The priaoo fa tee Ex-Klna of Barcelona, Va-Alfoneo Va-Alfoneo lends, Jaca and other cltiea were opened for thousands of political and revolutionary hostages lncar- cerated during the dictatorships of the last eight years, while crowds boisterously celebrated the death of the monarchy and the birth of the republic. Don Nlceto Alcala ZamoHi. pro- vlalonal president of Spain, at once assumed power. Born on May 17, 1880, sis months after the death of his father. Al fbnso XII, Alfonso XIII automatic ally became the king of Spain. His mother. Queen Maria Christina, 'was appointed regent and ruled the country aa sovereign until Al xonso necame sixteen, when, according ac-cording tu 8panlsh constitutional law. he reached his majority and came into his full kingship. Alfonso made no bluff of abdlcat Ing Jn favor of hla son. The king dora of Spain Is at an end. And Alfonso, by yielding without blood shed, won for himself a unique honor. He did not have to take to his heels and scamper for his life. He went out of Spain In a dignified way, a man who feels that he has served his nation well and who knuws himself worthy of this isst mark of consideration. It will he Interesting to watch the developments In Madrid during the next few weeks, for the trend In government on the continent of Europe has not been wholly a vic tory for present-day democracy. In certain countries, notably France, a republican government has functioned with admirable sta biUty. In others the tendency has been toward dictatorships And the chief difference between a monarchy and a dictatorship Is that Individual ability and dominance, dom-inance, rather than accident of birth, bring about the selection of the ruler. IN ASSUMING his duties aa vice-1 vice-1 roy to India. Lord Wllllngdon finds the country vastly more complex com-plex and Infinitely more difficult to deal with than was the Dominion f Panada. Instead of having to .handle 10.U00.OU0 people with only two principal languages, the new governor general has KTtO.iiOO.OOO speaking 222 vernaculars, all crowded crowd-ed In a apace about half the size of Canada. Lord WHIIngdon Is facing a country coun-try not only clamoring for the right to shape her own destiny but one beset with acute racial and re-Ugioua re-Ugioua cleavages and animosities, with Hindus outnumbering Moslems by a to i. Te be sure, every viceroy has had this Moslem-Hindu communal problem to struggle with. Observers Observ-ers In India say It will always exist, ex-ist, as long ss the Hindu worships the cow and the Moslem eats It. for It Is the so-called desecration of this snlmal that causea moat race riots. One of the few bright siot Lord Wllllngdon will find Is that the Nationalists Na-tionalists art now at pence 'with the British government. But how kng tjiis will last depends on Vnr iirenfcttre' oir - tnoep-riinc,e Gandhi secures when he goes to the second "round table" conference confer-ence In London this summer. If Jnereaseii remuneration ' and honors are any compensation for the trials he must face. Lord Wllllngdon Wll-llngdon may find aome satisfaction In the fact that his $30,000 salary as governor general of Canada Is doubled and bis expense allowance quadrupled. worths personal popularity waa such that a solid party vote waa confidently expected to appear when needed. Now the would-be bolters may not be drawn Into line by personal affection for the party leader. Archie Roosevelt, brother of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, said that his sister "has never and will not seek political office." Roosevelt made this statement at the Longworth home and added that my alster will of course go bark to Washington where she baa a residence, but Cincinnati Is ber home and ahe Intends to make It such in the future." Farther than this, he said, Mrs. Longwertb baa no future plana. This would seem definitely to set at rest rumors that Mrs. Longworth would be a candidate for her late husband'a seat In congress. on the grounds thst others Involved In the post office deals were not In-dieted. In-dieted. Judge Woodward said: "Respect for public office Is les? sened If they msy be bought and sold. The offense of which this defendant lias been found guilty Is grave. I do not deem It necessary to Impose the extreme penalty but the sentence mast be of such a nature aa to deter other congressmen congress-men from snch practices." Rowbottom's attorneys Indicated that no appeal would be taken. The Jury returned Its verdict after deliberating two hours and five minutes. The ex-congressman, testifying s a witness, told of receiving money from job seekers, but In sisted It came to blm with expressions expres-sions of sympathy over his unsuccessful unsuc-cessful campaign for re-election last November. lotermountain News Briefly Told by Busy Reader ROAD IS OPEN TO PARK LICENSE ISSl'E IS LESS ASK DECREASED RATE UNMARRIED FAVORED OAS FUMES FATAL Plane Crash in Front Yard Kilb Two r- Secretary Adams GOV.

The vote for It In the house bad been 91 to 66. Several of those who voted for repeal In the senate, where the turn of two votes would have changed the vote, frankly admitted they voted for It only be-, cause of the referendum, by which the voters of Illinois, by a large majority, expressed their approval of repeal. Governor Emnierson. however, left the way open for alterations In the reenler, which he aaid would rawe K to meet with his approval. lie declared In Ids veto message that If the repealer had contained s referendum provision "so that the people of the state, with the full knowledge of the consequences. could vote on wiping out all state liquor legislation without regard to the Constitution of the United Mates, I snould feel compelled to sign the bill." The governor asserted that the efforts of Illinois "wets" to strike all proldhitlon laws from the statute books was nulllflcationlsm. CH A Jar AIRMAN meg C.

Affectionate Affec-tionate tributes from all parts of the world laid stress tixn his attractive at-tractive personality. These expressions, expres-sions, and the high esteem manl fested by the public nnd through the press, are a rich legacy of com fort to his family. Mr. Longwnrth's deuth has, of course, completely changed the coarse of events In the house. A truggle for the speakership would have occurred In any event, but It was taken for granted that Mr Longworth would command all tin-votes tin-votes of his party and thus hold an even chance of winning (he speak ershlp.

It need not touch as directly at "any point but we cannot escape It. Russia Is In a position to make the price In the world market, and It will not be a profitable price. Much the same situation Is developing de-veloping In relation te lumber and oil. Itussla has s larger area of useful timber than any country In the world and aa fast aa It can. by forced labor. It Is turning that timber Into lumber In order to real Ize cash or credit on It from ita sales In the markets of the world. The effect on lumber prices must he similar to that on wheat. The world of the established order or-der has never been confronted by such an economic menace na Russia Rus-sia now presents, not to speak of Its social and political menace.
