HIGGINS MUST GET IN TRIM
 FOR BIG DAY
Sergeant of Arms of the United States Senate Some Officer on
 Inauguration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. - Col. Charles P. Higgins, Sergeantat Arms of the United States Senate, is con- sidering the advisability of taking a course in voice culture to fit him for the inaugural ceremonies in the Senate March next
 Tradition requires that the Ser. geant.at.Arms appear on that oc. casion garbed in cutaway coat, with striped trousers, white waistcoat, patent leather shoes and the cor. rect fixings of modish afternoon dress It also requires that he take a position in the center aisle and announce to the presiding officer the arrival of the dignitaries who always grace the historic chamber with their presence on this memor- able day
 First will be ushered in the Chief Justice and the Justices of the Su- preme Court of the United States and the members of the Diplomatic Corps. The members of the highest tribunal wear their flowing black robes, while the diplomats come at tired in their resplendant uniforms, weighted down with gold lace and decorations.
 Ordinarily the outgoing President of the United States is announced, with the Presidentelect, but next March for the first time since Presi. dent Roosevelt succeeded himself, President Wilson will walk down the aisle unaccOmpanied. Vice-President Marshall also will be without escort when he walks in to retake the oath of office.
 Only the Vice President Is inaugu. rated in the Senate, unless inclem. ent weather prevents the presiden. tial ceremony out of doors, or to be more exact, on q platform erected over the steps at the east front Of the Capitol Building.

Every town has a lot of houses and a lot of girls that look as though they needed repainting.
 You may have noticed that the lad who likes to whine about what an ornery world this is always sticks around as long as he can, and never moves out of it.
 It is none of our business. But it always sounds funny to hear a married man singing about the Land of the Free.
 A wife shouldn't get mad when her husband accuses her of having married him for his money. She should regard the statemnt as a tri- bute to her good sense.
 The difference between the tight skirts they wore last winter and the loose skirts they are wearing this winter is that this winter a girl doesn't have to walk like she was wading.
 No man ever got very far by fol- lowing the advice he gave others Nor did the others.
 Another reason why we have so many divorces is because couples take each other for Better or Worse instead of for Good
 If a Beauty Sleep improves looks we know some women who need one that will last about as long as Rip Van Wrinkles nap.
 Some of us can't stand prosper .ty. But most of us never get a chance to discover whether we can pr not.

A BRANDEIs DECISION
lSeaLtIe Post.IntelIigencerl

Additional interest attaches to the recent decision Oi the United States Supreme Court in the Pacific Coast rate case from the fact that it was written and announced by Associate Justice Louis D. Brandes In the opinion the contention of the transconnental railroads for the right tO meet water competition through the Panama Canal in through rates Coast terminals is recognized.
 The contention oi interior cities was that the Panama Canal in its present liability to blockade does not furnish reliable water competition and that the restrictive clause of the interstate commerce law gov erning long and short hauls would thus be operative to prevent the making of low onghau rates to Coast terminals Justice Brandes found that the Panama Canal furnishes reliable competitive route, and he suggests further that court interference with the ders of the Interstate Commerce Commission muni cipal applications, cannot be made consistent with the administrative freedom and energy the commission should have
 Justice Brandeis first important decision is some testimony to his ability deal fairly with the poratOns he often opposed in his career as at tOrney, and something of a pleasant disappointment in his attitude toward railroads.

A SAMPLE OF GRASS IGNORANCE
CKetchikan Progressive-MinerJ

(Ketchikan Progressive-AIiner)
 A better sample of crass ignorance would be hard 10 find than tho which appears below. A New York firm sent box of seeds to one of the local merchants explaining the early shipment thus:
 Gentemen:-
 Your letter of September 11th received re-
 ga-dug the box of seeds which We shipped
 you tO sell on commission the coming
 We have to send out seeds the latter part
 of August that you will have them in time
 for next Springs sales navigation closes
 about the first of September and does not
 open again until the next June We trust
 you will keep the seeds sale and sell
 many you of them next Spring and at
 the close of the season, which will be July
 first, will send you statement blanks for
 settlement of same
 Doesn't that jar you? No wonder that the transportation companies eXertng themselves Go bring tourists to Alaska and let them know their country before they visit foreign countries
 If were to institute inquiry, the chances are that would find that this same Down East mer- chant is preparing to take trip abroad" next take the rust off of him and get a little education: when as matter of fact he knows nothing of the country he lives in. That must think that Alaska is a mushroom; that KetChkan is Fairbanks when the truth is that Kechkan is to Fair banks than Chicago is to San Francisco, with as much difference in the climate if not Obviously Eastern States should have night school for the chants with AlaSkanS educators and law COmpell- ing them to attend They so doggone rusty that are ashamed Of them.

DEATH OF SAMUEL BLUM

The news Of the tragic death of Samuel Blum last night was severe shock the people of Juneau as doubtless it was Co those every community along the Alaskan coast NIr.

About a decade and half he sold his busi- ness to Kaufman Brothers. who in turn sold it to Charles GoIdstein. He left this place at that time and located Valdez. where he took the leading place in the commercial and financial life of that city He conducted general store there and bank. Later he located a branch store and bank at CordoYa. He also hal stores at Chjtina Copper Center and other points He was generally regarded one of the wealthiest men of Alaska.
 Mr. Blum wiu be sadly missed from the business
 life of Alaska. anu he will be missed loyal Alas kan. He was a man who made friends and held them. He was one of the strongest Alaskan characters, and there is none that knew him who does not sorrow with the members of his family because of his unt!mely death.

A VAST DIFFERENCE

There is a vast difference between President Will, sons note and the peace conference proposal of Ger many The difference is so great that it is difficult to understand how Gussie Gardner and others can pretend to see in the Presidents note response to Germany's request. Germany has asked for peace conference. She had not stated what she is fighting for nor what would be her peace terms. The Presi dents note is addressed to Germany as well as the other beIligerents It asks Germany and the others to state what they fighting for and what terms would result in peace. The President says if the
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-01-13

countries at war, including Germany, would make a concise statement of the situation as 1t appears to them that 1t might lay foundation for peace
 ference. Germany proposes peace conference with such statement. It would be just as reasonable to say that President Wilson's note designed to chide Germany for not laying proper foundation for peace conference as 1t is to say that he attempted to back up the German peace movement President
 Wilson is in fact still neutral and American rather than an advocate of either side in the war

A PRESENT TO UNCLE SAM
est. Louis Republic.)

The Bureau of Education at Washington suggests way through which many people in the United States may make the Nation useful present
 Every year following the holidays there is drop in the attendance of the evening schools in cities where they open to teach foreigners the language and ideals of this country. The Americanization of the immigrant must begin by teaching him com mon language; without Americanization always in danger of harboring a large population of those whose fidelity to this country may be broken whenever we have trouble abroad
 The English-speakng foreigner is a more efficient worker he contributes less to annual loss by in dustrial accidents and acts rationally when in dustrial trouble arises than the immigrant who speaks no English, while the children of the Euglshspeaking immigrant make better citizens than those of mm- grants who never learned English.
 The present to Uncle Sam which the Bureau suggests is a student of English from the ranks of those who know English and everyone in a position to do so is asked to induce some immigrant ignorant of English to take the study of the lan- guage.
