 It seems that Mejstric invested a large sum of money in a lumber en- terprise at Seward about two syears ago, which was promoted by Soo Hoo Gong, ' Chinaman..

NOEL SMITH WILLING
TALK, LOCAL CHAMBER
MAYOR RAY INFORMS CHAMBER
MEMBERS RAILROAD NOT
AGAINST LOCAL ROAD

In his brief address before the
Chamber Of Commerce business meet
ing and luncheon which was held at
Fishers cafe yesterday, Mayor L. v.
Ray, stated during the recent visit
to this city by Noel w. Smith, general
manager, Alaska Railroad, Mr.. Smith
informed him that the railroad is not
unfavorable to the connection of the
Seward-Kenai lake highway to Mile
20; that inasmuch as he is departing
shortly for Washington, D. c., he will
come over and meet in conference
local representatives
In part Mr.. Ray said:
81 had a talk with Mr.. Smith Of the
Alaska railroad on a certain matter in
which the town is interested, and
think letter will be forwarded to
the Chamber of Commerce and that
letter will cover in writing statements
|of the Chamber of Commerce about
matters which they desire to discuss
before Mr.. Smiths departure for
Washington, and in the event the mat
tiers should require it, Mr.. Smith will
come over for conference before
leaving for Washington.
"The railroad is not unfavorable to
the connection of the road with Moose
Pass and Mile 20, as it has been cred
|ited with being. The freight traffic
would be very little different, and the
passenger traffic between Moose Pass
and Mile 29 is so small a matter that
it is not to be considered. I think it
wise to contradict that statement
Regarding Supt. Henderson's re
marks, believe we should have pro-

which would tend to bring in people
who would spend their money here
and add to the town, I deplore the
fact that about $4,000 is sent out on
each boat purchasing goods that should
be bought in Alaska. These figures
are only a guess from gossip between
postal inspectors, with regard to
money orders written, but it is to

NEW LIQUOR ORDER
Ex-senator Says Coo|idge's
! Enforcement Edict Will
| Change Government.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. June 3.-Presi-
dent Coolidge's recent executive order
cn prohibition matters was the subject
OF criticism in an address last night by
Albert j. Beveridge.
The former Indiana Senator spoke
before the Historical Society Of Penn
kylvania in its celebration Of the ses-
quicentennial Of American independ'
ence.
He said that the order empowering
local officers TO become agents OF the
Federal Government was step
which, If Ii succeeds and becomes
permanent and general. will radically
and fundamentally change our form
of Government and change II at once.
ITO make local officials also Federal
oflicials." he said, lis, in practical eff
feet. to destroy our political subdi-
visions, or. at the very least, TO sub
iect towns. cities and counties and
State to a national control centralized
at Washington.
Cites Pioneers Plans.
THE former officer of our Regular
Army who devised this change in the
American system and who is in charge
of the execution Of it tells US the con-
stitutional preteXt for it. He says
ar of the States is now shared by the
central Government. If this military
and bureaucratic exposition of consti-
tutionaf law is sound. the planners
and builders of American institutions
wrought in vain.
1T is obvious that if local officials
can be made national officials to exc
cute one national law In a particular
locality they cannot be made agents Of
q general and centralized government
to enforce other national laws in every
locality. II careful President like
our present Chief Executive would
use wisely this unlimited and essen
tally autocratic power. a Needless
President might use 1t reckleSsly.
Such boundless authority in the un-
restrained hands of a certain type of
supreme Executive could be employed
to destroy the very reform which it is
now invoked to support.
Fears Political Machine.
I'm the realm of practical politics,
this power could be exercised to build
and run a political machine. national
in extent and Nationwide in its oper-
alton and efficiency"
Speaking of the mania for law
manufacture" Mr.. Beveridge said that
the result of minority tactics in
States as we'll as Nation. is a legal.
social. economic and political confu
sion in America. less intelligent and
more contradictory than was heheld
by Alice in Wonderla nd.
We'll meaning women and men have
heen and are afflicted by kind of &c
clesia stical complex. and. in that state
of mind. have been induced to look
upon law. administration and even the
judicial function itself, as aspects OF
religion. Such an attitude is neither
moral nor intelligent: it is merely
stolid and intolerant."

was the cause Of nearly all ehildren's
