HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8

Good and evil planetary as
poets contend for today. The
early morning is promising for
well-balanced judgment. Naval
matters should benefit. Devel-
opment and expansion of indus
tries are presaged.
Heart and Home: Girls need
not expect romance under this
CONFORMATION which should in
cline them toward independence
and desire to serve in some
line of defense work. Need of
physicians and nurses is stressed
by the seers who foretell epidem-
les in which intestinal influenza
will be prevalent. Nervous dis
eases VIII spread alarmingly,
even in the United States where
wars effects will be strongly
felt among citizens rs well as
refugees.
Business Affairs: Manufac-
turing in long established plants
now will set the pace for new
centers of industry which will
be widely distributed. Both the
Atlantic and the Pacific coasts
will prosper amazingly, but
danger of attack by hostile nav
les and air forces will be feared
to an extent which causes indus
tries to also build in cities of
the interior. There is sign
threatening naval action in Pa
cific waters, but not close 10 our
continent.
National Issues: Statesmen
who recognize the progress OF
the world economic revolution
will be wise in advocating indus
trial safeguards. Labor will in
terfere with an important plan
OF great significance TO manu-
facturers as well as exporters.
True patriotism will require
more and more the subordina-
ton of selfish aims TO the serv-
ice OF the nation. Workers are
warned that they will be pawns
in the game of enemies OF de-
mocracy.
international Affairs: Al
though violent midwinter storms
are forecast rs doing grave dam
age to shipping there is q sign
read as promising for naval ex-
pansion. The British navy is to
benefit through strong additions
of destroyers and submarines. An
invention is to be of incalculable
aid in extending and strength
ening the blockade. Increase Of
help from the United States is
prognosticated. Uncle Sans neu-
trality will vanish as winter ad-
vances.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury Of a year Of
success and happiness. Favor
able influences will benefit mind
and body.
Children born on this day will
be keen-witted and talented. in
dustrious and original They
may be quick-tempered and in
clined 10 be too independent.

are indebted to corporation spon-
sorship Is left to surmise and
suspicion. There is nothing open
about it to guide the voters de-
cision.
But he who believes the labor
contribution Is unethioal must
agree with him who believes
that no member Of the very
large element Of the population
can afford to be a mem Der Of
the legislature AZ SO per diem.
labor must help out with
expenses or do without a spolSes-
man on the floor of the legisla-
ture. And IL NAV be that some
others sponge meals from lob
byists and accept fees and re-
tanners from interests with sus-
picious motives only because
they are hard up.
IF the people of the state do
not like any of this they Will
not be in very good position to
demand that it cease until they
have consented to pay members
enough to live on"
The same argument applies in
the state of Washington where
the legislators will assemble
next Monday to serve for so
days at the SIS per day estah-
lished by the constitution IN
1889. Fixing salaries was
tough Job for the constitution
makers. What came out of their
deliberations was a flexible
schedule for all but members Of
the legislature. Five dollars
seemed like lot of money in
1889 when living costs in Olym-
pia were much less than they
are now and transportation COM
panies were glad to provide
passes for the lawmakers. But
times have changed. and legis-
lators who go to Olympia ex-
pecting to live on the SIS per
day salary are due for disap-
pointment.
One effect of skimping on the
salary is to deprive the state Of
the services of good men who
cannot afford to spend 90 days
in the legislature and pay part
of their own expenses. Another
effect is to make it easier for
representatives of special inter-
ests to get on the blind side of
legislators whose convictions are
not too strong and influence
their votes on important legis-
lation.
Several times the voters have
rejected a proposal to amend the
constitution to provide for in
creased compensation for legis-
lators. Until they do. as The
Oregonian points out. voters are
not in position to criticize
m m bers of the legislature
whose expenses are paid by spe-
cial interests.

ALASKA AND THE WAR

As this is written, the eventual ity of the United States entering the war becomes more imminent. There Is growing conviction that unless some unforeseen eireumstan- ees arise this country can not es- cape becoming a belligerent on the side Of Great Britain. Primary req son for this feeling is the belief that in order to help England with supplies 1t will become necessary to convoy them across the Atlantic. Conveys entering the war zone are subject to attack, and attack doubt less would result in an open situa- tion of war.
 In Berlin the leaders of Japan and Germany are in conference and statements already coming from the meeting infer that should Uncle Sam and Germany clash in the At lantic it will be the duty of Japan. as an Axis partner, to do what it can in the Pacific 10 assist Ger many That prboably would mean harrassing shipping in the Pacific, and possible nuisance attacks on the west coast.
 Alaska enters definitely into this picture. The Territory is at the north end of the Nays first line of defense in the Pacific running south to Samoa. Defense bases are being rushed to completion in the north but this yet will require years. While highly improbable, a direct attack on Alaska at this time from across the Pacific would leave the Navy the ticklish problem or de- lending the northland aided by the handful Of army troops now in the Territory. That eYentuality is, how ever, not likely. What is more prob able in the event of American en- trance into the war, however, is that ships 10 Alaska, as to other places, would have to be conveyed 10 guard against probable nuisance attacks.
 Though we think Of the war in Europe, should it reach the Pacific Alaska will be in the front line of defense. It behooyes Alaskans to bear that in mind. Many towns in the Territory already have taken steps to help protect themselves against nuisance attacks, primarily sabotage. Home defense units are being formed in preparation against a possible emergency. It should be done in every community. It should certainly be done in Wrangell which is a regular port of call for ships coming to Alaska and over the docks of which flows vast quanti- ties of goods up the river to an al- ready warning Canada.
 Alaska towns naturally haven't the man power or equipment to de- fend against direct major attack, but they can do much for them- selves against nuisance attacks. They can be prepared to guard their docks, their water works. light plants and other vital points against sabotage

Bells appeal is worthy of consideration by mem
bers of our group.
The time has come, the Negro must pool his effrots

We have very often said that Christian Religion is
a business cotract with God
Anything that is worth doing should be done in a
business like way. The preaching of the gospel, the
singing of songs, praying, tlIng the soil cleaning
The house and what not should have connected with
them real business
Members Of our group are woefulIy short in bust
ness management Let us read and ponder over the
appeal coming from President Bell and let us be-
stir ourselves and start somewhere in abusiness hkt
We may moan we may shout, we may educate
but 1t these things are done without business at
tached TO them we are doomed
This appeal from President Bell is to the women
Of our group as well as men Business men and wo-
men are needed. If I had business woman I could
Place her in a posistion that would mean much to
