Telephone MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS. 1 Press is exclusively entitled to the f all news dispatches credited to in this paper and also the LARGER N THE DAY OF REVERENCE. Tomorrow the Nation reveren pays loving tribute to the one who is the scuice of all good inspirations, the symbol of love the ide of man- kind—Mother. There is no estate that man may occupy, no degree of greatness or depth of degrada- tion that he may reach but that the thought of mother does not touch the tenderest chord of all. It is she whom he would have know of his suc- ceses and from whom he would keep his failings and delinquencies. It is to her that man’s last thoughts turn, hoping that she may never know certain things but trusting in absolute assurance that her love and foregiveness is his no matter what he may or may not have done. She is the de of those sons and daughters that cherish her worth; the most loving friend cre- ated by the Supreme Being. Hers is the hand and influence and aid and sustain from voice which infancy to age. In life’s every aspect, she is seen. She is the portal of the body and soul. Her memory is sweeter than the perfumes of the flowers she loved or loves. Her arms have cradled the babes she bore under her bosom, and in her soul she has dreamed the dreams of hope and iridescence—has seen her bairns walking in the ways of distinction and happiness. Her prayers for them constitute Heaven's most touching melodies. Tears she has shed, tears of joy and tears of sorrow. As we remember them we remorsefully wonder how many of the latter we caused her to shed We remember her this day with a deep and abiding love which we feebly try to show if she is living; if she has passed into the great silence we recall her patience, her sacrifice and her love, regretful we were not more worthy of her during the days she abided with us. Blessed should be the mothers of the earth, living and dead. If humankind may win its way to celestial happiness it must be chiefly because we are children of mothers who love with a love that can know no limitations, no diminution through all the aeons of eternity, even as the Maker of Mankind's can know neither lapse nor limitation. REPEAL DRIVE UNABATED. Although temporarily overshadowed in current news djspatches by the drive for economic recovery so persistently and courageously pushed by the Ad- ministration as well as by the reappearance of the 32 per cent heer, the campaign for and against repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment continues without any sign of a let up. Up to date three States — Michigan, Wisconsin and Rhode Island— have voted on the question and all have voted over- whelmingly for repeal. Five other States are scheduled to vote before Memorial Day. Wyoming at precinct mass meetings on May 15 will elect delegates to county conven- tions for three daysand later these inturn will select delegates to the State convention on May 25. On May Nevada will select delegates to county conventions and the State convention will be held June 10. New Jersey votes on May 16, New York a week later and Delaware on May 27 Five States vote in June, Illinois, Indiana, Massa- chusetts, JTowa and West Virginia. n equal num- ber will hold elections in July, Alabara, Oklahoma, July 11, Arkansas a week later, Oregon on July 21, and Tenneseee on July 20. Washington State voters will express their views on August 20. So far this is the only Prohibition test set for that month. Five States have fixed elections for September, Vermont on September 5, Minnesota one week later, Maine on September 11, Maryland the following day and New Hampshire a week after that date. Three are listed for November, Nebraska on November 6, and Pennsylvania and South Carolina on the follow- ing day. Ohio’s election is fixed for December 5. It is probable that several other States will act before the end of the year. Arizona will vote on the issue when a special election is held to name a successor to Ex-Representative Lewis W. Douglas, now Director of the Budget. California probably will vote Jn July, the date to be fixed by Gov. Rolph. Colorado’s action is planned for this year, also. The Connecticut election probably will be held on June 17, and its convention ten days later. Florida is also expected to hold a special election this year to name delegates for a convention to be held before the year's end. In Idaho, the Governor was given the option of calling a special election this year or deferring it until the next general election on November 6, 1934. The Governor of Missouri is authorized to fix the election and convention dates this year. Montana authorized its Governor to name the gate of the election, either a special one this year or at the next general election, November 6, 1934, and the convention to be held three weeks after the =lection. New Hampshire will probably act in September. North Carolina will not vote until 1934 South 21, 1934, and its convention will be held January 17, 1935. Texas voters will give their decision in August. In Utah, the Governor has the alternative of call- ing a special election or deferring it until Novem- ber 6, 1934 In Georgia, Kansas and North Dakota, the State Legislatures failed to provide for either elections or conventions. In the first two, the Senates passed bills that were lost in the Houses. And in the third, the lower House acted but the Senate declined to do so. In four States, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi and Virginia, the Legislature does not meet this year. Speaking for the repeal forces, Jewett Shouse, President of the Association Against the Prohibi- tion Amendment, asserted recently: “We do not con- cede the loss of a single one of these States.” Strate- gists of both sides are concentrating their strongest efforts in several States whers the outcome is re- garded as possibly close. Indiana will be the scene the first real test of strength. This is regarded the Drys as the first “decisive fight,” and F. of by Scott McBride, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, predicted: “If Indiana rejects the repeal proposal, the Eighteenth Amendment will remain in the Constitution.” He also predicted that “de- cisive” battles will be waged in Towa, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee, all States in which ‘the Prohobitionists wers strongly entrenched for many years. Oregon is also claimed as a doubtful battle- ground As an evidence that the Federal Government doesn't take the threats of Seward’s Committee of Twenty very seriously, another shipload of ties is now enroute from Seattle to Seward for the Alaska Railroad. The New Deal in Europe. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) With Norman Davis’s statement that America will enter a consultative pact to insure peace in Europe, it is apparent that the Rooseveltian new deal reaches beyond our borders. Reversing his- toric precedent, the United States has consented, informally and tentatively, to join the nations of Europe in their efforts to secure the peace of that troubled continent. A similar project was advanced by Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles Conference, but it thwarted by a Republican Senate. Now it seems assured. Tt departure from tradition is not, however, as abrupt as it might seem. Cumulative . evidence of the last ten years points to the inevitable entry of the United States into world politics on a larger scale. Isolation was a fetish in 1919, and remained so for a time. But in 1922 we signed the Nine- Power Treaty to preserve peace in the Pacific area, and under this treaty we obligated ourselves to tak part in joint measures to prevent war. In 1928 we proposed, signed and ratified the Kel- logg-Briand Pact, under which we indorsed many of the principles of the League of Nations Coven- ant, but without obligating ourselves definitely to take any action to guarantee the peace. The strength of that somewhat hypocritical document was increased when Secretary Stimson sought under its provisions to prevent trouble! between Russia and China. Further use was made of it in 1831 when China and Japan came to blows over Man- churia. The largest single step toward entering the arena of active world politics, however, came with the Stimson pronouncement of August, 1932, in which he asserted that signature of the Kellogg- Briand Pact carried with it an obligation to con- sult with other signatories in the event of a threat- ened violation of its terms. This view, becoming an official attitude, paves the way for the action to be taken by Norman Davis in Geneva, and in this light it is not the Roosevelt Administration, but the Stimson regime in the State Department, which broke the tradition of isolation. Perhaps it would be more accurate still to say that we have been moving gradually toward closer participation in world efforts to prevent war, and that the pro- posed consultative pact with France and other continental powers is simply the crystallization of that trend. S Shuffling Out of It. (Manchester, Eng, Guardian.) Plain men who are all in favor of phrases which say what they mean have often felt a little doubtful about that legal convention which lumps all sorts of disasters and inconveniences together as “acts of God.” So they may be, but the habit of continually ascribing so many unforeseen inter- ferences with human affairs to the direct inter- vention of Providence seems to put a premium on the pessimistic interpretation of the universe. In the United States, ever the land of innovations, the tendency now seems to have been carried a little farther. Somebody has been suing a golfer for having put his ball through the windscreen of a motorcar on a neighboring road, and the defendant pleads that the wind must have deflected the flight of the ball and that the accident therefore becomes “an act of God.” “Ah! That is an interesting question,” remarked the judge, who said that he would reserve his decision. While doing so, it might be interesting for him to consult some experienced and veracious golfers on why some balls execute wide and wonderful curves to the right or left of the *direction which they are intended to take. If the golfers are candid, they will tell him that those curves are due to an unintentionally imparted spin on the ball which is called “pulling” or “slic- ing,” and that, though a breeze may undoubtedly emphasize the effect, those curves may be seen in full fury on a day when there is not a breath of wind abroad. They will also tell him that even a strong wind will often interfere singularly little with a correctly hit ball. Having heard this, the learned judge, fond though he may be of legal fictions, will probably think twice before he saddles Providence with another result of human error. It seems straining the proprieties a little too far to import “acts’of God” into the game of golf. . The Ho-Hum Season. (Portland Oregonian.) For all that have work to perform, and should be about the performance of the task, this is the oddly enchanted season of ho-hum. The sunshine is welcome enough, and thank you, kindly, but there are properties in it that cause you to yawn when you are not sleepy, and that withdraw the visible from your gaze. People are looking out of windows, far and beyond anything that is to be seen. They are pleasantly wearied, for no cause whatever, and yet they desire to take the long highroad that curves to the sea. For that is the way it must be with them in the sorcerous season of ho-hum. Time, tide and President Roosevelt wait for no man.—(Louisville Herald-Post.) America at least is on the beer standard.— Dakota will not elect delegates until November 6, (Charleston, W. Va, Mail) { IR o RN (R R RE R AR by Percival Chapter 49 o RICCOLI AGAIN The truth about the cruel Kaid of Mekazzen and his son Raisul was that although all feared them alive, none mourned them now that they had departed. It was to be observed that those who mentioned their names spat as they did so, albeit they seemed relieved, as well as aghast that they had the temerity to do it. Nor indeed was a single shot fired from any housetop as French | reinforcements, headed by a Squad- ron of the Fifth Spahis Moroccains, and guided by the accredited emis- sary of the Vizer, rode through the streets of the Citadel that, mighty, impressive, and impreg- nable, frowned down upon the town. “Orderly!” Sage. Otho stepped smartly saluting. “I have been talking with—er— Margaret of Yelverbury, and mak- ing arrangements for her safe ar- rival at that famous place. “She tells me she would like to have a word with you, before the caravan and escort start off.” “Thank you, sir.” “Well, my boy, I should be giv- ing the young lady tea in this room in a few minutes. I am very busy. You shall deputize.” “Thank you, sir.” “Oh, you English!” ejaculated Colonel Le Sage as he strode from the room. “Face of stone—if heart of fire.” “Otho!” “Margaret!” “I'm not crying, Otho . “Margaret, this is absolutely the happiest day in all our lives—so far. Of course you're not crying.” “Otho, you will take care of yourself?” “Cotton-wool, Margaret.” “Otho, the time will soon pass. And look I am coming out to Af- rica again. Dear, I can. I must. I shall.” Otho shook his head. “To some perfectly 'good town, Otho. Sidi bel Abbes, Algiers, Oran. Whatever garrison-town or depot is nearest to where you are.” Otho smiled. “Too good to be true, Margaret. I may be in some desert outpost, or called Colonel Le into the room, some hole like this, for the rest of my service.”’ “Also, you may not. Did you know that Colonel Le Sage is mar- ried?” “No. What about it?” “Well, he is. And I'm coming out to visit his wife. Dear Otho! I'm going to stay with her. And Col- her, too. And he’s going to bring his orderly. See?” “Margaret! Margaret, there's so much to say, one can say noth- ing. What can one say?” “Oh, yes,” continued Margaret. “I have got something to say, darl- | Sage, too. From Colonel Le Sage, leave the ranks.” “Leave Joe Mummery and the other two?” “Yes, rling. Yes. Otho, look. It might Shorten the time for us.” “How?" “Do you know, Otho, that you have made a very deep impression upon Colonel Le Sage? Do you know what he actually hinted at? A commission! As he said, you are a gentleman (a ‘milord’ in fact!), clever, a linguist, a great fighter, Eas brave as a lion, and, as he put it, ‘inexorable faithful unto death.’ “Also you ‘have distinguished yourself again here. He says. with- out you and ‘your men’ he might have failed against Riccoli and in the taking of the Castle.” “Oh, rot! Stop it, darling, do. Don’t let's talk about me. Lets—" “Let's what?” “This, and this, and this, and VALIANT Dus onel Le Sage is going to stay with | ing. And that's about Colonel Le| |in fact. Darling he wants you to! Christopher Wren &0 ccre this . . 2% “Otho, you will take your chance,) won't you?” 1 “Well, aren’t I1?” “You know what I mean, darl- Ing. You will take your chance, Otho, for my sake?” “Desert Joe and the others who came with me? No.” “But think what you'd be able to do for them.” “Yes, dear. Do for them alto- gether, I should think, if I left them in the lurch.” “But darling, we can't marry on a halfpenny a day! We could mar- ry at once when you'd got your commission. Look, darling—I know. You talk it over with Joe Mummery and the other two, after you've seen Colonel Le Sage again. You will, won't you? Promise me that. I shall go away so much happier. Almost happy, Otho, if you'll prom- ise me that.” Otho smiled, as he took Mar- garet in his arms again. “I promise that,” he said. .8 e Colonel Le Sage knocked, in the appointed manner, upon the door |of the room that had been Ric- {coli's quarters, and was now his | prison. ' | “Guard the door outside,” said he to the legionnaire who opened the door, and sprang to attention. Removing the key from the lock, jand pocketing it, Le Sage turned |to Riccoli, who sat at his table, ! nervously drumming upon it with his fingers, and who eyed him with feverish pale anxiety. | “You've come for my help, Le Sage?” he began. “But it will be on terms, on terms. I shall refuse to . . “Listen, Major Riccoli,” inter- |Tupted Le Sage. “The citadel, town, and country, of Mekazzen, are now in my hands—for France. “The whole of what was your column is here, garrisoning the castle, picketing the town and pa- trolling the secret routes by the joases and hidden waterholes. | “I have now a quorum of officers for a council of war, and I could try you this very day by court martial. If I did so, you would be found guilty: you would be Issntenoed to death: and I would myself superintend the carrying out of the sentence, at dawn to- | morrow. The firing-party, under {Major Langeac, would consist of §Lhose Legionnaires whom I know to be faithful, loyal, and obedient | soldiers of France. | “But I shall not have you tried | by court martial.” Riccoli smiled. “I will take it upon me to spare France that scandal. There shall be no great Riccoli affair, eclipsing |in shamefulness and European pop- | ularity the Dreyfus affair; eclips- |ing, because poor Dreyfus was an innocent man, whereas you, Major ,Riccoli. are a guilty one—a traitor ito your country, your army, and your oath, “No.' There will be no court mar- tial.” Riceoli laughed. “I'm sure there won't, my good Le Sage,” he said. “No. No court martial and no jscandal. Do you see this revolver, Major Riccoli? And do you Te- member my spinning the chamber —thus? “And after all, it proved to be empty. “Once again [ offer you a re- volver, Major Riccoll.” Riceoli extended an eager hand, |scized the revolver and—presenting it at Le Sage's face, pulled the {rigger. And again, and again. “No, no, Major Riccoll,” smiled Le Sage. “T had not forgotten what you did on the occasion to which I allude. You fired at me then, with what you thought was the sixth and certain shot. Didn't you? “Now go and stand in the cor- ner of the room—there.” TELEPHONE 478 Everything for Y our Garden Flower and Vegetable Seeds ONION SETS CALIFORNIA GROCERY Prompt Delivery Juneau The B. M.
