THE NEW YEAR.

Last New Year Day The Empire spoke with a large degree of optimism concerning the outlook for 1929 The events of the year that has passed have amply justified the confidence then expressed We gre now entering another year, and The Empire believes that 1880 will witness advance in Juneau far greater than that of 1929 Never in the history of the City has the outlook been so favorable for the translation of Juneau into a prosperous City of metropolitan importance
 The indications plainly point to greater mining and fishing activities and to more rapid progress in pulp and paper development. The latter will include of course, water power development, Tor that is necessity in making pulp and paper
 In addition to these major industries, work will be prosecuted vigorously the construction of the Capitol and there will be other building of substantial character The City will, without doubt continue street improvement MT. Caro and asso- ciates will have cannery in operation at Aux Bay There will be greater airplane development In fact there is light in every part of the horizon. There is not dark cloud any where.
 Under the circumstances it is with a feeling of supreme confidence that The Empire today greets its readers on the first day of the New Year and wishes for them very large degree of pros perity May their New Year be happy and 1880 the best of all their years up to now.

Prohibition and Clogged Courts.
(New York World.)

Mrs Wlebrandt makes her last bow in Attor- ney General Mitchells report for the fiscal year 1929 with some enlightening information pro- hbition enforcement. The largest single class of cases in the Federal courts are prohibition cases In the last fiscal year they totaled nearly 67O00 Doubtless government in the worlds history has ever had so many cases in its court under one law The congestion and overwork in various districts of which Mir Taft and the Circuit Judges complain is due mainly to prohibition
 Mrs Wilebrandts statistics offer mute evidence of the effect of this congestion upon prohibition enforcement itself. Civil were l1237 crm- inal cases 56786. Of the criminal cases there were 47,100 convictions But how they obtained? No fewer than 43,183 were obtained by pleas of guilty and only 39l3 by jury trial, In other words as every one knows to be notorious-more than e-tenths of the vioators were induced to plead guilty and take easy penalties to save the expense. delay and intolerable crowding which wholesale jury trials would involve We have on our statute books law which makes prohibition violations punishable by five years in prison or sl0O00 fine or both But what were the penalties exacted of these 47,1oo persons found guilty? Only little more than two-fifths of them were sent to iail and their average sentence was l47 days The rest ecaped with fines, and the average fine collected was under $180.
 Such are the consequences of throwing an essen- tally unenforceabe law, with an average of 5s0O cases monthly upon the Federal court machinery
 The wonder is that the courts stand up under tbeir burden we'll

A STAND PAT STATE.
By SCOTT c. BONE.

Pennsylvania, a practical State, pursues prac- tical course by eschewing the reformer and theor- ist and practicing practical politics Thus usually it has been ably and conspicuously represented in the United States Senate and fared mighty well in national legislation.
 Grundy lobbyist of the ranking degree, high tariff exponent in whom there is guile, success sor by appointment of the discarded Ware, fits into the established practical equation admirably, and up fully to the requirements demonstrated by the political experience of the Keystone State
 He is of the pattern of distinguished line of predecessors who nodded the commonwealth's industrial destiny from reconstruction days following the Civil War-the Chamerons, father and son Simon and Donald, whose mantles descended to Matthew Stanley Quay and Boise Penrose, and now falls to this easy, smiling boss, Grundy.
 An early Democratic exponent of this same practical school of politics the brilliant Samuel J. Randall once Speaker of the House. and fore most advocate of high protection in his day.
 To each and all of these great men. the tariff distinctly a local issue affecting home constituencies and their practical usefulness was seriously disputed Idealists did not approve their type, dealists dsapprove their petpetuated type today; but Pennsylvania with keen eye to the main chance elects that profitable brand oi statesmanship And manfestly it is Pennsylvania; business.
 To the credit of the usually dissenting bloc re- Spectng the constitution in final test, it voted adversely young Senator Yves puerile effort te deny Grundy his seat on purely personal grounds
 As practical politics is thrust into the limeligh and Pennsylvania's fanced sordidness held up to contumey and scorn, 1t is timely to recall and record the fact that erstwhile patron saint Matthew Stanley Quay likewise assailed by col leagues and temporarily barred from his seat received from Theodore Roosevelt then President tribute in passing as ever was paic by the White House to a public servant, of any day or generation.

Preserving the Fran.
(New York Times.) )

The Tram, a famous ship in polar exploration since she was built in 1892 calls up memories of Nansen, Sverdrup and Amundsen She was designed to withstand any pressure of ice floes to which she might be exposed and it is to be preserved for permanent exhibition if fund for the purpose can be raised. committee headed by Viscount Cecil will ask for subscriptions The amount needed is f4,OOO Norway cannot provide all of it.
 The Tram CForwardD had a severe test on her first expedition. At dinner in this city last
 Winter Dr. Nansen told again the thrilling story of leaving the ship in charge of Captain Sverdrup and with Lieutenant Johannesen, travelling for many days over the ice meeting with an adventure With polar bear and almost losing their kayak in the open sea. On Oct. Is, 1895 the Tram attained S5 degrees 57 minutes North the highest latitude TOT ship up to that time. Nansen on the ice did even better, 86 degrees IA minutes In the most violent pressure the Tram proved to be the very snip Tor ice" She was a snug refuge from the sharpest cold outside
 It was the Tram that took Amundsen to the Bay of Whales in 1911 to make his march witb dog -sleds to the South Pole His base camn be called Framheim. So the good old Tram, said Amundsen in his book, "has shown the flao of Norway farthest north and farthest south Wben the South Pole won, the Norwegians raised the Frams pennant with their country's flag over the tent that as left there

THE YEARS By Mary Graham Bonner


 We're going to have rather un- usual adventure this evening"" the Little Black Clock told John and Peggy. i've used my wonderful magic and I've turned the time back ever so far.
 You will see!"
 John and Peggy went with the Little Black Clock, and somehow the place where they went looked as though it might be the back Of i the world.
 Just as the back of the house is different from the front, so this seemed like the back of the world. 1 It was so different from anything they had ever seen.
 I've not turned the time back too far-but still quite, quite far, the Little Clock said and now there appeared some tall handsome young men.
 Then there were others-younger than these-and there were eleven boys who looked very much alike and others who seemed quite diff ferent.
 I've brought John and Peggy, :" the Little Black Clock cried.
 Good" they all said. We can almost wish you a happy New Year
 It seemed that the eleven who looked alike were the Months of the year. February was not so tall as the others, but had the same general appearance, except that each of the months wore suit that looked not unlike the kind of Month he was. March wore a most un- tidy suit.
 John and Peggy met the Years too-they were so fine and noble looking!
 And they met the Weeks and Days-splendid-all of them.
 This is where the Years and Days and Weeks and Months and Moments live when they're not on duty in your world" the Little Black Clock explained. They've all ways been friendly with my family the family of Time-wait You're going to see the babyl"

AN ORDINARY MAN WHO MADE GOOD

The Seattle Post -Inteligencer recently comment ing upon the life of the late Gov Louis F Hart of it's State said
 Louis F. Hart would like to be remem-
 bered as an average whom the people
 trusted and who proved worthy of the
 trust. This is enough of honor to achieve
 and the citizens of this State will admit
 that he achieved it
 That presents authentic picture of Gov Hart, and a finer picture is hard to conceive Gov Hart was one of those souls that always tried to do his duty without regard to whether not his acts would bring fame to him He never sought notoriety or unsual distinction He simply did the best he knew how every day in the year. He never looked for a political issue for himself his party He advocated what he believed to be right and fair and opposed what he thought wrong and unfair. There was no buncombe in him.
 Gov. Hart regarded when Governor as very ordinary He And that is all he tried

Revolt of Japanese Youth.
Seattle Post -Intelligencer.l


 Japan is heavy-hearted. Young Japanese mer and women rebellng against the ancient GUS tom of barter in marriage by family council. In Tokyo the police carry on social reforms. They have lately issued impassoned manifesto de- ploring the attitude of Japans young people. Ii says, in part
 The new wine of freedom, based in-
 dividuaism of the West has been quaffed
 by the younger set of Japans women in such large doses that it has gone to their heads, and today they live in world of
 emotional stress, in startling contrast to the ancient Japanese tenets that a womans greatest virtue and pride lies in utter self abnegation and self-effacement The Japanese lass is far more immoral than was her mother or her grandmother large number seem to be laboring under the misapprehenson that virtue and sacrifice today bring tangible reward
 This break from tradition in Japan is of added interest to Americans in light of the situation in the Hawaiian Islands The question is often raised Will the children of Japanese parents in the islands ever become Americanized? They automatically attain American citizenship
 An imperial Japanese observer recently ventured the opinion that 85 per cent of these Japanese Americans are more American than Japanese in viewpoint The lament of the Tokyo police would indicate that the changing viewpoint of youth is more than matter of geography.

round the Tiger clawed Joe up bit, but Josef
weathered the storm, although he trif1e
unsteady when he parked himself on his stool.
1t looked to Sharkey as though Vincha had
the failing of every amateur. He was prone
to fight himself out In the early rounds. The
Cabling Cob advised his protege to coast
along for round or two and then crash Dixon.
In the third verse the Tiger leaped from his
lair and tore into Vincha. One hard clout
on the button and Vincha was draped on the
floor. Sharkey yelled at him to get up and
cover up.
Yes, Vincha staggered to his pins. But he
was trundled to the floor again by another
claw from the Tiger. He got up and was
promptly returned to the boards by Dixon. It
was at this point that Sharkey decided all was
not well and few the distress signal.
THIS disaster didn't shake the confidence Of
Sharkey in his protege. He decided it was
an of night for Vincha.
Sharkey and his manager and trainer went
into a huddle and selected one Pietro CORR Of
New York City via Austria, as the delayed
sacrifice.
CORR had been In America for several years,
but nobody had arisen to predict a champion
ship for him. He has been defeated by a num-
Der of the also punched.
Sharkey arranged to have his protege In the
ring at Keene, N. H.. against CORR
With all his strategy board in his corner,
Vincha toed the mark For the first round
Vincha had a wide bargain but after that it was
all CORR BY the time the seventh round had
rolled around they were rolling the senSeleSs
vincha over the carpet to his corner
Vincha exposed very glaring defect. 1t was
his utter inability to collect stiff punch on
the chin without losing control of his dogs.
AS a picker, Sharkey had proved himself
swell puncher.
DERHAPS it was friendship that influenced
Iris Speaker in favor of Les Nunamaker.
Nunie had been playing second fiddle to
catching virtuosos on the New York Yankees
and Boston Red Sox for several years. 1t was
while he was on the Red Sox roster that he
became friendly with Speaker, then one of the
leading outfelders, hitters and baserunners OF
the American League.
The star outfelder and the second string
backstop became pals and roommateS. They
had one hobby In communicating. After the
American League activities, Speaker and Nuna-
maker went hunting for several weeks.
Speaker thought Nunie was stellar catcher.
He resolved that, If he ever developed into q
pilot. he would give his pal full opportunity.
Speaker was sold to the Cleveland Indians.
and later was appointed playing manager. His
first act was to retrieve Nunamaker from the
brink of base ball oblivion and attach him to
the Indians
Spoke gave his pal a splendid chance to dis
tinguish himself. but Nunie paSse, both in
fielding and hitting. For several years Speaker

various circuits that the predominance a
Canadian-born players is q big drawback In
the progress of the ice game played In the
United States.
What is wanted is players who are citizens
of the United States, but they can't be had.
Lester Patrick, manager of the New York
Rangers in the National Hockey League, was
sure he had budding star in Myles Lane.
Patrick had been q great hockey star himself
and you'd think he'd know So after giving
Lane the up and down at Dartmouth, Patrick
decided here was what was wanted by the
Rangers.
But Lane proved miles away from the objec-
tive set for him by his sponsor. While he had
been a star in intercollegiate hockey it was
found impossible by Patrick to keep him on
the Hangers through season. He only

helpful to the club.
SINCE 1911, Bill Burgess has been recognized
as one of the outstanding coaches of mara
thon swimmers. Each Channel swimming
period, he has maintained training camp at
Cape Girls Nee on the French shore of the
Channel. 1t in 1911 that Burgess swan
across the Channel and he did it from Dover to
Calais whereas modern swimmers try an easier
route from south to north. Burgess was the
second person to make the swim, this first be-
ing the late Matt Webb 1t took Bill % hours
Nobody ever accused Burgess of disseminating
bedtime stories about swimming and swimmers.
He knew. So, when he espoused the cause OF
Ishak Helmy. everybody interested in swimming
shook the bubbles out of his ears and stood at
attention.
Helmy had come from his native Egypt se4
cure in his expectation to swim the English
Channel A giant in height and poundage he
had all the natural assets.
Back home in Egyptian waters, Helmy had
done considerable long distance swimming but
his ambition was to swim across the English
Channel 1t was 10 years ago he FIRST decided
to try his luck on the Channe-and he's stM
trying during the swimming season Of each year.
LIE has made 20 attempts to swim from Cape
Girls Nez to the English side\ of the strait
And has not penetrated more than half way
across. He would swim strongly for a few
miles and then fade.
Burgess believed it was the cold water 70
which he had been unaccustomed in Egypt that
spelled the giants doom for several years.
He, therefore. had the Egyptian train in the
Channel water all during the Summer and Fan,
with an occasional try at the course.
Despite the years of effort to harden him to
the frigid water, Hemy seems unable to respond
to this treatment In his most recent Channel
attempts he has had TO quit the grind earlier
than when he made his debut.

Nunie was never able to justify the confidence
placed in him by Speaker. AS big league re-

the starriest fielders and hitsmiths in base ball
history, but he badly misjudged his friends

"Alaskas new capitol building is one of the finest government struc- lures of it's size in the United States"
 This is the personal and the of ficial opinion of Everett J. Quinn, mechanical engineer of the Treas ury Department, with headquar- ters in Washington, D. C.. whose duty is to inspect every federal building in course of erection just before completion and who came to Juneau a few days to pass judg- ment on the structure for this Ter ritory.
 The workmanship throug bout the Capitol is splendid" he con- tinued. Tt leaves nothing to be desired Construction progress is entirely satisfactory and the build ing will be completed far in ad- vance of the time limit specified in the contract.
