FRIDAY, SEPT. 23. 1888

FRIDAY, SEPT. 23. 1888
 Conflicting planetary aspects are seen in the horoscope for today According to astrology the morn ing hours are fairly fortunate.
 As the autumnal equinox occurs but a few hours before the new Moon on this date when the Sun enters Libra, astrologers read many strange portentS in the stars,
 mercury besieged by Mars and Neptune in the seventh house seems to presage serious international complications. Plotting, double Q : dealing and duplicity among Euro pean powers may be expected with Britain a common object of hostil- ity. Falling revenues and diminish ing exports will cause serious prob lens in London.
 Canada and the United States should enjoy good business through the autumn. Prosperity for western cities as we'll as for those of the eastern seaboard is prophesied.
 Labor troubles will continue with noteworthy changes in the policies of dominating unions. Compromises between employers and employees are indicated.
 They who read the stars declare that the old order of things has so completely changed that only the blind will fail to recognize that the economic revolution has gained inn petus with each passing month.
 In the United States the econo- mic revolution is a reform move ment. but the public is warned of the existence of national exigencies of grave importance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of trials. Ex- penseS may be greater than income for many. Secret marriages are fore told by astrologers.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be imaginative as well as practical Subjects of this sign of Libra are usually lovers of beauty and order
 Eli T. Harvey, sculptor, was born on this day 1860 Others who have celebrated it as abirthday include Elihu B. Washburne, statesman, 1916; James Carroll Beckwith, painter, 1852.

Composite Definition

lClavaland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The Zion's Herald, independent Methodist weekly, gives the lexicographer something to worry about. It wonders wistuly rather than anxiousy, just how the next dictionary will define the term Communist.
 The editors Of Webster under the impression and so stated in their unabridged--that Commit nism is @ system of social organization in which aCOds held in common" Zion's Herald however ventures the opinion that the new definition will include. One who believes in constitutional ber- ties of free speech, free press free assembly; who devoted to the cause of world peace; who is a child movie actress who is youthful and possesses brains and ideals; who is friend of organized labor who is open minded professor; who denounces Hitler and Mussolini; who wears red necktie or who is anyone we dislike"
 There is much to be said for such a composite definition. In of streamning and shorts, of mechanization. Time will be saved in the field of invective if individual institution particularly unpopular at the moment always be dubbed Communistie.

HELP-NOT HINDER

t The recent action of the City Council in voting against lowering section of to make possible proper connections the basement of the Baranof Hotel building has aroused a of controversy which is regrettabe We have desire to add fuel to the controversial fires by condemning action of the council and we fully of the danger of establishing precedents which might later react unfavorably but we none the less feel that any sonabe request of the Juneau citizens responsible for the hotel project should receive the careful and sympathetic consideration of city officials
 There have been recent instances in Juneau building activities in which precedents have been set and the building code ignored to accommodate the builder-and in The Empires opinion rightly so
 The Baranof Hotel when completed. will repre- sent investment of approximately half-mion dollars and will annually contribute minimum of s7000 to city treasury in the form of taxes The largest individual taxpayers in the city of Juneau will have invested the money which will give the finest hotel in the Territory The requested sewer alteration represents estimated expenditure of S900 which largely from tax receipts originat- ing from the source which makes the request Considered strictly from the financial angle the councils refusal is not well founded

Nan Doomed To Ticking
 Noise, Head

SHAWNEE, Okla, Sept. 22i = Charles Hester, Shawnee's ''human alarm clock" is doomed to that in- ceSsant tick tick ticking in his head.
 The World War veterans wife said his ailment had been pro nounced incurable by Chicago spe- cialists who spent twenty-seven days on his case
 The ticking noise, as regular as a clock, began when a shell burst be- side Hester on a World War battle field. It has continued ever since
 For the past two years, Hester said he had been unable to work because of a weakened physical and nervous condition brought on by the noise.
 "The ticking is as involuntary as the batting of an eyelid," said Mrs Hester. Tt has worn him out and made him very ill and weak. There apparently is nothing medical sci ence can do to help him"

A BOW TO OUR ALASKA FOREIGNERS
 AT CAMP PERRY

The report that returning members ol the AiasAa Rifle team bring back from the national Tile matches at Camp Perry reveals record of which the team members and all Alaskans be proud
 Entering their first national competition, the Alaska rifemen finished in 46th place in field of 126 teams When it is considered that in those l26 teams there were scores of service remen scores of club shooters who do little else the of thousands < of rifle experts in nation of hundred and thirty million people the record the Alaska boys made is .inpressive.
 It must be remembered that the Alaska team had never functioned as before they left the Ter ritory for the matches. They were just group of top flight shooters from the north going down to face the toughest competition in the world in well trained and well organized shooting organizations. The fact that they finished in 46th place amid Shat array of talent is high compliment to every member cl the Jeam. We in Alaska can be mighty proud Of them. Even if they relegated to the street at the encampment known as foreign row. they came through with flying colors and put Alaska very definitely on the rifle map
 Tn case you've forgotten here the names of the Alaskans who made that excellent record at Perry.

Juneau and that the city officials extend the helping hand in every legal and proper manner in their power, always bearing in mind that there is not a property owner in corporate limits who will not directly profit through the consummation of the project.
 After all, it isn't the 5000 which the city decided not to pay for adjustments that is involved so much as the lack of cooperation that has been evident since the hotel project first announced. The hotel is started It is well on it's way There is prob ably not person in town who at one time or another has not declared What Juneau needs is new hotel. Well now that we are going to have one let's help, instead of hindering it's progress

Judges at the international film exposition at Venice, Italy, have declined to give the Mussoini Cup to Welt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and have awarded it, instead to obscure German documentary" film the 1886 Olympic Games at Berlin. Two delegates, American and Brit sh resigned in protest, the American charging politician Italian effort to please Germany.
 Fortunately all bets are still paid off at the box office where Snow White" is the sensation of many years. Maybe that's what led Mussolinis little men to withhold Il Duces cup from it The box office is an urcomfortably democratic institution; it is dsturbfgly similar to the ballot box and pays annoy ingly little regard to the leadership principle

PI.uMS FOR LOSERS?

Governor Ohm D. Jchnstons rather hurried at

August 30 expression, of the people at the polls
had been announced, indicates that new dealer
beaten at the polls. feels he has instant right to

And from the statement of South Cardinals gov

complimentary as regards his race for the United

ready On record along with the addition OF the
later rcverses in Nevada and the possibility ct
anti Roosevelt results in Georgia and Maryland III
the future, the president may need goodly sup
ply of plums to pass out and ease the pain of pc
tical downfall.
Should the White House pursue policy of TAX

THE. REAL. ISSUE"

The so-callcd purge" of the Democratic party
bv President Roosevelt and his mpetuous small
croup of close intimatcS is not just that says The
Texas Weekly and it shows clearly that this IS not
the issue.
Here is the real issue in the sound analysis made
by the Texas paper:
"The plain truth is that President Roosevelt has
sought since 1888 to create personal party, with
program representing composite of the de-
mands of numerous organized minorities, most OF
which run sharply counter to the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. 1t is in the light
of this truth that the presidents course becomes
clear and is stripped of confusion '"
1t cannot truthfully be said for example, that
George, of Georgia; Tydings, of Maryland; and
Smith, of South Carolina, are not sound" Demo
Gratis but the point the Texas paper makes is that
they are not Roosevelt" Democrats in that they
will do only and do always what President Roose-
welt wants done.-Greenwood Index-Journal.
