Their Unminced Words
(New York Times)

So far the communiques have saiu nothing about agreement at Munich by which the two dictators may have promised to stop saying nasty things about the democracies It all very well for MessrS. Hitler and MuSsoni to and rail and jeer and curse at free governments while addressing a couple of million of their own devoted subjects, less. Hitler said in his Berlin address that he had no difficulty coming to understanding with Poland, because in Poland he found man, meaning a dictator If there had been democratic government in Poland nothing would have been accomplished for peace by Hitler
 As for his great and good friend beyond the Alps, no adectives in the Italian language too strong to describe democratic government. Democracy is dead and putrid and half-wtted when it is suf- ficenty alive and clever to threaten the structure of peace to which Mussolni has dedca ted himself.
 Still it must be rather awkward for a dictator to be shaking hands with MT. Chamberlain and M. Daladier, happened in Munich and may happen again in other conferences and at the same time continue to baWl out the democracies. Chamberlain and Daladier make a living, after all, in the demo- cratic shop person cannot go calling the demo- cracies treacherous and cowardy and sene without casting some reflection the Prime Ministers and Premiers and Presidents who preside the demo- cracies Before going out to dine with a group of distinguished members of the bar the medical pro- fession people usually do not make a public temen saying that all lawyers crooks and all doctors are quacks
 So it is not unlikely that we shall have less war dancing against the democracies in Berlin and Rome It will not be wrench. Those changes from cursing to c9oing and back again come easily in we'll dicta ted State It is like turning the hot or cold faucet in the bathroom

parison only small portion Of Alaskas vast placer areas-why not Alaska?
 prospector may take odd jobs for his grubstake money he may get few dollars from townspeople in return for stalking them in what he may find but the cost of drilling ground to test it mine is in most beyond his purse his small business mans pocketbook
 Without drill, prospect hole must be sunk with that slow instrument of back torture, the number two shovel Most prospect holes in the larger placer areas of the Interior put down by thawing with
 fire in the pit digging few inches more, then firing again. and down slowly into the frozen earth. Frequenty-too frequenty-a sinks bis hole into water before reaching bedrock and has to abandon his digging Then drill is the only answer
 Drills cost from s2,OO0 to s400O complete on the average and the cost of moving drill into the remote areas where they most needed just about doubles the cost.
 To buy a number of drills and hire competent men to operate thcn. would be an expensive experi- ment. Perhaps the Legislature will feel it advisable however. to test two such drills
 It would appear that few thousand dollars spent in drilling producing placer with probable income of several thousand dollars and it's resultant benefit to the Territory would be good investment
 This may be the to the often asked ques- ton to what sort of aid the mining industry should get from the Government which it helps to support

TUESDAY, OCT. IS, 1888


 Conflicting planetary influences are active today, according to as- trology. Good news of some sort may be expected by the United States government.
 While the stars promise improved conditions for high officials who have incurred i'll feeling, there may be widespread disapproval of poli- cies affecting labor and foreign re- lations.
 Workers benefit under this rule of the stars which encourages com promises and assures better wages in many trades.
 This is not an suspicious rule un- der which to start any new enter prise, but it promises profit for whatever is well established
 Aged persons should take pre- cautions to escape colds under this sway which seems to foreshadow many cases of pneumonia.
 Mercury -besieged by Mars and Neptune appears to presage war on big scale. The British govern ment will continue to focus world attention as its international prob lems multiply.
 Sudden changes in weather are to be marked as the autumn ad- vances and a record-making bliz- gard is prophesied for December. Much illness will mark next month when hospitals will be filled.
 Financial conundrums will be troublesome to Washington. Several states will face grave problems next month, it is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Men will make advantageous changes, but they should be wary of strangers.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be much liked and able to win friends easily. Subjects of this sign may reach high places through hard work.

THE NEED FOR MAKING ALASKA
 HIGHWAYS SAFE

Back in the 1885 Legislature bill was mtro- duced in the Territorial House proposing the creation of highway patrol system for the Territory. At that time it made little headway, being treated Tn humorous light with most Legislators on the theory it was not necessary and they may have been right at the time. But the growing number of automobile accidents too often resulting in injuries to car occu- pants and in some instances fatalities give the forthcoming Legislature food for thought again along highway patrol lines.
 Cities of the Territory, of course can handle their own traffic problems but outside the city limits there is supervision whatsoever. True marshas and their deputies have authority, but they have neither the money nor the equipment to carry on patrols the highways checking drunken, reckless and careless driving.
 Despite the fact that roads in the Territory are limited in number. they are for the most part ? near centers of population and used, in com- parison with population extensively the average highway in the States The Glacier Highway here is typical example Similar conditions exist near Fair = banks Anchorage and other cities Limited mileage eand many automobiles make traffic heavy. The -lresult, proven again by the fatality on the highway here yesterday that eventually something must be done Alaska to regular traffic the public high ways and make them safe for the motorist
 It must be admitted that there is lot of drunken driving well as reckless driving check of police records here in Juneau will reveal quite sizeabe list of offenders. The campaign put by the Elks and the City Police essened the number appreciably sand with close police supervision most Of the traffic sviolaons be eliminated in the city. But what sSis to be done to make the Glacier Highway the @Richardson Highway and the rest of them through qssout the Territory safe?
 Perhaps Alaska isn't ready for a highway patrol. Maybe other plan be devised which would e~sbe equally effective But certainly something will be done rid the highways of Alaska of the drunken driver the reckless driver the careless driver and the rest of the unfit drivers who endanger life and limb of the normal law-abiding motorist

 The National Council of Women has put its foot down. It will not tolerate any attempt to zip up the midway at the New York Worlds Fair with Sally Rand devices which were so prominent in Chicago We wish the good ladies joy in their work, which is a fine one and express a doubt or two
 Every one talks of Sally Rand. but the tradition that worlds fair is complete without moderate ly undraped female dancer goes back much further The name of Little Egypt still makes many old fellow leer above his corncob How many recall that Little Egypt burst upon astounded world at the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893, year in which women were not even supposed to have knees?

CRAFT TO VIE IN
CUP.
By KIRK MILLER

The tens of thousands of Specta-
tors who will throng the shores Of
the Potomac River the last week
end in September to witness the
fleet gold cup boats race in the
eleventh annual regatta for the
Presidents cup, will be seeing an
event which indeed will have an
international aspect.
Because several of the craft
which compete here will have
raced in Paris early next month,
as we'll as in Detroit'S gold cup
races on Labor Day, notably
Maud and Jack Rutherfurd'S
Juno and the entry of Count Theo
RoSSi, of Italy.
Thus the washington event will
be in the form of finale to the
1885 summer activity, making 1t
as rich in interest as any of the
previous ten gold cup events
which have been run-off here for
the Presidential trophy.
