It is with great deal of pleasure that The Empire presents this edition the benefit of The American Legion and the Afford John Bradford Post No. of Juneau It believes that speaks for those who have made the edition possible when it extends to the Legicnnaires and their ladies of the Auxiliary the hand of genuine Alaska welcome and wishes for them one of the best conventions held in the north
 The commercial organizations that have partci- pated in this edition have done whole rtedly They are for the Legion and the sterling American program that it represents. There is nothing more typically American than the Legion It emanates Americanism from the roots Its program is to carry forward that basis and the people of Juneau and all Alaska with it, believe, 100 per cent
 In this brief comment, The Empire wishes to call attention to just few of the many who have contri- bued unsparingly of their efforts presenting this edition for the Legion.

Karnes both Chairman of the Convention committee and in his official De- partment capacity, and Junior Post Commander E. M Policy chairman of the financial end of the work both have given invaluable assistance Department Adutant J. T. Tom Petrich his customary effici- ent and untirng manner has come to the rescue in countless ways One only pause to won- der sometimes what would Legion meetings and con- ventions be like without that familiar, Hey Tom what about this Hey, Tom! What about that
 There are many others who have contributed in excellent way toward the success of this edition and the convention itself Among them Mrs Alba Newman, President of the Juneau Unit; Mrs. Edith Sheeor, Past Department President Mrs. E.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1886

FRlDAI, SEP IEMBER 4, 1856 1 Benefic aspects rule in the horos- cope of today, according to astrol- ogy. The morning is the time for : pushing important matters of many sorts, especially construction on a large scale.
 There is a sign indicating inn proved conditions for many classes of workers. Shorter hours and more intensive activity are forecast. La Dor leaders, however, continue un- der threatening aspect
 Many surgical operations are prog nosticated for the coming months when hospitals will require expand ing facilities Maladies affecting the digestive organs will be preva- lent
 1 This is not an suspicious day for presenting letters of introduction or for seeking employment. It is not time for starting anything.
 Those who read the stars warn of a decided turn for the worse in European affairs this autumn and counsel Americans to take wise pre- cautions in order to avoid interna- tional complications.
 For the young much dancing and drinking are indicated during the coming months when there will be wide discussion of modern social customs. A new reform movement is to become fashionable. Young artists should rejoice over the message of the stars which gives assurance of great profit from governmental projects. But truth is to be sought along conservative lines.
 Reactionary influences are to gain momentum at this time. They will effect dress as we'll as the arts. In the political field gains for old line ideas will be definite, but not de- cisive.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain through thrift and hard work It is a period of testing and growth.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be modest, thoughtful, in- dustrious and refined Many philo- sophers and educators belong to this sign of Virgo.

TREASURER OLSON'S REPORT

Significant indeed is Territorial Treasurer Oscar Olson report of the cash balance of Territorial funds of August 31 1886, in the amount of $951, ,73757 more than twice much the $474 276 August 31 1892, and nearly twice much the average balance for the years 193l 1932 1933
 Not only does it reflect the growing prosperity of the Territory during the past three year. but it clearly and rrefutaby shows the competent steward ship of Territorial Treasurer, Oscar Olson but also of Attorney General General James S. Truitts active legal work in collecting delinquent taxes to the of approximately $20000o and that of Auditor Frank A. Boyle who must audit and verify prescribed among other duties all claims against the Territory for pay ment.
 This excellent condition of the Territory's funds is but one proof, but outstanding proof of the ficency ability and conscientious of the pres ent Territorial officers the able thoroughly bus ness like manner in which they are conducting the affairs of the Territory.
 Furthermore it is an excellent argument for and fine step towards the home rule for which Alaska is striving.
 It definitely shows that the administration of the Territorial government under this Democratic Administration has been efficient one thoroughly capable of handling those powers permitted under the Organic Act and will prove strong argument in the case that Delegate Anthony j. Dmond for the past three has been building up in Congress for home rule.
 Voters at the coming election have in this instance another of the many reasons why Attorney General James s. Trutt and Auditor Frank A. Boyle should DC reelected on their records of achievement and can feel safe that by re-eectng these along with Wm. A. Hesse, for Territorial Highway Engineer that the efficient work these and Treasurer Oscar Olson doing in their individual offices along with the functions of the Territorial Boards of which they members, that the excellent admins ration of Territorial affairs will continue harmon- ously through the service of these tried proven officials to the continued benefit and progress of entire Territory

FREE RIDE

Between the heat and a score of
youngsters, Capital Transit Com
pany officials showing off the
company's reconditioned second
handed one-man street car at
Eleventh and Monroe Streets
Northwest last night were pressed
to the breaking point.
The car was on exhibition
primarily for adults, but the
grown-ups stayed at home, ap-
parently striving to find some re-
lief from the heat. The company
officials waited around for more
than an hour to show off the car,
but only one woman and a group
of 20 or more children showed up.
At length the woman and the
youngsters were bundled into the
car and taken for a brief ride
along Eleventh Street. The chill
dren had a grand time changing
bells and acting as conductors on
the conductorleSS car.

Safe Driving Urged
Ind. +. School Zones

Because many school zones be-
come playground zones during the
vacation period, motorists should
be as careful when driving near
schools during the summer months
as when classes are in session,
the A. A. A. District of Columbia
Motor Club warned today.
The A. A. A. club suggested the
following safety rules for motor
lists passing school grounds:
"Have the car under complete
control when approaching chill
dren.
"Never pass a school at a fast
rate.
use the horn when you see
children about to cross the
street.
"Never assume that a child
will stop.
Assume that every child on
the street is looking to you for
protection"

of the Milwaukee (Wis.) traffic
control, the Keystone Automobile
Club has proposed the District
government effect drastic changes
in the local traffic set-up. The
Milwaukee system has engaged ma
tion-wide attention through COM
piling a record of minimum in
casualties and fatalities resulting
from traffic accidents.

city with several traffic experts
and submitted a report to the ad-
visory board of the local club.
The report recommended:
District traffic administration

officers in the downtown section
should be increased; a larger
number of well-trained traffic
policemen for downtown interSec-
tionS; because of visibility, yellow
rather than white, should be used
for painted traffic lines; use of a
line at cross walks to eliminate
practice of motorists encroaching
on pedestrians; weaving" by
BUSES in traffic be prohibited;
weekly broadcaSts of traffic court
trials; greater use of traffic lanes
on busy street and the use of curb
lighting.
