WHAT A REMEDY!

We of Wrangell have apparently overlooked something in not adding our protest to the general protest that has gone up from Alaskan towns at the proposed increase in freight and passenger rates on the Alaska Railroad.
 Not being on the railroad belt, we have perhaps felt that we were not concerned, and that we have enough troubles of our own.
 But Alaskans should begin to un- derstand that it is case of sink or swim together. The welfare of the territory as a whole should be the concern of every community
 All the strength Alaska can mus ter, regardless of sectional differ ences, is little enough to combat what seems to be a determined ef- fort to ruin the Territory. When

build that school at Metlakatla, and The Brotherhood told him to go ahead and build the school there if he wished, but that they would not send their children to it. Follow ing which the Brotherhood neeom- mended the following places: Mc- Henry's Inlet on Etolin Island. Shoe maker Bay, Mason Camp in the Wrangell Narrows. Someone else recommended Loring and Cape Fan shaw. The last two places did not get any consideration, for they were not fit for such a school. McHen- the running and the choice lay be- tween Mason's Camp and Shoemak- CT Bay. Mrs. Mason wanted 2,500 for her homestead rights. The Wrangell Camp fought tooth and nail in the sitka convention for Shoemaker Bay. We got the en- dorsement of the convention for this site, but it was reconsidered and on a parliamentary trick de- feated, but it had the sanction of almost every camp.
 The information that was given the Bureau of Education was inval- uable, and so with this background to work from the Wrangell Cham Der of Commerce comes to the front and takes all the credit for securing this school at Shoemaker Bay We don't care much, only we want a part of that credit for doing our share to build up a better town. We mothened and fathered the idea before the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce even thought of having such a baby.
 Who proposed the idea of an in dustrial school, anyhow? A good topic for comment.
 Very respectfully yours,

has the support of the majority of the voters of the United States. Be- fore national constitutional prohibit tion began operating, 90 per cent of all the townships and rural pre- cincts of the nation were under pro- hibition by virtue of local and state restrictions. Furthermore, 75 per cent of all the villages and S5 per cent of all the counties in the Unit ed States had been made prohibi- tion erritory-largely by state laws. Prior to national prohibition 25 states had adopted prohibition by referendum vote, and eight states had adopted prohibition by legisla- tive enactment. The person who says that prohibition was "put over" as a surprise movement does not know the facts"
 "All advance in civilization calls for a limitation of individual liber- ty The more socialized we become, the less personal liberty we have. Robinson Crusoe could point his gun anywhere when he was alone, but when his man Friday came on the scene there was at least one place where his liberty was chal- lenged.
 "A Christian man, and it is in his name the Church speaks, can give up his personal liberty for the the good of others. It is a poor argument for a Christian to use that he must claim his rights. For loves sake he can surrender his rights. The end to which Christian ity is driving is the Kingdom of God, and such a Kingdom implies sacrifice for the good of others"
 "As far as the church can see at present there is no substitute which will make for a better solution of traffic that has ALWAYS refused to obey any law that has sought to put it under social control"

ABSORPTION TO STIPULATION
 POINT
fFrom the Seward Gateway)

(FrOn the Seward Gateway
 From where we sit it is hard to figure out how the management of the Alaska Railroad, Department of the Interior, hopes to increase rev. enues of the railroad by the mark ed increase in freight and passen- ger rates which has apparently been definitely adopted as the new policy.
 The increased cost of living in Alaska will of course fall upon the ultimate consumer who Is already standing about all he can bear. In other words, the ultimate consumer must absorb some more when he is already at the saturation point. He's the goati
 More directly, however, it looks like the road is fixing up a nice line of competition for itself With the new rates it will be cheaper to fly in from Seward, Cordova or Val deg to Fairbanks and save time rather than going in by way or the Alaska Railroad.
 It will also be about as cheap to go in over the Richardson Highway and in less time.
 Small mine developers who have been struggling with the proposi- ton of getting their ore to shelter, may now have to throw up their tails in despair and, perhaps, bust into the bootlegging business in an effort to make an honest" living.
 There will be less chance for new lumber development.
 Prospective farmers will be hit square in the nose.
 It will probably be reflected in the tourist traffic.
 That's about all the tough breaks we can think of at this writing.

OPEN FORUM
ABOUT PROHIBITION

Editor of The Sentinel:
 In view of the present agitation over the Prohibition issue and the many misleading statements and opinions concerning the public atti- tude toward Prohibition, would like to present few facts.
 The following statements on the Eighteenth Amendments are ex- tracts from the official deoalration of the Administrative Committee of the Board of Christian Education Of the Presbyterian Church, and were prepared by Dr. Hugh T. Kerr, pres ident of the Board of Christian Edu- cation. The entire statement is too lengthy for reproduction.
 "Chief Justice Hughes has said: Everybody is ready to support the law he likes. That is not in the proper sense respect for law and order. The test of respect fon law and order is when the law is upheld even though it hurts "
 "The Presbyterian Church con tends that the Prohibition Law is the best solution of the liquor traf- fic it knows. It is perfectly aware of the fact that things are not ideal, that the law is broken, that people question it's validity and wisdom. Perhaps thene never will be an ideal solution. But if a better solution can be found, if a better law can be enacted, that will further ad- van temperance and reverence for law, then the Church will follow the leading of that new light. Ger tain facts, however, are as clear as sunlight to the Church. The saloon must never come back. The govern ment must not go into the liquor business. If there is to be any mod ification of the law. the Church wants the friends of temperance and not the brewers to determine the new line of advance"
 "The Prohibition Law represent ed at the time of it's adoption the majority of the voters, and it still

legislation harmful to Alaska is at issue, legislators are little concern ed what portion of the Territory is to be harmed thereby. It is up to us of Alaska to fight each others battles if we hope to survive.
 As for the case of the Alaska Railroad, it seems inconceivable that intelligent men who had been actually on the ground could con slider. such a remedy. If any one of these men were engaged in pro- ducing a commodity, already selling at a high price, and he found his market too small to make his in- vestment profitable, would he be likely to consider a further increase in the selling price as remedy? He might, if his article represented a monopoly, but even then he would exercise bad business judgment, and to increase freight and passenger rates on the Alaska Railroad on the assumption that people have to pat ronize it, will simply deprive the railroad of much of it's present pat ronage, and certainly will prevent any increase in patronage.
 As usual Alaskans,, as our Sew ard contemporary says, will be the goats" Alaskans must learn that United we stand, divided we fall. J

RARE COFFEE WINS COUNTLESS NEW
 USERS BY FLAVOR
Amazing Popularity of Hills Bros. Coffee Tribute to
 Roasting Process

Years of experiment. by Hills Bros. have resulted in the origina- tion and perfection of the only Controlled Roasting process in use today.
 By Hills Bros patented process, the degree of roast is positively controlled. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster - about three pounds at a time-does not vary. The speed of the flow and the temperature remain the same, with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. This roasting method is to a large de- gree responsible for the frequent question, "Why is Hills Bros. Coffee always the same?"
 Comparisons show that Hills Bros. Coffee has a flavor no other coffee has. The ordinary method Sf roasting in bulk cannot insure a uniform roast because there IS a lack of control.
 The vacuum can, in which Hills Bros. Coffee is packed, keeps the coffee fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is completely removed from the can and kept out. Coffee does not stay fresh in ordi- nary cans, even if air-tight. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade mark -on the can. Sold by grocers everywhere.

WHO GETS THE GLORY2
Editor The Sentinel:

In your issue of January 1, com menting upon the activities and do- ings of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, you take all credit for securing the industrial school upon the shoulders of that Chamber. All very well. But was it the Wran- gell Chamber of Commerce which blocked the building of that insti- tuition at Metlakatla, or was it the Alaska Native Brotherhood?
 MT. Jonathan H. Wagner stated very sharply that he was going to
