In this incessant putrid drizzle in Washington, an outrage must be eX- traordinary to gain public attention and this Alaska salmon outrage IS most extraordinary.
 Were it put upon the stage. its perpetrators would make their exit in a gale of misses for it is more than wrong from every angle and when Secretary Hoover tries to de fend the indefensible he invites the conclusion that he is either utterly ignorant of or utterly indifferent to, the deplorable consequnces of his grant of this salmon fishing monopo- ly.

unanimous finding of the House Con- mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish cries; against all these this compla- cent Cabinet officer stubbornly lodges his own, solitary, majestic will, He granted fishing monopoly which has brought ruin, rottenness and devastation, yet he defends his blunder as if it were some fair-hai- ed darling around whom circled vo- racious wolves.
 The exploitation of this vast sal mon fishery which the American peo- pie intrusted to Herbert Hoovers care, is the repelling tale of brutal monopoly bludgeoning, corrnpting, slaughtering it's way over every hu- man and national right and every sense of decency to it's own sordid goal. ,s
 Yet Secretary Hoover has for these despoilers that tender solicituie which on emight visit upon an or phan in a storm. The right to fish is Natures right; it is one of the oldest rights of man, and up wonder in primitive Alaska, the Indians. the Aleutians and the Eskimos, the wards of this nation fshed in their crude way, as their fathers before them.
 The number of salmon they took out of the waters was negligible. and when the Big Four canning trust look ed over this vast salmon field of the American people and decicded to seize it for themselves they had to offer some pretext, and so they sent lobby to Washington and told Sec retary Hoover, that they wanted a monopoly of the fishing rights ln Alaska in order to conserve the sal mon
 There is something sublime in the passion which the pillager has for the conservation of natural resources. 1 This lobby must have been persua- sive; it's lips must have blossomed with eloQuence like unto that of Pat rick Henry; it's consecrated purpose must have bloomed from sky-blue eyes, for Secretary Hoover straight way gave the lobby all it asked. Secretary Hoover seems to have signed the Big Four's document as eagerly as farmers once signed the notes of lightning rod agents, but there is this difference between the two transactions; the farmer paid 1 for his own folly and the American people pay for MT. Hoover's folly.
 He signed a paper which drove the native away from the waters where he and his fathers had fished and he let the Big Four Trust go after sal mon with traps and evey other known device to take and destroy salmon wholesale. All this in the name of Conservation
 i And he did something else. He said that in the Cook Inlet the Trust could pack 208,OOO cases of salmon, when all they were able to pack with the utmost effort was 88,937 cases. In the interests of conservation, MT.
Seward daily gateway., 1924-05-26

Hoover set the conservation limit at about three times as many salmon as the Trust with all it's fish traps and wholesale methods of slaughter was able to take.
 The Secretary of Commerce has conserved" the salmon of Alaska as the late General Weyler Conserved" the population of Cuba; as forest fire "conserves" timber.
 And this Canning Trust was as vile as it was ruthless; it imported crews of Chinese to handle the salmon and under such conditions that Alaska suffered reign of lawlessness and immortality, the like of which she had never known and the food oi the American people was handled by men whose loathsome affliction with contagious disease made them unfit to be at large. All of this is told in the reports of the grand juries on which sixteen women sat.
 The Big Four is not only a can hing industry; it wholesales and re- tails, and therefore fixes the price which the American citizen shall pay the Canning Trust for the salmon which belong to the American nation.
 The contact which the Canning Lobby procured from Secretary Hoov- CT is not its first victory over our Government Only little while ago this same cluster of privilege seeking stars induced a Government official to give them more for fish supplied to the Government than the Federal Trade Commission said they were en- titled to, but perhaps this trust de- rives its geatest joy from the reflec- tion that during the World War il sold re tue United. States several hundred thousand cases of decom- posed salmon for the use of our soldiers.
 This is the public benefactor whom Mr. Hoover now defends so gallantly against the combined assaults of citizens, grand juries, legislators and the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
 President Coolidge, after hearing the evidence, very properly announc- ed that the salmon slaughter must cease. 4r
 The plain truth about the entire situation in Washington is that this whole Cabinet belongs to a regime that has passed.
 President Coolidge should not be hampered by Cabinet that is out of touch with his ideas and with the sentiments and interests of the pub lie

charge of the courts to know that trafficing In
liquor is criminal offense just the same as
arson and larceny. Often times it is murder
in disguise, and the officials should have all the
powers to stop the traffic that they have to
stop manslaughter and murder.
We are not in favor Of officers, under the
guise Of enforcement, entering where they will
and confiscating anything they want to con-
fiscate, but we believe that where evidence of
crime is found the criminal should be pub
lished and not be permitted to hide behind the
technicalities of statutes which were made to
protect the innocent and not made to aid the
guilty to escape We believe that every one of
these cases should be sent to the highest court
in the state and that this court should be
forced to pass on them. We think that in the
examination Of a number of these cases the
court may find that after all the law is pro-
tective statute for the people as well as for the
man who defiantly violates the law. To hand
back to these fellows confscated liquor that
they may continue in the business of debauch-
ing and killing people was certainly never con-
templated by any sane law.

WHEN IS A BOOTLEGGER?

when is a bootlegger?" This appears to be
a most interesting question to be solved just
at present. The courts have said that boot
logger is bootlegger when the cop, who ar
rests him; happens to have a search warrant.
The fellows with their tongues hanging out,
and with desire to violate the prohibition
amendment, insist that he enteres the boot
logger class when he has liquor to sell and has
a willingness to sell it.
We have no desire to question the integrity
of the courts, but we are inclined to accept the
practical suggestion made by the party of the
second part
The law sometimes is funny and wonderful
to contemplate and more wonderful to under
stand. 1t Is hard for a man lnschooled in the
law to see just how any court can turn back to
bootlegger liquor which has been seized
Prima facia evidence of a crime should be suf-
ticient to punish for a crime no matter how the
evidence is secured. Certainly no court can
hold that because an officer seized liquor with
out having search warrant that the fellow
did not have the liquor. The law says that it is
a punishable offense to have liquor in your
possession and to transport it.
Search warrants are made to protect the in
nocent and not the guilty. The guilty have
just as much reason to be punished as the in
nocent have to protection. Technicalities do
not remove guilt any more than they convict
of crime
Possibly the bootlegger under the law is en-
titled to the protection that the law throws
about him, but there should be a limit to this
protection when he is caught with the goods
Certainly none should suggest that if police
officer found man robbing house he should
hurry away to the. justice court and get a
search warrant before he arrests him. Ger
family no thief could plead in court that fell
low didn't have search warrant

Hhe liquor traffic is to get the men who have

MABEL NoRMAND PROTESTS.

Mabel Normand rises to- protest against pay
ing the penalty Of indiscretion.
We want to be charitable and we do not want
to accuse the young woman of anything that
she was not guilty of. Certainly it is admitted
that she was most indscreet, and Mabel is be-
ginning to find that the people who want to
laugh want to insist that their humor comes to
them wrapped in clean and wholesome pack
age.
People who take the middle of the stage and
expect to hold it must expect to make some
sacrifices in order to keep their place in the
limelight.
Being in the movies has come to be some
thing of public function, and as it is common
with people who have public function, these
people are expected to regulate their lives so
Las not to outrage society.
Public characters may not faunt their indis-
cretions before the public without losing their
place in the sun. Art and morality may not be
closely akin, but just the same the people want
to feel that when they laugh that the smile
comes through clean atmosphere.
We have travelled long on the road to sani-
tation and it is interesting to know that we
are coming to the place that we want to assoc
late clean lives with the public entertainment.
It may be little hard to curtail the frvolities
and indiscretions of these young women, but
they should be willing to accept the curtail-
ment as part of their salaries. These people
are paid royalty for entertaining us and this
pay should be something to keep them going
something like straight.
It's just possible that the average ideal of
indiscretion among the moving picture actress
/ ses is not the same as the old-fashioned ideals
that some of us throw about our women. This
does not, however, prevent these things jarr-
ing ON the public mind. It has not yet been
educated up to the belief that it is the proper
thing for the young woman to visit in the
bedroom of an unattached widower. That is
one of the happy things about the modern
ideals and the modern demands upon great
ness.
The people are beginning to demand that the
people who govern their state and their nation
and people who dictate what they shall laugh
over and what they shall cry over be reason
ably clean. The people are not going to be
prudish, but they are going to be rather more
exacting along these lines in the future than
they have been in the past.
MabeTs pretty lips may pout and she may
protest that the public is unfair, but just the
same the public is going to judge her and the
rest Of her kind by her actions rather than by
her motives.
The public still is of the opinion that the old
saw" actions speak louder than words still
has some merit in it.

MAKE IT A RETROACTIVE RATE.

We are entirely agreeable to the suggestion
Of +be attorrevs for the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric cornpanv that an audit be made OF
their business before any change in rates IS
made. but we believe that the change IN rates
should be retroactive to the time that the ap-
plication for the revision was made We feel
that such an audit will show that the company
should reduce it's rates now, and the people
should not pay the cost OF delay. Inc auolt
of the books of this company should be maze
not with view Of covering up profits but with
a view Of bringing out clearly every detail OF
the business of the company with view OF
convincing the people that the rate established
is one which is fair to the company and to the
people.
We have repeatedly contended that in the
case of dealing with public utility, the people
must render unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars" The company must have fair re-
turn on its investment if it is to render the
kind of service that the people want and are
willing to pay for.
1t is expected that this company will give to
Kenosha people the same rate that is given
to the people in Racine. The company con-
cedes that this is the fair way of dealing.
The audit that is to be made should be con-
Quoted not by the company, but by the railroad
commission and the officials of Racine and
Kenosha should be represented when this audit
is made. The people have right to know just
what any rate finally made is based on, and
they have right to have their representatives
on the job when the rate is determined. 1t
may be that such an audit will show that the
company should have right to demand more
pay for the service the people demand If that
Is the fact the people should accept the answer
in all fairness.
Figures of utility companies have always
been wonderful to maintain and wonderful to
work out, but their must be some scientific
way of finding out gust what this company
makes off of gas and just what rate is fair
rate for the people to pay. If the investigation
is to follow only lines outlined by the company,
and to be governed by figures furnished by the
company without the Investigators digging
deep into the books of the company, the probe
will be of little value.
On account of the fact that such investiga-
tions usually require long time for compile
tion it should be definitely understood now
that the rate to be established will be retro
active rate and effective on the first day of
January this year 1t may be a confusion to
have to figure up rebates or to assess prem
iuns, but this is the fair way to do it.

Your Health
BY DIR. C. C. ROBINSON
NERVOUS SIGNS.

The laws Of health and hygiene pro-
vide for certain signs that show I'M
mistakable evidence Of ones physical
or mental condition. If there is a
greater demand or drain on your body
bodily powers than your system can
stand, warning signs are displayed.
If you find that your sleep is not
restful and you frequently awake at
three or four in the morning, unable
to go to sleep again., check up on your
condition at once.
Do you find yourself becoming sus-
picious of your business associates or
are you beginning to worry over the
future business prospects? Are you
losing your grip, through lack of ex-
ercise? Understand that running
around an Office or factory, keyed up
to high pitch and giving orders to
somebody about something is not ex-
ercise, no matter how leg-worry you
may be at night.
Do you sit in a bad posture or tap
on the desk or table nervously? Your
circulation is probably bad, and your
diet and digestion need attention at
once.
In other words, you are showing
nervous signs from some cause or
other. Taking stock Of your bodily
health is far more important than any
other stock taking.
Don't resort to a dose of medicine
or some dope to bolster you up for
short time. This only puts off the
smash little longer. Don't take slim
'ulants in order to drive your bodily
powers. It's bad business.
Try a rest, If you can possibly get
away. don't mean away from home,
but away from work, worry and hustle.
Rest is wonderfulworking tonic.
Anyone inclined to u nervous con-
dition should not eat meat more than
once day. Use plenty of green vege-
tables, sea-food and milk.
Avoid tea and coffee for a month or
two and mark the results. Consult
your physician on program of re-
Taxation. Learn just what complete
rest means.
Masquerading was forbidden in
France (1535) owing to its abuses.
