Johnson, Commander of the Aircraft Base Force, told a representative of The Empire last week. That is most encouraging information. We have not been over-zealous in advertising local facilities for an air port. (Not until the Army planes started. their Alaska expedi- tion did we discover we had an almost perfect landing field for land planes. Experience, of course, has demonstrated the advantages here for seaplanes. Admiral Johnson enumerated some of the ad- vantages we possess for an air base. The sheltered waters are ideal. We are centrally located so that planes could reach any part of the Alaska Coast in quick time. We have residential accommoda- tions for those who would be attached to such a base. In addition to those which he named, we have the advantage of being located a day's flight away from the main ports of the Pacific Coast, from Seattle to San Francisco. A plane leaving either Seatfle or San Francisco in the morning could easily reach Juneau for the night stop. And from here any spot in the Territory can be reached in six or eight hours. The Secretary of Navy has indicated air bases may be established in the Territory. We should see to it that the Navy Department has full knowledge of all of the local advantages and make every effort to obtain the base for this city if, and when, one is established MISSTATING FACTS. A few days ago the Board of Liquor Control, the suggestion of the Juneau City Council's legal representative, adopted a regulation specificially authorizing City Councils to pass regulations con- trolling the liquor business within their borders, providing such regulations did not conflct with those promulgated by the Board. Ths action moved the Chronicle of Ketchikan, an early and persistent critic of the Board, to remark that “henceforth municipal governments will be allowed more latitude in setting up regulatory programs governing the sale and distribution of liquor within the muni- cipaliy.” Any grammar school pupil of average intelligence who has read the regulation in question will readily recognize that for a misstatement of fact. It has been the contention of the Board at all times that the municipalities were from the first empowered to pass police regulations controlling the sale and distri- bution of liquor within municipal bounaries. While Mr. Faulkner, as legal adviser to the local City cauiwn has expressed a doubt whether the Council, vmmu: specific authority, eould enact any ordinance !glvel_‘- ing this subject, such a theory was never enter- tained at Ketchikan. The City Council there was prompt to enact one. Its authority to do so was never questioned By+the Board nor has it béen challenged in a court of Ccompetent jurisdiction. The Board, in adopting the regulation asked for by Mr. Faulkner, did so to clear away any possible doubt, but it specifically limited the power of the Council to regulations which do not conflict with or set aside regulations adopted by the Board for the whole Territory. . * . . The local City Council desired to empower its Municipal Court to handle cases involving infrac- tions of the regulations of the Board. It properly felt that inasmuch as the cost of policing is de- frayed by the municipality, any fines imposed upon violations should go into the city cash box rather than the Federal treasury as would happen should prosecution be had in the United States Commis- sioner’s Court. It was advised the Municipal Court was without authority in the premises unless it was specifically pestowed by ordinance; it was further advised that a doubt existed as to the Council’s power to enact an ordinance on the subject in the absence of specific direction from the Board of Liquor Control in which is reposed by statute the sole authority lo regulatefthe liguor traffic. And while the Board believed, and still dogs, that the general power of the Council was sufficient to cover the situation, it acceded to the local request fto adopt a regulation specifically authorizing the municipalities to act, which Ketchikan and several other comunities had already done. B . . . Naturally, the Board is in no position to enforce any of its regulations. There is no Territorial police force of any kind. The law which created the Board does not carry any provision for enforcement nor any funds to be used in organizing an enforce- ment body of officers. Municipalities, which receive 50 per cent of the revenues accruing from the traffic within their horders, have peace officers regularly empicyed and who ‘can and ought to enforce the regulations. The cases arising from arrests made by them can ought o 'be iried in Municipal essence of home rule. It cannot Chronicle would understand since it has consistently in i e | ~Jdeliberately jset at | opposed home rule of our gi'entest fesource—the fisheries—for many years. % The Chronicle plainly is not interested in giving its readers the plain facts in regard to the liquor ‘rnnulauons It is endeavoring to make parLismn‘ political capital out of them. It frankly advocates| making liquor control a political issue. It asserts it cannot be kept free from politics. And that is just so much warmed over mush. It charges that the “democratic machine” has; {been handling the liquor problem. It knew and| knows that such a charge is false; that no founda- tion whatever exists for it. Jt was lmhen, wasn't before, and isn't now mneraud r the cor- rectness of its portrayal ofjthie Board's policies nor interpretation of the Bdard's regulations.

While we enjoyed the visit of the planes and the Wright no end, now that they have departed, at least we can have the pleasure of seeing a local team win a ball game. Judges Honored. (Anchorage Times.) Simon Hellenthal, for more than a quarter of a century a resident of Alaska and a leading member |of the Bar of the Territory, took the oath of office and qualified at Valdez Saturday as Judge of the Third Judicial Division of Alaska, succeeding Judge ,Cecil H, Clégg, who retires to return to the private practice of law at Fairbanks. Alaska, and the Third Judicial Division in par- ticular, has every reason to congratulate itself on having an incumbent in this high position of the record and ability of Judge Hellenthal. Anchorage, together with other parts of the Division, will join in extending him a most hearty and cordial welcome. 3 The ‘appointmént of Mr. Hellenthal is a tribute to his. abilily ‘as an outstdnding member of his chosen profession. The bar of Alaska loses in his | appointment one of its most eminent and able advo- cates but the bench at the same time opens the | way for him to continue service to the people of Alaska .in even a more important position. Mr. Hellenthal was active in his old home town of Juneau not only as a member of the legal pro- fession but also as an energetic public spirited citizen, where he was a hard working member of the Chamber of Commerce and of other civic organi- zations and movements. Doubtless his efforts in a| similar way will be continued in his new field and this portion of Alaska will profit greatly by his able co-operation in all matters pertaining to the public | welfare. It is especially gratifying at the time to con- template -the fact that Judge Hellenthal was ap- pointed from among the people of Alaska, that he is a real Alaskan, one whose labors and interests |through many years have been entirely within the | | Territory. It is this type of man Alaskans most {desire to see in office, and the high authorities Who | |are responsible for his elevation to the .*udgeshlp are to be commended for melr wisdom'dn ‘the | matter. [ Judge Hellenthal will" find a warm welcome | awaiting him in every part of his Judicial Division, fand it is to be hoped it will not be long until the citizens of this particular locality will have the opportunity of extending him similiar hospital’ ies and honors just accorded him at Valdez. The Gold Ship. (Seattle Times.) Thirty-seven years ago tomorrow, on July 17, 1897, the most important event in the life of Seattle up to that time auspiciously occurred. The “gold |ship” Portland arrived with miners from the Klon- dike who had “cleaned up” in the spring on Bonanza, El Dorado and other of the famous auriferous creeks in that immensely rich placer area. The news, flashed to the world, brought hordes of professional and amateur “stampeders” to this city and it was estimated that before the “rush” had abated the following spring more than 50,000 persohs had passed over local docks en route | for the Yukon via the Dyea trail. | The Klondike ' “gold rush” has more than cus- tomary significance to Seattleites this year because |of the acknowledged renaissapce of placer operations | in the Territory following the advance of the metal’s | price to $35 an ounce. . Predictions are made that |the increased activity of prospectors will uncover |other rich areas in Alaska or in the Yukon; whether these prophecies are or are not fulfilled, the fact rémdins that “experienced miners are making more than expense working previously known districts or deposits recently discovered. Now, as heretofore, | placer activity means for the Northland increased population, business and prosperity. The Remarkable Swiss. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Germany is ground under Hitler's heel; in Italy Mussolini’s iron fist does the business; Spain is having a serious time getting its new republic in working order; France is all mixed up, and even Holland has communistic mobs. In this European turmoil Switzerland placidly goes on about its usual business. Apparently Switzerland is a land of steady habits, even more so than New England. It is not trying new economic theorigs, nor is it bothering itself about its neighbor's troubles. In a fermenting world it has sterilized the germs. It has been the refuge of communists, but their preachings have not meved the Swiss. The Swiss people and their ddeas seem as fixed and immutable as their ‘own ‘Alps. * They have felt the depression, for who could escape it? But they¥acéepted it without complaint. Their gemocracy | is absolute and :their . Government is t\holly wnhou{ fuss or feathers. People elsewhere turn somersaults; but the Swiss keep their feet on the ground. They are a wonder- ful people In the general hullabaloo it is a mental relief to contemplate them.

Word from Brussels said that the entire Sey- enth and Tenth German army corps had invaded Belgium at Liege, and were bombarding forts as they advanced. The State Department at Wash- ington, D. C. had word that there were one hundred thousand Amer- icans in Europe, most of whom were desirous of returning to this country immediately. Owing to a scarcity of ships there was™ room for only sixteen thousand.
