in other states. In response to an inquiry about his
activities, Remus laughed and replied "Oh I'm taking
advantage OF some loop-holes in the Volstead act"
Remus laughs no longer because what he thought was

Many other notorious violators who had laughed not
only at prohibition but every other law on the statute
books behind the bars because they misjudged

For while foreign importers of outlawed liquors
laughed they struggled their forbidden poisons into
the United States from outside New York City.

SECRETARY MELLON SAYS
WAR, NOT LAW, RESPONSIBLE
FOR LIQUOR CRAVING

An interview with Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon was reported i'll the Chi
cago Journal. Aside from his assurance
that the law can be enforced, Mr.. Mellon
made some comments which quite com
pletely punctured the theory that many
drink simply because it is contrary to the
law. He said:
The greatest obstacle 10 enforcement
is the heavy smuggling of liquor that Is
going on along the coasts and the border
lines of the country.
Blames Drinking on War
when once we get that well under
control the rest of the problem will be
comparatively simple, With that out of
the way, we can handle the problem of
stills here and there throughout the coun-
try without much difficulty. At present
smuggling is going on very persistently
and on a large scale.
Il do not think that the widespread use
of Intoxicating liquor at present is to be
attributed to prohibition. 1t really is
condition following the war. A parallel
cy.= ole is to be found in the use of ciga-
rct.es. Before the war only few billion
cigarettes were smoked each year; now
the number smoked is ,000000,000. Be
fore the war few women smoked ciga-
rettes; now very large number smoke"
The secretary said he did not know
why such things should follow a great
war unless they were brought on with the
general disturbance of great conflict.

wet editorials in those papers than any
pussyfoot could possibly hope to indite.'
If there had not been flow of money

The fact is, the IS per cent who violate
the law make more noise and provide
more news items than the IS per cent who
have grown to accept it as inevitable and
those who know nothing but what the

Plaintiff testified that he had been building largely for the future, but while this is confmendable within req sonable limits the present town of Seward shouuld not be compelled to pay interest on investments made in the belief that within a short time the town will be several times as large. A certain amount of building. for the future is business prudence but be- yond that it is mere speculation. The known history of Alaska towns, their sudden growth and frequently almost immediate decadence ought to suggest to any business man not to risk too much on the future.
 Another fact must be taken into con- sideration by the court, and that is the ability of the town to pay. It has already been stated, and I think no one Will dispute it, that the Town of seward cannot pay rate much high CT than Ordinance No. 78 fixes for electric current. There are towns in Alaska which have less than one-ffth the population they had a few years ago. If the expensive electric plant had been installed in one of these
