The announcement that the Alaska Juneau will next Spring resume development work in the Taku Di: this time on the Whitewater group, a gold serty, is reassuring. The Alaska Juneau man- ement is familiar with the showings in the Taku country and prepared from experience to operate in| that section. The fact that it has taken another option in the country is decidedly encouraging. is a fortunate thing for Juneau.and this ory that the Alaska Juneau js always ready undertake to prospect and develop new mineral properties, and that it has the organization and capital with which to prospect, develop and operate hem if indications are favorable. Gaestineau Channel people sincerely hope that r Taku enterprise will develop into a large ofitable mine. W NOME ADVICE TO ALASKA DEMOCRATS. Declaring that the overwhelming Democratic vic- | tory in Alaska was a good thing for the people of the North the Nome Nugget urges Democrats to stand together, to avoid factional fighting and to follow and support the organization. It said that only in this way can the mistakes of sthe Republican Party of the last few years be avoided. In an editorial, entitled “A Political Lesson,” the Nu;-ggel said: worthy unds that spoils by scheming ka and Alaskans can well be proud Democrats made such a sweeping hroughout the Territory. During past several years each election engen- dered animosity especiflly among the rank and file of the Republican politicians, which spread to the citizens and voters. It is not necessary to go back only to the recent election and see the fighting and racket- eering existing between the Paul faction, the Cole, Rustgard and Wickersham factions, all Republicans, destroying their party and one another on the altar of politics, for what?—a political job. This election has done away with these factions in one big sweep, by the Democratic landslide throughout Alaska, and the people of Alaska can congratulate themselves that it has come to pass, a new deal will henceforth be forthcoming. The citizen and resident who has been torn asunder by this factionalism may now get together and shake hands and be friends and neighborly, instead of political enemies. It is to be hoped that the Democrsts will profit by the factional fighting of the Re- publicans and work shoulder to shoulder for the best interests of Alaska and the people of this vast store-house of wealth. If you are a party man look to your or- ganization heads to guide you in matters political, in this way only, can an organiza- tion be kept together. Remember many a good man has lost out because he thought he was bigger than the organization, and many a position has been surrendered for the good of the party. Already numerous names have been men- tioned for positions to be filled and it is certain there will be many more appli- cants for jobs than there is positions to be filled. Some will be successful, some will be dissatisfied, that goes without say- ing, but to those who are unsuccessful it is not necessary that they immediately bolt the organization, but should await their chance when another opening takes place. all The cold wave in Southeast Alaska seems to prevail generally in Canada and the States north |of California. Canadian papers complain that while on all letters mailed to Canada from London there is stamped the words “Buy British” the little machine with which the stamping is done is labeled “Made in U. 8. A" A Merited Honor. (Manchester Guardian.) The award of this year's Nobel Prize for Litera- ture to Mr. John Galsworthy sets the seal of inter- natiolal recognition on the work of one of the | most distinguished writers of our time. Mr. Gals- worthy, like one of his characters, is “old English,” even “mere English,” if ever anyone was, though, The Democratic landslide in the elections as this award has' reeognized, he is also something held in the United States and Alaska last Tuesday were a surprise to nearly every- body except a scattered few. It is an easy matter after election for many to say “I told you s0” but nevertheless the tre- mendous victory such as it was, was not even contemplated by the best of political philosophers. However, a change in administration was to be expected, by the clear thinking and those who were not following the election for a job or for the purpose of making bets, but by the mass of the people who daily, are confronted with obtaining their daily wages and something to eat fof their loved ones. These are the voters who caused the change of administration from Republi- can to Democratic. The result of the election in the States as well as in Alaska, we believe, was for the best interest of the people, however, time alone will be the best judge. That the peo- ple were sick and tired of political scan- dals consisting of Government loot, graft- ing and racketeering of every kind, in- cluding Prohibition from the Harding Ad- ministration down, there is little doubt. Is it any wonder then that Republicans and independents joined together to make a clean sweep of the present Administration | filigree work. more. There have been interpreters with a wider and more humorous appreciation of the English scene, interested and knowledgeable in more popu- lar, noisier, and perhaps more vulgar corners of that seene. But no one since Thackeray has por- trayed with a more sympathetic fidelity one great section of English society. Mr. Galsworthy's world is not a large world, it is not perhaps even the most interesting or the most important world, but at least he has held up to it a mirror which is both beautiful and true. These men and women of his, secure in the agreeable certitudes of com- fortable lives, may appeal as little to all tastes as the lives they lead. But transmuted into art they have the exquisite charm of any other delicate And it would be unfair to say of Mr. Galsworthy, as somebody has said of Thackeray, that he looks on all life from a club window of St. James's. There is the other Mr. Galsworthy, |the champion of the “underdog” and the oppressed, the. passionate hater of creutly anywhere, whether to man or to beast.

While he was decid- ng how to tackle her the perched r/greenness of Central Park grew up. A few minutes later the taxi was halting. As they gazed across the thresh- 1d of their apartment he recalled how his parting wish had been that it and all that it contained might burn during their absence. Hand-in-hand they made a tour of inspection. Save for dust that had gathered, everything was pre- cisely as they had left it. With- out warning, Santa swung round and hugged him. “It’s, good to be home.” He recognized the familiar in- tonation; she was expeeting him to be gratefyl. That had been all right once.

The liner which had heen so swift and competent, slowed down to a crawl.
