Boat building plants would open up, sales agencies for engines, ship ckandleries, and many other necessi- ties for which the boats now go to Seattle.
 The above statement is we'll worth looking into. If I am correct, you owe it to yourself to strengthen my hands.

Rake, Alaska April 14th, 1923.

Rt. Hon. Sen. Wesley L. Jones, House of Senate,
 Washington, D. c. Honorable Sir:
 Having learned that the White Fishery Bill passed the House of Representatives recently, carrying provision taking both traps and purse seines out of bays and estuar- ies, we the undersigned representing Camp No. 10 of Alaska Native Bro therhood at Rake, Alaska, village of five hundred people, hasten to make appeal to you that the purse seines be stricken from the amend. nent.
 If this is not done, it means the natives throughout this Division will be unable to fish and we face starv~ ation.
 We ask that the fish traps be kept out of narrow bays and channels in the interest of the conservation of fish, as this restriction alone will bring us relief and give us means of making an honorable Livelihood This we ask for the sake of our families and trust it is within your power to help us in our hour of dis may.
 Gratefully yours,

VOLsTEAD INJUNCTIONs.

Judge Woodrough has added to his interpreta-
tive rulings the Vostead act another decision of
utmost Importance. He holds that the section of the
bill providing for injunctions on private homes Is
invalid Congress, the court says, can not invade
the constitution to the extent of denying the right
of trial by jury to anyone accused of crime. If
such provision may be made in connection with one
law, then it may be extended to ALL and that will
put trial by jury in the keeping and at the pleasure
Of congress.
Not so very long ago the judge ruled that search
warrants must be specific and not general The pur-
pose being to prevent invasion of homes merely on
suspicion caprice Another of his rulings is that
such warrants must be served by officers of the court
and not by the specially ordained enforcement off,
GERS or their appointees. These limitations of the
process of visitation and search at least approved
by sound law
Judge Woodrough is criticized by those who
ardently support prohibition for taking the teeth"
out of the Volstead act. What he has done is to
uphold the greater law that which protects the
citizen in his home. One of the weaknesses of all
law is the disposition of mot to obey. These
of course, should be sought out and brought to ac
count. In the doing of that, however, the law
should not become tyrant defeating its very ends
by depressing its victims.
In the case of the Vostead act, it was observed
at the start that its enforcement would be accom-
prophet to that. Efforts to make the law effec-
tive have in number of instances resulted in the
adoption Of unenforceable amendments One of
these that which permitted the closing of homes
by injunction, which process would transfer the
jurisdiction from law to equity, and thus automa-
tically dispense with trial by jury. Judge Wood
| rough says this not be done.
The effect of this, of the other decisions,
should be to make enforcement officers more
viglant. They will necessarily be compelled to
establish facts rather than suspicious Until the law
is met with better spirit than has SO far marked
its progress, its enforcement will be accompanied
by much uncertainty. Bootleggers will ply their
trade as long they have customers. Prohibition
will never be entirely effective until all the citizens
are ready to accept it. Pending that time, the law
will gain strength the nearer it is brought into
harmony with the great body of law that is the basis
of our free institutions

GENTLEMEN, LET US HAVE BRICK.

Good advice to the Douglas county board of COM
missoners is contained in that adjuration of the
good roads committee, "Stop playing horse with
the Lincoln Highway paving"
Years ago, when the big paving project first
taken up for serious consideration public sentiment
in favor of brick for surface material was shown
unmstakably At one time the board was urged
to write the fact into the paving bonds. This was
impracticable There was, however, distinct under
standing that brick should be favored
Much brick has been used in surfacing the Lin
coin Highway out of Omaha. On January /, 1924,
the accounts show $541,3 ,39309 expended this
form of paving on this road This is in accordance
with contract, and in conformity to public opinion.
Why should it be necessary to scheme out
order that the uncompleted stretch of pavement on
the Lincoln Highway be finished with something
other than was intended and contracted for?
The county commissioners well know the senti-
ment of the public. 1t has been plainly expressed at
every opportunity. The matter has been taken into
court, and the result was the Brick was
promised. Brick contracted for. Brick was put
down. Why the effort to switch?
If experiments with other paving materials must
be made, it would be wise to let others make them
Should it become necessary to experiment on
Douglas county taxpayers then let it be on small
scale, and not on the main travelled highways.

best, and are expecting to get what they want The
county board should quit playing horse'

case of Rhode 1sland); and so, after
month of bargaining in the conVen-
tion, the Clinton forces finally agreed
to ratify in exchange for. a long string
Of amendments.
But party spirit did not regard the
contest as closed. The struggle for
the constitution now became the
struggle for control of the electoral
college. the elections for which had
been fixed for the first Wednesday in
January, 1883. It was bitterest in
New York, where the law gave that
office to the legislature. There the
Clinton anti-federalist forces held the
assembly and the federalists the sem
ate. The result was deadlock, the
day passed without a choice, the leg
islature adjourned and New York
paid for its politics by being deprived
of voice in the election of the first
president of the United States.
The electors were not, as in our
day. pledged to any candidate for
president or vice president. Their
choice was free, except that In yot
ing for two persons for these offices
it was required tas it still Isl that one
of them at least should not be an in
habitant Of the same state with them
the constitution was adopted in 1904
the electors did not vote for president
and vice president separately. but
simply for two persons. and OF these
two the one receiving the greatest
number of votes became president
and the other vice president. There
was. therefore, in this first choice Of
electors no electioneering for candi-
dates, the contest turning. Is In that
over the constitution, on the issue
Of federalism and anti-federalism. But
II the electors were unpledged. every
body knew on whom their choice for
president would fall. The only un-
certainty was over the choice for vice
president. and here. indeed. there was
some political intriguing not unwor-
thy Of the art as we know ii today.
The anti-federallsts wanted Clinton
for that place. and during the month
that elapsed between the choice OF
electors and their meeting there were
many ingenious attempts to keep
votes from going TO Adams. The op-
position to Adams pretended to fear
his vote would approach too close to
Washington's. and their concern was
great. The way to avoid that I'M
happy result, they urged. was to vote
for Clinton.
The electors met the first Wednes.
day in February and cast a unanimous
vote for George Washington for presi-
dent. There were 50 votes and Wash
ington received 50. Adams was given

down there, it will be for all time. 1t is doubt
full if protectorate anything of the sort will be
set up, under which the islanders will be permitted
to rely the United States in time of trouble Yet
public sentiment in this land generally favors going
ahead with the experiment commenced under Nc
Kinley, thus bringing the Filipnos to higher plane
of education in government before setting them on
their feet.

Not All Roses in Canada.

Trossachs. Saskatchewan, Canada.
To the Editor of The Omaha Bee,
Noting by the Canadian papers that.
owing to unfavorable economic condi.
tons In the United States, that a
large immigration is expected from
the western central states to Canada
this spring. l am led to submit a
few facts to those who may be led TO
see only one side of economic condi.
tons as they exist here in Canada.
Having lived here since 1905, the
writer has learned of some of the
dark as well as the bright phases of
Canadian conditions and will make
no statements that cannot be proved
by reasonable investigation.
That the soil is fertile and capable
of producing good crops cannot be
held in question. but drouth. hail.
rust. grasshoppers. frost. sawfly and
price failure are often able to prove
the best Of efforts to produce. fail
ure. But the present obstacles most
difficult for the farmers to surmount
are the high direct and indirect taxa
ton imposed and remoteness from
consuming markets. making 1t pos
sible for protected industries and
transportation companies to so re-
duce prices received for commodities
of primary production, that 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to keep clear OF loss
even though the crop is good. and
less than a good crop means a GER
tain loss which will put the producer
behind for several years.
Witho0t doubt one of the most Sc.
rious setbacks received by the Ca
madam farmer was the final rejection
of the reciprocity offer of the United
States and the passage by the United
States of the Fordney tariff bill
which compelled Canadian producers
especially of meat productions-tt
pay duty to the United States or else
high transportation TO far distant
consuming markets which left moth
| ing but bankruptcy for primary pro
ducers.
The same condition exists to a
great extent with all primary pro
ductions, while. at the same time
practically all necessities required In
production have their price fixed In
the United States market. With high
Canadian duty, sale tax. entrance
fees. high transportation and profit,
added. the Canadian farmers find
themselves forced TO take bankrupt
prices for their production and pay
terribly high prices for the necessitiei
used in such production. hence arr
