MR. THANE MEETS WARM WELCOME.
The people of Juneau welcome Mr. Thane to his
old homo with unfeigned pleasure and genuine en
tliuBinrm. He i ■ welcomed for himself by friends
who have known him as an Alaskan and Juneaulte
far years. Ho is doubly welcomed because of the
promise to the community and Alaska that Ills mis
i ou here portends.
Mr. Thane's name in Juneau is always associated
with development. His Juneau activities for more
than n dozen years have been connected with big
things. It was his genius that brought the Alaska
Gastineau Company lo this city, and his present visit
is for the purpose of putting to work the large hydro
electric plant that company developed but whicli lias
been idle, in most part, since the closing of the
mine and ore mill of the company.
Mr. Thane is accompanied by Mr. Wulzen and
Mr. Scmpio of the old Alaska Gastineau organization
Mid two prominent engineers, Mr. Tomita and Mr.
Ubtkawa, proving, as always, that lie is proceeding
with rystem and efficiency toward the accomplish
ment of his purpose.
The plans of Mr. Thane and those who accompany
him comprehend the beginning of industries that will
ineurc rapid growth on Gastineau Channel and in our
part of tlie Territory. If investigation proves condi
tions to be as satisfactory as they arc believed to bo a
prosperous future for Junau and its region of Alaska I
is assured.
That Junau’s good will und her generous support
will be the portion of those whom Mr Thane has got
Interested in the natural resources of this section
gees without saying. They may look for the wel
come that awaits developing capital and a square j
deal from the public.
EUROPEANS HAVE NO REASON TO
COMPLAIN.
Returning tourists, statesmen and others, say
tlmt in every Nation in Europe people are complain
ing tliut the United States is not "assisting" tlient
enough. The complaints often take the form of
abucc. Well, since the war the United States has
tent money over the Atlantic to feed the hungry, to
care for the sick, to aid in the rehabilitation of
legions devastated by a war that wo hud not part
ii starting, and for other charitable purposes, to the
« xtent of $5,600,000,000. Tills has been in the nature
of free-will offerings of money we have taxed out
of our own pockets in addition to that we have
loaned European countries, since the war, $5,600,-j
000,000. European countries have failed to make
prevision for the payment of the Interest on much!
of tliis latter sum to ray nothing of the repayment :
of the principal.
Does it not seem that it is about time for Euro
pean- to get their affairs into shape so that ‘they
might make a business proposition to us rather
than to continue whining? It is said that God helps'
those who help theme Ivc. I)o Europeans want the
United States to do better by them than they would
ark God to do?
The Empire believes that the United States should
have Joined the League of Nations, and that it should I
new try to work out a proposition for cooperation!
to offer the European countries, but that is certainly
not became Emapiana have any right to complain of
this country.
SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL PROBLEM.
While Seattle is gently agitated over the proposal
to consolidate her City anti County governments San
Francisco is discussing the proposal of separating her
<on.'i lidated City and County governments. San
Francisco has outgrown San Francisco County and
tlopptd over into San Mateo County and is trying
to work out a hatinoni/ing plan to extend her bound
uiles to include tin entire city.
Sometime ago there was considerable discussion
along the west tide ol San Francisco Hay of the an
nexation of all of San Mateo County to San Fran
cisco. For some reason it did not materialize but the
lisldenta of the San Mateo County cities of San
Mateo, Burlingame and Hill-borough and the people
as far south as Belmont want to join the big city
■which lias grown out to them. The remainder of
San Mateo County, however, objects to losing so much
* ot *><*r taxpaying properly. To meet this sugges
tion it is proposed to separate the City and County
governments- of San Francisco, unite San Francisco
and San Mateo Counties under the name of Hie
later, and permit the City of San Francisco to ex
tend her boundaries a:: the situation might warrant.
It is suggclcd that under this arrangement San
Francisco would extend her limits along San Fran
cisco Bay as far as Palo Alto.
NEW LIGHT ON HENRY FORI).
A. L. Benson, former Socialist candidate for Presi
dent, in his biography of Henry Ford, say* the auto
iioblle millionaire has changed completely his view
point about war since lit lti.^fi 1916 he was so strong
pt peace that hr declared tlrar he would oppose
pKlstfng iBvasi&a with armed force. In 1921, Ben
boii says, Ford said there will he another war soon,
and the United States should get it in at the begin
ning and "clean them all up." He says Ford thinks
the United States should have the strongest navy in
the world.
Unconsciously once in a while the truth will
come out. A gieat New York newspaper, whose
owner has been one of those who has never seen
much good that did not originate in New England
and who has often belittled Jefferson, secured the
rights to publish Hie- state papers and writings of
President Coolidge in New York. In advertising the
issues of the Herald containing the Coolidge articles
appears the declaration that Coolidge's state papers
and writings equal those of Jefferson, Madison and
Wilson. v
Searchers of Coolidge history have discovered
that Mrs. Coolidge was reared in a staunch Demo
cratic family. Her father, Capt. Andrew 1. Goodhue
was appointed a member of the steamboat inspection
hoard by Grover Cleveland when he was first Presi
dent and held the office until last December. Pour
mcntlis later he died, still a Democrat though a greut
admirer of the Vice-President of the United States.
The Hardin*? Memorial.
(Anchorage Tlinee.)
Tho flrFt visit of a President of the I'nitcd
States to the Territory of Alaska Is to he commem
orated hy a monument to be erected by the people
of Alaska. It seems especially apprporiate that
Alaska should bestow some enduring honor upon the
departed President. It cannot well be said that the
President's death was a price paid for his visit within
the borders of the Territory, for it is probable that
the ocean voyage through the cool inland waters
which border tho picturesque coast line of Alaska
and the trips by rail into the very heart of the most
beautiful and awe-inspiring scenery to be found on
the American continent must have had a beneficial
and refreshing effect upon the President, already
worn by the strain of the broadcasting of a na
tional policy as he crossed tho continent. Neverthe
less it is possible that, had the President remained
in Washington the nation's flag would not now be
bowed in token of the grief of a stricken nation.
The people of Alaska feel that, in grateful memory
I of a true and sincere man, whose interest and sym
pathy for the Territory of Alaska called him live
| thousand miles away from his home and the seat of
i his official duties, the love and esteem which wells
I high in the heart when the reaper’s call has sounded
should find expression in a suitable monument erected
to the memory of Warren G. Harding.
It is also fitting that the Pioneers, who have re
j veuled Alaska as a worthy sister in the constellation
upon the field of blue, should be the ones to propose
and, together with the whole people of the Terri
tory, to erect this monument. The honor, if any
there be, which shall be recorded by the angel in the
hook of life, knows neither coast nor interior, nor
Divisions First or Second or Third or Fourth, nor
name of town or private citizen, but shall be set
in living letters in the book, against the word Alaska,
and the town of Ketchikan, the gateway, where the
President first breathed the inspiration of the North
and visioned an empire in the land of the midnight
sun, is chosen as the proper site. Let It bo done.

Collins Huilded Well.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)
i A year ago yesterday the world was startled by
j the news of the daath of Michael Collins, moving
i spirit of the Irish Free State. Much water has passed
| under the bridge since he was taken off and Ireland
j lias made much progress toward peace. It Is too bad
| that the Father of the Irish Free State could not have
I lived to seo how well he had huilded. Hut then there
| is always the consoling thought that as a martyr
j he might have done more for the land he loved than
he could have done if he lived. And if that is true
there Is no doubt that he would have been glad, even
;i" he had Known In advance, to pay the price he did.
Michael Collins' name will live in history.
General George W. Goetlials, speaking before the
Rotary Club of New York City, raid that alter his

long, narrow a.id wooden.”—(Boston News Bureau.)
The principal difference between American and
European extravagance in government is that when

A couple of Middle Western edtiors are whiling
away the torrid season debating whether Eabor &
Capital is a more successful firm than Supply & De

It must be tough on Bryan to learn that John
Wesley was an evolutionist, but he'll never give up;
at least not until he discovers that John Knox, may
be, entertained similar Eiuful views.—(Cincinnati

The Administration doctors now have decided
that beer is not medicine. May be they are right.

The rush cf aliens to Ellis Island indicates that

Whether tho Western brand of radicalism is
"dangerous” depends upon the point of view. It Is
certainly a menace to the nerv^ of political man

Americans may know little about European pol-j
