Almost 1,200—1,160 to be exact—of Juneau's resi-|oootnino things about newspapers which it did not dents have registered to vote in the annual muni- |gqmire and this was in spite of the fact that it is cipal election that occurs tomorrow. This is the largest in the past decade and one of the largest in the city's history. This registration is indicative | of a lively interest in the municipality’s administra- tion and portends’an unusually heavy vote in to- morrow's balloting. The vote ought to be heavy. Every citizen whose qualificationg entitle him to a voice in the city’s management owes it to himself and to his fellow citizens to exercise that right. - And this is undoubt- edly recognized by a big majority of Juneau resi- dents as evidenced by the large number who reg- istered, the first and essential step looking toward voting. Two complete tickets are in the field. Mayor Thomas B. Judson, who has given Juneau five suc- cessful administrations, heads the Citizens’ Ticket, his companions on it being Wallis S. George, Henry Messerschmidt and Ralph Beistline. The opposition ticket is headed by A. W. Dishaw, with whom are running J. B. Burford, Henry Meier and Olaf Bod- ding. Juneau under Mayor®Judson's regime has made splendid progress. It has had more permanent public improvements during that period than in any similar time in its history. More permanent streets and sidewalks have been laid, a permanent sewer system installed throughcut the city, a large new school plant gpnstructed, the City Dock rebuilt, new floats for small boats built, a. public gridiron installed, and numerous minor improvements made. Messrs. George and Messerschmidt are members of the present Common Council and have given Mayor Judson wholehearted support during their tenure. Mr. Beistline, running for the vacancy left by the ex- piration of the term of H. G. Nordling, like the latter, is an employee of the Alaska Juneau. All of the candidates on the Citizen’s Ticket have resided in Juneau many years, are familiar with its history, its problems and its resources. Without doubt Mayor Judson is entitled on his record to be re- elected, and believes those running with him should be elected with him. Both tickets have pledged “efficiency and econ- omy” in administration of the city's affairs if elected. Thus, whilz The Empire is convinced that Mayor Judson’s ticket is entitled on the record of past performances to be successful, it has no dis- praise for the opposition. The caliber of the candi- dates on both tickets is so high that the city is assured of an continuation of a sound, business-like administration no matter who is elected. PRAISE FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. In recently pointing out that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is not in the lottery business, the Seattle Times, commenting on a letter to it from Secretary G. H. Walmsley to that effect, took oc- casion to comment favorably on the work that is being performed by the local business men's organi- zation. Under the heading, “Northern Ice Pools,” *'the Times said: The Juneau Chamber of Commerce asks the help of The Times in correcting the mistaken notion held by at least one citi- zen of Los Angeles that the business com- munity of the Alaska capital acts as a dis- tributing agent for the Dawson ice pool tickets. A letter which appears on this page today says the Los Angeles man was moved to send a dollar to Juneau because he had read in The Times that tickets could be bought through the Chamber of Commerce of that city. This newspaper, of course, never made the statement that the Juneau Chamber had any interest in the ice pool at Daw- son. Annually the meager facts concerning the breaking up of the ice in the Yukon River at Dawson and on the Tanana at Nepana, Alaska, are printed. This in- formation is given to announce the re- sumption of navigation on the mighty Yukon and its tributaries and not with the idea of fostering interest in betting on the time of the event. Aside from a natural distaste for aiding a gambling enterprise, there is the compelling influence of the postal laws which forbid the dissemination of such informa- tion. Y There is still another reason for not con- necting the Juneau Chamber of Commerce with the Dawson ice pool. This newspaper knows that the business community of Ju- neau is engrossed in the task of promoting mining, fishing and timber industries, the development of water power and the expan- sion of such cultural influences as schools and churches. It is ready to supply in- formation concerning big game hunting, fur farming, hiking and mountain climbing, but it holds aloof from ice pools and all such reprehensible devices to entrap unwary dol- lars, The Times gladly joins with the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in correcting the | interest |Survey has decided to abandon predatory animal capital of Alaska is in more serious work. The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has taken a most active part for years not only on matters affecting local interests but also those relating to | the Territory as a whole. Its record for accomplish- ments is unusually excellent. It is the strongest numerically and financially in the Territory. The its members take in its work is amply evidenced by the capacity attendance that char- acterizes its weekly meetings.

Juneau’s 1932 registration was one of the largest ever recorded in its history. Its vote in tomorrow’s municipal election should be correspondingly large. One of the gorillas in a Washington zoo has just |died. But what's one monkey more or less to the National Capital these days? Time Drops Radio. (Western Publisher.) Time, the news magazine, has on occasion said indebted to newspapers and newspaper services for many of the facts appearing in its colunms. All newspapers, however, must feel rather grate- ful to Time for the pointsd and pungent manner in which it recently discontinued its weekly radio broadcast. The broadcast, known as “The March of Time,” had a wide following which was due, in part, to the “leanness of radio fare,” according to Time's statement. Despitz this popularity, however, Time declared that in its belief “further expenditure on radio at this time would not justify itself. Time's statement continued. H | Unlike the newspapsr, which sells adver- tising in order to fulfill its prime function of giving news, the advertisement is radio’s prime offering. Also unlike a newspaper, which increases its pages along with any increase in adver- tising, radio is.restricted to the hours of the day. Of these hours it sells as many as it can. Naturally the evening hours, when most listeners are tuned in—the “front page” of radio—are virtually the property of the advertiser. Should Time Or any other business feel obliged to be the “philanthropist of the air” to continue paying for radio advertising it does not want in order to provide radio | with something worth while? | Another Crack in the Ice Jam. (New York Herald Tribune.) The splendid showing made in the House by the proponents of the Beck-Linthicum resolution has |stirred the Senate to emulation, Senator Tydings |already has obtained twenty-four signatures to a peti- tion to discharge the Senate Judiciary Committee from further consideration of its anti-Prohibition measures and says he expects to get thirty-eight in all. This will not constitute a majority of the Senate’s membership, and very likely, therefore, the petition will fail to dislodge the bills, but, as in the case of the Beck-Linthicum vote in the House, it will register a moral vietory for resubnlission. Especially significant is the fact that among the signers to date are Senators Watson, of Indiana, and Keys, of New Hampshire, two recruits from the dry side. Sehator Walson comes up for re- election this year and in a State hitherto regarded as a private preserve of the Anti-Saloon League. Yet he has chosen to disregard the league’s threat to “blacklist” every lawmaker who flirts with re- submission. Presumably he has had advices from home that “The Literary Digest’s” figures, which give Indiana a repeal majority of two to one, do not misrepresent the sentiment of his constituents, for if there is any one in American public life whose ear is closer to the ground than Senator Jim Watson's we have yet to hear of him. So it really begins to appear as if the ice jam, as Representative Beck has called the dry control of Congress, was on the point of breaking up. That premonitory booming noise just heard came with the crack caused by Jim Watson's defection. KITTY by JANE SYNOPSIS: _Clever plotting by Garficld Frew's mother has resulted in unhappiness for his wife, Kitty. Mrs., Frew has given Gar money, so he would not get a job. Kitty resents this dependence, and runs way to remain until Gar will sup- port her. ‘Gar’s half-brother David, estranged from the fam- ily, advi her. CHAPTER 18. Mrs. Frew turned to her mir. ror and carefully put into place a lock of hair that had escaped Cora’s attention. “Mrs. Garfield has been home- sick, doubtless. There is no need for your concern, Pound. She may have gone to her home for a lit- tle visit, and Gar knows, of course” Pound shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. “She didn% go home, madam. She went to Mr. David’s, the address to the driver.” - Mrs. Frew's astonishment at that was more than she could con- trol. “But, en! Kitty—Mrs. has met David.” Poor Pound. sixty-two in service, obedient to the slightest command. Mrs, Frew's Garffield never Gar burst into his mother’s rcom, statement commanged. “He obeyed. “She knows him, Madam. She met him here. Mr. David comes sometimes to have dinner with his father.” He waited, his kindly wrinkled face marked with dis- vid. Mrs. Frew appeared to be weigh- ing what had been said. Except that her mouth was drawn into a thin hard line, she gave no sign of any emotion. After a mom:nt che walked to a desk in the corner of her room and took from it a checkbook. She filled in one of the it carefully. “This covers the rest of your wages for the month, Pound. You may go this morning. And under tthe circumstances, into which I do not think we need go, you can expect no references from me, of course.” For a moment Pound's old body stiffened under a wave of anger. He opened his lips to speak, then closed them. He bowed his head, took the piece of paper and with- drew, shutting the door carefully softly behind him. Mrs. Frew stood quite still look- False Alarm in the West. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Evidence piles up steadily, indicating the political revolt in the Middle West is not quite as serious as many thought. The Liberty Party, pledged to nominate William Hope Harvey for President on a cheap-money platform, had a meeting of its Ex- ecutive Committee recently. Two out of 17 com- mitteemen turned up. The Coin Harvey boom seems destined to the same fate as the scores of agrarian third-party movements in our history. Roughly comparable, but more significant and more worthy of consideration, is the candidacy of Governor W. H. (Alfalfa Bil) Murray of Okla- homa., Murray and, in a more discreet way, Garner of Texas, represent the dissenting voice of the West, howling for a modern Andrew Jackson to lead them out of the wilderness of debt. But North Dakota, which ought to vote for Murray if any State should, has given Roosevelt a substantial margin, according to latest returns. The Southwest may do better than the North- west, since Murray hails from that quarter. But even so, his vociferous candidacy must be accounted a false alarm. Voters appear to be placing "their trust in cautious and discriminating leadership, rather than picturesque and promising rebels against the established system. Perhaps the real significance of the North Dakota elections is the trend toward the Demo- cratic Party. The proportion of Democratic voters was nearly doubled over the poll four years ago. This may be solely because the contest is more hotly waged in the Democratic Party, but it may also mean that men and women are demanding Democratic ballots in the preference primary be- cause they intend to vote for the Democratic can- didate in November. And, anyhow, isn't the ‘Government hoarding all those bureaus down in.Washington?

He dimly remember- ed her saying something about go- ing home— “I1 wire to Bridgewaler. take the night train.” “Well, son.” Mrs. Frew sal down in a chair and motioned to him to 'draw one close to her. ‘You must not rush into anything. ™ You must think of the future.!

She was terribly mad, Mother! I guess I've been rotten. T guess maybe 1 acted rotten last night— T can't remember.” “Calm yourself, aear. Kitty has gene home. Pound put her in a taxi.” Gar, it is certain that she will do it again. Wait and let Kityt see{ for herself how silly she is act- ing. In a few days you'll have a letter from her begging you to for- g've her for the distress she has caused you. Then you can go to Bridgewater.” Gar's face had brightened. He caught hold of his mother's hands and squeezed them boyishly. “You are the greatest mother a fellow ever had. The way you see things out.” She smiled her gratitude for his tribute. She left her hands in his. But she didn't]e: “I hold my motherhood as my|e most sacred responsibility. I must always be ready to help you, Gar, o think things out. You must always know that. I never have told you what pain I felt over your hasty marriage. D've feared for its outcome and I have prayed that it may mot bring you no un- happiness. I know yowll come to me—as T saw at once—that Kitty is not our sort.” “And it is for us to make her over to teach her than our stand- ards are a little different from those she has known, to be patient with her when she makes mistakes, to help her.” (Copyright, Jane Abbott.) Will Mrs. Frew's smooth- ness succeed? Gar decides his course of action tomorrow.
