PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska, The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es SO often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- tion for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay- ment in advance.
 So, beginning Nay 1, sub scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.

Duty to Enforce, Obligation to
Observe.

after more than two generations Of
constant debate, our country adopted
system of national prohibition under
all the solemnities involved in ar
amendment to the Federal Constitu.
ton.
1n obedience to this mandate the
Congress and the States, with one OIL
two notable exceptions, have passed
required laws for it's administration
and enforcement.
This imposes upon the citizenship
of the country, and especially on all
public officers, not only the duty to
enforce, but the obligations to observe
the sanctions of this constitutional
provision and it's resulting laws.
"If this condition could be secured
all question concerning prohibition
would cease.
1.-THE Federal Government is max
ing every effort to accomplish these
results through careful organization,
large appropriations and administra-
tive effort.
Smuggling has been greatly cut
down, the larger sources of supply
for illegal sale have been checked.
and by means of injunction and Grim
inal prosecution the process of en-
forcement is being applied.
1.-The same vigilance on the part
of local governments would render
these efforts much more successful
"The Federal authorities propose
to discharge their obligation for en-
forcement to the full extent of their
ability."-From President Coolidge's
Message to Congress, December 6,
1927.

Cyrus Northrop Memorial

Minnesota University is Prepar-

S75O,OOO Gift Structure.-Me-
mortal to President for Many
Years.

Minneapolis, Jan. 4.-The Univers-
ity of Minnesota's long-considered
plan to build an auditorium as a
memorial to the late President Cyrus
Northrop and as a center for general
student gatherings, lectures, address
ses by distinguished visitors, and
other large meetings, is about to be
probably will be asked within the
next month or six weeks.
The auditorium will be the second
unit erected chiefly with money de-
rived by gifts pledged during the Sta
dium-Auditorium campaign conducted
in the fall of 1922. Out of funds then
given the Memorial Stadium has al
ready been built and has been in use
for four seasons. 1t was opened in
October, 1924.
approximately $75O,OOO is on hand
with which to build the auditorium,
a memorial to the man who was pres
ident of the university from 1885 I'M
til 1911. Nearly 100000 of this has
come in as payments on pledges made
during the campaign, to which sum
the university is adding enough from
other sources to make up the total.
The main structure of the auditorium
will be erected now, with several
large elements in the original plans
left out until additional pledges are
paid up.
1t will stand at the head of the
University Mall as designated in the
plans for a new campus outlined some
years ago by Cass Gilbert. Backing
up to the Minnesota Union it will oc-
cupy the ground now devoted to the
pharmaceutical gardens and will look
towards Washington Avenue down the
open space of lawn and trees which
is thanked on either side by such
buildings as the Library, Administra-
ton, Physics, and the School of Chem
istry. In this way it will enclose at
it's upper end the long quadrangle of
campus which is to be the Mall.
Meanwhile the department of phys

The Field House will be ready for
occupancy some time in February.
It's exterior dimensions are approx

imum interior height 100 feet from

it will have ample room for foot
