CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER UBLICATION WORRYING ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBLE. The Seward Gat:way. usually well-informed on all Territorial subjects and sound in its discussions on most of them, finds a bogeyman in the Norris Bill to consolidate the Department of Justice agencies of the Second and Fourth Divisions. Commenti: on this measure the Seward paper said: To adopt the plan suggested, would, in its practicable application, mean only one thnig, that the headquarters would be at Juneau. Litigants and their attorneys would be compelled to make pilgrimage to Juneau Even now, “the tail wags the dog,” but, after Senator Norris’s plan went into effect, there would be but little left of Alaska other than the “tail.” The Gateway is worried about something that couldn’'t possibly happen under Senator Norris's bill. If it should become law, the boundaries of the Second and Fourth Divisions would remain as at present. What is proposed is to have one United States District Judge and one United States Marshal for both of them. The terms of the encumbents in offife when the bill becomes law, if it does, would expire on June 30, 1932, and after that only one would be appointed for each of the two o ices involved But district court headquarters would remain unchanged. Nome would be headquarters for the Second Division, and Fairbanks for the Fourth, as is now the case. The officers and their assistants would reside in either town they preferred, and would probably hé guided*ih that by the convenienca® in transacting official business. The Empire is not arguing that the consolidation is proper, and does not advocate such a step. It is merely calling attention to the Gateway's mistake s0 that the record will be kept straight. Its inti- mation that Juneau would like to “grab” off the “pie” is too preposterous to need discussing JIGGS AND MAGGIE— M'MANUS. ND GEORGE On January 25, Jiggs and Maggie, who have been frequently termed the “two best known Amer- icans” celebrated thair twenticth anniversary. And their creator, George McManu was the recipient of more congratulatory felicitations than usually falls to the lot of a cartoo humorist or mere maker of comic strips that adorn newspaper columns. They camz from persons in all walks of life. Vice-President Charles Curtis and his predecessor, General Charles G. Dawes, Speaker John Nance Garner of the House of Rer entativ Senafors J. T. Robinson, Democratic leader, and Hiram Bing- ham, Connecticut Republican, were among the high American officials to greet him and congratulate him upon his brain-children who have amused and entertained count millions of people. Other noted public figures joined them, including Gen. John J. Pershing, Owen D. Young, Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt, Charles M. Schwab, Gifford Pinchot, Daniel Willard, one of the country's foremost executives, Madame Schumann-Heink, Marie Dréssler, Glenna Collett Vare, Representative Mary Norton and other noted women. Two Presidents, Juan Gomez of Venezuela and Max H. Martinez of San Salvador, and many other forzigners remembered him, also. McManus says he got his idea at the tender age of five years for Jiggs from a famous Irish comed- ian—Willilam Barry. At 15 years, McManus left school and went to work for the St .Louis Republic in the art department a job which his father got for him when a teacher reported his son was more the Beattl: unable to do so, |to Capital Yacht ‘The suggsstion, later, | members, ‘but s d Conventions in South | This Summer,Parks Says | | suggested to the to be run, Southeast Alaska (Continued from Page One) San Fran- |north. are already These will being bring | navigation | countered since unfamiliar with navigating ‘The University of Oregon who will make the hey expect to have between travels it was the in advance, | ‘of victory of 1932.

It is as important to study | them as to direct powerful telescopes at nebulae | that were glowing before the solar system was formed. There is nothing spectacular about count- ing meteors or noting the regions whence they come.

On the contrary it was a good example | of what is going on throughout the country. Sen- | ator Robert J. Bulkley, Governor George White an Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, the spea ers, were much applauded as they expounded good Democratic doctrine. Here as elsewhere harmony and optimism were the keynotes. But the Democrats have been full of harmony and optimism in other springs only to end in| dissension and defeat in November. Jouett Shouse, | Chairman of the National Executive Committee, | warned against this when he said, at Chica The victory is ours if we hold together and do not let our enthusiasm wane.
