Bootleggers of Ketchikan are going to be cleaned up and cleaned out ,
That is a certainty. Tublic sentiment will cot tolerate in the future as It
has In the past the conditions that have exis-trd. The American Legion Is
cow taking a hand in the cleanup and as It was successful In driving the
kaiser from his entrenchments, a thousand, a million times stronger than
the fortifications of the bootleggers, so will Ketchikan Tost aid the officers
of the law in ending the period of lawlessness which has been existing
If there is any bootlegger or importer of narcotics in Ketchikan, let
Mm read the resolutions adopted last nigh: b> the Ketchikan Tost No. 3 of
the legion, which were read publicly last night at a session of the ex-serv
ice men attended by the federal officials and by members of the executive
committee of the Commercial Club of Ketchikan, the mayor and some of
the members of the city council, and which are as follows:
WHEREAS the present federal authorities of the Ceiled States Dis
tort Court now In Ketchikan have declared tl.eir intention to hereafter
enforce the law against violaters of tl.e prohibition laws more strictly than
Las been the case in the past, and
WHEREAS recent results have proved more fruitful than any previous
ly gained in a like period, and
WHEREAS one of the prime motives of the AMERICAN LEGION ;f
the upholding of law and order, therefore be It
Resolved that the Ketch kan Post Xun.ber Three. Department of Alas
ka. AMERICAN" LEGION. dOM !er. t>> extcfad to the federal and assisting
city officers of the law their written commendation of results alreadv
achieved and for their announced determination to rid the city of this
class of law-breakers and in this way making Ketchikan a better place to
live in.
• • • • •
District Attorney A. G Shoup last night at the legion meeting men
tioned the fact that investigation has proved that 97 per cent, of the wo
men "down the line'' were users of narcotics The women in tum make
narcotic users of many young men It would take many arguments to the j
contrary to destroy that one great reason »h; the line should go and the '
women sent away, or more wiselv. put in a hosp tal somewhere. Props-1
fcandists of dope and disease" Of course the figr.t to drive them out will ]
continue and those who have moved up town and are now running night >
schools in the use of dope must be rounded up. and will tie.
The responsibility of the average citizen in enforcing the law, a thing !
well to rfftnember. was brought out by Mr Snonp also when lie urged that j
all jurors in all courts try case.- according to the evidence and not accord- :
ing to the gossip of the street, or of sen'in.ent This is a point Well taken
and will be thought of more seriou*!} in the future.
It was unfortunate that the whole town could net have .heard Mar- I
•lial Beaumont's talk at the Legion stnoVor. Most eflectively he pointed j
out the efforts of the ring" to plant spies in the federal offices, to teil of 1
what has taken place and what is to take place, that they might be prop- ,
trly protected, and of siu.ster propaganda that the bootlegging leaders
spread about town against this person and that person and this official and
that official, and tell to one official against another with the hope of creat
ing a discord which will work to lessen the efforts for enforcement of law
and order.
The marshal also struck the keynote of the meeting when he told those
present that he would let them in on a secret, to wit:
"THAT THE LAW IS GOING TO BK ENFORCED."
Mr Maltby brought out a fact too often forgotten by the many per
sons who want to see the town cleaned up of bootleggers and who so state
piivately and publicly, and that was that they too often partake of liquor
themselves and even purchase it. And he pointed out that it is the duty
of ail to desist from giving support to the bootleggers by purchasing their
goods and thereby aiding them to remain in business.

The I-region meeting was just such ns one might expect such a splendid
body of men to conduct, a iredit to the ex-service men and to Ketchikan.

1H REAl ( HATS ACTIVE
Chief Forester W. R Greeley, thru the medium of the Forestry Maga
zine. which is apparently becoming the propaganda medium of the forestry
bureaucrats, suggests that Alaska be allowed to continue as she is until
ready for statehood. However. Mr. Greeley fails to designate a time when
such a condition might be looked for. If Alaska is To await the time when
she can develop statehood under the present bureaucratic system, then i
tnere is little likelihood that the present generation will live to see the day
when her senators and representatives will sit in Washington.
It is quite natural that Mr Greeley, in consonance with the propagan- '
da bureau at Juneau, whose functions appear to be to mould public- opin- !
ton against the only measure ever evolved to aid Alaska, should sound a-1
new note by suggesting that Alaska should be cut off from financial aid.
The old slogan of centralization of power under the secretary of the inter- I
ior has become threadbare and something new must take its place.
Like the platitudinous chorus that has assailed the ears of Alaskans j
for the last down year*. Mr. Ore*ley's pronouncement upftt the agrlrultar
al and other resources becomes raucous in consonance of ream* of this
sort of bosh that has emanated from those who would "do something for
Alaska."
The public may expect this sort of propaganda from now until the con
solidation bill is disposed of. and should not sake Mr. Greeley too seriously
The bureaucrats hare a right to fight for their meal ticket the same as
anyone else, and they have a coterie of disappointed office seekers sctf
iered throughout the territory working to defeat all effort at improve
ment—Anchorage Times.
