Beyond His Reach
-x
Abraham Lincoln was resting
with his managers in a hotel
lobby. As usual, the village dudes
had congregated there and one
bolder than the rest, remarked:
“Mr. Lincoln, your speech was
..mm twawMiwi ••• *
good but there were some points
quite beyond my reach.”
The simple Lincoln looked up
and chuckled. “I’m sorry for you;
I once had a dog that had the
same trouble with fleas.”

I houses of Aiaska deserve the
service.
Charles M. Perkins, Seattle
postmaster, has written postal
authorities at Washington, D. C.,
ndorsing the proposed route.
This first air mail link with
Aiaska is planned to have Seat
tle and Juneau as its terminals.
Once it is established there
should be no undue delay in ex
tending air mail service to the
widely separated points in the
interior of the Northern ter i
tory.
Winter brings to thousands of
Alaska’s citizens and business
communities an isolation wholly
u't of harmony with the modern
rhythm of this great nation. But
winter also makes Alaska’s in
terior one vast airport, where
planes equipped with skis may
land on the snow at almost any
point.
Even in the summer, with
more widely spread facilities of
’ravel than winter affords in
the North, there is too much de
lay in the transit of mail be
tween interior and coastal points
The gap between Seattle and
Alaska should be closed with
swift delivery of air mail, to be
followed by a similar system to
all points in the interior.
Banishing of isolation would
encourage travel and settlement
in the North, it would facilitate
business, and it would give great
Impetus to development.
This would mean much to Se
attle, and Seattle should work
with determination to bring it
about.

BISHOP DECLARES IDEALS OF
MEN FADE AWAY AT 50
-x
“The cares of the world pull
men down and cause them to
lose their ideals,” said Rev. Dr.
Francis J. McConnell, bishop
Methodist Episcopal church, in
a sermon in this city.
“We are forever making ad
justments and compromises,”
said the clergyman. “Without
cynicism it can be said that to
day idealism seldom survives 50
years of age. Indeed, it has been
observed that if a man’s ideal
ism does survive this age his as
sociates think him erratic.
“It is impossible to say at just
what time of life these ideals
slip from the grasp,so imper •
ceptible is their receding. That
is all the more reason why we
should be doubly on guard a
gainst these circumstantial forc
es of life that cause us to fall
short of our mark.”
Dy FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
In a speech at the dinner of the
Monroe Democratic County
Committee, on utility mergers.
-x
Nobody wants to put a public
utility company out of business
or hurt a single investor. But
the people of this State have
reached the end of their rope as
to how far they can let the
companies go in the old-fash
ioned process of watering stock.
I would like to know how far
we can let these big mergers go
when in some instances they
take over a company worth
$200,000 and then write it down
on their books as costing $1,
000,000, and issue stock for it.
The consumer has to pay for it.
Of course we are ready to pay
the interest on legitimate invest
ment but $800,000 of that is pure
water.
Nobody is going to be hurt. I
repeat that this is a social and
a governmental problem and it
is going to be solved regardless
of politics. There is going to be
saved to the home-owners of
this State millions of dollars in
every section of New York.

AUDIENCES LIKE BAFFLERS

“Never outwit your audience”
was once a standing rule for all
directors of motino pictures but,
in “The Studio Murder Mystery,”
the authors, The Edingtons, and
Frank Tuttle, the director
adaptor, have tried hard to do so
and they believe they have suc
ceeded in baffling any audience.
“The Studio Murder Mystery,”
which will show at the Coliseum
theatre Saturday, is Paramount’s ;
latest all-talking thriller and l
the story is laid almost entirely
on the talking picture-making
stages of a Hollywood studio.
You will gasp with amaze- l
ment when you see and hear the
