THE ENpIREs ANN0UNcEaIENT

The Empire today devotes considerable space Co a description of the new Empire Buding' in pro cess of construction. and the new Duplex Perteetns Printing Press that win be installed In the press room of the building Other equipment for the new office VIII include among other things another lno- type machine for setting type It. like the press will be one of the latest machines put on the market
 While The Empire takes pride in being able to make this announcement to the public. 1t realizes that the advertisement of Juneaus development rather than anything else. If those who make The Empire are entitled to credit 1t is for meeting the demands of the public and pleasing the readers Of Gastineau Channel
 The necessity Of the inyestment~of the money re- quired to give The Empire tirstcass modern news paper plant is the result Of a circulation that has completely outgrown the plant now in use, one that came to Juneau new little over three-and-a-hali wears ago It Is circulation that would have been impossible in this section of Alaska up until very short time ago It Is only few years since the en- tire population of Juneau less than the present circulation of The Empire. which now exceeds 2OoO
 The makers of The Empire are gratified beyond expression that they have met with the support ot a people that has accomplished as much as has been done on Gastneau Channel to extent that has made n necessary to more than double the capacity of their plant and to increase their press capacity more than teu.fod They are grateful to those who have given them support and they promise to continue giving the people "An the News All the Time" and to labor with the others of this section and elsewhere in Alas ka for the upbuding of this Territory. and the Gas ,ineau Channel communities.

pAggMa OF JUNgAU STEAMSHIP co.

The passing of the Juneau Steamship Company will cause regret to the people of Juneau and elsewhere in Southeastern Alaska that has been served by that company It is a matter of regret that the Postofce Department seems to believe that 1t is not part of it's duty to take frontier transportation conditions into account, and to aid in development by keeping vessels on a regular run that would afford the people adequate transportation and passenger accommodation The waters of Alaska are not always navgabie by small boats In fact the Georgia had a that many times was too much for vessel of her dimen- sions It would have been more in keeping with the needs of the situation the government had required larger and more powerful steamer than the Georgia on the mall routes covered in the past by that little steamer
 It is also unfortunate that the government has terminated mall service to the important Berner's Bay district This section should be regularly served with mail. Instead of stopping the mail service re' tween Juneau and skagway and way points the gov ernment should be establishing more mail routes in Southeastern Alaska

GOOD ADVICE

In lecturing 0 man who had purged himself of con- tempt of court and discharged from jail Judge Jennings said yesterday that maiOrities rule in this country and no man is big enough disregard courts and take the law into his own hands. Such common; IS never out of place There is room ios the man who will not abide by the law. It is impossible for men to live under modern conditions without laws rules of action They are necessary for the orderly conduct of affairs. They are necessary that all may have justice. Therefore. society must restrain the man who insists upon making his own rules and being governed solely by his caprice or whim or belief in his rights There is no man who has any right that will not be protected if he will seek protection in regular manner and in accordance with the rules that have been adopted by the people. In spite of all that has been said to the contrary American Courts are humane as we'll as just and they administer the law for the poor and the weak as well as for the rich and the strong The exceptions to this rule are rare indeed

PREPAREDNESS FACTS
 ARE GIVEN IN CONCISE
 WAY IN TRADE PAPER

NEW YORK. April 2s.-The Wall Street Journal says:
 A few preparedness facts should bo borne in mind by every citizen.
 Preparedness it not a matter or days. weeks. or months. It is mat ter of years. With Germany, it was a matter of fifty years, and every year step forward. With England, lit has been a matter of more than fifteen years for naval defenses alone. During this time to keep ahead of Germany she had to replan and re- build her naval forces three times
 Any plan Of preparedness for the United States involves reorganized and enlarged navy in conjunction with the two modern forces of war fare-submarlnes and aeroplanes; both new in embryo stages Of devel- opment Also the means is improved and continually improving coast de- lenses to cope with modernized war fare.
 All this calls for no special popu- lar agitation after the course has once been determined upon. It is just a matter of engineering and annual ap- propriations.
 Army defense-defeuse by citizen shlp-calls for the broadest popular education and involves:
 C1) The strengthening of our re- lations in diplomacy both to the north and the south of us that we may be no menace and cause no fear in our neighborly relationships
 (2) Education in citizenship and assumption of the full duties of citi zenship-the privilege to make and the privilege to defend national un- fly and government
 (S) The building and eQuipping of factories able to equip and keep al- ways equipped. whenever called upon. ct least one million men.
 The error of the present situation is that 1t looks to Congress to give immediate preparedness.
 Not in twenty years could Con- gressional appropriation give to this country the equipment and munitions preparedness that the allies are giy- ing to 1t during every year Of this great war.
 Great Britain has built and paid for our powder factories during the first year of this war Not in ten years could congressional appropria- tious have expanded the du Pont and other powder works in this country as they have been expanded during the first two years of this war.
 orders for SsOO,OOOOOO in shells and guns put Bethlehem in a twelve month well ahead of the Krupps Russia and her allies are giving rifle works to the United States capable of turning out 100000 guns a month. It is doubtful if any political party could be in continued power long enough in the United States to ac- complIsh this in generation.
 It is beyond the power of the United States today, through Congress sional appropriation to build powder works, rifle factories or any kind of munitions plant to be or any use during the present European war
 The allies are making the physi. cal preparedness of the United States by factory construction and are pay ing the bills.

WORK WEARS ON The
KIDNEYS
Doans Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service TO People Who Work
in Middebury

Many Middlebury people work every
day in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over adesk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing labor
ious homework; lifting. reaching or pull
ing, or trying the back in hundred and
one other ways. All these strains tend
to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they fall behind in their work of
tihering the poisons from the blood
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kid
neys and bad backs. Their effective work
in Mddiebury is convincing proof of
merit.
Mrs. John E Lowell, 50 Seymour ST.,
Middebury, says: "My kidneys became
disordered by overworking and my back
gave me trouble. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage and unuat-
ural. My back bothered me mostly when
got up in the morning and when |
stopped, sharp twings shot through my
back. could see sort of blur before
my eyes at times and also had dizzy
spells. | felt very miserable most of the
time until finally used DOan's Kidney
Pills. Four boxes helped me so much
that the trouble hasn't returned"
Price SOC. at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pllls-the same that Mrs. Lowell
had.
