POLICE TAKE RAP
AT COMPLAINERS;
ASK COOPERATION

According to Chief OF Police
Hatcher, the county and city Off
cials have been vlctimized by wide
spread criticism of their methods In
dealing with bootlegging, the dis
covery of moonshine stills and In
other ways curbing a number of al
legged vices. In answer to these
charges, Chief Hatcher has prepared
the following statement in which he
suggests that complainants give
more aid and less criticism to the
police.
As Officers of the Law, Are We
Wrongly Criticized In Neglect
OF Duty?
We hear a great deal of criticism
about the county and city officers Of
Jackson county for not doing their
duty in not making search for stills
and booze. and In not curbIng other
vices, and the arrest Of the drunks,
which is all easier SAID than done
But do the Anti-Saloon league or the
Christian people make the proper
effort to help the officers in the en-
forcement of law and order? Have
any of the complainants ever lost an
hours sleep at any Of the many
places where they could go and find
out for the officers who was selling
the moonshine, or who was making
It?
We are wondering how many OF
the so-called good" people know
that organized outlawry has sued
the local officials for doing their
duty? Do they know that Deputy
Sheriff Mcmahon has had to defend
himself for personal suits brought
against him for official acts done in
performance Of his official duty?
Said suits putting them and him to
quite a lot of expense and worry, all
OF which helps to weaken II not to
paralyze their arm when they should
or do try to enforce the restraining
law passed to curb iniquity, which
formerly was legallzed, but is now q
crime.
II the Anti-Saloon league. is the
church in action, and we have beer
told 1t is, why does IL not come tC
the help Of the said sued officials
Perhaps the local Anti-Saloon league
Is asleep at the switch, or more prob
ably It is moribund.
If the fault finders would turn thu
light of criticism on themselves they
would find 1t is their duty as mucl
as the Officers to enforce the law
II not I'm person, then in helping th'
officials in enforcing the laws, no
o2y laws ar,sing as a accAsequence o
the prohibition amendments, bu
laws against selling or giving ciga
rettes and tobacco to minors
crime we fear is committed by to,
many of our so-called respectable
business men. and committed by
number OF our sO-called "bette
class" Of minors. Is this neglec
or failure on the part of many, /
not all OF our citizens, due to tn,
fact that to do their duties as citi
zens, they are afraid, not withou
cause, that they will hurt their busi
ness? There is no doubt but tina
the social order needs a cleaning
but it cannot be done until the bet
ter citizens make an organized eff
fort to do the cleaning. We, as of
ficers, need and ask for said help
Will we get it?

ington, four thousand miles away, and there has been lack of definite pol icy on the part of the federal authori- ties in dealing with Alaska.
 Alaska now is asking congress for passage of the Alaska Development Board bill, which would give the ter ritory more powers of self-govern- ment, more jurisdiction over it's re- sources and their development, and, in short, the same opportunities to ex- pand that were accorded to the other western territories in years past.
 The kind of assistance Alaska is now asking from congress and the government of the United States, it Is argued, is nothing short of justice to the territory, and it involves no i'm pairment of the principles of govern ment in this country. It has been fav- ored by many members of both par ties in congress, and by federal off cials who have investigated conditions In Alaska.
 The entire country is interested in Alaska. The old lure of territory with vast, undeveloped resources is still alive in the United States. Aside from the question of justice to the people now in that territory, any move that would benefit the local con- ditions there would mean a call to many in the states and particularly to the young men. And the highest de- velopment of Alaskan resources would mean additional revenue and an in crease in wealth for the whole coun- try.-Kansas City Star

Among the new figures in con- gress is Daniel A. Sutherland, of the territory of Alaska, who comes to Washington with a mes- sage which may we'll attract the attention of this nation. It is 6 story of the grievous oppression of people. It is filled with tales of shocking injustice, of bureau cratic stupidity and of down right governmental dishonesty and it tells of the processes em. ployed in an effort to stunt and stifle and finally wipe out brave and hardy people by depriving them of their means of liveli- eAood,
 It is a story which should at tract instant attention in @ coun- try which professes to be ex- ceedingly interested in the rights of small countries-tsince it is the story of our abuse, mismanage- ment and robbery of the people of Alaska. a.-Dearborn Independent.

ALASKA CLAIMS ATTENTION

The development of new territory has been large part of American en- terprise. Settling the land, bringing the soil under cultivation, building homes, digging the mines, construct ing highways and railroads, founding cities and pushing them forward in growth, have been the most common activities of people in the states.
 The single portion of this great work that lured the largest number of people and furnished the best H. Iustration of American ability to make a new land habitable was the opening up of the west in the middle fifty years of the last century.
 Yn recent years it has often been said, with tone of apparent regret, that no other west remains for the enterprise and adventure of the Amer ican people. This is true only to a certain extent. For all practical pur- poses, another west, not as difficult of approach as was the west of seven ty-five years ago, now invites the American people to it's development. It is not as big as the once new west, but it is twice as large as the original thirteen states; it's resources are i'm mense and varied, and the climate of much of it is temperate and bracing. This new west, frequently spoken of but hardly known so far as develop ment is concerned, is Alaska, terri torial part of the union.
 1t is just bit difficult to explain why this country, with all it's attrac, tiveness and possibilities, now has a population of less than fifty-five thous. and, nearly half of which is composed of natives. Perhaps it is because at the time of the "gold rush" of a few years ago, travel to Alaska was beset with difficulties; because, to many, v the venture was highly unprofitable, and because at that time living condi. tions in the country were far differ. ent from the present. It is true, also, that wartime conditions led many to leave Alaska, and that gold mining in the last few years has been less prof ftable, because of labor conditions, than working in the states But the population of the country ten years ago was about sixty-five thousand.
 In addition to these fact and to the fact that knowledge about Alaska's climate and resources is not general, there are government restrictions which have made the investment of effort and capital in the country ap- pear unprofitable. These restrictions, the governor of the territory asserts in his recent annual report, have been made by government at Wash
