HARDING MUST VISIT ALASKA

President Harding will be warmly welcomed if he visits the Pacific coast during the summer or fall, but he will miss the most important part of his western jaunt if he fails to make trip to Alaska.
 Washington dispatches today an nouce the discussion of a western jaunt later in the year The presi- dents friends are warmly urging him to make it and he is disposed to acquiesce in their desire if he can find time from his official duties at Washington.
 Doubt is expressed, however, whether he will be able to continue on to Alaska because of the press of business.
 Urgent representations should be made to MT. Harding as to the need for personal visit to the northland early in his administration. If the matter is presented to his attention ill the right light he will not consent to cut short his tour at the coast.
 Alaska is one among the three or four big problems of his administra- tioni
 His first term will be the critical period in the territory's affairs. If it is to progress as it's resources justify, he must pave the way for develop ment
 Alaska also constitutes perhaps the most dazzling opportunity of the ad- ministration!
 Here is virgin country, awaiting the impulse of constructive Ameri- can genius to develop as the great American west did during an earlier era in the nations history.
 MT. Harding knows the history of the great domain from which he went to the national capital, first as sen- ator and later as president.
 It would not require much to inn press upon him the wonderful oppor- tunity confronting one in position to duplicate in Alaska, within the con- pass of four years, as great a deyel- opment of American civilization as the Mississippi valley witnessed in four decades.

oVERZEALoUs GUARDIANS

If the efforts of overzealous would. be guardians of the public morals are to succeed i5l their fullness, this land of America soon will be so morally manicured and aureoIed that old-fash. toned normal folk will be glad to die.
 Every legislature is cIuttered with bills designed to assist us to condi- tion of unnatural and uncomfortable righteousness. Not only are we to be looked after in the matters of food and drink, as a prelude to enforced Sabbath observance, but in cur week. day comings in and goings out we are to be made secure from the assaults of the devil and his numerous capable assistants.
 Among the latest horrendous and demoralizing influences from which we are to be saved" by the desciples of reforms is the movie show
 Indiana, for instance, has been at- tempting to have passed drastic reg ulation censorship bill which, if it be. came law, would make the movies about as attractive as an old-fashioned church fair.
 This bill-and the same sort is being put in evidence in a number of states-lOok to the creation of new boards which would have the power to insult the public intelligence by the Appointment of deputies with the auth ority of constables, who could close theatres at will These commissions could fix fees to suit themselves, milk the public treasury of multiply ing appropriations, could pass on pie ture-making rules and regulations that doubtless would prove to be as weird as their unhealthy imaginations or the equality of their personal interest could make them.
 The public has had about all the freak reform legislation that it is go- ing to stand. These wild-idea folk themselves are in need of a censor ship which will convince them that men and women generally are not lacking in virtue and decency, and tha. their resistance to harmful influences requires no help from salaried snoops and legalized mentors in the matter of picture shows or anything else. The principle of censorship is not more popular in America than in Rus sia and the public will insist upon it's right to decide as to what is and what is not good in the movie world.
 The last straw on the back of over- strained forbearance is to be found in the Indiana bill, which would censor s4 movie advertisil;g.-Ci En- Quirer

HAVE TAKEN REFUGE IN
THE HILLS, is BELIEF

Little Rock, Ark. Dec. 9,-Tom
Slaughter, considered among the
most daring desperadoes in the his
tory of the southwest, is at liberty
tonight after directing most
spectacular escape in the early
morning hours from the Arkansas
state prison, which he ruled like
a Gear" for five hours. Slaughter
summoned a guard, feigning i'll
ness, and when offered an extra
blanket to warm him in his death
cell, he covered the guard with q
gun, disarmed him, then canvassed
the prison, disarming and falling
the guards as he met them. Before
leaving the prison Slaughter went
to the adjacent home of the war
den and aroused him from his bed,
and forced the warden and his
family to return to the prison
where they were also locked in the
cells.
1t was believed Slaughter and
the white man and four of the five
negroes who escaped under his
leadership are in the wild hills OF
Saline county, thirty miles west OF
here. The fifth negro is believed
to be dead, killed, officers say,
by Slaughter or one OF the men
with him, after being wounded in
a gun battle staged in the main
street of Benton, Saline county
seat early today.
Many posses are In pursuit OF
the fugitives.
The car in which the men es-
capped was found thirteen miles
north of Benton, where the ban
dts abandoned it when stopped by
an open ditch
Investigations Of Slaughter's
possession of the gun which made
the escape possible have been be-
gun by Warden Dempsey. the
state penitentiary commission ana
the governor. Herman Vezollie,
trusty guard, is in the death cell,
pending developments.
Officials of the state attorney
generals office tonight said
Slaughter will forfeit his right to
appeal from the death sentence
now hanging over him If he does
not surrender before January II
or is not recaptured before then.
Slaughter was convicted of muir
der in Jefferson circuit cout son No
vember II and his date of eXecu-
ton set for December is.
