages of all eiv- ilized peoples. In the New English Dictionary it appears both as a nmoun and as a verb. The dictionary explains that it is an “arbitrary word” invented for trade-mark purposes by “Mr. G. Bast- marn The thing which it defines is ‘“‘a .special type of portable photographic camera with a con- tinuous roll of flexible sensitized film wupon which successive photographic negatives are made, This arbitrary word, “kodak,” though still a trade-mark, has crept into literature as well as into everyday speech. It has come to designate not only the camera but the photo- graph which it takes. It means also ‘“‘to catch or describe quickly or vividly.” Mr. BEastman needs no other monument than is to be found in this word which his invention has put into the world’s speech. As there is no spot of earth known to man where the click of his instrument has not been heard, so there is no speech nor language where that name is not unknown. That gift to mankind was enough for one life. It is not, to be sure, like the Promethean gift of fire or the Cadmean gift of language, but it has ministered immeasurably to man's en- joyment and culture. It has given him sight of what lies beyond his vision or kept unotuched of time w he has seen. It has become one of the important instruments of education our generation employs in passing on its bequest. All in all it is one of the major gifts to the many in this magical machine age.
