The people of Alaska are facing crisis. They confronted with the necessity for a decision to whether they will be guided by the spirit opt- mism which has prevailed for the last five six years whether they will return to the grouchy days of the decline which followed the locking up the Territory, when majorties voted against people and against propositions rather than for progressive men and for constructive plans The burdens of con dtons bearing down heavily and the temptation to get somebody for hardship is great The land is filled with petty politicians lazy fellows with small minds and little enterprise who have no constructive policies and easy berths thrive only when dsconten stalks about, who have been try ing for time to produce condition of turmoil. They men who do not fear stagnaton because they sagnant Community progress nothing to them because they know not how to progress. They opposed to community growth because their i'm portance is greater under shrinking conditions than growing. These working with all the spirit they possess to manufacture discomfort. The fates which have taken many of enterprising and pat rioc citizens off to fight for their country in the time of it's need has added the numerical importance of these little souls
 This is condition which makes it necessary for those who have come to this country to live and to tion here take counsel and to cooperate Every dollar that has been invested in Alaska, every bus- that has been developed, every home that has been established, every good position created by en- terprise all the institutions of civilization, in jeopardy It would be easy matter to set Alaska back for another years The danger that there may be period of destruction is great.
 Not in half dozen years has there been time when it necessary for those forward-ooking and women who striving with all their might to improve conditions in this Territory to face the future, with purpose strong and upper lip stiff and stand shoulder to shoulder, by their guns Let every who is for Alaska fight to retain all that has been gained during the years of prosperity that have been to keep the of the shipofstate true on it's and to maintain the headway that has been prevailing.
 The Empire believes that majority of the peo pie of Alaska sound that they purposeful that they anxious to accomplish something for cviliza tion and for their own. The necessary thing foI them to do in order to get results is to stand to- gether and hold fast.

WASHINGTON'S HOUSING PROBLEM
(St. Louis Republic)


 survey just completed by the housing and health division the War Department shows that 263l3 new civilian employees of the government will nave to DC provided with homes in Washington between now ana January l. 1919 than one-half Of the number before July l. addition there will be 2,630 mem bers of the families of these employees and lO53 o cers and their families making total of 3l,575 new people to take of, in addition to the 5O,oo0 or added to the population of the District of CouM ba since the began.
 careful estimate of all available accommodauons in the city shows that by utilizing every roof to its capacity 14,600 be taken care of leaving 1895 find homes. This estimate does not include hordes of transient visitors to the capital who have put hotel and roomnghouse accommodations al a premium for many months past
 To add to the difficulty, it is stated that private building in Washington has almost ceased. While me normal building operations for year are l200 fouses and apartments, permits have dropped in tue last six months 130 houses and apartment
 The conclusions reached by those making the sur vey are that funds and the to corupand- private residences for the of the government enacted by Congress, the housing facilities will be exhausted by May 1st by June 1st all facilities hat can be made available without new buildings will be exhausted It will take not less than two months to build temporary dormitories and four months to build houses Unless relief is afforded soon, the government fears it will have difficulty in getting the help necessary carry it's war operations to go Washington
 The estimate takes account of the large num- Der of persons other than government employees, who will go the city provide food shelter store ser vice. etc. for the increased population.

LEX ANGARIA
(New York World )

(NeW York WOrld)
 Americas seizure of the Dutch ships is based on regulation which had it's origin more than 24OO years ago. When Cyrus the Great, $50 years before Christ, instituted system of mounted cour1ers to carry the imperial dispatches to distant parts of the Persian empire he initiated a service which in the evolution of the centuries became the modern postal organization. The Romans adopted the system and extended it throughout the empire,
 To prevent any interruption of the service law enacted making the supply of horses compulsory on the inhabitants of the regions through which the messengers passed, and the Emperor alone was em powered to grant exemption from this duty. Under Constantine heavy vehicles were employed and horses requisoned and in course of time the word an gariare,' originally from Persian term signfyiDg a courier, applied to any enforced of animals things in the service of the State corresponding to the word used to denote enforced human labor
 Compensation agreed upon later and it be settled principle of international law that bel gerents could seize and kind of property of neutrals wherever found in order to to prevent seizure by the enemy for the same purpose. Many abuses crept in and international ac tions for recovery of damages by private persons corporations have filled the higher of several countries for than two hundred years Finally in 1S99 the peace convention of The Hague realizing the necessity of regulations adopted provision that railway plants, telephones telegraphs steamship and sailing vessels though belonging to companies and pri vate persons, may be used for military purposes but must be restored the conclusion of peace and pensation must be paid for loss damage Thus the taking Dutch ships today is only sanctioned by international law but has its origin in custom older than Christianity itself.

THE POOR MILLIONAIRE.
Philadelphia Record. )

Itttol U. Deal gently with the millionaire; Perhaps he does his best. Please do not drive him to despair With rude, unfeeling jest. Don't laugh at pictures that display His phiz with comic leer, And when he gives his wealth away, Don't take it with a sheer. What if he does possess some bonds; A million, more or less; The work of clipping off coupons May cause him sore distress. So when the millionaire you meet, Don't pass him by with scorn, But grant smiling nod, and greet Him with a gald Good morn" Think kindly of the millionaire; He has his share of woe, And though for him you may not
 care,
 Don't ever let him know. Give him a friendly word or two; Twill do him lots of good; Just act as if you never knew
 His source of livelihood. Have pity on the millionaire;
 If you did only know The irksome burdens he must bear. You'd not despise him so. You may be rich yourself, some day Then you will feel the sting Of cruel things the folks will say Because you're prospering. Don't be so proud; The millionaire Sure has a right to live And feel the sun and breathe the air And keep his coin or give. The crime of having cash to spare Is awful, it is true Yet, do not curse the millionaire, He's human, just like you.

JUNEAU MoURNS A LITTLE FRIEND

All Juneau saddened yesterday by the an nouncement of the death of Curtis Fremming of diph- theria. For years the little chaps frank blue eyes curly locks and sunny face had been familiar to the vision of those who used the streets of the capital and they failed to bring out the best in those who beheld them. He everybody's friend and everybody his friend. An afflicton in babyhood had deprived him of the of hearing, and a result he could not talk But his smiles and winsome and generous good nature called forth for him an affection that must have been recompense in large measure for that which others had but was denied to him.
 Little Curtis regular visitor at The Empire office during all the years from the of it's es- establishment until his last illness called him to his home to leave it in life. There was no spot in the establishment from which he barred There scarcely day that he did not appear some romp through the editorial and business es. the composing and press cheeriy greet The Empire makers and to be greeted in return in like manner He had places in the hearts of all
