14 * DEMOCRATS JES AT HOBBY HORSE Senator Harrison Makes Fun of Coolidge’s Steed—Rainey Asks New Deal. President Coolidge’s hobby horse incd to more fame, according enator Pat Harrison of Missis- . who declared that the emblem Republican party is now a wooden hobby horse instead of an clephant, in an address to the Na- tional Democratic Club at the Shore- ham Hotel last night Seizing upon the President’s wooden mount as a subject, Senator Harrison declared that the present Republican Congress was well exemplified by the hobby horse, which, he said, could and down, but would never go ard or get anywhere. He scored the President's agricul- tural commission and sald that farm- ers were advised to ignore foreign markets and to_only produce enough for the United States. This policy, he said, would result in high prices at home. The policy of the agricultural commission he said-would be one good Dasis to wage the next campsign on. Representative Henry Rainey, chairman of the Democratic caucud in the House, outlined the stand of the Democratic party on many issues and said “From the ashes of last November the great party to which we belong proclaiming anew the which we stand. The need for servative party of progress i country was never <o apparent as now, and the Repub- lican party is not mow and never can be that kind of a party. “We must, of course, first of all bhreak away from the leadership to which can be attributed the disastrous results of the last campaign. We must break away from the candidates who deliberately precipitated the re- ligious issue info the last Democratic national convention “We must break away from the lead- ership and the candidates who were re- sponsible for the tedious, disgusting. long-drawn-out Madison Square Garden convention last Suinmer. We must break | away from the platform utterances of that convention. We do not stand for any policy of religious intolerance and bigotry, but we stand firmly upon the constitutional guarantee which gives to every American citizen the right to wor- ship God according to the dictates of | his own censcience.” Representative Rainey said that there was no need for apologies in regard to the nomination of John W. Davis. OYSTER MEN TO MEET.

OF NEW TERRITORIAL GOVERNOR George A. Parks Has Years of Hard Work in U. S. Possession as Preparation for Job That Came as Shock of His’Life. Years of hard physical work in the midst of the snows and the eternal silence of interior Alaska failed to prepare George A. Parks, the new governor of our northernmost terri- tory, for the great shock of his life, which came to him last Saturday morning when his name was sent to the Senate by Presi- dent Coolidge. . Parks, stunned and overwhelmed by the magnitude of the thing, com- ing to him out of a clear sky, has even yet mot orfentated himself, For his appoint® ment is without precdent in Woashington, where appoint- ments of the President are usually cut.and dried affairs, with every- thing public property for days and weeks before the nomination act- ually goes to the Capitol. His nomination literally came to Parks like a bolt from a clear sky. He didn’t know he was going to be Gov- ernor of Alaska until word came to him from the Capitol that he had been nominated. Well Posted on Alaska. Of course, Geerge A. Parks is re- garded as one of the best posted men on Alaskan affairs in the world. His experience embraces the most rigor- ous training in the hardening proc- esses of Alaskan life. During these 15 or 16 vears in Alaska he carried surveys of the General Land Office far into the unmapped and unexplor- ed Interior. “A story of honest promotion hon- estly won,” the Civil Service Com- mission called Parks’ nomination to- day. “His advancement,” it added, “is the latest chapter in an honor- able career.” Gov. Parks was born 42 years ago in Colorado, in the State from which Secretary Work, his official boss, hails. He never met Dr. Work, however, until he came to Washington from Alaska a few months ago. He graduated from one of thk Denver high schools and from the Colorado School of Mines. Begin- ning an adventurous career that has carried him into every climate on the North American continent, the young mining engineer went into Alaska in 1907 with a private min- ing company on mine valuation work. He was gone about six months in the interfor of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. Then he went to the other extreme, journeying down into the heat of Mexico to con- tinue his mine investigating work. He became indentified with the SAVE COAL, PUT $$§ IN YOUR POCKET The comfort and convenience of regu- lated heat is yours. Indorsed and adopied by America’s Heating Industry.

United States Government service in 1907, beginning as a practical miner in Alaska at a salary of $1,320 and was appoinfled practical miner of the General Land Office in 1909. He then became mineral examiner for the Interior Department, his duties consisting of the examinatfon of homestead and mineral claims. In 1918 he resigned. from the Govern- ment service to enter the engineering corps of the Army. He was com- missioned first lieutenant and came out of the war with the bars of a captain. Re-entering the Alaskan service in 1919, Parks found himself advanced to the post of chief of the field divi- sion of Alaska, in charge of public lands in the territory. Last year he was advanced to the post of assist- ant supervisor of surveys and public lands in Alaska, which placed under his control the entire administration of public lands in the territory. Its all so new to him that he hasn't formulated any territorial adminis- trative policles,” he sald today. He has no plans except to start back for Alaska within the next few weeks to carry on his duties with the land office until June 15, when he will suc- ceed Gov. Scott C. Bone as adminis- trative head of the territory. Gov. Bone, by the way, was not a candi- date for reappointment. Sees Lots of Work Ahead. “There's lots of work to be done this Spring. I must get my survey- ing parties out in the fleld, and clean up the program I have mapped out for this year,” is the way the new governor desoribed his immediate work. “I have not given a thought to the manner in which I should con- duct the government. It is my in- tention to continue at my present job right up to the moment that I am supposed to become governor on June 15.” . More than 6 feet tall, weighing 200 pounds, Gov. Parks is the picture of & man who has had his part in con- quering the far places of the world. Up in Alaska the natives and white settlers call him “George.” Modest- y, he says, it Is customary for every one in Alaska to be called by his first name. But unofficlally, his AR, friehds say, his given name is a mark of great friendship, So “George,” as he is known to thousands of Thlingits and Aleuts and the nmatives in the far interior, take up heavier dutles than he ever known in mid-June. And “George” will go about, his task in the singuarly unromantic fashion that typifies the story of his life. it's just another job to be done well. He sees the romance of taming wild lands, but his thoughts are far be- yond the romance, seeing ahead to the day when Alaska will take her place as the forty-ninth star in the American flag. Gov. Parks, oddly enough, hasn’t had any of the experiences that usually characterize years of life in Alaska. He hasn't fallen through the Ice and been rescued by Eskimos. Ho hasn't been shot at by frantic gold hunters, nor has he been lost in the trackless wastes of the interior. But he likes tobacco and loves his work. OUSTED GROCER ASKS $10,000 IN DAMAGE SUIT Joseph Doyne today filled suit to recover $10,000 damages from Isaac Sussman and Rose Sussman for al- leged illegal entry and removal of goods from his store, 917 Bighth street southeast. The plaintifft says he rented the property in September, 1923, from the then owner and used it as a grocery. In January, 1924, the title to the property changed and the new owners demanded an In- creased *rent. When he refused. to pay more, he charges, he was served with a notice to quit and February 11 the defendants, who had bought the property, entered the place in his absence and set out his goods and fix- tures and changed the lock on the door, Doyne adds. He is represented by Attorney R. W. McMahon. IF YOU HAD A AS LONQ A8 THI8 FELLOW AND HAD SORETHROAT TONSILINE The Nationa! Sove Throat Remedy SHOULD QUICKLY RELIEVE IT .

Maryland Official Says Typhoid Scare Was Blessing in Disguise. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, February 18.—The ty- phoid fever scare, despite the. fact that It cost Maryland oystermen sev- eral millions of dollars, was a “bless- ing in “disguise” and ultimately will react to the profit of the State opera- tors, Swepson Earle, State conserva- tion’ commissioner, believes. Although the industry has been vir- tually paralyzed because of the em- bargo imposed by Illinois, the emer- gency is passed and next season will be a banner year, Earle predicts. Rigid supervision of the industry and adherence by all oystermen to Federal regulations which will be drafted this week at the national conference In Springfield, IN., will inspire complete confidence in the Industry, resulting in unprecedented business next season, according to Earle.
