SOUTH CAN BE DRY IF SHE WIbHES’ The Clipsheet of the Methodist Board of Tem- perance, Prohibition and Public Morals thinks a majority of the best citizens still believe that Pro-| hibition is the best method of handling the liquurl problem. It warns President-Elect Roosevelt v.hal’ the South which has contributed great leadership | and such large numbers to the Democratic Party is| still dry and for Prohibition. | Well, there is nothing in the existing smmtmn" or the situation that is about to present itself to prevent any State—South or North, West or Fasl.—; to be as dry as it wishes to be and in the way it| wants. The repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment | and the modification or repeal of the Volstead Act|ina¢ the great organization which today recognizes| would not compel a State to be wet. They Would‘ prevent one or more States from dictating to other States, but not interfere with a State right. While | the South has a right to be dry she has no right| to dictate to the populous States of the East and Middle West and Pacific Coast. At least that !5\ what the people decided on the 8th of November. However, the South is showing many signs orl not being as dry as Dr. Wilson thinks she is. At least she no longer wishes to dictate to the rest | of the Nation. WALD’S ESTATE MUCH SMALL- ER THAN EXPECTED. ROS | | i | The great estate of Julius Rosenwald, merchant philanthropist,” sedond ‘only to that of the Ilate Marshall Field in Illinois probate history, was cut down to $31,202320 by charitable gifts that were charged against it. Among the deductions was $5825,000 that was set aside by Mr. Rosenwald to taks care of the losses of Sears, Roebuck and Com- pany employees in the stock market crash in 1929. The deductions for charity in the aggregate amount- ed to $16,820,127.69. These were represented by’ personal authorizations given a New York bank m) protect charities and those concerned and charged to him. One time the writer met a group of Chicago business men on a New York Central train just| after leaving New York City. In the course of con-| versation that was a part of the reaction following . the departure from the more or less cold East for Western homes the name of Julius Rosenwald was| mentioned. The writer remarked that he had been a guest with the Chicago merchant at a dinner a few days before in Washington. Without exception the Chicagoans replied, “then you met the biggest man in Chicago.” They said that he had been giving away from three-and-a-half to five million dollars a year for many years. Rosenwald was very wealthy but he would have been among the richest of all time if it “had not been for his widespread charities. The fact that the Rosenwald estate was charged with $16,000,000 of uncompleted gifts at the time of his death shows that he died as he lived—think- ing of others. b That is why this great man, instead of leaving an estate, as people supposed he would, of two or three hundred millions, died leaving only—a paltry thirty-one or -two millions! carrier in Juneau and Douglas for $1.25 |led Mr. affair.

A German Cruiser in the North River. (New York Herald Tribune.) With the arrival of the German light cruiser Karlsruhe, the people of New York may see the uniform of the German Navy upon their streets for the first time since the World War. It is an event not without its significance, and not with- out its memories. The Karlsruhe, also a light cruiser, vanished in November, 1914, with all her crew, the victim of an internal explosion, while she was on her way to raid Allied shipping in the Caribbean. The last time a German naval 2nsign floated in American waters was two years later, at the end of 1916, when the U-53 suddenly appeared in the middle of Newport Harbor, delivered her mail pounches, and went out to sink shipping and become an international incident off Nantucket Lightship. Six months later we were at war with imperial Germany, primarily as a result of the exploits of her submarine sailors. Captain Wassner, manding the present Karlsruhe, happened to be one Well, it is all over now; the immediate intricacies of international law involved have been returned i the historians, and, whatever the final verdict upon the U-boat campaign and its violation of American right, the extraordinary heroism of the seamen who fought it under orders in their cramped and stuffy submarines is recognized now by naval sailors everywhere. Why Germany wants a navy |again after the disastrous consequences of her last experiment. with one may seem a trifle of a mys- 'tery; but, at any rate, fourteen years later one is glad to welcome the Karlsruhe and her crew, in the silent hope that from the many militaiy follies of the past something may have been learned and some advance toward peace and law- fulness achieved by the world and its peoples. Abas the Donkey! (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Now comes no less a personage than Josephus Daniels, prominent Demotratic leader and conspicu- ous in the high councils of his party, demanding Franklin Delano Roosevelt as its politically anointed {leader shall no more forever be symbolized by the | |patient and lowly donkey. There are reasons for this patriotic demand: The donkey cannot sing, and, no matter what Job and Aesop and others may have said of the useful |beast in other days, the donk is not a fit emblem to bray at the head of a Democratic ticket. Han- nibal rode an elephant, and that is not so bad, but the one-time Secretary of the Navy, who rode into office behind the long ears, feels his gorge rise whenever he thinks about it. Richard the Lion-hearted rode a war horse worthy of the fame of his master, while his Sara- cenic princely enemy rode a stallion of purest East- esrn breed. Think of either of those imperial gentlemen mounted on a mule! With the poet, Mr. Daniels beholds the cock, the rooster—militant and 'saSsy—as a rampant, proud and altogether worthy symbol for a game organization. He can hear, in his inner soul, the “cock’s shrill clarion” as contrasted with the brassy discordance which emanates from a jackass in search of oats. Mr. Daniels wants to march under something that looks like victory. He is not so particular about “a chicken in every pot” as he is about having a riotous and courageous masculine member of the tribe as the symbol of his party. He says that everybody knows that an ass is a plumes on an old-fashioned hearse. Nevertheless, Mr. Daniels will have to admit that in the recent campaign the despised donk Daniels's party to its greatest recorded leaving the elephant and the eagle deep in the morasses of at least temporary political oblivion. And what better could any high-toned fowl or feral critter have done, with or without ears? So let us bray! victory, waterways project.

Yet they have had their first quarrel, because Santa en- g d an expensive apartment and furnished it with the things che and Dicky had used withcut telling Clive. Clive’s celf respect will not permit him (c allow Santa to pay for these luxurice—but his love for her makes him agree.

She flung v dollars where he would have cents. Since she was her own money, he had nse to curb her. Tllogically, despite her independ- ence, her pretense was that she was utterly his possession. Never more so than when she paraded before him, courting his approval of the latest addition to her ward- rcbe. Omce he attempted a mild protest. “It’s stunning. But there aren't enough days in the year to wear the frocks you already own.” I'm gathering my trousseau,” she pulled a facet at him. “So that's the idea! But aren’t |you setting the pace a trifle fast? |What T mean is—" “I'm your slave and you're my sultan. I don't buy them to please myself. I dress for you only.’ At the end of the first month when he inquired what he owned she replied. “Wh¥tever you choose” “But won't you show me the accounts?” “They aren't made up. You earn how much? About four hundred a month. Give me half of it.” That two hundred wasn't his share he was certain. When he wrote out his check for three hun- dred she tore it up. The second time she accepted it but omitted to cash it. He iook her to task. She placed him under a crushing obligation. “As your husband I'm legally responsible for your debts. What 2 goat I'd look in a bankruptcy- court if I couldn't state—" She burst out laughing. It was during these first wecks that he arrived home to find her reading a newspaper. The sight Wwas unusual; she rarely read any- thing. She was so intent on its contents that she didn't hear his approach. “Something interesting?” He perched on the arm of her chair. “Let’s squint at it.” The paragraph was marked. It contained the news that old Mr. Dak was dead and that his only son Richard, had fallen heir to his millions. “Dicky must have sent it,” Santa commented. “As you see, it's a Chicago paper.” Clive rose. “I'm off to doll myself up.” He glanced back from the doorway. ‘If he really did send it he had this nerve.” Would he never be rid of that fellow? While he tubbed and dur- ing dinner he brooded over the incident. When the maid had departed and lunacy was permissible, Santa leaned against his knees, squatted on the floor tailor-fashion. Stretching back, she coaxed him. |z | ./ ' What's troubling the old head?” | “If you'd been his wife when all this money blew in would you have divorced him?” “Tickle my throat,” she ordered. “Be natural” Then sensing his seriousness. “Who cares about money?” ‘That night she whispered. “When will you believe that I‘d rather starve with you in an attic than travel around the world in a yacht wtih Dicky?” But her protestations only as- sured him while he was alone with her. He noted, or thought he not- sd, that other people regarded their marriage as catch-as-catch-can — enyway as lacking in dignity. Slips of the tongue forced on his attention that he was no.more than her second husband. Though her entire happiness was ravenous- ly bound up with his, nothing could efface the impression. Friends visiting, recognized certain objects. “I gave you that. So glad you're still using ‘it.” y Clive didn't require to be hit on the head. He guessed the joyous occasion of the gift's bestowal. He became so sensitive he sus- pected that many of her Ilove- names were borrowings from her ¢ld vocabulary. “Did you ever call him that?” “Ridiculous old thing, do you ex- pect me to invent a new language for you?” More than once at dinner-par- she caused him discomfort by referring to places at which he was never present. “When we visited Havana—-" Even when she had provoked a titter she sailed on gaily with a bright glance at Clive. “That was before your time.” Tactless of her! No husband is pleased to hear his wife mention a honeymoon in which he was not included. “I wish you wouldn't Santa.” “But what's the harm. Every- one knows.” She failed utterly to comprehend his fastldiousness. “That’s as may be. But why yell it from the house-tops?” With repetition of the offense, she invented an explanation. “I was paying you a compliment. The few times T was happy with Dicky I fancy that I must have been with you.” ‘And that really seemed to be the case—that her memories of her husbands had blended. Her other husband! One never saw him. He pattered about like a disembodied spirit. As far as Clive was concerned, he felt that his marriage was hauntéd. The haunted marriage! Already he had acquired enough data to write a|— book on it. In his most peaceful moments he was continually blun- dering on footprints left by Dicky. | Meanwhile all her effort was to convinve him that her past was most remotely banished. She lav- ished gifts on him—stick pins, cufflinks; whatever suggested itself to her generosity. For his birthday the begged permission to give him a check suit—a black and white one. She chose the tailor. “You're so handsome. I long to see you in one that’'s made-to- measure.” Under pressure, he consented, to discover that Dicky Dak was one of the tailor's favored clients. “Mr. Dak is a rare one for the checks, sir. He's what we call a snappy dresser.” Before the suit ame home, Clive had taken an aversion to it. When it had been hung in his cupboard he never wore it. Santa accused him of not caring for it. “Frankly, I don’t.” “But it fits. What's the objec- tion?” “I'm not Dak. I purchase my clothes ready-made. Always have.” “As you choose.” Santa smiled. She was imperturably pleasant. [“The janitor’s about your size. Why not give it to him?” He didn't tell her, to hold up his end he was drawing on his savings. His out-of-pocket expens- es for theatre tickets, automobile- hire, general entertainment, had amounted to more than his con- tribution to housekeeping. Pride demanded that when she showered him with gifts he should return them with an equal gen- erosity. He was living on a plane which nothing. in his prospects warranted. To increase his ner- vousness he had a shrewd suspic- ion that he firm’s affairs were going none too prosperously. Three months after his scatter- brained return from Chicago, Mr. Cleasby called him into the office. “I've been watching you, Clive. You're all strung up.

I wish you'd run over and make a report on it.” Clive clinched with the offer. Away from familiar surroundings Santa might re-adjust herself. “When the affair in London is concluded and it shouldn't take long,” Mrs. Cleasby added, ‘“you can dash off to France, 'if that suits you, and snatch a brief hon- eymoon. You kind of slipped up on your honeymoon.” “We did, sir. I've sometimes thought.” Mr. Cleasby nnuhed his sen- tence. “That a honeymoon might have made all ‘the ' difference. You're right, my boy. Women expect ‘em. They don’t feel married with- out a honeymoon.” When that evening, Clive repeat- ed the theory, Santa confirmed it by plopping herself in his lap. “My sultan that wise old guy said a mouthful.” (Copyright, 1931-1932, Contingsby Dawson) A chance meeting in France, ' m’""- mlm change in Clive’s and ‘Santa’s future. —————— ® ART DISPLAY Complete line of Alaska art prints in greeting cards, and framed pic- tures, make your $eleétion and we wrap, pack and deliver to post- office.
