HARD LUCK FOR HOOVER.

Bishop Cannon who prefers to stay in Europe to testifying before the Senate elections investi- gatng committee predicts that President Hoover will be re elected He declared that the Democratic National Convention will be demoinated by Al Smith and that either Al Smith or Gov Roosevelt will be the party's Presidential nominee He said the President will again on platform decar- ing against any sort of modification of Prohibition, and that he the Bishop and all those who think as he does will again support the Republican nom- inee who will, he says, again carry the Southern States he carried in 1928. Cannon declared that he will be active in the next campaign in behalf of the President as he in the last
 President Hoover is certainly playing in ling of hard luck Bishop Cannon is a heavy load to carry-even though it be unwillingly.

MAKE THE FAIR SUCCESSFUL.

We have the word of Southeast Alaska Fair officials that this years Fair will have a better assortment of exhibits than any of it's predecessors and the circumstance that Ray Southard, veteran manager, will have charge of entertaining fea- lures is assurance that they will entertain.
 The rest of the work to make the Fair a success depends upon the people of Juneau. No Fair can be successful unless there is a large attendance. It is up to the people of this City to provide the attendance That is the only way to make the present Fair go big and it is the surest way to guarantee good Fairs in the future.
 The people who attend Fair make it sue cess not only by providing the revenues necessary but they make their own fun Get enough people into the big Fair building pleasure bent and there is sure to be a good time.
 So again, it is up to the people of this City to furnish the attendance and the carnival spirit. Go to the Fair at least once each day.

The Pistol Problem.
(New York World -Telegram)


 It's big news in London when the authorities consider the advsability of armng certain classes of the London police The British bobbys ability to take em with his bare hands has long been the wonder and admiration of other big cities of the world And surprisingly few London policemen have been shot.
 Whats happened now? We'll crooks in Great Britain are becoming gun-toters. Although the Brit ish restrictions firearms are rigorous guns are being smuggled in from the Continent.
 Which reminds us that in our saturated country the underworld is said to get many of its pistols from Spain.
 If economic depression is helping to spread the gun carrying habit among predatory classes of all nations even in England, it may become easier to get some sort of international regulation of that traffic in firearms.
 Far too little attention has been paid to this big factor in the crime problem. How much better to keep the criminally inclined unarmed than to dis arm them after they have taken heavy toll of human life!
 We have had ample proof hereabout that pos session of a gun often makes murderous criminal out of some semi-moron who, unarmed is only cringng coward.
 We have never yet really tackled this frearm problem It's time we did.

JUNEAU TEACHER BEATS THE
 GUESSERS.

Seattle newspapers carried stories last week that said Juneau High School English classes would be teacheress when the schools opened because Miss Dorothy Israes train failed to reach Seattle in time for her to catch the Queen An effort was then made by Miss Israel to get an arpane to Victoria and a bus from there to catch the pas senger liner at Nanaimo failed because fog pre- vented the airplane from making a trip that day. The story was sent by the Associated Press to The Empire.
 However, Miss Israel was on hand when the schools opened yesterday morning. She caught the fast steamship Alaska Saturday morning at Seattle which made a quick trip arriving in Juneau in ample time for the opening of the school.
 Juneau's popular teacher made bad guessers out of the Seattle newspapermen.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
 INCREASING.

According to Editor and Publisher newspaper advertising in the United States is again on the upgrade The greatest gain is in retail dealers additional patronage of the newspaper columns The change is accredited to the fact that the business houses that have devoted most money to advertising have suffered less from depression than those which have curtailed expenditures in that particular A large percentage of them have actually increased their business.
 This would indicate that there is a lot of money in the country for purchasing if the people can be persuaded to buy And that suggests that 1t will require production activity to supply the de- mand if the advertisers can create the latter.

Maybe if properly approached the editor of Int Longvew Daily News would transfer to the archives of this city letter which he says recently came into his hands, though how it got away iron both c. B. Bagey and Prof Edmond s. Meany i past understanding Dated October, 1880, it refer to the Seattle visit of President Rutherford B. Haye in these lines:
 It quite event for this little city. All the seamboats went out into the Sound to meet him. As the boat carrying Pres- dent Hayes, Mrs Hayes, General Sherman and Ramsey, Secretary of War, steamed slowly by the other boats, the crowds cheer ed lustily Cannon thundrered welcome. Bells ringing and every boat, mill and factory whistled for all they worth.
 They all very favorably impressed with the appearance of Seattle. Seattle is full of lawyers, doctors and ministers, and pretty girls were plentiful potatoes. The last paragraph it might be remarked zoe. to show that conditions have not changed here even in fifty-one years.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March %
(N.A.NA.) The neatest trick of the
week is the hold-up done in technicolor,
but without sound effects, by gunman
of skill and iron nerve on the home
bound theater party OF the Sydney
FranklinS.
Twenty-Five thousand was the haul
which the lone bandit took from the
seven persons in the Franklin automo-
bile. The gunman must have spotted
the big cream-colored Rolls when 1t
left the downtown theater with its
freight Of jewels and furred occupants.
When the car drew up on lonely
street to deposit the first of the guests,
gentleman, backing out of the ton
neau that he might assist a lady to
alight, felt the muZzle of a revolver
neatly nudging him in the spine.
'Stick 'em up and shut up!" was the
terse command.
And it's studio English, If you ask me,
and is one Of the type commands you
don't dicker over.
There was a Baguette diamond on
the hostess finger worth $4,000. A
platinum and emerald ring on her other
hand was valued at $4,000, and she car
ried $3.50 in cash in her handsome eve
ming bag, although her husband was
along.
Even the chauffeur was carrying $26.
and other members of the party, with
their platinum watches and various
jewels, rolled up the neat little total OF
$25, 900.
So If you've been doing your theater-
going in a flivver with the best girl
looking pretty slick In near-furs, you
can pity those poor guys in Hollywood
whose imported cars, emeralds, furs,
wallets and platinum wrist watches
bring the notice of the midnight lads
upon them.
