Hyder seems to have become I
a mecca for the itinerant ped

\ariety of the wares offered
seem to increase with tht

is many times based on false- 1
hood, but they seem to “get !

The most formidable oppon- f
ent of Vice-President Dawe;
in h’s campaign for a change
in the riles which govern the
<" Iterations of the senate, ap
Tc* -s to be former Senator A.
J. Beveridge. The latter is un
questionably a great studenv
ef the Constitution. His great
work on the life of John Mar-!
shal familiarized him with
events leading up to the adopt- j
ion of that instrument, the
reasons which determined the
nature of it, and the com-1
promises which entered into it. ^
B vendee would not be called
c great constitutional lawyer,
but he knows much about it,
d can tell what its framers
were trying to do when they
wrote ”'to it the sections cre
atin'? ft” national Senate and
House of Representatives, de- j
f:nin<r 4heir duties.
Tt is the contention of the
former senator from Indiana '
hat Mr. Dawes’ proposals if
arried out, will destroy the
leliberative function of the
Senate, make it a junior ad
unct of the House and de
troy the fine balance be
ween them.
If the Senate rules are to gc
lefore the whole people foi
olution, there is certainly nc
larm in having both sides pre
ented by able champions.
)awes would alter the Senate
ules by creating public senti
.lent which will demand t
hange. Such action woulc
hrow the responsibility there
ore, upon the electorate a' j
arge. If the popular will is to
Jetermine this matter, by al. ,
neans let us hear both sides

Doubtless one great burder
n the life of the Presidem
nd Mrs. Coolidge is that thej
nust always go about wit!
aeial expressions which wil
ook all right in pictures. Thej
know not what bush maj
lave a concealed camera.
The world is full of scratch
?rs-with here and there a lone
Jigger.
The scratchers are satisfied
with small crops and little
work. The digger plows deep
er for large returns. The
■cratehers are satisfied with s
'ittle study and general intelli
Tence. The digger searches
’ong for wisdom. The scratch
es drift far to the right and
he left. The digger sails J
straight to his goal. The ;
scratchers follow the opinions ;
of every man in the market i
Diace. The digger makes up
his own mind and leads others.
The scratchers read a hundred
books and forget them all.
The digger reads one and
makes it his own. The scratch
ers are very, very many. The
diggers are few.—Exchange.

Just. For Fun
The Blueberry Kid says the
less real class people have the
more stuck up they act.
And then there is the flapper
who opines that dancing, like
milk, builds up the calf.
The average fellow who
complains that he never gets
what he deserves would prob
ably be surprised if he did.
Mothers are defined as
women who hope their sons
will grow up to be what she
thought their father was.
When we were smaller we
never had our head shingled,
as is the prevailing fashion.
The only shingle we got was
applied elsewhere.
Poise is that quality which
enables a woman to appear
serene when she knows some
hing is loose.
The road to success fs
lot macadamized; it’s pretty
ough going and the scenery
s nothing to brag about, but
t gets you somewhere.
The next time a man tells
you talk is cheap, ask him if
he knows what one session ot
congress costs.
If the face is the mirror of
he soul, there are too many
tracked souls running loose.
If Washington knew all he
lad become father of he
would probably turn over in
lis grave.
Ben Oien says that one bene
it derived from long engage
nents is that you won’t be 1
married so long.
A woman’s hat and stock
ngs should match,we read in
he fashion notes. Well, any
way, the stockings should
match.
If we only knew how to en- j
oy what we’ve got the world j
vould not be such a bad place. I

“Niggah, I’se goin’ to back j
V’ou up ’gainst ’at wall; I’se |
?oin’ to mash yo nose all ova 1
yo face; I’se goin’ to push !
dose teeth down your throaa1
and black both yo eyes, ei
cetera.”
“Clack man, you don’t mean '
Jt cetera; you mean vice ver
sa.” - |
“How did you lose your last!
job?”
“I was fired for making a
mistake.”
“That seems unfair. We are
all liable to make mistakes.
What was it?”
“I told the boss that he
couldn’t get along without
me.”
There’s no use trying to joke
with a woman. The other day
a certain Hyder man heard a
pretty good conundrum and
decided to try it on his wife.
“Do you know why I am like
a mule?” he asked her.
“No,” she replied. “I know
you are, but I don’t know
why.”
A local man who would
ordinarily not be suspected of
the habit, says the reason he
goes to church is to sit and
admire one man who can make
such a number of women
keep quiet for such a long
time.
A newly arrived Britisher j
I showed up on the job one
(morning with a black eye-;
Questioned as to how it hap- i
pened, he asserted that he'
went into a restaurant ana i
asked the waitress, “Have you
j fiogs legs?” and then much
to his astonishment she said,
I “how dare you,” and hit him
! with a water glass.
A friend who claims tc know !
tells us that girls do not use
flavored lip sticks for their
own benefit. From which we
deduce that it is a smart girl
whose complexion tastes as
good as it looks.
Captain Lours Lane, noted
Arctic navigator, and for
many years commander of the
Poalr.Bear, arrived in Juneau
recently on a small gas boat,
enroute to Kodiak, where for
a time he will engage in the
capture of whales for fox
feeding purposes. Captain
Lane asserts that whale meat
is the natural food of the blue j
fox, and expresses confidence
he will find a ready market
for the whale meat. He says!
he already has orders for the ;
meat from some of the fox j
farmers of Prince William
Sound. At presen. he will de
liver the meat in a raw state,
but as the market extends to
Southeastern Alaska, he plans
to cure the meat and ship it
in barrels.
