POOR ARKANSAS

We don't know what Arkansas has
done to deserve all his. Perhaps the
curses of tourists who have travelled over

4 GOOD IDEA

FL Centros Christmas festival. which
proved to be such success last year, is
to be repeated this year. with the cham
ber of commerce and merchants of the
city cooperating to make it even a great
er success.
Last years festival succeeded even
though it was hastily conceived and hur-
riedly carried out. This year plans are
starting sufficiently in advance of the
Christmas season to care for numerous
details which lack Of time caused to be
neglected last year.
The Festival is doubly designed to
stimulate business and to promote good
fellowship between buyer and seller as
we'll as among the residents of the city.
Merchants are entering whole-hearted-
ly into the plan and have pledged their
cooperation to the fullest extent.
The Press will carry announcements
on the Festival from time to time as they
are released for publication and it is not
only willing but glad to lend its support
to help make the affair a splendid sue
cess.

WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS.

For week or more Juneau will be host to the officers and men of the British cruiser Dauntless. and she is glad of the opportunity to welcome the representatives Of great friendly power and make them feel that they are with kindred people. The friendship Of the United States and Great Britain has become a tradition. They have been at peace fer two decades more than a century, and it is a peace that rests upon understanding, confidence, respect and blood relationship.
 Juneau is particularly glad to be the host of Iepgescntaties Of the navy of this friendly power for there is no institution in the world that occu- pies place of honor and glory that excels that of the English navy. Through the centuries Eng land has depended upon her navy to make secure her place in the and to insure the progress Of civilization and she has not placed her de- pendence in vain.
 The Empire expresses the feeling of every Juneauite when it assures the visitors that they are welcome here and to all that our little town pOssesses.

CANADIAN ELECTORS PULL
 SURPRISE.

The Canadian electorate fooled the people The expectation on both sides of the international bound ary line seemed to be that the Dominion voters would retain Premier Kings Government in power The almost complete returns that have been re- cetyed from the baloting would indicate that such may have been the result if it had not been for the uprising in the Province of Quebec where the Liberals lost twenty seats to the Conservatives If the Liberals had held their own in that Province the Conservatives would have been seven short of a majority and thus Premier King would probably have formed a Government with the support of Liberals and the minor party members as he twice has done
 Two or three months ago it was generally be- leyed that the Conservatives would have an easy victory. However the Premiers brilliant coast to coast campaign, with it's masterful defense of his nine years of stewardship and clear presentation of the Dunning budget and it's reception by the people seemed to have caused change of senti- ment
 There seems no question but that the new Ameri- can tariff operated to the advantage of the Con- sargatives. # was looked upon by Canadians as declaration of industrial and commercial war, and the very able Alr. Bennett made the best possible use of t in his campaign
 This Conservative victory following an anti-Amer- ican campaign causes one to recall that it was through an snti-Americsgl campaign that the Con- serRatives disoqged Sir Wilfrd Laurier in Canada in 1911 after fifteen years of power At that time, however, ants-American feeling was not developed y high tariff against Canadian products but through the famous reciprocity agreement entered into by President Taft and Premier Laurier. The Canadian Conservatives convinced majority of Ihe Canadian voters that reciprocity was meant as inst step toward the annexation of their country ry the Americans
 The whirags plays peculiar pran&s in the game of politics But fortunately people do not seriously consider them for very long. The friendship of Americans and Canadians rests on foundation that is too stable to be upset by a political cam palan Tn the course Of time the sharp edge of the Ha1iey- -smoot tariff will be eliminated and the two peoples vn trade of yore on friendly basis and mutual profit

Looking troubles in the face is a necessary and salutary effort But too great a concentra- ton upon it may be depressing to make it

He asked to regard present troubles not signs of failure and decay, but as the symptoms of sort of malaise of wealth. Most of the causes of the present depression world wide but it must be remembered that in this coun- try we had for twenty-five years been carrying out one of the greatest social experiments in history the equalization of wealth and the abolition of the worst kinds of poverty. For the ordinary worker we were supporting a standard of life 45 per cent higher than that in France.
