WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT.

The good reports given out by the manage ment of the Admiralty Island Coal Company are heartening. If the coal and opportunity to mine it as good these coal operators believe they are another important industry will soon be under way in this vicinity. We say that advisedly for there is evry evidence that the coal mining company is competently organized and there is not doubt but that there is market at hand for good little coal mine
 A mine producing 000 5000 tons of coal a month and employing 100 men would be a significant addition to the industrial activity of this section of Alaska If the coal is in the property as the managers hope and believe it to be, development will not stop It will continue to grow as the market for it's product grows.
 MT. Donaldson Mir Lerch, MT. Jones and the others who are directing the affairs of the Ad- mralty Island Coal Company have the well wishes and may count upon the cooperation of this community. It is their plan to have their main offices in Juneau and the people here will look upon their enterprise as local institution.

TEXAS TOWNS HAVE BUILDING BOOM

 Houston ranked sIxtn among American cities for the value of the building for which permits were issued in March of this year. This is a boost from tenth place in March 1927 and six teenth place in March 1926 Fort Worth, Texas, rose from 24th place in March 1927 to eleventh place in March 1928. The five cities that led Houston New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles, in the order named have held the same rank in March for the last three years.
 Seattle has passed San Francisco in the value of building permits this year for the first time She ranks twelfth among American cities while San Francisco is thirteenth. In spite of the de- in building operations at San Francisco she leads Cleveland and St. Louis, both larger cities.
 The circumstance that Fort Worth and other Texas towns have shared the building boom with Houston would indicate that it is Texas rather than the Democratic National Convention that is doing the boosting down there. On the other hand, it would indicate that the location of the convention there has not hurt things.

Geld and the Stock Market.
(New York World. ]


 There have been many surprising and puzzling things about the recent stock market, and one of the most surprising has been the violent rise in prices in the face of large outflow of gold. During March approximately $100,000,000 in gold was exported. As gold leaves the country it naturally tends to reduce the basis for bank credit and last month as the shipment of gold increased bank loans both for commercial pur- poses and for stock speculation were also rapidly expanding. This looked like using up of credit reserves from both ends at once, and it seemed to foreshadow the approach of higher money rates. Yet there visible effect of this on the price of securities. The stock market has continually moved upward.
 A partial explanation for the small effect of gold exports is given in the latest monthly bulle- tin of the Federal Reserve Board, which points out that substantial portion of the outflow consisted of gold which had previously been marked for foreign countries and therefore in yolved current draft the credit resources of this country
 This, however does not wholly clear up the mysteries of the present market The country has been steadily losing gold since last Septem- Der, and the stock hand, though than ample for ordinary business requirements, is less than at any time within the past four years So far the stock market has paid attention to this loss For the time being it appears to have become law unto itself and the most experienced traders in Wall Street have aband- oned any attempts to explain it's persistent advance.

Coolidge Should Act.
(Trenton Times.)


 Why is the World Court issue dormant? The Coolidge Administration is committed to Ameri- can entry into the international tribunal The sentiment of the country .favors it. And yet little nothing is being done at Washington There is possibility that the Gilett reso- luton, being discussed in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, may precpitate debate dur ing this session of Congress. But the possi- bility is not exactly strong Two years ago the Senate ratified a World Court protocol There were, however, five reser- vations tackled One of these reservations dealing with advisory opinions, met with the Opposition of most of the governments which are members of the court.
 The Senate, of course remained adamant And President Coolidge made not the slightest effort to ascertain whether the points of disagreement could be ironed out to the satisfaction of all cerned. Now that peace is being widely dis cussed, the moment would seem opportune for a further exchange of opinion this important issue It is obligation which the Administra- tion cannot honestly dodge.

IT STILL LOOKS LIKE SMITH AND
 HOOVER

As more and more delegates selected for the National conventions in primaries and con- yentions it becomes more and more apparent that Gov. Smith and Secretary Hoover will be the candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties for the Presidency. Coy. Smith now has 52O or instructed. pledged claimed votes out of 633 elected Democratic delegates and MT. Hoover has 3S3 instructed pledged claimed votes out of 752 elected delegates. This gives Gov. Smith ratio of fve-sxths of the Demo- cratic delegates that have already been chosen and Mir. Hoover has clear majority of the Republican delegates Among the States yet to report 1t is expected the leading candidates will maintain their ascendency.
 It cannot be successfully questioned but that the situation is one that ,has been brought about by the people From the beginning the candi- dacies of Gov. Smith for the Democratic and MT.

THE NEED OF A THIRD PARTY"

In editorial in which it contends that there is need for a Third Party" in the United States, the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
 third party first of all. attracts
 every vociferous political mountebank
 who practices dissatisfaction as a pro-
 fession It offers haven to the
 siderable body of citizens who dis
 gruntled, criticize most freely and most
 unconstruetively It immediately becomes
 a favorite playground for demagogues,
 who somehow other always succeed
 in shouting down those who sincerely
 desire reform.
 Isn't that good statement of the need for "Third Party?' Think of what it would mean for the "Old Partiess to get all these mounte- banks and dsgruntled practitioners of dissatis- faction into single playground where they would not be organizing blocs for the purpose of formulating the rules of the games, Of course there is the danger that insurgents in or both of the "Od Parties would try to force an alliance with the Third Party in order to carry election. That might trouble But it really seems that the "Old Parties" would profit from abundant experience and let the yociferous outfit chew up their under pinnngs in which the isolation might have queting effect

Hoover for the Republican nomination have had the strongest support among the masses of the people. Never before in the history of the coun- try has Presidential contest been more an ap- peal to the average citizen than has been the in this campaign.
 The outlook for Mr. Hoover, while bright indeed is not quite so favorable for him as Gov. Smiths chances in the Democratic Party. There IS still a possibility of a deadlock and the traditional dark horse in the Republican Party but there seems to be not a chance of doubt about the nomination of Gov. Smith by the Democrats.

 A most learned doctor Dr. Louis E. Bisch, not only in medicine. but philosophy as well, if one believes in titles declared in the April number of McCal's Magazine that women are eminently unfit for service on juries. And then the learned medic proceeds to set forth his req sons for his rash statement by saying,
 Women make snap ihtuitive judg-
 ments based entirely upon their emo-
 tiona outlook and then justify them
 afterwards.
 Women be positively vicious in
 judging other women But in judging
 men, their judgment invariably is
 prompted by their emotional ideals
 apart from reasoned proof of guilt or
 innocence
 Forming quick and frequent judg-
 ments is precisely what every woman
 does. For argument logic, connected
 thought, deduction pure reasoning,
 she cares practically nothing Every
 woman is envious and jealous of every
 other woman.
