IN LINE WITH DUTY

During the convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood at Sitka a resolution was adopted On motion of Klawock Camp and seconded by Rake Camp, con- .cemning the U. s. District at torney for coercing plea of guilty from the crew of the gas boat "Dubrovnik" of Klawock On the charge of illegal fishing.
 The crew had asked the stream Watchmen the correct time and he told them to 'Go to hell and fish on your own time" Their time indicated quarter tast six, Monday morning so they set their net and were ar rested for fishing during a close season. Brought before Com missioner Bagley of Craig they were told that unless they plead guilty and paid a fine of S4OC their boat would be tied up and and a case in admiralty started

BUREAU OF FISHERIES BOATS
 FGR COAST GUARDS

It is being suggested that the several boats of the Bureau of Fisheries be used to supplement the Coast Guard vessels during the closing days of fishing on the halibut banks.
 This publication votes aye" :" Il does not know 2 quicker way of losing 3 bunch of beWhisker- ed buric rats. And some say: Nor a better way.
 The surest way to prevent fur ther loss of lives in the Gulf of Alaska is to cut the fishing sea- son. Close down on all opera ticns before the big storms of November set in. It is a known fact that these storms are as re- gular as the years and not to be scoffed at by the best vessels of the fleet. Closing up before the storms set in will mean that the vessels will be in port out of the storm zone.
 Another effect it will have is from the point of conservation. The present depleted condition Of the fisheries demands regula- tions for the further protection Of the industry The less num- Der of halibut brought to the markets means a greater seed With more adequate seeding the industry will be in lot healthier condition giving a longer lease on the future life of the industry.

 In the Roman, Greek, Episco- pal and Lutheran Churches, Christmas is observed as 8 re- ligious festival with special ser vices Its celebration was form- erly forbidden by the Puritans, but Christmas day is now gener- ally observed throughout Christ endom by religious services, by public and social festivities, by the exchange of gifts between relatives and friends, and by the distributing of food and cloth ing among the poor. Tn most Christian communities, Christ mas is legal holiday.

Illinois thinks of Alabama, is not it for publication. Although the opinion Of Illinois may have changed since the Governor ol Alabama was arrested for hav- Ing liquor in his possession. Of iUurse, the President cannot change the Prohibition Law. Those in favor of Prohibition do not want 3 referendum on the question. That shows lack of pa triOJiSm and sincerity. A real American is always willing to lave 9 referendum on any ques- ton He believes that the ma -ority should rule though the l,oavens fall. And when you see go many good prohibitionists ap- pCsed to a reaI-American fair play deal, you behold another
 ues3.
 No candidate for public office can possibly win on an out-and out dry ticket. He could not get elected that way. Therefore when the conventions come around, you will always find the prohibition politicians trying to figure out a plank whch will raise false hopes, commit nobody end mean nothing. Which is more bunk. And there you have another mess. In the meanwhile most countries that went in for prohibition have abandoned it. The supply is growing. If you are fortunate enough to live near the Canadian border, you can ship across and get all the wine, beer and whiskey you want Those who live in Kansas and Oklahoma and such states are less fortunate. They've just got to drink Hor. made gin WhiSkey.

PROHIBITION MESS By James R. Little

Here are a few pointers on the Subject of prohibition.
 It has become such an awful mess that one gets weary of talk ing it seriously. Everybody who really wants a drink of liquor can get it, If he fails, it is eith- C. because he has no money or le has no sense. It is easy enough to make liquor at home but it is hard to make good Ii- QIor. Most public officials who vote for or enforce prohibition, drink in private Members Of the Antj-Saloon League have caught "doctoring" books and selling liquor, Prohibition agents have been caught selling the booze which they confscated And public opinion varies ac- cordjng to State, County and town. A glorious mess.
 The issue is in national politics 0Od will stay there until it is set tied. That's another mess! Our country consists of lot of states which, before the war, were growing more and more united, When the war broke cut, these States all hopped to- gether-like so many particles of quick silver in a saucer. For a while, we were a real nation. There came the end of the war end Prohibition. And our states are less united than they ever were. Some of them are even sore at one another.
