SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
: IN FINAL FIGHT WITH LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Job-World by

IN the early stages Of the fight for
Il national prohibition the states OF the
south took the lead and have main
tanned 1t in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in O death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun-
try.
Az section the south was the first
TO clear itself Of the stain of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
in giving Its moral and financial sup
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country have
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
lea with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January l6.
And now the south is called upon 10
take the lead in the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign under the direc-
ton of Il. Y. Clarke, OF Atlanta which
comes as a logical and absolutely nee
essary result of the enactment OF pro-
hibition laws, both state and national,
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"FInish the job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
ish the job has become the slogan
and the watchword OF those in charge
CT the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country, The speed and ef.
iectiyeness with which this work Ia
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent Of the CO
operation of those who have made
possible the results already achieved
The placing Of the prohibition laws
nd measures for their enforcement
.lpon the statute books by no means
finished the Job. There is still vast
amount Of work to be done before
he liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat
ed out OF business, 1t is making de
ermined effort to come back, and Ii

orcement Campaign to see that II
DOESN'T come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment

cause Of prohibition has triumphed ;

Even the most casual reader OF the
news OF the day realizes that Prohibi.
ton has Its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic is waging at the polls,
In the courts and in the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight In its history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that is necessary Is a
glance around you. Reports are com.
ing daily of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous concoctions sold
under the guise of corn whisky, and
the activities Of the so-called blind.

the history of the country as at the
present time.
Eiihu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
is sought and Is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev-
cry means in their power to make Pro
hibition a by.word and to make con.
dittons under Prohibition so intolera-

ment so notorious that the people viii
become disgusted with the situation
and demand return to the licensed
saloon.
1t is the plan and purpose of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, In
so far as America is concerned, to &C.
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
! and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro
hibition forces now will turn their at
tention to legislation against tobacco
tea and coffee.
4 No War On Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash n
Broyles, chief justice Of the Georgia
Court Of Appeals, says:
The agitation as to prohibition Of
! tobacco is camouf1age to handicap the
enforcement Of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the Of

Mccormack Strongly
 Urged to Run for
 Territorial Senator

JUNEAU (Monday) The Re- publicans of Juneau are eXerting efforts to induce Hon. P. c. Me- Cormack of Wraneell to file for Republican candidate for senator. When MT. Mccormack was here a few weeks ago an effort was made to get him to enter the race, but at that time he positively de- clined. On Saturday he arrived here again on business. As soon as it was learned that he was in the city his friends began calling on him to again urge him to file for candidate for senator. He still contends that he does not wish to run, but his many friends here believe that before he re- turns to Wrangell he will be pre- vailed upon to file as the senator ial candidate from the First Divi- sion. The general impression here among leading Republicans is that the senator to be elected this year should come from the southern end of the division, and the sentiment seems crystallized in favor of Mccormack.

Another Attempt at Quarantine

Another wild effort at quaran- tine originatedat Ketchikan when Dr. Story sent message to Cap tain Bob McGilivray of the City of Seattle after she left Juneau directing him to proceed at once to Port Townsend for quarantine, making no calls at any ports southbound.
 The captain at once got busy by wireless, as he could not enter British waters without clearing from Ketchikan or some other port. The captain realized that the orders were about as ridicu- lous as those he had on his last voyage when he was forbidden by Ketchikan authorities to take on any passengers at Wrangell or let any through passengers come ashore here.
 Captain McGilivray, when seen by the Sentinel reporter this morning, stated that he spent over S100 yesterday in wireless messages trying to straighten out the matter. At 4 o'clock this morning he received a message from V. A. Peterson, the Pacific steamship agent at Ketchikan, advising him that the Seattle office of the company had direc- ted him to make the usual calls on the trip southbound as usual. He had already passed up Sitka, taking no passengers on board at that port. He had also passed Petersburg, but when the mes- sage came he put back to Peters, burg.
 Yesterday L. c. Berg of the Ripley Fish company undertook by cable to get the Ketchikan authorities to permit the Seattle to call at Petersburg for the pur- pose of taking on fish that could not be held without a heavy loss. Failing to get his request granted MT. Berg shipped his fish on gas boats to Ketchikan at an expense of over $400.
 Quarantining steamships seems to appeal to Dr. Story's sense of humor. but men like L. c. Berg and others who have to pay out cold cash in consequence are un- able to see the joke.
 The aftermaths of Dr. Story's latest quarantine" will be watched with interest.

 From Problems Facing
 a Stricken World," by
 Frank Comerford. First
 of the series will appear
 in next weeks issue.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-02-12
Important Editorial
 Announcement

Next week the Sentinel will begin the publication of the most important and timely series of articles ever released.
 Problems Facing a Strciken World' is the title of this epochal series in which Frank Comerford, the author, is going to tell the readers a great many things they are very anxious to know.
 Problems now confronting the world are more serious than those of war.
 The blood of America and the Allied Nations was given without stint that democracy might not perish. The peril was not re- moved with the signing of the Armistice. Today it is not dem- ocracy alone which is threatened but the entire fabric of civiliza- ton. Do you read the cables from Europe with proper under standing? Do you know the real significance of events in the old world?
 Is America steeped in indiffer- ence or are we so engrossed in money-making. our workers and population in general so bent up- on having a good time, that we cannot see the signs and portents? If so, our saturnalia may be a Belshazzar's feast or a sort of Roman holiday.
 Ask anyone engaged in cater ing to popular taste, amusement or qualification. He will tell you that the public today demands the most expensive apparel, the highest priced and least whole some of foods, the lightest and most frivolous forms of diver sion-the latter spiced with as much viciousness as the authori- ties will permit, wink at or con- hive at, all this while the World is a smoldering volcano.
 Do you think that General Tasker H. Bliss, one of our high est military authorities, was in- dulging in idle terms when he said a short while ago that a new war threatens Europe? Do you think that when Lloyd George and the other allied leaders rushed to Paris for that hastily conference they were impelled by a desire for a picnic and the opportunity to taste French wines?
 The emergency is greater than any man can portray and it is time the thoughts of the Ameri- can people were directed toward it.
 Read this Epochal Series by Comerford, who went to Europe and made an exhaustive study es. pecially for this service. Learn from first hand information gleaned by a talented student of world affairs, just what is doing. Know in terms as simple as a child's primer just what is Bol- shevism; what Germany is doing; what the French think of us and about Japan and Siberia.
 The Comerford articles are copyrighted. Last week when they were syndicated we made application by cable for the right to publish them in the Sentinel. We paid the price and secured the articles. They are truly a remarkable series, and we are confident that our subscribers and friends will read them with in- terest and profit.
