THE MITCHELL FARCE

The conviction of Colonel Mitchell of breach of discipline in criticising the nations air service is no surprise to those who have followed the case from it's inception. Colonel Mitchell was found guilty on eight counts and will be removed from command of any kind for five years. This is unfor- tunate for the nation, as the Colonel was chiefly guilty of two things which is not tolerated among the higher Army officials-brains and initiation. There is no doubt but that Colonel Mitchell knows whereof he speaks. He has spent many hours in the air as flying officer, and has familiarized himself with aviation needs while in command of flying field.
 In case the findings of the court are upheld by the President and the incompetent Secretary of War Weeks, there will be an upheaval against the military branch of the nation in the minds of the public generally. If the heads of the Army had kept pace with the enlisted personnel the nation to- day would rank among the first in the world in flying equipment

Mr. White has been out of the Terri tory for number of years, and his appointment, is indeed a surprise.
TOO MUCH LAxNESS

The press, dispatches today stating that Prohibition Agent Bergfeld had been living high in Washington Ho- tel, entertaining women with wine and song will cause sober minded folk to wonder whither we are drifting. If a prohibition agent can break the laws to secure evidence why cannot a mar shal enter into an agreement to burg larize store, or shoot a citizen, or commit some other crime in order to secure the conviction of criminal. It appears to the lay mind as if the cases would be parallel. If prohibition en- forcement depends on enticing others to break the laws in order to secure convictions, it is poor law, and should be amended. There is too much disregard of law by those who are expected to enforce it. It creates a contempt for justice as administered and makes it harder for officers and courts to secure convictions.
Seward daily gateway., 1925-12-18
PROHIBITION CLASH

A new complication in the prohibi- tion enforcement program is seen in
 the clash between the Anti-Saloon Lea que and the Coolidge administration over the methods being employed by General Andrews, the ''dry czar."
 It has been announced by General Andrews that efforts of the federal government in behalf of prohibition en- forcement are to be directed princi- pally against the larger sources of li- quor supply while small bootleggers and minor violations are to be virtu- ally ignored for the present. This with President Coolidges approval. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League and leading spokesmen for the drys has violently attacked this policy declaring that in states where local enforcement is lax it will mean giving notice to liquor law breakers that they may violate the law with federal immunity from arrest.
 In the meantime several organiza- tions frankly antagonistic to the Vol stead law are becoming increasingly active. One of the latest is called the Moderation League, which contends that enforcement is failure and that drinking is approaching pre-prohibition proportions On it's board of directors are said to be such distinguished men as Elihu Root, former secretary of state; Kermit Roosevelt, son of the late president; Wm. c. Redfield. sec retary of commerce under President Wilson; President Dykeman of the
