DOWN BUT NEVER OUT

Juneau bids welcome to the Salvation Army Al- aska Congress which opens here today for the re- mainder of the week bringing international leaders of the movement and more than 75 delegates from various communities in the Territory to the city.
 Virtually every is conversant with the excel lent work that the Salvation Army has carried on throughout the world for many years in aiding the so-called down -and-outer. The Arnys motto has been down but out and it has gone about the work of rehabilitation to prove that motto in an in- telligent and humanitarian manner. The number that the Salvation Army has brought succor to in time of emergency countless and the best proof of its sound premise is the way in which it has carried on year after year day in and day out helping the unfortunate.
 Juneau is happy to have the Salvation Army holding it's Congress in the city It is glad to welcome it's leaders Commissioner and Mrs, Carpenter, and its scores of delegates who here to over there problems and outline their program for the future We know from the years of worthwhile work the or ganization has done that the program will be one which will be good for Alaska and for the people of Alaska
 There may be some who are down but they will never be out long the Salvation Army continues to function May it continue to function in it's fine work for humanity for many years to come.

Scrap the Nine-POwer Pact
Philadelphia Record)


 Declaring the 'nne-Power pact" obsolete, Japan announces that she is considering move to withdraw from it.
 The "nine-Power pact" is obsolete That pact guarantees" the territorial integrity of China And since Japan has seized most of the Chinese seaboard and sizabe slice of the mainland it is plainly absurd to pretend that China today possesses any territorial integrity"
 It is even more absurd to pretend that any Euro pean nation is going to guarantee that territorial integrity'-or guarantee anything for China
 The United States cannot make such guar antee7 without going to If this country had any intentions of going to on such pretext it would have gone long ago. Only the most stupid of states men would suggest going to the defense of the Chinese seacoast after it already has been conquered.
 So the "nine-Power pact" is a very dead letter "a pathetic wrath of yesteryear
 It is The Records view that the United States should not wait for Japan to withdraw from the "nine-Power pact" Much more to the point would be an announcement to that effect from us
 Such move would be a healthy signal to the world that our own statesmen emerging from that receding dreamland of collective security and beginning to face the realities of world politics
 The international Halloween party is over.
 Mussolini and Hitler and the Mikado have dropped their costumes as Doves of Peace The British have tossed aside their imposing pocemans uniform
 Why not take off our costume as prize sucker from the international sticks?
 Haven't we realized yet how dangerous is that game of let's pretend'?
 It will be extremely perilous for this country to go on just as if nothing had happened to pretend that there hasn't been war in China that there hasn't been a change in control of Chinese ports
 We know the so-caed rights in China guar anteed by that nine-Power treaty were rights of dubious origin rights which used not to help China but to exploit her.
 We know that Britain obtained Hongkong as the result of which the British navy forced China to open her door to opium, and her civilization to debauchery.
 The Occident cannot pretend holy cause in the Orient
 No more can it pretend that there is any further life in the treaty perpetuating an "open door in China which opened by the same means that it has been closed-armed force The "nine-Power pact like the League of Nations is one of the wrahs of yesteryear had best forget
 We remember the time when men said that while Kellogg Briand anti-war treaties and unilateral dis armament pacts might not do a lot of good, they certainly wouldn't do harm We know better. We know such treaties do great deal of harm. They give a false sense o security They paved the way for the easy triumph of Hitler for the scarcely less easy victory of Japan
 Those treaties of pretense are even more danger today.

Horoscope The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2s, 1888


 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. The stars stimulate friendliness and encourage gayety, especially among the young.
 Workers should benefit through improved relations with employers This is an suspicious date for ob- taining good wages.
 Constructive plans should ebe pushed under this configuration which is promising for public i'm provements, although many civic ambitions will be curtailed before winter.
 It is wise to sign legal papers on l this date. Contracts are well direct ed by the stars. Landlords will profit and rents rise.
 ! Food conservation should be prac- ticed through the winter The cost of living will rise appreciably and expenditures will be a bit reckless as prosperity extends in the United i
 | States and Canada. 1 Owing to the influence of certain signs astrologers foretell of growth of intrigue, deception and misrepre- ! sentation which affects individuals as well as nations.
 As reform movements progress warning is given that successful 1 leaders in good government will re- ceive honors that remove them from places where they function for ! the general good.
 Women should find this an auspi- cious day for club and philanthro- pic activities Efficiency in public affairs will be attained by girls as well as by their mothers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of profit and I happiness. Reunions with relatives and friends will bring joy to many
 Children born on this day prob ably will be keen of mind and fail in judgment. Subjects of this sign of Sagittarius may combine many astute traits that assure success.

If you repeal the Territor- ial Act, the employer would still pay the same but no one in the Territory of Alaska could receive any benefits. This tax money as collected is not drained out of the Territory. Most of our large Alaska employers are outside corporations having their main offices and a large majority of the stockholders in other places than Alaska. This money, if not collected from these firms, would be drained out of the Territory but in this case, the money is brought back into the country to be distributed in benefits to AL aska workers"

BARNEY HOUSE
GROWTH NOTED

A steady growth in the attend
ance and use of the Barney
Neighborhood House, 47O N St.
S. W., by children of that section,
was reported today by Miss Mar
garet Bell Merrill, head resident.
Miss Merrill, whose report was
presented to the settlements
board of trustees, said the attend
ance last month was $500 as COM
pared to 1920 in March of last
year. In 1885, the report stated,
the opening years activities, the
attendance was only $500.
The addition of a full-time boys
worker to the staff in 1885 and
another part-time worker in 1897
has been attributed as the chief
reason for the increased interest
shown at the center.
