ADVERTISING The DEVIL"

Have you noticed on the billboards the
advertisement of the so-called Crusaders?
This poster is adorned with the picture
of the Crusader in armor on horseback.
The call is for all to join the Crusaders
and end prohibition. This is another
amusing evidence of the lack of humor
among the vets. The responsible head of
these so-called Crusaders must be Woe
fully ignorant of history or colossally
stupid
The Crusaders, as everybody and some
of the vets must know were the militant
Christians of the middle ages who were
marshalled to besiege Jerusalem and res
cue the Holy places from the hands OF
the Mohammedans and other nom Chris
tan peoples who held possession of the
Holy Sepulchre and other sacred places.
For that group of billionaires in the east
who are financing the assaults of the
Eighteenth Amendment to call this branch
Of their group Crusaders is a huge joke.
These modern Crusaders are out not to
find the Holy Grail or redeem q sacred
place but TO recover the beer mug and to
reopen the the ill-smelling saloon, to re-
establish the Sordid beer garden. to bring
back the vicious dance halls and all the
other by-products Of the beverage liquor
trade. There is no doubt that if the
Eighteenth Amendment were repealed the
immediate result would be the return Of
the saloon with al its degradation and
social ruin.
But this is not the real objective Of the
aforesaid billi0naires. Those conscience
less. greedy rich ore hoping to ree5tablish
the 1iuuor trade with q heavy tax upon
every. beer mug which they hope to make
take the place Of income tax and other
levies on business, thus shifting the bur-
den Of taxation from wealth and prosper
Gus business that are amply able to pay
il. back on the poor, the drunken and de-
graded. A more deYilish scheme was never
concocted by wealth in the history OF
humanity.
This billboard poster is advertising
from. for, and by the devil. In the armor
that straddles the horse is the Devil him
self.
The beverage liquor trade is an exploit
tation of human weakness and sin for
sordid gold. There is not one redeeming
feature in the business of making and
selling Intoxicating beverages. 1t always
was. is. and always will be the complete
embodiment of the devil to organize the

The Crusaders mounted on their pla-
tire horses are riding to utter rout and
defeat as did the Crusaders of the middle
ages. Those old-time Crusaders met the
bone-dry SaracenS who were the prohl-
bitionists of their day. WhlIe tnose Old
time prohibitionists did not drink intoXl-
eating liquors they literally swallowed the
Crusaders. Many of the first crusaders
were children and immature peoples VINO

of the vets is accompanied by increase in the

Special Investigators.
Anchorage Times.)

It occurs to The Times that Uncle Sam has expended lot of unnecessary money and energy
 on official Alaska visitations this Alaskans
 are pleased to know that their Territory is deem led sufficiently important at Washington to require this sort of special consideration and they are pleased to meet members of Congress and the high Government officials who are entrusted with the important work of Investigating; but the money required to finance such trips would do the Ter lrtory a lot more good if it expended on public works that would provide employment for
 Alaskans during off
 For very long time numerous of the Federal Departments have been fairly well represented in
 the Territory by Washington appontees who spend la large part of their time in the Territory every year and who annually prepare vouminous reports for the enlightenment of department heads mem bers of Congress and others who sufficiently interested to read them. The information contain
 led in such reports is accurate and virtually every activity in Alaska from the time the Terri tory acquired from the Russians. And when
 additional information is needed for any purpose there many department workers regularly en- ployed in the Territory who have both the time and the ability to supply it. at no extra cost to the Government. But in spite of these available facilities the Government persists in sending emis-
 sares to the Territory on costly special missions
 while really needed Federal expenditures within the Territory are subjected to drastic curtailment.
 There is outstanding example of this sort of extravaganza in the presence in Alaska this
 summer of Assistant United States Attorney
 General whose special mission is to investigate
 District Judges, United States Attorneys and United
 States Marshals holding office in the Territory, especially those whose terms have expired and who
 are holding until the Attorney General can
 decide what to do about their reappontment. It is not enough that their records file at
 Washington it is not enough that there is Ma

 forming the Administration regarding the qualifica-

 go year after year but conditions in the Territory have not been improved by their coming.

MAKING PROGRESS.

That there many Alaska l930 high school graduates to matrculate at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines as there were 1929 high school graduates to matricuate in all colleges speaks well for the progress of Alaska and her college. It is good to know that more young Alaskans out for higher education. than heretofore and it is gratifying that larger percentage of them going to the Farthsst North college for that purpose.
 The circumstance that the student population of the Alaska College is getting larger each year is the proof of the deserts of that nstituation That after all is the acid test that demonstrates that the people are getting their moneys worth from this very worthy establishment.

IT IS THE SAME OLD FIGHT.

The menace to government and development in Alaska of the organized Indian bloc that votes Tn mass at the dictation of political boss, for the purpose controlling government in Alaska, is just as menacing it was before the Indian boss and some Juneau office seekers held their re- cent love feast and buried the hatchet The situa- tion is certainly not less baneful than it when C. T. Gardner and w. P. Scott were condemning it in unmeasured terms before the primary last April The circumstance that these candidates for the Leg slature, who last April feared the power of MT Paul with his bloc of 1000 more Indians that vote at his dictation propose to vote for him has altered the situation unless it is to increase the menace by increasing the size of the bloc The un-Amercan condition and the threat against progress is just bad, if not worse, than it was when H. R. Shepard and others led the fight against MT Paul eight years ago and as it has been continuously since then. The fact if 1t is a fact that few persons who have opposed control of Alaska by the Indian bloc and their allies in the past now supporting them has only aggra- vated the situation.
 AS the issues and candidates aligned for the election next month, there is only one cer- tain way to remove this menace, and that is to defeat the candidates of the unhoy combination of which MT Paul is the head And the only cer- tain way defeat them is to elect the Democratic legislative ticket.
 It is fortunate under these circumstances that the Democratic Legislative ticket is made up of in every way qualified to represent the people of the First Division in the Legislature strong CT or better balanced ticket than Allen Shattuck for Senator Mayor Thomas B. Judson and Judge Frank A. Boyle of Juneau and A. H. ziegler and E. L. Sampson of Ketchikan could not every well be selected in the Division Every one of these is of the highest character, is loyal to Alaska and her best interests, and of very fine ability.

LET THEM COME.

In another place appears intelligent comment by the Anchorage Times annent the Washington habit of special investigations of Alaska, and the suggestion that it is unnecessary because of the authentic reports that pour into Washington through regular chanels from competent and well-informed officials While the position would seem to be well taken, as far as the verities concerned, do not see any for Alaska to complain. With very exceptions, if any those investigators who have come to Alaska, whether from the Legislative the Executive branches of the Government, have returned to the National capital as friends of the Territory Alaskans to have the faculty of making friends Investigators have come here, doubt less with minds prepared to find everything incud- ing local sentiment awry They have gone back to Washington convinced that here is nothing too good for the people of the Territory

Westward Stock Raising.
Seward Gateway.)

There is one outstanding fact that has been learned by the stockmen of the Westward espec- ially during the last winter and summer.
 This is the indisputable truth that if stock are properly cared for during the part of the winter, particularly sheep, they will take on fat so rapidly the rich grasses of the spring that they seem to be transformed by magic.
 There seems to be splendid chance for the stock-raising industry out there with prospect of immediate increase in herds where experience has been satisfactory. This will be of financial con- cern to Seward at no distant date.

How Women Vote in Germany.

Before women the vote there was cur rent theory that their enfranchisement would in some obscure way, transform party politics But in Germany, where in many towns the men and women vote different-coored cards, there is actually statistical test of the direction in which the vote The figures give today are taken from Cologne and Wiesbaden, but where the statistics from other towns available they give sub stantially similar results. There is only ten dency which markedly differentiates the women from the men voters. The parties which are def intely religious in basis supported predomn- anty by women voters The common view that women tend to vote for the moderate parties and avoid the extremes has not very much to support it. In general the parties have been fairly equally supported by both sexes

year.
Trade Is Large
It is estimated that more than
100000 persons are waited on
each week at the stands in the
old market place. established 1913
years ago. On some days more
than 10000 have traded at the
counters during market hours.
The custom of trading at Cen
ter Market has become so in
grained in some families in the
city that generation after gen.
Grafton has gone to the big struc-
ture on Pennsylvania Avenue for
supplies. Many of these house
wives are now dismayed at the
prospect of having the place
disappear, as it will after Janu-
ary unless efforts now being
made succeed in keeping it open
for a few months or a year.
The nearly 200 merchants
at the market do a weekly busi-
ness amounting to about $175,000
it is estimated. This is in addi-
ton to about $4,000 worth of
business transacted on tn e
farmers line outside the market.
Dealers to Scatter
Many Of the customers at the
market have been doing business
with the same dealers for years.
The various stands in the market
have been handed down from
father to son, the same family
operating the stand for scores
of years.
All this will be changed under
the present plans, and the mar
ket men are preparing to scatter
in case their efforts to, preserve

to other markets and many will
simply go out Of business.
