Our old friend Jiggs has gone

In today's issue of The Empire,
the sad, sad story is told.

ran it up into a house full of SER
wants and art treasures, has drop

plunge into the real OF movie AN
gels and beginning tomorrow, Jiggs
will be looking for job.
What will Jiggs do? VIII he
shoulder a hod again?
What will Maggie do? VIII she
return to the tub?
What will Nora do? VIII she
become a waitress?
Yes, Jiggs mas gone nat broke.
And in the case of Jiggs, broke
means broke Not the comparative
poverty of the citizen who has to
sell his half dozen cars, put his
wife's diamond in retirement for a
while, revoke his subscription to the
opera and cancel the dinner dance
he was going to give his daughter
on Thanksgiving night, but the real
thing. Jiggs who for years kept a
working balance at the bank nearly
as big as Henry Ford's and ate
corned beef and cabbage not be-
cause he had to eat it but because
he preferred it before terrapin and
guinea hen, is down now to hard
pan in the fullest sense of that
fearsome expression. He has no
where to go bat out and can't go
there because he Is there already,
having been given the freedom OF

hearted landlord to whom all non
paying tenants look alike.

Exclusive of Sitka and Haines,
incorporated towns In Southeastern
Alaska in yesterdays special cleo
ton voted overwhelmingly for
division of the Territory, returns
from six towns giving 1854 votes
for and SO against the proposition.
No election was held at Sitka, where,
1t was said, notification of the spec
ial election came too late, and no
figures on the Haines vote were re-
ceived. but there not a single op-
posing ballot was cast. Juneau's
vote was 401 for and "a against di-
vision.
With the exception of Wrangell,
where the vote of the last muni-
cipal election was exceeded, the
vote in the special election was
about half of the normal municipal
vote. Reports said this was largely
due to the fact that the result was
a foregone conclusion together with
lack of any organized campaign
to get out the voters.
