PROHIBITION HAS MADE GOOD

Is it possible to face life's realities without a shock absorber?
 That, says Dr. Wood Hutchinson in Hearst s International Magazine, remains the most fun damental problem of the alcohol habit. After two years trial prohibition has made good. The death rate has fallen off, tuberculosis has lessened, there has been a striking improve ment in feeding, clothing and general com fort of school children there have been fewer strikes, many jails have been emptied and in some instances closed for lack of "pattrongae. y And on the medical side has been noted falling off in the number of cases of acute alcoholism received at the hospitals, and of alcoholic in sanity at public asylums. Delirium tremens has diminished more than 80 per cent. Con- trary to gloomy predictions before prohibit tion, the use of drugs and narcotics has not increased And further statements from sev- era1 large employers of labor show that there are fewer accidents in the mills and factories and a dminution in the amount of valuable raw material wasted or spoiled. Also there has been an increase in bank deposits.
 With all this checked up to prohibitions credit Dr. Hutchinson points out that in the final analysis the whole matter comes down to whether or not we can face the trials of life without alcohols cancellations and illusions. And though he believes we can, he says the answer is still open.

decisions. It is submitted that no such scheme has ever provided satisfactory appellate trib- unal. The trial judge does not like to have his decisions reversed He is apt to feel peeved at the court of appeals for looking at the law of case from different angle than his own. A good trial judge also does not necessarily make good appellate judge. The two work in essentially different fields of labor. It is probably true that the amount of business now before the Alaska courts would not furnish sufficient appeals to justify the creation of a purely appellate court It is also true that the attempt to create such court along the lines of the proposed bill would probably result in greater number of dissatisfied litigants than there are at present. The great cost of appeals as taken at present might be considerably linn ited by revision of the rules of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The new bill does not at tempt to do this but continues the present rules in effect for the guidance of the pro- posed Alaska Supreme Court. This is a fatal defect in the bill. The present appellate pro- cedure is archaic, difficult, and unnecessarily complex It would not be hard to simplify the system Let the lawyers and the courts get together and work along these lines and some thing constructive might be accomplished which would materially lessen the cost of ap- peaIs and to that degree aid deserving liti- gants and promote the regular and efficient administration of justice.

A SUPREME COURT FOR ALASKA

The proposed Supreme Court for Alaska
 which has been provided for in bill prepared by Valdez attorney, and introduced in the House by Delegate Sutherland to many peo- pie seems to be an attempt to accomplish a laudable object with insufficient material. It is true, as the proponents of the measure ar que, that Supreme Court in Alaska would re duce the costs of appeals It is not true, how eyer, that the opposition to the bill IS fathered by the big companies operating in the north and their attorneys. Such accusations are a descent into demagoguery and do nothing to help in arriving at reasonable understand ing of the situation There are serious objec- tions to the measure, as framed, from strict ly legal standpoint. In the first place it would not be a real appellate tribunal. It provides for a court of appeals consisting of chief justice and three associate justices, to be com posed of the present four district judges in Alaska, any three of whom would constitute a quorum, provided "That the judge who pre- sided at the trial of cause in the court be- low shall not sit at the hearing on the same case on appeal.' The trouble with this is that the appellate judges are all trial judges. There
 would be a tendency to considerable judicial courtesy and comity in sitting on each other s
