Juneau cast 1,712 votes, an in- crease from 1,051 four years ago and 1341 in 1916, the previous high mark. The vote of Gastineau Channel communities was 2220, proving this to be the most populous center in the Territory. Juneau and Gastineau Channel are growing. Of that there is not a doubt. The Juneau increase in voting in the last four years has been about 70 per cent. It will not be claimed, of course, that the population has gained that much, for the interest in the election this year was greater than it was in 1928. But there has been a large increase. Ju- neau's population now is without doubt well over the 5000 mark and that of Gastineau Channel exceeds 7,000 Not only has Juneau grown but so also has Douglas and the communities along the Glacier Highway. Thane, Salmon Creck, Mendenhall, Jualpe and Lynn Canal, all connected with Juneau by the Glacier Highway, showed very healthful in- creases. These precincts cast more than 250 votes Douglas cast 220 votes, the largest in recent years. LOOKING FORWARD TOWARD LOWER TARIFFS. British and Canadian statesmen are now talking of abandoning their high tariffs for reciprocity They feel that the Democrats will win the Ameri- can election and are looking forward with hope % the Democratic platform pledging the Government to call an international tariff conference for the pur- pose of bringing about an agreed upon reduction of duties to stimulate international trade and traffic. It is proposed by the British Government, it is said, to maintain the Imperial differentia’ tariff among the British Dominions and Great Bri- tain for the time being. However, English free traders are hopeful that the world is approaching a period of low tariffs and reciprocity. They profess to see a marked reaction against the tariff walls that countries have been building up for thc last few years. RESPOND TO RED CROSS ROLL CALL. There should be the usual liberal response in Juneau and Alaska to the annual roll call of the American Red Cross. This organization is the one that always answers first in case of any disaster or catastrophe. It is the watch tower guard that observes and helps when help is needed at any place in the world. It is a high honor to be enrolled as a member of the American Red Cross. Every member ought to renew his membership and all who are not mem- bers ought to enroll at once. Every individual ought to make sure that his name is on the roll of honor TAMMANY DEFEATS LA GUARDIA AND MRS. PRATT. Among the vietims of the super-functioning Tam- many Tuesday was F. H. LaGuardia and Mrs. Ruth Pratt, both more than prominent New York Re- publican members of Congress. La Guardia has taken a leading part among the Republican insurgent Congressmen for many years. His defeat, it is said was due more to the circumstance that he ran as a Republican for Mayor of New York against Jimmie ‘Walker and made an anti-Tammany campaign than to his Congressional insurgency. Tammany tried to beat him in 1930 but could not quite make it. Mrs Pratt incurred the enmity of Tammany when she was a very critical member of the Board of Alder- men. The organization made hard battles against her in each Congrsssional election but was not suc- cessful until this year. ELECTION SEALS DOOM OF PROHIBITION. One thing that the Presidential campaign and the voting of 1932 has done is to seal the doom of Prohibition. All that is left to be done is to mop up the nuisance. That that will be quickly done there seems no reason to doubt. Everywhere the people got an opportunity to do so they took a punch at Prohibition. California and Washington have repealed their bone dry and State enforcement laws. They have determined that the Federal legislation shall not be reinforced through State aid Hereafter those States like many others will step out of the Prohibition enforcement game and let the Pederal agents go it alone. . Prohibition has been the nemesis of the Repub- lican Party. Republican defeat in the 1932 election was a foregone conclusion after the Democratic Con- vention at Chicago declared in unequivocal language for the repeal of the Eightéenth Anendment and, pending repeal, for immediate legalized beer and . light wines. While Republicans did their best in " the campaign to rectify mistakes the party had made through trying to hold the Prohibitionists in line ond and Main | giminished. they could not obliterate the feeling that the Demo- . cratic Party was the militant anti-Prohibition or- ganization. The Republican Party is not alone among the sufferers from the Prohibition experiment. The| prestige of many church organizations has materially So many ministers permitted them- selves to be dragged into politics through Lhe: Prohibition conflict that the people generally have come to think of many churches as political rather than religious organizations. The result has been harmful and it will take sometime for them to recover the lost ground. After he had served two years as Governor of New York President-Elect Roosevelt was re-elected 9y the record of 725,000 majority. A prediction: Before he shall have served two years as President e will be one of the most popular of American Presidents if not THE most popular. The election is out of the way, but we shall still 1ave the foothall games, and Thanksgiving and then Congress. And with Congress will come more beer nd Eighteenth Amendment debates. Perhaps it would have been different if that romise had been for a chicken in every car. Technicians for Statesmen. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Doubtless the United States today has more men f high ability than at any previous time in its nistory. But for the most part these men are tech- nicians, whether in law or science, medicine or oublic administration or finance. Few are men vhose understanding of human nature and of the functioning of a complex economic society is great *nough to fit them for the higher posts in govern- ment. 7 In this relation an observation of Ernest Martin Hopkins, President of Dartmouth College, is per- dnent. He says: The era of specialization has developed so rapidly that we are still without. con- sciousness of the sacrifices which it has entailed. Specialization has largely de- | stroyed the supply of men of broad talents formerly available for the organization of life for its greatest common advantage to all men. Our men capable of high poten- tial thinking and of great works are being conscripted for service within highly special- ized groups. Consequently, when under demands of the common welfare the diverse interests of these groups have to be harmonized, when social compromises and adjustments are impera- tive, or when processes of government need to be made of maximum effectiveness, we have no sufficient number of competent minds to meet our needs. There are but few whose experience has given them any contemplation of life in its fullness or whose contacts with life have been broad enough to qualify them for undertaking these responsibilities. The most ardent defender of democracy cannot leny that President Hopkins made a valid point, ind that the difficulty our Nation is encountering n its struggle to refashion its economic life to meet 1ew conditions is in some measure due to this lack »f leaders who are philosophers, and not simply »ankers or business men or lawyers or adminis- rators. Technicians have done much for us. But they :annot take the place of statesmen, whose task is 0 integrate the many elements of our society and sonsolidate the gains that technicians have made. Depreciated Money Suggests Tariff. (Seattle Times.) The request of the President that the Tariff Commission investigate many schedules to ascertain vhat industries are suffering “in the face of de- sreciated foreign currency” opens up a big subject. Among the manufacturers seeking higher schedules m this ground are the salmon people of this State ind Alaska. At the last session, they asked Con- ress for higher duties to balance depreciated loreign currencies in competing countries and did 10t get what they requested. The commission should e in position to supplement their showing of facts yy the opening of the next sesslon in December. The investigation is neither sectional nor partisan n its broader aspects. The situation of the Wash-! ngton and Alaska salmon canning industry is par- uleled by that of the vacuum lamp makers in New 7ork, where the big Buffalo factory of General lectric recently was closed down because its execu- ives aserted their inability to compete with foreign roducers enjoying the double benefit of low wages wnd depreciated currency. Ketchikan Wants Assay Office. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Men interested in mining are convinced that here is great mineral wealth in tHis district. Un- |uestionably, over a period of years much valuable nineral has been brought to Ketchikan, and there s no reason to doubt but that as time goes on the /alue will increase. To that end, the movement nitiated by the Pioneers of Alaska to get a Govern- nent assay office here is one worthy of support. That organization has named Dr. G. E. Dickin- ion, C. N. McBurney, D. N. Campbell, Nels Ulander mnd Fred Moeser to study the subject and seek o get a Government assayer here permanently. The {etchikan Chamber of Commerce has peldged the ssistance of its mining committee. Those most directly concerned should present heir demands to thes: committees in order that hey might, in turn, present the unified demands f the community to the proper authorities.
