THE CHAMBERS ANNUAL DRIVE.

With two objectives in vew-raising S6,000 for its work this year and greater and more diversified membership the Chamber of Com merce will launch it's drive early this week. Last year by public subscription it raised about 5000 all of which expended for the benefit of the city. It's membership boosted to 215, the largest number in the history Of the organi- zaton This year it's drive should result i'll more liberal subscriptions and it should not be difficult to raise the membership figure to at least 25o and possibly 300.
 complete resume of the work Of the Cham Der will be forthcoming this week from Secretary Boyle. Nineteen twenty-seven of the busiest years in it's history It carried forward work already begun and initiated other aetiyi- ties. The consummaton of several of it's aims was achieved notably the construction of the Juneau Cold Storage Company's plant, re- building of the local sawmill and initiation of work on the Government dock. Other matters were forwarded also, which will be brought out by the Secretary's detailed report to be made public coincident with the drive.
 The Chambers program for this year is worthy of note The nine main objectves set for attainment are:
 Definite action the construction
 of the Territorial capitol building,
 To obtain appropriation for dredg-
 ing Mendenhall Bar ~+ Development of increased doekage
 facilities for small boats.
 Establishment of Marine Ways.
 Betterment of mail service between Juneau and outlying towns.
 Promotion of the stopover tourist
 trade.
 Aid in the promotion of the pulp
 and paper manufacturing industry.
 To work for extension of roads and
 trails in the Juneau district.
 Development of bathing beaches in
 this vicinity
 In addition to these things, the Chamber, as usual, will be engaged in numerous other civic activities. It will have charge of and pay for the annual Fourth of July Celebration. It is promoting a Capital to Capital yacht race between Olympia, Wash, and Juneau. It will direct the usual cleanup campaign and, gener- ally, take the leading part in the business of the community which falls without the puryiew of the City Council It's record for achievement in the past is the best assurance that the pro gram will be carried out effectively and the funds entrusted to it for that purpose wisely expended to obtain the best possible results.

The Farmers Purchasing Power.
(NeW York World.)

The index number of the purchasing power of farm commodities prepared by the Department of Agriculture stands at 92, or points below the pre-war level whereas a year ago 1t regis tered ony so. Such an advance does not in- dcate corresponding increase in the farmers total income, the index is based only on prices and takes no account of production. It merely signifies in a rough way that given amount of farm products will buy some IL per cent, more of other products than it would have bought year ago.
 The trend of agricultural prices during the year has been upward, while that for other com modities has been the reverse. What the farm CTS have gained in this way, however, has been partly offset by the smaller crops of this year. They are getting better prices, but they also have less to sell. Nevertheless when due allow ance is made for diminished yields it is quite clear that the total agricultural income will be larger this year than last. This improvement has not been brought about by legislation. It sim ply reflects the operation of the old-fashionel law of supply and demand The agricultural situation is still far fram being ideal, but it is healthier by far than it would have been if the farm bloc had succeeded with it's plan of forcing the Government to subsidize overproduction.

BOWERs'S ADVICE TO DEMOCRATS

That was sensible advice that Claude G. Bow CTS author of Jefferson and Hamilton" Party Battles of the Jackson Periodo and other books, gave the Democrats at the Jackson Day dinner. To those who have studied the of Jefferson and Jackson Madison and Cass Monroe and Benton, Crawford and Douglas, Bowers has studied them, equal rights to all and special privileges to none" and the preservation of popular government and the subordnaton of money to men" are not platitudnous They are alive and convincing. Applied to the present they mean the simpheation of government, the re- storaton of State rights, tariff reform, decen- tralization They mean less governmental med ding in the affairs of individuals. They mean greater freedom. They mean more local self government They the removal of alien fitted alien-made and alen-enforeed strait jackets.
 {. The term "alien" is here used advisedly, fol the control of local matters by the Federal Gov ernment is alien government-as much so as was the government of the American Colonies by George ITS Ministers
 The only way to give the people popular government is to bring the powers of the govern ment to the doors of those governed. It is no there when it is centered at Washington, fo there is not a section of the country that i not in a minority in Congress The Fedora f,overnment should be made to conhne itsel large and as Nation. It should adhere rigidl, to the Jefersonian doctrine that people that arr least governed best governed that the Fed eral Government should do nothing that the, Stat Government might do
 N If the delegates at Houston will write MT Bowers's suggestions into a platform and nom mate candidates who will translate them int governmental policy, there will again be ~reat broad and useful field for the Democrat J,erfv If the party continues the meddlesomt -rning and factional and sectional pickering S1h. \ have been all too common for three decade sf had as well ground its arms and disband on tn 4.4xns plains this coming June.

Synthetic siapper Is
 Chemists Patron Saint

LONDON, Jan 16.=The flap per is the patron saint of chem istry says Dr. k. E. Armstrong, "a lsading scientist.
 "The napper has rings on her fingers and synthetic stones wrought by chemists,' pr. Arm trong declared at a dinner of the British Association of Chem ists.
 She has bells on her toes-- that is to say, footwear made of artificial skins also an ae- complishment of the chemists
 Then the doctor spoke in hush cd voice. ''She has mysterious indies, too,' he went on "the materials of which. were one of the greatest achievements of the chemists.
 And if we survey the flapper more in detail, as it is permis- sible to survey AaDpers. the very sheen of her hair is perhaps synthetic-and on her face are the lingerings of the products of, perhaps, the British Dyestuffs Corporation.
 Almost everything which the flapper wears today for the .ad- miring view of the public, added the scientist, even to bracelets and bangles, is the work of the chemists shop.

AMERICAS LARGEST SHIPS FOR
 PACIFIC.

The extent of the development of traffic be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States is brought forcibly to notice by the announcements that the newly built steamship California, the largest ever constructed in an American ship yard, will begin service this win ter when she sails from New York for Pacific ports this month Of course she will the Panama Canal. The California is more than 600 feet in length and has a beam of so feet Her measured tonnage is in excess of 31000 tons She has eight decks and will carry passengers and freight. Her contracted for speed is IS knots hour
 Already contract has been let for second ship that will be similar to the California in all respects to be named the Virginia, and it isl promised that the Virgnas construction wifi be followed by still another ship of the same class T. i3 promised hat the time between New Yark and San Francisco through the Panama Canal will be shortened by two days when the California begins her service.
 With such ships these of the Paeifcl Panama Company in operation the water tripI from Pacific to Atlantic ports will doubtless be come more popular than it now is.

''Tc Him That Hath"
tNew York Times.

Young. address. gave the scriptural parable of the talents pertinent modern application. The man who buried his talent condemned to lose even the little that he had. His anxious thrift was not in his case, regarded an economic virtue It was not that his capital was relatively small. but that he put it to no proper social Use. The same sentence would have beeN passed upon the man of two of five talents if he had hidden them NIr Young's version, in the term inology of teday's business give5 much the same judgment:
 We not to judge thrift solely
 by the test of saving or spending. If spends what should prudently
 save, that of course is to be deplored
 But if one saves what one could pru
 dently spend, that is not necessarily
 to be condemned. [The parable would
 say that it is to be condemned.l wise
 balance between the two saving enough
 to keep a plant account adequate to
 needs and spending enough to keep
 the plant busy in service, is the de-
 sired end.
 The advice of the parable to the man who isolated his talent by wrapping it in napkin seems harsh; but it is. after all, law of nature as well of commerce. both in material and intellectual things. An ancient proverb has it that there is that scattereth yet increaseth and there is that wthhodeth more than is meet, but it tendeth not to want" It says nothing of plant" and plant account" but the economist who wrote it must have had in his thought some such prlnclple as was m MT, lOunS s. Sucn wisdom is at the foundation of all business.
 It is when Mir Young extends to nations this economic doctrine that he advances beyond the bounds of the old conception of it's applica- bility policy of isolation-burying a national taent--is, he insists, hopeless for own nation this little globe today it is for an individual on Broadway-and would be as per lous IL would share the fate of the ''unproft- able servant" who cast into utter darkness if it narrowly and fearsomely to employ its many talents as did the with but one. the nobest utterance will prevail:
 Let not the greatest lnationl stand
 dumb when it should speak. Let it not
 be idle when it should act Let it have
 courage and sympathy and vision. Let
 it assume the responsibility of leader
 ship commensurate with Gods great
 gifts to it. Let it be unafraid for itself
 and unsuspicous of others. Let the paralysis of small views and the selfish | of littleness be condemned in our
 politics at home and become
 part of policy abroad
 It is only in the courageous, sympathetic assumption of responsibility commensurate with the talents that have come to us as people that we may expect to enter upon still greater service to the world and discover a nation that ito him that hath shall be given.
