The New York World-Telegram complains Presidznt Hoover has ceased to bhe the engineer and | scientist and expert the people believed him to be‘ that and has become a politician. “Tired of muddling through with politicians, the people chose Mr Hoover,” it says, “as their first expert in the White | House in the hope and belief that he would make their democracy intelligent. If he now has deserted his own experts fo: the people may well feel a sense of betrayal.” Perhaps, but, as a matter of fact, what else | could we expect? Mr. Hoover was an ecngineer, scientist and expert, but not of the science of xo\-i ernment, of leading people, of getting legislatiod | applicable to conditions. The people rejected, when they elected Mr. | Hoover, probably the greatest expert in the sc)enceJ of government and the most effective leader of | p2ople in political action the country has produced | in a half-century or more. The master engineer in government, the man who more nearly reduced government to a science, the greatest expert in lead- ing masses through the intracacies of self-govern- ment to definite action in our time was former Gov. Alfred E. Smith. More experts who have examined the record have arrived at this conclusion than have agreed on any other one thing in recent political history. People do not select an agriculturist to bmld; a ship. They do not try to make a political economist out of a chemist. They do not select a| baseball expert to manage a railroad. Why should | they expect perfection when they choose a mining | engineer to manage a ;\x“.l—umrn\.ng_finauon? A"i engineer or an astronomer or any other gxpert would | require special training to qualify him exactly as a| leader of millions of people and the director of their government. No matter who might be chosen for President he would have to do as it is charged President Hoover has done. He would have to take into account politics and politicians. They are tools that must be used in the building. Mr. Hoover is an expert in his line. So w Gov. Smith in his, but the latter's line was the science of govern- ment. Mr. Hoover's was not. He is now getting training in that line. It ought to be adimiited by his Democratic and Insurgent opposition that President Hoover is getting experience in the game of politics, domestic and in- ternational, that might help him, in the event of a second term, to avoid many things that have caused difficulties during his firss term. Many people have grown while in office. It took several years for Lincoln to develop into a statesman and master political leader. Few people have the apti- tude of Wilson for leadership without previous ex- perience. Cleveland, though he had had little political experience, was Governor of the great State of New York for two years before he became President. We have had experience in Alaska in that line. Everybody who has observed knows that Gov. Clark grew into a good executive before a change in the Administration cut short his tenure. REGRETABLE. ‘The purile excuse given by those explaining the refusal of United Confederate Veterans from par- ticipating in a scheduled celebration of the birth- day of Abraham Lincoln makes the refusal particu- larly humilating to Southerners. The refusal was unfortunate, the explanation inexcusable. We can understand how it might be'so difficult to assemble a sufficient number of the old men who fought in the war between the States in any one place to make the effort to do so impracticable. But to pretend that the refusal was due to disclosures derogatory to Lincoln is ridiculous. It is humiliating to the South to place it in any such position after the North had just responded so generously to the placement of the Jefferson Davis statue in the rotunda of the National Capitol. Of course the regret will be greater in the South than in any other section of the country WINNINGS OF RACE HORSES. According to the New . York World Almanac the press dispatch that said Sunbeau had become the greatest money earner ameng the world’s race horses was erroneous. The dispatch said Sunbeau’s winnings had reached a total of $330,044, beating Gallant Fox's record by $1,879. The World Almanac places the earnings of Ksar, the famous French horse of a few years ago, at $335,340. Ksar, Sunbeau, Gallant Fox and Zev are the cnly horses whose winnings have surpassed $300,- 000. Zev's winnings were $313,639. The greatest English stake earner was Isinglass, $291,275. Other American horses to win more than $200,- 000 have 'been Display, $256,376; Exterminator, $252,- 596; Man o' War, $249.465; Sarazen, $225,000; Blue Larkspur, $220,420; Crusader, $203.261, making nine in all. in advance, | however, the devious ways of )olmcmn&‘ - ! |in all these incidents “a tendency apparent in Wash- ’sc:emmc administration,” THE DAILY-ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1931 | Lemberg, $203,200, making $204,795; Flying Fox, seven.

Then here was the story of a similar fate that befell recommendations by Colonel Arthur Woods, of the Emergency Employment Commission. The highly experted Wickershame Commission has not been free from political tinkering, as shown by the modified report on Prohibition and the shelv- ing of the Stern-Pollak expert account of the Mcunry-Bl]ngs trials. Finally there came the open charge by Dr. Ray O. Hall, Commerce Department finance specialist, |that he was fired because he refused to doctor his report in the interest of poitical considsrations. Professor James Harvey Rogers, of Yale, sees, ington to hide expert findings behind a false front |of political expediency.” He wonders how long |men of science would offer their services to a gov- ernment that ignored or misused their reports. “We were led to believe that this would be a said Dr. Rogers. “In in- terpreting the data of experts it appears that olten\ officials have been guided by political considerauons rather than by scientific realism.” The criticism is serious. Tired of muddling | through with the politicians, the people chose Mr. | Hoover as their first expert in the White House in the hope and belief that he would make their democracy intelligent. If he now has deserted his own experts for the devious ways of the politicians the people may well feel a sense of betrayal. Col. 0. F. Ohlson Doing Good Work. (Fairbanks News-Miner.) Under the able managament of Colonel O. F. Ohlson the Alaska Railroad has a unusually large number of workers employed this summer on main- tenance and rehabilitation work, with a promiss of a full season of employment. The rehabilitation program outlined three years ago by General Manager Ohlson created more work for Alaska working men than ever before since the; days of construction. The order issued recently covering the age: limit in a sense protected the Alaska working men, | as a great number of elderly men came to tl’usl section of Alaska from the Outside seeking em- ployment. There is no question there are quite a few men over the age of 50 and 60 years rendering| capable service, Col. Ohlson stated to a represen- | tative of the News-Miner, and since the issuance of the order 114 Alaskans have been employed who are over the age of 50 years. The General Manager said he had great mpathy for elderly people and all who are physically fit have been given work when vacancies occurred. At the present time there are 1360 people now on maintenance Sad Fate of an Eskimo. (New York Times.) insane after witnessing his first movie will be no surprise to the authors of “Once in a Lifetime.” Nor will it particularly astonish P. G. Wodehouse, who told how he had drawn a large sum at Holly- wood weekly and had never been asked to do any work. The dispatch from Copenhagen, where the un- fortunate denizen of the Arctic Circle was taken after his seizure at the Faroes, did not give the name of the movie. That would be invaluable in- formation to the actors, the producer and the di- rector. To the press-agent it would afford a rare opportunity to fill the advertising columns with legends like this: “ ‘Hot Mammas,' The Film Which Drove an Eskimo Cr: The Tedium of Six-Month and Walruses Had No Effect on Him. First Sight of. Jeanne Jenneton and Huntington Rhubrash in ‘Hot Mammas’ Made Him Wild. See It Yourself and Discover Why.” Doubtless the Eskimo will get well and return to the Arctic regions to hunt and fish again and to guide expeditions over the wastes. Should he at any time in the future develop alarming signs of a recurrence, a simple test can be applied to determine his real condition. If he says that he wants to see another movie, then he has gone crazy again. One Prohibition expert believes that Canada is wetter than the United States, but must also con- cede that the American bootleggers are doing their best for the national prestige.—(Indianapolis News.)

Nor- ris is likely Franklin D. Roosevelt, in case of his nomination as he was aligned, with Governor Smith in 1928 Whether the electorate could be acutely aroused over the prob]ems of public utilities is problematical. It is a live issue only in spots. In the event that both old ‘par- |ties evade a stand on Prohibition and pussy-foot the issue, a revolt of the “drys” is fore-ordained and should they put a third ticket in suffer incalcubale losses. The south would break up in parts if not as a whole, while the cities| might turn one way or the other. Thus, the outcome would render uncertain the extreme. Dixie will interpose stubborn objection to a Democratic platform favoring re- peal, vent it; while the western states can be counted upon to oppose giving the slightest aid or comfort to the “wets” by the Republican convention. Viewed from any stand- point, the outlook for 1932 is thor- oughly disquieting and laden with trouble. e The party of Jefferson and Jack- son did not elect a President for Civil War. Then, Grover Cleve- land was victorious on the issues | of Civil Service Reform and a lower tariff. Four years later, went to defeat and the Republicans came back into power. With a re-| verse swing of the pendulum, Cleve-| land was given a re-election | 1892, but this time, finance dis- placed taxation as the issue. Yet, four years later, met another overthrow when Wil-| liam Jennings Bryan captured the convention on a Free Silver wave, only to be defeated by William Mc- kinley, a recognized bi-betalist. but who won by espousing the gold standard. .o For sixteen years the Republi- cans held sway under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and then the party went to pieces disastrously when Taft, who had won over- whelmingly in 1908, carried but two states of the Union, as a can- didate for re-election. An insurgent | led by Roosevelt, split party in twain and restored the Democracy to power. On the issue, ! “he kept us out of war,” Woodrow | Wilson was chosen for a second ed by California.
