The low registration is evidence that even the “dog question” is not seriously considered by the average citizen. Whether you vote for or against the dogs, vote! And while you are at the polls, even though Mayor Thomas B. Judson and School Director Grov- er C. Winn are unopposed, vote for them also. The four candidates for the three places on the City Council are all sane, conservative business men and longtime residents of Juneau.

SILVER CONFERENCE GAINS SUPPORT. i Support for the proposed silver conference with | representatives of all leading nations of the world participating seems to be accruing. Recently Senator | Borah was quoted as saying: “If we could get! an international agreement of exchange with silver standard countries, our problem would be solved. 1 believe silver conference agenda could be limited | so as to prevent any international complications.” -| It is generally believed the fear of internationsl| complications has caused President Hoover to hesitate about taking the initiative for such a gathering. For instance, any effort to discuss the\l change from silver to the gold standard in India, which threw much silver on the world market at a | depreciated value, might be considered an affront by Great Britain. If assurance could be had that dangerous topica that might lead to embarrassing situations could be barred, it is said the President | would promptly take the lead in calling a silver | conference. AERIAL SERVICE INAUGURATED. With the arrival last week of the first Alaska- Washington Airways plane from Seattle, aerial navi- gation for the season was inaugurated for Southeast Alaska, and the Panhandle was linked more closely to the States. This service in past years has dem- onstrated beyond all doubt its value to the Terri- tory. It has earned the confidence and support of the public. It is with real pleasure that we welcome Pilot Ellis and his companions back to Juneau and wish for them and their company a prosperous and ! successful business. RE(‘OMME;\;ATI()NS RELATING TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH. Surgeon General H. S. Cumming of the Public Health Service has recently issued a report which | emphasizes the fact that the prevention of dlseasei and promotion of the public health are of great importance to the nation. Certain recommendations are made as to the means of protecting the vublic health in the most economical and efficient man- mer. It is not only necessary to recommend addi- tional measures relating to the prevention of the introduction and spread of diseases, but also to conduct investigations as to the cause, mode of spread and methods of prevention of diseases of public health importance. Each year the study of public health problems becomes increasingly complex Legislation enacted during the past year created the National Institute of Health, using the Hygienic Laboratory as a nucleus. The present organization of the National Institute of Health furnishes a sound basis for its expansion. At least two new divisions are required in the Institute in the con- duct of the fundamental research work relative to diseases of man and in the underlying basis sciences. Facilities are also needed for the organization of a number of special research units for the investiga- tions of specific public health problems. Still further extension of the cancer needed. Among other important studies which it is de- sired to take up are the following: Investigation of heart disease as one of the major causes of prelr‘mture death, ventilation studies, studies of mental hygiene from the standpoint of biochemistry and endocrinology, and further studies of the epi- demiology and prevention of undulant fever. The idevelopment of efficient whole-time local health organizations through which all necessary public health activities may be conducted in proper sbquence and in proper relation one to the other, is a program which should be enlarged and extended. work is As has been indicated by the President in a mes-; sage to Congress, this should be based on local and | population Second” and M.n.- | thereby |comprehensive and general public health program | The Government announces that income tax {returns for March were low.

It is agreed by experienced public health authorities that any program limited to special diseases or particular elements of ihe is economical and leads to con- fusion. There no doubt that adequate loca! ‘ alth organizations provide the machinery through ‘which all public health activities may be conducted insuring to communities a well balanced ndapbed to their needs. It would be of advantage ': place such cooperative work on a more permanent ba and to provide for it for a term of years rather than from r to year. mcra-l twice the face of one of! ts most egregious sons, just back to us with gar- nds on his brow and the tribute of foreign ad- miration in his pocket, consternation, horror and sorrow “stalk” from Main Street to Hobohemia.

And all these celestial wranglings are said to spring from that thinnest old pretext of quarrel—casual literary re- semblance. In this age of enlightenment who would have thought to see the shadow of Sir Fretful Plagiary? There is one thing about this grievous strife, so reminiscent of Elizabethan fiery genius, that may quiet us a little. The Founding Father swatted the Comparative Son. The woe would have been in-!

Forl the sake of American letters they should breathe | The time they are wasting in common wrath should have been saved. It should have been devoted to the millions of Philistines who still cumber these United States. These moments of despair are not impenetrable to hope. These after-dinner battles sometimes bubble up from pleasant causes or concomitants and need not be carried to enduring or ferocious lengths The .spectators at this jar of giants were more or less of a literary or imaginative type; and the greatness of the men may have enlarged the inci-| dent. It may well turn out that, as the old lawy put it, the Founding Father molliter manus imposuit laid his hands but lightly on the Comparative Son A benediction, a caress, may have been misintes- preted. Just as Apollo treats Tityrus in the Eclogue, the Founding Father may have given an Comparative Son —who is also the Incomparable Son | of Minnesota. 1 They Laugh At It. 1 (New York Herald-Tribune.)
