WAY TOWNS VOTED WET

All important places in the First,
Second and Third judicial divisions
in Alaska We're voted wet recently.
and this may be taken to mean tina;
the people OF this Territory are
opposed TO prohibition. However, a
close inspection OF the conditions
under which these local elections
were held viii prove that the vote
does not show the real sentiment
of the people in regard TO the sale
of liquors. provided general prohibit
ton is considered
Some time ago it was suggested
for instance that a vote should be
taken in Fairbanks concerning the
liquor question, but The Citizen
took the ground thar such thing
would not be advisable, for if the
town should be voted dry" 1t
sand dollars year in license money,
but would not prevent the sale OF
liquor short distance from town.
This was the same argument that
was used by the conservative PEG
pie in the town where the liquor
elections were held
Whether the Territory Will be
voted dry at the special election
that has been provided for next
year by the Legislature, remains to
be seen. but in all probability it will
depend largely upon the way the
average saloonman conducts his bust
ness between now and that time.
Saloonmen are beginning to realize
that the sale of liquor is not the
only objection to their business, as
a general thing. but that it is the
questionable dealer, the man who
goes out Of his way to evade the
real spirit of the law governing
saloons. that arouses the most in
tense opposition 10 the business.
In the Second and First divisions
elections We're held. while in the
in each place to determine the SEN
timent of the majority Of the PEG
pie in regard TO the sale of liquors.
There has been some criticism of
the judges who authorized these
votes, but the law is quite plain in
regard to the provision that no

until ii is proved that the majority
of the adult men and women, who
are Americans, living within two
miles of the place where the saloon
is desired. have given their con-
sent. Thus those who refused to
vote or to express their sentiment
about the sale of liquor, We're held
to be against saloons
The law governing the sale of
liquor in Alaska is as follows:
Sec. 1913, Compiled Laws Of
Alaska: That before any license
is granted. as provided in this act
in relation to intoxicating liquor it

across the Chatanika river, on the
road from that place to the Tolovana
camp, and after they had formally
dedicated it and celebrated its COM

evidently a great disappointment to
the people of that hustling commun-

over the meeting. He invited unlimited
discussion on the suggestions which We're
made last Monday and made it clear
that everything adopted by the meeting
will be only in the form of recommended
tions to the governing bodies of the diff
ferent sports with the hope that in the
near future the organizations would rec
ognize one another's rulings until they
could establish an alliance
1t was unanimously agreed that an
amateur sportsman is one who engages
in sport solely for the pleasure and
physical, mental, moral and social bene-
fits he derives therefrom and to whom
sport is nothing more than an avocation.

Praise for America.

London, April 15.--Sir Gilbert
Parker at a meeting of the Pilgrims
to-day paid warm tribute to the
United States for the attitude it has
maintained during the war. He said:
Never has neutral nation such
as the United States faced such con-
ditions with a temperatures, cour-
tesy and moderation for which this
country cannot be too grateful.
'"The American government has
followed the only course possible to
a nation desirous Of proving its de-
servedly high reputation in the field
OF diplomacy. 1t has been in true
sympathy with the high-min indedness
and sensible idealism Of the Ameri-
can people in regard to the great
events OF the worlds history. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that all the
combatants in this great war desire
at least Americas good opinion"
