The other contests are to be held in California in Aug- ust. “To stimulate interest in youthful training Governor Roosevelt has issued a proclamation nam- ing this week as “national boys’ week and Olympic week.” The Mayor has asked the schools especially to join in the observance.

Floridians seem determined to make Gen- eral Summerall run at the coming elec- tion, but so far they, have been about as successful at it as the Germans were in 1918. —(Miami, Fla., News.) Gen. Summerall is known in Alaska. Summerall he commanded a battery of field artillery, dong duty as infantrymen, at Skagway thirty years ago. Many of those who were at the Gate-| way City in 1902 remember him well. He was a very capable officer, and fine gentleman, but digni- fied and taciturn. He was not a glad hander. None who knew him as a young officer can imagine his permitting hiself to be dragged into the whirlpool of politics. As a matter of fact the only evidence, | as far as we know, that he is a Democrat is that he was born in Florida and was designated for ap- pointment to West Point by a Democratic Congress- Florida’s Capital Becoming Liberal.
