the word "seihsh" written into the flag
we hold SO dear. The world must see that
We really do believe in the United States
OF America as government of the people,
by the people, for the people, whose just
powers are derived from the consent of
the governed democracy in a republic;
a sovereign nation of many sovereign
states; perfect union, one and INSOFAR
able, established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes. | therefore be-
lieve it is my duty to my country to love
it, to support its constitution, to obey its
laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies and the best way to
fulfill the American ideals contained in
the Americans Greed is to stand up and
be counted for God in helping to kill the
liquor traffic in the world.
As we impose our faith in our country,
the world must see diminishing minor
ity. In referendum elections the victor
ious ma orities have often been small
Even i'll Ohio, which has been the real
battle ground the drys won by 100000.
Eight hundred thousand (nearly mil
lion) registered their votes for the wet
side.
Upon this question of law observance
and law enforcement the world must see
in the United States Of America our gov
eminent in action with a solid following
of all patriots. In bringing this about
there is no room for feelings of hatred or
malice. The spirit of Lincoln contains
lesson for us today i'll this regard. On
the last morning of his wonderful life his
son, Robert handed him at the breakfast
table a picture of General Lee The
President took it in his hand and, looking
intently upon it, said, That is the face
of noble man." In his great inaugural
address he said, eve are not enemies but
friends, we must not be enemies"
The minority must be depleted by add
ing to the majority frcm the minority un-
til our country stands fer law We must
establish faith in our own country's policy
by proving that it is poor politics to be
wet, and it is the legislative duty of every
man who takes the oath of office to stand
by the Constitution of the United States
to vote, as Lincoln has we'll said, for such
legislation as is needed to make that con-
stitutional principle effective. We get rid
of notification legislatures when we es-
tablish the principle that it does not pay
politically to be legislatively against the
Constitution of Our country.
1t was great demonstration before the
eyes of the world when, within the last
few weeks the world witnessed the defeat
of Governor Al Smith of New York, who
had steadfastly set his face to carry the
same notification features of his New
York administration into the Capitol at
Washington. A New York newspaper
said, while that convention was in session,

Must See Belief in Law


hibition law as law The greatest hope
for effective enforcement lies in the fact
that the prohibition law has been enacted
IN the regular processes of government
and is now law. 1t has not been Slip
ped over" on anyone. If the liquor peo-
pie did not know that the prohibition
forces were fighting 70 put the saloon out
of business it is not our fault 1t is be-
cause of their own stupidity We even
had as a slogan for quarter of a CEN
fury, The Saloon Must Co." The pro-
h1bition law has been brought about by
campaign against the liquor interests, the
traflc without conscience, by a CAM
paign of more than 100 years, and finally
the law prohibiting the liquor traffic has
been written into the Constitution of the
United States of America, and all this has
been done by an orderly process of gov
eminent. The world must see it en-
forced before it can judge as to its effec-
tiveness. No patriot no friendly coun-
try has right to hnd fault with prohibi-
ton unless they measure it in enforce
ment. 1t is not enough that they see the
law enacted-they must as we'll see it in
action.
One of the great contributions toward
worldwide prohibition that can be made
today is the giving to the world the facts
as to enforcement. We are satisfied that
when prohibition is properly enforced in
the United States of America, the World
League Against Alcoholism will have
been given such an impetus in its work
of converting the different nations of the
world to prohibition that no power can
hold it back from success and the fact
that prohibition is now the law and that
the officers in the wet centers of the coun-
try must now be responsible for that
laws enforcement whether he favors pro-
hibition or not is not minor item in re-
lation to the success of prohibition en-
forcement. The officer who keeps his
oath of office by enforcing this law will
soon be converted to prohibition as pol
icy. He will soon see that no fair
minded man can frst-handed witness the
effects of prohibition without declaring
1t a success.
When | left Chicago couple of months
ago | told my fe1low-workers in confer
ence with them that | would have deemed
it great privilege to have been permitted
to have lived in Chicago long enough to
see the Chicago Tribune ego dry" Some
one answered that that would mean living
in Chicago forever. But in answer to that
I said, and I am sure | am correct that
as soon as prohibition has had fair
chance as to enforcement for period of
time long enough to test it out, that even
the Chicago Tribune would have to say
that Chicago under prohibition is better
than Chicago with its 7,152 saloons and
its 5000 blind tigers that were there to
supplement the saloons in the old saloon
days They must cease to claim to occu-
Ply the field as a newspaper or give to the
public the facts when the demonstration
has been SO conclusively made as it will
be in few years in that c1ty.

lief in our country. Belief in Our country

tomobiles i'll use have been recorded I'M
der prohibition than during any previous
similar period The statistics OF crime,
pauperism and insanity, shows remark
able falling off under prohibition as COM
pared with similar periods under license
and regulation. The ledger of public
charity is significantly marked by the
passing of the legalized liquor traffic.
while improvements n public health the
public peace and the public welfa>e score
heavily on the side Of prohibition.
Even more significant is the contrast
shown in what might we'll be termed a
revival of learning in America" under the
prohibition regime, IS that revival is in
Dictated by the records of the public
schools, the high schools, the technical
institutions the colleges and the univer-
sites.
There are, however, more comrEehen-
siye more Fundamental and more eonclu-
siye facts which tend to snow why Amer
lea was compelled to adopt pro ,bition,
why America must continue prohibition
and why return TO the reign of the liquor
traffic in America Is essentially impossi-
bic.
This, in special sense, is an industrial
and commercial age. The implications
therefore in the transformation which
has taken place during the industrial rev.
olution of the past few years deserve
thoughtful consideration.
Railroad Prohibition
A few years ago, comparatively speak
ing, it was not unusual for newspapers 10
ascribe railroad wrecks to drunken en-
gineers." Railroad lines in America have
increased in fifty years from $1,000 miles
to 100000 miles. Railroad development
of every character has gone forward i'll
America until today twenty billions of
dollars are invested and two million men
are employed at an annual compensation
of three billion dollars. These railroads
carry annually more than two thousand
million tons of freight and more than one
thousand million passengers. Yet with
10000 railroad locomotives being driven
on all lines throughout America, how
many wrecks are today charged to
drunken engineers or drunken train dis
patchers? American railroads will not
employ an engineer who uses intoxicants
either or off duty. This imperative
railroad law carries 4 far greater degree
of punishment than any local, state or
national prohibitory law. Even the iq-
uor interests in America have long since
ceased to defend the personal liberty of
railroad engineers to drink intoxicants.
When American railroads modify their
rules which have stood for quarter OF a
century, SO as to permit engineers, train
dispatchers, and telegraph operators to
use light wine and beer, the American
Congress will doubtless be ready seriously
TO consider the advisability of modifying
the federal prohibitory law

The giant lake freighters, which carry
ore from the great Superior ore districts,
are un1oaded at American lake ports,
whence the ore is transported by trains to
the numerous smelling furnaces of the
United States, which produce more iron
and steel each year than all the rest of
the world. Comparatively a few years
ago, vessels were unloaded by laborers
with shovels and wheelbarrows. The I'M
loading capacity under the old system
was a hundred tons a day. Today cleo
trio machines unload such vessels at the
rate of three thousand tons an hour.
Even greater revolutions than this have
taken place in the electrical equipment of
iron and steel mills.
Under the old system it was possible

 The Chamber of Commerce is coop erating with the ladies in an endeavor to assist them in all ways ossible and it is possible that some time in the near future we shall have "Garden Week" during which the stores and business houses will carry displays and otherwise assist persons desiring to plant gardens. We hope this sum- mer to have some of the gest gardens in Alaska, and the attention this will attract on the part of the visitor will influence to a great extent the pleas ure of his visit in our community.
