ST. JAMES READY
TO INSTALL MAINS

The st. James City Council took a
long look into the future at it's regu-
lar meeting last week and ordered a
carload of 4-inch cast iron piping to
be used in putting in new water
mains and in connecting up many of
the dead ends in the city. Action was
taken on the advice of Engineer E.
G. Minder, who stated that the price
is as low as it will be for some time.
The council also notified property
owners to get busy if they wish to
connect with the city water system
and have the use of the new water
supply. They stated that it was ad-
visable to do this work while the
ditching machine was still in st.
James.

There was a Fourth of July after math in town last week. In a build ing out on the old Collins dock, lives a Daisy" At times for some weeks past she has run a sort of first-class bedlam, so much so that it annoyed the neighbors very much. In a drunken carousal the night of the third, or morning of the Fourth, the racket became unbearable and Fred
 Camper had the Daisy brought into court to answer for the disturbance. She plead guilty and 1t cost her s31. Then the Daisy was mad, and swore out warrant against two young men from the West Coast. The young men were brought in, and pleading guilty to helping the Daisy disturb

The United States prosecuted Dr. H. c. DeVighne last week, through the instigation of Mrs. NJ. B. Peter son, of Shakan, on a charge of fur nishing liquor to an Indian, but a jury of twelve men said the doctor was not guilty. A half-breed patient at Shakan sent an order for medicine over to the doctor on the Fourth by an Indian woman. Whiskey was prescribed and given in trust to the woman to deliver to the patient. Mrs. Peterson who roomed at the ho- tel with the Native, got hold of the bottle, took it to Commissioner Slane, made complaint and a warrant was issued. But the jury decided that doctor had right to prescribe any medicine that he thought would be beneficial to patient, to Indians as well as whites.

VOLSTEAD ACT INIQUITIES IN
 ALASKA.

A well known Juneau business man, one of the most highly respected American citizens of this community, who has a house on Glacier Highway from which he rides to his business and work each morning, stopped the road by Prohibition enforcement agents Thursday morning, who searched his car, presumably for contraband liquor, before they would let him proceed on his way. Of course no liquor other contraband found. The business man, who has a wife and children and hosts of friends, was simply driving from home to store, and com pelled to submit to the insult and humiliation
 That is a sample of the Volstead Act and the methods of it's enforcement. It is only fair to say that the Supreme Court of the United States, by five to four decision, has held that Pro hibtion enforcement agents have the authority under the law to stop an automobile and search it without having warrant However, that does not by any means lessen the outrage in- volved in raping the rights of American cti- zens. It is only another instance added to thousands on thousands that have created de- mand for the modification of the yolstead Act

INTENSE INTEREST IN THE ELECTION

Only a curscry reading of the newspapers and magazines and conversations with those who travel are necessary to demonstrate that the in- terest in the present Presidential election contest throughout the country is tremendous. It exceeds the interest in any campaign of recent times. Not since 1896, at least has anything apporach- ing it been witnessed The colorful candidates and the widespread disgust with the intolerable conditions of lawlessness, disorder and dsrespect for law, growing out of the Volstead Act and the efforts to enforce it, mostly responsible for the interest
 No more appealing characters than those of Gov. Smith and MT Hoover ptted against each other for the Presidency Both orphans in early childhood, of obscure parents One of them began life the side walks of workingmen's district in Americas greatest workingmen's center, to the Gov ernorship of the Empire State and three times reelected, holding for four times the end highest executive office of his country. The other to fortune and fame through his hardly acquired profession a mining engineer which he practiced in foreign lands for more than two decades-his fame finally reaching his homeland and producing prideful and enthus- iasticly favorable reaction This followed by public service of very high order
 Two such candidates, complicated by the in- tense disgust with Volseadism, departure from principles of government old as the Consti- tuition, for which the American people, to say the least, not prepared and against which there is altogether too much sentiment to make enforcement practicable create a condition that will hold the debatabe interest of most of the people until long after the votes of the next election counted and the successful nominee inducted into office.
 Under the circumstances a newspaper that does not attempt to keep it's readers informed to the presentation of the issues and the development of the campaign is not performing the functions of a general newspaper. It is re- strictng itself to narrow field.

TAKING THE CHURCH OUT OF
 POLITICS AGAIN.

Bishop Warren A. Candler, Senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, wrote a very strong letter to those Bishops of his church who are trying to take their cloth and church into the political campaign. He shows that they are departing from the traditions of Methodism in the South. His letter reviews the history of the Church, showing that from the beginning even during the dark days of reconstruction down to the present the Methodist Bishops have set their faces resolutely against entrance into politics until of them became enmeshed with the Anti-Saloon League and followed it into the game. It was in 1865 that the Bishops of the Church, during the days when carpet baggers putting the intoerable recon struction policy, in church letter declared:
 Know your high calling Preach
 Christ and Him erucifed. Do not preach
 politics. You have commission to
 preach politics. The divinity of the
 Church is strikingly display
 ed than when it holds on it's ever
 straightforward way in the midst of
 worldly commotions.

 From this established and scriptural position Of my church I feel no disposi- ton to dissent depart It is in agreement with the words of our Lord when he witnessed His good confession before Pontius Pilate, My kingdom is not of this world" John xviii 36).
 l propose to abide unfalterngly by this principle, discharging conscientious ly my duties a citizen and fulfilling with fidelity my commission a min ister of Jesus Christ. On that I stand. l cannot do otherwise

The fact that of the supporters of Gov Smith complain that The Empire is only present. ing the Hoover side of the National Presidential campaign and that some of the supporters of Mr Hoover complain that it is presenting only the Smith side suggests two things-frst that there is great interest in the campaign and next, that The Empire is succeeding fairly we'll in what it is attempting to do-to present the situa- ton it really is

More or Less True

Friendships are made by liking the same things or by hating the same people.
 A woman can love a homely man and even a brute but she draws the line at a tightwad
 Some skirts look like they were designed to show how far up her stockings go and how far down other things come.
 It makes a wife as mad for her husband to give her age away as it does him for her to give away the old suit he was wearing on his fishing trips.
 A cynic is an old grouch who thinks if wives would give their meal tickets less Hail Columbia they would give them more candy, flowers and apple sauce.
 Some women get as much pleas ure out of complaining as some men do out of bragging.
 Every man makes a fool of him. self at times, but the woman with the resigned look on her face is the wife of one who devotes all his time to it.
 Some men enjoy the, first part of their married life because it is during these years their wives are eating to get fat instead of diet ing to get thin.
