ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION PLENTY OF WORK FOR GOV. SMITH. Despite the fact that he has retired from public office and has a big job on his hands in a private | capacity, New York is finding plenty of work for ex-Gov. Al' Smith to do these days. A few weeks ago he was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Theatre League to represent the public in that organization’s fight to curb abuses in ti speculation. This was hailed by New Yorkers an indication that at last something was about be accomplished in this reform which has been tried many, many times without accomplishing any real good. to authorizing Gov. Roosevelt to appoint a Special Water Power Commission to formulate a program for development and utilization of State water pow- ers. The suggestion now comes from several sources that Ex-Gov .Smith be appointed Chairman of the| Commission. It was pointed out in this connection that he had done as much if not more than any other individual in protecting the Empire State’s rights in waterpower resources and is an authority | on that subject. That he would make an excellent Chairman for the Commission is undoubtedly true. The character @f his service to the people of New York State was o high class during his long tenure of public office, that it is but natural for them to turn to him in matters of this sort. what way ‘Uorker. |-y reason ) fe, should not be required to suffer the loss of lis valuable services and sound advice just because he has retired to private life. And that is as it should be. The State, CLUBS ASKED TO HELP IN “BUYING” STUDY. WOMEN'S The modern housewife must choose what she needs for her home from hundreds of different retail articles. Her mother and grandmother found only a limited number of kinds and qualities of articles offered for sale, many things themselves at home they knew quality. The homemaker of today has little to guide her in respect to quality and is greatly in need of authoritative buying information. The Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Ameri- can Home Economics Association have been inter- ested in the possibility that specifications might be provided on the most commonly used houschold articles offered for sale. One necessary step in drawing up such specifications, or statements of facts concerning quality and performance, is to learn what information the homemaker lacks; what facts she wants, especially in the case of larger pur- chases. Discussion of points connected with the purchase of food, clothing, textiles, and equipment, by wom- | en’s clubs, would help in the formulation of speci- fications in several ways. First, as each topic comes up every homemaker can list the commodities under | that head which could be purchased more satis- factorily if they were labeled with quality or per- formance information. This will help indicate what articles should receive attention. Then each woman can give in detail the particular facts she wants to know about each article on her list. One woman wants to know how to choose a blanket. Is all-wool better than part-wool? How should table linen be judged? What is meant by weighted silk*and how can one tell it? How does it wear? There are dozens of other commodities on which questions immediately suggest themselves. Careful consideration of a few articles will be more helpful than casual attention to a larger field. The Bureau of Home Economics and the Ameri- can Home Economics Association will welcome lists of commodities suggested by women's clubs, along with a statement of the points needed on each as an aid in buying. Forms for recording this infor- mation will be supplied on request to the Wash- ington headquarters of either of these organizations. A series of definite programs for women's clubs on the subject of consumer purchasing has been outlined by Ruth O'Brien, of the Bureau of Home Economies. It also may be obtained by writing to the bureau in Washington, D. C. ANNOUNCING H At this writing the outcome of the Republican primary election in the First Division is still in doubt. One thing, however, has been demonstrated even on the face of the incomplete returns received by The Empire. That is that, whilc there has been some defection in the ranks of the crganized Indian vote, that ‘block is still strongly hcid by the CANDIDACY. QOmlm.nt Pauls. Therefore, any declaration by William L. Paul of his political aspirations for the future has a definite significance for Alaskans. In the past there have been those who believed that he was succeed Mr. Sutherland in Congress.

(New York World.) | James Hamilton Lewis, a member of the Senate from 1913 to 1919, will be Mrs. McCormick’s oppo- nent in the Illinois election next November. Mr. |Lewis has lost no time in choosing an issue for |his campaign. - Immediately after his victory in ,he Democratic primary he announced that he |would raise the Prohibition question, demand the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and carry the fight to Mrs. McCormick until she was forced \to declare her own position. What Mr. Lewis can do with the Prohibition issue in the campaign it is much too early to begin |guessing. He” will face, in Mrs. McCormick, a can- |didate who starts the campaign with three enor- mous advantages: office in a Republican State, the she is a good enough support of Big Bill |woman, running for an office to which no woman has ever been elected, and therefore armed with |a special appeal to the women voters of her state Against such a candidate Mr. Lewis faces odds | which may seem insuperable. But the very fact that |the odds seem so heavily against him makes his prompt choice of Prohibition as his issue even more |significant. For it shows that the time has come when the candidate of a minority party sees in Prohibition his best chance to carry a populous )umumml State if the majority party dares dodge the question. This is vastly different from the days not so long "\go when candidates for public office were trying| to damp down the question of Prohibition instea.l of helping to make it a burning issue. Times arc plainly changing. Robert Bridges. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) In every scholastic literary circle in the world,; ;th,‘ death of Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate of Eng- land, will be deplored and most truly mourned. England’s laureate was something of a man in-| deed. His poetry was never written for the popu-| lace, nor, notwithstanding his office, upon demand. He was not voluminous in his writings, but what he wrote held the immortal essence of true poetic genius. i Dr. Bridges was a man of extreme independence of character and temperament. He quite won the fancy of the American public through his succinct’ land graphic reply to the criticism of a part of the British public that he had not written enough to |justify his appointment as laureate. He is quoted as having said, “I don't give a damn for it.” He probably did not. What he did write was not transient exploitation of traditional royal virtue and‘ |achievement, but the something that he cared to Lwrue and expected to live because of its mhorent |worth. ‘ Not since the day of Chaucer had England seen | the like of her official singer of songs, but he! |was a true singer nevertheless. He won and held! |the ear of the world. Yeats long ago properly characterized him as the greatest among living poets, as he was if we may regard classic effort as; 'the major standard of poetic excellence. Dr. Bridges is one of the few real poets who did not write, too much. He leaves us wishing that he had writ-! |ten more. | At one time the English scholar-poet was an |exchange professor at the University of Michigan, | where he became more than usually popular, both | |because of his erudition and because of certain |idiosyneracies of dress and his very real indifference as to what people thought of his habits | Games for Brains. | (New York Times.) | After a visit to America Bernard Fay said that our outstanding trait is a passion for testing, meas- | |uring, comparing through competition | Itrue it should have been an American instead of a Rumanian professor pleading for the organiza- tion of “intellectual Olympic games.” In his re- cent lectures in Paris he suggested “meets” for the best brains of all countries, with specialists in| various lines chosen for the different events Though a detailed plan is not reported, it is nat, likely that the professor meant to have the noted mathematicians, astronomers or philosophers of the | world shut up in examination rooms and subjected | to tests all alike. American university students have {undergone that sort of comparison in intercollegiate intelligence meets, but men who have progressed high beyond organized studies into the fields of independent research have never submitted to such schoolboy stuff. The Olympic games result in championships that| are a source of gratification to the,country of the| winner. Intellectual rivalries cannot be settled so definitely. Anyhow, men of real intellect are not interested in competitions of wits, but in exchang- ing ideas and information. “It is most unlikely that the Americans will call the new planet Bacchus,” says a Cambridge astron- omer.
