THE SHAME OR GLORY OF JUNEAU

The Subsidized Juneau Empire takes pardon
able pride in the statement that the Independ-
ent Legislative ticket received more than two
to one vote in the Capital City over the Repub-
lican ticket. And for this result due credit is
deserved and must be accorded to the influence
of the Empire, aided by few corporation at
torneys and handful of professional politicians
who largely control the official family of the
Capital City. Any of the readers of the En-
pre repeatedly declare that cannot believe
a thing political that reads in that Organ.
That is true, but the other hand there a
great many of the readers who cannot, but who
DO believe practically everything they fed
by this Democratic newspaper.
It must be admitted and cannot be successful
ly denied, that Editors Troy and Pegues and
incidentally Editor Stroller White, with few
of the Corporation hirelings set the standard
for things generally in Juneau. They issue the
orders and a few faithful herders are always
willing and anxious to gather into the fold the
obedient sheep who gambol on Chicken Ridge,
and who wander in the low lands. The
newspapers create the sentiment from which is
garnered the votes that endorse the various
municipal and Territorial schemes, Matched by
the aforementioned dictators, and often with
the able assistance ofthe two notoriously willy
plotters, Donohoe and Dimond, who are becom-
ing the real representatives of the Big Interests
and the dispensers of their Doodle funds.

BY Will A. Steel

We believe this vote to be fair statement
of facts and insist that the Subsidized Empire
is very largely responsible for the warped view
point that is held by such large majority OF
the people of Juneau They look for and &C.
cept the guidance of this Organ in framing
their opinions of people and issues. And the
conduct of these editors, in their daily-and
nightly-lves is accepted as the standard to
be followed by the good Christian people, in
Guiding the children, of the community 1t may
be insisted by some that in giving estimate
of conditions it should in all fairness be stated
that during the past campaign and also in many
previous campaigns the Empire has deliberate
ly lied and deceived it's readers, and that the
Editors are openly violators of laws.
But not going into details and so
state but generalities. The public know
all the despicabe and unpleasant facts. Yet
than half the people of Juneau blindly
follow these leaders, Whether it be to their

guide" To the free and fair-minded people of
Juneau who voted for the Republican candi-
dates a deep gratitude is felt by these success

public service They have only pity and COM

continually led astray by the gang of parasites

ISOLATION. explains:
THE Knox trophy and the Knox
medal are both awards offered by
the Sons OF the Revolution IN
Massachusetts,. Up to two years
ago the award OF the trophy was
made annually to that battery Of
the regular army field artillery,
which excelIed in firing. For the
last two years, however, a more
elaborate system Of scoring bat
teries has been evolved, based on
firing. mobility, communications
and interior economy. so that now
the award goes annually to the
best all-around battery.
1.-THE Knox medal IL awarded an.
nually to the non-commissioned Of
ficer. who has attained the highest
proficiency at the field artillery
school. In instituting the awards
the Sons OF the Revolution In the
Commonwealth OR Massachusetts,
have expressed their purpose, to
perpetuate in enduring bronze the
name and fame or Maj Gen. Henry
Knox, father of the American ar
tillery; chief OF arxfllery Of the Rev
dictionary Army; and. after Wash
ington, the first commander of the
United States Army, the first Sec
rotary of War, the founder OF West
Point, and the Springfield armory."
alligator Coat Best
After a years test OF several
types Of raincoats, the board has
come to he conclusion that the al
ligator" type coat Is much superior
for use by field artillery soldiers.
This type of coat not only retains
its waterproofing characteristics for
a. longer time, but Is OF light weight
and easily carried in the roll Of the
soldier.
The Bureau Of the Budget allowed
$2,240, 900 for pay and allowances
for training Of the reserve officers
in 1927, which sum is supposed to
provide for training Of more than
16, 900 reserve officers of the Army.
In the item for mileage there was
q, reduction OF $4,000 or about 6
per cent below the 1926 figures.
The item for maintaining head
quarters and for preparing and
operating camps was increased by
SIS, 10000, most OF which will provide

GIRLS WILLING.
To Be SOLD

LONDON, Jan. 49, Dispatches
from various Baltic States declare
that hundreds of girls from Russia
are being sold to rich Argentines
and BraziliansA
1t is said thar beautiful girl
brings as much as $4,000 cash
down.
Isatvian immigration officers re-
Gently noticed than an extTaordi-
narily large number of handsome
girls had been arriving from Russia
on their way to South America ana
that they were accompanied by non
descript husbands.
Visits frequent
1T was also observed that these
husbands were appearing every
few months with a new beautifuI
wife. Their visits become so IRE.
quent that investigation followed.
The I4atvian police now believe
that they have discovered a colos.
sal white slave organization whose
headquarters are in Moscow.
These pretty girls are mainly
Russians. but It seems there are
also some Poles and Rutherians.
When questioned, some Of the
girls told the officials that they
were overjoyed at the possibility Of
leaving Russia, and when It was
limited that they might become
white slaves they retorted. Better
white slave iii South America
than the hungry plaything Of the
Communists in Russia.
Bring Big Prices
According to details obtained BY
the Latvian police. white slavers
sell the girls 1t prices varying
from SIS 900 to SIS 900 In South
America
Hundreds OF girls are passing
through the port OF Riga alone
every month and 1t is believed that
thousands have already been trans
ported by sIavers.
Under the Communists regime in
Russia, the slavers have little diff
ficulty in marrying" several wives
each year and then accompanying
them abroad.
And while the Latvian police are
practically certain that hundreds OF
girls are passing through their
country, destined for q life Of
shame, because of lack Of definite
proof they are unable to take
action.
Investigations however, are pro-
ceeding and 1t Is hoped an end viii
be put to this shameful traffic.
