ALASKA PUBLICATIONS.

The Alaska Year Book, regular publica- tion for several years of the Alaska Weekly has made it's appearance on the newiestands this year It is fine publication measured by any legitimate standard. It covers all sections of the Territory all theg industries n fishing, mining umbering agriculture. fur and fur farming, etc. and all phases of life in the North and they are all we'll covered. All articles are written by competent authorities Geographically, the book is all that might be desired. It is literally filled with excellent and informative pictures.
 Simultaneously with the appearance of the Alaska Year Book, came the All Alaska Review, issued under the auspices of the Cordova Times. It. too, is a comprehensive publication, covering the Territory well and, like the Year Book, it is profusely illustrated and well done in every way.
 These publications cannot fail to give Alaska a lot of desirable publicity.

THE KELLOGG TREATY RATIFIED.

President Coolidge, Secretary Kellogg Senator Borah and the other Senators and the country are to be congratulated upon the ratification of the Kellogg peace treaty without amendment or reservation The compromise which gave 1t almost the solid vote of the Senate is not hurtfui though it probably would have been received better in other countries if even that had been avoided as Senator Borah attempted to avoid it. The compromise was the reading by Senator Borah into the record of report from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declaring that the treaty would not prevent the country from going to war in it's own defense that the country would be the judge to when sef-defense might require war and that it would not in any way interfere with the Monroe Doctrine or the right of the United States to interpret it.
 The treaty is a long step forward in the peace program that all the great Powers are attempting to work out No doubt it will be followed by other steps. It ought to be followed by general disarmament. If all the countries were without military establishments sufficiently powerful to make successful offensive war it is not likely that there would be another war Of magnitude.

JUDGE HARDING MAKES GOOD TALK.

That was good talk that Judge Harding made at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday His statement that he would take the oath of office as a whole-hearted Alaskan and would discharge the duties of his office in that spirit and his declaration that absolute fair ness was the star that ought to guide just Judge, meets the requirements of the situation exactly.
 The Empire confidently believes that Judge Harding will make excellent jurist in every way and that he will give eminent satisfaction to all fair-minded citizens. He ought to have the support and cooperation of all good citizens He is entitled to that right from the beginning. We believe that it will be given to him.

More Or Less True

The reason some men don't start the day with a smile is because their wives studied shorthand in- stead of the use of shortening and kindred subjects.
 A lot of money will be saved father if they ever can get per .manent wave that is as permanent as his bald spot.
 A husband is a good deal like furnace-when no attention is paid to him he is gonna go out
 Still when a wife gets sarcastic about how far short the fat, bald headed husband has come of being the Prince charming she thought she was getting, he can come back with the retort that she re- sembles the angel he thought he was getting like goldfish does an ice cream cone.
 The only reason some wives do things for their husbands is be- cause it enables them to feel abus- ed afterwards, especially when the big brutes act as if women married men just to do things like that for elm.
 It is getting so that if a young man is determined to get girl who'll make him the old-fashioned kind of wife his mother made his father. his chances of remaining a bachelor are about 10000 to l.
 If the job of housewife was to sit in front of a mirror couple of hours and then go down to give the male eyes a treat we know a lot of girls who would be the gil raffe's neck as housekeepers.
 The gent who laughs loudest at girls who wash "'em" when they take 'em off and let 'em dry while they sleep is the gent who has to sit behind curtain while his clothes are being pressed.
 Another thing man learns af- ter marriage is that when kissing becomes duty instead of pleas ure there isn't any necessity foI being so particular about getting clean shave as preliminary.

BUILD HIGHWAYS FOR THE FUTURE.

Writing under the heading, "The lmportanc of Planning for the Future Thomas H. Mac Donald chief of the Bureau of Public Roads in his recent annual report to Secretary of Az riculture Jardine, said:
 The studies of the flow and growth of highway traffic made by the Bureau in recent years have emphasized the fundamental importance of careful pres ent consideration of future needs in re- establishing the location and planning the structure of our highways
 The design of motor vehicles has been so perfected that speed consd erably in excess of former possibilities can be attained without increase of hazard so far as the vehicles them selves are concerned
 The remarkable developments that have recently occurred in the design and use of ccmmon-earrer busses are probably than the beginning of much further development that is to occur in this form of conveyance.
 Traffic congestion, until recently serious problem only in the cities, has moved outward and imposes it's time-consuming delays and menace to life and property upon the principal highways in the vicinity of the large metropolitan centers.
 These facts must be taken into con sideration in the planning of future Fed eral-aid improvements They point espe- cially to the necessity of acquiring rights of way of ample width 10 allow for future widening or the making of definite provision for future acquisition

 higher speeds; to the desirability of considering the improvement of arterial routes with the service of the entire route in mind and, in metropolitan areas. to the urgency of grade-crossng elimination, wider pavements and the building of relief and bypass highways.
