The Board has decided wisely its main object |to be to give people who want it goods liquors at the lowest possible prices; to encourage temperance | by fostering the trade in beer and wine and curb- ing public drinking of hard, or distilled, liquors. It can most effectively accomplish the latter end |by making them available to people at the hours they desire the lighter drinks, and leave it to the people themselves in each community to determine what they shall be.

They are timely, well Wwritten, | nicely illustrated and give an authentic and accurate with c picture of touring in Alaska. That it has been an effective campaign is indicated by the statement | of L. W. Baker, General Traffic Manager, in a| letter to the local Chamber of Commerce, that| responses have been several times as numerous as ar on record. Both Alaska and the steam- | ship company will reap substantial benefit from | the campaign. to dig up a few of those passed by Congress for |the President to veto? A British woman surgeon advises girls to be- ware of falling in love with men with flat heads. Better flat heads than fat heads, say we. Enforce the Codes. (New York World-Telegram.) The United States Government apparently is not fooling when it says industry must put more men and women to work, pay them better wages and let them organize and bargain freely. The President’s new executive order is evidence of this, It brings into play th most powerful weapon the Government has at its disposal, for if the Government refuses to buy from firms which do not certify compliance with NRA codes it is reason- able to believe those firms soon will comply. For too long the A@ministration has coaxed and wheedled the minority of industry. The new ex- ecutive order is a sane ‘method of enforcement. Compulsory licensing of business, court proceedings or other punitive measures under the Recovery Act would be slow and unpleasant. But the country’s biggest purchaser can make its own terms in re- gard to buying, and a commercial nation will recognize its right to do so and the superior force One of the most interesting publicity features prepared by the Alaska Line’s advertising depan—} ment is ifs noted “good natured map of Alaska“‘i In a most unique and captivating manner it portrays| something about Alaskan industries, resources, .won-i ery, its routes and modes of travel and other highly | interesting information. It is more of a cartograph than a formal map. Colors have been used to advantage to bring out the high lights. About the only thing missing is the traditional fishwheel and squaw and a reproduction of headquarters of the Squaw Men’s Union. The “good natured map” is proving highly popular and it should aid mater- ially in promoting travel to the Territory. Alaskans will enjoy it as much as the Chee-| chakoos do. Southeast Alaska, however, may be | pardoned if it registers a friendly criticism. A stranger examining it, having no knowledge of the | Territory, would inevitably come to the conclusion | that the Panhandle was_barren of any forms of | wild life. The fauna and flora of other sections | are depicted graphically. None is shown in South- east Alaska. Shrimp, salmon and halibut, totem poles, the Alaska Juneau mine, and glaciers are listed. Nothing is said of the great brown bear | that inhabit the larger islands and sections of the mainland, the deer and mountain goat and other| forms of game. The moose, caribou, reindeer and other game resources of Western and Interior Alaska are colorfully shown. Obviously this dis-| crimination was not intentional, nevertheless it is noticeable to those who are acquainted with the Territory. We hope that in future reprintings of the map the oversight will be corrected SPRING COMES WITH THEM. On the lawns the robins are fluttering and in the lower benches of the hills in which the city nestles they are singing in greeting to the north- land from which they fled a few months ago for less rigorous climes. They are gay birds, graceful and pert and have less fear of man than almost any of our little feathered friends. Some of the present bands will remain, but they are only the vanguard of the great host that comes northward each year, tarrying but briefly of its argument. Enactment of the Wagner labor disputes bill is a necessary part of the new program. Failure to comply with Section TA of the Recovery Act, the section guaranteeing labor's right to collective bargaining, has caused most of the trouble between industry and labor in the last few months, and the new bill is designed to make clear beyond the slightest possibility of misinterpretation just what compliance means. Until labor is freely exercising this right unrest will continue and purchasing power will .fail to improve. The Administration probably would have had an easier time securing compliance with the Rocovery Act if it had been firm months ago, but it ha:l tried out the more lenient plan and demonstrated unmistakably that clear definition of labor's right is necessary as well as use of economic power to enforce them One way or another, purchasing power must be restored. New Deal May Cost Nothing. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) The hard pressed taxpayer may get a break at last. The use of the Government's profit on gold and repayment of R. F. C. loans would more than cancel the increase in the national debt, according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. This is the way the Institute sums the situation: At the end of February the treasury had a balance of $4,902,000,000, primarily as the result of its profit on gold. But using this balance, the Government could more than meet the deficit during the remainder of the current fiscal year even though the deficit should prove to be as large as the Govern- ment’s estimate which now does not seem likely. It was estimated that the debt at the end of next June would amount to $20,848,000,000 as compared with a debt of $26,052,000,000 at the end of February, an increase of $3,796,000,00. By using the treas- ury balance, the Government could thus do without further borrowing during the re- mainder of the cwrrent fiscal year. In fact, since the deficit is not likely to be as large as was expected, the balance in the treasury might prove to be sufficiently large to meet the estimated deficit during on their migration that keeps pace’ with the the fiscal year 1934-35, after which it is climbing sun.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, 1935-36, the debt would thus be $26,052,- 000,000, or the same as it was at the end of | February. The problem of liquidating the debt would subsequently be much less serious than prospective expenditures have indicated. Since $5,462,000,000 of this debt would repre- sent loans made by the Government through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, much of which would eventually be repaid, the net debt which the taxpayers would need to shoulder would be $20,590,000,000 or less than the debt which the present Admin- | istration inherited, It is evident, however, that the full bal- ance in the treasury will not be immediately used to keep down the debt. Of the total balance, $2,000,000,000 has been set aside exchange. Eventually, however, this fund should be available for | reducing the debt.

He had to be in court at ten Delphy and the poor old woman Is nearly frantic.” Judith felt her face flush. Had she acted too hastily? But the news paper article—surely she couldn’t have remained in the house with Norman under the circumstances? “If you'd read that properly you d have discovered the whole thing came from Lampere,” was Clia's comment. Delphy was on the porch, Her wrinkled black face puckered with worry—"Miz Dale, | sure is glad yqQu is back, that there telamfoam has been ringin’ its fool head off. | say, Miz Dale way out in the gar den, leave yo' numba an’ | see she call you.” “Delphy you're a gclden hearted diplomat,” Clia said.

Remember you all of my love, Norman. have “He'ah's yo' choc-late, Miz Dale.” Judy looked up. Delphy was at the door, watching her anxiously. Ju- dith didn’t want the beverage but she did appreciate the affection ot the old woman—“Thanks Delphy. It's just what | need . : . did you offer some to Clia?” Delphy cackled—*1 su-ah did, an’ | you shonld a heard that girl talk 1p to me. Are you all right now, Miz Dale? Don’t y'all reckon Lige otter turn on th' farnace?” Judith shook her head and smiled a radiant smile. She had wondered at Delphy’s sudden insistence upon using Mrs. Dale, instead of her cus- tomary Miss Judith. It was as though she sought to hold her to the estate of Norman Dale’s wife by a constant reminder. She sat a moment considering Norman's letter. She had thought she could see his side before. She | had seen it but never felt it; now he suffered with him. She folded | the letter and put it info her hand- | bag. There would be a way out of | their difficulties. If they could just |talk things over, there would be ome way of comprom:ising. JHE followed Delphy downstairs * to find Clia out-of-doors on her s, picking violets — “Judy, not bright,” she said looking ip. “The idea of giving up a home like this just to tickle your temper.” 3 se, hands busy with the pur- cuded blossoms, looked up for hriet moment, caught the expres- i Jndith's face and looked " ly. “What are you going what | wanted to do, I'd ston on my own wings ' men what a ninny ['ve “Why tell him, he knows it? But ! you want to fly, I'll phone Slim. You realize of course he'd beat Ad- ral Byrd's time to the south pole it you crooked your little finger.” Judith laughed—"I'd prefer the Treasure Isle, if he would take me, and leave here in time to get down | there for dinner.” | A telephone conversation with Slim Sanford assured her she would |see Norman that night, so Judith | went about the business of the new | company. | She had asked the members to {'hold a morning session without her, o after lunching with Clia, in the riendly clatter of the Rice Grill, she went to the bank to take the papers' from her safe deposit box o'clock. He left a letter for you with [and with Clia's assistance to carry | them to Judge Morgan's office. Pausing at the door, Clia just be- ‘hind her, she looked in to see thir- feen men, instead of the seven who had followed her the preceding day A gasp from Clia, and a pull on her jacket made her hesitate, then turn back. *‘See that chap with the cat-in-the- cream expression and the salt and pepper pants?” demanded the red- head. “He handled the under-cover work for Maritellan’s election.” “That eans he's representing Judith caught the impli cation quickly. “Clia, how soon can you give me something definite on him? These men are mostly engl neers. They won't know him and I don't want him in on our plans.” “I'll telephone our political ed!- tor, then call you into Morgan's pri- vate office as soon as I'm ready.’ Judith entered, was greeted with warm cordiality and led to the ‘head of the long table by Justin | Cunard. There she sat and listened ‘to a report of what had occurred ruxut morning. Her mind, free of worry since Norman's letter, was completely engrossed in the prob- lem before her. Cunard bad just concluded when ;udith was called to the telephone in’ the Judge's private office. Clia otioned for her to take the re- ceiver and listen to the political editor’s reply to her question. When Judith returned to the board room her manner was brisk, alert. “Mr. Cunard,” she said, “before going further I would like to greet the new members of our board and mieet the one whom I haven’t met.” Judith spoke briefly to the men whom she had remembered seeing during previous meetings when she had acted as Tom Bevins' secretary, then she turned to the stranger. ' “And Mr. Scathborne, J. C, Scath- borne, acting proxy for Carl Mathis who s in the east,” explained Cunard. “Mrs. Dale, Mr. Mathis asked me to extend his heartfelt sympathy and most sincere congratulations,” began Scathborne.

Practically all of the old-time residents of the city were present, as well as many from Douglas and Treadwell. Bus- iness houses were closed for a time during the afternoon as a mark orl |respect for the departed. 1 \ At the meeting of the Juneau City Council held the preceding ev- ening, Councilman W. H.

At the request of the trustees of the Presbyterian church, Mrs. John B. Stevens, wife of the pastor of the church, withdrew from the contest for membership on the School Board. Mrs. Stevens had| been endorsed by the Draver Club for the school board, and a cam- paign in her behalf was well un- derway when the trustees of the church requested that she with- draw.
