The German New Freedom.
(Boston News Bureau.

One of the most reassuring signs from the Germany of today is the recognition of present realities, in a sensible resignation to after-war conditions which seems to be evinced by oc- easional utterances occurrences in the Father land The dream of imperial greatness found ed on force seems now to be quite extinguished. Which is a wise mood for Germany. and also good omen for world quite interested these times in plans pact for peace preserving.
 The recent German election appeared to fleet this dsillusoned and chastened mood So in it's way, the prompt and unconditional accept ance of the American peace treaty proposal, though such acceptance might be good diplomatic strategy. So, earlier. the attitude toward the League and Locarno.
 It is all along the line of abrupt cleavage from what the exile in Doorn typifed and im- posed. Quite significant lately though but little commented upon, was the falling from popular or because of their tactless visit to pay silly homage at Doorn
 Now another indication of the new atmosphere in the explicit declaration by the new Chancellor, Mueller, head of the Govern ment that modern Germany has divested herself or colonial ambitions. He puts the very practical grounds-that Germany so short of needed capital at home simply could not afford the unproftabe expense of investment in colon
 es, or even of mandates were it otherwise feasible. The former German colonies-for which Germany never showed anything like the British lapttude-were in themselvs costly burden HIS uecldrallon, altnouSn only according with the plain factors and necessities of the international situation, marks in spirit a final breach with the aspirations of the old militarstic regime The place in the sum-" as then con-
 celyed and threatened, is frankly renquished as an ambition. It is another repudiation of the Kaiser who with dream of world intrusion sent the Panther to Agadir in 1911 and fostered the prohtless adventures in the far or near East and in Africa
 Hstoflcaily Germany came the scene too nf tho aI1 1 is not much scope for it under modern world conditions even if the map were not already so well partitioned. And Germanys purse today could not stand assuming any white mans bur dehs or dubious profit possibility
 An enforced freedom from large army and navy spendings Is of the largest aids to derman ability to meet the Dawes Plan reonire ments, soon to reach their maximum German capacity IS left free to do it's best-whatever the other handcaps-in trade and merchant shin pihg. And Germany is wholly and doubtless ner- nahentiy free from the incubus of colonies

THE LITTLE WORLDS SERIES.

Following a successful three months baseball season Juneau will now have her Little Worlds Series to determine the 1928 championship be- tween the Elks and Moose. It will be an inter- esting contest and ought to attract lot of interest.
 And this suggests that the people of Juneau under large obligations to dhose who have made up four good baseball teams and enter tained the people of the City throughout the summer They have given the people three dozen baseball games in the pennant races, not to men, tion the extra games that have been played with outside eontenders the Fourth of July and other occasions. And it has been better amateur baseball than would expect from many players in small city.
 The season in Juneau has been divided into two parts that there might be a Little World s Series, such have had thus far each year. The Elks the first half of the 1928 season and the Moose the second half. Now those teams will play for the seasons championship
 The greater the interest in the series the better will be the contest, the people ought to support with good attendance this appropriate finishing of the seasons sport. Attendance is a large part of baseball. The larger the crowd the better will be the games. Let's give the play CTS the crowds.

Changes Idea on Smith.
(New York Times !

Albert Shaw, editor of the American Review or Reyiews yesterday offered to withdraw bis editorial charge that Gov. Smith. in his modi heation message to the Houston Convention. had iepualated his partys Prohibition plank
 ne oner was made to Senator Pittman of NeVada. Chairman of the Committee on Rosol,, tons at Houston, who, in letter to Dr Shaw said that the facts did not support the charge ana that the platform did not commit the na rtv against attempted modification

ARGUMENTS BASED ON UNTRUTHS.

It is really testimonial to the strength of the position of Gov. Smith that his opponents in attempting to find a base for their opposition assume many things for facts that not facts at all. They are making a mistake for it is not likely that the people will regard as authentic arguments which are based un- truths, and before the campaign is most if not all of the unruths will be exposed.
 It is sign of weakness that fabrcations, when expressed grabbed with avidity by the whole Prohibition outfit. Even the usually careful Christian Science Monitor is among those that are circulating facts things that not true. For instance on the editorial page of it's issue of August appears the following:
 Gov. Smith fatty repudiated the
 plank dealing with Prohibition, which
 was the chief subject of controversy in
 the Committee on Resolutions and stands as
 the matured expression of the wish of
 the convention. Both Smith and
 Raskob stand opposed to the Eighteenth
 Amendment, which the Houston platform
 upheld.
 That is not true in any particular, as all the members of the Resolutions Committee and all who followed closely the proceedings of the Houston Convention know
 The American Review of Reviews in it's com ment on the political situation contained a similar statement Senator Pttman Chairman of the Committee Resolutions at Houston wrote letter to Dr Albert Shaw editor of the magazine, in which he quoted from the tran scribed stenographic record of the proceedings of the Committee Resolutions and the Convention itself to prove that it not true Senator Pittman showed that Senator Glass author of the plank which referred to the Eighteenth Amend ment explained to the committee and particu- larly to Gov. Moody, member of the Committee, in plain words that the plank did not ''uphod'' the Eighteenth Amendment and bound no Demo- Prat oaplfa f.r thing except to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and all other constitutional pro- visions and laws enacted pursuant thereto as long as they the law It left them free Senator Glass said. to take such position on the amendment of the Constitution and laws as their conscience and judgment might dictate. Senator Glass said practically the thing in his speech to the convention prior to the vote on the plat form, and the platform was adopted with that matter thoroughly understood
 Dr. Shaw, after reading Senator Pittman's letter and the excerpts of the record he sent with it, replied that he was prepared to retract the statement that Gov. Smith had repudiated the Houston platform, because, he admitted he had not done so. To be exactly just the Christian Science Monitor ought also to ,retract it's state ment No expects the Anti-Saloon League or the K K. K. publications or even Bishop Cannon or the Methodist Episcopal Board oi retract. for they seem to count on deception as a part of their business. But it is not usually that way with the Christian Science Monitor.

More or Less True


 The way the modern daughter shies at broom and at the kitch- en range is the way the horse used to shy at the automobile.
 If father insists the plates be served from the kitchen when it is company dinner. it means it makes him nervous to have every body watching while he is serving.
 The more a man boasts out in public about the perfect cook and housekeeper his wife is, the safer the bet that he always is finding fault with her around home.
 Some men are game and to others having their wives suggest a picnic lunch out in the woods instead of Sunday dinner at home is almost as pleasant as having the dentist suggest the tooth be pulled instead of trying to save it.

THE DULLES WERE OUT AGAIN.

Gun and cub-armed Prohis were out on the roads again Saturday evening, stopping automo- piles, forcing people out of them and trying to search them. Fortunately, however, this thing has been going on so long that the people of Juneau learning something of their personal rights and last Saturday of the men from leading business houses refused to submit to being frisked by the bullies. The Prohis found no liquor other contraband result of their perncious meddesomeness They had no war rants Since search warrants may be procured when there is to believe that people are guilty of crime it is reasonable to believe that th Prohis had reason to those they held up. They were simply fishing for victims

HOOVER TO TAKE CHARGE.

The papers announce that Mir. Hoover will be at Washington about August 20 and that he will take personal charge of the Republican cam paign. He will not let Gov Smith have mon- opoly of this thing of running a Presidential election
 There is probably man in the country better qualified to organize party to meet the aggressiyeness of Gov Smith and MT. Raskob than MT Hoover himself. While he has neeyr before led a political campagn-at least he did so until he directed his own successful campaign for the nomination-he has been active or ganzer of to meet many other kinds of objectives and he has been very successful at it..
 MT Hoover is not to let others direct things in which he is interested. He has always taken charge in his own person. One cannot imagine his going off to Vermont like Pres- dent Coolidge did four years ago and letting Senator Butler take full charge even to the point of pledging party action. He has too many ideas of his own and his purpose toward them is too clear for him not to have the last say if not the whole say-regarding them

COTTON MANUFACTURING.

The disparity of eotton-manufacturing in the North and South great as at the present time. Each, South Carolina, which led North Carolina in production during the month of June, and North Carolina, nearly doubled Massaehusettts' June record. and each of them manufactured nearly much cotton the com bined output of all New England mills. Geor- gia which ranks third in the South and fourth in the country in cotton manufacturing, almost overlook Massachusetts in June.
 Measured by the conditions of the nineteenth century this is novel situation. In the old days Massachusetts alone produced than half of the cotton goods manufactured in the United States, and right behind the old Bay State came Rhode Island Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire. Alabama is next after Georgia now, and Virginia and Tennessee are becoming import ant cotton manufacturing States. Cotton maAu- featuring has become Southern industry.

Record of Alaskan Literature.

 In the Bibiography of Alaskan Literature compiled by the Hon. James Wickersham work of inestimabe value is presented to persons inter ested in any way in either the annals the activities of the Territory. The volume, of 635 pages, contains what is virtually complete list of the titles of books and other publications per taining to the history of the country, to travels and voyages in the northland and to newspapers periodicals and public documents printed in and about the priceless possession. The exhaustive work includes not only all records in the English language, but likewise all those in Russian German, French, Spanish and other languages Its period extends from 1724 the beginning of Museovte rule, to 1924-2OO years
 Judge Wickersham was eminenty qualified fo rthe task Early in the present century he was a United States jurist in Alaska and then for several terms the Territorys Delegate to Congress He began the compendium when he reach of the wonderful resources of the Library of Congress. The Alaskan Legislature recognized the worth of the research and authorized it's re- suits to be published by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, which is at Fair banks
 Information concerning Alaska may be scat tered to the four corners of the earth but Judge Wickersham has made the Knowledge available by scheduling it's diverse nature and naming it's many authors. He has performed fine service for both the casual nquirers and serious students His achievement will rebound greatly to the benefit of Alaska.

A PATHETIC PICTURE.

more pathetic picture has not been flashed before the public than that of the murderer Of Gen Obregon at his preliminary hearing when he said that the kindly and friendly smile of the great Mexican statesman nearly stopped him from staying, and then added that he was very sorry for not having though about the matter and for not having learned before what now know about the General
 Better testimony of the terrific loss that is Mexicos probably could not be adduced than this. Gen. Obregcn not only statesman and soldier but he kindly and friendly man, and now that he is dead, there are few who have 10 learn all that his life meant to his country. If he had lived he would have been President for six years-under the changed Constitution What might those six lyears have witnessed with one of his stature his strength, courage and honesty, and possessing in the degree he did the confidence of his ocuntrymen, at the head of a government?
