THE CONSTITUTION AND WAR.
M IA nu N

Some good lawyers think The constitution Of
the United States is suspended in war time;
equally good lawyers think it is not.
There is no sound reason why it should be
suspended If the constitution is not to hold good
during national criss-when it is most needed
it must be conceded that much of the effective
ness of the instrument is lost. For an instrument
that applies when there is nothing going on
and does not apply when trouble is III the air, y
necessarily is not fulfilling the true functions OF
Ia basic law
Senator Borah thinks the constitution holds
good in war time as in peace. Here is how he puts
it:
1T is great mistake to suppose that the con-
stitution is suspended during war time. think
there is rather mistaken idea which creeps even
into the senate that the constitution no longer
exists.
anyone who stops to think a minute can see
how foolish such theory would be. If the con-
stituton is suspended then there is no further oc-
casion for congress to remain in session.
"The only way the constitution can be suspend
ed is by creation of a dictatorship.
1T is not necessary to assume that the con-
stitution is suspended in order that the president
may with efficiency conduct great war. The
constitution provides every power and facility for
efficient prosecuting war.
"Nor is it possible to suspend part Of the con-
stitution and leave other parts in effect. Con-
stituton guarantees of personal liberty are never
suspended. If any one has any doubt about this
recommend that they read the case Of Milligan,
IN Indiana man, charged with treason during the
4.,:o ,t;n n no G,,J
ings approved by President Lincoln.
"The Supreme Court held that civil rights were
not suspended because the country was in state
Of war, and the arguments in favor Of suspending
them, based on slowness and inefficiency of other
procedures, are always used to excuse usurpation
Of power"
Senator Borah and Senator Johnson have been
the most staunch opponents of an unreasonable
censorship that would prevent legitimate discus
sion of war problems.

One of the cities of the country has instituted
a unique campaign having as it's solgan, "a thous-
and houses for thousand homes"
The idea is brilliant one. 1t signifies that not
only are homes desirable, but that each home
should enjoy house to ITSELF
It is one of the problems of American life that
whenever town grows swiftly, the housing prob
lem developes and we find two and three families
living under one roof; sometimes, in the case of
apartment houses, we find six and eight.
1t would be an ideal community where family
lived in a single house-and owned it. But the
millennium has not yet arrived.

MUST SETTLE THIS.
When the peace conference of the warning
nations of the world takes place, two things must
be settled and written into the international law
books.
These are the unwarned attacks by submarines
on merchant ships and the attacks Of air vessels
on towns.
Both are brutalities developed by twentieth
century @ciyilization." Both must be made i'm
possible for the future.

ANTi-DRAFT AGITATION.
Pa R IA ea
Agitation against the draft may be noisy in
spots, but in practical results it will be negligible.
A certain amount of this undoubtedly was to be
expected. The worst it can do is to give officials
little extra trouble.
There were draft riots during the Civil War,
yet they did not affect the struggle in the slight
est. Opposition against the draft today will be
quite as Intellectual

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
"a pa "a "a "a

German Socialists attending the Stockholm
conference will be hecked by their party conferees
from other lands. They will be asked to explain
long list of humanity infractions, including the
rape Of Belgium.
The idea may have far-reaching results When
the Germans attending the conference have it
dnned into their ears that the rest of the world
outside Of the central powers-ooks with horror
and disdain upon the actions of their government
in the war, they may 60 back with tempered
minds. And the reports they make at home may
have tendency to awaken their people to the true
aspects of the war situation.
As all opportunity to impress the Germans
with the error of their ways, the Stockholm con-
ference is unexcelled. Possibly it was an error
to prevent Americans from attending the confer
ence; we might have been able to get in few
words when everybody was listening that would
have done much good for our cause.

JUNEAU FIRM HAS FAITH IN
 TIE N0RTHLAND
Winter & Pond Has Not Hesltated To Spend Its Money For New
 Improvements

At an informal housewarminS this week number of Juneau resi- dents inspected the recent improve ments made to the Winter X Pond Studio, and were agreeably sur prised. The assertion that it com pares favorably with the best stu dios outside, is borne out by the facts.
 This firm" said Manager Thom- as GagnOn, lis showing it's faith in Juneau and Alaska. It has not hesitated to spend money and equip the best studio north of Seattle, be- cause of the war, because people have been leaving this fall like they leave every fall, and because of a number of stories which one hears repeated every season. Jul neau is all right; Alaska is all all right, and last, but not least, Winter & Pond firm is all right The people will come Hooking back next year. Spring will follow win ter and summer will follow spring. Alaska is too important a war asset to be neglected, and the next few years will see an industrial devel- opment little dreamed of"
 Practically the entire building on Main and First streets, known as the uptown store of Winter & Pond, has been remodeled Every corner of the maze of rooms is ar tistically finished and arranged. A new feature will be an alcove with an electric stove and sort of club room for employees, where they may heat a cup of coffee and get a lunch between times MT. Gag non believes in contented employees
 The present staff of Winter & Pond are: E. P. Pond, Lloyd Win ter, Thomas Gagnon, s. s. Gamsby, Wilfred Leivers, Miss Nellie Or cahrd, Mrs. Thelma Cupples.
