About Home Trading.

A peddler stopped me on the street and looked me up and down, then opened up his sample case with clothing red and brown. My friend" quoth he, just cast your eyes and gaze upon these suits and can measure up your foot for dress or work ing boots"
 "Awayl" I cried, flor if I need some shoes or undewear, my clothing merchant up the street will get his proper share For he pays taxes in my town; his kids go to school, and I believe in practicing the Good Lords Golden Rule-'To do to others as you would that they would do to you.

 You sec my friend" the peddler cried that in this thriving town people trade where'er they think that prices are marked down; and those who cry in loudest tones for trading here at home will buy and trade in Illinoy and Timbuctoo or Rome"

TRADING AT HOME.

Juneau merchants, at the suggestion of the Cham Der of Commerce, who interested in trading at home specially advertising goods that are pro- curabe in this City If one will study those adyer- tisements and other advertising appearing from day to day in The Empire it will be noted that one does not send to mail order houses or other concerns out of town to get good articles at the right prices These merchants are making 1t plain that those who admit that trading at home helps to build up the town do not have to patronize out of town department and mail order stores to get the right goods at the right prices-and they have the further advantage of dealing directly with the mer- chant and of seeing their purchases before they take them home.
 One thing that ought not to be forgotten in connection with this trading at home campaign is that to make it measurably successful 1t must be accepted principle by everybody. It Is not enough for one to urge that everybody but at home the things that he sells, but that everyone apply the principle to all of his own buying.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-One of the mildest members of the United States Senate will play an important role during the present special session of Congress.
 He is Reed Shoot of Utah watch dog of the treasury" and expert in all things relating to tar if. The 67-year-old Senator long has been a thorough student of the tariff situation, and is re- garded by all as the high priest of tariff protection in Congress.
 Neither of the great Republican tariffs enacted within his timt bore his name. However. his i'm. press was written large upon them And the bill passed by the specia session undoubtedly will be re- ferred to as the Smoot-Hawley law.
 It is difficult to picture Smoo' in the role of a fighter. He i' tall, lean and lank, and his hail is gray. His voice is thin, and quarrelsome note is evident wher he engages in heated debate. He is possessed of an inquisitive mind and not infrequently he confoundi proponents of measures with his marshaling of information against their cause.

ALASKA COLLEGE ATTRACTS

That the "Farthest North" College has developed to the point where 1t is being recognized by both National and International organizations for scien tifc research is matter for the serious considera- ton of the people of the Territory. When this institution opened seven years ago many were more than skeptical about the wisdom of such venture. It has demonstrated that Alaska needs College not only for the higher education of her young and but also that she may take her place in contributing to the worlds fund of scien- tific knowledge. There Is wonderful field for this last land grant college and the fact that it is getting it's stride s indeed. gratifying.

 DayboOk !

Three Diversions Hard work was the rule of life laid down for himself by Senator ] Shoot. It is only broken by three things:
 He plays golf. Frequently from 6 to T o'clock in the morning he may be found on one of the capi- tals public courses executing me- thodical strokes In an endeavor to break 100.
 He likes vaudeville. Formerly he would go to Keith's Theatre in Washington on Friday nights and occupy a seat on the second row No one lamented more than the Senator when the theatre was closed.
 He is a frequent visitor to the Washington ZOO.
 Senator Smoot is a widower and the father of six children, three sons and three daughters. He lives in beautiful house in Wesley Heights in Washington
 There is deep religious strain in the man. He is Mormon by faith, one of the 12 apostles who are m m bers of the governing council of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was appointed an apostle three years before he came to the Senate in 1908 and it was by req son of his high place in tht church that his right to Senate seat was contested by a number of religious and other organiza' tions.

Twelve Hours Straight


 His ability to put up stiff op- position to bills has been demon strated repeatedly. For several days at time he bore the brunt of the Democratic assault on the Ford y-McCumber tariff bill. He spoke 12 hours without an interruption against the first proposal of the Wilson Administration for a Ship ping Board.
 Too, he can be brief with ef- fectiveness. On the day the Sen ate adopted the war resolution Senator after Senator spoke loud and long. Smoot finally obtained the floor and said:

The reason a man hates for his wife to be so orderly is because when things are where they belong he never can find them.
 Everything is relative, and a woman considers she is on time if she arrives not later than an hour after the time agreed upon.
 Probably another evil that will follow the growing bobbed hair will bera rise in the price of male hair cuts, so the barbers can make up what they lose by the women changing their minds.
