WELCOME TO THE LEGISLATORS.

Juneau extends to the members of the Alaska Legislature who will shortly take up the job oi making laws for all of us, a sincere and hearty welcome
 For SO days the men from other parts of Alaska will be the guests of our city, busy with many matters of primary importance to the Ierrtory, During the session Juneau hopes they will find this a hospitable community, friendly and willing to assist any way possible with the tasks at hano
 Undoubtedly the session will be busy one for it's members There is plenty of work to do, a number of problems to solve that will require the best efforts of each and every member, entaiing long hours of committee study well as the normal work in the regular daily assemblies. A goodly per- centage of the membership however, with consid- erable legislative experience back of 1t, will flnd more or less fun about the proceedings.
 This session. the tenth in line, will be more fortunate than its predecessors in that it will sit in quarters designed for it rather than in the temporary, makeshft accommodations which for mer Legislatures of the Territory have had for conduct of their work This should be an added incentive toward greater effectiveness in lawmaking
 More than this year. economy will appar- ently be the legislative slogan Public leaders in and out of the Legislature have been outspoken to this end On all sides the sentiment prevails that there must be no increase in the general tax burden If that desire is fulfilled there must be a restriction
 
 revenues the next two years will be curtailed by existing depression If there is to be no increase taxation schedules it is necessary therefore that appropriations shall be reduced.
 In order to lessen the cost of government it is essential to bring about proportonate decrease in government. There seems to be wide public recognition of this fact since there is general ad mission that the Territory for the time being at any rate get along very nicely with fewer governmental activities. The task seems to be fol the Legislature to distinguish the essential func- tions, which cannot be suspended without disas- trous effects to public welfare, and the non essentials which can be held in abeyance temper. arily without serious injury.
 The people of Juneau who usual extend tt the lawmakers the opportunities for social life dur ing their visit here, familiar with the problems the Legislators face. If they aid by making their stay pleasant in this any other manner they will feel that their hospitality has beer worthwhile.

Yesterday and Today.
(NeW York Times. )

Four thousand years ago travellers the Westerr Asian desert, when setting out upon journey made prayer to 'the protector of desert paths" The image of the patron goddess which has just been unearthed by Dr. Woollen in UT of the ChaldeeS indicates their terror of the open. The city sat huddled behind it's walls, but there the pro- phecy of woe was that the place of palaces should become a waste, a habitation of jackals and court for ostriches.
 The wild beasts shall meet with wolves and the satyr shall cry to his fellow.
 The night monster shall settle there. The arrowsnake shall make her nest and lay and hatch and gather under her shadow Of modern dwellers in the desert it is said that though they toll not bodily their spirits are made weary with incessant fear of enemies and their flesh with continual thirst and hunger But the nomads thoughts clothed in re- lgion" They the poverty of the soil about them, full of peril, hardly sustaining them," and the Armament above them "the habitation of the Divine salvation" Prayer is the communion be- tween the two, and its answer is not only for safety but for the coming of water, the rejoicing and blossoming of the desert. stranger in the desert paths who does not pray is looked heavily upon" by those who know its rewards and punish ments.
 On the very day of the report of the discovery Of this ancient shrine of the protectress of the desert paths also the announcement of the blessing of those who with motors visit the shrine of St. Christopher, dedicated few weeks ago here in New York. It is evidence that men and women continue to believe that divinity still shapes ends and protects our paths in the midst of the crowded streets as well as in the desert But no prayer is effective not made by one devouty seeking to do his part in insurng safety to those who ride in the blest cars or who share the streets and roads with them
 I It is gratifying that accidents to children arc fewer despite the increase in traffic. St. Christophel is always represented as carrying child

The Yelp from Senator Nye.
CNew York Herald-Tribune.


 That old "meany" Senator Moses really ought to know better Last week, between the of Senatorial thunder he caused to be printed in the Record a set of items which seemed harmless as they certainly are dull. These items the ex- pense account of the committee headed by Senator Nye, which spent last summer investigating the campaign expenses of various Senatorial candidates It would seem that man with Senator Yves long nose who probes into other persons affairs with such obvious relish, ought not to mind having the expenditures of his own shopping junket known to the public It would further that even if he did mind, his intelligence would teach him to keep quiet about it.
 But Senator Nye is little whose intel- gence has never been much in evidence since he came to Washington It thus happened that he yelped like a dog whose tail the garbage pail had suddenly fallen. There ensued of those deli ciously complicated discussions of which only Sen ators capable-and then only when their chances of reelection to be imperiled. Such graceful titles "the Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent Expenses of the Senate" were vaguely alluded to, and Senator Nye, to his words, was disturbed by the account of "how lavshy Wye lives when he is out Government expense how literally he tips what extraordinary and lavish accommodations he insists upon having" Plainly, Senator Nye bothered by it all. What, he asked will North Dakota say?
 Our guess is that North Dakota, knowing Senator Nye will not say much. The SIP dinners for "op- eratives," the money spent entertainment" and the liberal spent by Senator Yves brother will be explained away Senator Yves little bit to promote business recovery-by spending until it hurts. Only the few who are as mean Senator Moses will be bothered by the fact that the money belonged to the public.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.

Recently pr. Nicholas Murray Butler was the recipient of warm praise for raising the graduate school of medicine of Columbia University to the status of university. This step was characterized and properly too, as educational statesmanship It was forward step in promoting the medical science by making available to members of that profession knowledge of all the latest discoveries and develop ments in the diagnosis and treatment of human ills.
 This is of course the age of specialists. notably so in the medical profession Men trained in the art of treating one kind of disease naturally become more expert than those who have not been specially trained for it. But there is for regret that with the advent of this type of practice the old style family physician is disappearing from the scene. No agency of any social order ever equalled him in the value and satisfaction he rendered to those who came under his ministratons. He it was who was the counselor and guide in all health matters. and sometime wider scope to both family and individual from the cradle to the grave The personal relationship that existed between him and his patient has not been. and probably never will be

REJUVENATING THE "CHICHAGOF." :"

The statement of MT. James L. Freeburn that he and others have acquired lease and option to purchase the famous old Chichagof mine property is of the bright spots in current mining developments It is the hamburger of a re- juvenation of property which was for years one of Alaskas richest producers and may herald a revival of mining on Chichagof that will put that district back into more than local prominence
 MT. Freeburn was in active charge of the opera tions of the Chichagof during its greatest pros- perity. He is familiar with the property than anyone who has been connected with it since he left it. His willingness to return there indicates more strongly than anything else could do the pos abilities of the ground which has been for some time generally regarded worked out Juneau welcomes him back to the district and wishes for him and his associates every measure of success

duplicated by the specialist. The more or less cold impersona1 and scientific attitude of the latter does not inculcate in those to whom he ministers that feeling of confidence and trustfulness that inspired by the genuine friendship and Gympa- thetc which the old family doctor displayed and which in many cases certainly played as large if not larger part in healing as the medicines pre- scribed. The specialist may feel the same concern but his training has not been broad enough for him to get it over, or has not made him aware of the necessity for it's in his ministrations
 The specialist is needed and his services cssen- tia at times, But by and large he views his patient ease" solely to be met professionally. Gener- ally, in turning to him, the average individual pre- fers that the old family physician should be .he one who say when he is needed and who is the particular expert that is best suited to treat his csae

Butler Reprimanded.
(New York World.)

With an explanation from General Butler ad- mitting that he was 'ndiscreet' and a reprimand from Secretary Adams, expressing "disapproval" of the speech of January 19, we seem to have reached the end Of a somewhat troublesome episode. On the whole, it would seem that the Navy Depart ment was well advised to call off the court-martial and wash up the affair with exchange of notes As we pointed out last week, there was no point in going further, for all conceivable ssues both diplomatic and military had already been settled trial would have meant undesirable publicity and would have had the additional defect that only sea lawyer could have told what question the court had before it. All things considered the department probably took the best way out
