Prohibition and Politics.
(New York Evening Post.
in the end

It would be peculiar if prohibition having been adopted a non-partisan measure, should become a political issue. This would be reversing the normal order of procedure. hint of this possibility is given by Mark Sullivan in his despatch yesterday in which he says: The Republican leaders are go generally in favor of strict enforcement that it may be taken practically a fundamental part of the Republicn party program Whatever doubts Pree- dent Harding may have had regarding his position upon prohibition have evidently been dspelled He called the Governors together to ask for their CO., operation in the enforcement of the Eighteneth Amendment and the Volstead law and he is recalling end Republicans who keep their fingers upon the public pulse have difficulty in deciding for en- forcement.
 Are the Democrats leaning the other way? It was Democratic Governor Rtchie of Maryland who supplied the exception rule at the recent conference Of the Governors with President Iardng Gov kltchie reported that Maryland was unfavor- able 10 enforcement and there Democratic leaders Who count him among the Presidential possibilities Ter 1924 Tt is fact however, observes Mr. Sullivan, that these leaders believe also that the policy Of the Democratic party in 1924 should be
 dry. There we have it. The Republicans are beginning to look upon enforcement as fundamental article In their creed and the Democrats are begin hihg to think that enforcement is good Democratic doctrine. In 1920 the Republicans avoided commit ting themselves upon prohibition and the Democrats voted down prohibition plank and then reflected a plank favorng beer and wine Why the tendency to abandon this supposedly safe attitude? Obviously because 1t is no longer safe The country is showing now II feels, and it is poor politician who feels inherently from his country. If prohibition enters party politics, 1t will be to line up both of the old parties in favor of enforcement

Petty Larieny.

 In the face of the depredations which inc Indians nave already suffered and the policy organized ex- termination which has been directed against them rom the beginning the iniquity contemplated bv tho Bursum bfll--the dspossession of the Pueblos-s relatively small matter The Puebos are hut tho fragment of a people If the bill becomes law and they be dispossessed, they will all die in a short tune, and that will be the end of it. But because the matter is such small one, perhaps it may be re- disgrace. That is the way we feel about if at least II we must feel utterly ashamed our Government oI our citizenship, let it least be for cause that ranks little higher in the scale of responsibility than ahopifting or body snaching. If our fellow c- 2ehs Wish to overlook, to condone even to conn tenahce, their Governments attitude towards those hlgher more decorous, and richly rewarded models of robbery that comprised in the cate gorles or lmperialism-well that in a sense ncr- haps another matter. They will agree with us at least that there is such thing as becoming declasse and that II the Government be devoid of integrity II should nor lose caste by getting down to petty larceny Under the circumstances therefore wa do not hesitate to advise readers to write to their Congressman in emphatic terms concerning the pur peso of the Bursum bill There is no need of dwell cnly vague and uncertain notion of ethics and cannot De depended upon 10 show emotion when tho subject IS mentoned--but simply make it clear that when great and powerful nation reaches the level of robbng hen roosts or ilchng pennies from the trust Ing hand of childhood it depend on hearing from lis citizens.

HELPING OTHERS HELP THEMSELVES

Because Henry Ford does not believe in the giving ef money it does not necessarily follow that is not charitable. As he views it. the giving of gratuites is really not a sign Of charity but of a twofod weakness-hrst on the part of the giyer and second of the recipient. While there are of course, cases where money relieves insantaneouay pressing wants it is used in many instances unwisey and is handi- cap rather than a real aid
 There isn't much room for argument as to who is the real beneactor the who helps others without any reciprocal co-ordinatye the part of the beneficiary the individual who helps others to help themselves The latter is really doing the most good :n the world. To devote ones time energy talents and money to providing others with sef-sns- anlng jobs whereby they placed beyond the need CT graiultes is to play worthy part in the affairs oi men and nations. He who docs so without being acuated by motives of self-proft is justly entitled 10 the confidence and friendship of his fellow man

JUNEAU IN THE LEAD.

The comparative strength of this community among tie other towns of the Territory never better CT more clearly established than in the report of school tax collections for 1922 recently made public by the Territorial Treasurer. The leeal contributions of school taxes for last year were almost 25 per cent larger than that Of any other Alaskan community and much 100 per cent. in excess of some Of the towns claiming to be equal in population to Juneau
 In the First Division, Juneau, with $370O in col lections, led Ketchkan by s2,100, the latter com munity dropping from $3.1o0 paid in 1921 to $1600 in 1922. Of course the population of Ketchikan has net decreased anything like much the decreased collections would indicate It is questionable if the First City" has lost any in population. This community instead of showing declining tax roll actually bettered 1921 figures by about $400 This is sufficient those who have pretended to zee a falling off in the local population in 1922. The town has lost few in actual numbers and the read- ness with wh h the school paid is merely further confirmation of he story told by bank state and postal receipts to the effect that Juneau is still the best town in the Territory.
 Another fact is strikngly set forth by the Treas urer's staement-that is the proportion of revenue received from the coastal sections as compared to the interior and far north From Anchorage Broad Pass on the main line of the Alaska Railroad about $500 collected in school taxes. The great bulk of the Third Division school tax receipts from is fisheries and mines developed the CT in districts immediately contiguous thereto. The entire Second Division contributed less by almost $1 900 than the town of Juneau did and the receipts from all of the Fourth Division but $500 than local receipts. The disparity of from other sources than the school is just as striking The First and Third Divisions between them producing virtually all of the expended by the Territory. The money derived from industries located in these divisions is being expended equally, nearly 50, in all the divisions and will continue be the present of Territorial government and It's unjust system of representation in the Territorial Legislature is continued This is the potent argument that can be advanced for a division of the Territory. There certain portions of Alaska suffi- eient1y developed to be sefsupportng they cannot sustain themselves and also provide for the necessities of the sections where development is backward

new Congress convenes in regular session next De- eember.
 Commenting the case. which is taken seriously by those making the fight, Crooker said:
 There are three ways in which Lodge can
 be forced to prove his right to his seat in the
 United States Senate One is before the
 Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections,
 end asked for a hearing there. Another
 is through a resolution of the Senate. The
 third is before the courts. We prepared

 Notwithstanding the fact that crooker is counsel for candidate who had no show whatever. the serious nature of the charges makes entities him 10 fair hearing It is also due Senator Lodge that he be given an opportunity to clear himself from these charges which seek impugn his right to hold his seat in the Senate. It is his interest and to that Of the party in power facilitate the hearing which should be held early as possible.
