Proof That America Is Land of Opportunity
Columbus, O., Dispatch. )

Columbus, O., Dispatch.)
 America land of opportunity for street wafs, orphans and foundngs recalled by the recent death in Sitka, Alaska, of John G. Brady for Governor of that Territory, and the fact that when child young Brady had been taken from an almshouse and placed in the custody of the Childrens Aid Society of New York, which educated him and placed him the road to fame and fortune.
 Hundreds of other similar to ex-Governor Bradys it is said could be cited by the organization which for than half a century has been taking homeless boys and girls off city streets and sending them to farms in the west where they grew up to be lfreliant trustworthy and honored citizens. tain delicacy surrounds the publication of the of the noted of these former waifs, but the port of the Children's Aid society for 1918 shows the following harvest of Careers up to date
 One Governor of State one Governor of Terri tory (John G. Brady of Aaska), two members of Con- two district attorneys, two sherifs two mayors
 justice of the Supreme Court, Federal Judge, four State Judges two college professors high school principals, two school superintendents, auditor general of State, nine members of State Legsla- tures 24 clergymen cashier of life insurance company, two artists Senate clerk, six railroad of- fcials IS journalists, 34 bankers, 19 physicians, 35 lawyers, postmasters, three contractors 97 teach ers four civil engineers 'and number of other business and professional men, clerks, mechanics farmers and their wives and others who have acquired property and filled positions of honor and trust"
 Among the American forces sent overseas, it is pointed out in the report, are 12 commissioned off cers and about 1000 soldiers and sailors who were once wards of the Childrens Aid society. All were rescued from the streets from aeyums and correc- tive institutions.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

The discovery of full fledged whiskey distillery outfit Juneau suggests phases of prohibition law violation that are particularly pernicious.
 People who make intoxicating liquor in Alaska, or
 import it, for sale at profit do it knowing that they are violating the law It is premeditated and ma lcious lawlessness. It is morally wrong we'll as legally wrong
 While The Empire believes absolutely in law en- forcement under all circumstances it recognizes that there is vast difference, morally, between those who may have sold intoxicating liquor of which they came into lawful possession under justfabe circum- stances, and those who deliberately make it CT quire it for the very purpose of selling it in vio lation of law
 man of national prominence, actively engaged in the campaign to make the United States dry, told the writer less than that it is not in keep ing with the American idea of fair play that law should be passed that would make it so man could go to bed at night law-abding citizen and awaken in the morning a criminal. Under the prohibition law that was passed for Alaska a man had legal 31, 1917. If he had liquor in his possession Janu- ary l, 1918, he criminal. Under that law a man with saloon and license was authorized to engage in the saloon business up to the instant the clock began to strike the hour of 12 When the last note of the hour was struck he was not permitted to have any liquor on hand. No man could run a saloon without liquor to sell. It absurd to make saloon man guilty of crime because he could innate down to the last glass the amount he could sell within specified time,-or that he was guilty if his sales did not meet his expectations And it is not fair to any to conscate goods that were chased and paid for under the law the of selling within the law in a lawful business
 The Alaska prohibition law should have given ii-
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-01-30

quor dealers some time after the prohibition went into effect in which to send their surplus stock out of the Territory, and into wet territory It did not do that Therefore of fair play would tolerate certain of liberality in the enforcement o the law long surplus stocks were on hand
 But this does not apply to the man who iald Ill
 large stock of goods to hold until after the pro hibition went into effect and then to sell it con trary to law, does it apply to any liquor that came into Alaska since January 1, 1918 nor to H. ouor made in the Territory since that tme
 It has been than a year since the prohibition law became effective in this Territory Within year the whole nation will be dry. Thirsty souls will have get alone with their thirsts best they can before long, and they had well submit to the in evitable now, with good grace. But, matter what the demand, the illicit liquor traffic should be sup pressed in Alaska.
 And, in saying this, The Empire has no idea of criticisng the officials of the Territory. They have earnest, faithful and vigant, and the law has generally speaking been well enforced But the force has not been sufficiently numerous have the funds at their command been large enough to permit them always to be effective they have tried to be.

COVERING UP UGLY FACTS.

 The White Book was to have been complia'ion M of official documents and records showing eXactly what mart the former Kaisers Government LOOK in beginning the war, and, if honestly made' would have been an invaluable thing. The world alreaoy knows that the Potsdam gang willed the war anu provoked it, but the German people nave never 'e' been told tn truth and the whole truth
 For fife good of their souls and for the sake or an assurance that they will never dream agaln oi monarchy on the old lines of government that White Book ought to be published. It would De no more than just to require the German Government to oman oil of inc records to an Allied commission for the purpose of making a White Book and giving It to the German people to read.

 Now that the is over, Alaska wants do It wants to afford to every returned American soldier field of activity and endeavor. It in vites the soldiers to and partake of it's great riches. It wants them to come here crowned with grants Of opportunity to acquire wealth. It wants them to to Alaska armed with rights and priv ileges granted by grateful people to acquire home steads and mines and to become rich and powerful
 Alaska wants to pay the Nations debt And it can do so if our Government at Washington will seize the opportunity which its last great undeveoped empire affords, to create wealth. This wealth lies in its untouched mountain ranges, in it's allu- vial valleys in it's undeveloped mines its unexpored oil lands its great cattle and sheep ranges it's rich and fertile farm lands.

 Of course it is none of our busi- ness. But we have often wondered how a thin, helpless girl manages to keep her skirt on without the aid of suspenders.

 Appearances are deceitful. It often happens that the Gentle Dove you ious Wild Cat.

 Another reason why a girl hates to get fat is because she thinks it must be unpleasant to wear your knees where your ankles should be.
