FORMER EMPIRE MAN IN BUSINESS.
Arthur W. Henning, for several years business
manager of The Empire, has become associated with
the Airdry Electric Service Company, Pacific Coast]
sales agents for Airdry, "the electric towel.” E. S.
Hewitt, formerly a Juneau business man, is President
cf the company, which he organized. Mr. Henning,
in addition to being Vice-President of the company,,
is Washington State manager, and lias established I
offices at Seattle. Mr. Hewitt's headquarters are at,
San Francisco, where the main office of the company
are located. E. J. Kingrfbury, formerly with the
Treadwell company, is in charge of the ixis Angeles
offices.
Mr. Henning lias many friends in Juneau made
during Ills nearly four years’ connection with The
Empire and a previous residence hero when he was
office manager for Charles Goldstein. All of them
will wish him the large measure of success and
prosperity that Ills ability, energy and high character,
deserve.
Mr. Henning is missed in Juneau In general and
by The Empire in particular. His faithfulness, at
tention to detail, zeal and loyalty were among the
things which added to the pleasure of making The
Empire during the years he was associated with It.
ARTICLES OF FAITii.
The Baltimore Sun, on the occasion of a birthday
anniversary recently, restated its "articles of faith,”
and the statement Is one that should be read by all
1 the people of the country. Its declaration that, “Of,
all the evils threatening this country today the great
est is the constant inflation of government,” is an
opigram that should be pressed home, a slogan that
should bo met with response from the American I
masses.
Writing under the head, “Articles of Faith,” tho t
great Baltimore paper said:
If a highwayman — say, the lamented
Dick Turpin—‘Were to present a pistol and
demand to know In one word just what The
Evening Sun stands for, we should perforce
reply, witout hesitation, “conservatism.”
And if, as would be likely, this forth
rightness should take him off his feet and
put him, rather than us, on the defensive,
we should follow up the one word with
another, “tolerance."
If ho were a wise highwayman, accus
tomed to using the brains with which his
Creator had endowed him, he would find in
these words a complete explanation of the
constant concern of this paper with job
holders, politicians, the Anti-Saloon Dengue
and its spiritual offspring the K. K. K., Chi
cago, Congressman, the Hevorend William
David Upshaw, Babbits, boosters, the war to
end war, the lord's Day Alliance, uplifters,
reformers, the Bolshevlkl, taxes, the farm
bloc, horse racing, ship subsidies, the tariff.
Mr. Daugherty and his Injunctions, and all
the phantasmagoria of this amazing land and
time.
Conservatism implies holding fast to that
which Is goo<^ Much that was good in this
country has been lost beyond recall. It,
therefore bchcoves the true conservative to
hold on to that which is left, and strive to
undo ro far as in him lies the evil which
is net already Irremediable.
The most Important things in Ibis country
aro the men who make It up. Experience
has taught—the founding fathers know it
better than we know It today—that men
grow best when they are treated as men and
not aB children. The important thing for
the conservative Is to conserve rhe op
portunity for men to grow to their full
stature. Hence The Evening Sun opposes
all those measures, all those organizations,
all those movements which seek to encroaeti
upon tho right of men to he men.
Of all the evils threatening (his country
today the greatest is the constant inflation
of government. We Americans have mere
government to start with than most peoples.
Wo have our local governments, our State
governments and on top of them the Federal
Government. ’l’his last is the most danger
ous because it Is furthest removed from the
people over whom It rules.
And It is swelling enormously. Nearly
every law which Congress passes clips a i
little off the edge of the citizen's independ
ence. And the same law takes a little more
out of his earnings. The lawmakers get us i
conning and going. If they keep on, we shall (
soon have liule of either left. The Eve
ning Sun proposes to try to conserve that
liberty which we still have and get as much 1
hack of what we huve lost as it is possible t
to get.
In addition to this vastly bloated legal
government, there are a whole host of extra- t
legal governments which are striving with 1
might and main to do their bit toward tak
ing away from the citizen his few remain
ing rights. The Anti-Saloon League is the c
arch example of this kind of extra-legal gov- l
ernmont. The Ku Klur Klan is one of its
absurder manifestations. One is run by
sbrenvd fanatics, the other by avaricious t
clowns. But the spirit which animates both
of them, and all the other leagues and asso
ciations of those who want to make the
other fellow do it their way, is precisely the
same. Consistent with our “llve-and-let
livo" policy, we are against the lot of them.
If we have a rule about these things, it
is this—let them talk. That goes also for <
the Bolshoviki, the Babbits, the uplifters
in-general. When they talk, they are ful
filling their God-given right. When they
strive to do more, they are to be skotched.
The Evening Sun, finally, is a firm be
liever in old-fashioned economics. It has an
abiding faith ni the law of supply and de
mand, and it resents any interference by
the Government with that law.
Heroin, we believe, are contained tho
most important of tho articles of faith to
which this papor has subscribed. They
are so old-fashioned, so out-of-date, as to
read almost like an eighteenth century mani
festo. Indeed, that is exactly the time from
which they are taken. All of them, in fact,
come out of the Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution of the United States—as it
was—and the Bill of Rights.
Johnson Asked to Leave G. O. F.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
On the principle that ho who is not tor is against ns,
and that a good Republican Is one that does something
for the Republican party, Senators Johnson, Borah
and La Follette have been politely, but none the less
plainly, invited to leave the G. O. P. and join the
Democrats.
Said Nathaniel A. Elsberg on his reelection as
president of the National Republican Club:
"I want to see the time, and that soon, when men
who have been elected by Republican votes and sup
ported by Republican newspapers, and who style
themselves Republicans, but who at every opportunity
assail a Republican administration. President and
Cabinet, are thrown out of the Republican party and
over into the Democratic party, where they belong
I have particular reference to Borah, La Follette and
Johnson."
Here i3 another man who takes a view of Senator
Johnson entirely different, from that of a legion ol
Johnron admirers in California. It was bad enough
to have Eastern editors making tun of Hiram as an
unconsciously amusing egotist and lampooning him
in cartoons us Broncho Billy, the political cowboy
from the Wild West, and, of course, it was easy to
understand why his jealous rival, Henry Ford, should
accuse him of being insincere and inconsistent, but it
must come as a shock to hear the president of the
National Republican Club telling him that he really
belongs with the Democrats and should go over to
them.
Naturally Hiram Johnson will do nothing of the
kind. True ho was elected by Republican votes, sup
ported by Republican newspapers and styled himself
a Republican, and it is also true that he has as
sailed the Ropublican administration, President and
Cabinet, but that is no reason for him going over
to the Democrats. He has not assailed President
Harding any more savegly than he assailed President
Wilson. The fact is that it has become a habit with
Hiram to assail everybody and everything, and par
ticularly anything of a constructive character calcu
lated to promote the peace of ithe world.
The fighting Hiram doesn't want peace in any
thing. He would be just ns uncomfortable with the
Democrats and would make them ever more uncom
fortable than ho has made it he Republicans.
When a man has "gone from bad to Hearst" he
never can bo happy with any party but one of his
own and Hoarst's making. Besides, the man from
whom he takes Instructions is a Democrat only when
the Dorn corats are not in power. While the Demo
cratic party Is the party of opposition it is sup
ported, but for purely opposition purposes. The mo
ment it gets Into ower the yellow press attacks it
with the same venom that it attacked the Republi
cans and would attack any party that refused to do its
bidding.
Senator Johnson will not bo distressed in the
least iby the invitation to close the Republican door
from the outside. He will continue to label himself
as he pleases and do as he pleases. And if he never
gets the Republican nomination, what of It? Some
men are marked out by late to plow arlone furrow
and, if it comes to the point, Hiram would rather
bo different than be President.
Brandes on America.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
Praise from the famous of other countries always
Is pleasant >to hear. Georg Brandos, the Danish
critic, next to Anatole Prance perhaps the greatest
literary figure in the world today, is enthusiastic
about the self-criticism that is developing In our
country.
In a recent lecture he said:
“Most of all do I believe in the future of tire
Linitde States. T'he decisive point here is the in
cnslvo self-criitlcism. Vanity and self-consciousness
tre now of the past. * * * Take such a book as
Civilization in the United States,- the work of thirty
roung Americans. * * * It critlci'bes thoroughly each
sphere of life in the Statse: law, politics, literature,
irt. press, veerythlng whatsoever. In these little
•elf-admiring countries of Norway and Denmark, the
publication of such a book would be impossible."
One likes to see such commendation of an Ameri
can book of sharp self-criticism. But one fears that
Ilie book did not go far—in distribution—worthy as
It was.
it seems, though, to be another sample of an
American work making a deeper impression upon a
foreign critic than upon our awn people.
Groat optimism has the Anti-Saloon League, which,
laving failed to make the United States dry in four
fears, is not deterred from trying to make the whole
.vorld dry in five years.—(Springfield Union.)
Former Justice Clarke says the League of Nations
'ill he an Issue next year. He is an Incorrigible op
Imist.—(Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. >
Outside of the Ruhr Europe is so quiet now that
t is almost Impossible to believe that Hiram Johnson
s there.—(Boston Transcript.)
The Russians havo decided to invite Debs over
>nd this country might manage to get along if he
lecided to stay there.—(Indianapolis News.)
Dr Cook seems not to have changed radically
luce he “discovered" the North Pole.—(Pittsburgh
lazette-Times.)
lit may not be respect for the law that keeps a
nan from drinking. It may be respect for the old
tomach.—(Baltimore Sun.) *
Bonar Law’s health suffers every time the opposi
ion carries a Parliamentary election.—(Philadelphia
tecord.)
It is not probable President Harding bought the
Id farm because of his implicit faith in the farm
loc. — (Toledo Blade.)
