PARMENTER HITS
DARROW'S STAND
Tells Lions Club Statement
on Fright to Drink" Is
MonstrouS Attitude.

The recent statement by Clarence
Darrow, noted lawyer, during a debate
in New York with Wayne B. Wheeler
general counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League, in which the former cham
pioned "the right to drink" in defiance
of the law, was termed as ''monstrous
by 3. NJ. Parmenter, Assistant Attor-
ney General of the United States, in
an address at a luncheon of the Lions
Club in the Mayfower Hotel yester-
day.
1t is a monstrous proposition, Mr..
Parmenrer said, when people will
stand for such a statement, advOcat-
ing the notification of a part of the
Constitution of the United States as
is represented in the eighteenth
amendment. He also deplored the
condition existing that enabled Mr..
Darrow's remarks "to get the atten-
ton of the public through the press.
Cites "MOb Rule" Danger.
Making it plain that he saw in Mr..
Darrow's address a proposal to nullify
q part of the Constitution of the
United States, Mr.. Parmenter predict
ed that if such a general sentiment
ever develops this country will
have mob rule" "It is high time
that the people Of this country are
understanding the propaganda that is
going on he added.
The speaker made the above state
ment after recounting the days of the
Revolution and the constitutional con-
vention and telling how the Constitu-
ton had been acquired through the
sacrifice Of the lives of the forefathers
of the citizens of this Nation.
Charles Hill of Miami, who bears

District who made the supreme sacri-
fee, he said, as we'll as an honor to
those who returned. He added that
'it will be something sacred to the
children of future years" He said
also that it will aid in building up ma
tional emotion, which he asserted is
needed.
Announcement was made that the
club will hold it's annual election of
officers at a meeting in the Mayflower
Hotel next Monday night at $50
o'clock. Also attention was called to
the convention of the twenty-second

When we made the original sur yey of a route for the Alaska Gen. tral in 1922, MT. Ballaine said to The Gateway, i've ran trial surveys over the Moose Pass route by way of Sunrise, over the Johnson Pass route by way of Sunrise, over the Johnson Pass route by way of Quartz Creek, crossing Turnagain Arm at the present Mile 67, and over the route the railroad now occupies by the tunnels and Placer River.
 Until 1 was president Of the Tan ana Construction Co.,, and general manager of the Alaska Central, and in control of the Alaska Central. up to 1905, I had settled definitely on adopting either the Moose Pass or the Johnson Pass route, preferably the Moose Pass. The big considera- ton at that time was the expense of crossing Turnagain Arm at Sunrise. Our engineers estimated that the cost would be $2,OOO,OOO. That was a heavy item, considering that I was building it at so much per mile in bonds and stock.
 Moose Pass looked to me in every way the best and most feasible route, even with the expense of the Turna- gain Arm crossing. It looks infinite ly better today because Turnagain Arm opposite Sunrise has filled in fully 20 feet in the last 9 years, which greatly reduces and simplifies the problem and expense of crossing it with a rock fill and two steel spans each of 250 feet. The width of the Arm between Snipers' point and Bird point is two and one-eight

never perfectly finished This is believed
to be responsible for encr0aChment on
the track and some people being run over
by the horses. On The whole there was
too much gadding about on the track and
it is MISUNDERSTOOD why the police could
not effectively prevent this. The absence
Of a telephone on the ground too made it
impossible to forward to ST Thomas by

Texas Plans New Law
To Exclude Negroes

AUSTIN, Texas, March 24.-(Spe-
cial) Sentiment apparently is crys-
talizing in the Texas capitol in favor
of a modified law to replace the one
ruled void by the United States
supreme court, denying Democratic
primary election suffrage to Negroes.
Gov. Dan Moody, who as attorney
general, had a hand in the states side
cf the Nixon test case before the fed
eral tribunal, declared in favor OF
new legislation delegating to party
committeeman the states sanction IN
saying who can vote in a primary
and who can not.
Thus "the same end will be reach
ed' Moody said, as by direct state
regulation, represented by the dis
placed statute.
Moody's stand is endorsed by Sem
ator Tom Love, former Democratic
national committeeman during the ku
Klux Klan regime, and D. w. Wilcox,
Georgetown, chairman of the state
Democratic executive committee.
Senator r. s. Bowers of Caldwell,
author of the law knocked out" said
that if the governor will include q
reiteration of his stand in a message
to the special session slated for the
last of April, he, Bowers, will intro
duce q new bill that he believes twill
be constitutional.

WHITES CONTROL
NEGRO WEALTH
IN OKLAHOMA

MUSK0GEE, Okla, March "a
Enterprise News Bureau) Despite
the millions of dollars which color
ed people in Oklahoma possess, lit
tie of II is In their control or of
use racially. In most cases the
owners of huge estates have been
declared wards of the county and
incompetent to handle their estates.
The result is that white men are
appointed as trustees and handle
the money very largely to suit them
selves. In Muskogee there are four
teen colored men each of whom can
count their fortunes at better than
half a million dollars. Their wealth
Is controlled by white guardians.
II is interesting to know how
these unlettered and in many cases
simple people came into possession
of their wealth. Before the civil
war wealthy Indians living In Geor-
gia, Alabama and Tennessee held
slaves just as did the white man.
When the government desired these
lands opened to civilization they
moved the red skins to the two ter
ritories, Oklahoma and Indiana Ter
ritory, later the state of Oklahoma,
making a treaty with the Indians
at that time, which read that they
should have the land as long as
water ran and grass grew green,
which was the Indians manner OF
interpreting forever. The civil war
came and the rich Indians. unwill-
ing to lose their slaves, fought on
the side of the South. At its close
to punish them. the Uncle Sam re-
voked their treaties settling so much
land upon each Indian. they, hence
forth, TO be wards of the govern
ment. II was decreed that the for.
mer slaves of the Indians were tC

plan which the tribes should adopt
The Creeks, the dark Indians, who
intermarried a deal with the Ne
groes, gave an equal share. The
very white Indians, such as the
Osages, gave but a part of sec
ton. When the land was allotted
the exslaves for the most part re
ceived the worst land available, bu

which had rich oil and mineral de

obtained. Many of them have beer

purpose and the crooked lawyer
