A VICTORY FOR PEACE

Peace at the least for the present has won ah- other victory The great powers of Europe have through apparent common consent agreed not to go to war at this time It is extremely doubtful If any of them actually sought war, and it is certain the ma oritv of their people did not but war threatened over little nation with the result that the weak gave way to the strong in the interests of avoiding open conflict.
 The little nation of Czechosovakia is the sacri- fice on the altar of peace She through pressure m the part of Great Britain France and Italy been forced to give away part of her territory to Germany ana must agree to live in harmony with German views or suffer further consequences.
 From far away it would appear extremely unfair to the czechs. but balanced against this viewpoint is the fact that peace has been maintained and Tor those who are advocates of peace which includes most c.f lls it Is a major victory against war.
 There is little doubt that equipment has reached a point in it's development which frightens even the most warlike The result of major war In this day stvmies the imagination; it's appalling death toll would be hard to realize It far cry from the days when a couple of armies met the field of battle and men fought men. Today is waged on the innocent women and children, old and young far back of the actual battle lines toll for the death- dealing fast airplanes which every nation boasts. A war in Europe today would mean a slaughter, the raging of great cities, a resultant condition from which it would take centuries to recover. Apparently the nations are aware of it.
 There is much to the viewpoint that they have only delayed the day. There many apparently good reasons to believe But they have at least avoided war for the time being for which most of us are grateful.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 1888


 Adverse planetary aspects dom mate today, according to astrology. It is time to take stock of ones mental and physical assets.
 Under this configuration enmities of all sorts may be emphasized and evil reports widely circulated.
 Minds will be receptive to rumors and scandals. The tendency to. think the worst of ones neighbors may be more widespread than usual. Speech should be guarded. There is a sign supposed to encourage de- ception and misrepresentatio ton. While espionage becomes more and more general diplomacy will be put to severe tests.
 Good news of international mo- ment may be expected on this date when writings are well directed and important contracts sh ould be signed.
 Wise women will concentrate upon their home interests under this rule of the stars.
 World agonies are to bring to citi- zens of the United States a new realizat ation of their good fortune and to awaken a patriotism that seeks practical modes of expression. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied trials. For some there may be injustice to be suffered. They should be care full in speech
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly individual and independent. Subjects of this sign like to have their own way and may be arrogant as well as eff ficient.
 Mark A. Hanna, American politi clan, was born on this day 1887 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Zachary Taylor twelfth President of the U. S.; John Marshall, jurist, 1755.

We Interfere in Colorado
Philadelphia Record)

At the risk of being criticized by John D. M. Hamilton for interfering in the Colorado primaries, we herewith announce ndorsement Of Irwin H. Gall Me Pop Hanes, Democratic candidate for the S400 job of State Auditor
 Hanes campaign has been waged on unprece- dented lines His literature states:
 l. That he was mot urged by friends to enter the race"
 9 That he is not pillar of the church.
 B. That he is not universally respected"
 4 That he doesn't know the answer to the labor problem because lack of energy has prevented him from becoming dazzling success a laborer
 g. That he is not the outstanding candidate" in the race since there are several other good fellows running
 G. That his main reason for running is that S4 0O0 year is more than he ever earned before.
 Hanes doesn't say whether he's liberal con- servative. Maybe he doesn't know. But that fact still does not deter from interfering in the Colorado race, risking the charge that we are "dctating to the independent citizens of Colorado
 Nor do support Hanes for any of the reasons listed above, excellent they may be- We're for Hanes for another reason
 This country needs candidates with of humor
 We don't mean people you can laugh at.
 We mean people you can laugh with!

Field Executive Robert Dill Praises Alaskas
 Many Troops

1 Alaska has 20 troops of Boy Scouts spotted over the vast map of the Territory from Ketchikan to above the Arctic Circle-290 growing young men getting a big kick" out of big fraternity of the United States best sprouting seed.
 This week is National Scout Week it is a week of weeks for Channel scouts in Juneau and Douglas.
 Boy l just got my uniform, and the big bug is heren one young scout calculated last night.
 The big bug" is Robert w. Dill who with Mrs Dill is making a tour of Southeast Alaska scouting groups to lay plans for the coming -cout year.
 Field Executive Dill is getting just as big kick" out of his stop over in Juneau during Scout Week as the scouts themselves are. Per haps one of the big reasons is that Robert Dill is not so far removed himself in years from actual scout activity.
 A young man with a pleasing per- sonality, Robert Dill bubbles with the enthusiasm of an ardent scout booster. He thinks Alaska's scouts are 'tcps" He thinks Alaska scout = ing is going places" Alaska s scouts have indicated he is right in his beliefs.
 Tuesday, Mir Dill will speak at both Douglas and Juneau schools Wednesday is the big night when all Gastineau Channel Scouts will ga ther in competitive contest and drill at the High School gymnasium.
 MT Dill has his hands full, but he really is getting big k-ck out of it."

He dozed on and the fire in the old

At last the cIatter of the stage coach

move further than TO replenish the fire

minutes later the stage coach was NOV

The institution butcher shop Is
crammed with carcasSes of hogs and
cattle; here are made the sausageS and
meat loafs, the hams and bacon, pickles,
sauerkraut and similar products of a
packing plant, combined with eggs,
chickens, turkeys and ducks from the
poultry department. Compact, adequate,
efficiently operated, the meat shop and
cold storage division presents a pleas
ing picture.
other industrial sections include a
central heating plant, shoe shop. matt
reSs factory, electric shop, carpenter
shop, plumbing shop. paint shop, etc.
These activities, under the SUPERVISION
Of skilled employees, afford large num-
Der Of patients diversion and a relief
from the monotony Of their day. Housed
in the heating plant 10 a motor driven
hose and chemical truck, and in every
structure, there is auxiliary equipment
for fire protection.
There Is a store department Of gigan-
tic proportions. Shoes, blankets and
bedding, undergarments, heavy winter
apparel and sheep-lined coats, cereals,
sugar, salt, dried fruits, row on row
Of canned goods. A huge commissary
run along institutional lines and OPP
Grated. of course, by paid help.
Here then, Is the physical plant that
comprises the community of Warm
Springs. What of the patients and Of
the personnel?
People Mentally Ill
People Of half-world That is one
way to describe the patients. Young
and old, women and some children,
all physical beings with the same
nervous systems, the same, groupings
and longings of humanity-but some
thing missing; a vital something that
can best be described as the light of
reason. The vital half of their world
Is in chaos-the level and balance of
their sphere gone, perhaps temporarily
in some cases, and permanently In other
cases.
The patients are well housed and
well fed You come upon them in I'M
expected hooks, some in various &C
tivitieS, some inactive and pre-occupied
in deep emptiness. There is fine spec
linen Of physical manhood-tall, broad
shouldered, powerful, with face that
has a harried look. You see about the
same expression on farmer who has
witnessed this years labor burned by
drouth, consumed by cricket hordeS, or
on the individual who experiences the
burden Of unemployment. Only the
farmer throws it off and begins anew
next spring. This man cannot eliminate
his woe; 1t is fastened upon him con-
stantly.
Wards Are SpOtIess
The wards and dormitories are clean
and the floors spotless, likewise the
dining rooms, recreation rooms toilets
and Kindred facilities. In the sleeping
quarters are row upon row OF comfort

warm blankets, white cotton sheets and
pillow cases. Although there Is scare
ity of ornate decorations, few pictures

places, the observer becomes mindful
of certain hazards. The institution re-
ceives and treats the insane criminal,
