The two States seen as going the desert road alone are South Carolina and Kansas. All of the others will ratify the resolution repealing the Eigh- teenth Amendment, the Digest asserts. In the 1932 Prohibition poll it conducted just before its Presi- dential straw vote, each went Dry by & narrow margin—South Carolina voting 50.05 per cent against repeal and Kansas 50.23 per cent. The Dry strategists must hold 13 States in 1ine,| and they place their hopes of winning that number out of 16 States. In addition to the States of South Carolina and Kansas they will center on Okla- homa, Towa, Georgia, Utah, Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Dakota, South Dakota, New| Hampshire, South Carolina, Alabama, Miss'\ssippi‘l and Florida. All of these voted Wet last year,| ranging from 51.6 per cent in Tennessee to 76.5 per| cent in North Dakota. Most of them showed better than 64 per cent. 1 The accuracy of Digest polls has been attacked |on many occasions yet it can point to. the fact that| |the winner indicated by its tabulations in 1924,/ »sal made in Senator Bragaw's resolution e the Governor to exp not. to exceed to s $3,500 in co-operating with the Federal Government in arranzing for an Alaska exhibit at the Century ! of Pr Exposition at Chicago w )ens next June dingly modest.

Properly displayed with compet- in charge it undoubtedly will attract thoust f visitors to the north in the near future.

That is the plan of the partment which will have charge of erect- building and preparing the exhibit. There aterial for the display. Absence of 1 resources has held the matter ance for several months. This defect the ature can remedy and it should do it with the least possible LEGAL BEER AND WINE. Congress has moved with commendable prompt- ness to give to the nation’s thirsty legal beer and wine, modifying the National Prohibition Act to exclude from its prohibitory provisions beer and wine whose alcoholic content doss not exceed 3.05 per cent. By early April, according to today’s Asso- ciated Press dispatches from Washington, the new beverages will be on sale. Brewers are confident the prescribed beer will be palatable and as satisfying to the Prohibition-weary public as was pre-Volstead brew. = Just how satis- factory wines of the Hght' alcoholic content will be remains to be seen. The 3.05 per cent limit is far below the average strength of wines in the good old days. Science can do wonders, however, and maybe it will be able to satisfy wine-drinkers with the lichter wines until the people wipe out the Eighteenth Amendment. Delegate Dimond has advised that the Legislature has the authority to legislate for the regulation of the manufacture and sale of the legal beverages, and to impose taxes upon them. Regulation will be largely by taxation. It is, of course, proper and i right that the industry pay its proportionate share of the costs of Territorial government. It should not be required to do more than that. Imposition of high taxes and stringent regulations to limit sales would be a mistake. To encourage those who do use, alcoholic beverages, regulation should be as liberal as possible. Taxes should be reasonable so that bootlegging will be unprofitable. And early action is desirable so that unrestricted sale and manufacture cannot be practiced at the very outset. ONLY TWO DRY STATES, That number and no more is regarded as Dry Literary Digest.

In this connection the magazine said recently: “it would seem that the Drys would be unable to get more than one or two States to vote against rati- fication of repeal.” That Congress can get action when it has real: rship from the nation’s Chief Executive has, been abundantly demonstrated since last week when§ the special session of the Seventy-third Congress | was convened. It has already enacted a beer bill| and the President's economy program over which/ the late but not lamented lame duck- session| wrangled over without result for several months. : Thomas J. Walsh. \ (New York Times.) Seldom is death more importunate than when, it came to Senator Walsh. Of private grief, of the! strong all-pervading sense of public loss, of the new career that was not to be begun, it wuold be use- less to speak. Regarded in its larger aspect, this seeming untimely end is no unfitting climax. He died a Senator. For twenty years he served in the Senate with unflagging labor and unblemishec honor. A little austere and apart, he had the dignity with no trace of the pomposity of his order. He was no hail-fellow-well-met, no popularity-seeker, no blower of his own trumpet. He had in a high de- gree that unflinching courage which has come to be 50 rare a trait among public men. In his early days as a lawyer he (lried many cases against a great corporation. He became a favorite of labor unions. As a Senator he dared to vote for the Esch-Cum- mins transportation bill in the teeth of all the railroad unions. Also, when associations of farmers were bulldozing the politicians into accepting the McNary-Haugen bill, Mr. Walsh voted no. One sentence from a speech of his in the debate on that measure contains an imperious truth, however often forgotten or despised at Washington: I think. the bill is unconstitutional be- cause it offends against a very plain, simple proposition—namely, that the public funds cannot be taken out of the public Treasury, funds contributed by all the taxpayers, and { turned over to a private individual or asso- ciation of private individuals for the pur- | pose of promoting their private business. | The patience of Senator Walsh in drudging through the obscure and complex details connected with the leasing of the naval oil reserves, his genius’ for finding clues through the maze, his illuminative' explanations and implacable logic, his perfection as a cross-examiner, gave him a sudden reputation. His imperturbability and fairness as Chairman of | two Democratic National Conventions are still fresh| in the mind; but he was a great Senator long before | his later prominence. President Wilson trusted and relied upon him during the war. In 1916 Wilson's campaign in the West was put in his hands. In the prolonged debate on the League of Nations he was one of its most thoughtful and best-equipped de- fenders. As this strong, athletic figure disappears, this Catholic Puritan, this statesmen who knew his busi- ness and was incapable of meanness or demagogy, this brave, resolute and independent man, v.he5 American people can be proud to have had such a public servant. The best eulogy of him would be to jmitate him. He was clearheaded, unselfish, calm, courageous. These are the qualities the United | States now most needs. | Representative Parks complains that the news- papers belittle Congress.
