THE EMPIRE NOT INTERESTED

An ~undicosed Juneauite" writing in the Valdez prospector after going Into circumstantiai detail in alleging participation" of the large mining compan- les of this section in the recent Republican primary says the local papers dare not print the facts"
 The Republican quarrel et Juneau and apparently elsewhere in Alaska has developed into question of purely personal politics. The fight is solely one for position against the possibility of Republican success in The Nation The only issue is as to whom will be in me" should the unexpected happen and President Wilson be defeated at the next election. If there Is a principle of government question that con- eerus Alaska involved. 1t has not been disclosed up to this time
 The regulars who have excoriorated wickersham duplicty and demasosuery for years. are In cOubna ton with him. and the "undisclosed Juneaulte" who is angry because the papers not make his personal fight their fight is seeking break the combination so that he might make combination Of his own Both factions are playing for place in the game and the game is that of old.fashoned personal Dol tics"
 At this date the situation is that does not interest The Empire In the least is one that should appeal to any Alaskan who Is not looking for office and whose only interest in politics Is good gov ernment and progressive development

 The summer plague of mosquitoes which some times afaicts the best drained and best kept cities is due to little accumulatOns of rain water in in- uumerable neglected receptacles The mosquito "wrg- zer" has no objection to cramped quarters. He will thrive numerousy in pint Of water and become just as effective as a malaria carrier he would have been had his cradle been all the water of the oceans
 Hence the advice not to throw empty cans where water will get into them. If they must be thrown out then make an opening so that the water that seis in win run out

AFTER THE WAR

What will Europe do with her soldiers after the war is over' That is question about which great deal is being written at the present time. It Is con. ceded that conditions will be greatly different from those which have obtained after any recent The last war to approach the present in the number of men under arms and the duration of the conflict was the American Civil War But here there were the vast prairles and valleys and mining districts of the an but unexplored West to beckon the soldier whose place at home was filled by some else. The length of the war in Europe already has been long enough for the places Of the soldier. be filled by others. but thdre Is no great unsettled portion of the coun- try for them to go to.
 It is conceded that there will be great deal of readustment necessary in Europe after the war shall have ended and that there be reduction of wages Taxes to meet interest on war loans will be high and in order to meet the need they must reach every available revenue producer If wages should continue as they are and the taxes necessary to pay interest and stop continuation of the increase of indebtedness should be applied it would be mpOssi bie for the old World countries to produce in com petition with debt free Nations.
 Walter Runcman. president Of the British Board or Trade recently gave an interesting description of che prosperity which the British wOrkingman and workngwoman are enjoying at home.
 Unemployment amounts tO only aoOut Ohe-haH Oi one per cent in spite Of duness in the building trades while in few trades where piece work prevails good workmen are making as much $50 week To keep up the labor supply where 1t was depleted by enlistment boys have been taught to do mems work old men have been put to work and women have learned trades that were exclusively for before the war. Many thousands of them doing amaz- ingiy good work according to Mir Runcman. in office. shop and factory
 In that situation the question what will happen after the war? Immediately suggests itself Women who have been enjoying a new freedom with good wages must go back to the life of a British work iugman's wife and the British workingman will not be earning as much money he earned while he was somewhere in France" The condition In which there is work for everyone may and very likely will, be succeeded by extensive unemployment. No doubt great efforts win be made to find work for the re- turned soldiers, but when the best is done there will stu be good cause for reslessness and discOntent.
 That one of the results will be increased immi grafton to America seems certain and the outlook is that among the immigrants win be thousands of well trained educated and heretofore welltodo men and women who will make useful American citizens

much a falsehood as the brides
promise to obey him.
No man has any intention of en-
downing his wife with all OF his word
ly goods when he gets married. We
have yet to hear of bridegroom max.
ing over all Of his property to his
wife as a bridal gift. The wife has
only so much OF her husbands in.
come as he chooses to hand out to
her from time to time. She can't
check against his account in bank
unless he makes special arrange
ments emitting her to do so. She
can't collect his salary. She can't
sell or mortgage his real estate. When
ne dies he can even leave most OF
his property away from her, although
she may have worked and saved for
fifty years to help him accumulate it.
The only worldly goods man
really bestows on his wife by the mar
riage ceremony is a charge account,
and he can stop that whenever he
likes by the simple expedient OF
publishing in the papers that he will
no longer be responsible for her
debts. Considering that most wives
do not receive from their husbands
even a personal allowance, but have
to go to him day by day with sup
plications for every dollar they need
it would seem to be the part Of good
taste to omit all reference to world
" goods from the ceremony that
binds two loving hearts together.
Certainly, if men knew beforehand
that their wives didn't intend to obey
them, and women were aware that
their husbands were not going to turn
over their pocketbooks to them, they
would start on a more honest plat
form, and would have fewer illusions.
Anyway, whether you look upon
marriage as a religious sacrament or
a civil contract, it takes away from
its sacredness and binding quality
to base it on a lie, on an oath that a
man and woman take knowing when
they take it that they do not mean
to keep it, and the church will do well
to so change the marriage ceremony
that bride and bridegroom will not be
forced to commit perjury.
