As Juneau awaits the arrival of Army engineers to make a survey with the aim of recommending a site for a small boat harbor, suggestions are being made by various citizens expressing their opinions as to the best location. It is a healthy sign and reveals the wide interest there is in the project. It doesn’t matter so much just where the small hoat harbor is eventually situated but it is important that it be built, and at the earliest possible date. It may be that in these suggestions will be found some ideas of value to the Army experts which may fit in with the plans already worked out by the city. The City Council already has set aside $5,000 toward the cost of devlopment which is estimated to run around $200,000 and its plan calls for utilizing both sides of Willoughby Avenue north of Femmer's Dock. Other ideas are advanced for using frontage north of the new Douglas Island bridge which may prove helpful to the engineers in making their survey. It cannot be overlooked that the need is pressing. The Alaska Juneau have given notice that it pro- poses to use the property now occupied by the Lower | City Float and small boats will have to vacate. There is no place for them to go, and there are scores of them. Some of the fishing boats might be forced to seek berths in other cities. Ketchikan for example is the homesof* hundreds of trollers every winter be- ! cause of the adequate harbor there. There are other boats, such as those in Government service and private crafts, all of which must have a place to moor. While the suggestions are being made, it is hoped that as prompt action might be forthcoming from other sources as that given by the city when it set aside the initial funds/ 1 PHILOSOPHER SMITH. Sidney Smith, the cartoonist who was killed a few weeks ago.in an automobile accident near Chicago, probably will be best remembered in the popular mind for his famous cartcons, “The Gumps.” Many particularly will recall when he ran Andy Gump, the principal character of the strip, for the Presidency in the 1924 election. It swept the country like wild fire. But Mr. Smith left something else that probably « will prove more lasting, at least to those who like brightness and a bit of humorous philosophy. d In 1924, the same year that Gump was the Presi- « dential candidate, the cartoonist wrote a book en- titled “Andy Gump: His Life Story.” In it he put the i more or less sage, fireside remarks he had put into the mouth of the pin-headed Andy. The following are typical, and reveal that Mr. Smith was something of a philosopher in addition to being a real artist with the drawing pencil: I am an apostle of hard work—a sglf~made man who was watching his step while others were watching the clock. A go-getter is the . kind of man who arrives before ‘the other fellow quits looking at the time table. I've gained lots of experience in the last thirty years minding my own business. Any man who is a success at that will get along all right. When Julius Caesar went to Rome he wasn't looking for a job as postmaster. It takes a hundred years to grow an oak tree—a squash takes two months. There are two periods in every woman's life when no man understands her. The first is before she is married and the second is after she is married. If money were all-powerful every rich man would have a good appetite and there would be no bald-headed millionaires. A REPLY TO THE LEAGUE. The Léague of Nations, for the second time, is going to “sound out” the United States on its attitude rela- tive to the list of embargo products to Italy. It has let it be known that it will welcome from this country any communication indicating its opinion on the matter. In view of that the New best answer to the League. That paper suggests: Dear Sir or Madam:—Yours of the 21st inst. received and contents noted. Sincerely, The United States of America. Vice-President Garner is silent on the new Chinese It's all Chinese monetary plan. We don’t blame him. to us, too. The surprising thing is that the Republica.\‘u haven’t gotten around to blame the Ethiopian war on the Democrats. Isn't there something unconstitutional about that? .

Newspapers readers, eager to see a brighter side of our economic picture than they find on the lug- ubrious editorial pages of the anti-Roosevelt news- papers, should turn to the financial pages of the same papers. Here they may read such realities as these, headlined in current issues: “Executives see trade upswing.—Nation said to be ready for the greatest replacement in history.—Boom in 1936 predicted—Five hundred sales executives told there will be buying waves in consumer goods, ma- chinery, housing.” “Rail loadings gain 16.2 per cent over years ago.— New high since 1931.” “Auto trade plans for 1936 outpuf of 4,500,000 units.—Attainment of objective would mean produc- tion above 1923-29 average.” - “Corporate financing gains in September —$261,~ t ago. 2 “Farmers turn heavy buyers—Farm income this year is estimated at 6.7 billions.” “Best October in five years seen by survey.—Indus- trial production is estimated 18 per cent above year ago.” “Inland Steel nine months' net may pass best full year since 1929.” “Associated Dry Goods declares $3 dividend on ) first preferred.” Those look like realities, indeed, as if we are defin- itely on the way. But how long the upturn will con- tinue is, in our opinion, dependent altogether on how wise business is in its distribution of the gains that are now occurring. The soundest advice to business that we have seen is that expressed by Vice-President Charles Francis, of General Foods, in a talk to 500 of his sales execu- tives in New York. “This is no time for political criticism,” he said. |“If there is going to be a substantial and enduring recovery we've got to pull ourselves out in spite of our wonderment and disbelief in many activities going on about us. It's our job.” P Much of the business improvement to date can be |traced to Government spending. But this spending ;csnnot continue forever. Private business must take |over the show. Before business today are all the makings of a ! healthy boom—a vast, highly civilized but temporarily | threadbare country, millions of whose people are {underhoused, underclothed, underequipped with sim- ple comforts, and even undernourished. Mr. Francis reminds business that right here is “the greatest potential market on earth.” Last year only one pair of trousers was manufactured for every three males, only one overcoat for every eleven men, only two pairs of shoes per adult male, a felt hat for every four. Coats and suits were limited fo only one woman in three. Three-fourths of our motor cars are more than four years old. Farm machinery is delapi dated. Millions of homes are in a “primitive state. i HAPPY —BIRTHDAY The Empire extends cwmhda-“ tions and best wishes today, « their birthday anniversary, to the follow- | ing: | | Paul R. Bloedhorn.

A bomb set off in the Italian Con- sulate in New York caused consid- erdble disturbance. Diligent search- to what could be the reason. High German tension running riot in the city, due to Italian conquests on the | western front, was blamed. Further searches will be made. No one was injured in the explosion. That Edward Krause of Peters- burg, wanted for the alleged kid- naping of William Christie, is “Mil- ler,” the man who called for Chris- tie pretending he was a deputy 1aar- shal, was testified to by Foreman King of the “700" Mill, after viewing a picture of Krause. “That’s him, all right,” said King immediately. Meanwhile, a fishing boat.arriv- ing from Taku said they had seen Krause’s boat there but there had been no signs of life on it. How- ever, after dark a light had appear- ed at one of the windows. | Friends of Krause laughed at the | idea that he could possibly be im- | plicated. Meanwhile, Mrs. Christie was equally emphatic in her asser- | tion that there was no foundation for any romance in Krause's: atti- tude toward her. ‘i “He certainly never showed any| further feeling for me than that of | sincere friendship,” she declared.| “He was a good friend of my hux—‘ band and we continued our friend-| ship after his death.

Hitch Hiking. | (Seattle Journal of Commerce.) | In recent years hitch hiking has grown until it has become a mode of travel distinct from all others and with a technique of its own. Hundreds of thou- {sands of men and women, and even children, have wandered about the country, thumbing their way from coast to coast and from the far north to the Gulf of Mexico. Wherever roads go, there goes the hitch hiker. { And it would be a mistake to believe that all those who wangle their way on wheels around the continent are unemployed individuauls looking for work, It may be that many of them are, but for the most part that class of person hitch hikes on trains. There is another class of hobe now, one which takes its vaca- tion by the hitch hiking method. These are mostly young persons who want to make an automobile tour but have no car and insufficient funds to buy one. So they take to the road and thumb every car that comes along until they are picked up and carried to |the next town or as far as the automobilist may i be going in their direction. This method of travel has been successful. Great distances can be covered at little or no cost either | of money or effort. Indeed, so successful has it be- |come that hitch hikers are becoming discriminating. ! Some pass up anything but new and comfortable cars. They look at the tires, for it they are worn there may be a puncture and consequently they may be expected to assist in changing. But discrimination who tells of being stopped by a hitch hiker. He opened the door invitingly, “Have you a radio in your car?” asked the young man. The driver said no. “Go ahead; T'll wait for another car,” replied the youth. 1 Dictators in Europe think the system they have organized is going to be .permanent.

There will be such activity in certain industries. Naval affairs now may be dis- cussed with more sympathy than us- ual.

Much American money is to go to foreign countries, it is foretold, and sensational revolutions may affect the millionaires of the United States.
