The advertisement for bids for construction of the Aalska capitol is the evidence that at last we are near the beginning of the end of the long fight for the -building. The first Alaska Territorial Leg- | islature asked for an additional appropriation for a| capitol. Already there had been appropriated $200,- | 000 for that purpose. Finally in 1916 Delegate Wickfl ersham introduced a bill for an additional ap-' propriation. The item was included in the regular public buildings measure but this was not pressed for passage because Congress ran into the prepared- ness naval program. Another ten years slipped by. Delegate Sutherland favored building a capitol with the remnant of the $200,000 previously appropriated. Then Congress appropriated $750,000 for the con- struction of the building, and we have now reached | the point where bids are asked for doing the work. The bids will be opened July 15, and if every- thing goes right the contract ought to be awarded shortly thereafter. This is good news for Juneau. It will mean first of all the expenditure of large sum of money here. and dignified housing for the Territorial Govornment and the Federal officials, and it will be an inter-| esting addition to the scenic features of the City. a JOINING THE WORLD COURT. Senator Hiram Johnson is out to defeat Presi- dent Hoover’s desire that the United States join the World Court of«Nations. He wants the Am- erican people to “retain” their "mdc]mndcnce,"‘ meaning something that is not clear. The World Court, like the League of Nations, is doing wonderful work for the peace of the world and its general welfare, but, Nations, its usefulness would be greater if the United States were a member. The emlightened thought of the country, we be- lieve, is behind President Hoover in his contention that the United States ought to join the court and perform her proper part in world affairs. Demo- crats are, apparently, generally supporting the President in the premises. That they are regular in doing so is testified to by the fact that Gov. Smn.h,.

The viewpoint of the world in the premises was |rather neatly expressed recently by the Prince Rupert News, which said: It will be a great thing for the world if the United States decides to join the World Court, an outcome of the League of Nations. It will be a step toward break- ing the political isolation of America from world affairs. It is now more apparent than ever be- fore that no nation can live to itself. The buiness of every other nation is to a large extent the business of every individual na- tion. We saw that accentuated during the World War. A nation had to be for or against one or other of the combatants. Britain will welcome the United States to the World Court if she decides to be- come a participant, and Canada, as part of the British Empire and prominent in the League of Nations, will add her welcome to a neighbor country. | { | | Gov. Parks's veto deprived Alaskans of ar oppor- 'tunity for a glorious sham battle over the Alaska |Bohe Dry Law. It is not likely that the result jof such a contest would have borne fruit. If the vote had been for repeal it is not probable that the ;Anu-s;\lmm League would have permitted lchsla—‘ {tion to carry the public will into effect, and if it had been against repeal we would be just wherej we are. The election of Henry Messerschmidt to fill the| vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Mac- "Spadden from the City Council was an appropriate recognition of one of Juneau's sturdy young citi- zens. He is a good business man, has lived in Juneau all his life and is in every way qualified to fill the office to which he was chosen. He will make a good Councilman. Dawes in Dominica. (New York World) It was not difficult for the Dawes Commission in Dominica to poimt how a deficit of $4,127,000 | could be reduced to $769,000 by cutting out projects not so definitely enteréd upon that discontinuance |would be wasteful. It was not difficult to point out how that deficit could be turned into a surplus next year by weeding out superfluous Government |clerks and economizing on various Government ven- tures. The difficulty comes when the advice is to be followed, as President Vasquez says it will be. As! the Dawes report says, “politics play a large part in the employment of personnel for public works.” Any | Dominican President who undertakes reorganization |for retrenchment and discipline for efficiency will| ,earn for himself the complimentary enmity of the displaced and all their relatives, and will create But more important it will mean adequate|opportunity for a successor who may promise to take | the easier way, enduring deficits as necessary evils. Nor are we entitled to sneer at Dominica for | |this in any holier-than-thou spirit. General Dawes reminds in our own public employment before civil-service- rgform rules were introduced; he might have added that it still does in lessened degree—and that in (New York City, the world metropolis, reorganization for economy and efficiency is sitll delayed, year ing |'m: delay, that President Vasquez faces. | “The way of ambitious’ young authors is hard,” says a critic. It'is. Even when they get books published very often the authorities make no at- tempt to confiscate them.—(London Punch.)

J. LINDLEY GREEN, Register. ¢+ ———af ALONG LIFE'S 1929; Hard Life “You say you don’t dare buy a used car, own a radio, play golf or get married. What's the answer to that?” “I made a solemn promise to my mother when I was a kid that I never would use profane language.” More or Less True Daughter’s skirt may be pretty short but at that, it is longer than the time she spends in front of the kitchen sink giving mother a lift with the dishes. It isn't possible to imagine a modern girl slapping a new Boy friend for kissing her, but it is pretty easy to believe she'd “cut” him 1later if he didn't If love wasn't blind a good many women would still be using Miss instead of Mrs. and a good many men would be spending more money on themselves. It is an ideal marriage if when his: wife is away he doesn’t miss her like a pain that has left, but does like his vest when he sheds it in the spring. Only thing that would embarrass a girl who looks like a skeleton es- saped from the closet, more than revealing so much of her grief, would to be dressed sensibly enough to hide it. The groom may be fooled into thinking he is marrying a cook, but | the neighboring grocer knows the wedding is going to boost the sale of canned beans. It's funny how crazy a woman can be to get a “man,” but it is funnier how crazy it makes her to find after she has got him that! he really is a man with all the bad habits and faults of his species. One ‘of the ironies of life is that the woman who can afford every modern convenience in her kitchen, hires some one else to do the work in it. Our idea of an honest-to-good- ness mannish woman is one who would rather go to see a baseball game than spend the afternoon on a shopping spree. LR S NUTICE.
