AMERICAN FLAG
 WAVING ALWAYS

Today is Flag Day and from the masts on the various build ings in Juneau and from staffs on various grounds, Old Glory is waving.
 Regarding the flag, the follow ing appeared in Golfers, May 5. 1917, written by the late Frank lin K. Lane, and no better sen- timents could be written:
 l am the days work of the weakest man, and the largest dream of the most daring.
 I am the Constitution and the courts. statutes and statute mak- CTS, soldier and dreadnought, dray- man and street sweep, cook, coun- sellor and clerk.
 am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow.
 am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why.
 am no more than what you believe me to be, and I am all that you believe I can be.
 My stars and my stripes are your dreams and your labors.

man who crawled and dawled through life.
 He declared there were men in the United States today of 80, 90 and between 90 and 100 years of age who were still in good health and actively engaged in business, whereas men who had retired early from business had shortened their lives thereby.
 He thought the crawl of the dawd- Ter was largely instrumental in short ening the lives of individuals in Great Britain-that the more man worked, whether professionally or in other vacations. the more he would conserve his life and strength and the life and commerce of the country

DIvORCES; PROHIBITION; C0NGESTED
 LIVING CONDITIONS RESPONSIBLE.
 FOR GREAT INCREASE IN SUICIDES

NEW YORK, June 14.-Divorces, congested living conditions, and en actment of the 18th amendment are given as probable causes for the alarming increase in the number of suicides in 1920, according to re- ports received by officers of the Save-a-Life-League, with offices in this city. Dr. F. L., Hoffman, sta tistician of the organization, esti- mates the number at not less than 12,000. Of these reported cases 707 were children, he said, the boys av eraging 15 years, the girls 16.
 Rev. Harry Warren. president of the sleague. also declares that restric. tions in sale of narcotic drugs helped to swell the total of unfortunate.s who died by their own hands.
 Dr. Warren cites many trivial causes as the impelling force for suicide. One man was distressed because his new suit did not have enough buttons on the sleeves of the coat. Another man rebelled at eat ing lemon pie his wife had con structed out of turnips and glucose A youth killed himself because he was asked to eat ham and eggs for supper A woman became morbid because her husband refused to par take of her clam chowder. A cou' pie disputed over whether the bed room window should be opened an inch or not less than two feet al night. The wife's argument pre- vailed, and the man killed himself
 Many of the suicides reported were among prosperous individuals and Dr. Hoffmap argues that no one

Special to The Empire)

KETCHIKAN, June 14.-The< Ter. ritory and the Juneau Commercial Association lost the first phase of their fight against section 27 of the Jones bill when Judge Robert ". Jennings upheld the constitutional. ity of the law in question in g de. cision handed down in the U. s. District Court here last night.
 Judge Jennings denied the ap- plcation of Attorney General John Rustgard for 8 temporary restrain ing order against the Collector of Customs John w. Troy from en. forcing the provisions of the said section in connection with . test shipment of merchandise to the Ju- nean Hardware Company.
 The case was opened tn the U.i 8.

The motion was argued last Friday before Judge Jennings who reserved his decision until yesterday.

ALASKA LEGISLATION IS DISCUSSED
 BY MEMBERS OF CABINET; PRESIDENT
 MAY BE GIVEN MUCH MORE AUTHORITY

WASHINGTON, June l4.-lt is understood that the adpinistration favors legislation that will strength on the powers of the President in dealing with certain Alaskan Ques- tions.
 This subject was discussed at to- days meeting of the Cabinet.
 It developed that the hands of the Federal Government is tied to some extent by the fact that the agencies dealing with Alaska are widely scat tered among the government depart ments.
 After the Cabinet meeting it was indicated that the administration g support will be thrown behind some specific measure to bring all these powers directly under the President.
 Such bill will probably be passed at the next session of Congress.
 In recent letter to Repre- sentative Charles F. curry, relative to the measure introduced by the latter, Secretary Fall outlines his idea of such legislation in which he suggests that authority be given a single department to take control of Alaskan affairs and handle the Ter ritory as a business proposition.
 In part, Secretary Fall said:
 "To avoid friction between the difference of views. being urged upon Congress in the consideration of any proposed transfer or allocatiOn of powers, therefore suggest to you the advantages of vesting in the President of the United States the authority to allocate powers. duties and authority of the different depart ments and bureaus now exercising any control in Alaska.
 'I realize the objections to such measure as might be incorporated in a bill drawn up on the lines of some sections of the Overman act and of the Alaska railroad act in the mat ter of stability
 "In my judgment 1t would be bet ter to vest such authority in one of Iuo pIcScnt ucpdiluiOhIo VI tHio 6O' ernment and allow such department. under legislations enacted by con- gross, to handle all Alaskan business as a business enterprise for the peo- pie of Alaska and the people of the United States.
 Sees Little Grounds
 Consideration of such last men toned Legislation would bring out the different divergent views of the present departments and their bureaus, however, and possibly re- suit in no legislation whatsoever.
 'T can see no reason why any de- partment or bureau should object to yesting authority in the President of the United States, with power in him to vest in any one department or in the different departments or to transfer bureaus from one depart mont to another. and to handle the Alaska problem as business matter insofar as the development of the natural resources of Alaska are con- cerned.
 ,eThe one objection to this plan, as I have said, is that any president might, of course, under such powers from time to time change his pre- vious orders or directions and his successor might effect an entirely

quoted in the Journal of the Washing

said:
If textiles were standardized, so that

suffers. 1t is not that the persons back
ing this movement would bar shoddy
and lower grades of materials from the
market. There is place and a demand
for such goods. But they should be sold
at prices which are honestly based on
quality rather than appearance.
The demand for the better class of
goods will increase. rather than dimin-
ish, when honest labelling of all textiles
is required. Many persons who would
like to have the best now hesitate to
pay the high prices asked, for the simple
reason that they are far from sure that
the goods are up to standard.
Honesty is the most satisfactory all
round policy in textiles as it is in every
thing else.
