EXPEDIENT TO BE INACCURATE. Byron Price, Chief of the Washington, D. C, staff of the Associated Press, commenting on Presi- dent Hoover’s acceptance speech said: & On the score of Prohibition, he charged that the Democratic repeal proposal would bring back the saloon, attended by ruin, and asked the country to put its faith in a “sane solution.” That is a conservative method of restating what Mr. Hoover had to say about the Democratic repeal plank, which, as firmly as the President himself did, declared against the return of the old saloon evil. The chief objection to his liquor statement, as the Cincinnati Enquirer noted at the time of its deliv- ery “is its gross inaccuracy.” He charged that the Democrats purpose to de- stroy every vestige of effective Federal control over the traffic in liquor. If this is not misrepresenta- tion it is very near to it. The veriest tyro in gov- ernment knows that the power rests solely in Con- gress with or without the Eighteenth Amendment to regulate and control interstate commerce and that power gives to the Federal Government the authority and means of protecting Dry States from their Wet neighbors. The President, apparently sincere, declared: It is my belief that in order to remedy present evils a change is necessary by which we resummon a proper share of initiative and responsibility upon which the very es- sence of our government demands shall rest upon State and local authorities. If that doesn't mean to return to the several States the power to control the liquor traffic, it is without any meaning at all. Of course, he added the phrase: “That change must avoid the return of the saloon.” No leader of any political party has held otherwise. No State has been recorded as favoring the re-establishment of the saloon, not even those in which speakeasies have fully replaced the saloons of pre-Volstead days. Thus in attempting to portray to the country the Democratic Party as seeking to resurrect that institution the President has not confined himself to the facts nor reasonable deductions therefrom. Perhaps no more was to have been expected. In gangster parlance, Mr. Hoover was “on a hot spot.” The party platform, written at his dictation and adopted by the convention against its apparent desire, had failed to satisfy either the Wets or the Drys insofar as Prohibition was involved. The President sought to placate the Wets by admitting the evils under the erstwhile “noble experiment” are so grave that the system must be changed, and advocated turning the matter back to the individual States. To keep the Drys in line, he depicted the opposition as fostering the return of the saloon, although they merely proposed repealing the Eigh- teenth Amendment as the only means by which the power of regulation could be returned to the States. His logic failed to be convincing. his facts were awry. He found it expedient from a political standpoint to be inaccurate, and in this respect his own Prohibition platform is not far superior to that of his party. W. C. T. U. IN POLITICS TO STAY. Not only has the National W. C. T. U. become a political institution, but it, boasting of its political achievements, promises to continue in that field of activity. It purposes to control State and Na- tional Legislatures, and declares that it can do so. Quoting Mrs. Ella A. Boole, President of the W. C. T. U. National organization, the Seattle Times of recent date said: Six times last fall we stopped the beer bills in Congress, and we can do it again, Our fight will be in the State Legislatures. Part of our convention session will be taken up with discussion of practical means of controlling State and National Legislatures. Now let the W. C. T. U. join with the Anti- Saloon League and similar organizations and form a party of their own and all will be well. That will bring the fight into the open. There is no reason why the W. C. T, U. and allied societies should not become a political organization if the members desire it and so long as they do not mask their political activities. Let them go forth with flag flying and not try to bore from within or play party against party. ANOTHER LARGE SALMON PACK. The indications are that Alaska’s salmon pack this year will be large in spite of the reduced number of canneries that have been operated. The pack is likely to reach nearly the five-million-case mark. There will be a larger pack of red salmon than at any time in recent years. That will mean, among other things, that the Territorial revenues will be in far better shape than was feared. While The Empire has always contended that Commissioner of Fisheries O'Malley was more drastic Failed because | able this year to extend the season in' many sections of the Teritory, and it is admitted that the escape- ment to the spawning grounds has been large— larger, probably, in some instances than necessary. Yet there has been a large pack—one that will inure to the good of Alaska ¥ a reasonable price may be got for it. A Federal bulletin says the population is shift- ing. From Republican to Democrat or the other way? Increased stock buying will result in decreased hoarding of money. Some of the hoarded money is re-entering trade channels where it will work and increase employment. Confidence in Higher Places. (Boston News Bureau.) In the surge of confidence which has swept the market-places of late, spreading hope far and wide, {courageous dividend action by a few large corpora- ‘nions has played a leading part. A few short {weeks ago utmost caution was the rule; now, by implication, hope of revived earning power in the not too distant future is seen. A month ago directors of the American Can and |Allied Chemical and Dye set up a wave of optimism |by ordering regular dividend disbursements; now within a few days directors of General Motors, |Drug Ing, and U. S. Steel have maintained the \regular rate (on preferred in case of Steel) al- (though in each case dividends are not currently being earned. Powerful men sit on these directorates. Lists of “40 rulers of the country” have been made, and they were recruited from the banking and industrial glants who govern our big corporations like “Steel,” “Motors” and “Can.” Whether the rest of the country approves of its own course or not, it never- theless closely follows the leadership of the Eastern capitalists, and it is now deciding that if there's a glow in the East, dawn may be at hand. The farmer has been cheered by rapid rise in prices of his products, especially the humble hog, and now the banker and the manufacturer ars buoyed by ample evidence that credit conditions are stronger, and that all is not hopeless in Europe. Big corporations therefore sanction greater dividend liberality, and the influence will be large. There is no greater fallacy than that corporate surpluses lie fallow, for it is out of such accumulated funds that expansion is financed. At the same time it is clearly demonstrated that banks cannot fully employ the credit built out of funds now deposited with them, and the individual stock- holder is certain to give greater velocity to money he receives in dividends, than can the corporation through hoarding it in banks. The pendulum is moving very slowly at the end of its swing, and but little force will reverse its direction. After three years of decline, the defla- tionary movements shows signs of having largely worn itself out. The present outburst of con- fidence, if it proves not to be overdone, may be the lever that starts our indices on an upward trend. Guinea Pigs as Tipplers. (New York Times.) Some time before the war a group of guinea pigs at Cornell were subjected to an experiment in which they were daily dosed with alecohol to the point of ‘“visible intoxication.” The results were announced as a fall in the number of births and an increase in the proportion of weakly and de- fective offspring. Woeful effects upon the human race from indulgence in liquor were deduced. Now a similar test has been made in England. The guinea pigs, gathered in cages in a special {tank, received their alcohol by inhaling it. But in this second supervised drniking bout the little ani- mals showed that they “can carry their liquor with- out any visibly injurious results either upon them- selves or their offspring.” What is the explana- tion? Perhaps in the post-war years the guinea pigs have developed into a stronger breed. Or it may be—perish the thought—that English-bred ani- mals are stouter fellows than the American. The English experimenters themselves announce that “the behavior of an intoxicated person up- setting social life” has nothing to do with the case of the guinea pigs. The London Morning Post politely suggests that probably guinea pigs are no better or worse than others. “But neither in their nervous equipment nor in their social circumstances do they resemble mankind.” Even if the two series of experiments had not arrived at opposite con- clusions, they might have little bearing on ths human problem. @ Our Tie to Canada. (Olympia Olympian.) More than 13,000,000 motorists crossed the inter- national boundary into Canada during the vaca- tion season of 1931, according to figures just re- leased by the Department of Commerce; and whila vacationing in the Dominions these motorists, to- gether with 1,175,000 of their fellow countrymen who went to Canada by train or steamship, spent upwards of $188,000,000. ‘While this' was going on Canadian vacationists in the United States were spending $40,000,000 on their own trips. The figures represent only a com- paratively small decline from 1930, and it is believed that this year's travel will not be far behind. There could not be a better illustration of the close relationship between the two nations. It is hard for the ordinary citizen of the United States to look on Canada as a foreign country. Those 13,000,000 vacation tourists testify to an uncommon- ly intimate international bond. It looks as though we will have to wait for the millennium before an international conference can make war anything but what Sherman said it was. SYNOPS John Ander- son’s wife is dead, Sondra Kent learns suddenly from Stephen Cascidy. His marriage has kept Anderson from telling Sondra he loves her. Sondra finds herself regretting her secret marriage to Mark Merriman, now in the Conge. No longer living with her sister in luxury, she looks for work. CHAPTER 23. “THE USELESS ONES” Sondra left the hotel sooner than she had intended, and moved into rooms which she had hunt- ed out in a quiet street. After her chance encounter with Cass she was seized with a sense of panic. At all cests she must avoid meet- ing John Anderson. If Cass was right in what he had said she felt! that she could never face him. It would mean telling him about Mark, and ad- mitting that in a moment of ex- citement, she had made the great- est mistake of her life. And if Cass was wrong—well, it would be more painful to meet free and that he no longer want- ed her, So she slipped away without leaving an address, telling herself that the old life was over and done with, and that she must start afresh and try to find work. But anyone who is and unused to work knows what an almost impossible proposition it is, and at the end of three days Sondra realized bitterly that her marketable value was something in which only she herself had be- 1 i ‘ 'l“‘\ I “I don’t believe in love, lieved. Apparently nobody in the whole New York wanted her, or believed that she was of any use. Agen- cles took her fees and entered her mame in bulky ledgers, and agents stared at her clothes and shook their heads. The woman in whose house she had found rooms was a kindly sym- pathetic soul in spite of the fact that she declared she had no be- lief in anything. Sometimes when she brought Sondra’s meals she would stay and talk to her, always standing in the open doorway as if she had The Fas BY RUBY John again, knowing that he was| incapable | things are always |that someone comes |looks after them.” “I am one of the useless ones,” {Sondra thought with a pang. “I {wonder what will become of me?” She had began to be nervously afraid of going out for fear she should meet anyone who had known her in the old days, and Cass was almost the only soul |she ever met or spoke to. Sometimes she had tea with him in the corner tea rooms. She was quite frank with him, feeling that she could trust him. “I've disappeared so to speak for the moment,” she said. “I'm not so well-off as T used to be, so I'm lying low till I con look around and make plans. You won't give me away, will you?” “You won't tell me where you're {living?” Sondra smiled. ‘No, and I hope you won't try to find out,” she said with plead- ing eyes. Cass shook his head reproach- fully. “You know your own business best,” he said. “But it's a pity, |—it's a thousand pities.” Sondra 'had arranged to have any letters sent on through the bank, but she received surpris- ingly few. She wrote at length to Mark, telling him of the sudden upheav- al in her life and making a joke of it. “I am now that fashionable thing, a bachelor woman,” she wrote, “but don’t worry about me, I am very well able to lock after myself.” If he guessed the truth she knew he would either cable for her to 7 managed so0 along and rs. Sears sald calmly. join him, or throw up his job and come home on the next boat. And then—then what? Life on a small income, in some suburban town, with no hope of anything better. “I can't, 1 can't,” Sondra told| herself despairingly, and yet what else was there for her to look for- ward to? What would she do when her money had all gone? wondered where shie was. If they would have joined forces somewhere things would not have been so bad. Sondra knew that Flora really had great strength not a moment to spare, and yet delaying her departure sometimes for nearly half an hour. She had been married she told Sondra, and her husband had left her after two years. “I don't believe in men,” said calmly. “But you must have loved him she to have married him,” Sondra said. “I don*t believe in love,” Mrs. Sears replied. “What do you believe in?” Son- dra asked one day, half amused, half depressed by her pessimism. “I don't know that I believe in anything, except! that we all have to stand on our own feet and look after ourselves,” was she received. “It would have been a poor look-out for me if I hadn't been able to work and keep my- self.

The weather turned suddenly very hot, and $here seemed very ittle air in the narrow street. Sondra’s bedroom looked out on to a garage where men seemed to be eternally washing cars and cranking engines, even at night the place was brilliantly illuminat- ed, and vhe noise never ceased. “You're getting thin,” Mrs. Sears said critically one morning. “I was always thin,” Sondra said quickly. “And I suppose it's Mrs. Sears hesitated, then she said. “Well, it's not my business, and if you tell me so I shan't be offended, but why a young lady —(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

But she knew how strange it must seem. Even her clothes looked out of place and unhappy in the plain little wardrobe. “I suppose I look the same,” she thought. ‘Then one morning she woke with a sore throat and a splitting head- ache.
