IfHhare are any gods in Mars or
whimsical imps-sitting* on the edge, of:
Saturn giving us..the once over, they
must get a .wonderful kick, out of
A meriea. Give them a straw-to chew
on* amk-a stove to spit at and, this is,
about what they’re saying:,..
Now take Old Man Kellogg. He,
got all-them.there nations to sign up
to'-agree not- to fight -and afterhe gets
home, by jinks, Congress backs him
up with-five cruisers.
And then, on the other hand, wei
icti’t .want, to interfere around this
western hemisphere, so just to show ,
hoiv much we don’t we send marines !
to*Nicaragua, let the civil authorities!
of* Mexico have explosive guns and :
Islamite and don’t give ’em to any.-.;
body else.
Then again we- tjotr through bum-!
ing witches in Salem 300 years ago,
but just to show we can he up date j
*-3 start shooting each other in Penn- j
syvania. because a voodoo doctor tells
•jsi to. -
Then we have. .860. some churches f
saying the Bible was the-fundamental
wdrd and man never was or -never
■o*iki..bev.a^monfcey,. and--*360 odd*
churches spending millions in great
edifices, where*- - some heavy-looking
person cam get.up and say .man is and
always was a monkey, hut if he -folds
his hands and closes hia-eyes and but
tons his collar in the back, hefll final
ly.Aget to a race Gourse where - man- ■
keys are entirely excluded.
Then-while everybody was mixed.,
uft in the last great war the real pa-*
trlbts kept, the bom entires burning by.
slipping over v< the -18th * amendment i
arsti have been chortling^ about it ever
since, notwithstanding the fact that
the bootlegger is king with a poison
that costs four times as much as hon
est whiskey' used tu cost; that the
Govaummmt is spending millions in.
alleged enforcement instead of taking
in ..millions on sane regulation; that
prohibition has made so many crooks
out of one-time honest men that the
average citizen hesitates to approach
a public official, even to-ring- in a fire
alarm, and Chicago has got tired of
sniping ’e- mone at a time in the
streets or the bullrushes and gets ’em
all together in a barn and shoots ’em
wholesale.
Then the honest farmer—Old i?i
with his patched overalls and his
radio and his “Sin-Twrx—is just
breaking down in the middle of his
back and the Government must get
busy to help him, and in order to help
him must tinker with the tariff to.
give the big indumrialists another
billion so that the farmer can get a
million.
Then Uncle Sam gives S35O,Tt0ff
to the Colorado river to develop horse
power, but renigs cn oil permits be
cause wei don’t need oil anyway..
And we can spend $26,000,000'' to
Luild a cruiser and a. 000 airplane
can firop a bomo on it and blow ir
clean ont of the v.-?,ter.
Then up here ,if Alaska they ••=- —

HOOVER. EXPRESSES HIMSELF
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT
NEW YQRK.f—Here are "some pup
gent expressions used by President
Hoover in his . law enforcement a<L
dress at the. annual duncheon of the
Associated Presst
“If a la wis wrong, fts rgid enforce
ment is the surest guaranty of its re
peal. If a la wis right, its enforce
ment is the quickest method of com
pelling respectrror it.
“No individual ha&dhe right to de
termine what iaw-shaHibe obeyed and
what law shall be. enforced.
“Respect for law. and disobedience:
to law does not distinguish between,
federal and state lawsuit is .a com
fflon conscience.. .
“In our desire to he. merciful the
pendulum has swung in favor of the
prisoner and away from the protec
tion of society.
“The sympathetic, mind ’M of the
American peiple in its over concern
about those who are in difficulties has
swung too far from the family pf the
murdered to the family pf the. mur-.
derer..
- “If, insteads of the~glaraorous ro-.
monce and heroism which our Amer
ican, imaginative minds-too frequently

of officers who are endeavoring to en
force the law, it would itself de
crease crime.
“If law can be upheld only by en
forcement officers, then our scheme
of government is at an end.
“It is unnecessary for me to argue
the fact that the very essence of free
dom is obedience to law; that liberty
itself h,as but one foundation and that •
is the law.
“Our enforcement machinery is suf
fering from many infirmities arising .
outa of its technicalities, its circum
locutions, its involved procedures, and
too often, I regret, from, indicerent
and delinquent officials.

ALASKA. END OF INTERNA
TIONAL-HIGHWAY WOULD HE -
EASY., SAYS MAJOR ELLIOTT
Speaking about the projected inter- i
national highway, Major Malcolm EL j.
liott, of the Alaska Road Commission,..
•declares, the A.~-.a end of it would
be easy. “Any.time a road through
British jColumhia and Yukon .Terriv
tory touches the international bound
ary line it can., lie ..assumed that- an.
Alaska road-will be these- to meet it,”
he stated. “Whatevenroute. is selects
•ed, the American-road meeting- the
Canadian road, will lead*, to . Fair-.
banks." ’
It is his. opiuiondhat if the Domin.- .
ion government **t»Ottawa takes aru
interest in the. appropriation.- the
problem, would be-simple, as ample
funis eould then he-secured to push,!
it through,.. i
“The! culmination of this, project Ae:- ■
pends -almost entirely .on the action
taken in Canada,”, declacedcMajor Elr
hott. “The rrojeet-ivould.be of vast
ber.eljt to both Alaska, and Canada.
I he roadowuuld be*open.soaie>v thro?
months out of every year, and cer
'tainLy. many .pepple -would come-over '
it for recreational and business par- r
"poses.
“A. large part-of ihe» agitation.-i?r.v
favor of the road ha« been fostered..
•ar.d pot over., by Donald MacDonald,
assistant-superintendent of the Alas-*
ka Road-/Commission, and his action
in this matter has the approval of the
Commissiorw We are ready and will-1
ing. to co-operate in every practicable
Way*” ”
