THE NATION’S BIRTHDAY. Tomorrow the United States commemorates the one hundred and fifty-seventh anniversary of its birth. Looking backward over the history of the intervening years it is plain that there have been few occasions upon which we were able to celebrate it with more elation, more gratification, and more confidence that the Democracy then founded in the wilder- ness of a new world on ideals, while age-old them- selves had not before been incorporated into living law, is-lasting, virile and capable of with- standing the most severe tests that can be applied. In the last three months, after more than three years of the severest sort of national stress that tried the souls of the nation’s citizens, Democracy has proved its ability to function, its right to live because it is not afraid to seek the solution of its problems in new methods, to find happiness, con- tentment and prosperity for its members in orderly fashiion. While other forms of organized society have been content to mark time, to wait for natural forces to cure their ecoromic ills, the Nation has been willing to go forward to new experiments, risking error in some things, in order that the conditions that have oppressed so many of its people may be banished. ’ This is the spirit in which American Democracy was born. It, too, was an experiment which philoso- phers of the Old World said had no chance to succeed. We know now that they were wrong and those men who carved out the Republic from the wilds of the western frontier were right. We know now that the spirit that gave birth to the Re- public, that made its almost unparalleled growth possible, has not dimmed. We know now that we are still masters of our destiny; that we still have the leadership that can direct our national effort in the successful working out of our greatest prob- lems; and that as a people we still possess the spirit of following and supporting that leadership with the same loyalty that made the work of the b founding fathers real and lasting. JUNEAU WELCOMES LOS ANGELES PARTY. { The Good Will Tour Party of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the fourth annual trip of that kind it has sponsored, are indeed welcome visitors to Alaska's Capital City today. It is a genuine pleasure for this community to be host to these visitors from the Southland and to greet them on this annual event which it is to be hoped will not be permitted to die out.

I do not think we have to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea, the ying pan and the fire, or between wo systems which in relation to our own actual life are equally imaginary and equally unrealizable, It seems to me clear that mere laissez-faire, mere co-ordination through ‘“the markets” no longer exists. It is clear also that in so far as laissez-faire has broken- down or been made impossible, de- liberate direction has to be in- troduced. But it does not follow that the direction has to be cen- tralized in Washlington and that it has to be all-embracing. Where and when direction and manage- ment are necessary, how can they be organized, how far they must be carried, how made responsible, how kept informed and flexible— these are the problems which we shall be dealing with all the rest of our lives. Obviously measurss like the farm and the industrial bills are at best only rough and tentative experiments in dealing with some phases of a vast prob- lem that no one as yet under- stands. There are, I know, some who object to the idea of experimenting with the solution of great problems. But their complaint on this score should be addressed to the uni- verse to which man belongs, which has, and always has been, the un- fortunate character of confronting men with problems and of not be- *|ing finished, perfect, or stable. PR But having complainea about what seems to me the false dilem- ma in Dr. Anderson’s reasoning, I must come back to what is the true wisdom of his argument. He is. aware of the limitations of the human mind and of human energy, ‘|land nobody thinks effectively on public affairs who forgets these limitations. They are decisive in any program of human action, Whether it be the administration of measures like those to which the esident is committed, or the pop- ular government of a great city like New York, or the conduct of e League of Nations or even, I suppose, the direction of an enor- mously large bank. We must re- member not'to put too great strain lupon the government, and not to fput too many questions to the vot- ers, and not to crowd Congress with too many proposals, and by the same token not to put too great a strain upon the minds of bankers and financiers by con- centrating too much power and re- sponsibility in their hands. ‘We have to remember these limi- tations of human nature.

Bunting and flags had been put up on all of the principal streets by the decoration committee for the Fourth of July celebration and with most proprietors of the busi- ness 'houses decorating their win- dows with patriotic insignia, the town began to look festive. Out of | town people were arriving and the hotels were already crowded wn.h guests. W. H. Case received a letter from James Morris, notad English big game hunter, saying that he and his wife, also an enthusiastic big game hunter and excellent shot, had already procured two big brown bear and were enjoying their trip immensely. Harry Mclver opened his Racket Store at the corner of Second and & Seward, specializing in articles to sell for 5, 10 and 15 cents. He open- ed with a display of Fourth of July goods that made the store a headquarters for young Juneau- ites. Conversation concerning the |Fourth of July baseball games be- tween Juneau and the Douglas- Treadwell aggregation was heard in every spot where men congre- gated. Juneau was & seething fur- nace of anxiety over the approach- ing contest and everyone with a drop of red blood was anxious to wager something on the outcome of the two games. The Juneau team hoped to make a recovery and were conscientiously practicing under the tutelage of Father Tom Kelly. Bill Reck and Trevor Davis were getting their speed boats ready for the glorious Fourth and said they would race whether the com- mittee put up a prize or not. Har- vey Fremming had been practicing dexterous stunts for several days and announced that the greased pig was his, or would be a few moments after it was turned loose. Earle Jameson was practicing some real athletic stunts for the Fourth and said he would enter the con- tests that had lucrative looking purses, Victor Leak was drilling the Honorables every day and looking with a longing eye at the $25 purse to divide with his team mates. Cap- tain Jorgensen of the Infants, was just as earnestly chasing the kids of his team around the town lots in practice for the same purpose. Everyone in town, particularly youngsters and baseball fans, were hoping for clear weather on the next day and all set to celebrate. Iver St. Claire and Harry Ray- mond said they had been neglected by the sports committee, but that it was not too late to make amends. “There has always been a fat man’s race and it will be a great disappointment to many if this event is not scheduled, besides it isn’t fair to Mr. Raymond and my- self after all of the training we have gone through. ———— SUNDAY FISHING PARTIES Kings, cohoes, “humples,” and sea bass were included in the catch of fishing party Sunday in- cluding Dr. W.
