TWO BOYS DROWN 1T TSELDOv|A SUNDAY;
 4 THIRD |S SAVED
THIRD YOUTH RESUSCITATED AFTER BEING IN WATER HALF
 AN HOUR

While playing in a boat off shore, near Seldovia Sunday afternoon two sons of Mrs. Seminoff, widow, re- siding at Seldovia, aged IA and 16 years respectively, were drowned and third boy, aged 12, whose name could not be learned, and who was in the boat when it sunk, was resusci- tated by Dr. Lane after he had re- mained in the water half an hour. X News of the tragedy was brought to Seward today by District Game War den Charles Cadwallader, who arrived on the gasboat Hazel from Seldovia.
 According to MT. Cadwallader, it ap- pears that the boys got into cumber- some boat owned by Japanese, who used a large stone to anchor it to the shore. They loaded the stone into the boat and were padding about when the boat upset, the stone draw ing it down at one end. All three boys went to the bottom. In some way the tragedy became known and res cuers went to the scene, where the first boy was found with boat-hook and brought to the surface. He was immediately taken in hand by Dr. Lane who succeeded in resuscitating him after heroic efforts. The other boys remained in the water two hours before being brought to the surface, and all efforts at resuscitation failed to revive them.
 Mrs. Seminoff, mother of the boys who lost their lives, moved to Seldo- via from Kenai recently.

The Alaska Railroad has fallen heir to big bull moose, which wished it. self upon the railroad overnight at Tunnel. It is alive and kicking and bides it's time between munching will lows and charging up the steep bank of pit into which it became entrap- ped, the snow being too deep to permit of escape
 Railroad men say it is the largest specimen of moose they have ever seen along the railroad and it's tenn per is in keeping with it's bulk.

society man or woman who feels that it
is smart and snappy to serve liquors at
social functions These fuzzled Drained
people have never felt the slightest obi
CATION to anything or anybody save them
selves. For such folk there is no law.
For them there is no government. They
live careless, vapid, quest of satisfac-
ton of the vulgarity of the flesh. One
comfort is that this class of booteggee
is very small and has little or no inAu-
encc in the larger life of the nation.
Still another group of bootleggee is the
business man who still labors under the
delusion that liquor helps to put over the
deal. Getting the customer drunk may
help to consummate a crooked deal, but
in honest business the liquor treating
habit is rapidly disappearing from Amer
lea. Real business today requires a clear
brain and a good temper. The drinker
is hopelessly outclassed by the total abb
stainer. The sober man carries away the
name on the dotted line while the drunk
aid goes home to turn in his sample case
and tell his bored and tired friends what
a cruel world this is.
The bootleggee is the bane of the club
life of our time. He sneaks in with his

The word bootlegger has content of
shame, sneakness, lawlessness and crime.
Ii is one of the words that contain all the
judgment, condemnation, adherence and
repugnance one feels for lewd freeboot-
er. Bootlegging is not confined to the
illicit handling of liquors. This strong
word applies to all who seek gain through
defiance of law. Usually the bootlegger
engages in his lawlessness for the money
he can make. A more contemplate per-
son is hard to find. But there are more
degraded criminals than the bootleggers.
These are BOOTLEGGEES. The pat
ron of the bootlegger is to be more de-
spised than the beetlegger himself. The
bootleggee is the creator of the bootleg
ger. Without a market the bootlegger
disappears, the bootleggee furnishes the
market and is the worse criminal of the
two.
Who are these bootleggees? They are
IN many cases leftovers of the saloon
days. Poor fellows who can't quit. They
will drink till they die. This class of boot
leggee is rapidly leaving us. For them
one can hardly fail to have some feeling
of pity.
Another class of bootleggee is the high

bottle. He boasts of his independence
and nerve. Many of the clubs are Kidding
themselves of this sort of sport. Somehow
the presence of the bootleggee does not
help to pay the bills Solid, substantial
folk don't like TIE beefy, ill-smelling
presence of the bootleggee. Nothing
prospers in the hands of drunkards. SO
the clubs are finding it necessary to dis
courage the presence and activity of the
bootleggee
But the most repulsive crown of boot
leggees is that comparatively small num-
Der of ministers, priests and church men,
bers who are unwilling to give up liquor.
These people should at once leave the
ministry and the churches. 1t is hard to
conceive OF a greater contradiction of all
the teachings and example of Jesus than
is shown by those confessed Christians
who are still following the devil of strong
drink. Such church people out-devil the
devil and are the shame of the churches
today. Il is time for the church to
cleanse herself of the foul presence of the
bcotleegee whether found in pulpit or
pew.

BOOTLEGCERS OF BERLIN
REDlSTlLL PATENT AUTO FUEL

Berlin, March 5. AP.)-Bootlegg of
grain alcohol, illegally redstilled from a
patented motor car gasoline are in
creasing in such numbers that the federal
government is considering charging it's
force of liquor agents to cope with the
new evil.
Since Cologne police seized two stills
and 5000 gallons of alcohol and ar
rested two men on charges of manufac-
turing alcohol without license, raids in
other parts of the country have disclosed
that the extraction of alcohol from the
motor fuel and its sale to liquor indus
tries has grown to be a tremendous bust
ness.
The evil was more or less sponsored by
the government itself in fostering the
manufacture of a gasoline" called mo-
nopolin, which consists of 90 per cent
pure alcohol made from potatoes, ether
and benzine. 1t sells for less than ordi-
nary gas and is said to give more power
per gallon.
1t is a comparatively simple process to
redistill the fuel end get grain alcohol
which is virtually 100 per cent pure.

this series of college conferences it was
agreed that our program would be forum
work and we wished to keep faith with
the stdent body and conduct our group
work on the discussion basis. Conse-
quently, in the chapel period where
usually had nearly half hour, | dwelt
only upon those phases of prohibition to
which there could be no later comeback.
These chapel talks afforded an opportu-
nifty to introduce the subject to the stu
dent body; they helped arouse the interest
OF the faculty in the subject so that it
became easier to arrange later in the day
fer the opening of class periods for the
discussion of the phase of prohibition in
which the particular class was most like
~ to be interested. These chapel exer-
Cises also gave a college sanction to the
discussion of the prohibition question and
gave a tone to the whole subject. 1t also
gave an opportunity to answer the dis
cussions in various classes or groups and
the later meetings of the day. One thing
which must not be overlooked is the TACT
that in the colleges the attendance is
largely compulsory and yet so customary
that there is no resentment on the part
of the student body. In other words,
one has his audience already made for
him and | can say that there is no more
inspiring group before which one can
come with a message about prohibition
and no other group challenges ones best
moe than these college young folk who
are where they are to find out what the
truth is.
after two weeks such experience it
occurs to one that the reaching of the col
1ege student bodies in any state is of such
strategic Importance that it should not
be overlooked or neglected even though
other phases of Our work must suffer in
order to give these students what they
need. When one takes into account the
fact that in the United States there are
nearly one million students in the col
leges and universities, technical and trade
schools of the higher grades, and that, as
Dean Walters of Swarthmore college said
a year ago, at the present rate of increase
in our attendance upon these institutions
OF learning within another twenty years
we shall have one person in every ten
with more or less o. college training, and
that these men and women will in the
ve-y nature of the case be the leaders in
the thought of the nation, it becomes ap-
parent that to reach the student body of
to-day and of the next ten years is of
strategic and tremendous importance

WIN outDurStS OF Indignation, proieS-
sedly prompted by deep patriotic concern
over the expenditures for prohibition, in
one breath, while advocating notification
of the constitution in the other the vets
have worked themselves into considerable
OF frenzy over appropriations for fed
eral prohibition law enforcement.
AS usual, only one side of the question
is presented. They do not take the
trouble to refer TO the report of the In
ternal Revenue Department or any of the
other official sources from which they
could obtain authenticate information and
figures.
BooItleggers Pay Cost in Illinois
AS matter of fact, taking both the
state and federal governments into con-
sideration, prohibition enforcement is
practically paying IFS own way. In ar
irving at ultimate cost to the taxpayers,
state figures must be made a part of the
calculations. In Illinois, for example, it
has been concusively demonstrated by
the actual figures from the counties, with
several years as basis for the deductions,
that it need not cost the taxpayers a cent
to enforce the prohibition law; the fines
collected exceed by several times the
costs of the Investigations and prosecu-
tons. We have before. us reports from
States Attorneys showing this to be the
case.
OF the $30,00O000 appropriated by Con-
gress for the current year, over which the
vets are so much exercised, more than
$15,000,000 goes to the Coast Guard. Pro-
hibtion is only part of the Coast
Guards work. We have before us the
report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for the fiscal year ending June
3d. 1926. 1t shows a total of $5,647 ,328.53
paid into the United States Treasury from
taxes, fines, and forfeitures incident to
Prohibition enforcement. And this does
not take into account the millions repre-
scented in confscated automobiles, vessels,
and other property. The Outlook Mag

figures (for 1929, laying aside any de-
auctions from fines received or values of

conhscated property, concludes: The ac-
tual expense of prohibition enforcement,
therefore, narrows down to perhaps ff-
teen cents person.
Loss" of License Revenue Big Gain to
Nation
The Gloss" of 100000 in the sew
en- years of prohibition in liquor license
or fees, referred to by the vets, is really
gain of millions to the nation. Under
license it costs many times as much to
take care of the pauperism, insanity,
crime, and general delinquency caused by
liquor drinking as the government re-
ceived from license fees. Moreover, it
was generally conceded that under license
approximately $1,000, 100000 a year was
expended directly for Intoxicating liquors.
And this isn't the whole story. Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher of Yale, leading
economist, estimates that Prohibition in
its effects ON legitimate industry means
a saving to the nation of 000,000,000
year The prosperity of the United States
under Prohibition is reflected in the fol-
lowing statement which recently appear
ed in the press from Secretary of COM
MERGE Herbert Hoover:
mo one will deny that 1926 has shown
the highest total production and consump-
ton OF industrial commodities of any year
in the history of the United States. :.
Altogether, we enter the new year with
a job in prospect for most everybody,
with the whole nation better fed, better
housed, and better clothed than any
other nation. :"
OF course, many factors have contrib
uted to this prosperity. But basic eco
nomic causes and effects leave no question
as to the large place prohibition of the liq-
uor traffic occupies in this remarkable
American accomplishment. Mr.. Hoover
himself has said: "There can be no doubt
of the economic benefits of Prohibition. 1
think increased temperance over the land
is responsible for a good share of the
enormously increased efficiency in pro-
duction-there can be no doubt that Pro-
hibition is putting money into the family
pocketbook"
