In the series of articles that have been appear- ing for several days in The Empire, dealing with practically every phase of the Juneau Public School System, there has been much solid food for thought. There are two major questions which the citizen of any community asks regarding its schools—Are they offering the best opportunitics possible under all conditions to the pupils attending them?, and, Is their administration efficient and economic? the group of ten articles on the local schools all tended to answer these queries. They were packed clearly states that the trial of all crimes, except | S/ding within the boundaries of |: with information that every citizen of Juneau, whether parents or students or not, will find re- assuring. The growth in enrolment and daily attendance over a 10-year period has been phenomenal. The cost of operation of schools, including per capita cost of education and maintenance of plant, has shown a gratifying decrease. And the of scholarship, as evidenced by the results of standard tests, is well above the average for the entire country. The qualifications of local school teachers are considerably higher. both for experience and technical training, than the standard required and also higher than the average for teachers in public schools throughout the country. The Juneau Public School System, with the finest plant in the Territory, is one in which every resident can justly take a pride. It is show- ing splendid results for every dollar invested in it and expended to keep' it operating. Superintendent Keller and his corps of teachers are deserving of the congratulations of the town on their achievements, which, it is evident, are notable for the high standards reached and consistently maintained. aver: IMPORTANCE OF REDUCING WAR BURDENS. The United States is now paying $5,200 a minute on past wars and in preparing for future wars. Great Britain is paying within $200 of this amount— $5,000 a minute, Under the circumstances the only wrong thing we see about that offer to cut 200,000 tons from our total naval tonnage is that the pro- posal ought to provide for a greater reduction. The fact is, we believe, the conference could very well follow the suggestion of Premier MacDonald that battleships be eliminated completely. A great many experts already agree that in the event of another war battleships would serve principally as targets for airplane bombing If this opinion is correct they would be expensive targets. It would release a lot of maintenance money for other pur- poses if the nations would do away with the bat- tleships entirely. France is being compelled to reduce expenses for education purposes in order to keep up her army and navy. Great Britain and the United States could either reduce taxes or cut down national debts and make necessary interest payments smaller and thereby release capital for investmnt in development projects No international problem is so important as the elimina.on of war and next to that comes the need for reducing costs for military purposes. FORMER KLONDIKER MAY SEEK GOVERNORSHIP. George White, former Congressman from Ohio, and one of those who stampeded to the Klondike in 1898, is mentioned in Eastern newspapers as likely to be made the Democratic choice for Gov- ernor of his home State in the elections next Novem- ber. He has long been active in the councils of his party. In 1920 he was Chairman of the Demo- cratic Committee and he has been prominent at national party convetions for many years. Mr. White, shortly after graduating from Prince- ton, took part in the Klondike stampede and is said to have wrested a modest fortune from the frozen gravels of the great Yukon camp. On his return to Ohio he immediately gravitated to public life. He s a moderate Dry, lacking the fanaticism of Gov Donahey, which makes him more acceptable to the urbanites of his party. His “dryness,” however, ap- peals to the rural voter. Party tacticians consider him almost ideal timber to conteAd for guberna- torial honors in the State. . RETRENCHMENT IS CONTINUIN Course of business continues to be relatively dis- " appointing. That is to say, in the major lines there ‘was a distinct let-down in February from the Janu- ‘ary spurt and, of course, comparison with a year ago 1s distinctly unfavorable. & It is evident enough that the policies of re- ' trenchment by the consuming public, and by manu- facturers and merchants as well are continuing.

The necessity, the Law Enforcement Commission, what amounts to Police Court procedure into Pro- hibition enforcement in order to relieve the hope- less congestion of Federal Courts, is more |mere evidence of the failure of Prohibition en- forcement practice to win or hold popular sup- port. That failure has long been obvious to fair-| minded observers. But ' juryless justice is a new and disquieting idea in Federal Court practice. Local Judges and | Justices are given personal jurisdiction over cases 'of misdemeanor and petty charges which seldom are more grave than disorderly conduct and involve imposition of costs, minor fines and occasiona {light sentences. It has been assumed heretofore, |however, that Federal laws were enacted upon a |violation a crime. Article III, of the Constitution,, |cases of impeachment, shall be by jury. If the Wickersham recommendation is accepted |City Of Juneau, which are as fol- i | by Congress, the Federal Government partially will | usurp local police powers. While it seems that an| lin the criminal class, it is to be considered “c |or slight” and turned over to a Commissioner who is both Judge and jury. |eation of jury trial rights was one of three pos- Isible reforms considered by the Law Enforcement |Commission. Either the Government could create innumerable new District Judges, it could establish a costly em of jury-served Police Courts, or it {could abolish trial by jury. The first two alterr {tives would set up ponderous and expensive system to take care of an emergency. The third, and rec |ommended one, flaunts constitutional provisions fo: |the same purpose. { The dangers of such a precedent are self-evi- (dent |trial Commissioners will not eventually be made as the appointment of enforcement agents are to be |made, in consideration of their personal views on |Prohibition rather than their respect for justice? Considering the constant pressure of intolerant groups on Congress, how is the country to know | that sacrifice of trial rights in connection with one | These questions are neither casual nor slight. Beware of Whispering Campaigners | (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Sixty days of politics are before us. It will be a time of strife and trouble, of whisperings, in- nuendo, propaganda and lies. ) First will come the municipal campaign, a month | hence, and then the Territorial primaries nenrly} two months in the offing. In each of these elec- lnuns there will be matters of vital importance to the people. Therefore it behooves them that |they should not be deceived in either of the sev- |eral contests by the blathering of would-be lead- ! |ers, organizations or candidates. | | Times have been when voters failed to recog- | nize and distinguish falsity from truth, and so it | will be in the future. In general, however, the ' public has not been fooled for long, nor will it be | in the years to come. \ | We must not commit ourselves verbally or men- |tally until we know all the candidates, all they stand for, and the ultimate public good. We should and will liten well to all candi dates, consider all measures proposed but not make up our minds until we know all those candidates who seek election and all the facts regarding their aims, ambitions and - possibilities, We must beware of the whispering campaign. That is the most deadly of all, so far as good government is concerned. | e The Peace of the Balkans. (Manchester Guardian.) The protracted negotiations between Jugo-slavm’ |and Bulgaria to achieve some sort of arrangement |of the frontier questions have now ended in an |agreement which should do much to allay the con- |stant state of hostilities that. obtains there. Where |the frontier has cut through farms and estates a |series of voluntary exchanges of land is to be car- |ried through. Regional commissions are to be estab- lished to superintend this work, and the problem of the innocent trespasser over the frontier is brought within sight of solution. The difficulty of |the comitadji bands is left untouched, but the fact irlm( trespassers will now have no apparently rea- sonable exe for trespassing will surely make less constant those incidents which threatened to prevent | permanently the re-establishment of good relations | between the two countries.
