ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALASKA JUNEAU PROFITS PROMISING. The profits of the Alaska Juneau mine for July, without depreciation charges, wel $96,000. This is at a rate of $1,152000 a year—somewhat | larger than the 1928 average. In 1928 the profit, | not counting depreciation, was $971,000. Charging | depreciation, the 1928 statement showed a net profit of $781,000. If this year's operations show July to be an average month and $190,000 be charged off for de] ition, as was done last year, the net| profit for 1929 will reach $962,000. We may expect these figures to show the ap-| proximate results of the year. Whether or, not they | may be somewhat higher or lower, it is very plain that Alaska Juneau stock has authentic values. Th(‘x indications are that the prevailing prices on the New | York Exchange are not too high. This is important to Juneau in many ways. 1t | furnishes the sort of advertising that creates con-) fidence and it assures us a large payroll for an in- definite number of decades. As The Empire has | said before, while we do not talk as much about it as we do about the good things that are show- | ing in the offing, the Alaska Juneau is Juneau's greatest asset, and one of the best assets of the| Territory of Alaska. TRANS C SPEEDING. Al German | In discussing the recent record of the ship Bremen from Cherbourg to New York in com-| parison with other records of other ships it must | be borne in mind that most of the earlier records| were timed for the route between Queenstown and | New York. The Cherbourg and | New York is considerably greater than that be- tween the American metropolis and the Irish city. The difference is seen clearly when it is known that the Muretania's record between Queenstown | and New York is sixteen hours less than the record | of the same ship between New York and Chorl)ullrli Before the performance of the Bremen the Maure tania held the record on both routes. Trans-Atlantic records have been an interesting | topic for a century. In the time that has elapsed | since the Savannah crossed the Atlantic in twenty- six days more than three weeks have been clipped from the time. A New York World editor has pub- lished a list of notable trans-Atlantic records, as follows: Columbus, 71 days, 162 Savannah, 26 da distance between 1492; Mayflower, 63 days, 1819; Sirius, 18'% days, 1838; Great Western, 1 days, 1838; Britania, 14 days 8 hours, 1840; Pacific, 9 days 19 hours, 1851; Persis, 9 days 1 hour, 1851; Scotia, 8 days 2 hours, 1866; City of Brussels, 7 days 22 hours, 1869; Baltic, 7 days 20 hours, 1873; City of Berlin, 7 days 15 1875; Arizona, 7 days 7 hours, 1880; Alaska, | s 18 hours, 1882; Etruria, 6 days 1 hour, 1888; e, 5 days 18 hou 1891; Lucania, 5 days 7 1894; Maurctania (Queenstown), 4 days 10 1910; Maurctania (Cherbourg), 5 days 2 Bremen (Cherbourg), 4 days 17 hours, hours, hours, hours, 1928; 1929. ALMOST CONFESSES. Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts has severely criticised the Methodist Board of Temper- ance, Prohibition and Public Morals, and dubbed it a political and lobbying organization. He declared that it ought to make a report of its receipts and expenditures as other political organizations are required to do. The Board has denied that the organization is political or that it maintains a lobby. It admitted however, that it maintains offices in its $400,000 building adjoining the Capitol grounds; that it ap- peals for votes against candidates that do not favor prohibition; that it watches all legislation in Congress and when it sees anything which it opposes it has men talk with Senators and Rep- resentatives, It also admitted that it gave advice to Senators and Representatives who asked for it. Almost, if not quite, it confesses the truth of the eminent Massachusetts Congressman's charges. It admits the facts upon which the charges were made, but it scouts the Tinkham interpretation of the law and of what is required to constitute a politician and a lobby. Mr. Tinkham is sixty years of age; holds two degrees from Havard; holds mem- berships in the American Bar Association, the Mas- sachusetts Bar Association, the Bar Association of the City of Boston. He is a member of the Havard Hasty Pudding Club; member of the Mayflower Descendants; member of several historical and econ- omic societies; a member of a half dozen men's clubs of high repute; is an officer in charitable and civic organizations; is an active member of Massachusetts Republican organizations; has served two terms in the Boston Common Council, two terms in the Boston Board of Aldermen, two terms in the Massachusetis State Senate and is serving eighth term as a member of Congress from where he represents the aristocratic resi- section of the City. He seems to be quali- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1929 tion he has had long experience in four important legislative bodies and Republican organizations of his State. He ought to know a political organi- zation or a lobbyist when he sees one. And he mild‘(‘ the charges as a member of Congress serving under his oath of office. In a recent speech made in Ohio Representative Hamilton Fish of New York denounced the “pro- fessional political vulture.” Mr. Fish also derided the “political jackals,” the “snakes in the grass” and the “birds of prey.” This would seem to be an attack on the zoo by the aquarium. The Censes Bureau says the population of the United States is gaining at the rate of 1,500,000 a vear. If they can keep Scarface Al Capone in'the Philadelphia jail long enough there might be a still further increase. Some people are lucky in politics and others are Stanford professors or graduates. A Federation of Europe. (New York World.) M. Briand's renewed espousal of a plan for unit- ing the States of Europe has been interpreted in various ways. Some see it as a challenge to the new American tariff and regard his project of an| organized Europe as primarily a customs union de- |signed to counter the restrictive trade policy of the United States. It is true that M. Herriot, a former Premier and the leader of the French Socialists, recently declared that Europe must present a united front to the increasing economic menace of Am- erica, but M. Briand broached his idea of unifica- tion a long time before the American Congress had revealed its ultra-protectionist leanings. His proposal was seriously discussed as early as 1926 and was apparently a sequel to Locarno and the manifesto of the bankers and industrialists of sixteen nations calling for a lowering of the trade barriers on the Continent. Since this beginning M. Briand seems never to have wavered in his ad- vocacy of some sort of European federation. About a fortnight ago he announced that he would prob- ably lay his ideas before the Assembly of the League of Nations, which meets in Geneva in Sep- tember, and that he had already received assur- ances of sufficient co-operation to justify the hope of some tangible development. M. Briand does not depict the proposed union as a defensive or offensive alliance. Recently, when drawn into a discussion of his plan in the Chamber of Deputies, he said: “It is not against other coun- tries that Europe must be organized, but in order to achieve peace and put an end to conditions of anarchy. _In such spirit shall I try, in agreement with my Government and several European states- men, to create a European organization which shall be a new guarantee of peace.” The French Foreign Minister thus seems to have; in mind a political as well as an economic accord. His next step will probably be governed by the reception which his proposal receives at Geneva, and this in turn may depend on the progress which has been made in the interim toward the final cceptance of the Young plan at the coming inter- national conference. If this conference functions harmoniously and the last chapter in’ the liquida- tion of the war is written there, conditions will be | propitious for the presentation of M. Briand's plea for a federation of Europe to the League Assembly. If the reception of the proposal is favorable, he is expected to suggest the holding of a Pan-Euro- | pean conference in the near future for a fuller discussion of the matter. It is not to be inferred that so seasoned a diplo- mat would go far without first sounding out the chancelleries of Europe. This he has done, and he has also taken the precaution to keep the American Government fully informed so as to allay any pos- sible misunderstandings on this side. The replies from the governments on the Continent have been generally favorable. Nine of them have shown a distinctly friendly attitude. Great Britain, because her interests are ecntered on her overseas posses- sions rather than in Europe, is the only impor- tant country approached which has shown a dis- position to remain aloof. To Honor L’Enfant. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The geniug that lies behind the unique plan of the City of 'Wasiiington may be traced largely to M. jor Pierre L'Enfant, a Frenchman whose name is known to most Americans, but about whom little else is known. His plan, too, has been -neglected for quite some years and mény developments in the capital have gone on without regard to the central idea of L'’Enfant’s plan. Becoming aware of this misfortune, Congress has made plans to come back to the original plan for the capital city, and spend many millions of dol- lars in the rebuilding of the “Mall” in accordance with the spirit of the French founder's conception. In keeping with this move to revive the true struc- ture of the city, the American Institute of Archi- !ects' Cocmmittee on Plan of Washington is sta ing a movement for nation-wide memorial services to honor L'Enfant, William Thornton and others who contributed to the architectural and landscape beauty of the capital. This is an admirable scheme, for the surest means toward a lasting appreciation of our country and its institutios is the full knowledge of the men and women who were responsible for our most cherished « treasures, whether of natural or archi- tectural beauty, whether of scientific advance or legal achievement.

If you water them superficially, on the surface, the roots will keep to the surface, taking this ready supply of water. If you do not water them, the roots will strike down deep into the soil where the moisture is. oty i L U “A large part of our patriotism is 8 habit,” |cynically remarked Clarence Darrow addressing L:;e ya:'l)e?fan Club in Paris, Aye!
