ALL QUIET IN
 CIVIC CIRCLES
City Council at Regular Session Does Little Other Than Pay
 Honest Debts

With all the street work and pub lie Improvements for the year com ploted. there was but little business before the city council at its regular meeting Monday night aside from the payment of the regular monthly bills and a few others. some of the latter being for special night watch men who were placed on duty dur ing the recent heavy blows, the mayor and members of the council very properly taking that step as a prccaution against fire. Douglas is fortunate in possessing what is probably the most efficient volun- tecr fire department in Alaska and the equipment necessary for that de- partmcnt's use. There is little dan ger Of a fire. if discovered in the in- cipient stage, making any headway, and it is for the purpose of seeing that no hcadway is made that special fire wardcns are used by the city in times of the terrible winds that frc- qucntly visit the Channl when Old Bory has the country in his relent- less grip.
 The seats of Councilmon A. olson and Leo Young were vacant the former being at work and the latter not being in town.

GREAT SINGER COMING
 HERE IN FEBRUARY

Mile. Alice Verlet, one of the worlds greatest prima donas, is to give recital at the Orpheum theatre during the latter part of February. Verlet is a Belgian and widely known in Europe, having come to America just recently on account of the war. On the continent she is conceded to be probably the worlds greatest color aura soprano and the people of Flag staff will have an opportunity to dis cover for themselves whether or not she merits such phrases as "The voice of the century," "The new Queen of Song," "A phenomenon of the vocal ists' world today" and others similar ly extravagant. It is said that Mile. Verlet has had more favorable press notices than the majority of the worlds great singers. It seems that in England, Belgium, Germany, France, and Italy, she is equally favorite. One of the Lon don papers, writing of concert she gave there said, Her manner of sur mounting the difficult runs and turns that embellish Verdi's magnificent aria was remarkable for its ease anC brilliance. Such was the enthusiasm which greeted the singers efforts that she was compelled to respond with Tostoi's Goodbye Nor was thi' her only encore, for after giving Yer dis 'Caro nome, which she sang witl an exquisite delicacy, surpassing any thing we have heard heretofore, sh' was recalled many times and compel led to sing again"
 It seems that the Flagstaff recita is to be private and invitations vii be issued as soon as the date is de finitely set.
 It matters not that the recital i for the purpose of advertising cer tain phonograph. If MT. Edisol wishes to spend some of his million in allowing Flagstaff to hear a grea opera singer, we have no complaint t offer.
 Verlet is assisted by Arthur Walsh we'll known young American violin ist, and the party is able to stop of in Flagstaff, passing through on tn way to give recitals on the coast.

Liquor Traffic Gigantic Waste
Morris Sheppard United States Senator For Texas

The liquor trafiic Is a permanent
menace to the nation.
1t Is the distribution for profit Of a
habit-producing drug In LIQUID form,
seductive poison that breaks down
the vital processes OF the body, de-
stroys the capacity to resist diseases.
undermines intelligence. strength and
health, impairs the moral sense, com
poses the chief source OF poverty, in
sanity, feeblemindedness. sickness,
crime. and transmits an hereditary
faint that seriously handicaps poster
ity.
1t is the enemy of virtue. honor.
manhood, all that life holds sacred
all that life holds true.
It IL diverting from productive
channels a sum approximating $780,
100000 every year. representing an
evergrowing proportion OF the earn
ings of the people, n sum which
would otherwise be used in building
and improving homes. in providing
for substantial needs such as clothing,
food, shoes, other comforts and neces-
stiles. for education, for benevolent
undertakings Of all kinds.
1t Is time for the nation to act
when more money Is being spent
every year for Intoxicating liquors
than for bread or for clothes
men will vote against 1t, speak against
II, pray against It, and then hold out
their trembling hands for the glass
that damns.
Surely It Is a shortsighted states
manship that would permit $2,500.-
900, 900 to be worse than wasted each
year in the production of misery and
vice and shame In order that the gov
eminent might obtain a revenue of
1920, 100000.
II this republic cannot live without
the dirty dollars II obtains from the
liquor traffic. dollars stained with the
tears of women and children. 1t ought
not to live.
There are legitimate sources of
revenue yet untouched. There are
few direct taxes on luxuries.
The income tax has little more
than scratched the surface of enor-
nous wealth.
There Is no Federal inheritance tax.
alcoholic beverages are untaxed.
The national domain, with measure
less mineral resources. water powers,
forests and the like. could be managed
go as to produce a yearly usufruct Of
$50, 000,0 900 or 500, 100000.
Opponents of the national prohibi-
ton amendment assert that the Amer
