Citizen.
1T HITS ALL OF Us

Although politicians and others may feel some
what sighted because President Hoover failed to dis
the tariff, farm relief and other questions of
moment in his inaugural address, leaving those to be
taken up in his message TO congress- the great orty
of recognize the truth of what he said when he
dwelt at considerably length on subject which con-
each citizen of the country, be he farmer or
banker, laborer, millionaire or housewife.
The subject, as all know who read or heard his
speech, is law enforcement.
Mr.. Hoover specifically referred to the lack of
respect for the prohibition law, and to the alarming
tendency to disregard any law which may not be given
the approval Of the individual.
He advocated reform of our entire judicial sys-
tenn to obtain swift and exact justice, but he also ap
peaed to the individual to strengthen the force of the
law by observing il himself
The President in discussing violations of the
prohibition law, declared that such violations would be
negligible il only the criminals guilty of them.
All of US know this to be true As he pointed out it
is the tolerance shown by good citizens, and also by Of
ficals sworn TO uphold the law, in Wnkng violations
Of the prohibition law, which only undermincs the
effectiveness Of that law but Of all laws and our whole
social structure
"Our whole system Of sef-government will crum-
bic either ii officials elect what laws they will enforce
citizens elect what laws they will support, he said.
Thinking citizens even those who see no real ac-
cOmpshment in the prohibition act are beginning to
realize hat violating the a@ because they do not like
it, is serious business 1t is not the way TO remedy
what many consider to be evil.
II is this disrespect for law which is responsible
for such outrages Chicago has given the country for
the indictment and conviction of public officials; for
the number of atrocouS crimes committed by mere
youths.
When those who may rightly be considered the
backbone Of the nation, openly fout law because
they do not like it, it is only reasonable to expect that
the naturally inclined awbrcakcr will grow bolder and
add new recruits to his banner.
There is a solution for a statute that cannot be
enforced or that is not for the best interests of the
greatest number but it is not to be found by violating
the law.

Making Friends.
(Cincining Enquirer ,

The President of Costa Rica, greeting Presl- dent elect Hoover, pointed to the fact that no military pomp and display attended the reception ceremonies, but that the welcome of peace and friendship of his country for the United States was best represented and emphasized by streets lined with school children, not with soldiers.
 The far-reaching importance of the President elects Southern itinerary becomes daily more apparent Tn graspng opportunity of tre- mendous potentalities long neglected by Ameri- scale of notable political achievement. For it is President: "The visit of Mr Hoover is worth twenty legations It is worth years of diplomacy. u is uanscepdeutal

GOOD BYE. TEXAS.

Texas Congressman Jonn c Box, Democratic whip in the National House of Representatives, is very firmly convinced that the Democratic Party must be reorganzed. He gives as reason for his conviction that if the people and same influences and same principles that controlled the Houston Convention to remain dominant in the Democratic Party, Texas will continue to vote the Republican Ticket. From Demo- cratic standpoint it would, of course. be just too bad for Texas to become Republican State but if it is necessary to make the Democratic Party over into something that is not Democratic in order to hold Texas in line, what of it? Real Democrats would probably just have Texas vote Republican to vote anything else that is not Democratic. If Texas and the other States of the solid South not Democratic they ought not to be wanted in the Democratic Party and they ought to go some other party form a party of their own.
 But, Mr Box says if the Democrats force Texas and the ether States of the Solid South out of the Democratic Party the party will die. Well, things than death could to the Democratic Party. One of them would be the crucifXon of democracy. Another would he to make the party stand against State rights. local elf-government, the Jenersonan principle that that people is best governed which is least gov erned That would be far worse than the deseI- tion of the Solid south and the death of the
 
 Democratic Party as a National political organi- zation would not the death of democracy by any means The betrayal of democracy by the Democrats would be very serious matter.
 It ought to be made very clear at the earliest possible date that the Democratic Party proposes to remain democratic, and if the Solid South prefers dictation by the Anti-Saloon League the K. K K and Cannonized and Bartonized Metho- dist and Baptist preachers to following in the broad path plainly marked by Jefferson, Madi- son Jackson, Cleveland Wilson and the other great leaders then the well wishes of real Demo- crats Vin go with them they leave the party If they wish to go to the Republican Party that ought to be a matter for them and the Republicans. They will find. however, if they go into the Republican Party looking for Pro- hibition they will be sadly disappointed. The real Republican Party is just wet as the real Democratic Party That is, both of them arc for local sef-goyernment to that and most other things

 IT Browning were to drop into a woman's literary club named after him he probably would get brain storm trying to remember when he ever wrote anything about clay packs, diets and the best place to get bob.
 The reason a woman doesn'i have to worry about losing any thing these days is because the things there used to be danger of unexpected parting with either are packed up in the attic or have been used up as window rags or floor cloths.
 If Diogenes had wanted a really disccuraging job he should have looked for woman who would admit her husband turned out to be such a flop because she has been a millstone around his neck

Alaskans Cannot Starve.
Seattle Times. )

Alaska is progressing rapidly in food produc- tion The varied and abundant fisheries of sea and inland streams have been supplemented in recent years by large herds of domesticated rein deer and by the introduction of cattle, which give promise of becoming important industry.
 Vegetables thrive in every inhabitable part of the Territory, according to a report just issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station it Sitka. While the growing is short in many places virtually all kinds of garden truck respond quickly to the long hours of daylight in the summer and mature before occurrence Iof killing frosts.
 For years the fisheries have been the Ter Iritorys richest commercial resource, inasmuch las their output in form of either a canned Tor cured commodity, is capable of distant ship iment The reindeer business is dependent for marketable success on refrigeration and trans portation facilities, which, no doubt will be provided in the near future.
 Markets for northern vegetables cannot extend much beyond the ne ghborhood of production but their yield can be increased in any ouan- Itity to satisfy home requirements Alaska's food resources constitute an enhancing economic advantage.
