l ask indulgent attention to a lbrief and inadequate discussion to cone phase of the preliminary report .of the Wickersha mlaw enforcement commission. I retsrict my discussion ito the opening paragraphs of the preliminary report, which are titled ."Scope and Size of the Problem" : 4do so because this portion goes to the 1very fundamentals of the great con- ttroversy.
 Unfortunately it is expressed in somewhat sryptic phrases, as though 5the learned commissioners were con- sciously walking on very thin ice. l 4doubt whether the American people ihave yet fully realized the .signiti- .cance and prophetic character of the inevitable implications of this portion of the report.
 10 many this preliminary explana- ttion of the commission may be as en- ligmatic as the Delp...an Oracle, but if the prohibition leaders had caught its full significance they would have rent their garments, sat themselves down in sackcloth or ashes, or possi- Ibly have had resort to the wine which, on high Scriptural authority, ."gladdens the troubled heart of man." The collective experience of the past .and the time-honored traditions of 1the English-speaking people consti- 1tute 3 damning indictment of the Eighteenth Amendment. It should be matter to the vets and of apprehension to the drys that this commission, composed of able and learned men, will at some appropriate time pass fro mthe mere incidentals of, the great controversy and discuss 4the very heart of the problem. :. ;. .. ! shall venture to explain the real significance of their pointed allusions fu the ancient traditions and experi- 1ences of the English-speaking race and their application to the present s0Lu8LlOn.
 The profoundest intellect of an- tiquity, Aristotle, said two thousand years ago that, if constitution-by which he meant the aggregate of the Jaws prescribed by the state-contiict with what he called the "ethos," namely, the spirit or genius of peo- pie, the result of tie conflict would not be uncertain, for the laws have no lasting vitality save in the spirit of 2 people. We must distinguish this ethos," or spirit, of a people fro mtAe mere resuiSs of the polling boQAh or fuctuating votes in legis- latives assemblies, for these only reg ister the temporary opinions of feet ing majorities.

One of the finest frolics of the winter was enjoyed by large at tendance of members of Mooseheart Legion of the World, Juneau Lodge No. 25, at the regular meeting Tues day evening at Moose Hall. The Mooseheart Legion, which is the second degree of the Moose Order. is noted for it's enjoyable frolics. and it is reported by Great North Moose Walter Hellan that the pro- gram for the meetings during 1930 promises to break all records for fun and entertainment of the Ju- neau Lodge, and that very lively bunch of members are attending.
 Considerable talent was displayed Tuesday night when Legionnaires Sorin Christensen and Neil Ram sey did their stuff in song and poetry.

TREASURER w. G. SMITH RESIDES IN JUNEA BECAUSE LAW REQUIRES

JUNEAU, Jan. 23.-(To the Edi- tor)-Relative to your recent edi- torials under headings of "Candi- dates for Office" and The Empire and the Primary" please permit me to say that upon reading the first mentioned, it seemed distinctly unfair so far as applying to off, cials seeking to succeed themselves. However, it seemed hardly worth while to take exceptions, but if others have done so, would like to add my voice to the chorus.
 For example: at time of my origi- nal appointment in 1913 to office of the Treasurer of the Territory, l was and had been continuously for six years previous thereto resi- dent of the THIRD JUDICIAL DIVISION. By provisions of law and necessities of the office, the Treasurer of the Territory is re- quired to live in Juneau. So far as I am concerned, I have been a resident of the First Division only by reason of being Treasurer of the Territory. The same might be equally true in other cases.
 Very respectfully,
 WALSTEIN G. SMITH.

Anne overhears Mor5c anl Robert Douglas, his aid, plarrirg destruction of Glcnn's dam. No longer denying her love for Glenn she runs to warn hly.

out of the tunne; and addressed Glenn.
 Every man on the job has quit" he said. except the night shift in the tunnel there, and they're going to quit as soon as they're paid off in the morning
 Glenn frowned but made no com ment. He indicated beats around the wall which Sheb, the watchnan and the foreman were to take up. then he walked off quickly in the direction of the tunnel.
 Inside the tunnel, the air was un- occasionally charged with mutiny The men who were pushing trucks of earth back and forth eyed Glenn with sullen, lowering hostility. Un- der the forenan's watchful gaze. they all kept up some pretense of work-Inaking the least possible speed-but the instant his back was turned to speak to Glenn, every pick was dropped, every truck ceased to move. They gathered in little knots, conferring together in low tones.
 The foreman explained a little more in detail to Glenn what had happened. All but this night shift had been paid off at six o'clock They had given no notice then of quitting the job, but later one oi the foremen had seen them hanging around the railroad construction camp a few miles below. On in quiry, he had learned, with consid- erable difficulty-that Douglas hac offered them double pay for quit ting the job without notice ane coming over to the railroad crew
 At this juncture, the men, wht had been talking in separate groups suddenly united and moved in { body towards Glenn and the fore man

 One man stepped out a little iron the others as spokesman. We're of fered double pay over to the rail road construction camp if we qui tonight-right now, in fact-an' we're quittin', that's all
 aYou haven't stopped to con sider, have you?' Glenn suggested quietly, that they're only hirin' you to try to cripple the work here when they're through with you in few days-or at most a few weeks they'll kick you out like dogsp
 The men only shook their heads sullenly unimpressed. We've don got cur minds made up" tn spokesman said laconically. Tt ain no use wasting words"
 stNo, I believe you're right abou that" Glenn agreed. With a swif movement, he drew out his revolve' and covered them with it. Wher

THE ENEMY STRIKES

Spurred by the knowledge of the menace to all his hopes and ambi- tions that the irrigation project represented, Glenn hurried along the well worn path toward the tunnel
 His easy, muscular strides that had caused Anne to liken him to a winglike god overlook Sheb who had been sauntering along. In a few words Glenn explained the sig nificance of Anne's warning and they plunged Into the subterranean passageway that led to the reser- voir.
 Their fears were momentarily al- layed when an inspection showed nothing suspicious and the watch man said he had noticed nothing out of the ordinary. AS they were talking one of the foremen came

 5. E. Alaska Towns

Staff-Capt. Joseph Acton from his Wrangell headquarters has an- nounced that a picked Indian Sal vation Army Band of 36 pieces to be selected from Rake, Klawock, Ketchikan, Metlakatla and An goon, will visit Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria and Seattle next month. The band will give concerts and musical evenings in the various towns mentioned
 It is believed, according to Capt. E. Tobin, in charge of Salvation Army work at Juneau, that this will be the first Alaska Indian band to visit Canada. "At least" said Capt Tobin, it will be the first Salvation Army band to do so.'
 Staff-Capt, Acton will accom- pany the band on its southern trip Commissioner Robert Hoggard, Ter ritorial Commander of Western Canada and Alaska. will be with them in the cities they visit
 Plans are financed" said Capt. Tobin, Ito bring the Indian band before large crowds of people and to meet several large Salvation Army bands, from the larger towns, on it's tour"
 It is planned that the Alaska band will be in Vancouver from February Is to February 22, after which date 1t will continue its tour.
 A Congress of Officers of the Sal- vation Army to be held in Ven- couver, B. C., February Is to 19, is the cause of the musical organi- zation going south. There will be 12 officers from Alaska, and bands men. They will be entertained with seven other bands in Vancou- yer, and will visit Victoria New Westminster and Seattle before re- turning to Alaska.

 very earnest. This tunnel can be finished in Is hours and the water
 turned into the reservoir--the only
 chance I've got to save this reser-
 voir and the millions of dollars that
 are tied up in it from these devils who are trying to blow it up. Any man that makes another move to quit his job before that time--or to loaf oa twill be shot down like the treacherous scoundrel that he is. Now, get back to your work I've got something else to do be- sides talk!"
 The men, taken completely off guard and too astonished at first to make even protest, began now to groWl and grumble. They started to argue the case-seemed once on the point of rushing Glenn and throwing him, but his attitude was so resolute that they finally wav- cred, lost spirit, went back to work by no means willingly, however. Glenn handed his revolver to the foreman, stationed him on guard at the only exit from the tunnel, with orders to shoot if necessary Then he turned and ran swiftly back toward the dam.
 Halfway to the wall, he heard volley of shots ring out-Sheb's old shotgunl When he came up on the run to the spot from which the shots had apparently been fired, though, Sheb was nowhere to be seen, but the sound of curses and tussling, of something being dragged heavily over the ground, guided him along the wall There was sound of something ripping, giving way, falling, another oath from Sheb, then swiftly fleeing footsteps. Another shot rang out and another. Glenn and the other two men who had come up at sound of the shots,

 When they came back to the wall after a prolonged and thor ough search, Sheb was still standing In the exact spot where they had left him. By the light of the watchmans lantern, they could see him, glumly shaking his head and staring down disgustedly at the re- mains Of an ornate crimson sash which he held in his hands. Still dolefully shaking his head he pointed to the place in the sash where his ancient enemy and fellow musician, Tony, had slashed his way to freedom-after being dragged distance of some dozen fleet or more by his picturesque ap- bondage.
