DECISION BOON TO MINING INDUSTRY

Under a Denver Colorado date-line the Asso- ciated Press yesterday wired and radioed The Empire that a survey of the Western metal and mining industry credited the New Deal with the gold vic- tory in the Supreme Court in removing the chief obstacle Of fear and that the result will be .o bring fortunes to those men who seek them in silver and gold Leaders expressed themselves that the decision would definitely restore confidence in mining and uncertainty over the future
 All of which is good news for Alaska, and an other of numerous examples of what the New Dea, has meant to the Territory. w
 As has been repeated at various times in this column the largest wealth of Alaska is yet to come from the hills. Af le
 The prospectcr the pioneers in mining develop ment should he afforded encouragement by Alaskans and by the Territory itself
 Two bills introduced in the Senate yesterday and similar bills in the House directed along the lines of helping mining and should be given most thoughtful consideration by the Twelfth Legislature
 One of the most profitable and assured invest ments for the future, the Territory can possibly make is in adequate and proper aid to prospectors developers of mining property, and to encourage others to become interested in the development o known good prospects
 It might well be said that more than ever before the whole world is searching for gold Delegate Federal Government, the Territory should do its share and in setting the legislation for it should carefully outline the possible expenditures that the greatest good for the whole Territory will benef from the proposed legislation.

The Ultimate Price of Relief.'
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Trbune.)
 Recently morning newspapers gave very obscure position to little news item from London about al nan who had besn on the dole for eleven twelve years and who sentenced to month of hard labor because he had refused to learn trade in classes conducted by the Government This sentence was passed under the British relief regulations, which provide for assistance in cash to all the unemployed but which penalize beneficary's fail ure to seek work diligently. Remote and trifing as this incident may seem, it is an excellent illus tration of principle involved in the giving and taking of every form of public relief which it is most important that the Government and people should understand clearly at this time.
 This principle is that in this world there is not likely to be any such thing a free gift from government The citizens acceptance from govern ment, local or national, of benefit, privilege or
 tight entails an obligation When the citizen claims accepts police protection he enters into contract to obey police regulations So when needy citizen accepts a special benefit from his local national government he assumes a special obligation to that government He tactly agrees to exchange some
 hing that is his to surrender for that special benefit All political history and human experience show that what he surrenders is part of his personal free tonl.
 This not only applies to freedom of choice in political matters, which has already occurred to many critics of the present Administrations lavish expenditures for relief It also involves personal liberty. If the Government in the interests of he taxpayer who replenishes the Treasury it must show some kind of returns these expenditures; and the time will come, surely winter frost follows summer rain when the Government impose arbitrary authority and discipline the recipients of its largess to get results The time must come, as it has come in England, when the relief beneficlarys freedom of movement and free choice of occupation strictly limited by law. If the Government is going to employ millions on public works it must eventually the right to go into congested industrial where there is no immediate hope of recovery marshal the regiments and armies of its employees doe takers, and order them-bag, baggage and families 10 whatever quarter of the land the buresucrats in charge think advisable, just it orders military naval unit hther and yon. The time must also come when, to get results government must assume the same command over the move nients and work of the employees of every private industry corporation that it substitutes When that time comes the rights of the American citizen will differ in essential respect from those Of 8 ;itizen of the Soviet Union

true sense of justice as well as the knowledge Btraining and all round ability requisite in such a position Moreover the Judge is virile. energetic and handles hisfwork with clarity and dispatch From all indications, Judge Helenthals court will not be filled with delayed accumulated business and he will hold the respect and con- fidence of the people and the nation he serves.
 On the bench and off, Judge Hellenthal has proved himself worthy, affable and kindly, as well strong His formal nomination as Judge was made to the Senate a few days ago by President Roosevelt. Beyond question he will be confirmed AS an Alaskan of long residence and citizen of highest standing his selection will have not only the ratification of the administrative and legislative branches of the Government but also the warmest endorsement of Alaskans

Court of Third Division.
(Anchcrage Timcs.l

The first jury term of the United States District Court of the Third Judicial Division of Alaska to be held in Anchorage under Judge Helenthal, has just been concluded and the official staff has de- parted for the court headquarters in Valdez.
 Judge Simon Hellenthal, presiding Judge of the Division, and all members of his staff were here. They were warmly welcomed their arrival and they have departed richer in the esteem and friend ship of the people of Anchorage
 The Judge and all members of his staff have proved not only capable and efficient in their of ficial duties but likewise most likeable courteous and worthy friends of the true Alaskan spirit
 It is gratifying in particular that Judge Helen thai has proved such splendid selection for the eminent position to which he has but recently been appointed.

It had been raining cats and
dogs, ,-but near the corner Of
Broad and Main 1t began raining
umbrellas.
The two umbrellas came TO-
gether with bump and o slash
and Mona Baker, cashier at Perry'i
restaurant, raised startled, angr,
eyes to the two-foot rent in this
fabric OF hers. And she had beer
so happy as she left her job thai
evening and began the four-blocl
walk to her home.
She peered angrily through the
rent and saw wide, masculine eye:
staring at her apologetically. Sht

la high, so that there might be
nothing between him and hel
wrath.
"Why don't you look where
you're goingi" she cried angrily.
She looked down at her um-
brella, thinking morosely of the
nickels and dimes she had saved
SO long to get it--and this was just
the beginning Of the rainy season.
She looked up.
The young man was regarding
her streaming face with woeful
eyes. Tim so sorry" he apol-
ogized. @"I - wouldn't for the
world"
And then his eyes went to the
tear in her umbrella. He moved
closer and held his own protect
ingly over her.
Take mine" he begged. I've
ruined yours
Mona stared straight into the
blue eyes when asked so humbly
for forgiveness-and found herself
smiling, though rather ruefully.
The young man matched her smile
with one somewhat broader.
You'll never know how sorry
am" he said, '.but accidents will
happen, you know"
She eyed her umbrella sadly.
"You are very destructive young
man"-sternly.
He took her umbrella, folded it,
and thrust 1t under his arm.
"1'll get you a new one in the
morning." he promised. "A bigger
and better one. One that will pro.
tect you from the hardest rain, and
also from destructive young men"
Mona glazed again at her clean
cut face and found herself smiling.
And wondered at it. for cashiering
in a restaurant had taught her not
to smile at young men. SO many OF
them seemed to think that friend
ly smile was either an invitation
or a promise---or both.
"I couldn't think Of letting you
buy me an umbrella" she said
primly. =.
"Just don't think about IL, then"
he said, grinning, and added, the
least can do now is to see you
safely and dry1y home"
Mona looked down at her dress.
"Safely will have to do, I'm afraid"
she added sadly--but not too sadly.
BY the time they reached her
home he was just as wet as she
was, and she had learned that his
name was Jim Fielding, that he
had been in town only a month,
that he was the managerr OF
new store, that his teeth were
white and even, and that he had

He shivered again, violently.
Wont You come in for few
minutes" she invited. After all,
she told herself, she couldn't let
such a nice young man be taken
with pneumonia on her front
porch.
An hour later he had told her
all about himself, and Mona
had found 1t q very entertaining
story. She thought this stronge, for
heretofore she had found the self
revelations of men tiresome. She
told him quite . number Of things
about herself - that her parents
were dead, that she lived here with
an aunt, that she was not engaged.

asked abruptly, after short pause
in the conversation.
She looked at him dreamily.

Startled, she looked up at him,
and then quickly away, for his
eyes were making a confession Of
their own.

looked at him in surprise.
"W--why, never noticed you,"
she said.

her again, and her eyes went

wouldn't notice me, just left 1t up
to fate. You may not believe 1t, but
fate brought us together this after
moon"
Mona looked up at him then. her
heart missed beat, and she said
softly to herself, 'Hurrah for fatei"
Some time later she offered to
make him cup of hot tea. She
left the room and went into the
hallway, headed for the kitchen.

sharp pointed nail fixed securely
