THE ELEcTIoN

The people are to be congratulated that the result of the lQuor license election yesterday decisive. and that there vii Toe no further proceedings. The result showed majority Of approximately three to one of those voting to be of liquor licenses If one is to accept the estimate of those who worked at thc polls on election day as to the preference of the S7o votes that were in" and add the 1ss letters giving consent to the sale of iquor that are said to be n the hands of the managers Of Che prolicense cam pagn the percentage is larger. However. it is fair to assume that the same percentage would not have been maintained had an votes been boiled for the req son that those who retrained from voting generally knew that they would be counted dry if they did rot vote. The summary published in the news columns ot The Empire today is probably fair statement of the situation in Juneau That would indicate that there are probably all told. approximately 25oo persons who would be entitled Co vote this question in Juneau and that they would have divided at approximately 1Soo wet and zoo dry.
 It must not however be taken for granted that this indicates che position of the people of Juneau upon the general question of prohibition. While Juneau would probably be wet under any circumstance the majority would TO, be as large the figures quoted if the law would permitted them to squarely upon the question of Territory-wide prohibition and the machinery for the enforcement of prohibition outside of Che municipalities were provided.
 But however that might be- we have to jog along in Alaska with the laws and conditions as we find hem and under the circumstances. the voters showed a discrimination that is commendabe. The more peO pie examined all phases of the situation in this cleo ton the stronger became the conviction that nothing could be gained and great deal could be lost by yo ing against license in Juneau
 At least there will be none sorry that the vote was decisive and that the question is settled.

On the Titanic Maj. Butt and Frank aflet. it is known. practically sur rendered their chances of escape in order that others
