LET EVERYBODY "ToTE" TAIR
Douglas Island News)

It is reported that there is movement foot at Juneau and elsewhere in Southeastern Alaska to request the Territorial authorities cancel all liquor licenses in this district the last day of the present month and refund to the licensees the money covering the period up Co the first of next July to which date the licenses were issued. According to this papers idea of right and justice the reported movement is out of place and its carrying would work hard ship on many who have practically all their capital invested in the liquor business and who, according co the law governing the late election given to understand that they would be accorded than they certainly entitled to protection of their in- terests. Also. the people voted the subject with that same understanding and having voted. they are content to await the due process of law.
 On the other hand it is argued that a certain element engaged in the liquor industry and know ted to carry their industry, will endeavor make a killing" between and the time the law shuts them up, by Fioating all the laws governing their business. This argument is sound for the reason that the law of the land will take care of all such violations It must be admitted. however that there censed and who nothing for the law long they not detected in it's violation. They are here and in Juneau and in every other place where liquor is licensed to be sold These are the fellows to watch and they will be watched. On their actions now and until the expiration of their licenses will which will be held early in the summer to determine whether not they will continue in the business l during the latter half of next year.
 To all lawabding licensees this paper is in fa | vor of extending every right and privilege embodied in the Territorial act which provided for the late cleo tiOn of the liquor question, to permitting them to remain in business until the end of December next year We believe in protecting property interests so long those interests protect themselves by comply ing with the laws regulating them, but no further

THE CHURCH AND ITS cvILIzING INFLUENCES

Did you go to church on Sunday? Well, if you did you no doubt profed by what you heard, if your mind was in a receptive mood; for though churches may differ in their enets and split hairs dogma. their influence for the betterment of humanity is. and always has been. farreaching. The Christian religion ia the oldest religion by any means. but that it must be best is amply demonstrated by the numbers Of its adherents and the further fact that has been the great force behind that civilization and progress which have been dominating forces in the world for nearly thouSand years. And this does not mean that progress was unknown and civ ilizaton a myth before the advent of Christianity; great nations nourished and decayed before Christ taught the doctrine of the Golden Rule indeed Con- fucius preached it and Buddha exemplifed it. and others gave utterance to many other great religious ard moral truths; and though the Christian religion wss a product of the mystic East. it St. Paul who imbued it with the spirit Of the Occident to wEich may be ascribed it's spread among the western nations of the world. and the marvellous influence it has since exerted and the part it has played in what may be called modern history.

Abilene Grade School Pupils

Supt. w. A. Stacey of the city
schools has sent form questionable

seventh and eighth grades to deter.

mer work under the direction OF
an Instructor where they could
make some money as well as gain
some practical knowledge in gar
dening, manual training, cooking,
sewing and agriculture. Mr.. Stacey
Is doing this in order to span over
the three summer months for the
pupil who is not educationally in
clined, with some profitable and
beneficial work and this need will
no doubt be filled in Abilene If a
sufficient number of boys and
girls, DESTROYS of the work, warrant
the necessary expense. The sending
Of these inquiries to the pupils is
only preliminary step. The board
of education may take definite ac-
ton later.
Such summer work has been sue
cessfully given in Manhattan and
other Kansas towns. Manhattan boys
and girls have fine jolly time ev-
cry summer farming 26 acres, the
girls taking agriculture as well as
the boys. AS contemplated two in
structors, man for the boys and a
woman for the girls, would be hir-
ed by the board of education. For
the boys there would be simple |
training work at the high |
school shop, gardening or agricul-
ture on some available tract and /
play ground athletics, while the
girls could take cooking and sew

Americans Betrayed 10 Their Death

government was fooled and betrayed
by the Carranza government. He ac-
cepted the assurances of Carranza's
generals, and the result was the mas
sacre of American citizens
How many more murders, how
many massacres must occur before
the administration will grasp the fact
that Americans are safe in Mexico
only under American guns.
The British government is stirred
over the danger to its nationals in
Mexico. It is asking the United
States what il proposes to do. It has
a right TO ask the question The
United States is responsible for the
safety of Britons. Germans, Span
iards. Italians, Frenchmen, Japanese.
Chinese and al other aliens in Mex
leo. As matters are going. some for
eign nation is likely to bring the
United States to book and force it TO
do for foreigners what it refuses to
do for its own citizens.
The blood of more than 200 Amerl-
cans murdered i'm Mexico cries fof ac-
ton. The United States cannot ex-
pect to preserve its rights against
European aggression If il submits to
the massacre of its citizens in Mexico
without other action-than an appeal
to one set of bandits to curb another
set. II this nation lacks courage to
protect its citizens, the world viii
soon find it out, and life and property
of Americans will not be safe any
where.
The delay in avenging the death OF
the slaughtered Americans and the
evident desire to avoid any action that
would deter Mexican bandits from
further murders are directly contrary
to the overwhelming sentiment and
wish of the public in the end the
people will have their way.

PROTECTION OF THE INNOCENT.

DBREAPS the newest thing relative TO the OF n-
prints for the identification OF criminals is the
fact that tho system has just been adopted by the
lice Department OF Wilmington.
Il has been in in China for thousands OF years
Progressive Occidental cities have used It many de-
csdes. Its value has been recognized generally.
So far as own city is affected, the surprising
thing is not that the system has been adopted but that
Wilmington has been far behind other American
cities in recognizing and avang itself the benefits
to society which flow from its use
The Bertillon system Of identification has been in
use here for some time The photographng of crmi-
nails also has been resorted to limited extent Now
fnger-printing has been added other words there
is full equipment for the building up OF what is
known as rogues gallery
We suggest at this time that the police exercise
proper discretion in that line OF work Their actvi-
ties should restricted by proper rules based upon
the experience in other cities. Il should be borne
in mind that a seemingly inevitable accompaniment OF
police activity is the of many innocent men,
women and children Certainly there should be some
rule which will protect that against the measur
ing "mugging" and hnger-prntng activities OF the po-
lice. Mere suspicion should not be the warrant Of
the police for putting the measurements, the photo
graph the nnger prints OF suspect in the rogues
gallery There should be something stronger than that
to warrant such action.
It may be said that innocents who have been ar
rested. measured "mugged" and printed may obtain
ample relief by having their measurements, photos
and finger prints removed from the request gallery
That is all right far It goes but it does avail
Experience in other cities has shown that the police
in their eagerness to keep their gallery intact
duplicate sets and that with gallery within a gall
iery they nufy that protection to the innocents and
their relatives and friends.
Certainly the Police Commissioners and the courts
should impose upon the police reasonable restrictions
for the protection OF prisoners Who in the eyes Of the
law. presumed to be innocent until they have been
shown TO be guilty.

EIihu Root on True Preparedness
lIrom the New Nork Sun.l

There are, unha, lily, considerable
number of citizens Of the United States
who through mental lethargy or illogical
reasoning conceive the liberties to the
enjoyment of which they were born to be
so securely fixed that their withdrawal
or suppression is impossible There are
other citizens to whom it does not occur
that the political and social freedom
they have inherited from the founders
of the republic is the perishable achieve
ment of men, and not the fruit of the
operation of natural laws. These citi-
zens accept their blessings as the in
alienable gift of heaven and give no
thought to the responsibilities they en-
tail. Yet those responsibilities consti-
tute the most serious obligation of citi-
zenship, and the preservation of the
principle from which they issue is the
supreme duty of patriotism.
To these misguided persons the ad-
dress of Elihu Root before the State Bar
Association should serve as primer in
political instruction. With the spirit of
detachment and breadth of view that
characterize Mr.. Roots treatment of
public questions he counselled his audi
tors, and through them all who will
read. to devote themselves not merely to
the Improvement Of the opportunities
that are theirs. but with equal serious
ness to the defence of the. principles
from which these opportunities flow.
There is no hint of overstatement OF
oratorical exaggeration in Mr.. Roots
impressive words:
"Here in this country VIC haye en-
