BORAH AND HOOVER.

While the Republicans have been crying about the Democratic Partys so-called eftists and right sts, 1t develops that within their ranks there has grown up couple factions which worrying the partys high command they look forward to 1886. It that what the G. O. P. disciples like to point to united front and party harmony has made exit and the crowned heads dash ing about frantically trying to form another union, especially for campaign puruoses
 The trouble in two words appears to be Borah and Hoover As much the Republicans hate to admit it. Senator Borah of Idaho is very much a left winger within their own party and one of the most potent forces On the right, conservative side, of the elephant fence is the former President champion of special interest property rights.
 The rank and file of the Republican Party is, of course, liberal demonstrated in 1892 when most of them voted for President Roosevelt, the Democrat, in preference to the reactionary Hoover But leadership of the party is still re- taned by the conservatives which makes sort of a mess for the chanters to iron out in their leisure moments from viewing with alarm the Democratic administration.
 Harmony has long been the motto of the minority party but it would appear that the G. O. P. chieftains have quite job cut out for themselves they get such widely separated views as Borah and Hoover incorporated into one formid- able unit.

SATURDAY, SET EMDEh H, l5os
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today, according to astrology. It is day in which to be especially guarded in speech. Libel suits are forecast as result of mud-throw- ing by public speakers. Radio priv ileges may be seriously curtailed
 While the early morning hours may be suspicious for signing con- tracts and entering into agree ments there should be delay in car rying out new business obligations
 Destructive planetary influences are abroad under this configuration It is day when unusual accidents may occur. Caution should guide, especially in aviation.
 Again astrologers foretell the use of explosives in many sinister plots and crimes. Robberies are to multi ply through the autumn and the winter will be period of great peril for those who hold coveted possessions.
 Labor continues under a rule making for discontent and determ- ined d m Il d S from employers. Leaders may be discredited late in the year when sensational events are presaged.
 Uranus is in place that encour- ages selfishness, greed and lack of consideration for others. Gain with out work will be desired by many and gambling will be widespread through the next few months.
 Even to those who do not read she meanings of the planetary po- sitions there are many signs that precede great wars and revolutions. One of the portents is the quest for excitement and amusement.
 France is to be even more anxious than in the past because of new groupings of the powers. Conserva- tive policies are to be fortunate for the country may emerge suddenly into prosperity.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of tests involving letters and newspaper publicity. Wise procedure will as- sure good fortune.
 Children born on this day will have keen minds and ready adapta- bility. Subjects of this sign may be creative and artistic.

Juneau Public LibraryIs

 Quarters Getting Too Small

She reported 5000 volumes in the library, most of which she desig- mated as 'usable material
 Asked if the circulation satisfied her expectations, she said: Tt is smaller than it should be for a town the size of Juneau"
 Part of this, however, she feels, may be the fault of the location. The library is on the top floor of the City Hall building, and acces- sible by two flights of stairs. Junior Circulation The junior circulation is most nearly S tandard," she remarked For the past six months-three of which have been vacation months the junior circulation has averaged l035 books per month. The adult circulation for the same period av- eraged 1854 per month"; Miss Coleman reported that the fiction department is in much bet ter condition tha many other. We especially need text books in the scientific departments" she said Any additional reference books are welcome. We are also in especial need of additional books on Alas ka."
 The library maintains itS usua- hours: l to 5:30 and 6:30 to 8:3O during which time the reading room and shelves are open to any wht care to visit them.

A Real Fish Story.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

tClnclnndL EuqulrerD The champion fish story of the ages is that of Jonah and the whale. But we have in Ameri- can history a fish story that admits of argument as to whether it is fact or false. When Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton making the boundary treaty between the United States and Canada the latter stood out for the Columbia River as a natural dividing line. Webster stood for the Forty y-ninth Parallel.
 The brother of the English Prime Minister was in the West, fishing the Columbia River. He had bad luck Either the fish were not educated to rise to fly or he was poor fisherman. Be that as it may, he was so disgusted that he wrote to his brother: There was no use making fuss about the country, it wasn't worth damn"
 So Lord Ashburton instructed to yield the point, and half of what is the State of Wash ngton saved to the Union On the other hand, Lord Ashburton would have traded the entire Can adian Northwest, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatche for two three of the northern counties in Maine. There where Daniel Webster missed out.
 But neither he anyone else in 1840 had the slightest Knowledge of the value of that vast re- gion dotted with prosperous cities and with wheat fields of magncient extent All that might have been ours. But Daniel Webster could not see it. In British Columbia, however they still sigh to think that an Englishman's bad luck in trying to catch salmon cost them such rich and noble territory

ENGLAND'S BALANCE OF POWER.

There is ample indication that Great Britain sti is the powerful nation of the Continent. When Italy first kicked the traces with Ethiopia, it was France that first started becoming excited Other European countries followed suit but there was no undue alarm until England entered the pie ture Since the British lion had taken a leading part in the discussions it has been matter of who is going to side with England and who with Italy
 Latest from the reveals that the smaller countries swinging to the side of Great Britain, which may have two answers, one that Englands power may yet be able to avert war and seconly, if open conflict must come Britain may be the best side to join.
 There is reason to believe that Mussolini's ag- gression probably is greatly tempered the result

For some tune, visitors to the Ju- neau Public Library have noted un- usual activity within its doors. Questioned as to the cause, Libra rian Ann Coleman disclosed that what she termed thorough re- hauling" of the catalog was in pro- gress.
 For 2 long time we have been hoping to get at doing over our catalog and reclassifying some of our non-fiction departments. So when we had an opportunity to get Miss Doris Stratton to help us in planning this work, we took ad- vantage of it. It was fortunate thing for us that she decided to spend her vacation in Juneau this year, as her knowledge of all the newest wrinkles was invaluable to us"
 Miss Stratton, who has spent the summer with her parents, MT. and Mrs. E. O .Stratton, is a recent graduate of the Library School oi the University of Washington.
 According to the librarian, this work of revising the catalog, reclas- sifying, and rejuvenating the non- fiction departments will require sev- eran months. When the work is completed, however, with as much of the obsolete material weeded out and replaced with up-to-date books as the limited budget will allow, the library will be, she promises, Fir better health than ever before in it; existence"
 Larger Quarters Needed
 The librarian further stated that during her seven years in office, the City has done everything possible to better the housing conditions of the library. We have reached the ab- solute limitation of expansion in our present location, however" she declared. If the library is to ex- tend its service and usefulness. ii will have to have larger quarters and a ground-flooy location"

Old Guard Portents.
(Omaha World Herald )

Note it MT. Lucas of Grocer Norris history, who just boiled the party for Presidential choice and got, somewhat to his discomfiture, Senator Borah. Reed Shoot, it is true, said he would take no part in next years fight-thereby handsomely opening the way to invitations to reconsider
 Recently the leader of them all gave voice From the hills of Concord, N. H., emerged the voice of George H. Moses, announcing his plans to go to next years convention and have part in choosing the nominee. Thus spoke the Old Guard in it's most authoritative voice-the voice that classified all of us Westerners sons of wild ackasses
 These signs and portents. They show the cold hard and fixed determination of the Old Guard to continue to rule matter whether ruin again follows their leadership.

SEPTEMBER 1s, 1915

The war still went on. In Petro- grad, representative gathering of Russian leaders at Moscow adopted resolutions declaring that the war must go on, at whatever cost, to a victorious end. All suggestions for peace, they said, must be reject ed. That the German agents were attempting to spread panic among the Russian people to create a de- mand for peace was charged by the war office. More than 200 men and women were arrested, who, posing as patriotic Russians, were alleged, nevertheless, to be Germans. An announcement was made that the General Staff warns the public as to the real origin and significance of these appeals, in the conviction that the great Russian people will not be shaken"
 Meanwhile, advices from Vienna said that Austria had called the year of 1897 to arms. There were 100000 of these 18-year-old sol diers. Every Bulgarian had been ordered at once to the colors and to avoid delay, notice was given that all expenses would be paid by the government.
 President Wilson was puzzling over the problem of what it would cost to bring the United States army and navy up to date. It was his hope that it could be done with less than $500,0o0,000.
 William Jennings Bryan opposed the proposed sale of British bonds in America until after the war. In speech in Minneapolis, he said: We cannot afford to jeopardize our neutrality for any monetary consideration. If Europe wants Am erican money let her send back American securities instead of ask ing our people to share in the -isks of war"
 It was reported that 100000 Ar menians had been massacred by Turks and Kords.
 
 Mayor John Beck ruled that the curfew, which had been under con- consideration for some days, be officially replaced by the nine o'clock mill whistle.

France and some of the other countries he might be able to out maneuver, but Britain in her slow but determined way is different problem Appar- ently she still holds the balance of in Europe and if she should decide to actually enforce the League of Nations sanctions it is possible that Italy may yet reconsider
 But England has much at stake in the war threatened lands the water especially India, and it may be that she does not feel the Ethiopian situation is worthy of expending her full force In that event Italy is likely to proceed.
