 Powerful Telescope Needed To get the greatest pleasure from the observation of Jupiter it is necessary to use telescope of at least two inch diameter of ob-
 jective, lens. With this, one will easily observe the movements If the four Galilean satellites; the re- maining five are very small and
 require the use of large instru-
 ment. This can be judged from
 the fact that Calico discovered
 the first four in 1610 and the next
 discovery did not take place until
 1892 when Barnard saw it first

 was from the study of the orbital
 motion of these Galilean satellites

The current month is particu- larly favorable one for the obser- vation of the planets. On our g o'clock map will be found Venus, Mars, and Jupiter as well as the telescopic object, Neptune. Pluto. also, is in Gemini above the west ern horizon but is visible only in a large telescope. The first three planets mentioned are, of course, visible without any instrumental aid. Mercury, too, reaches great est eastern elongation on May 26th and should be looked for just after sunset above the point of the horizon marked by the setting sun. Although this is not the most fa- vorable opportunity for observing Mercury as an evening star during the present year, it is sufficiently

 Councilman Lucian Lis asked what qualifications were necessary and Health Officer pr. l.. J. Du- mont stated that the state health commissioner would only approve a candidate with a public health background or other actual exper- fence. He also pointed out that the New Britain laboratory might be operated by a trained bacteriol- egist without the necessary exper- fence, but because it would not have state approval about one-half of its testing would have to be done in an approved laboratory. Council man Lis was the only one voting against Miss Sayles' appointment,

Locking the Stable.
(New York Times.)


 It was a favorite observation of Herbert Spencer that governments almost started to legtslate against an evil until that evil had already begun to cure itself Senator Borahs resolution is an
 ideal illustration of the point At time when practically nobody would dream of making loan to Europe he wants law prohibiting public or private loans to foreign governments outside the American continent. Had the Senator pressed so drastic 2 measure any time between 1919 and 1929 he might usefully have drawn attention to some of the reck- less foreign lending that was then going on His present bill almost perfect instance of
 locking the stable after the horse has been stolen The Senator gives two main reasons for wanting this law. One is that as war is practically certain to in Europe in few years any money loaned to Europe would be in aid of The other is that loans in Europe are unsafe. They are not good investments for people. Europe has repud- lated about $11 100000 which was loaned under the most sacred circumstances" Taking the last point first, and passing the point whether nation that has repudiated a seldom and unequvocal gold clause in its bonds should not be charitable in its judgments of others it may still be pointed out that Europe's record in paying private American lenders has not with the exception of Germanys been bad one It is certainly better the whole than South Americas, though MT. Borah's resolu- tion exempts southern neghbors from his pro- hibition Further, the record of foreign bonds in the New York Times tables of averages since 1929 is much better than that of our own domestic bonds With all the grave tariff obstacles have put in the way of receiving payment in goods, American investors last year received $3900 100000 in interest and dividends their foreign investments
 AS for European war it is at least conceivable that two or three years from it may not seem at all certain. In that case may have cp- portunity to make some safe loans that would be constructive and sabilizing We ought at least to be free to decide such question the merits of the individual case with the knowledge we will then have in hand instead of hamstringng our selves in advance by sweeping law that could only prove embarrassing.

Getting We'll Again.
(New York Times )

Among all administrators of the New Deal III Washington, MT. Jones of REC occupies the unique position of taking in as much he pays out. His latest report shows receipts last month Of $68,- 900 OoO compared with disbursements of $65,OO00O0 To operate in black ink rather than in red is no novelty for REC. If from accounts are excluded such advances as it has made to EZRA for relief of unemployment-essent bookkeeping trans action between two bureaus of the Government REC shows a net intake of S160000000 for the first eight months of the current fiscal year. This sum represents the margin of repayments of earlier loans over new advances =ss 4ts MT Jones calls attention to the fact that banks insurance companies mortgage loan. companies and building and loan associations all paying back to the Government much larger sums than they are now seeking to borrow from it. He interprets tnls as evidence that "the country is getting well again Certainly the financial panic, to combat which REC was created in the days of the Hoover Admnlstra- ton has completely passed. The banks no longer need Federal assistance in meeting the demands of frightened depositors seeking to withdraw thelr funds Bank failures in 1884 were the fewest in many years There is large supply of credit awaiting an opportunity for employment on safe and profitable basis
 The most important problem in which REC still has hand is that of strengthening the financial position of the railways. MT. Jones has on several earlier occasions stated. and now re- affirns the willingness of his office to assist in the reorganization of carriers which have been forced into bankruptcy receivership, provided terms can te arranged which are fair both to the railways and to the general public

KETCHIKAN'S CHAIN GANG.

Habtual law yiolators, especially those involving liquor and traffic going to find the going pretty tough down Ketchkan way, reports from the First City indicate. Authorities there about to revive the chain gang for repeaters, they say.
 The persistent drunk is the ban of family, friends and law enforcement officers and the driver who refuses to pay any attention traffic regula- tons is a menace to life and property, but revival of the chain gang as curb sounds little too much like the dark ages. The last Legislature passed two laws at the request of the District At torneys office in order to handle drunken and reckless drivers and drunk and disordery persons. In fact the drunk and disorderly statute has been invoked in a couple of here since it became effective with telling results.
 We hold brief for bad drivers persons who insist on drinking too much liquor but when there is adequate statute to cover such cases it seems like going long ways for recognition to revive that barbaric institution the chain gang We a little skeptical that the offenders in Ketchikan are any worse than they are anywhere else Chief of Police S.

effect osi cubing repeaters so we have decided on more effective means of punishment k
 The chain gang has no place in law enforcement in Alaska or anywhere else for that matter It is cruel, inhuman practice that grew out of the old slavery days in the South where it seems to hang on for publicity reasons if nothing else. It has no place among intelligent and thinking people What possible advantage can there be in putting human beings in chains to work out on the street in view Of their neighbors and friends? Not only would it tend to make the culprits themselves ii they have an ounce of spirit determined outlaws but why should their families be subjected to sucn bitter humiliation? Perhaps the law violator IS worthy of consideration but surely society owes something to that offenders children his friends and relatives

THE SKAGWAY UNDERTAKER.

Martin Itjen is Skagway's undertaken, among other things and it seems that when Martin under takes something it is pretty well done, judging from his recent successes, shall we say, in the film capital.
 For 36 years, since he with the gold rush, Hien had stuck to the North. Some years ago he fixed his car up to resemble street and inaugurated Skagway's official ballyhoo wagon He met the tourists at the boat and took them around to various points of interest in the town Soapy Smith helped make famous and he drove along he told his customers in picturesque style of early days in the north With his ready wit and subtle humor he became institution. The visitors loved it and Martin got ideas. He decided to make trip outside and take his street car' along. Born with a gift of catching the popular chord, the Skagway undertaken commented that he was going to see Mae West The idea flashed across the continent as the news hawks with word and picture described how Alaska's only street car" operator was going to Hollywood to see the movie queen. Itjen was made right then so far as publicity was concerned. The States welcomed him with open He spoke at Chamber of Commerce meetings and On the radio. Theatres clamored for his services and he packed 'em in from Seattle to Los Angeles.
 The other day Martin came home to begin his summer operations with his street car" His com ment on his winters journey was Boy it sure worth the trip" Next winter he is talking of making trip to New York.
 We would like to the Sage of 5kagway make his trip to New York wherever he wants to go, but we hope he doesn't go professional" through the urgings of press agent and easy money. IL would be a shame to take from Skagway and Alaska such eoorful citizen permanently and it would be a downright pity if he was exploited outside until people came to think of him sort of a patent medicine show. We hope Martin keeps his feet the ground, as they say, and remains the good Alaskan that he is and does not succumb to the lure of press agentry and become monkey cn a chain for the curiosity seekers in the States.

ITALY INVADES ETHIOPIA
October 10

On the above date, which will be the last day
of the Farmers Union state convention at Lewis
town, representatives of many other groups will
gather there. Progressive members of the last leg
Slature, labor union delegates, Farm Holiday men,
bers Socialists, TechnOcratS Workers Party leaders
and possibly Communists will be on hand. The pur-
pose is to frame legislation program for Montana.
No convention in the history of the state has
ever been important. 1t is perfectly clear to
every fair minded student of public affairs that
hope of any return to prosperity thru national &C
ton is nil. The Republican party is one hundred
per cent for Wall Street and will nominate one hun
dred per cent Wall Street candidate Roosevelt will
be renOminated on the Democratic ticket. He has
been is, and will be against Wall Street only by lip
service. Lack of finance AMI avenues of publicity
will prevent any radical party from getting far
toward capture of national power.
If betterment for the great mass of people,
workers, farmers and small business men, is to come
druing the next five six years, it must come thru
action within the states. The program formulated
at LewiStOwn will determine that line of action 1t
must be program designed to start taking Mon
tanaiS wealth and economic control away from our
absentee owners and landlords and not program
designed for the primary purpose of permitting
fawning politicians to ride to power.
