of the days of peace try to act according to the way we acted when not in the world It IS foolish to insist upon living the way we used to live.
 Likewise it is foolish to worry about the war One might as well worry about the Milky way or the rising and the setting of the sun-or the seasons. If is by all odds better accept it, to go about our way without argung about it, to think in war termG and not in peace terms. It will be time enough ioi us to try to adjust ourselves to peace when peace comes And peace will when it comes; all of our worrying will not bring it moment earlier.

On Tuesday next the citizens of Juneau must de- eide who shall handle the business affairs city for the next municipal term. city is a corporation involving community interests in which every indv- idual who is American citizen is a stockholder, and who will share in the benefits losses, There fore the first important thing is to select business management of known and tried ability.

 For the city election of Juneau two tickets are offered with their respective platforms, and are running independently. The citizens choose among these. The Empire has compared the two platforms and believes that the straightforward and clear-cut platform offered by the Citizens Ticket must appeal to those who desire to Juneau pro- gress and continue to be an important unit of the nations program. The heading the ticket are experienced in their different lines and their standing in the community insures administration of municipal affairs which will be both conserva- tive and progressive.
