2n YEARS AGO
From The Empire
MARCH Is, 1914

MARCH Is. 1914 A new, larger and better boat was to be purchased by the Juneau Steamship Company to take the place of the Georgia on the Ju- l neau-Sitka and Juneau -Skagway run, it was announced by w. E. Novel;, president of the company R. c. Mccormick, millionaire proprietor of the New Richmond, one of the largest of Seattle's ho- tels, and extensive property owner of that city, was visiting in Juneau and expected to remain for some time looking the city over. He had spent considerable time here during the early days of the town and was happily renewing old friendships.
 Mrs Sidney Charles and child ren, who had expected to leave Cordova on the Admiral Evans, were unable to leave as they were quarantined because of one of the children developing chicken pox.
 Weather for the preceding 24 hours was cloudy with rain. The maximum temperature was 39 de- grees and the minimum was 3l. Precipitation was 08 inches.
 Former Mayor Emery Valentine, who was reported to be arranging ticket for the coming city cleo tion, declined to make any an- nouncement.
 Much interest was reused by the Hard Time" ball to be given the following night by the young bachelors of the city, and all in- dications were that there would be large crowd, at the Elks hall. Many were expected to attend from Perseverance, Sheep Creek and Douglas Island. The hall had been beautifully decorated and the Juneau orchestra had been en- gagged. Everyone was expected to attend garbed in old clothes and to wear a bit'o green.

 Big Tom would know to a cubic yard how much rock and cement it would take to hold the flood waters in place. Perhaps she might learn how much patience and for bearance was necessary to check a quarrel.

 Before she could answer, one bar dissolved, ard the other two merged. Big Tom had gone below and Nor man had stepped close.

Republican ''Principles." "
(New York Times.)


 For some time an urgent appeal has come from Republican newspapers and local charmen for refrigeration of their party New leaders are called for but above all else sound principles and winning issues must somehow be found. On Monday the Republican members of the Senate of the United States stepped forward nobly to fill the order Every last of them voted for amendment favoring added pensions for veterans of Spanish War, the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine Insurrection which would at take So0,000,UU0 out C. the Treasury Eighteen Democratic Senators also voted for this amendment. while thrtynine Democrats supporting the President against it. Other amendments of the kind, equally wasteful and in- defensible, adopted yesterday.
 It cannot be that many of these Republican Senators believe this legislation to be either ranted safe. They know that it will open the Treasury to further raids ret in order to register opposition to President Roosevelt, and, still more Important to make bid for the so-called soldier vote' they were willing to forego their personal convictions for the sake of scoring, they think, a party point. These the very Senator's be it noted, who will be organizing political cam the extravaganza of the Democratic Administration. But there they are themselves proposing to cut $1OO,00O0O0 or from the effective economy wrought by the President.
 Glaring inconsistencies of that kind will not, of course, greatly trouble Republican politicians. But where in this display can be discovered those sound principles which to be framed for the next Republican platform? In all this business the Republicans seem to be reversing the experience of Saul He went out to search for and found a kingdom. They searching eagerly for king dom, but seem to be able to turn up only lot of asses.

change of British Honduras for
Lower California. Assume fur
Their that Mexico accepts. I'm
less we abandoned our nations
old policies, we should not be
willing to allow this exchange
to be made. But there is no
apparent principle of interna-
tiOnal law which would be viO-
lated by such a transfer.
"Such a situation would
leave two courses open to us,
either fight to keep Britain out
of possession of it or adjust the
matter by peaceful means.
Threat to Security
IF we threaten war, Britain
could either fight or invoke the
provisions of Article IL or Ar
ticle II of the Covenant. If
we did not wish to fight, we
could invoke Article IL on the
thesis that by signing the
League Court protocol and
adopting the Court statute we
had rendered ourselves amen
able to this arbitrable provision
of the League Covenant as we
admit we have done to the ad-
visory opinion provision of Ar
ticle IA.
If we went to arbitration, it
is difficult to see how we
should be able to win our cause
if the Court acted as a judicial
body, for there is no interna-
tiOnal law prohibiting nations
from exchanging territory. If
we went to the Council, it is diff
ficult to see how that body
could declare that two nations
might not do that which inter-
national law, custom and prece-
dent said they could do, merely
because a third power, which
was only indirectly and pOten-
tally affected, did not wish
them to do it. In this view the
Council would make an award
against u.s."
What would happen then?
Is there any candidate for the
Senate this year, Democrat or
Republican, who thinks the
United States would not regard
a British, Japanese or other
foreign naval base at Magdalena
Bay as such a threat to our
national security and safety "as
not to be tolerated and so under
take to prevent by force" any
foreign power from occupying
that territory, in spite of the
award made against us by the
League?

BILE cases cited in Mr.. Clark's
brief which might arise if this

The Human Side of the News
Span of Life Lengthens-War Against Cancer
BIZ Edwin C.. Hill

The two doctors Mayo, per-
haps the greatest name in
American medicine, produce real
news with their confident aSser-
ton that the normal span of
life will soon be 10, instead Of
60, as it is at present, and twice
the IS it was a hundred years
ago.
The world and his wife sit up
and bend an attentive ear when
the brothers Mayo have opinions
to express. They have strong
hold on the public imagination.
Their life story is unusually in
teresting.
It was just So years ago that
a country doctor out in Roches-
ter, Mimi, let his two sons
help him a little in st. Mary's
Hospital, established by the Sis
tiers of st. Francis on condition
that the old DR.. Mayo be it's
chief. Today, those two sons,
DR.. William James Mayo and
DR.. Charles Horace Mayo, are
rounding out a lifetime Of i'm
measurable service to science
and to their fellowmen.
Light of Genius
They are in the news often.
It is a rare month in which no
college or scientific society or
foreign government fails to pay
them honor. DR.. William now
tells us: "The list of diseases
which can be cured is ever in
creasing and the span of life is
being heightened. We are be-
ing brought appreciably nearer
to the day when there shall be
no unnecessary deaths"
William Mayo is nearing 70.
His brother, Charles, SO. They
were born and reared in Mime
sofa in the days of stage coaches
and hostile Indians. Their doc
tor father trained them in his
own path, sent them off to col
lege and put them in a drug
store when they returned.
The Sisters of st. Francis
went to Rochester to minister
to the victims of a tornado. The
hospital was built. And in less
than 10 years the world was
wearing a path to Rochester, to
its hospital and to the two
brothers whose light of genius
Shone across all the seven seas.
They have held rigidly to
their special work-Dr. Charles
operating from the throat up,
and DR.. William from the throat
down. They make no distinc-
ton among their patients. The
millionaires must go through
the same routine that applies
to the poorest patient. When
the railroad king, James j. Hill,
sent the Mayos a check for
$4,000, they returned it to him
with information that in due
course he would get his bill.
It was the same James j.

Senatorial Candidates Must
Tell League Court Views
Bu James T. Williams Jr.

One-third of the membership
of the United States Senate will
be elected this year. Every can
didate for the Senate owes it
to his constituents to tell them
whether he is for or against
entering the League of Nations,
either by the front door of the
League Covenant or the back
door of the League Court.
Ratification of the League
Court protocols, which are now
before the Committee on For
eign Relations, would take the
United States into the League
through the back door entrance
to that entangling political al
lance.
Consideration of these intri-
cate engagements has been
postponed until the Senate re-
convenes next January. Final
action on these proposed
treaties may we'll be the most
important action of the next
Congress.
Some people seem to think
that the United States under
these protocols could go into
the Court and then leave it
whenever a question came up
which this country thought
ought not to be tried by the
Court. That theory is exploded
in the able brief filed with the
committee recently by no less
an eminent jurist and diplo-
matist than our former Am
bassador to Mexico, Honorable
Reuben Clark, jr.
Take for example the obliga-
lions under Article 10 of the
League Covenant.
Example Shows Danger
Members of the League agree
in this article Ito carry out in
good faith any award that may
be rendered" and not to ere
sort to war against a member
of the League which complies
Herewith"
It is also provided in this
same article that in case of
failure to carry out an award,
"the council shall propose what
steps should be taken to give
effect thereto"
Ambassador Clark calls at
tention to the fact that this
jurisdiction of the League may

the League Court.

BIZ John SnUre, Jr.

The wolves of Wall Street will
do some yapping when they dis
cover the real James M. Lands,
the young Harvard professor
who is expected to head the new
Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
Lands is no "sOfty."
Born of missionary parentage,
he is as inflexible as rock.
His education at Princeton
and at Harvard Law School,
where he later became a pro-
lessor, failed to make him
pliable.
When President Roosevelt
wanted someone to draft stock
control legislation he appealed
to DR.. Felix Frankfurter, dean
of the Harvard Law School.
Frankfurter recommended Ian
dis, who came to the Federal
Trade Commission and began to
draft the securities act.
He first wanted a separate
commission to administer the
law. Then it was rumored that
Lands would be appointed to
the new commission and oppo-
sition developed. Lands capitu-
lated and decided that the Fed
eral Trade Commission should
handle the law but develop
ments on Capitol Hill forced
authorization of the separate
agency.
The President has listened to
Lands, and the young college
professor, given his first taste
OF power, has found the elixir
sweet.
If appointed to the commits
sion, and in all events the ap-
pointment will not be made
until Congress adjourns because
of opposition, Lands will rule
the agency with an iron hand,
acquaintance say. He dislikes
opposition.
Friends say he has a tendency
to ascribe improper motives to
those whose views conflict with
his own ideas.
He believes that Wall Street
operators are bad animals that
should be tanned.
Personally, Lands is "hu-
man." He likes bridge and
some other games of cards and
when occasion demands will
participate in a bit of good old
fashioned fun.
He is close to the President.
Whether he is right or not,
he is mad at Postmaster Gen.
eral Jim Farley these days. He
has the idea that Farley may
have disagreed with him on
matters he considers impor-
tant. And he is bitter.
Political methods seek strange
channels at times.
There are men on Capitol
Hill who disapprove of a bit
of political strategy used by
President Roosevelt in connec-
ton with the confirmation Of
Rexford G. Tugwell as Under
secretary of Agriculture.
Senator Ellison d. Smith Of
South Carolina, chairman Of
the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture, strongly opposed Tug
well. He had letters from all
