become crown prince at birth, The principle that the eldest son of the emperor should succeed to the throne was not established in Ja- pan until the adoption, in 1899, of the law of imperial succession.
 In the nearly 25 centuries which devout Japanese believe have elaps- ed since establishment of their dynasty in 660 B.C., the heirs to the throne have been chosen from among any of the sons, brothers or nephews of the reigning monarch, usually by the ruler himseI just before his death or abdication.
 Emperors Meiji and Taisho, the great-grandfather and grandfather of the new prince, were born be- fore sne present law was adopted. Hironito was born while his grand father was still on the throne and hence was only son of the crown prince.
 But Prince Akihito, from birth. has been the "Kotaishi Denka," or His imperial Highness," the Crown Prince, marked to become the 125th occupant of the august high seat" and to carry on the line unbroken for ages eternal of the descendants of the Sun God dess."

Ey G.-ENlT BA6B

70, Tco. 20.- A carefully charted lfa. leading to what his future c.. 5eess regard IS eminence mere tran mortal, lies ahead Of the in@ant or5vn prince Of Japan.
 Alrea Iy 2 household has been set up around the cradle Of Prince Aki- hito I -Miya, only son of Enp1r5r hirohito and Empress Na- galzo. Il addition to two nurses and numerous servants, a goVcrness has been appointed.
 Public Career Launched
 She is Viscountess Sci Osako, widow of a famous general. The earliest training of the future rul- CT is her responsibility.
 Later tutor, probably one of the empires most illustrious sub- jects, will be assigned to the boy. The tutor of the present emperor for example, was that hero of heroes, Admiral Count Heihachiro Togo, victor in the battle of the Sea of Japan.
 The public career of the infant monarch-to-be began on the sev- enth day of his life, his naming day" December 29. Then the big guns of the cruisers anchored off Tokyo and the artillery of the cap- ital's garrison, thundered the im- periaf 21-gun salute. Prince Akihi- to's life is likely to be succession of such salutes.
 Additional milestones of his life have been set up. It has been de- creed that on his seventh birth day he is to be invested with the grand order of merit and the grand order of the chrysanthemum, high est decorations of the realm.
 First Born to Purple
 At 10 he will be commissioned a sub-lieutenant in the army and navy. At 18 he will reach his ma jority and the whole nation will be en fete
 Perhaps none of the future festi- vals will surpass in spontaneity that which greeted the princeling's birth. One special reason for that was that he is the first of the Sun Goddess 2.500 year-old dynasty to

islation varies widely AS an article in The Times Magazine today points out, eleven States have chosen to try Government ownership and distribu- tion. Others have set up licensing systems of one sort or another Restrictions placed the pur- chase of distilled spirits regulations to where they may be sold and methods of taxing them show great diversity In the contemporary effort to deal with liquor as "a practical rather than a moral problem" we are witnessing what the late Senator Morrow described a revival of the old system of experimenting in many laboratories rather than in one"
 AS to the results achieved by one year of such experiment opinion naturally varies Certain gains seem clear Legalized hypocrisy has been ended Revenues which formerly poured entirely into the coffers of an illicit industry have been partially a time when they have greater need of funds Boot logging, while still a serious problem in many com muntes, now meets increasingly severe competition based on economic grounds Congestion of in the Federal courts has been reduced Less certain is the effect of repeal the of hard liquor and the cause of temperance. Here partisans on both sides cite with the same gusto that marked their nterminable debate during the Prohibition era conflicting estimates of consumpton, statistics of automobile accidents and police records of rests for intoxication.
 Apparently the popular verdict at the end of a year of repeal strongly favors a continuation of the experiment in progress rather than return to the regime of 1920-33 This is indicated by the fact that six States with Kansas alone dis sentng voted late in 1884 in favor of repeal after watching the course of the experiment. elsewhere On the first anniversary of the end of national Prohibition only handful of States in the South and West remains in the dry column.

A PERFECT CHOICE.

The choice of R. E. Robertson to be President of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is perfect
 MT Robertson has been tried President of the Chamber on other occasions. He has served several terms as Mayor. He is President of the School Board. Whatever civic task that is given MT Robertson, he accomplishes with distinction He is one of the outstanding and progressive leaders Of community.
 The cearcut outline of his program for the Chamber for the coming year is comprehensive and in every way commendable.
 With the same loyal support that has been given to the able and effective administration of President Gardner and the trustees who have just retired, the Chamber will continue its course of hepfulness under President Robertson and his effective Executive Board.
 He should and doubtless will, have the undivided assistance of the Chamber of Commerce and the community in carrying out his program.
