The daily Alaska citizen., 1919-08-16

It Is one thing to enact legislation which will prevent anybody from enriChing hnnselt by persuading somebody else to become drunken sOt. 1t is quite another thing to surround grape juice and tlavoring eNtra(ts with awful penalties and precautions, to lay every mans home open to visit and search to hire thousands of spies to keep watch on the public, and to dcny as the house dryS have attempted to do, the right Of jury trial to men charged with violating court orders un- der the wartime prohibition act. Perhaps the last clause best illustrates the spiritual in toXiCatiOn which has been induced i'll the more ianatcal oi the prohibtionists by the com pleteness of their victory. If it stands, judge 'may summariy try and punish de fendant rcarrcsted under the war act The only possible argument for such a proceeding is that public sentiment is so strongly against the rigid enforcement of prohibition that jury would not convict. Ii such is the case prOhlbltOn amendment or no amendment IS already a lost cause
 The truth probably is that the majority of Americans are convinced that the liquor traffic has been a bad thing. Not quite so many think the sale OI beer and light wine bad thing, and it is probable that If the adVo Cates of these drinks had been wise enough to separate their cause from that of the heavy liquors they might have saved them. But now that the prohibition amendment has been passed they want to see 1t enforced just as rigidly as it can be without interfering with the legitimate right of citizens. If they are compelled to choose between having the law made a dead letter and having 1t enforced by the outrageous measures proposed by a few of the prohibition fanatics they will take the former alternative. For the sake of tenn perance and for the sake of the law itself the friends of prohibition ought to halt this ex- travagant campaign before it is too late. If the sale of liquor is stopped as we'll as it's manufacture for use other than as medicine or in the sacrament, the evil of drinking will pass away. It is not worth while to fill the country with spies and oppress it with des- potc judges i'll order to prevent a few drink addCtS behind locked doors from swallowing last melancholy drop or two.

James C. Coleman, for two years cashier of the telegraph office here. has returned to the states from Eu. rope and is now stationed in Seattle. The wire received last evening in forming friend here that he had returned to America did not state whether or not he was still in the army but, in all probability, he has received his discharge as the war department is fast releasing all of fiCers.
 When stationed here Coleman he' the rank of sergeant but was pro noted to a first lieutenancy when war between America and Germany broke out and ordered Outside i'm. mediately.

HI JOHNSON'S SPEAKING TOUR

According to the reports, Hiram Johnson had perfectly lovely time on his speaking tour against the League of Nations. Every
 where he went he succeeded in getting large nation. He did this partly with his personali
 audience and to moving 1t to tears and lndlg
 ty. It is the same personality which stood him in such good stead when he made his famous automobile campaign against the Southern Pacific machine in California; and which won so many votes for the progressive party in 1912, Johnson has a great capacity for indignation and for invective. Not so expert a phrase maker as Colonel Roosevelt
 he is adept in seizing upon the strong language that the common man likes. He plays upon his audiences as upon a harnonca, and he never addresses gathering Ot common peO- pie anywhere without carrying 1t with him. He would not be so successful perhaps, before the National Geographic Society or the Bar Association, but that is nothing against him.
 In his current campaign Johnson has been making an appeal almost ridCulously Illogical
 yet based upon entirely legitimate and even pralseworthy popular prepossessions. He has insisted, for example, that the league might compel Us to send our boys to take part in wars in which we had no interest. Of course the audience applauds his denunCiation of such a project. He has declared that the Pa cific coast will never submit if the league says Japanese labnrers shall be admitted. The au
 dience howls approval. He has said that he takes his stand with old-fashioned American ism, with Washington, with Lincoln, and with Theodore Roosevelt So does the audience
 He has denounced foreign tyranny and exalt- ed democracy, and the audience naturally likes that, too. The impression seems to have been made that these arguments and demonstra-
