r.ATTOV GUARANTEED TO BE MORE THAN |
BICtLE THAT OF ANY OTHER ALASKA NEWSPAPER
JUNEAU’S BIG PAY.
Yesterday wa;: one of the greatest days In the
history cf Juneau. It marked the Capital City's partlci
patirfh In the beginning: of a now epoch In the career of
Alaska—unices all signs fall. The visit to Juneau of
thoy Prr ■Idrnt, three members of his Cabinet, other
high clticials and mere than a score of the best
political writers of as many newsgatherlng organlza
t'cnr and great newspapers will be remembered to
the end of their days by the people of this city. And
wo hhvc the assurance of the visitors that they will
not forget It.
Mayor Goldstein's committee of citizens, Governor
Bene, Mayor Goldstein, himself, and all who had
to do with ye.terday’s receptions, conferences and
entertainments did their work well, and every part
of the program was carried out without a hitch.
The thing above all, however, was the evident
earnestness of President Harding and all the other
vlsltorr to learn about Alaska and to learn ai>out it
with the purpose in view to aid it in all possible
ways, and the favorable impression made by Alaska
and her people.
After the virit of the President the people of
Juneau can easily understand why he has made a
distinctly favorable impression on the people of the
country. Mgre than two years as the head of the
Nation, with its responsibilities and intensive study
of National and world affairs have left their im
pression on the man who was a very able Senator
from Oblo. That Mr. Hauling is every inch a Presi
dent, werthy of the great country of which he Is the
Chief Magirtratc, ir the verdict cf those who came In
contact with him here—-and that is, apparenlty the
judgment of the people everywhere who have met him
Stirlng hi 3 Western trip.
FISH PIRACY MUST BE STOPPED.
The salmon, packers of Southeastern Alaska are
again bring rarely harrarsed by fish pirates. There
is hardly a cannery company In this section which i
has not had lieh traps lifted and the eatches stolen J
by rcb'bers. Not only is property being stolen but |
human life i;-, jeopardized by the e mauraderg who
are plying the waters of this region and stealing.
ThiH is comcthing that must be stopped if those
who have invested their money in Alaska and who
are conducting cur loading Industry are to have a
tquare deal. Pis h stealing in Alaska is a crime j
comparable with horse and cattle stealing on the!
frontier: of the part. The fact that the sinuous!
waters and wide distrl but ion of the salmon traps
make the task of guarding against robbery difficult j
addc to the gravity of the crimes that are being!
cemraittcd and adds to their similarity with the!
performances cf the range raiders of the last genera-;
ticn. |*'irh pirates are entitled to no more sympathy;
than was bc-tcwrd upon horse thieves when the Old I
Wect was a new country.
MANITOBA DISCARDS BONE DRY LAW. j
After f half dczcn yearn of costly experience!
in wrestling: with the problems of prohibition and ■
bootlegging Manitoba bus voted by an overwhelming j
majority In favor of a government-controlled liquor]
ryctem like that in Hiltiah Columbia. Both women I
and nun voted at tile Manitoba election and that I
the pai ticipation was general la shown by the enor-|
moils vote that was cart.
If tlie viting in Manitoba had been on the quos-,
tion of returning to the old saloon system the major-'
ity would probably have been as overwhelmingly ]
against the liquor traffic as it was in its favor,!
People are again;! the saloons. That fight has been
won. That is what a very large percentage, perhaps
h majority, of those who supported prohibition
in the United .States really had in their minds when
they voted as they did The Anti-Saloon League
ifartcd out simply to put the saloon out of busi
ness. It changed Its program at a time when the1
people were hungiy for the opportunity to make Hac-1
lificr and the radical dry leaders saw a chance to
go further. They went tint her than the mass of j
the people were prepared for, and the result Is an1
ali but intolerable situation.
A modification cf the Volstead Act would probably I
ratirfy the people. If the m e cf wine and beer could !
be allowed it would cr, reduce Iho demand for hard'
liquor that there wculd not be the profits that are
now' In the traffic for the Imotloggers. There would
be fewer iloons, le: drunkenness, fewer Fatly Ar
buckle road house, bed-room and apartment house I
parties, levs crime, smaller cost of administration, j
and. If desired, there could be a system of taxation1
on the business that would result in a profit to tax
payers.
it is melee- to pr-acli to people aboul observing
the law. There are some laws some people who are,
generally speaking, law-abiding will not observe. They
will drink stimulating liquor, they w-ill not observe the
Sabbath and they will gamble and that is the rule all
over the United States. Prohibition enforcement
officer.- havfe found it nceerary to wink at law viola
tion in all American cltici. when men of the world meet
in convention --po matter whether the convention is i
one of (tankers, merchants, manufacturers or proles-!
lj$r, iiyhctber the convention is political or It
-rs.-ae—rs.- ^
fraternal-or what the stratum of society that assem
bles. We have gambling In all our men's clubs. High
executive officers, officers of the law, Senators anti
Representatives In Congrcrs and State Legislatures,
officers of the army and navy, men and women,
church members and others, indulge in drink. It is a
condition and not a theory that confronts the country.
A law-made crime is not considered criminal by a
large percentage of the people, and it is absolutely
impossible to enforce it unless it meets with the
acquiesence of a very large majoriyt of the people.
There are too many people opposed to the Volstead
Act to permit its enforcement. As well try to stop
rlaylng bifldgfe for a mill a point or solo for the
cigars or shaknig dice for the lunch in our men's
Clubs.
It 1" time for sensible people to use their common
sense and so modify tho Volstead Act that it will
permit the use of wine and beer and try that. It may
net bring a wholly satisfy lory result but it would
improve the conditions that exist from any and every
standpoint.
There Is more room for a third party in a
Ford than for a Ford in a third party.—

Either eventually might be a trifle embarrassing.
When (he Hanks Halt Building.
(Now York World.)
For compelling caution In building undertakings,
when counsel proves insufficient, the banks of New
York City will probably be criticised in some quarters,
with uncomplimentary references to the "money
power."
The real money power is the people themselves,
in the savings banks of New York City alone there
are 2,680,000 separate depositors, including dupli
cates. State and national and private banks have a
great number of depositors of comparatively slender
means, managing small businesses for which a check
ing account is essential. With the hank officials fhis
money is placed in trust, to be loaned with a view
to fluidity and security.
The solvency of any banking establishment may
In crises rest upon the fluidity of its loans, the abil
ity to cash them at short notice. Savings banks,
which can take advantage of two months’ leeeway
In panic times in meeting withdrawals, can put rather
more of their assets into real-estate mortgages. But
no bank lending money on mortgage, and for that
matter no private individual, can afford to do so
without considering what the security is likely to be
worth ten years from now. if the risk is great, a
private lender may take the chance, for Interest and
a bonus; the properly managed bank can take no
risks.
So It Is the people themselves who have caused
building-loans to be more sharply scrutinized. The
buyers' strike against too expensive completed houses
and (lie bankers' ban on reckless building-loans are
but two different phases of one manifestation of
economic law.
Map Makers.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
From the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte to the
downfall of Wilhelm Mohenzollern the making of
maps was not a difficult task. From time to time
there were wars, and, after the wars, there were a
feW changes, mostly consisting of taking land away
front the Turks. The colonial maps also changed,
hut the changes were orderly and the work of the
cartographers war far from arduous. For a generation
before 1P14 political geography seemed to be fixed
and permanent. The boundaries of nations, appar-j
ently were ar durable as rivera and mountain ranges.
Of a sudden the making of maps ceased to be a
sinecure. Old nations were carved, new nations were
created. The heterogeneous, but seemingly perman
ent Austro-Hungarian Empire found itself divided
among seven dates, three of them new born. Inde
pendent nations with strange names appeared on the
fringe of the Russian realm. Elsewhere there were
diminutions and additions and alterations. The map
makers burned the midoight oil and did their best,
but their best has not been good enough. A map that
is corroct today is incorrect tomorrow. There are
boundaries that no one knowr. What, for instance,
is the present limit of the Turkish state? Even the
Turks would like to be told.
With just one exception the European changes
have consisted in the addition of new states and
realignment of old ones. Only one nation has been
erased from the map. And this nation was not one of
the vanquished, but a full-fledged member of the
victorious alliance.
Montenego is no more. The valorous warriors of
the Black Mountain have lost their identity and have
become an [indistinguishable part of the Kingdom of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Of all the Brlkan
States Montenegro was the only one never conquered
by the Turkr. Grcce, Bulgaria, Roumania, Serbia
are products cf very modern times; Montenegro
was an ancient stronghold of Christian freedom. It
is a sad ending that the victory of democracy to
which the Montenegrins contributed their full share
should result in Montenegrin extinction.
Yet it was inevitable that the union of the Jugo
slav race should bring about this extinction. Most
of the Montenegrins are satisfied. Being a part of
the great Jugo-Slav nation Is preferable to mainr
talnlng a precarious and microscopic independence.
And so the map makers, everywhere else con
fionted by kaleidoscopic complexities, may take com
fort that in one corner of the European continent
their work Is rlightly simplified. Montenegro was so
email that it was always difficult to indicate Its in
dependence on any but the biggest maps.
