Evening Jacketed for June

NEW YORK, June 8.
VIZ HEN the nation goes on its
w vacation, nine men in ten
will fetch along the Tuxedo
suit, instead Of the swallowtail.
The tenth man will probably wish
he had taken his cue from the
other nine. This is not because
the Tuxedo suit is more correct
it isn't-but because Americans
have an unaccountable distaste for
dressing up" of an evening. Such
an attitude is in no wise credit
able to us. There is a sharp line
of demarcation between formality
and informality in evening clothes
and the best-dressed men are
punctilious about respecting it.
A formal affair used to be any
function at which women were
present. 1t has been modified to
mean any function which women

ALASKA THE LAND OF BRIGHTNESS

Old Sol smiles brightest in Alaska. Mo- where does the sunshine seem so clear and fine and of such ife-giving power. At this season. with snow still on the ground, it pre- ages the close approach of the ideal season when nature puts on her summer robes of beauty, when even the worms of the earth re- ioice, when trees and streams become "ser- 7nons'' and all creation responds to the jubi- ant spirit of life At that time, in these parts, at the hour of midnight tic "Bob' Taylor joke becomes reality-the stranger, bchod- ing the shining orb in the sky, cannot tell who her 'ts the sun or the moon, each is so bright and glorious.

WHAT FOOLS SOME MoRTALs BE!

John Barleycorn, alias the Rum Demon, has learned what it means to defy public opinion. For fifty years he misbehaved >atrocionsly under the license system. He abused privileges which he regarded as rights, although warned in effect by Supreme Court decisions that he had no rights which the people were bound to respect The abuses continued until, at the first opportunity, and as a measure of safety, tie people ordered the liqdcr business to get off the earth.
 It was the same crystallized and concentrat- ed moral conviction which brought about the abolition of chattel slavery, even at the ex- pense of war.
 The mad liquor forces now engaged m .'fighting' Uncle Sam. are inviting their total and irremcdiable destruction. 'Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.'
 Plans for "floating palaces of Bacchus, ' built at a cost of millions, to be anchored just off the three-mile limit, are but one lllustra- ton of the lack of brains on the part ot the commercial element that bindly would chal- lenge the Constitution. If they had competent legal counsel, the first consideration would be the Government $ present claim to Jursd1cton over twelve miles off shore instead of three; and in case of need, by treaty arrangement, the Government, which is practically all-pow- erful, can acquire control off shore for ooo miles or more to abate any nuisance or piracy which threatens America.
 Let no group of men, however large and strong imagine itself able to defy the Constr tuition, for, as Jackson declared, Git must be and shall be preserved.'
 One might wish intelligenty for modlt1- cation of total prohibition, but, being good citizen, he would hold a stronger desire for the enforcement of the Constitution. When that great bill of rights becomes a football for com mercial pirates, by consent of the people gen pra]v it will be time for another constitutional convention and the complete mobilization of inc moral and creative forces of Amerlca. The iouor business, commercially, IS doomed in our country of splendid ideals. Booze will be made, and many persons Will drink it.-on the sly. It never again Will be commercialized. however, by consent or the people and under forms of law. Any etfor' 10 overcome the Constitution, especially on this issue, is just as futile and foolish as tue effort of Mrs. Burlington to sweep back the sea with a broom.- It requires tltantlc moral forces, all combined in action, to budge the lofty mountain which we call the Constitution. If is eternal, if any creation of mortal man can be so. It is the best assurance "that gov ernment of the people, by the people and TOT the people shall not perish from the eaftl''

FRANKLIN, ONE OF THE KINGS O. MEN

Benjamin Franklin will be the honored guest (subiect of discussion) at a meeting of the Cordova Literary Club tonight. He is one of the greatest history makers in the annals of time. He passed on 132 years ago-the space of two lifetimes-but the impress of his genius remains in American affairs, second only to that of Alexander Hamilton. Only a few weeks ago an honored direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin passed away in Astoria, Oregon. The family is by no means extinct. Though poor in material wealth, this Astoria lady and her family cherished above all things their heritage of honor from the immortal phil osopher and on this account were recognized as of the elite in society,"
 Franklins schooling ended when he was ten years old The forces of first class intellect compelled him to get an education. He was the Edison of his day, though not in the Wiz ards class as an inventor. Franklin surmised or suspected the powers of electricity. His adventure with the kite was an experiment to prove his theory.
