YEP. THEY'RE LEGAL

The story that has gained cir !. culation that many persons re- !. gently married in Juneau are I not legally welded, because a E revenue stamp was not affix- s ed to the certificate, is one of '. those dreams outside editors . like to publish. The Epworth P Herald is the periodical con- : taining the latest freak.
 F According to a ruling in the r office of the Secretary of AL {. aska no revenue stamp Is re-
 r Quired on 0 marriage certifi- a cate. This ruling was secur- :. ed June 2S, last year. from Col. f lector of Internal Revenue E Williams at Tacoma. Mir. VII
 f Hams stated that certificates
 < did not require any revenue

CITY HEALTH GOOD.

The epidemic Of sickness which for a very short time pre- vailed In Juneau has safely passed. There are practically no new cases of scarlet fever or typhoid. Several symptoms de- veloped last week but the little germs turned out to be some thing else.
 The above were the state ments made today by Dr. 1T. c. Devighne. who in the absence Of Dr. Bev,s. is acting Deputy Com missioner of Health. and pr. Dawes. city health officer.
 Last week it was reported from several sources that both scarlet lever and typhoid were prevalent .n the city but when all rumors were run to earth. there were nothing to them.
 There are. however. many cases of whooplng cough and chicken pox among the chil- dren. but there is nothing re- markable about that fact. The diseases are known as infantile necessities. and prevail any where. generally anytime.
 Even the La Grippe microbe. which wiggled around this vicin- ity for several weeks. has two stepped out. and the cases he left are now convalescent.
 Summing up the general health report for the city of Juneau 1t can be said that jt is excellent for this tine of the year.

FUNDAMENTAL THINGS. - The

little Day Book is an epitome of the
desires, the opinions and beliefs of
those who read it. The variety Of
these displayed by the people who
write for it is an index to the chaos
of public opinion in the world at
large.
And yet upon this public opinion
rests the fabric of governments, laws
and institutions that make for the
veal or woe of all humanity. In it
there is much that is good and much
that is bad Whether the good pre-
walls or not depends upon the choice
made by the controlling element in
the great body Of the people. This
may be less than majority, as col
Iective action is governed by the
greatest unit of opinion in the whole.
This unit is often wrong, but in spite
Of obstacles and mistakes it eventual
ly finds the right and is at the bot
tom of all progress.
It strikes a fundamental chord and
wrong fees before it. Constitutions,
laws, institutions and customs in
fected with wrong may block prog
ress for a time, but whenever the
public opinion of the greatest unit
finds the right chord it moves the
whole world and wrong fees before
the right.
Cooperation, temperance, abstin-
ence, economy, diligence, beneVo-
Ience, honesty and many other things
are held up as remedies for social
and individual evil conditions They
are good, but do not reach the
wrongs, because they are superficial
and not fundamental.
Cooperation is a good thing to re-
lieve the poverty and restitution Of

to suffer. Carried to its extreme

EFFETE, OLD-FASHIONED AND
WORN OUT.-In the current efface-
ment of the old social disorder all
believers in evolution must see the
dawning of a new epoch. BUnkology
is kicking the bucket. That is so
clearly evident that he who runs may
read.
No one can delineate the transfor-
nation nor clearly anticipate the
final results. There are plenty of
mythical and legendary stories from
which men have tried to establish a
foundation upon which to erect su-
perstructure. You will find them all
a misfit. Philosopher and fool are
equally competent in the present
emergency. Perhaps the philosopher
will be found the greater fool The
signs are very cheering. Royalty is
being blown to smithereens in Eu-
rope. King dollars got dig between
the ribs at home on Nov. Z, which
means his quietus.
1t is to be hoped he will turn up his
toes more quietly and gracefully
than Europe is doing, that the mass
of us may observe proceedings with
calmness and an abiding faith that
we are on the way to something bet
ter. We know that the old systems
are far short of our present needs
and that their continuance only in
tensifes the tragedy. All should wish
for their departure and thank God
for deliverance from such death in
life.

he brotherhoods can't call

of the brotherhoods can't call a
strike.
"ShouId the railroads refuse to
grant the demands, arbitration would
be the next logical STEP"
This takes a different slant from
the strike talk of a few weeks ago
when Timothy Shea of the brother
hoods executive committee declared
they were through with arbitration
and if there was a cinch it was that
the brotherhoods would never again
trust their case to the judgment of a
board of arbitrators. The simple rea-
son for this, Shea said, was that the
rank and file membership of the
brotherhOods feel they have been
tricked so often in talking across a
table with company managers and
lawyers that it was goOd-by for arbi-
tratiOn. Demands would be present
ed and, if not granted by the COM
panies, instead of arbitrating the rail
workers of the country would stop
work and go on one grand waIkout.
This remarkable statement of Tim
Shea was published in the Journal
and The Day Book.
When the demands of the 100000
rail employees were simultaneously
submitted to general managers OF the
458 American railroads yesterday,
with the request that the companies
join in a concerted movement to
deal with the brotheFhoods, J. w.
Higgins, executive secretary of the
Western Railways assn, Transporta-
ton bldg, issued a statement that the
companies are reluctant" to get
into a concerted movement and the
whole matter of new wage scale is
stiu in the hands of the individual
companies.
A United Press story from New
York, however, shows that if the
railroad companies are not COM

Of the N. Y. Central west of Buffalo.
The New York statement was issued
by Frank H. Fayant, publicity direc-
tor for the managers conference,
eastern territory. Both statements
presented coUnter-claims, what the
railroads demand of the men: ~ No
double compensation for same time
or service, (2) Same pay classical
tiOns to be applied to all members Of
train and engine crews.
This plays off engineers against
brakemen and conductor against
trainmen.
For many years the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers has been
known as the "aristocrat" of organ
lied labor. 1t has refused to ally with
the American Federation of Labor
and has stood off from the labor
movement in general. Recently a let
ter was printed in the official journal
of the engineers in which LOuisi-
ana engineer argued that the railroad
engineer doesn't belong to the work
ing class, but is in a profession, and
engineers should call themselves
members of a profession, just like
doctors or lawyers.
An increasing number of engi-
neers, however, are beginning to see
how the organization has got to be
more than a fraternaI insurance So
ciety if it's going to be a labor union.
It takes men of daring, nerve and
quick thought to operate the trains
of railroads these days. And wheth-
er these men who are in revolt
against the kind Of arbitration by
which they were tricked last year will
again stand for the sort of a cheat
worked on them last year is a big
issue in the rail world now and the
next few months.
