JUNEAU. Sept, s-"The newspa- ae~s of Alaska are the ideal means of reaching the public in Alaska, stated Mrs EHa Alexander Boolc to the con Yeuuon of the W. |. T. |. at Juneau ,he other day
 The statement was made during a discussion relative to securing the services of 8 man lecturer to travel along the coast os Alaska in the in ,e~ests of prohibition Several oi the delegates were in favor of securing the lecturer and during the discus sion Mrs Boole asked leave to ad- dress the convention.
 II have made 8 trip along the coast ot Alaska and find that the newspapers Of this section are the only means of reaching the people. " she said. Recently I visited Cordo- "a and although l was there a week [ did nor reach 30 people by personal contact People in Alaska do not urn out 10 hear a lecturer unless per Sonauy interested in the subject un- der discussion. A lecturer might come here and all those interested in ou~ cause would turn out. but those against Us. or indifferent would not and efforts would be wasted.
 ri you have something 10 say 10 the public. use the newspapers In New York We daa't buy nine o'clock edition at noon. nor do We buy 5he noon editions at five o'clock. They are old. Bur in Alaska the papers are read by everyone and are sometimes saved for days and days just for some certain article. n many cases where one family take a paper. asFer the editions have been read they are passed on 70 other antilles and sometimes es many as fire families read the same paper. This ls especially rrae in the mining camps and while a paper may be only printing a certain number of copies. asou, Ten times as many people see and read the papers as there are subscribers
 And another thing iu connection with the papers. the Alaskan peo pte dour @usc glance al the headlines and throw The paper away They read every word in them. from edt -eria,s ,e advertising and fl you are thinking e spending money for a lecturer. don't do f. Spend the same amount for space in your Alaskan daily papers and you will accomplish many times the amount of good with -le same amount Of money.

THE KNOCKERS.

Superintendent Forbes adds another clincher
TO the evidence that Hawaii is being damaged
In Washington by the persistent "knocking
of individuals who answer perfectly to the
somewhat vulgar description of "soreheads. y
The chances are that If George Washington
or Abraham Lincoln were in Hawaii and men
toned for public office, q lot of chaps reeking
with disappointment and soured sentiment
would rush on mass OF letters telling every
body from the president to the doorkeepers
that Washington was atthief and Lincoln an
incompetent nineompoop, and that anyway
neither of them was a good party man.
The president and HIS cabinet officers are
heartily tired of it; thp department officials
are tired of Il; Hawaii also is tired of it.
The most cheering fact is that the chronic
kickers are beginning TO defeat themselves.
The more they howl ard the wilder they rave,
the more their grievances are discounted. 1t
is we'll sometimes to Yet them blow off steam
here at home so that the people of the territory
can size them up ACCURATELY and ignore them
accordingly. ri r..

Berlin also holds that morally the sinking of
the Lusitania was justified by the British
blockade Of commerce.
With such reasoning no neutral nation, least
of all the leading neutral nation could agree
without at once agreeing to the thoroughly bad
doctrine that in warfare the policy of repriSal
justfes any measure whatever.
NorzwouId Germany hold to such doctrine,
we believe. except "a it gives the Teutons pos
sible lever to attack the British blockade Ger
many's attitude all along has been that the
United States should make a more vigorous
protest to the Allies than has been made, and
by this attitude Germany has given the impress
sion that she will trade an apology for the Lusi
tania for action by America which will amel-
iorate the blockade.
The presidents lateh speeches indicate that
he realizes, as the country realizes the futIity
IF continual noteexchanges When the first
Lllsitania notes were written, the United States
believed that their emphatic tone meant either
speedy compliance by Germany or a break in
relations. Now the people of this country do
1ot know what our notes mean-whether ac-
ton or merely diplomatic conversations. And
when the people of democracy do not know
what the governments means by its utterances,
hey cannot be expected to keep on giving
Shole-hearted support. to those utterances.
The German government perhaps is begin
hing to understand more fully the position of
America, which has probably been made clearer

American people. Indemnity is not wanted by

.rnment is assumptions of responsibility and

AGAINST TAX RATE INCREASE

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: II would seem thar ne action
of our tax gatherers in atstraCt.ng or
threatening to abstract certain
amounts OF salaries from delinquent
taXpaying city and county employees
has had the desired effect, and the
Golfers OF the city have benefited to
a certain extent This move is to be
commended, for be it known that the
man who pays his taxes when they
are due. and on an honest return. en-
joys nothing more than seeing the man
who is attempting to sneak out of it
get his.
There are rumblings now Of an in
creased tax rate. That there should
be no increase in the present tax rate
can be made cleIr to anybody who will
take the trouble to look into the rec
ord of living taxpayers. That record
will show the amounts now paid by
men of large affairs to run between
the ridiculous and the sublime
Paying taxes through a corporation
in which one may he heavily interest
ed is no excuse for not paying taxes
on some palatial home in the city's
suburbs.

Shortly after the, war broke out, Germans and
ierman sympathizers in the United States be-
gan to complain that tile Associated Press
wasn't treating the TeuteiI cause fairly, and
here we're even insinuatiQns that this news
agency was under Allied influence. That the
fermans have reached a different conclusion
lfter experiences of a year and half with AS
ociated Press war news is indicated by the
oIlowing statement. 1t was made recently by
)r. c. j. Hexamer of PHILADELPHIA, president
# the National German American Alliance:

THE HEARST PRESS FIGHTING BOOZE

i Whatever may be the opinion concerning
William Randolph Hearst or the ''yellowness'
of has papers, the power and influence Of the
Hearst press must be acknowledged.
The entire Hearst press has just thrown out
liquor advertising and declared itself ION the
side of the fight against booze Mr. Hearst
himself sets forth the new viewpoint in a letter
to his editors in which he makes it plainIthat he
is against the evils bred by liquor He made
it plain that the fight the Hearst press Has lone
made in its news columns is now extended te.
the advertising columns
Results from the new Hearst polfdy were
quick in coming, Anti Saloon league branches
and good government associations in all parts
OF the country passed resolutions or wrote let
tiers commencing the crusade, and. on tile Other
hand, the liquor associations voiced their anger
and fear. In San Francisco the Knights Of the
Royal Arch an association of liquor men, calico
meeting to denounce the San Francisco Elk
aminer. Upon this the Examiner commented
1.-The Examiner hopes that every person il
San Francisco in favor of drunkenness and the
drug evil will attend this meeting and de-
nonnce the Examiner. The Examiner will con.
slider it compliment to be denounced by sucl
people. This paper does not want the support
OF people who believe in drunkenness and the
drug evil
Every day that passes sees new force added
to the army fighting the Booze Business.
