ELEVENTH HOUR CAMPAIGNS.

The campaien preceding the annual municipal election of tomorrow has up to today been normally quiet with possibly few more than the average number of rumoIs circulated by r-enthusiastic partsans Whatever issues there may be, and there seem to be few have not been dealt with publicly. The present City Administration has published a financial statement and a review of its accom- pshments during the past year. An impartial analyss made with en open and unbiased mind is convincing that the record is creditable one both for the Administration and the municipality itself
 Tonight the opposition to the Administration will hold it's only public meeting of the campaign. The Empire does not pretend to have any advance knowledge of the matters that to be discussed nor what if any, criticism will be made. That there is opposition to any administration is an in dcaton of a healthful interest in city affairs that speaks well for the community. That opposition is rghtfuy entitled criticse, and to set up reasons why it should succeed to authority These arc things of which no would deprive it.
 But there is just crtlclsm of the time picked for it's exposition of city affairs Fair tactics would have irnpead it to have presented its cause to the public while there was still time for those it seeks to dspace to defend their record if necessary. The Citizens ticket headed by Mayor Thomas B Judson many days since submitted it's own record to the public for examination If that record to have been attacked it should been done while there was time for it to have replied. That was not done.
 If, then, the Administration is subjected to such attack tonight, the voters of Juneau are well within their rights to disregard and to refuse to take into account anything that is said. Any eleyenth-hour campaign issue is @ poor, unfair and unethical issue Such campaign snacks of poor sportsman ship It is calculated and does effectualy bar the person institution attacked from that sefdefense that is guaranteed to everyone by law and inherent ly recognized by every lbertyloying American as an inalenable right Of this nation and it's citizens.
 Lower taxation and economic administration have been made the by the opposition ticket head ed by MT. Henry Roden. In the interests of good, clean politics and in all fairness to the community the discussions of the campaign tonight should be confined to those subjects and how they can be accomplished. It seems to us that it rests with Mir Roden and his associates to convince the community that they carry forward the civic improvements the basis of permanency char acterizng the work of the present administration

You don't have to ask girl how she feels about the modern styles, you always can tell how she does by giving what they reveal of her he once over.
 Many a woman who wouldn't think of thumbing a ride doesn't mind asking a beauty doctor to give her face lift. There would be r.,47er divorces if 2 young man would always find out before marrying a girl if she also is crazy about the things that are not good for him.
 Considering what they show when they sit down, bend over and climb into the rumble seat, nothing seems more like unnecessary labor than for girls to pull down the shades when they are going to bed.
 The way wives think up disa- greeable things to talk about you would think they just hated to have their husbands in a good humor when they were around home. Though a human icicle may be even higher above suspicion than Caesars wife was supposed to be, you'll never find her husband vast ing any pity on the unhappiness of the man who married red-hot mamma.
 Our idea of an optimist is 9 young man who doesn't put a bullet proof vest in his when he discov- CTS his bride -to-be has a cute little pearl handled revolver in her hope chest.
 The fat are trying to get thin and the thin fat, and the way some of them wear their half-grown (whole groan, however, hair leads to the suspicion the pretty girls are try | ing to get homely while the homely ones are trying to get even home | Her.
 The real recipe for happy mar riage is to take a sensible man earning a nice fat salary and a nice sensible woman with an angelic disposition, join with a wedding ceremony and keep the relations away.
 It always is easy to tell a bache- lor-he never is careful to remove the fancy pillows from couch be- fore he Hops down on it. After you have met mans wife you understand why he is suffer- ing from an inferiority complex.
 The gent who remarked that her hair was woman's crowning glory wasn't looking at a half-grown crop.

Malamutes May Howl.
(Seattle Times.)


 If the Alaska dog has any professional pride m achievement he must howl in disgust at the SUD ordinate position that threatens him in tranSporta- ton circles. Years ago he turned back the attacK Of reindeer competition Later he lost little or ms prestige to railroad rivalry but the iron horse mere ly invaded a comparatively small area and the dog was left dominant all the rest of the vast Territory Now his importance is assailed by air. planes.
 For long time the task of hauling mail over the winter trails of Alaska has afforded dog teams steady lucrative compensation Recently the Post Office Department has been making limited use of privately owned aircraft and in the past season spent S7O00 on this form of mail service So sat- sfactory have been the results that the authorities plan an appropriation of $17000 for next winter. Commercial aviation in the North is said to be profitable In these circumstances dispatch by plane of virtually all winter mail is a certainty of the near future.
 Of course weather conditions occasionally may impair aerial efficiency. In the stress of storm, gasoline tanks may become depleted; gales may com pei forced landings. But to climatic disadvantages, not even the dog is always superior. When rations ] are short he will eat his harness, and rather than travel against a strong head wind, he will into tail spin and lie curled like doughnut in the snow until the weather moderateS.
 Airplanes are becoming unromantc innovations; dogs are almost halowed traditional figures. But utility, not sentiment, is the factor that determines the Northern choice.

HOOVER IS THIRTIETH PERSON TO BE
 PRESIDENT.

While Herbert Hoover will go down in history as the thrty-first President of the United States he really is the thirtieth person to be President. He has only had twenty mine predecessors This anomaly is due to the circumstance that there was an interim between the first and second terms of President Cleveland. Therefore Cleveland was both the twenty second and twenty fourth President. President Harrison, who defeated President Cleve- land for reelection and in turn defeatd by the latter when he himself candidate for re- election, the twenty third President.
 President Cleveland the only person who ever served in the Presidency failed of reelection to succeed himself and subsequently, elected to that high office Van Buren, Fillmore, Grant and Roose- velt attempted it without Van Buren, Fill more and Roosevelt failing like Grant of renomina- tion, finally accepted nominations of minor parties and defeated at the polls They only suc- ceeded contributing to the defeat of the regular nominees of their political parties Grant quit when he lost out in the Republican convention in 1880. Garfield, who got the nomination. was elected in close contest.

More or Less True

One of life's most pathetic sights is woman who can't be any prouder of her legs than she is of her husband.
 Some of the near-nude chickens" get along without brains almost as well as the feathered kind do with out teeth.
 The neglect step-child gets is loving care compared to that a woman feels when she gets to be "just the wife" to her husband.
 A man who thinks he's Napoleon gets a padded cell, but they'll let man who thinks when he has married the pampered beauty she'll gladly make over her last years Eastern scenery, if need be, so he can get some new spring glad rags, run around loose.
 What many wife wonders is who gets the blame and whose eve- ming is ruined when bachelor has been off his golf game.
 They may need it like an auto needs an extra steering wheel, but if it is bargain woman can't be convinced that it is more import ant to pay the rent than buy it.
 One of the strangest things of life is how a couple will spend all their time before marriage in spoon ing and all their time afterward in scrapping.
 The honeymoon has faded out when he discovers handing over all he makes to HER isn't anything like as heavenly as he thought it would be, and she reaches the con- clusion that sub-zero in thrills is getting meals for him.
 If she decides the little hussie who declared the bob now is a sign of age can go jump in the river and tells the barber to gc ahead and trim it again, it means she's middle-age and hasn't the nerve to live through a growing period.
 If it wasn't for the bed clothes and the things the male members of the family wear, the manufac- turers of clothes line could go out of business.

lat lesser cost than that which has prevailed. The
 town is not interested greatly in anyones personal political ambitions It does not want to see the city's improvement program slaughtered to satisfy personal grievances, but it does want that program carried forward.
