But the Swarthy towel-wearer sees
hope for the Republicans. in the fact
that 1896 Is the 160th anniversary
of the plundering of Boston by the
British. From this act sprang the
Revolution and the Revolution sprang
independence, and the eternal liberty
guaranteed in the Constitution.
&EVERAL other anniversaries will
be celebrated in 1886 to give
Postmaster General Farley excuses
for issuing bigger and prettier postage

warming to the cookies of the Amer
lean heart are:

institution Of higher learning in
North America, 1886.
Washington meets with Congress

Some other famous events which
might be marked in 1886 are the
death Of Robert Burns, in 1796; first

in 1866; opening Of the first railway

drive automobiles on British high

But the past is going to get short

celebrated. The Republicans are out

run on a track built of oratory, ci-

Long Range Fears.
tNew York Times.)


 In a letter to The Herald Tribune Senator Borah utters cry of alarm about next years Presidential campaign He has heard rumors-as have others, for that matter-that a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States may be nominated for the Presidency in 1886 Two names, the Senator writes without identifying them, already under serious consideration guess at these personalities could hardly go wrong If either of them is made candidate next year it will be because his opinions as a judge have been satisfactory to the political party proposing to nominate him, and are likely to fit a platform calling for the defense of the Con- stitution and of the Supreme Court itself Senator Borah rightly maintains that such a course as he describes would be very damaging to the prestige and integrity of the court, and would be demoraliz ing thing in our political life. He does not refer to the fact that MT. Hughes was taken from the Supreme Court in 1916 to run against President wilson; nor does he argue that evils of the kind he now dreads followed that event at that time He perhaps content to let the reader infer that it's results were not of sort to encourage repe- ttion of the experiment.
 That it will ever be tried again is strongly inn probable If the defense of the Constitution is to be made political isue, there plenty of men outside the Supreme Court able to lead that fight Should there be a turn in popular sentiment lead ing to attacks the Supreme Court, and to at tempts to alter it's personnel restrict it's juris- dction, the country would not lack for trained and disinterested lawyers volunteering to repel such invasion. It would seem, in fact, that Senator Borahs fears, while doing him credit, really unnecessary. Political gossip a year before the national conventions is often wide astray in the matter of predicting who will be nominated and for what reasons. One would say that the likelihood of the Republican Party choosing it's Presidential didate next year from the Supreme Court is so small as to be negligible in all our political cal cuations.

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE HAZARD.

Action to strictly enforce the building ordinances of the city has been taken by the City Council and in this determination to eliminate the fire hazards the officials should have the wholehearted support of all property owners in Juneau. Fire is the worst menace always facing city and where there are a great number of wooden structures in close proximity too much care cannot be taken to see that every possible danger guarded against far possible.
 Fire Chef V. w. Mulvhill in discussing the mat ter with the Council explained that buildings were being erected without adequate fire escapes and that a number of structures in the city fire menace to adjoining property. He contended the owners were making no effort to remedy the situation.
 One of the most vivid examples to us in Alaska of what fire can do to a city the conflagration that laid the city of Nome in ashes last year While we may go along, as We are too often wont to do, under the misguided impression that such disaster is no respecter of persons or things Every large city in the States now enforces it's building ordi- nances to the letter and a result many of them have been able to force down insurance rates al the same time avoiding any serious loss iron flames
 Full cooperation should be given the city of ficials in this endeayor to make Juneau safe as well as more attractive place. Building owner in complying fully with the law will not only b protecting themselves but they are guarding agains a loss that might strike the entire community Ie Us watch against such a calamity Nome ex perienced

(New York Herald Tribune.)

The man who put on Punch and Judy show in the hotel parlors the maiden lady who exhibited of local scenery in the card room the piano violin and clarinet that tuned up about dinner time and with auxiaries played "ThereN Be Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight at the Sat- urday hop; these were about all the art and the artists any could see at a typical American summer resort in 1899. The croquet grounds, the shuffle- boards, tennis court or two, maybe, were usually the only side dishes served with the piece de resistance of notwithstanding boating, fishing, tramping It was a big day when the hotel walters who were working their way through college played ball against the guests one of whom had pitched for Yale in eighteen ninety -what-not.
 What would the good old days say of art and sport at modern summer resort; symphony orches- tras playing in natural amphitheatres. summer stock in easy driving distance of hundreds of resorts art schools everywhere and numerous summer exhibi- tions of painting where beginners, amateurs and great and minor regulations rub frames and elbow? How about these forums and conferences where experts and celebrities tell how to the world or with all it's faults accept it and love it? There can be sneering at uplift, for these are now things that people really want to enjoy just as sincerely they enjoy golf sailing riding or the sun and the water amount of bare skin that would have been a scandal among the fast set at Long Branch in 99.
 But the change that has come life at Amer ican summer resorts does not need to go back a generation for strong contrasts. It has occurred mostly in the last ten years; much of it in the last three or four and argues swift and devel- opment of the American people; extension and varying and balancing of interests that follows the Old World pattern somewhat but already improves upon it in scope and strength. "Ig tell you what i it is Mister when take up culture we'll make l it humi" We can echo the old jeer with very bland smile; and while our theatre, music, paint ing begin to feel not the least nferiority those of the Old World, even in more or less casual sum- mer manifestations we'll keep our muscles and sense of humor in better order than those of some folks could mention who went in for art here and abroad in the good old days.

REAL ASSET TO CITY.

One cf Juneaus most important attractions is being put to the official test this week and from reports thus far there is every indication that it is living up to expectations. This is the rifle range at Mendenhall Glacier, recently completed by the Forest Service. The Navy riflemen using the range during their stay here and when the soldiers arrive from Chilkoot they too will make of the facilities
 Built alongside Of Mendenhal Lake in the shadow of the glacier the range is said by experts to be of the best. It has the only lO00-yard range in the Territory and of the few ranges of that length il the country From the attractive log shooters cabin ranges have been constructed at 10o 200, 300. 500, 600 and 1,000 yards, all meeting the full requirements of the National Rifle Association
 Conceived by Regional Forester c. H. Flory about a year ago. the range was brought under actual construction this spring, the Forest Service doing the work with eco crews under the direction of William Fromholtz, construction foreman after de- tails had been worked out by Dan Moler.
 Ultimately there is the possibility that the range will become even more of recreation place. There plans tfor other gun ranges for ice skating rink the lake and other outdoor amusement. The possibilities are many fold But in the mean time the range is completed and available for the Navy and the Army. The Forest Service has pres ented the community with real asset which it can do well to foster in every way.

20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
July 22, 1915

The uppermost question in Lon don was when Warsaw. would be evacuated, not whether or not it would. There was no other feeling anywhere than that the Polish capital was doomed and would fall into the hands of the Germans. The Teuton drive on the Russian lines was such that there seemed no possibility of it's being stem med.
 Fresh outbreaks of forest fires that the previous week had played havoc with standing timber on the Government road to Mendenhall Glacier about nine miles from Ju- neau had called out fire fighters for a new battle. For two days the Treadwell company had had a crew of men fighting the fire at Knud- sons farm. Forest Supervisor w. G. Weigle ordered out new force of rangers to aid the Treadwen crew.
 Over 100 Masons attended the special communication of Mt. Ju- neau Lodge, F. & A. M, and the banquet that followed. Speeches were made by John T. Reed, M. s. Whittier, Charles E. Naghel, the Rev John B. Stevens, John R. Jones, Edward Haggerty, Sidney Terry and Dr. L. P. Dawes.
 Milton Winn, John Winn, Earl Maud and Cy Wright left on the launch Klohone for a short trip to Aux Bay where they expected to deplete the streams of their sal mon trout supply.
 G. H. Garfield, Forest Ranger, arrived in Juneau and was at the New Cain.
