The population of Juneau should show remarkable increase within the present year, and it will be followed by further progress as the years come. Never before did Juneau enter a new year as promising as the one that begins today. There- fore, it is more than a hope of fulfillment: that The Empire today wishes all of its readers a wvery, very, happy and prosperous New Year, LIFE INSURANCE MOSTLY AN AMERIC! \\ INSTITUTION. \ |one The Empire printed an item saying the United|c Btates carried nearly $80,000,000,000 of the|Jacob $113,000,000,600 of life insurance that is in ef-|clearly could emphasize the terrible situation fect in the world.

A number of weeks ago Louis Cicco, Lorain, Ohio, City Prohibition Officer, fired upon an auto- mobile in which a man, his wife and child and a friend, Miss Betty Heywoocd, were passengers. Miss Heywood was wounded, seriously, by one of the bullets fired by the officer, who, WLlaimed that he was attempting to intercept a shlpment of liguor. No liquor was found in the car. The driver was a respected, law-abiding citizen. A Judge of the Court of Common Pleas just has fined Cicco $5 and costs as a fitting and adequate punishment for his crime.

The trouble with a lot of mar- riages is that a husband will ex- pect his wife to be perfect and yet see no reason why she should not be satisfied with him just as he is.
