our views either on prohibition or the enforcement of the laws bear ing it. Our experience as manufac- turers has shown us that prohibition even with the lax enforcement of the law, is success and much to be preferred to the licensed saloon or in fact any method of selling intoxicating liquors. It is very unusual to have any difficulty with any of our employees drinking. They work much more steadily and are better workmen and more dependable in every way. The laws bearing on prohibition are not en- forced 100 per cent, neither are laws bearing on other questions. The return or public drinking place would make hhe motorcar menace on the highways and would stop the sale, to a large extent, of the cheaper cars, as money would be spent over the bar as in the old days and the family would go without a car. >..

NO OBJECTION, IT SEEMS

An elderly man of grouty ten- dency lived in dread of paralysis When the fear came upon him he would pinch himself frantically to make sure that his enemy had not attacked hm.
 One night at dinner party his worse fears were confirmed.
 "Come at lastW Come at lastv he groaned ''Total insensibility of not attacked him.
 His partner alarmed, craved en- lightment. On being told the trag- edy, she said:
 "Oh, we'll, if it's any consolation to you, I may as we'll tell you that it was my leg you were pinching."

place where. the fishermen can paint and repair their boats. Give them fair prices on their gear and bait. Get behind the plan to offer boat service to Prince Rup- ert and for time forget redlights and look upon the white lights of purity and decency. If the tenderloin district is necessary for our prosperity, put a big red light on flag pole so tall that it can be seen for twenty miles up the channel to welcome the fishermen and President Harding when he visits us next summer.
 "The concensus of opinion has been that this was going to be a banner year," MT. Van Marter went on, "but suddenly we find that it is all a pipe dream and our hopes are changed to dispair all because a certain United States attorney by the name of Charles H. Miller, has seen fit to consider his oath of office as sacred and has proceeded to enforce the law. We have the tragic picture of few business men making a plea to the court to leave them the restricted district with all of it's filth and rotteness-the ter minal of the taxi cabs. Other pro minent business men say, it is the bunk. or that fishermen demand or 'our town needs such places.
 "With all love, with all tender ness," MT. Van Marter concluded his sermon, making a final earnest appeal to the men and women present, "Have you a girl to give? These houses cannot run without girls. Someone must furnish them. Will you ask women to go through the pains of motherhood only to have that loved child grow up to be a denizen of the underworld?'
 (Editors Note:-Chas. H. Miller continued the fight but without Rev. Van Marter although the red lights are in the same place, in the very same houses, and just as numerous. Is MT. Van Marter's silence his latest and revised ans wer to his wife's question quoted above for which he alone is res ponsible?)
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-02-15
Why Laws Are Broken


 condition of affairs exists in this town is one of four things: either there is no law or ordinance gov erning them; incompetent officers, too weak Or cowardly to enforce the law; protection paid in direct violation of the law; or failure on the part of the mayor and council to back up the officers. The public, not I, must be their judge and jury.
 "I am confident, however, that competent officers, backed by the mayor and city council and police committee could clean the town of its tenderloin district, boot leggers and gamblers. Many would leave without standing trial.
 Is the Line a Necessity?
 "What does the line produce? A row of bootleggers, the head quarters for the dope ring of Ketchikan who are in league with San Francisco agents, and robber- ies without arrest or conviction. Last Christmas a young man on his way south to waiting bride was relieved of most of his money. In that case the king of the underworld played a part. I won't describe him. I will only say he is an ex-convict. The man was glad to get back $150 of his $38O. What would happen if bank clerk Or grocery clerk short changed?
 "The city election is coming and now is a good time to make law and order a campaigA 1ssce and elect the right man to office.
 Fishermen Made the Goat
 Another objection to the abate ment of the red light district is that the fishermen will sell their fish elsewhere. If I were fisher man and you said that about me I would never come to Ketchikan. What a slander on their name to class them with the underworld! Bait and traps are used to catch fish. The fisherman is baited with the courtesan with her painted face, trapped in our protected houses of ill-fame, put to sleep with knockout drops and relieved of his money. As high as $2,0OO are lost in a day or two to boot leggers, pimps and prostitutes.
 If the business men really wish to hold the fishermen, why not
