LEGISLATURE MAKES FINE START.

Yesterday the speed and harmony with which the Senate and House of Representatives perfected the organization details of the Tenth Alaska Leg islature promised fine things for the members n the performance of their official duties and excellent results for the people whom they represent It augurs well for the outcome of the session to have these from communities widely separated those from which they have come to Juneau arrive at a common understanding with so little friction and without any display of partisan politics. Of course, this lack of politics in organization is wholly in keeping with the precedent set by all of the present Legislatures predecessors who have eschewed partisan considerations in selecting presid ing officers the appointment of committees and the selecting of the employees of both branches
 The Senate has elected a Democrat to preside its deliberations while the House picked Republican for Speaker The fact that Senator Hess is a Democrat and Representative Winn a Repub- lican does not that the Senate is controlled by the party to which the President gives his allegiance, that the House will operate partisan basis because MT Wnn is Republican and majority of the members are, also, of that faith. In organizations limited in numbers they are, representative of men and women of all parties there is room or need for partisanship
 Both the Senate and House made splendid selec- tons, and yet they could have honored any of the rest of their membership without lessening the quality and caliber of the members to be given the honors MT Hess is real pioneer of the Territory. He has been intimately connected with the mining industry of interior Alaska for many years, and banker is familiar with other industries and business generally He brings to his post experience first in the House and later in the Senate which will be valuable asset to him and his associates in transactng the business that will come before them.
 Mir hac liypI of lie fa hara LIa is a product of the Juneau public schools aumnus of it's high school His previous legislative experience. his service in other public offices as well his training and experience as an attorney equip him splendidly for the Speakershp. His fair ness and that of Senator Hess is beyond dispute The Empire is confident that under their guidance the 1881 Legislature will make a record for effic- iency and harmony which will set a mark for their successors that will be difficult to surpass

CAUCUS DECIDES NOTHING.


 The Republican caucus in Washington at which MT Longworth and MT. Tilson again chosen to be Speaker and Floor Leader respectively for the next Congress decided nothing Its selections were rendered ndecisiye by the action of Is Republican members remaining away from the gathering. Nom inally the party has majority of one, and only if every member elected the Republican ticket should vote for the candidates approved by the caucus would it's organization of the House be assured But the recalcitrant 15, if they cannot be 'ured back into the fold before the next session convenes next December, unless called into special session earlier, by voting with the Democrats or not voting can upset the plans of their party and permit the organization of the House by the Demo- crats.
 In the end these insurgents are almost certain to be found aligned with their party the organi- zation fight. They have little to gain by putting the opposition party in power and much to lose The organization too, can afford to offer com promise which will permit the irregulars to save their faces" and thus both factions can claim victory. One other factor may upset these calcu- lations. It would be phenomenal if death did not cause changes in the elected personnel of the next House before December The death of one Re- publican member and the election of a Democrat in his place would reverse the standing and delegate the Republicans to minority position

Dr. Einstein's Universe.
(New York World.)

The Associated Press was fortunate enough to have man at Mount Wilson Laboratory in Cali fornia when Dr. Albert Einstein talked with two fellow scientists Wednesday. These scientists were Dr. Edwin C. Hubble and Dr. Walter S. Adams, discoverers of what is known the red shift" of island universes receding from the earth Dr. Enstein's interest in the discovery lay partly in it's bearing upon his theory of the shape of the universe. This shift of distant nebuae has smash ed my old construction like hammer blow he told the Associated Press The red shift is still mystery
 If we stop for moment to remember the bitter ness and the intolerance with which have quar- reled over questions of faith for centuries end the quiet remark of Dr. Einstein suddenly dramatic Men have been exled by their nations communicated by their churches and condemned to death or prison by their peers for daring to believe that the earth round or the sun star or the heavens to be millions of years older than Dr Einstein reconstructs his theory of the universe old shackes is science in the modern world that it occurs to to challenge his right to picture the universe he peascs
 Science has it's freedom in large part be- cause it has the confidence of modern men in it's integrity Dr. Einstein builds theory of the shape of the universe He buttresseS this theory with observations drawn from many sources. He is confronted suddenly in a laboratory California mountain with set of facts of whose existence he was unaware. His theory does not fit these facts. Very we'll he will scrap his theory. This red shift of distant nebuae has smashed my old construction ike hammer blow In the simplic- ity and candor of this statement is expressed at its best the spirit of modern science

The Land of the Racketeer.
(New York Herald-Tribune)

tNeW YOrk Herald-Irlbune)
 Tt has been estimated" writes Dr. Walter E. Spahr, professor of economics at New York Unl- yersity, that there some 200 rackets in this country involving 5,000o00 people; that the liquor racket alone paid bootleggers last year than $3,000 000000" His article is one of four published in last Sundays Herald Tribune, all of them from members of the N Y. U. faculty and all of them devoted to the subject-namely, the growth of the racket in American life and it's and
 The symposium is chiefly interesting for it's loyalty to generalities. Thus learn from Dr. Douglas H. Fryer, professor of psychology, that the phenomenon has it's source in the natural exhbi- tionism of the under dog and is fostered by the romantic publicity it receives The note is struck by Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy, who says We have rackets in our cities because we want them along with baseball games and band concerts" As for remedies, Pro- lessor Jay B. Nash, of the School of Education thinks that athletic games can be made to provide the moral equivalent of the thrills which under privileged youth finds today in gang activities and Dr. Spahr expresses the opinion that fearless and incorruptible honesty in government to offer the only solution"
 All of which it to us, begs the question Human nature in this country and age does not differ from that in other countries and other ages We have under dogs seeking revenge on the social order than to be found elsewhere rather fewer in proportion to population if there is any virtue in democracy. We make more fuss over Al Capone than grandfathers did over Jesse James or our remote ancestors over Robin Hood. We promote and encourage athletic sports among all classes to degree never equaled before any where. And we resent quite much other peo- pie dishonesty in government; scandals prove it. Yet the racket is peculiar to the United States. In no other civilized land does it flourish it does here and in on other period of history has t attained to the status of a social which it occupies at present.
 Of course, it is a product of human nature but why beat about the bush in explaining that it's ascendancy is the fruit of law without popular sanction, whose highly remuneratve violation has enthroned the underworld in midst? The liquor racket, Dr. Spahr indicates ranks among the greatest of national industries. It has de- bauched our local governments and through them bred most of the other rackets to which pay tribute It is the king and patriarch of rackets and it's patron saint is Mir. Volstead.
 No doubt rackets would continue should we abolish Prohibition but their progressive enfeeble- ment would date from such action. It is the only remedy short of complete reversal of human nature that promises any improvement

INFLUENZA NOT ALTOGETHER
 : DEMOCRATIC.

Perhaps no observation during the great influenza epidemic of l9l8-l9l9 was more common than the familiar comment that "the flu hits the rich and the poor alike" Apparently there ample ground for belief in the impartiaity of the disease Its widespread prevalence throughout the country, the frequency with which households in every social class attacked and the fact that prominent persons in every community were struck down were among the outstanding. undeniabe experiences in the epidemic. certain consolation seemed to be afforded by the thought that the pestilence was democratic even in so dreadful sense in its behavior.

President Hoover has directed

undertake organization" designed
to, afford drought and grasshop-
per SOURCE relief in the North
west, but whether this relief will
take the form of financial aid
from the Federal Government is
undecided.
Thus far, his order has been
interpreted by the department to
call simply for a survey of con-

Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota.
Mr.. Hoover issued statement
to the effect he had directed the
department to take steps to meet
the situation, pointing out that
while suffering was believed acute
in some sectors, the extent of
