Recent Election Not Conclusive

10 ths E4itor o. ths 6vsntw0 Pyblto kedesr:,
Sir-.R Regardless OF the talks OF land
slides," regardless Of the. great vic.
tory which the "wets" claim to have
achieved, regardless Of what the Anti.
Saloon League may say In explanation
|of the recent election. two great facts
are clearly apparent 70 those IN touch
IL that great portion Of the qualified
electors did not even 10 to the polls to
cnst their ballot. In many municipal.
ties O minority Of the voters expressed
their convictions at the polls.
Several reasons are given tor this
neglect to perform plain duty Of citi-
xenship. One, and the best Of those
assigned for failure to cast q ballot, is
that few, II any, Of the candidates were
absolutely pledged to carry out 1OO
per cent program for law enforcement.
Without law enforcement this nation
must perish. Too long have we per.
mitted certain elements to do as they
wished with the law. Judges who have
failed most miserably to uphold the
majesty Of the law; prosecutors VINO
have lain down on their jobs, consta: !:
hles and detectives who care little aboue
the enforcement OF law honestly and
impartially have for some years past
been nightmare to good, conscientious
American citizens.
This condition Of affairs must cease,
and It will not cease until some OF the
judges, prosecutors. constables and De.
tectives are themselves landed in states
prison, for their o6ense II far sreatef
than that Of the ordinary law breaker.
The second important reason that
tens Of thousands failed to cast 9 bal.
lot this year. with a so.called wet
and ''dry" issue on, is because
prominent men Of both parties are reap.
Ing i'll. gotten gains from violation o.
the eighteenth amendment; are, in fact,
traitors to the Constitution Of the
United States.
Sooner or later. unless one or the
other great party comes out for 100 pei
cent law enforcement Of all laws. q
third party, composed Of the best men
and women Of both parties, and tn!
great mass Of independent voters, Wal

Of the old parties. 7. y. y.

F,vors sslsetIvs Service Law

TO the Editor of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-At the beginning Of the war to
preserve the American Union, back In
1861, Congress was not In session when
1t became necessary to raise troops and
take steps to prevent the national
capital being cut of and besieged. r.
is far cry from. these days to think
Of our great civil upheaval, but the
lesson impaired then has its same
History tells us that President Lin.
coin found 1t necessary--and he had
the courage--to 80 beyond the Con:
stitution and to "usurp" dtctatorial
powers in order to meet the emergency.
lie pledged money he called for volun.
teers, nnd-so inadequate were the
War Department facilities for takine
care Of the emergency--he ordered the
Treasury Department to organize and
equip the army.
Fortunately the Confederate States
were not yet organised and had no
army with which to. take advantage OF
the confusion into which we had fallen:
In the World War the Allies held
laws and we gradually organised our
national defense.
A curious series Of fortunate circum.
stances in the past has attended our
going to war. Our lack Of foresight
has resulted In every case in appalling
losses, but never In national disaster.
In 1912 Britain was engaged in the life.
and death grapple with Napoleon, yet
she was able to burn Washington and
to in6ict humiliating defeats on our
land forces. In the Mexican War we
had weak antagonist, and success
came to us inevitably. Similarly. in

Why Only Eighteenth Amendment


To tho Editor Of tho Evsnino Public Leiosr:

That whenever tho officials in Office
desire to do so they can amend this

The Supreme Court has declared the
Eighteenth Amendment constitutional,
hut why should "R. D." pay any at.
tention to that? Evidently "R. b." be.

"Where Ignorance Is bliss tits folly to

not "R. H." have left us nlone In our

 FAVOR ANCHORAGE BANK
Anchorage Times.)


 The only large lawsuit tried since the town of Anchorage has been in existence was the case of Conroy, trustee. versus the Bank of Anchor age. This case crew out of the fact that the bank had advanced the Matanuska Coal Company the sum of $17, 900. The company was ad- indicated bankrupt Within four months after it had repaid the bank, and the trustee in bankruptcy M. J. Conroy, through the action of some of the creditors of the defunct Matanuska Coal Company, brough suit against the bank to recover the sum received, with interest and costs, which would amount to total of approximately $25.300.
 The case was tried by jury, after the District Court, Judge Brown presiding, had overrWed the banks motion to dismiss the com plaint and a verdict was renderd for the trustee.
 The bank appealed the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. and this morning the following wire was received;
 Bank of Anchorage vs. M. J. COnroy, reversed, with direction to dismiss action. Opinion forwarded.
