ENFORCE THE LAW.

Both Mr Hoover and Gov Smith have pledged that if elected President they will use every ef- fort to enforce the Prohibition laws Nothing less should be expected from the President of the United States All laws should be enforced or repealed or amended and officers whose duty it is to enforce them ought to have the united support of the people in all their legitimate efforts to perform their duty.
 That is not done of course, anywhere. There are many laws that none make any effort to enforce There laws to attempt to enforce which would make people laugh at the officers. But that is argument against law and order except to show that to enforce laws that have not public approval behind them is impossible. Those laws that cannot be enforced and which a large part of the people do not want enforced ought to be repealed
 The Empire has always stood for law enforce ment It has objected to the use of unlawful means to enforce laws. It does not believe in armed officials, killing people because they are suspected of committing misdemeanors. It does not believe in subjecting men not charged or crime 10 unlawful search. It does not believe Ill lawlessness on the part of those who are sworn to enforce the law.
 In the United States perhaps the most per sisent vioators of the Prohibition laws have been Prohibition enforcement agents They have been illicit importers of liquor and have operated saloons both open and speakeasies, where con traband liquer has been sold for profit They spent it is admitted S60000 to $75,000 for liauor jazz and joy in New York night clubs to get indictments against Texas Guinan, Helen Morgan and seventeen other night club pro prietors and employees. They have violated In letter and spirit every phase of the Volstead Act
 Not only have they violated every phase of the Prohibition laws but they have committed most of the crimes in the catalogue They have outraged the White Slave law, have conspired with criminals and induced innocent men and women to commit crime. They have broken the laws against homicide and nearly all of the lesser crimes They have fouted the Constitution of the United States and deprived men and women of their lawful rights They have constituted themselves judges, jures and exeeutoners as well as arresting officers. They have earned for themselves the condemnation of both of the can didates for President of the United States They have produced an intolerabe condition.
 Prohibition enforcement has been placed in a class by itself in the United States. The duty to enforce the other Federal laws of the country devolves upon the Department of Justice. That is where Prohibition enforcement ought to have been placed, for the Department of Justice is directed by able lawyers and bolstered by sound
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-08-29

and sane traditions The Prohibition enforcement organization is political machine. directed by fam atics who respect law tradition or American principle of government With it the United States is simply organization for the enforce ment of the law in which it is interested. The Constitution is the Eighteenth Amendment plus authority for Congress to levy taxes to sup port it's enforcement.
 While there is question in the minds of reasonable and women who understand pre- vailing conditions that the Volstead Act ought to be repealed or amended there ought to be no question about the duty of officers of the law to enforce tae outrageous act as long as it is in the statute books, and there can be no question about the obligation of citizens to aid and support them im the performance of their duty-as long they proceed about it in legal manner.

Fine Book on Alaska.
fAnchorage Titmes.)

Alaska It's Scenic Features 1eography, His tory and Government" by Lester D. Henderson, of the Territorial Department or Education, copy of which has just been received by The Times. is of the best volumes ever written about Alaska His long residence in the Territory and the accurate Knowledge with which he deals with is subjects, makes MT. Henderson's s book most worthwhile publication
 In brief foreword MT. Henderson outlines the object of the book when he says:
 This book seeks to portray Alaska
 an exceedingly broad scale Within its
 pages will be inform ation on the geo.
 graphy scenic features, resources, com
 merce history and government of this
 far-fung empire of the North Alaska
 is misunderstood land; region con-
 ceived in the popular mind as bounded
 on the north, south, east and west
 by ice and snow inh abited by a peculiar
 people living in domed ice huts and sub
 sstng on walrus meat and seal oil;
 and as containing little of econmc
 value to the great Republic of which
 it is part.
 To the reader who will follow us
 through the succeeding pages hope
 to show Alaska in it's true light-as
 inhabited and habitable land. rich in
 sources. repete with natural attractions,
 and abounding in opportunity; with
 homes and fresides. schools, churches,
 and all things necessary to a full and
 complete life
 Within the limited space of the volume the author has succeeded well in doing the things set forth to be accomplished. Necessarily the pictures have been painted with broad strokes Details have had to be omitted in many instances Yet anyone who will carefully read it. cannot but gain a conception of the real Alaska which to the Territorys great disadvantage, is sadly lacking abroad and is encountered all too fre- quently right here at home. While the book let is apparently designed mainly for "outside'' consumption, it is Of such unique value that no Alaskan who desires to have a ready reference book on his homeland should be without it.
 Mr. Henderson has done the Territory a serv- tee in writing it.

Love Insurance.

The other day happened to hear a
couple of women discussing their prob
lens. One was grass widow who was
worrying about her alimony; the other
was selling insurance, and her problem
was how to insure lives and get COM
missions Their two heads were better
than my one. They gave me big
idea-love insurance.
Yes, why not insure the human heart?
People take out policies on life, fire,
plate-glass, accident, rain and broken
legs. I'm in favor of a policy which
will cover the broken heart, and I'd
like to write a few of 'em for some of
my girl friends.
No matter how romantic girl is, she
must take into account the cash value
of her heart It's horrid to be so prac-
tical, but just the same girl who
thinks of boss in terms of pay must
consider a man in the same dollar
signs.
And haven't men always bought their
wives in one way or another? They
Wich Islands, diamonds in New York,
groceries in other places Well, we
girls ought to make it serious for them
when they break hearts.
Insurance will fix all this business.
I know that there are breaches of prom
ise suits, but a girl isn't always sure of
winning the cash. If her heart IS in
sured, she can get her money more
quietly, just as though the man were
dead.
Then, of course, there is the alimony
If girl does get married. Her husband
has promised to support and cherish
her, but it isn't always easy to get the
cherish in cold cash. Men call 1t 'tax-
alton without representation"
The bill for American alinony Is
about as big every year as the national
debt wonder just who gets the
money. If we have love insurance,
wife can get her alimony from the in
surance company instead of the court
And how wife does hate to go to court
and tell how cruel or unfaithful her
husband was!
Now, my idea is this Some one will
start the heart insurance company. 1t
will guarantee girl SO much heart
balm, while married woman will get
so much alimony. Your fiance, or hus-
band, as the case may be, will pay the
premiums, but that will cost him less
than the bill the court would hand him
The heart insurance company will
have to take some risks, and then
the girl will have to be examined to see
whether she is likely to hold the mans
affections, just as the married woman
will have to undergo some sort of test
to find out whether she can continue to
charm her husband.
Think how much such love insur-
ance could have saved some rich peo-
pie! / think it's a grand idea.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December IL, 1860.-Justice McKenna
it was disclosed today, recently came by
the information that one Shon Won
Hinkle, a beardless barber from the
classic Rhineland, kept in his little shop
over which he preSides with much sue
cess in this city, materials not only for
shaving the faces but also the pocket
books of his numerous patrons.
The justice Immediately dispatched
an attendant of the court with a Sug-
geStion, couched in polite but rather
impressive language, that Mr. Won Hinkle
come down to the Justices Office and
enter an explanation of the mysteries of
this duplicate shaving operation.
The professor of raZorS and cards
responded with alacrity and appointed
a time when the complications of his
art might be revealed for the public
veal.
One or two of his friends, however,
one In particular, who has been more
than once honored by having his many
virtues, political and otherwise, men,
toned in the local newspapers-having
got wind of the matter, and either feel
ing that it would be a great pity to give
the world the advantage of the diScloS-
ures of the sublime mysteries proposed
by Mr. Won Hinkle, or fearing that such
an uncovering of the secret history of
the barber shop in question might not
be a good thing for him personally, ad-
vised the friend from the Rhineland to
come forward and make his explanation
semi-o officially, in order that too much
learning might not make the world
mad.
Mr.. Won Hinkle profited by that hint
and did the trick" as his friends ex-
pressed 1t, in the presence of Justice
McKenna. who considered the secret so
valuable that he admonished the profess
sor not to exercise it too often and
charged him not less than $50 for hav-
ing indulged his friends by communicate
ing to them his wonderful combinations
There are rumors today in Washing
ton and elsewhere that if President ELECT
Abraham Lincoln attempts to come to
Washington for his Inauguration by
passing through Baltimore, he will b.
waylaid by volunteer armed forces in
sympathy with the Slave-holding States
Steps will be taken by Alan Pinkerton
and the detectives in his employ TO lis
cover whether any such plan Is being
made and to protect the President-elect

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December 13.

Again sinister stars rule, according
to astrology, and it is we'll to be careful
in all things.
Women are likely to be more fortu-
nate than men under this planetary
government and the morning should
be the most auspicious time for their
activities.
There is a fairly good sway for shop
ping and for attending to whatever
concerns the family.
Under this sway men may be exacting
and faultf1nding and domestic jars are
to be avoided, especially those con-
nected with money problems.
Business men may be foolishly ag-
gressive while this configuration pre-
walls and they are warned to concen-
trate on routine matters.
There is a sinister sway for Specula-
ton, which will offer many temptations
as 1928 nears its end.
There is a sign which is supposed to
muddle the Judgment and to encourage
unwise decisions. 1t is well also to
refrain from expressing opinions.
Arguments will tend toward angry
discussions and lawyers should be
especially careful.
AVlaCl0n may pe subject 10 unIaVOr-
able influences. For this reason those
who journey through the air should be
doubly careful.
The mind is supposed to be sensitive
to evil impressions under this sway,
which encourages persons to believe the
worst of their neighbors.
Tongue and pen should be guarded
against criticisms or faultfinding under
this direction 0f the stars
Persons whose birth date 1t is have
the augury of sudden and unexpected
changes which should be beneficial.
Secret influences may bring money and
good fortune.
Children born on that day probably
will have distinguished careers. The
subjects of this sign usually have periods
of extraordinary success followed by
upheavals that put them in new en-
vironment.

Scaln Massage.

The purpose of scalp massage is to
increase the flow of blood and to loosen
the scalp. During the massage the
nerves that supply this part of the head
are gently stimulated. There are diff
ferent systems of massage, but they all
aim at the same result.
I am describing a series of massage
movements that any one can do at
home. Begin by placing the fingers of
both hands at the hairline on the fore
head. Keep the fingertipS firmly pressed
down and rotate the scalp; do not let
them slide over the scalp. Rotate in
this manner 10 times. Now move the
fingers UP toward the crown of the head
about two inches beyond the hairline.
Repeat the rotary movement. Move the
fingers up another two inches and re-
peat.
Place the fingers of your right hand
on your right temple and rotate them
gently. Do not wrinkle the skin. This
movement stimulates the nerve at the
corner of the eye. Move your fingers
up toward your crown and massage this
side of your head in the same way in
which you have just maSsaged the CEN
ter and top. Massage the left side with
your left hand.
Now place your fingers on the hair
lines behind your ears and give the
