SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASIZNAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ADMINISTR.\TI IS ENDORSED. | The voters of Juneau, in unprecedernied number,| yesterday gave their endorsement to Mayor 1. Gold- stein and the City Council which has conducted the business of the community for the past year. It/ wids a decisive endorsement. The Mayor and his entire ticket were re-elected for another term. They | carried each of the three precincts by handsome majorities which can leave no doubt in the minds of any hut a majority of the people of Juneau are 1ec. with the conduct of local government du the past 12*months and desire that cor ed g the same general lines during the next year. * With their votes they said that Mayor Goldstein and Councilmen Ralph Beistline, Wallis S. George and Henry Messerschmidt have earned another term. The program which the Mayor and his associatesi on the Economy Ticket, as detailed in the several advertisements issued by them during the campaign, was likewise endorsed by the voters. The Admin- istration has been given a mandate to go ahead. It should have no hesitation in carrying it out. The record made by the Goldstein Administra- tion during the past year is an excellent one. That its excellence is greatly recognized is attested to by the vote in each precinct. And it is no discredit to the Progressive Ticket that it was not able to wrest victory under the circumstances. Mr. Judson and his running mates polled a vote that a few years ago would have insured them of election. It is a testimonial to their personal strength, their | popularity and their standing in the community. The Empire said before the election what ticket should berelected, the goyernment; of the city would be in good hands. The Judson ticket lost. government remains in hands just as good and equally as strong. John E. Green, Independent candidate for Coun- cilman, demonstrated unusual strength by pollmg 453 votes. Practically all of the .spoiled ballots resulted from voters marking for one or the other straight tickets then putting a cross before his name. Of course, where four Councilmen were | voted for that vote as to them could not be counted. Mr. Green lost a number of votes in that manner, but had he received them all he still would have lacked many of having enough to win. The bond issue, which was outspokenly advocated by the Economy Ticket, carried. Its majority was large enough to prove that the community is over- whelmingly in favor of going ahead with the civic improvements advocated by Mayor Goldstein and his Council. As soon as Congress passes the measure introduced by Delegate Dimond, the City should make every effort to get the funds from the Federal Government and launch its betterment program. The voters likewise gave the Administration a free hand in its dealings with the water company. If, in its judgment, that company does not make every provision, within a reasonable time, to comply with the terms of its franchise the Council has a mandate to use its own judgment in what steps it shall take to bring about full compliance. On the whole, the election was a sweeping ondorsement of every position taken by Mayor Goldstein and the City Council. They could have asked for no finer tribute. It was, however, not more than was deserved. Although he was unopposed for School Director, Grover C. Winn, who has served 17 years in that capacity, received the handsome vote of 724. This is a distinct tribute to him for the unselfish service he has rendered to the community on: the School Board for so many years. The vote polled, 1465, is the largest .ever polled in any municipal election. It is the largest of any election except the general election of 1932, and on that occasion it was augmented by the fact that it was national election year which always draws who ordinarily do not go to the polis. its registration ¢ also out voters Juneau has a right to feel proud of nd the vote it cast this year. JUST PLAIN IGNORANCE. Recently Ketchikan applied to Gov. Troy, as Territorial Public Works Administrator, for $55,000 for projects in that city. In response to the ap- plication the Governor wrote that there were “no PWA funds in Juneau or in Washington,” and added that unless additional funds were made _ available it was not possible to approve the Ket- chikan request. When the Governor's reply was read at a meet- ing of the Ketchikan City Council, Harry G. Mc- "YOILB. member of that body, remarked that he regarded the message as one of a “stock of letters in Juneau expressly for Ketchikan,” according Mr. McCain has the of being an able lawyer and a good of the Ketchikan City Council. He is also id to be a good politician. Possibly he spoke as , politician, since at this time he is a candidate Republican ticket for nomination to the House of Representatives and possibly be- it may, heduphyod'n.n abysmal that is astonishing in one who is as {the jof dead ships drawn to that region of the Atlantic it bels |hermits for And the |gasso, made of sea weeds, perhaps bred and raised ysnatch success from failure. intelligent as he is reputed to be. On February 10, last, an Associated Press dispatch from Wash-| ington, appearing in Alaska newspapers, including the daily paper at Ketchikan, quoted Secretary Ickes. Public Works Administrator, as saying that there were $3,500,000,000 worth of projects on file with the PWA for which no allotments had been made and for which no money was available because of the exhaustion of the original $3,200,000,000 Public Words funds. A short time after that announce- |ment was made, Gov. Troy made public a circular on the same subject which emphasizes that no more PWA projects could be approved until Congress made another appropriation. It is possible, of course, that Mr. McCain does not read newspapers, his home town paper included However, even plain ignorance does mnot justify; the statement he made. It was clearly mallcious, unwarranted, and uncalled for in light of the co- operation that Gov. Troy has given the municipal administration not only of Ketchikan but of every community in the Territory elections are out of their attention to in three Now that the municipal the way, politicians can turn the party primary elections which occur weeks. Sam Insull has found that the new Turks are less amenable to his kind of reasoning than were Greeks. Apparently the Turks have a word of their own for it Two-Fisted Fish in the Sargasso. (New York Herald-Tribune.) The rule that for every mystery the scientists dispel they plant two new ones in its place, fits the report of the Atlantis, Woods Hole exploring vessel, which brought back last week its crew of oceanographers and biologists from explorations of the Sargasso Sea. No antiquarian of fiction seems to have traced the origin of the long-accepted tale into a floating graveyard of derelicts. However it began, this was disproved nearly a quarter-century ago by criss-cross voyages of the Michael Sars. ‘What the Atlantis now reports is quite the reverse of a graveyard. On the contrary, the Sargasso seems to be a spot where at least one kind of life is doing something both original and new. Not for a long time have the naturalists reported a tale more indicative that there is vigor in the old| world yet than the saga of the Sargasso’s two- fisted fish. “Nature red in tooth and claw” is not always 80 cruel. The Sargasso Sea seems to be one of those refuges which nature's kindlier moods provide for evolutionary failures. Another of these is the high mountains, where plants and animals worsted in the competition of easier climes have found a chance to cling precariously to life. Still another is the caves, where a few ancient shrimps and other creatures, once surface dwellers, have re- treated similarly from competition. Along the fringes of the Arctic ice and in the summer pools of the Antarctic live other plant, insect and animalcule whom the wider world has been too much. Greatest of all such refuges for failures is probably the deep sea, where the little that we know from dredgings suggests a population of antique star fish, sea lilies and other creatures whose like has not been seen in surface seas for more than a hundred million years. Just such an |atea seems to be the “floating shore” of the Sar- | there, perhaps drifted from the shores of the con- tinents, but anyway the home of hundreds of creatures, large and small, most of which seem to thave retired there because zll other homes were too fiercely contested. Th Sargasso fish is proof, however, that in na- ture as in human affairs it may be possible to Amid the floating weeds of the Sargasso live these remarkable little creatures, living examples of which the Atlantis brought back. Their fins have been modified into veritable hands, with which they seize and cling to fronds of floating weed. Ages ago other fish changed their fins to feet to walk on land as they were learning to breathe the air. From them sprang all backboned land animals, including man. The fisted fish of the Sargasso may not go so far, but their hands at least are proof that evolution need not stop because one’s home is not the best the world affords. A Question of Newspaper Ethics. (New York Times.) Because The Louisville Courier-Journal had pub- lished an article reflecting on the Kentucky Leg- islature, the editor was summoned by a committee of the sensitive Assembly, which demanded that he give up the name of the author. This he refused to do. He held that it would be, in the first place, a violation of confidence, and, besides, would be against a fundamental principle of journalism. Thereupon the investigating committee proposed that he be fined only a small sum, $25, out of “defer- ence to his scruples.” In the debate there was‘ protest against punishing a man for “not vfiolatlng' his newspaper ethics.” On the other hand, it was | asserted that he had transgressed the rules of the | Assembly, though how that enters into the case it is hard to see. One Representative, himself a news- | paper man, asserted that “not a single newspaper man in Kentucky” would have taken a position | different from that of the editor of The Courier- Journal. The case is one not so much of the freedom of the press as of its integrity and responsibility. If an article is published which is libelous or | obscene, the courts may deal with it is due course | under the law. But a great deal of information comes to a newspaper under the seal of confidence. This must not be broken. Trusted correspondents need not sign their names if they wish not to have their identity known. The public interest does not, in such cases, center upon an individual writer or source of information, but upon the general reputa- tion and character of the newspaper itself. This is the ground upon which Mr, Armentrout stood, ! and from it no conscientious editor would allow himself to be driven by threat or fine. ~ The reason why men are different from bees is that the bees don't make up their minds to| save honey after the blossoms are gone.—(Dallas | |News.)

Judith Lane by JEANNE BOWMAN Norman Dale has invited Tom Beving' widow and daughter, M ithile, with Morton Lampere, teir aitorney, to his home to' dscuss the Bevins will tangle. No man's wife. Judith, has been left ihe Bevins fortune’ and instructions to carry out Bevins' plan for a dam on the Rio Diablo. Lamprre. although Norman's law part.er and former attorney for Bevins, wishes to break the will and build the dam for his own benefit, Judith refuses to see the visitors, and goes to bed to think over the tangle. BYNOPSIS: Chapter 20 THE RIFT IG TOM was projecting himself from the other side of death into Judith’s thought, by ecleverly pre- conceived communications. To Norman, Morton Lampere, his partner, his father's partner before him, was a person to be admired, al most revered. His word would weigh more than that of a young girl. Lam- pere was a friend of a lifetime, and Norman had known her a compara- tively short time. Perhaps Norman was right, and she with her self assurance was wrong. Perhaps Lampere was right! She weighed this thought as she lcoked out on the terrace where the lights which had blocked yellow ob longs on the greeusward were sud denly blotted out. She would discuss this with him and if he could prove her wrong she would gladly make any concession She prepared for bed, turned on the bed lamp to let him know she was awake, then waited. She heard Delphy's goodnight. tlen Lige’s, heard the kitchen door close and voices in the servants cottage. And then she heard Nor man coming up the steps. He stopped in his dressing room, then a few moments later went ”P” by the hall door, down the corridor ta the guest room. The door of the guest rooi: opened, the hall lights flashed off The door closed. Judith turned off the lamp, a hot pain cutting through her. What had happened to make Norman do such a thing? Mathile’s laughter echoed i her ears, but it was not her in fluence, more likely Lampere's. He was wise in the ways of women, he knew it would take firm determina tion to keep her from seeking Nor man, and in the end giving in to his wishes. She slipped from the bed and wen! tc an open window. A soft wind faint echo of the previous evening'’s gale, came in with the breath of sleeping fields. The servants' cot tage was a dark square topped with moon icing. The little stream was a trickle of quicksilver among the shale, w Judith looked . it and shuddered She felt as though there were tears in her heart which trickled along lik. quicksilver. All of her life she had wanted to | belong to someone. Her father, em balmed in grief a. her mother's pass ing. had been companiounable, but she had felt her love for him was more maternal than his was pa ternal. Big Tom, in his loneliness, had filled this need. But Norman . .. she knew if he were to come in, slip an arm under her pillow for a cushioned rest, and ! she were to awaken knowing he was there, her trust would be thrown to the winds for fear of nights to come when there would be no pro tecting arc of arm, And yet she knew if this hap- pened she would hate herself, and in time turn bitterly on Norman for causing her to disregard her own sense of what was right, ELPHY, round eyed, brought her orange jujce at the usual hour She surveyed the untouched pillow said nothing, but tucked Judith in with unnecessary thoroughness con sidering she was about to rise. Then, glass clinking on tray, she stalked | down the hall to the guest room. Judith chose her morning frock with a deliberate intent to charm She had one of yellow linen, em- broidered in marguerites, that Nor n.an hadn’t seen. She put this on, brushed her black hair until it shone like lacquer, erased the tell-tale signs of sleepless early hours with clever artifice, then went for a stroll it the garden. There were a few daffodils bloom ing. Judith studied their lancing heads, hesitated, then regretfully snipped the long stems. Back In the breakfast room she laid the table with green grass linen, a Bavarian breakfast set of ivory rimmd with field flowers. It was gay, that breakfast table The sun slanted in through open windows and warmed Judith, who stood thrusting the stems of the daffodils into an fvory frog. Upstairs, Norman was splashing around, slamming doors with early jmorn ing thoroughness. In the e VOTE OSCAR G. OLSON of Cordova, Candidate for Nomination Territorial kitchen Delphy was banging pans ware, and on the driveway Lige was irdustriously raking wind scraps into small heaps and burning them, the small pyramids sending up V00 incense in quivering syirals. Ju hummed as she worked. She a the newsboy throw a paper to the porch, ~alled to Lige that she would get it, and went out. Two morning newspapers lay there. She picked them up, unrolled them and smoothed them out, looking down towards the kighway. As she turned to go in she glanced down, and stopped short. aph, her best. In the was one of Mathile Bevins, Between them were heaped cketched bags of money. five million dollars printed thereon. Below was a picture of Norman. ined she read the caption: ghtful Heir to Bevins Money to Sue Millionaire Stenographer.” Her eyes rejected this for some- thing more surprising—“Lampere plays trump card. Firm of Dale, Lampere and Morrison to take up Bevins fight Husband may fight Wite in.Effort to Regain Money for Boyhood Sweetheart.” Judith stood on the veranda until she had completed the newspaper latest phe next column story. It was an interview given by Morton Lampere. ‘We nave tried to be lenfent with Mrs. Dale, because of her husband,’ following the id in the offices of the Construdtion Company, sbviously, the power which with such a sum of money zone to her head. “We anticipate no difficulty in breaking the will because we have olenty of evidence to prove that the used undue influence in ed gentleman—" ng the “Aged gentleman,” cried Judith aloud, “the idea of calling Tom Bev- ins-aged at sixty-two!” ‘to change his will during the ill- ness which took his life. y partners and | will exert every effort to see that justice Is done to the bereaved widow and young daughter.” The newspaper in fairness had given the same prominence to the story of the recrganization of the Fevins Construction Company. They used in their lead the fact that the three hundred workers at *he dam. due to her spirited refusal to com ply with a request for resignation, would not lose a day’s work, Judith felt heartened by this, but sofnehow everything save one line appeared to her to be written about someone other than herself. The lire that burned into her mind was: “Husband may fight wife to re. gain money for ‘ormer sweetheart.” \'D wonder, thought Judith, that ¥ Mathile Bevins had laughed that triumphant laugh meant, she now knew. for her ears. No wonder, Norman had been unable to face her She walked into the dining room —“Delphy,"she called, “remove my plate.”” This done, she folded the news- raper to that article and tipped it up against the bowl of daffodils that Norman ‘might see it when he sat dewn. She went then to the tele phone, called a cab, then went to her dressing room, locked tte doors and packed her bags. Norman met her at the door as she was leaving—"Judith,” ne pro- | tested, as he saw her bags. “You should thank me, Norman,” she returned, “" m simply making things easy for you, Lampere told us a wife could not appear against lier husband and that rule works | both ways.

When they were on the highway she gave Clia's ad. dress, Because she worked for a morn iug newspaper, Clia worked nights and so was still in bed when Judith arrived. She looked .up from the telephone she had wrangled to within arms reach of the bed, then spoke into the mouthpiece—"“here she comes with Reno in her eye.
