The Alaska Juneau mine, the various prosp ng adventures, the building (radcs.; the sawmill, the City of Juneau and the road build- | to to cause ing agencies, including con tors, have more men employed now than they had last year—more than | enough to offset the payroll on the Federal and Territorial Bullding of that time. Times are not hard in this city. They are good | and they will better. There is unemployment here, it is true, due to the circumstance that| Juneau’s reputation for prosperity has brought more pecple from other s:ctions where times are not so| good than we have use for. The further fact that low fish prices have caused a number of fishermen to look for employment in other lines has added ge to the woe, but an effort is being made to find | something for those now here to do. That does | not mean tr work can be found for all who might come here. That could not be done, and none | should come here until the need for workers again rises. YORKTOW | The proclamation of Presiaent Hoover directing that flags be displayed on all Government buildings in the United States and urging appropriate ceres- monies in all American churches Sunday, October 18, and in schools, colleges- and other appropriate | places Monday, October 19, in celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the sur- render of Lord Cornwallis to Gen. Washington, is timely, and compliance ought to be general. The objections that have been urged against National recognition of the occasion, for fear that it would offend the British people, are purile. In the first place it is foolish to believe that it would be of- fensive to the British. In the second place it would be worse than silly for Americans to forget under any circumstances to honor the day that ended th2 terribly costly War of Independence and, in the words of the President, “heroic struggle for political freedom and the ideals of liberty upon which our institutions are founded.” Statues of Washington stand in London and other points of the British Emphre, and the anni- versary of the adoption of the Declarauun of Inde- pence is appropriately observed in many places under the British flag. The intimation that the people of Britain would object to the observance of the anni- versary of the surrender of a British army to Gen. Washington is to impute a smallness to them that they do not deserve. expect them to object It would be as sensible to| to our Fourth of July cele- brations. The American and French victory at Yorktown signalized the successful completion of | the undertaking that was entered into when the Continental Congress declared the independence of | the Colonies from the British Sovereign. In prin- ciple there is no difference between Yorktown Day and Independence Day. They are our big days and let us observe them. NO MORE RUBBER WARRING. i The economic war between Americans and Brit- ish over the price of rubber has at last taken| care of itself. A score of years ago Americans, the chief consumers of rubber, were paying about two | to three dol a pound ‘for it, mostly to the British, the principal producers. Now rubber is a drug on th: ket. It is selling for less than five cents a pound Two things have brought, this condi First, of course, there is the lessened account of the depressi But has on. also there been the vast increase in production induced by the high prices in the past It is too bad that rubber producers cannot sell their product, but there is relief that American and British interests have ce. to quarr over rubber production and prices.

LR 5, T Vot TS | Who Rules the Waves? | (The Commonweal.) : Americans should indeed feel proud of zhmrj yachtsmen who sailed across the Atlantic in vessels| all under a hundred feet long, and soon after ar-| riving in England entered one of the largest and | sportiest races in English waters, a thrash of‘ approximately five hundred nautical miles in open| sea and channel chop. Then to have the American | yachts come at first, second and third through some‘ |of the dirties weather within the memoty of Eng-| lish veterans of the race, is history of the same almost incredible sort as the famous America's| achievement in coming in so far ahead of the| British yachts that watchers from the shore did| not even knew she was racing. The most sincere compliment that we can think to pay English| yachtsmen in the circumstances, is that to have been able to do this in competition with them really is cause for irrepressible glee. The valiant little yawl, Dorade, sailed by her owner-designer, Olin J. Stephens, of Scarsdals, New York, clinched her winning of the transatlantic race, by again coming in well ahead in the English classic. William McMillan's schooner, Water Gipsy, of Baltimore, Maryland, which came in second, and George Roose- velt's schooner, Mistress, of Oyster Bay, Long Island, which placed third, also deserve to be named. The death of Colonel Hudson, skipper of the English yacht, Maitenes II, who was washed overboard when all hands had to abandon ship in the ter- rific squall off Fastnet, is deeply to be regretted. Canada’s Great Road. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Canada follows the example of Rome. The Dominion plans to huild a great highway across her mountains, plains and forest lands. The work is to start this fall. The highway will extend for four thousand miles. The imposing project will give wid2 aid to Canada's unemployed. Its cost will be tremendous, but it will represent a national im- provement of heroic proportions This great traverse will pass through rock and scrub forests; over bogs, streams and prairies. It will stretch from Halifax on the Atlantic to Van- on the Pacific. Some of its links will cost $10,000 a mile to build. Battalions of unemployed be mobilized and set to work. The present will pay in dividends of empire proportion. Every good great road in |this age is a national asset of incalculable value —either in times of peace or in times of war But it is in the interests of peace that this new |great thoroughfare is in the way of being con- structed. Along it will pass the tides of commerce, the armies of pleasure.
