The records and qualifications of the various can- didates have been described. They have told their story of why they are seeking office and what they propose to do if elected. Being a small community most of them are well known. All are representa- tive citizens of the community. But the voter must decide which of them are best qualified for the par- ticular offices they seek. And the decision should, 20t be left to 60 or 75 per cent of the voters.

At the request of Gov. Troy, Mayor Goldstein of Juneau and Mayor Goetz, of Douglas, coupled with the support of Delegate Dimond in the National Capital, Harry L. Hopkins, Relief Director, has granted an ad- ditional $40,000 for relief purposes in the Territory. It is forthcoming purely as an emergency FERA on March gap between the termination of to fill the 26 and when other arrangements can be made by local | relief groups or the unemployed to care for them- | selves.

CRONINNOVEL AVAILABLE AT LIBRARY NOW “The Stars Look Down,” British Best-Seller, Has Much to Offer One of the newer acquisitions of the Juneau Public Library, “The Stars Look Down,” by H. D. Cronin may well prove to be the one purely objeotive and significant novel to have arisen out of the present era of social consciousness. In no sense of the word a radical, and utterly dispossessed of political theory, a man open to truth and armed with a repertorial passion for recording it, Cronin approaches his subject with something of the re- mote omniscience symbolized in his title, but with, too, a sympathy en- irely human, and an attitude toward his charaters that is in essence one of brotherhood rather than guard- janship. Author Is Doctor Cronin is a doctor—a doctor who | thas lived past middle age in a Brit- ish mining town similar to that out- lined in the book—he has witnessed everything of which he writes, and | has had time, since that witnessing, to have assimilated it into a magni- ficant tolerance. Not the greatest of our radical writers has written a more starkly | moving story of misery and death ! born of men’s greed than Cronin’ their shoulder to efforts $100,000 annually, | cy, localized in a He ol prejudice. Cronin has no irons in the fire. He paints mine disasters, strikes, riots and embattled trenches because they aze part of the picture, | but they and their very significance | at all times are secondary to the characters he portrays. Successor to Bennett And it is in the portrayal of char- acter that Cronin shows his real genius, ere is not a stereotyped character in the book, no smallest | participant in the scene of action who is not moulded lovingly, with attention to each detail, so that even minor characters are remembered, and live as actual beings, long af-| tér the book has been concluded. In thifs, as in his objectivity and un- derstanding, Cronin stands out as the inevitable successor to the crown of the late Arnold Bennett, a writ- er fully as great, with his feet as firmly imbedded in the future as those of the eminent Bennett were in the conservative past. —————— PIONEER DIES Charles E. Lynn, 80 years old, resi- dent of Ketchikan, and a pioneer of the Territory died at the Ketchi- kan hospital last week. Mr Lynn, who came to Alaska in 1899 from Memphis, Tennessee, was known to the oldtimers of the Daw- son district as “Tennessee.” For {a time he was connected with the | old Alaska Commereial company. | —.-ee | APPRAISER TO FAIRBANKS J: E.

While France and Germany fought hand-to-hand at Chattancourt, German planes bombed London, and rumors of an international plot to murder the czar brought panic to diplomatic circles, the United States Congress meditated over the pro- posed fortifications bill, calling for expenditure of $1000,000,000 for im- provement and modernization of coast defenses. Pile driver crews, of Edward Webster, the extension under direction began work on to the city dock. Mrs. H. P. Crewther entertained at Juneau Woman's Club at a so- cial afternoon in her home. A seven-and-half pound boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hurley in St. Ann’s Hospital. The first of the Krause trials was slated to come up on Monday, the first to be taken up being an in- dictment charging Krause with im- personating an officer when he served what purported to be a fake subpoena on William Christie in Treadwell.
