MT Justice Van Devanters sudden resignation recently reminds us of the story about Jonah. It may be that the spring sunshine and the thoughts it brings men younger than 78 explain MT. Justice Van Devanter's sudden resolution. It may be the purest coincidence that his announcement came on the morning of the day when the Senate Judiciary Committee to report the Presidents Court reform bill
 But it will be hard to the suspicion that perhaps Mir Justice Van Devanters move was timed. The conservatives on the Court have made one con- cesson after another to MT. Roosevelt on minimum wages on collective bargaining and on coal regua- tion without placating him. It will be felt that the Court decided at last, to throw Jonah overheard.
 Unfortunately the Supreme Court, now weather ing the heaviest seas in its history contains not one Jonah but six We hope the pursuing behemoth Will gulp down the offering and ask for more. The re- tirement Mir Justice Van Devanter and his replace ment by liberal might still leave the Court with conservative ma jority of 5-4 on crucial issues
 The Chief Justice is liberal chiefly on civil liberties MT Justice Roberts is unpredictable as lightning and to strike twice in the same place on any issue Only Justices Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo be relied upon, in passing on new reform legislation recall that this is the year 1937 not 1887.
 MT Roosevelt has won substantial victories in his fight on the Court where Jefferson, Jackson Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt achieved only few memor- able flights of rhetoric He has forced the Court to brush the cobwebs from its spectaces, looked at the situation afresh, decided that minimum wages and collective bargaining and coal regulation were con- stitutional. after all
 But consider that it took the most daring frontal attack in history to obtain the acquiescence of the Court in legislation other countries adopted two generations ago. Consider that it by the bare margin here of but vote that these reforms approved.
 MT. Justice Van Devanter is relic of the Wild West He was appointed Chief Justice of the Terri tory of Wyoming by President Ben Harrison. In an earlier day, for all his corporate connections and training, he by means a reactionary On the contrary. his appointment treated by the liberal press guaranteeing the Governments victory Tn it's fight against the trusts notably Standard O.l

AN ORDER TO JUNEAU TO GO AHEAD

Probably the best this community has re- ceved in long time IS contained in the decision handed down by the Circuit Court of Appeals defin- tely settling the twoyear labor dispute at the Alaska Juneau gold mine The settlement in the form of a court order. announced agreeable to both sides, should put end to the countless rumors that have been waited about this community since May of 1885 which have tended to create an underlying feeling unrest
 There isn't any question about the ruling by the court In plain language it says what shall and what shall not be done For certain employees of the mine it provides back pay for other former em ployees it provides offer of work if application is made in the usual manner within stipulated period. For the employers guarantees the protection of the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act rea- tive to the recognizing ot bargaining agencies just as it protects the employees. The company has an nounced it will abide by the ruling of the court and copies of the order already have been posted for all to see.
 Both employer and employee know now exactly where they stand in connection with their labor latons and it gives assurance to the entire ity of amable relations the future. It that business which has been less jittery due to innumerable unfounded rumors can settle down to it's stride and Juneau forge ahead united front
 The Alaska Juneau as every one here knows is the biggest business in the city of the greatest of its kind the world It is going ahead it has per sistenty and calmly done right along. It has pur- sued it's legal rights and now announces through its General Superintendent L. H Metzgar, that it adheres the order and will continue to mine gold Its employees from the very nature of the court order doubtless will continue to mine gold secure in the knowledge of their definite position Juneau as result will continue to enjoy the benefits of an enormous payroll.
 great many unfounded and foolish things have been said and done since that eventfu day in 1895 when operations temporarily ceased at the A. J. Most of us have forgotten many of them Right now is a good time to forget all of them The Alaska Juneau and its employees handling their problems success fully in their way. The best thing all the rest of us can do is to tend to and through mutual understanding go ahead making Juneau the out standing city in the north.

Paper Hanger or Painter?
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCnclnnau Enqulrer)
 Unfavorabe comments Adolf Hitler are made in the United States quite often. Without havlng statistics at hand one might venture the guess that unflattering remark about Hitler is made some where in this country on the average of every five seconds Possibly oftener Naturally it is impossible for Der Fuehrer and hie aids to take notice of all of them, and certainly to ndict all the commentator
 This makes it necessary for them to be selective. Some time ago, they selected Mayor Forello La Guardia of New York Now they have selected George Cardinal Mundelein Archbishop of Chicago. It is something of honor to be selected In the La Guardia case. Berlin held the American Government responsible In the of Cardinal Mundeeln, it holds the Vatican responsible and also complains to the American Government In both cases of course, the men are at liberty to say what they choose.
 Cardinal Mundelen's remarks raise serious ques- tion however. He said that Hitler an Austrian paper hanger Now there is evidence that Hitler was not paper hanger, but house painter-some- times abbreviated merely painter. This is a grave matter In the hierarchy of trades painter may outrank a paper hanger or he may not But 1t is obviously injustice to describe Hitler as the one II he in fact the other
 In the interest of International peace, it seems desirable for the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Herr Goebbels to make final manifesto in the matter. Once we facts shall be able in future to refer to Der Fuehrer as tyrannical and inhuman paper hanger, tyrannical and nhuman house painter For all do want very much to do him justice
