NOT TRYING TO FORCE STATES TO
 BE WET.

It ought not to be forgotten in those dry sections of the South that opponents of the Vol stead Act have no desire to force the sale of liquor in their dry States They willing that the States that want to be dry might be as arid as Sahara They only ask that they shall not force their views upon those of other States where the majorites are largely the other way. They are simply standing squarely the old democratic doctrine of local self-government They believe that each State ought to be permitted to decide for itself. And, further, they are not ask ing for legislation to compel those who do not want to do to drink anything stronger than water even in those States where the majorities against Prohibition.

RACIAL SEGREGATION.

Wealthy New York Italians will honor Mus solini and further Italian-Ameriean cooperation by the erection of a 30-story skyscraper 10 be known as Mussolini Tower. It will cost slo,- 900 900, according to the announcement, and when completed will house the Italian Consulate. the Italian Chamber of Commerce. various Italian clubs and an Italian motion picture theatre Of course the program is for profit Those who are erecting the building seeking the rental and financing profits and eaptalizing racial and national sentiment to gain that end
 Perhaps that sort of thing is all right. Ger tainly there is way to stop f if the support is forthcoming Yet it must be admitted That there is sort of racial segregation involved ii it that it not wholly helpful in the making of Americans We have many hyphenated- Ames gan institutions that retard father than facilitate the work of the melting pot. However, there is no more reason for the activities of Sons of the Revolution and other societies that exclude those whose ancestors came to the country after the Fathers had established the Republic than there is for organizations of Americans whose crossing of the Atlantic of later date and who exclude from membership those whose ancestors pioneered the original thirteen Colonies The people who have come to this country since the Revolution and the adoption of the Consti- tuition and Americans ins every sense the same the descendants of those who came before. While there should be hyphenated- Americans there should be no exatation of those whose ancestry has been American for many gen eratons at the expense of those Americans of recent adoption.
 But, after all, these all matters that will adjust themselves in good time. Our government and most of our political and other social or ganizatons make distinction among Ameri- cans account of nationality or the time of ar rival in the United States. The most can hope for in the interest of amalgamation, is the exclusion from politics far possible those organizations that based racial other conditions that put distinctions among Ameri- in their list of membership qualifications.

Real Questions for Candidates.
(New York world.)

Mr. Willis, MT. Curtis and Mir. Hoover have graeiousy responded to Senator Borah's question nare asking whether they favored vigorous and faithful enforcement" of the dry law. It is now in order for Mir, Borah to go step further, to find out just how vigorous enforcement should be. Fortunately, Representative Sproul of Kan sas shows the way in a bill just introduced in Washington.
 Mr Sproul would authorize the issue of search warrants when any private citizen has reason to believe the law Is being violated in certain prem ises He would make any violation of the dry law felony and prescribe minimum well as maximum penalties including prison terms. Under his bill many respectable citizens would find themselves classed bootleggers, as the term is defined to include any one who gives away liquor, gives the address of a seller to friend or gives instructions in home brewing or distillng. It is booteesing under this bill to tell any where he buy implements, utensils materials for making intoxicating liquors. Following Kan SIS and twenty-one other States the bill would pfeFeny doctors from issuing and druggists from filling any prescriptions for liquors to be used medicinay. As MT. Sproul says. it would de- cline to recognize liquor as medicine.
 Now there's a, real dry bill. It proposes to put teeth in the law. Let MT. Borah ask his candidates how they stand the Sproul bill- any whether they favor such real enforcement at any money cost The Sprou bill is favored by many temperance societies Where do MT. Willis, MT. Curtis and MT. Hoover stand it?

Dickens and the Law.
(New York Times. ]


 The Lord Chief Justice of England has been sitting in review of the of Bardell Pick wick. His concuson is that the knowledge of the law displayed by Charles Dickens was ex- traordnarily minute and accurate. Lord Hewart declares that in all the report of the trial Dick ems made no mistakes
 It has often been wondered why Mir Pickwck himself did not take the stand and deny the scandalous charge that he had in a cryptic way sought the hand of Mrs Bardell in marriage. But the Lord Chief Justice points out that if Dickens had permitted this he would have been "thirty-eight years ahead of the law of evil dence" At the time when he wrote, in 1881, many classes were barred witnesses, including 'any party individually named in the record, ? or persons "in whose immediate and individual behalf any action may be brought or defended. ? It was only by successive stages that the law was amended so to get rid of that absurdity.
 Lord Hewart admits that there were certain things in the Pckwick trial which would seem irregular today Thus the lawyers cross-examined dence was admitted that was irrelevant But the Lord Chief Justice recalls with satisfaction the saying of a distinguished barrister: q never object to leading questions because they are the only sort l can ask, and I never object to inad- missible evidence, because the only fair way of trying case is upon evidence which is inadmis- sible.'

FRENCH HOLD UP AMERICAN MOTION

motion picture censoring commission, pro vided by new French law went into effect the first of March, and up to March 10 not single new American picture had been passed In the first week applications for permits had been made for 380 Ameriean-made pictures and every one of them was held up. More than so per cent. of the American pictures intended for production in France during the season of 192S-29 are in volved in The situation, and the film companies are greatl. worried The Department of Com merce is considering the matter and may ask the State Department to make represe entations at early date.
 American producers believe the French action is inspired by desire to prevent the flow If gold toward the United States.

Girth Control.
Detroit News.)

The problem interesting more people than any other in this country today is girth control There is no topic of conversation more general and more personally important to multitudes Of people than how to keep from getting too fat
 This is strange phenomenon in world that, from the dawn of history has been hard put to 1t to get enough to eat. It is probable that there never has been a time when more than half of the worlds population was not more or less continuously hungry, but in the United states food is so abundant that everybody must be warned not to eat too much and there is . protest against retaining land lest it's cultiya- ton should increase an already embarrassine surplus of foodstuffs

SUGGESTING A REFORM THAT WE
 ALREADY HAVE.

In recent address a New York iurist urged that "it is the solemn duty of every man of influence to take under his wing and guidance at least one member of the younger generation 3 He suggested that physicians should devote some time to advising pre-medical students, lawyers likewise with pre-law students, etc.
 The speech, by Judge yitale, is being com mented upon to an extent that indicates if k accepted as suggesting departure from existing conditions Is IL? As matter of fact we have the situation suggested now, and have long had it. There is probably no youngster contemplat- ing medical education or the study of law or journalism or any other profession that is not taking counsel of one or more masters of the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-03-21

profession he contemplates following. And there are few, if any, physicians lawyers, journalists, etc. who would reject request for advice from one seeking it. There are in fact, many of them who constantly have young men under their wings and guidance
 This is another instance of the futility of much of the effort of reformers. The condition they would bring about, if it is worthy, is either already here it's way, and needs no organi- zation ballyhoo artists to further it.
