With the pledging to date Of
$40 for the growing library
fund started by the bequest of
$1,000 by Ed Smith, an excel
lent start has been made to-
ward the $4,000 goal proposed
by the Age as a more suitable

Of the deceased library board
member.
Certainly we can and should
match Eds $1,000 with $4,000 in
stead of $1,000" said Frank A.
Stevens. OF the library board, this
morning.
The Job may as we'll be done up

The library hours, now 3 to 5

We need more shelving. We should

responsibility fer making a road

Although a new sort of case

NEW ANTI-BREW LAW
West Virginia Will Go After the
Home Brew Manufacturers

West Virginia has a new anti-home
brew law. Tt is in the form of an amend
ment to the State Prohibition act, and
was sponsored by the Anti-Saloon Leagus
and other drys of the state. The act pro-
hibits the transportation and sale of amy
malt, brewed, or vinous c. fermented
liquors, Intoxicating liquors or any COM
pound or preparation, whether patented
or not and whether intoxicating or not,
to any person, corporation or firm within
the territory of this state"
Violation of the new law is made a
misdemeanor with punishment fixed at
fine of not less than $50 nor more than
$500 for the first offense For the second
and subsequent offenses, the penalty is a
fine of not less than 500 nor more than
$500 and confinement in Jail of not less
than two nor more than six months.

SO unprinciped, immoral and greedy are
the liquor forces that they will debauch
American youth if they can If, cursed
is he who puts the bottle to his neighbours
lips how doubly cursed is he who puts
the bottle to the children's lips There is
no salvation of our American youth save
in complete prohibition of beverage alco-
holic liquor.
VOTING
We have had since our last annual
meeting the most remarkable awakening
of voters our times have seen. The po-
htical upheaval brought about in this gen.
eral voting is confederation of the claim
that whenever all the people vote. the cor
rupt politicians and rotten politics are
defeated It is to be hoped that being
now awake and seeing they can win a
victory for good government, our citizens
will remain awake and continue active at
the polls. The mobilization of the voting
strength of every political unit in our
state is one of the functions of this
League and one of the most sacred obli-
cations upon every officer and member of
the League.
DANGERS IN SUCCESS
The Anti-Saloon League, both national
and state, finds in the general success of
prohibition one of the difficulties in max
ing our people realize how determined the
liquor forces are to break down Ameri-
can prohibition. Success in many sec
tions of Our country has brought about
lethargy and Indifference on the part of
some of the best Of our former friends.
Prohibition in America is not secure any
where if somewhere in America it is be-
ing successfully resisted. SO long as there
remains in this Republic one wet state or
county or city there the whole nation must
be alert to stamp out such laWlesSnesS.
Uncontrolled fire in one small room of
house threatens the whole structure. The
sections of our country blessed with good
enforcement of prohibition must keep up
the fight until all is won. The missionary
spirit must prevail They must continue
contributions and support of the Anti
Saloon League, until the flag is washed
clean of every stain of alcoholic drink
THE END IS NOT YET
So while we rejoice in the great victories
of prohibition, we must remind ourselves
and our friends that the enemies of pro-
hibition were never more strongly en-
trenched in funds, a subsidized press, and
by means of false propaganda than in this
present hour. The repeal of state enforce
ment acts in few states and the test at
tack upon our own state and its enforce
ment act, are loud alarms sounded in the
ears of all friends of prohibition. Tt is the
strategy of the vets to bring about the
defeat of our prohibition laws by repeal
of state enforcement acts. Tt behooVes, us
therefore, to strengthen our forces, to ex-
tend our work, to largely increase our re-
sources and settle down for the most con-
slant, hardest fighting we have ever done.

THE PRESIDENT

In President Herbert Hoover, over
whelmingly elected to his exalted office,
we have thoroughly typical American.
We commend the President for the splen-
did utterances in his address both at the
Inauguration and subsequently in his
messages calling upon the citizens of
America to observe the laws. We heartily
support his contention that only thus can
we perpetuate American institutions and
achieve efficient government. We assure
President Hoover of our constant support
in his program to. clarity, simplify and
enforce all laws.

THE JONES LAW

The readiness with which the Congress
passed what is popularly known as THE
Jones act' providing heavier penalties for
violation OF the prohibition laws again
demonstrates the determination of the
Federal government to enforce effectively
all law. The Jones act is designed to stop
the commercialized illegal liquor business
in our country. It provides increased pen
alties for fragrant violations, but does not
increase the minimum penalties.
Wide discretion is given the courts in
determining whether the commercial fea-
lures are present in any given case. This
law is thoroughly justified and is none too
drastic in making for efficient govern
ment. The hue and cry of the wet press
against the drys is mainly gross misrep-
resentation both of the law itself and the
intent thereof. 1t would be we'll if every
state in the Union were to enact for itself
a law similar to the Jones act We COM
mend the members of the National House
of Representatives and the United States
Senators who gave to the country by their
vote this just measure and we urge all
government officials who have to do with
the administration of this and other anti
liquor laws to be vigilant and courageous
in the application and enforcement of it.
CHURCH AND STATE
During and since the presidential elec-
ton of last year a persistent effort has
been made by wet propagandists to create
the impression that the Anti-Saloon
League and similar organizations are a
perilous departure from the principle of
separation of Church and State, and that
there has been an invasion of the func-
tions Of government by the churches. The
Anti-Saloon League is made up Of elective
representatives from religious organiza-
tions, reform bodies, etc., and is organized
for the purpose of maintaining, protect
ing and extending the prohibition laws of
America. These representatives are not
lobbyists in the popular sense Of the term
They are simply representatives of that
large majority of our citizens who are de-
termined to abolish the traffic in alcohol
for beverage purposes The methods used
are wholly legal and are the only effec-
tive means available in a representative
form of government. The temperance
bodies serve as disseminators of informa-
tion concerning measures and men. In
some instances they openly endorse cam
didates for public office. All of them
stand ready to aid honest officials in the
discharge of their duties These organi-
cations constitute the militant force in
our country arrayed against the law
breakers. At present their existence is
the only guaranty of continued triumph
of prohibition of the liquor traffic in
America We advise all our citizens to
feel no alarm and to give no credence to
the gross evil reports circulated against
temperance workers and organizations by
a hostile press.

THE DAYS OF REAL MEN

Do you remember dear Sour dough? The miners /. meetings
 of long ago? Say in '97, wher
 our little towns on the Yukon had no Court House or jail; nc post office, church, schools, ho- telS, or dog pound; no rules, re- GulatlOnS, or written law; nc l1narShal, sheriff, or prohibition keyhole sleuths," no dentist. coctor, lawyer, priest or preach CT. When the Sourdoughs had .no taxes to pay. Tn those happy
 Icy gone days there was no mur- .der, stealing, or dishonesty and right was right and wrong was wrong and each individual un- dersto0d it. Here life, property, and honor were safe. Justice vas swift and sure, and punish mentS were made to fit the case. Yes, life was wild but men were square and honest. The verdict of the Miners Meetings was final and no money was involved on either side for court expenses. The miners or men calling these meetings posted a notice stating what it was called for, and it was usually held immediately. 4 chairman, who acted as judge and clerk of the dourt to take the minutes, were chosen. Then
 the plaintiff stated his case and produced witnesses, and the de- fendant replied and produced lis witnesses. Tn these trials the past reputation of a witness and sometimes of a principal were
 brought up; that is, if a man was known to be 9 liar or a truthful man, his statements were ac- oepted accordingly. After the witnesses had been produced md examined, anyone iii the room could aSk questions. A. the end the case was summed up oy the Chairman and it's merit. discussed by anyone who Wisneu vO do 50. when everyone was talked out, a division ot tho House was called tor; the verdict of the majority was then accepC- ed by the Chairman, and Unav vas The End.
 Alter the gold rush of '98, con- IIti0ns in the Yukon River nm ing camps changed. Civilization with it's religion, laws, disoroer, stealing, euucatIon, muraer, li- ars, frauds, social life, commer- cial vice, comforts and broAen pledges, crapt ln, justice cost money and disease ragged. But before '98, life and property were safe at our miners meetings. No firearms were carried by the oourd0ugh for protection; no prayers were said for the dead; out money was raised for the widow. The Indians were treat ed fairly and sQuarely and were honest, as no liquor was sold to them. A man could be Wet, or Dry, as he liked, and there were as many dries as in any other community. Every man had a right to his own opinion, and was not taunted or shot in the back for them if he did not try to force them on others. There were no hypocrites on the Yukon in those days. No preachers. priests, doctors, lawyers, jails. Court Houses, taxes, or "prohib- ition keyhole sleuths." There was mo need of them. Such was AL aska on the Yukon. The last
