MAKING GOOD WITHOUT LIQUOR

Prior to and Immediately after The
taking of effect of the statewide pro
hibition law there were people ir
Florida who expressed the view thai
1T couldn't be DONE" that to remove
every inducement and facility for the
sale or purchase Of liquor, for bev
erage purposes, would bring about Q
calamity. After months of doing
without liquor the predicted calamity
has not come upon the people. On
the contrary, what was promised as
disaster has proved, in actually, to
be blessing to all the people, even
those who were sternly and unquali.
fiedly opposed to stopping the liquor
traffic by legal enactment
This is true not only with reference
to Florida but in every other state
from which liquor has been banished.
With the going out Of liquor better
health, better business and improved
all-around conditions have come in,
and come in to stay For it is not
likely that the people would indicate
even a preference to return to liquor
traffic days. They have learned and
are continuing to learn that it is en-
tirely possible to get along, and well
at that, without the liquor traffic,
without a popular beverage that adj
dies human brains, brings deprivation
and suffering to families and impover-
ishment Of ability of mind and hands.
They have learned by seeing i'm

kETcHikAN HAS ORDINANCE ON SALE OF RADICAL
 SEATTLE PUBLICATIONS

Ketchikan has an ordinance which prohibits the sale of seditious ltera ture in that city. Under the authority of this ordinance the municipal gov ernment there had prohibited the sale of the Seattle Union Record, the Forge, Federationist and other radf cal papers. Recently a Committee from the Alaska Labor Union ap peared before the Mayor and Coun cil and asked that the ban on the sale of these publications be raised The matter was left to the Mayor who raised the ban on the Seattle Union Record, but refused to do so as to the other papers.
 The Forge is sold regularly in Ju neau, and in a recent issue 1t de. clared that it is being supported by the Alaska Labor Union. It is a radi cal paper which urges the taking ocer of the industries by those who work in them. and advocates the One Biz t',on. which 1t would have run the country.

JUNEAU BOY If
 TELLS ABOUT
 MINE SWEEPING
M. Anderson Returns From War Work With Amer American Fleet and
 Tells Experiences

NJ. Anderson. from the flagship U. S. s. Black Hawk. .has returned to Juneau, He will go back to his old job at the Alaska Gastineau. Since May, 1917,. Mir. Anderson has been at Kirkwall, Orkney Islands. At that time he, was on the Roanoke. The Roanoke was laying mines between the Orkney Islands and Norway. The line of mines extended 240 miles from the Orkneys to point 22 miles
 north of Bergen.
 Immediately after the mines were
 laid. the Germans began sweeping
 for them but owing to their lack of
 knowledge, concerning the American
 mine patent, their boats were de
 stroyed
 Ten German submarines were de
 stroyed by these mines as well as
 other boats which had not been ac-
 counted for.
 When asked what the U. $. meth
 cd for sweeping the mines was. MT Anderson said: "The T.. s. s. Black
 Hawk belongs to the mine sweeping detachment. We were aboard the
 Black Hawk and a cable 90 yard
 long was extended from our ship to rnother flagship. In the center oi this cable was a kite with electr'; batteries and wires so arranged that when they came in contact with 2 mine. the explosion could be central 'zed by an electric device aboard
 each ship. It was timed so that the explosion would not occur until the boats had moved at least 50 or tt
 wards from the spot whore the bomb were planted. In this way the boat were uniniured. The fact. that the explosion could be controlled by the clever electrical device aboard the ships, had never occurred to the Ger l mans. and in attempting to destroy our mines, they destroyed themselves
 little prematurely.

 pickings in that country to me! an glad to be back to old Alaska wher' everybody shakes hands and talk plain English. I've come back to tn;

The Inter-Allied Commission at Spa

Police Doubt That Child
Was Lured From Playmates

Police are inclined to disbelieve
the theory that Jeanette Herman,
seven-year-old daughter of Carroll
X. Herman, West Fairview, was the
victim of a kidnaper last night, when
she apparently disappeared from
sight for about two hours. Accord
ing to the theory of Chief Wetzel. it
is likely that the man who walked
away with the girl when he met her
and her companions at Sixth and
Forster streets about O'Clock, knew
her and intended taking her home.
According to word received last
night he accompanied her only
about a block and she reached her
home about 1890 o'clock, after her
father had come to Harrisburg to
search for her.
