ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER | | HOOVER In the nomination of President Hoover and VlCl‘-; President Curtis for a second term, the Republican | convention ran true to the form forecast by \'xrlumllyl all experienced politicians and writers on current | political topics. In the case of Mr. Hoover, tradi-| tion demanded that his party give him a second | nomination if he desired it. The activity of his Cabinet members and political and personal friends | during the past year or more made it clear that| he wanted it. Under the circumstances, the Repub- | licans could not select another standard bearer | without repudiating openly the Hoover administra- | tion. to a schism in the party that would take years| to heal and do untold damage to the organization There was nothing for the convention to do, there- fore, but renominate Mr. Hoover, even though it had desired to do otherwise, which has not seemed to be the case. With Mr. Curtis it was different. A failure to renominate him would not have been construed as| a repudiation of Mr. Hoover and his policies. The | President, himself, expressed no preference in the choice of a runningmate. From the strong sentiment expressed for Gen. Charles G. Dawes and other | possible candidates it is evident that Mr. Curtis's own position was not strong. Except that Gen.| Dawes announced he would decline the nomination if it were tendered him, it is likely he would have been named as second man on the ticket for a second time. The Curtis nomination looks more like | a default proceeding rather than the expression of any overwhelming preference by the convention. However, it is a good ticket. President Hoover lately has gained markedly in the estimation of the country at large. If he has not made a great Chief Executive during his first term, he has expended | all of his energy and talents in the country’s| service. Beset with problems that were not on the horizon when he was elected, problems that multi- plied many times the work of his office during| such prosperous times as 1928, his has been and is| a trying task. His party probably chose wisely in | renominating him. And it did not injure his chances for re-election by putting Vice-President Curtis on the same ticket. LAUSANNE CONFERE CE IMPORTANT. The conference of European powers that is now progressing at Lausanne is fraught with significance not alone for those directly represented but for the whole world, and hardly less for the United States than for those directly concerned. The one-year moratorium on war debts and reparations comes to an end on July 1. It is the main objective of the Lausanne conference to extend or modify this mora- torium respecting German reparations payments. Germany has said it cannot pay more, and even France has acknowledged the futility of demanding further such payments. A more sensible reparations settlement ought now to be possible. There are other questions of vital import to the hopes for the world’s economic recovery. Many of them cannot be dealt with at a gathering limited to European powers. A further conference has been suggestion for London later this summer at which w (Clearance Sale T . the United States and other large non-European nations as well as Europe will be represented : success of the latter gathering, in fact probably its convocation, will depend upon the results of L assembly. If the latter achieves a meas- le degree of success in settlement of war debts and reparations payments, so that reparations can be divorced from American debt settlements, the United States can be expected to be represented in London. If the Lausanne delegates do not reach a satisfactory agreement, President Hoover has al- d this nation will not be intere in the proposed London parley.

Forthright Women. (New York World-Telegram.) Some of the most cogent, clean-cut, compact statemenss on current issues are coming from women voters. Take the following, for example, in a letter pub- lished by the Newark Star Eagle from Mrs. George H. Miles, President of the Women's State (N. J.) Republican Club and delegate-at-large to the Re- | publican National Convention, to Daniel E. Pomeroy, | National Committeeman: Were it not for twelve years of costly Pro- hibition, which not only has deprived the Government of revenue but has cost our people billions of dollars for ineffective and hypocritical enforcement, we would not be woried about balancing our national budget today There it all is in a nutshell—and a neat nut- shell, too. Moreover, Mrs. Miles flatly says she would not go to the convention and vote for President Hoover unless he pledged himself to repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment. It is encouraging and well worth noting, we think, and have said before, how clearly and forthrightly women are expressing themselves in this pre-con- vention campaign—particularly on the Prohibition issue. Many male voters, from long habit, meekly put up with the pussyfootings and wordy circumlocutions of their labelled party candidates. Not so the women. They demand a downright “Yes” or “No.” And that is a refreshing and tonic note in politics. The “big beer parade” in this country continues its daily march—from a half-million homes to a quarter of a million speakeasies. (Detroit Free Press.) Near beer is nearer beer than any beverage that will be provided by the present Congress, but the boys must be put on record. — (Washington Post.)

ALLIES FOR REVENGE Jerry stood at tne top of the marble steps and peered about for a tax , hoping vaguely that ont of the boys at the field would have come for him. He glanced at a long black- roadster standing at the curb, then stared at it mora closely. No, it couldn't be, he de- cided; Emory Battles was in Bos ton He crossed walked the n down TOW the * steps, sidewalk, and |bending low peered into the driv- er's seat. There, his face rest- ing the upon arms outstretched over great slanting wheel, was Em- ory, noisily asleep. Jerry's pulse leaped. He would rather have seen this lanky, carefree, reckless pal just at this moment than any oth- er man in the United States. He reached in and gave the sleeper a on the cheek. Battles strai a start of surprise. For a moment he blink- ed, bleary-eyed, at Jerry, then he smiled in a wide, contented grin. “Hello, kid!” he yawned, “Are you a free man?” His greeting was as casual as though it had been but a day since he had seen his closest pal, instead of nearly a year. Tall, rather thin, with high fore- head, straight nose and a scholar- ly mouth, one might have thought Emory a student taking a post- graduate course in philosophy Harvard instead of a 1 head-strong youth whose pass was adventure and whose bes; ting vice was wanderlust. As Jerry sank into the deen cushions, his friend slipped into the traffic and headed the throb- bing roadster toward New York. “How did you get here?” manded the battered pilot. thought you swore off New York for ever and had gone home to get into the good graces of your stiff-necked aunts, uncles and cou- sins?” “I have and did,” declared Em- ory, comfortably. “But when read about your little to-do out here in the country, I thought I might be missing a lot by staying de- GETTING ALONG The sure way to get to save some money ALL the time. necessary to make large deposits, as small and frequent additions to your account will make your bank balance grow amazingly fast.
