ULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER AT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION EARLY EASTER TOMORROW. Next to Christmas, Easter, which will occur to- morrow, is the greatest day in the Christian calendar. It signifies the triumph of life over death—the Resurrection. It is appropriate that the Savior's Resurrection came with Spring, a time of many resurrections. It is a time when all Nature in the Northern Hemi- sphere is in a process of resurrection. Spring suns are “flinging off the Winter garments of repent- ence.” Forests, fields and gardens are coming to life as came the Son of Man nearly two thousand years ago in Palestine. Easter signifies the resurrection of faith. as religious faith that had been dimmed by the At least one Washington nwspaper correspondent declares that it is settled conviction at the Na- tional Capital that President Hoover will run for re-election as a dry in favor of the continuation of Prohibition. In its account of the defeat of the sales tax measure the Associated Press says the Houfse must seek other sources for $600,000,000. Well, it might pass a light wines and beer bill. The Empire has received an interesting and sound letter regarding the Holzworth bear sanctuary and anti-pulp and paper mills proposals, but cannot use it because it is anonymous. Newspapers do not print letters unless they know who wrote them. The Alaska Juneau is this City's insurance against ravages of depression now or in the future, Lower British Rates. (Boston News Bureau.) Europe has evidently been recovering quite rap- idly from its recent monetary and credit chills and fevers, just as there has been relaxation of senti- ment and conditions on this side of the water. Now the British bank rate is cut again, as also are Irish and Danish rates, following two days after a German reduction. The lowering of the Bank of England discount! rate, in fact, seemed almost belated, so confidently had it been expected a week earlier as a conse- quence of the comparative glut of new funds and the ease of open market quotations at London. So the rate is now almost involuntarily marked down again to 4 per cent. from 5 per cent., after having been similarly reduced from 6 per cent. to 5 per cent. on February 18. All reason, artificial or natural, has also disap- peared for maintaining a relatively high bank rate. Beside which there is always the obvious benefit assumed from a low rate to British business, which has long felt the need of some stimulus. Last Sep- tember, when the gold standard was abandoned, there was the motive of checking speculation in food, etc, as well as in securities, and also inflation in general, Hence the 6 per cent. rate. The British authorities have also by now pretty well completed their preparations for paying off remaining American and French credits. London is once again a magnet for international balances, and a strong candidate for renewed emin- ence in international finance, after having been subjected to so heavy a drain a few months ago. Just Her open-market rates have been virtually cut 1nl two since the middle of February.

The tenacity of the management has been remarkable. It took years to put it on a paying basis. Between the achievement of that objective and the first of the present year nearly $3,300,000 in operating profits have been made. Now comes this late development that promises to add to the output and further increase the profits. The Alaska Juneau is the cornerstone of Juneau's progress and insurance for a long career as a min- ing center and continued prosperity. HENRY W. DOOLEY IS DEAD. Henry W. Dooley, prominent citizen of San Juan, Porto Rico, since the Spanish-American War. Demo- cratic National Committeeman from that Territory since 1912, died the other day at his home, aged sixty years. Due, among other things, to his activity and flowing whiskers, he has been a prominent and diverting figure at the last five Democratic National Conventions. Twice he has been able to get the Democratic National Convention to declare for Statehood for Porto Rico. ready for introduction at the Chicago convention in June. He also recently circularized the leading Democrats of the country regarding the celebration this year of the centennial of the first Democratic National Convention which was held in 1832. Mr. Dooley has served on the platform committee in the Democratic conventions, and has always co-operated with the Alaska delegations in behalf of home rule for the Territory. The habitual delegations from the various Territories will sadly miss Mr. Dooley at Chicago. JUNEAU’S SECOND LARGEST INDUSTRY. The announcement that the Juneau Lumber Mills will begin operating with a force of one hundred men weck after next has been favorably received. Next to the Alaska Juneau mine the Juneau Lum- ber Mills has been the largest employer of labor in this section. It has contributed immensely to the prosperity and growth of Juneau, and given employment to a lot of men in the logging camps. Mr. Rutherford has built up one of the most modern and efficient manufacturing concerns on the Coast here. He has earned the gratitude and good will of all the people in this vicinity. BISHOP ROWE AND PROHIBITION. Bishop Rowe, veteran Alaska churchman, says Prohibition is a failure in Alaska and elsewhere. Bishop Rowe is an able and observing man and he has had a lot of experience in Alaska and elsewhere. He is a conscientious Christian gentleman, and he does not talk lightly. He knows ‘the meaning of words and when he speaks he means just what he [into the Democratic ring might do wonders toward says. His conclusions are not hit or miss.

You take two-thirds of the conven- tion, or say 778 delegates, necessary to nominate. You add up 456% votes for your candidate on the first ballot, not counting the Canal Zone and Porto Rico. You figure on 117 4-5 additional votes on the second ballot. You figure out 98 2-3 recruits on the third ballot provided the temperature in the convention hall does not go above 97 degrees. You thus come within 34 votes necessary to nominate. You then go out and consult a good palmist. The Guggenheim Awards. (New York Herald Tribune.) The John Simon Guggeneheim Foundation al- ready has many claims to the title of America’s most cheering enterprise. The annual award of fellowships announced by the Director, Henry Allen Moe, is if anything more stimulating to the fancy than usual. There is a larger proportion of work- ers in the arts, and throughout the list a fine dis- regard for the conventional chiselers of funds, foundations and fellowships. There is romance in the thought that one of our great mine owners should grub-stake these young adventurers in their search for the fine gold of the spirit. Many will doubless come back empty-handed; a few will strike rich veins from which to take, in years to come, great treasures to be shared with all. The foundation is to be applauded for its in- sistence on the value of spiritual affairs, for its liberal judgments on the suitability and needs of candidates, as well as for the entire freedom which it allows them when appointed. The mounting list of fellows already carries im- portant names, which, as the years go on, are likely to be on every tongue. = George Washington is entitled to be regarded as a literary man for several reasons, according to Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, who then goss on to say, “There was no man who could speak more directly to the point.” That would not have made George a very successful literary man—(New York Times.)
