CRAMER BAKERY To
BUILD SPLENDID.
new PLANT HERE

Information on another addition
to Ell Centre s industries, has been
received here from the Cramer Bak-
ing Company of San Diego, which
will build separate plant here in
the near future to supply it's val
ley customers.
Writing to A. p. Nuffer, of the
Nuffer Land Company, which re-
Gently sold the bakery land on Main
street, IL. T. Cramer, president, ad-
vises that building will start in the
near future on the lot just east of
Imperial avenue and on the north
side of Main street, extending
through to Broadway.
The building will be 105 by 100
feet, set back from Main street suf-
ficiently to permit the maintenance
of garden with lawn and shrub
berry. All of the principal operations
of bread making will be visible
from the front windows, to give
every passerby an opportunity at
any time, to watch its manufacture.
At first the capacity of the plant
will be 1,500 pounds of bread an
hour. Owing to the unique construc,
tion of the building, and the large
lot, it will be possible to double the
capacity with ease.
The building will represent a
total investment of $4,000 and
the plant will employ about 20
people at the start with a payroll
of $4,000 yearly.
One feature of the building will
be large humidifier and cooling
plant which will keep rooms in the
bakery at temperature of 80 de-

Both Ends of the Stick.

 Harold J. Lask in The New Republic, dis agrees with two other recent observers of the American scene. Hare Belloc reported some time ago that this country is "a land of joy. Edouard Herriot found us the happiest people on earth. MT. Laski, the other hand, believes that America is compacent but not happy Our riches do not satisfy us. Else why should we be yearning eagerly for art, poetry and philos- ophy? The generosity of our wealthy is, in part, "a pathetic striving to attain self respect that mere possessions do not confer"
 This is truly being damned if we do and damned if we don't. If neglected art and learning should be crass materalists If we endow them, only pathetcally seeking escape from materalism. But in that how can one he certain of the merchant princes of the Italian Renaissance and the wealthy burghers who fostefed Flemish and Dutch art? Were they to he pitied congra talated in their time?
 Welding both ends of the stick has been made peculiarly easy by the new psychology of repression, escape, inferorty complex and the rest Today things may be done because we like them or because don't The ancient Greeks thronged to games because they were full of the joy of life. We flock to the stadums because we sad If thrifty Puritanica generation admired MT. Coolidge, it would be be- cause he like itself. When free-spending easy going generation admires MT. Coolidge it is because he pleases "vicariously." Everything is today explainable, either because or because not.

MAKING NEW RECORDS.

It if the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company is always trying to establish new records for itself. For several years pas it has annually set up new high-total production marks only to smash them the succeeding year. Nine teen twenty-seven its finest 12-month period from a standpoint of operations. It mined, tram med and mied more than in any previous year and it's gold recovery also highest on record. Now it is apparently going out after new yield marks. The statements of President F. w. Bradley and Superintendent L.. H. Metzgar which announced a new profit record for Jan uary and that this in fair way to be sur passed by operations during, the current month the finest kind of news for Juneau. The company has gone through many lean years, kept its property in the best of condition and given employment to hundreds of employees only through the efficiency of it's forces backed by the courage of the management. Local people will rejoice at the improvement evidenced by late reports Nor will their pleasure be entirely unselfsh. The employment furnished by the Company constitutes the backbone of the towns prosperity and anything which betters the com pany is equally beneficial to Juneau

 If Frank J. Goodnow President of the Johns Hopkins University retires before the end of this year, he has announced he will do Am erican education will lose a valuable man. And it will lose rather unusual In an age when the university president tends more and leg puler of Legislatures and go-getter of money, this tall, gaunt man, with his reserve of manner yet curousy brutal directness of state mert has seemed the very anththesis of the mod ern type, And his thinking has been far from the norm his personality.
 Democracy" he said occasion "may be all right in government. But it has place in university. At least it has no place in university like Hopkins. It is the duty of the State l suppose, to provide education for all its citizens. and for that the State uni versity must accept all who apply for admission. But at Hopkins concerned with knowledge, and knowledge may not be proftably pursued by every boy who happens to want a university de- gree. From on, in order to maintain the high standard that we have set for ourselves, we shall have to select those whom will educate"
 And with this idea he has run his univer- sity. Oddly enough, this involved going straight back to the ideals of it's founders. After period of rah-rah spirit and emphasis the under graduate, it practically abolished the under austere reaches of advanced work What it will do now may be sure will be subject of interested speculation for time to come.

TIME IS REQUIRED.

This weeks news regarding progress in plans for initiating activities in the contemplated es- tabishment of a pulp and paper manufacturing industry in this vicinity has been of the most , encouraging nature. The program that leads to the establishment has been definitely started Many thousands of dollars will be expended in engineering studies of various kinds this year. It would be wise, however, for all of to bear in mind the words of MT B F. Hentzeman in connection with the project. He said among other things
 Paper making plants of the size
 and type all hope to get in Alaska
 entail huge expenditures and necessarily
 an orderly and detailed study of the fac
 tors involved must be made before
 beginning of construction work be
 looked for. These studies require much
 time and projects still in this
 investigation stage
 Thus, if the decision of the Cameron Chandler inersts to plant construction tardy in being made known, there is cause for dis couragement for impatienee the part of local people. minimum investment of some $10,00O ,000 is required for the projected plant and equipment here. Those who furn- ishing the funds must first of all be satisfied there is good chance for it to earn interest and for it's protection. The only method of obtaining that knowledge is through thorough studies made by competent engineers As MT Heintzeman pointed out in AThe Empire pre- lilnnaryy investigations have already been con ducted and their results were. so satisfactory that money readily forthcoming for the necessary detailed surveys Had the original investigators not been reasonably convinced that the proposed development practical and based on sound business opportunities, the entire mat ter would have been dropped at the conclusion of their work. Juneau has every to be content with the progress that has been made and optimistic as to the outcome of the inves- tgatons that will be made during the remainder of the year.

 President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State the other day addressed great audience in Philadelphia, at Independence Hall He stood, uncovered, before the Liberty Bell. He said: Liberty in all parts of the world echoes what was done here. As we approached this great hall l saw the statue of William Penn, founder of this city He loved liberty. You have achieved here the ambition of my own land The people are housed and in possession of their own homes, and the home is the center of civilization. We have come to this historic city bringing a mes sage of peace and good will, love and affection. It IS not possible to make tighter the bonds of affection between this country and mine We are one family"
 In America like to realize the truth of this statement America and Ireland have been always in affinity. Both lands love liberty with an almost fanatical devotion. This people love and revere the courage, the heroism, the splendor of the sacrifice which constitute Ireland's nobles tradition. The nation has striven to make Presi- dent Cosgrave welcome. We believe he has been made to realize the verity and warmth of that welcome We hold, with him, that Irish and Americans constitute family

What's the Use?

He thought he was very smart guy, but he knows better now. Getting up in the morning was the hardest part of his day's work and his greatest ambition was to be able to roll over and go to sleep again after the alarpl went off. To kid himself into thinking he was doing it he bought two extra alarm clocks. He set the first one to go off an hour before he really had to pile out and the second one a half hour ahead of the one whose ring meant business. His fear was that he would get so used to sleeping through the ringing of the first two and that he would do the same with the third Tbu'
 what really happened was that every morning for week he got so wide awake when the first one went off he couldn't get back to sleep-which explains why the ash man found two alarm clocks in his trash can.

GOVERNMENT BY PARTY.

Speaker Longworh has behind him the weight of experience and the lessons of the history of our country when he argues for party responsibility in government And recent polit- cal developments do not detract from the force of his argument. The theory of party respon- sibility is sound and it has been proven practical through all the stages of growth from the very initiation of this republic down to today. The character of our political structure requires that responsibility be centered upon some organization for effectiveness of governmental functioning and it becomes dangerously weakened where parties disintegrate to a degree that makes this im- possible
 Though government by the people they can only express their will through or the other of the big political parties This they do variously in municipal, county, state or national election as the case may be. Upon the party they return to power they depend to carry out their mandates. That, of course. is roughly the theory of government by party It is therefore easy to be seen that the breaking up into blocs of party organizations upsets the theory and makes it impossible to put it into practical eff feet The present situation in the Senate illus trates the effect of the failure of party responsi bilfty Nominally the Republican Party controls that branch q Congress.
