WHITELAW REID WAS INTER- ESTED IN JUNEAU MINE. | Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who died the other day in| France, was not only the principal owner of the; New York Herald Tribune, the Mergenthaler Lino- type Company and other valuaiue properties in the, East, but she was a heavy owner of the Mills Estate and through it she was interested with F.| W. Bradley in the Treadwell, Bunker Hill and Sulli van, Alaska Juneau and other mining properties. The Mills Estate is also heavily interested in San Francisco real estate. | Before her marriage to Whitelaw Reid, who succeeded Horace Greeley as editor of the New York Tribune, she was Miss Elisabeth Mills, daughter of Darius Ogden Mills, one of the fouders of the Bank of California and its President for more than thirty years. Her father invested money in the purchase of stock in the New York Tribune and the Mer- genthaler company. Mrs. Reid was a remarkably talented woman with ' a broad interest in the active affairs of the world. | She was beautiful, cultured, and a charming hostess.

A committee of the American Federation of Labor has canvassed Congress and reported that only 17 Senators and 43 Representatives ‘n Congress, lare out and out Prohibitionists. And it adds that some of these are good patrons of bootleggers. It says 34 Senators and 144 Representatives are ready to vote to modify the Volstead Act so as to permit use of beer and wine. Thirty-nine other :nem- of the House agree that a majority of their constituents either purchase illicit liquor or :nake it in their homes, but they believe that there wouid be such a howl from the organized drys that it wight be well to wait a while before attempt- ing to make changes. Many Senators and Repre- sentatives believe there ought to be repeal or modification of Prohibition but frankly admit per- sonal political fear of the organized “church vote.” About two score of the Senators and Representa- tives in the South admit that Prohibition is a fail- ure but fear that its repeal might result in racial troubles In closing, the eport said: Even those who are opposed to the modi- fication of the Volstead Act privately admit that the inability of the Government to enforce the law, to control the bootleggers, { the gangsters and the racketeers, to prevent bootleggers from distributing vile liquors to high school boys and girls and to our col- leges has resulted in many of those churches which of late years have spent most of their time and effort in opposing the modification of the Volstead Act being today very slimly attended and dependent upon the gener- osity of a limited few for their mainte- nance and support. c the b The Atlanta Constitution suggests that the next Democratic National platform will not be made by those who voted for Mr. Hoover. It sees a dJiffer- ‘novement ‘w'he plot was discovered and the next thing will be o movement of the plotters out of Mexico. Of course a Mexican revolutionary Good-Bye, Mosquitoes. (Fairbanks News-Miner.) No more cheering news has been received for some time, we venture to say, than that steps are| to be taken to eradicate that pest of Interior To those who have fought off clouds of the in- sects in the woods and who have been prey to the mosquito’s stinging dart even in their homes the campaign may seem a hopeless one. But she never sought fame. She devoted her talents first to being the wife of her husband and | mother of her children and then to her extensive charities. She expressed her interest in business and politics through her husband and son. She did it so silently and unobstrusively that the world | knew nothing of it. She was to the public simply Mrs. Whitelaw Reid. After the death of her husband a score of years' But mosquitoes have been stamped out under worse conditions than will be encountered here. Once it was learned in tropical countries they were | the carriers of disease germs there was no let-up until they had been stamped out, at least in the cen- |ters of population. If that can be done, there is no reason why mosquitoes should be- tolerated here merely because they are not germ carriers.
