ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION CONSTRUCTION OF “HOME” ASSURED. While the Pioneers' Home Building Commission, which has just opened tenders for the construction a new Home at Si has not yet made its the total of bi for all of work is iin the ds available and assures that project cap be carried out as planned. The total 1 low bids is unofficially put at slightly less $200,000. There is $225,000 availa for the work. The Chairman of the Board, William A. Hesse, expressed for himself and associates the gratification they naturally feel at being able to carry out so y the task entrusted to them by the Alaska ature. All Alaskans will entertain the same| sentiment over the that there is no longer any doubt about the Territory’s ability to provide comfortable and safe quart for its aged men who are no longer in position to support themselves and have none The sus- fill a to whom new Home, they can turn for as planned, will Wisely, the Legislature everal years ing the urer to set aside certain surplys in the treasury over and above the sum then regarded as a desirable balance for other governmental uses. From time to time this was done and the principal and interest together com- pose the Home Building Fund. This was, of course, the only method that could have been used to accumulate the fund since the Territory is forbidden to incur debt or issue securities by the terms of its Organic Act The fruit of that on of the Legislature will be seen within a year or so when there will stand at Sitka a modern institution, possessing every convenience needed for the comfort and well-being of its residents. It will be a fireproof structure of beautiful design located in a place of almost unparalleled natural beauty. { the same time the Commission was opening bids for construction, it was announced from Washington that President Roosevelt had signed the bill transferring to the Territory title to the ground on which the Home will stand. That clears the way for construction as it removes any ground for technical obstruction. NOT THE BONUS BILL. In some quarters the impression prevails that the measure just passed by Congress over President Roosevelt's veto carried a provision for payment of the veterans' bonus. That is a mistake. It was the Independent Offices Appropriations measure. The objectionable featuresyof the bill, as clearly set forth in the Associated Press report in Thursday's edition of The Empire are: Restoration of certain privileges to disabled war veterans regardless of whether their disabilities were war-conncted, and without review of them to determine if they were; and restoration of five per cent of salaries paid to Tederal embloyees back-dated to February 1, and another five per cent on July 1, next.

Tonight, Saturday and Sunday evening brings to | close the annual registration for the municipal election. Next Tuesday those who have registered will go to the polls and choose by their ballots a a Mayor, three members of the City Council and a School Director. Those who have not registered when the City Clerk closes his books at 9 p.m. tomorrow, no matter how long they have resided | here, nor how much property they own, or how well qualified they may be otherwise, they can have no say in the choice On the question of the $100,000 bond issue rori public works, only those who were property owners |as shown by the latest assessment roll of the city, | can vote on this. | It is highly important that all who are qualirwd] | should register. Even if there were no competition for office, just as a matter of civic pride we ought to make the total as large as possible. But there is competition. Seven candidates seek the three Coun- cilmanic vacancies. Two seek the Mayoralty. This provides all the more reason for. registration in | full force. No one who has the interests of the | community at heart will neglect to do so.

Just Pure Nonsense. | (Cincinnati Enquirer.) | | Miss Jessie Gugy, President of the National |Educational Association, complains that the teach- lers of America have failed in interpreting to the| public their great system of public education. It lsi not a nice thing to say about a lady, but Miss| Gray is talking pure nonsense. If she would look about her she would see that nothing in America |has expanded in the past 20 years as has the system | of public schools, In every small town there is a |palace for a scheol, and in.the townships an ex-| tensive—and expensive Township School to which children are brought from 'a distance in school busses. In' Cincinnati the schools are. Exhibit No. 1 of progress. And teaching curriculums have fattened ‘along with this ' tremendous school-building pro-| gram. The trouble with Miss Gray—and so many ‘educators”—is that she has a dream of infinite expansion, of the timé when the schools will have practically all the tax money. |no idea ‘of proportion. Here we are in a season of severe contraction Everyone is obliged to curtail. No one wishes to {see the schools harmed. That education is the |corner stone of the republic goes without question. But that the schools can keep on demanding more and more is not reasonable. They must be main- tained. Their present high standard in the essen- tials of education must not be lowered. All agree to these things. There is no warrant whatever to speak of the i(mlure of the public to understand or to appreciate the public schools, nor of the teachers to ‘sell”. the system to the public. Teachers are ordinarily supposed to teach, and are doing a good job of it.| It is not their function to spread propaganda among adults. That can be reserved for the pro- | fessional “educators,” who largely live off the teach- Some people have ers. And they are not now having an easy time of selling their particular extravagant kind * of | | education. A Paris item announces that the feminine waist will be growing slimmer and slinmer, but don't | worry, fellows. There’ll probably always be enough | to go around.—(Boston Herald.)
