Surprise Entertainment
All through the dinner there
was an undercurrent Of excite
ment and buzzing of conversation
as the guests talked of this and
that, but mostly trying to guess
what their hosts had planned to
surprise them (these surprises"
are famous).
The cares of today and tomor-
row were momentarily put aside
by the laugh-producing magic Of
George Burns and his delightful
little companion, Oracle Allen.
Brief minutes fitted by on the
wings Of their nonsensical conver-
sation and antics.
Others who helped entertain
the guests were Corinna Mura,
Texan lass whose remarkable
songs Of Spanish and English have
thrilled many since her short time
In the limelight; Alfred Chigi,
Jack Powell and Pauline Alpert,
whose nimble fingers produced
several highly pleasing melodies
on the piano.

THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA

James A. Farley, Chairman of the Democratic Ma tiona Committee in a recent speech described that worthy animal and symbol of the Republican party the elephant-as beast with a tail at each end
 "On one end we have the Fletcher organization ot sandpatters camoring for the return of the Hoover system with the American Lobbyist G.iberty) League signing checks with the lavshness it's members displayed for lobbying through the Smooth -Hawley tariff in the last Republican Congress and furnishing the million dollar slush fund in the futile effort to defeat the bill to control the greedy holding panies in the recent session. he said On the other end have the Hearst newspapers, which month in and month out have been demanding that the govern ment start the printing presses issuing money with nothing behind it, and which now appear the guardians of the conservative interests boosting first and then another colorless figure"
 But MT. Farley should not be too severe the Republican high command. laundering in its sea of uncertainty for it has especially difficult before it. It must first build up lay figure the stature of statesman, so, as the Democratic chairman says, the country will not be shocked by the appearance of an unknown as the Republican popular esteem in which President Roosevelt is held Both big jobs and therein lies the Republican dilemma.
 The latter task probably will be the more difficult Publicity build public figure, but the must have something himself to hold sustained appeal Few indeed there in public life who retain the good will of the people like Franklin Roosevelt Some of his policies may be frowned upon but personal popularity in the face of terrific criticism apparently is lasting thing

Jobber Is Still Here
Seattle Journal of Commerce)


 In spite of all attempts that have been made to read the obber out of the merchandising picture he tnues to remain very live and important part of it. He is having his troubles, of course but who isn't?
 The recent announcement of Marshall Field & Go. concerning their withdrawal from the jobbng considered by some more straw showing which way the wind is blowing. But after all, the ton taken by this great merchandising institution hardly be regarded significant to any except the manufacturers it represented in the distribution field and the merchants whom it supplies Fields with its great manufacturing facilities obviously in Q somewhat anomalous position in also operating a jobber.
 It is true that large retailers will continue to buy direct whenever they do to advantage It is also true that chains and voluntary chains provide their similar services But long the independent mer- chant remains important he is at present then the jobber will continue to be indispensable factor in providing contact with him.
 It is an interesting fact, too, that some of the greatest problems of today have arisen because of failure of manufacturers to maintain distribution and loyal following among independent retail merchants. One of the big houses in the food products field has slipped badly in the past few years partly because of growing competition and partly because its distribution has tended to become more and more concentrat ted in chain stores The latter are important but after all they serve only part of the market The independent dealer is needed to complete the job

From The Empire 20 YEARS AGO
JANUARY 20, 1916.

Juneau experienced a cold wave with minimum temperature offic- l'ially at eleven and one half degrees below zero Few people were on the streets and the stores were practically deserted with the excep- ton of the clerks. The schools were not in session. Only about one third of the students braved the weather, and those who did were excused for the day The United States District Court held no ses- sion, and in all Federal and Ter ritorial offices there were many absentees, since persons found it impossible or impractical to venture forth from their homes Water pipes were hard hit during the night and many a man went trudg- ing to the neighbors for water to | boil breakfast coffee. Horses ploughed through the streets haul ing loads of coal and the icicles forming on their lips were broken only when they came in contact with the tongues of the sleds. Two large show windows in Goldstein's Emporium were blown out and the articles on display there were float ing somewhere between Juneau and Taku. The coldest corner was around Front and Franklin oppo- site the Gastineau Hotel where the wind gets powerful sweep down Franklin avenue and, reinforced by counter wind along Front, makes navigation something fierce. In many establishments the employ ees took different shifts off and perched themselves on the radiat- ors to let the heat oooze through their systems.
 The storm cut down attendance at the theatres. At the Moose Hall there was a small crowd, but the Quarter Hundred Club braved the elements and there was a good representation
 SAii1Po tAiC SilACA ICdbult Ol IIle storm news as gathered by the En- pire staff was the fact that A. H. Humphries wore hat for the first time in three years. People tack.ng down the wind-swept thoroughfares looked at him in wonderment, and he was busy answering telephone calls as to what made him go back l to headgear. ..-
 In Douglas, since almost everyone was kept in by bad weather, there was time to exchange stories of other bad weather. Guy E. Smith said: This is about like my first winter in Alaska, but then we had about two months of it straight" Old-timers say this is the nastiest packet of weather the weather man has handed this locality for a good many years.
 Meanwhile fires, strengthened by the high winds, kept the police de- partment busy with R. P. Nelson's Bookstore, Stocker's Billiard Hall. and a residence on East Street. All were extinguished without great loss.
