are listening to an amazing argument
in this country. an argument that law
is responsible for law violation and
that because prohibition law is violat-
ed it should be modified or repealed!
Our answer TO this not less than
reasonable fallacy is, the Constitution
OF the United States provides way to
repeal amendments as we'll as to enact
them. And to the enemies of prohibi-
ton we say: Come out in the open,
modify or repeal If you can. but OBJ
serve and enforce until you can.
THE governor of the great state of
New York, who has been quoted as
saying of the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act, We do not like
that law is a disquieting figure in
deed when compared with Abraham
Lincoln who declared. Let reverence
for law be breathed by every Ameri-
can mother TO the lisping babe that
prattles at her lap, let IT become the
political religion OF the nation, let
every American, every lover of liberty,
every well-wisher of his posterity
swear by the blood Of the revolution
never to violate in the least particu-
lar the laws of the country and never
to tolerate their violation by others
"The great imperative Of the hour
is q new citizenship conscience with
regard to individual responsibility for
law enforcement and law observance.
Such conscience has its ultimate ex-
preston at the polls"

AL Smith IS seen
A TROUBLESOME man
Church Speaker Calls Governor
"DisquittiHg Figure"

Columbus. Dec. 14.-Goyernor ''Af
Smith of New York was described as
a "disquieting figure" by QRs Daniel
A. Polling of New York, associate
president of the United Society OF
Christian Endeavor. at the evening
session OF the annual meeting of the
executive committee OF the federal
council of churches last night. He
made this statement while compar-
ing the governor OF New York with
Abraham Lincoln and the question of
law observance.
The session was given up to a dis
cussion of christian citizenship with
special reference to the observance of
the eighteenth amendment and the
Nolstead act. DR.. Polling spoke on
''civic grafters." declaring that the
man who fails to vote is TO be more
despised than the corrupt official who
levies tax on a brothcl or takes hush
money from a gambler. His address
was in part as follows.
Suppose that honest citizens gem
orally remain away from the polls on
election day. Why should one man
reserve for himself the privilege of
easy Indifference when Tor his neigh
bor to make the same reservation
would surely bring disaster upon the
homes OF both
The indifferent private citizen who
fails to vote is in the long run a far
greater menace than the official who
levies a tax on a brothel or takes
should be more despised.
Citizens Responsibility

citizenship responsibility has its SUI

Discussion Regarding
 Territorial Division

A gain Is revived the proposal for di- vision of the Territory of Alaska, and it's to be hoped that it will be consid- cred seriously by the people in all parts of the North. Anchorage, to the far westward, and Ketchikan, in the southeast, are in accord, that there should be division. Juneau is of the same opinion, and if anyone in Alaska is opposed to the proposal his voice has has not been heard above the multi tude.
 There is 20 tie between the south east and She westward or Interior that binds. Even in the north and west @ard the average citizen will tell you lhat people living in the Panhandle ara not Alaskans, "real" Alaskans. To majority of them the Territory be- gins at the l4lst degree of longitude That does not apply, of course, when the tax collector starts out, for South eastern Alaska is then very much a part of the Territory. It is only at other@times or during the session of the legislature when they are passing out funds of the Territorial treasury, that the southeastern part mustnot be considered d part of the rest Of tLe Territory
 It is certainly to be hoped that it may be possible to get some action from Congress for the division Of the Territory before the present session comes to an end, although such an out look is not promising now But when the next legislature meets it will do the greatest service yet done by any Alaska legislature if it will memorial ize Congress to divide the Territory.

 The division of the Territory would mean that Southeastern Alaska would have delegate in Congress to repre- sent just this section; that it would have legislature to legislate for an area the interests of which are lden 6ical; that money collected for taxes would be paid out in it's own section, and not thousands of miles away. Ger tainly this is the time, if ever, to se- cure the creation of two territories in- stead Of one.-Ketchikan Chronicle
The Kusko times., 1923-02-14

The Ketehikan Chronicle in re- cent issue, advocates division of the Territory into two territories, aptly stating that the northern and southern parts of Alaska have no ties in com mon. But. the Chronicle ma xes the usual error in believing that the larger part of the taxes are derived from the First division. A comparison of the treasurer report shows that this is the Third division paying more taxes than the First and exporting more natural resources
 The Chronicle is also in error in af- frming that this division receives a larger proportion Of taxes than the First in the matter of appropriations. Practically all Government bureaus are located in the First division, and not only are the federal appropriations largely expended there, but also the Territorial moneys.
 By all means let us have division. the line to be near the l44th degree of longitude. which will leave the BerIng oil fields in this division.

 Those propaeandists of Southeastern Alaska who advocate two territories. consisting of Southeastern Alaska as one and the rest of Alaska as another, appear to Us to show nothiug but a selfish desire to keep what money they pay in taxes right in Southeastern Alaska. That. and that alone, is the principal reason for the agitation, and if this can be accompl plished the rest of the Territory can go to California OF some other warm spot so far as these separatists are concerned. Fortunate ly, they have not the entire disposition of the matter, and while this division propaganda is being broadcasted let us all get in and go the proposition one better. As practically one half uf the Territorial revenue comes from the Third division. why not petition Con- gress tp make a SC parate Territory out Of the Third division. and then we will have our own delegate in Congress. cur own legislature. and the funds of the territorial treasury. and the funds of che territorial treasury will be spent in Che new territory instead of part Of it in the First di.ision -Nalaex Miner

THE LIVING GHOST OF HUGH
GLASS

HUGH GLASS was one of COM
= 4 pany of free trappers who pushed
into the Upper Missouri country near
ly one hundred years ago. One day
with a companion, known to history
only by the name of Bill, Glass came
across a grizzly bear at which both
men fired but failed to inflict mortal
wound.
The bear charged and the two men
fed Glass had almost reached safe
ty when he tripped over a stone and
fell. AS he rose to his feet, the bear
reared up in front Of him and man
and beast went into clinch. Then
followed a terrific combat Of knife
against fang and claw, which ended
only when the man, with his ribs laid
bare and his scalp almost torn off,
sank to the ground unconscious.
Bill, seeing Glass fall, kept on run
ming until he reached the trappers'
camp. The captain of the trapper
band sent him back with a companion
to stay with Glass if he were still
They found the bear dead with 20 gap
ing knife wounds and lying on top of
Glass, who was still breathing family,
Believing that he could not live more
than few minutes, the two men
stripped him Of his hunting shirt and
moccasins and, riding back to camp, re-
ported that they had buried him.
Months later at the trading post
where the trappers had gone with their
beaver packs, man whose face was
so disfgured that there was scarcely
a feature recognizable rode up to Bill.
In a hollow voice this strange APP
partition said to him: Bill, my boy,
you thought l was gone under that
time, did you? Well, hand me over
my horse and gun, my lad. I amt
dead yet by a damn sight!"
1t was Hugh Glass, whom the trap
pers had believed dead and buried for
months.
The tale which Glass told was one of
suffering and human endurance almost
unparalleled in history. He did not
know how long he had remained IN
conscious. For days he lay beside the
carcass of the bear, feeding upon it
until he gained strength. Then with
out a weapon, even so much as a knife,
he crawled away. In spite of the tor
ture of his unhealed wounds and
starvation diet of roots and berries,
his iron will drove him on until he
had reached the fort more than eighty
miles away. Eventually he recovered
and now, as he said, he was slick as
a peeled onion"
He had determined to live for the
sole purpose of having revenge upon
his faithless friend, Bill, who had so
basely deserted him. Bill alInost
dropped dead with terror at the sight
of this living ghost and he contihIed
to live in fear until Glass whose gen.
erosity was as great as his courage,
forgave him and renounced his vew Of
revenge.
