GARNER AGAIN NATIONAL PROHIBITION. John Nanck Garner, who is to be the Speaker of the incoming Democratic National House of Represzntatives, opposed both the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments. He believed and believes, that both go beyond the proper sphere of the F:deral Government's business. He thinks the State is the proper authority to consider wet and dry or suffrage problems. In an interview given Artist-Writer 8. J. Woolf, appearing in the New York Times, Mr. Garner said: The great trouble today is that we have too many laws. I believe that primarily a government has but two functions—to pro- tect the lives and property rights of citizens. When it goes further than that it becomes a burden. A pretty good Democrat once said that God gave men life and liberty. No government should try to deprive men of either of these gifts . Moreover, in this country there is a grow- ing tendency toward a too strong cen- tralization of government. I opposed the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments and also the Twentieth, which is still voted on by the States. I opposed these things irrespective of whether I believed in them or not, because I think that the States should settle these matters for them- selves. Before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment women voted in a number of States; it was not necessary to pass it in order for them to have the vote in every State. The same thing is true about Pro- | The absence of moose along the railroad and | hibition and also about child labor. in familiar haunts adjacent to Seward serves to bear | e out the assertion that something has happened to the moose herd. WASHINGTON ISSUED FIRST NATIONAL eeninil L THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. Wide-Eyed Bankers. | The custom of the President of the United States issuing annually a Thanksgiving Proclamation can be traced back to the time when George Wash- ington was at the helm of the Nation's affairs. On November 26, (the same day on which Thanks- giving fell this year) 1789, President Washington proclaimed for the first time a National Day of ‘Thanksgiving, thereby setting a precedent for future Presidents. Celebration of Thanksgiving Day in America, we are informed by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, can be traced back to Bay Colony. From there the custom spread to all parts of the United States. Washington's first National Thanksgiving Pro- clamation met with some objections. When Elias Boudinot, on September 25, 1789, introduced a reso- Jution in the House of Representatives, “That a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States, to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States a day of public Thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging and grateful hearts, the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity to establish a Constitution of government for their safety and happiness,” it met with protest from some of the members. Representative Thomas Tudor Tucker, of South Carolina, argued that it was not the business of Congress to ask for a National day of Thanks- giving. Representative Aedanus Burke, of the same State, thought we should not mimic Europe “where they made a mere mockery of Thanksgiving.” The objections were soon over-ruled and a joint committee, made up of Senators Ralph Izard of South Carolina and Willlam 8. Johnson necticut, and Representatives Elias Boudinot New Jersey, Roger Sherman of Connecticut ,and Peter Sylvester of New York, waited on the Presi- dent with its request. President Washington complied and issued his proclamation on October 3, 1789, calling for a Na- tional Day of Thanksgiving on November 26, WOULDN'T IT BE FINE? Dry leaders insist that if the Democratic and Republictn parties should both go wet it would result in the organization of a Prohibition Party that would be stronger than either of the old parties. That might not be so bad either It would clear the field for a fusion of Democrats ana Republicans into a Liberal Party with Roosevelt and Dawes or Baker and Snell or Butler and Ritchie or Dawes and David Walsh, or some such combination. and certain victory and Prohibition de- feat would follow. A contest between Liberals and Prohibitionists would be a cont:st that would mean something. There would be none to say: “The two parties are as alike as two peas in a pod.” It might be that such a breakup would remove a lot of hooey from politics. There would likely be no more banal promises to banish poverty make prosperity a permanent condition in ye-. being | | | the earliest days of the Mnssa,chuselts' of Con-| of for four more years of party control Tm.,.elAC:nclnnnu Enquirer.) would be no flabby palaver about the “noble ex- periment.” My, what excitement there would be! What a different sore of campaign we would have! Formerly Scnators and Representatives in Con- gress had to be elected. Now many widows find they married into it. Ambassador and former Vice-President Dawes says he does not want the Vice-Presidency any more and he has a deep-seated yen for retirement. Prob- ably sincerely meant, but if the Republicans would ditch Prohibition and nominate “Old Hell and Maria” for President that 1932 Presidential fight would be one for historians to discuss for a cen- tury. Both the Democratic and Republican candidates for Speaker of the House of Representatives are against National Prohibition. It has got so that {the Anti-Saloon League’s O. K. is no longer re- | quired for one aspiring to high office. Moose Herds Threatened. | (Seward Gateway.) | Hunters and trappers, returning from the Kenal | Peninsula, report an almost total absence of moose {calves this season; also a marked scarcity of bull| moose. On the other hand, they report seeing many cows without calves. In one instance, a cow was| | observed followed by her calf, but apparently in a| | high state of nervousness. | | The inferences drawn are that some predatory | |animal is makinz heavy inroads upon the moose | calves, and that overhunting of bulls is having ui baleful effect upon breeding new stock. | In the absence of figures indicating the number {of bulls killed in a given period, one can bu(;fi | speculate on this feature of the situation. On the| other hand, the same authorities, with regard to scarcity of calves, recall that during the past season bears have deserted the streams and their | |wonted dist of salmon to seek food elsewhere. Reports also come in to the effect that there is a scarcity of berries, the natural food of the bear before hibernating time | The black bear is ordinarily an herbivorous animal and become carnivorous only under Sstress |of hunger, and then preferring putrid rather than | {fresh meat. The woodsmen are of the opinion that something has happened to throw nature out jof rythm and in the process, one of Alaska's most |attractive resources is suffering. The fact that ‘:cvera} young calves, evidently partly devoured by !predatory animals, with portions of the carcass | removed some distance from the site of the Kill,| leads to the belief that it is the work of larger |animals and not that of the small fur-bearing carnivora feeding upon carcasses where death has |been natural. | Not only has the condition respecting the bulls jon the Kenai Peninsula been the subject of much |speculation by big game guides and trappers, but| this apprehension has spread to the upper Cook Inlzt country, where last season, one trapper re- ported having encountered 25 cows before sighting a mature bull, and at a time when the animals arc jyarding up for the winter. The time is propitious for the Alaska Game | Commission to dispatch observers into the Kenai | Peninsula country to make a careful survey of the| |situation with a view to ascertaining the cause of the reported conditions. (New York Times.) The British Government continues to make re- payments on the big credit it raised in this country | shortly before England went off the gold standard, jand, we learn from a New York Times headline, |“Feat Surprises Bankers.” So many things surprise bankers nowadays! And syet it is only a couple of years since people were always being reminded never to make a step with- out consulting their bankers, presumably that bankers knew everything. |" Security prices are five times too high by the |test of earnings, and the bankers are surprised. Security prices come a cropper, and the bankers are surprised. France, on the edge of bankruptcy a few years ago, gets busy and collects two billion dollars in gold, and the bankers are the most surprised lot you ever saw. China goes from one civil war into another and her trade continues to go up, and the bankers are surprised. The British Tories go into the election expecting |a majority of 100 and come out with a majority of 500, and the bankers are surprised. In other words, the bankers are surprised by very much the same things that surprise aviators, garment workers, - physicians and surgeons, and interior decorators. The biggest surprise of all is yet to come for the bankers. Some day a man will walk into the bank and offer to take up his overdue note. Canada Acts. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Canada just has convicted eight Communist leaders for belonging to “an unlawful organization and for conspiring against the Government.” The men received five and two year sentences, to run concurrently, with the recommendation that the |men be deported at the end of their prison terms. The Canadian Royal Mounted Police will hence- forth be less than popular with Communist forces in Canada, for it has been the work of Sergeant John Leopold during the past seven years to find convineing evidence of Communist activity in the Dominion As there are several thousand other members of the organization named in Sergeant Leopold's lists it is possible that they may turn their eyes and pilgrim feet in the direction of this complacent United States, where an honest Communist may raise practically as much hades as he pleases, and, so far, without danger of serious consequences to himself or his cult. | We not only think that the practice of sub- sidizing young men to play football in colleg2 should be stopped but that the money thus saved should {be used to hire young men to study books in college. —(New York Times.) | After the wholesale and widespread defeat of special levies everywhere we suppose it is up to the officials to figure out some way of extracting the taxpayers' money without them being able to help themselves.—(Ohio State Journal.)

She is alleged to have said that she slashed the thoat of Robert Lockwood, prominent archi- tectural artist in his studio.

She said further she had been in- tending to kill Lockwood for three days.
