The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not Btherwise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein R LASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGE i THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAR. Patrick Jay Hurley, the new Secretary of War, was born in the Choctaw Nation, now Oklahoma, almost forty-seven years ago—January 3, 1883—the son of Plerce and Mary Kelly Hurley. He was graduated from Indian University (now Bacone Col- lege) with an A. B. degree and graduated in law from the National University, Washington, D. C. He also was a student in post graduate work at the George Washington University. He was National Counsel at Washington for the Choctaw Nation from 1912 to 1917, when he went to the World War with the title of Major. He later became a Lieu- tenant-Colonel. He participated in the Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offenses. Prior to the World War the new Secretary had served as a Captain in the Indian Territorial Vol- unteer Militia and in the Oklahoma National Guard. He was always interested in military mat- ters. ) Mr. Hurley is very wealthy. He is President of one bank at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a director of another. He owns large business buildings in that City and owns one large business block in ‘Washington. 1 He is regarded as a very \capable man with peculiar fitness for the position of Secretary of War. He has taken very little interest in politics but such as he has taken has been as a Republi- can. He belongs to several bar associations and many social clubs. The appointment will probably meet with general approval. Mr. Hurley had been First Assistant Secretary of War from the beginning of the Hoover Admin- istration, so his appointment is only a promotion. DRY EDITOR DISCOVERS THAT WE HAVE NOT PROHIBITION. William D. Welsh, the dry editor of the pro- Volsteadian Port Angeles News, who recently at- tended the Louisville meeting of the American Legion and later a conference of the officials of the Legion at Indianapolis, following a tour through- | out his State in the course of which he visited all its Legion Posts, has changed his mind about Prohibition and its enforcement. He intimates that he would like to see the country authorize the sale of beer and wine as a temperance measure. In editorial correspondence from Chicago, Mr. Welsh writes to his paper: Prohibition may be to blame for it; and again, prohibition may be taking the onus of a time in American history when the young would have taken to the cups under any system, wet or dry. Yet, no matter on whose doorstep the child is found, one visit to any of the great American cities will prove to the most ardent Saharan that so far as open-field running is concerned, prohibition is NOT prohibiting, worth a cent After describing experiences at night clubs and Welsh related the circumstances of a great football game in Soldier's Field, Chicago, where, he said, twenty-five per cent. of the 120,000 elsewhere, Mr. spectators openly drank liquor. He added: The Prohibitionist tells us there is not so much drinking as under the old pre-Vol- stead system. We have no way of know- ing. Certainly there is more open drinking. | HIGH SCHOOLS STUDY FOR | bl ; six months, in advauce, | | trenches. | STRY.
