Delegate-Elect Dimond’s brief talk to the Ch:xm-i ber of Commerce yesterday was impressive for two things—the stark sincerity of the promise to work in harmony and in spirit with Alaskans and the very real seeking to know just what are the needs | and wants of the community. It showed that he has/| a wider knowledge of the Territory generally as a result of his extended tour over it, a tour which | he is making at his own expense and not on a mileage allowance from the Federal Government An ordinary, run-of-mine politician elected to| office by such an overwhelming popular majority as that given Mr. Dimond at the polls last November would never have considered making the trip. He would have felt it not only unnecessary but also " peyond all reason because of the personal cost in- volved. In making it in the manner he has, in going directly back to the people to get acquainted with them and their problems before going to the Na- tional capital, he has again demonstrated that he is of the highest type of public servant, and has measured up to the claims made for him by those who supported his candidacy for his party’s nom- ination last Spring and worked for his election in the Fall campaign. | Delegate-Elect ‘Dimond faces a difficult task. His| two i of office in Washington as Alaska’s rep- resentat vill be even more trying than were the While the in 1917-18 war S country was, bending all its efforts toward winning the war, it} WAas prosperous. Its labor was employed at high wages in industries boomed by the demands of our own and the -allied countries. Today, millions of men and women suffer because they can get no work. Col s faces a complexity of problems that will brook no further delay in solving. There is al demand for Government approp: ions to relieve insistent de- | the sake of | »f the 73rd cccupied with unemployment distress and an equ mand for curtailed expenditures balancing the National budget. The tir Congress " is going to be so largely national problems that it will have little left to devote to le ation peculiarly Alaskan. In order to accomplish anything of benefit for the Terri- tory, Delegate Dimond will require undivided support at home. The hard-pressed Congress will certainly refuse to spend its hours listening to domestic squab- bling over controversial matters, Probably Mr. Di- mond realizes this fully. In making his extended tour of the Territory before assuming office, he has taken the sal means of obtaining widespread sup- port and avoiding purely domestic friction, most of which usually arises from political sources. He deserves and is entitled to local support regardless of partisan politics, and we hope that it is given to him freely and generously. WELCOME TO TRUITTS. Attorney General-Elect James 8. Truitt, Mrs. Truitt, their daughter, Mrs. Vella Moehring, and her son, J. Truitt Moehring, this week became mem- bers of Juneau's official family. Beginning March 1, next, Mr. Truitt will serve the people of Alaska as Territorial Attorney General for a four-year term. At he told an Empire reporter, he is not here to serve any special interests but the people of the Territory generally. Experienced in the legal profession in which he is highly ranked, possessing a sound legal education, and seasoned in Alaskan customs and traditions by his long residence here, it goes without saying that he will perform his services ably and to general satisfaction. On behalf of the community, the Chamber of Commerce Thursday extended a cordial welcome to Mr. Truitt and through him to the members of his personal family. This is a neighborly, friendly community, as the Truitts will soon find. It is delighted to receive them as residents and hopes they will find their lives here to have fallen in ‘pleasant and agreeable lines. FIREMEN'S ANNUAL BALL. On February 11, the Volunteer Fire Department ©f Juneau will give its customary annual dance This organization needs no words of praise in this| “eommunity. During the 35 years of its existence,| through the various stages of its development from | a bucket brigade to the present uptodate motorized | unit, it has deservedly held a high reputation for| efficiency in fighting fires. No better proof of its _effectiveness can be offered than the noteworthy fact that the community has never had a single conflagration since it came into being. And it is - ¥ unique in that respect. Probably no town, similarly ‘splendid baseball park that is the home of the highly Prof. Picard, explorer of the stratosphere, tells us that some day New York will be lighted up with three drops of water. What New York wants just now is to be all lit up—but not on water. A Borrowed Myth. (New York Times.) If Mr. Jouett Shouse and his ghost-writers of the Democratic National Committee had all been in Tierra del Fuego, a lot of boredom would have been spared to these United States in 1932 and the results of the Presidential election would have been exactly what they were. But their work had a strong moral| effect on the Republicans, who continue to gape at and admire it. They still want to imitate it. If Chairman Sanders can be chucked out, “new blood,” some powerful young intellect, put in his place, a |research bureau and an active press-agent got going, the grand old party will be a grand young party, |come out of the ditch and the dumps and go forward conquering and to conquer. Evidently what the Republican Party needed in 1928 was an improved mechanics of management, publicity and yawp. Now it needs a new National Chairman. Get a “progressive” lad for Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, Represen- tative Wood being about to retire into the lame duckery. “Reorganization” is the more than blessed Mesopotamian word. Strengthen the party by mak- ing sharper the division between Hooverites and anti-Hooverites. Set the ghost-writers to daubing the newspapers with opinions attributed to this or that Stuffed Shirt. Yet silence and slow time might be better remedies for the Republican break- down. Republican good behavior—if there is any| way of assuring it—in the next Congress, and the | expected bad behavior of the always wicked Demo- crats, might be safer to depend. on. The Ele- phant puts his foot in it. Brer Fox, he lays low. Round the heads of John Raskob, Jouett Shouse and Charley Michelson hang halos that make the brightest sunset look pale. They have made any number of Republicans believe in ghosts. Things Aesthetic. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) A people as industrious as ants could not build a Parthenon. The edifice crowning the Acropolis at Athens has been the envy of architects for more than two thousand years. It is a monument to leisure—and the art and culture that constructive leisure brings. Nothing approaching it in pure beau- ty has been given the world by industrious races that have since risen and fallen, working like bees and speeding up the process of living to a point where the most utilitarian accomplishments were reckoned as of value. ‘What has America given the world in original art, music or outstanding culture? We have been so busy making our living, working long hours, over- coming obstacles and striving for our place in the sun that leisure has become synonomous with lazi- ness. America has contributed much to the world's advancement—probably more than any other nation —but practicability has been our goal. We naturally would rather live in our comfortable homes and enjoy the fruits of the greatest inventive genius the world has ever known, than to gaze at a Parthenon of white marble, as did the Athenians in the age of Pericles. Will the future bring us leisure that will mean American contributions to art, music and literature that will live throughout all time? There is apparently no fundamental reason why our people should "not contribute more to the aesthetic in life. One might call attention to the fact that now is a peculiar time to talk about aesthetics, since we are so badly ensnarled with the practical problems of living, but out of it will come more leisure, and that leisure may be a blessing if we are able to use it and profit thereby. Our Grandfathers. (New York World-Telegram.) “People are complaining about the loss of things which their grandfathers never had,” is a saying which is' going the rounds. It is a good answer to querulousness and coward- ice, but it is not an answer to the economic ques- tion. We should be responsible for a tragic failure to conserve humanity’s achievements if we were content to go back to our grandfathers’ standard of living. It is our duty as well as our right to make wide- spread luxury practicable. ‘We will not be better off if we go back to grand- father’s horse and his bowl and water pitcher. We will be better off it we have grandfather’s courage to pioneer. Our pioneering must be in distribution, as grand- father’s pioneering was in production. Our courage must be great enough to face the fact that there cannot be a better distribution of |goods without a better distribution of wealth. “Watch that alcoholic content, Tony,” says the SYNOPSIS: Farrell Armi- tage has agreed to launch Mark Lodely as an artist and to se- cure medical aid to cure his crippled body in return for the promise of Barbara Quen- tin, Mark’s fiance, that she will not marry Mark for a year. Mark, cruel and calcu- lating, arranges to faint just as he arrives at Farrel's Lon- don house in Farrell’s car. It is the eccentric actress, Patsy Raoul, who exposes Mark by blewing smoke in his face. Mark sneezes. CHAPTER 22.

There is an elevator.” “Most of the way,” put in Far- rell. He was beginning to feel slightly uncomfortable about the elevator. He looked at Mark but Mark had become absorbed in his tormentor. “You make the most extraordin- ary impression on me’ he was telling her. “Oh, of course, T've heard of you, and seen photographs but I never imagined you were really like this.

Thomas, the footman, shot forward and op- ened it and at the same moment Gaffen, who had been steadily uging Mrs. Lodely in the direction of the elevator, got her into it and sped with her to an upper story. The sudden blessed silence hummed in Armitage's ears. He surveyed Mark over the deserted battle-field. “Have a drink?” he invited Mark had collapsed once: more upon the couch and, flat on his back, began to chuckle. “So that's Patsy Raoul!

It was a bill of John T. Spickett, agent for the lCanadian Pacific Railway and steamship comp |ies planned to move his office within a few days to the new Goldstein Building next to the Daily Empire office. The management of the concert- recital to take place at the Odd Fellows Hall announced that Monte Snow had been added to those on the program. Others on the program were: Mrs. G. V. Davis, E. E. McIntyre, and Harry Fisher. Sidney Smith, consulting engin- eer, and L. C. Cherry, cashier of the Alguncion Development com- pany at Jualin, were in town from the mine and said that work was progressing rapidly. They were working about 40 men. F. J. Jerome, a Petersburg ho- te} man, planned to fly over and about that town in a monoplane, according to word réeceived in Ju- neau. Mr. Jerome was on the staff of Robert Latham. Dr. J. K. Simpson of Juneau was a Douglas visitor. The Rev. J. Van der Pol, S.J, left on the Mariposa after a two weeks’ visit with the Rev.J.Burck- ert, 8.J, at Douglas. Father van der Pol was formerly in charge of the church at Douglas. ' Mrs. Gravrock of Douglas was cperated on at St. Ann’s Hospital v Dr. L. O. Sloane. | The famous actress Sarah Bern- hardt, desirious of making a tour of Al- aska, the only country she had not visited, said she was delighted when she was informed that Ju- neau, Ketchikan and Prince Ru- pert, B. C. had all made bids for her appearance in those towns. She said she hoped to fill a ser-| ies of engagements in Alaska when | she closed her engigement in San Francisco. T. W. Gaffney and Frank A. Aldrich, representatives-elect from the Second Division, who were members of the Nome Miner's Union, were banqueted by organ- ized labor the night before they left for Juneau. Judge J. R. Winn was a Juneau arrival on the steamer Mariposa, from a visit to the States. { is always disheartening to one. You may remembah—" “I want one of the downstair bedrooms copied exactly.

The style is—?” “There isn't one. you've got to copy.” Armitage cut off and tried an- other number; the firm that had installed the elevator. Again, he managed to get immediate touch with the principals. “I want your opinion at once,” he said, “on the possibility of carrying my elevator up another floor. . . . Yes, to the top of the house. . . . Yes, I realize tha¥, but the expense has become a second- ary consideration. ... Yes, Thank you.” |' Then he went down in search of Mrs. Lodely.
