GOOD WISHES FOR JOHN RICK.

In leaving for a brief vacation in the States, John Beck, who recently retired Manager of the First National Bank, carries with him the good wishes of his many friends and acquaintances. He is still President of the institution
 resident of Juneau for more than quarter of a century he always has been prominent in both business and civic affairs For upwards of l5 years, he was President of the First National. To his accurate knowledge of conditions, his sound judg- ment and his constructive policy may be attributed in large measure not only the constantly expand ing influence of the institution but also the steadily increasing success of many of its customers.
 As Manager of the Juneau Water Company, MT. Beck came into frequent contact with most residents of the community. Often his advice and counsel were sought and given neghbor and a fellow citizen

MORATORIUM ACCOMPLISHED.

There will be general rejoicing that the mora torium agreement for the aid of Germany has been accomplished. It is equivalent to lending Germany about $425000ooO which must be paid back with interest in ten years. The United States will, in effect furnish $246OO0,000 of the money that Ger many will retain at home for immediate use.
 Experts believe that this favor to Germany will prevent financial and possibly political and sociaD collapse in that country It will enable her to pay the interest and other obligations on billions of dollars invested in the country by private capital and to continue to make foreign purchases-par- tcuary foodstuff and materials.
 No one pretends that the moratorium is final set clement of Germanys troubles. These are almost certain to come up again when reparation and war debt payments are resumed. However it will pro- vide a breathing spell, and permit the country to get under way again the long hard climb out of the hole caused by the war.
 President Hoover and his Administration are entitled to lot of credit for proposing and carry ing to a successful conclusion this agreement. Credit also is due to opposition Senators and Representa- tives who stood squarey behind the President

ALASKA OUTLOOK GOOD.

Gov Parks's statement that he found business conditions throughout Alaska good is reassuring The Governor covered large portion of the Territory, His trip extended as far as Nome and included the country along tie Alaska ecoasts the Alaska Rail- road and the placer gold sections of the Fourth and Second Divisions. He is qualified to speak on the subject about which he talked.
 Prosperous mining conditions in the Territory and the favorable reports from the early salmon and herring fisheries will cause people to look toward the future with greater hope and lighter hearts. They will make easier the tasks that face each ndi- vidual
 The outlook in this section has been favorable all along, but it cannot fail to be of substantial benefit to local people if prosperity is general throughout the Territory.

Prohibition Not Paramount.
(New York world -Telegram0

There is nothing in the Eighteenth Amend ment which gives to it any greater sanctity
 than that afforded to the Fourth Amend
 ment, which makes explicit and plain pro-
 visions against unreasonable searches and
 seizures
 Thus Judge Guy L. Fake, of the present Criminal Term of the Federal District Court of New Jersey, in a scatching rebuke to a Federal Grand Jury which last week returned a presentment crticising the Federal Judges of the district for their handling of Prohibition Your presentment" declared the Judge speaking also for his fellow Judges, lis so iogicaly conceived, far outside your proper prerogaves and so subversive of law and order that the order of this court is that it be expunged from the files of the court"
 Here is a fine firm stand of the judiciary against the invading theory that Prohibition law is the paramount law of the Nation and that all other laws must yield to it in it's efforts to prove itself enforceable.
 No theory could be more pernicious. Prohibition has no right or claim to be tested under special favor and privilege never before accorded to any other law in the history of the country. No Pro- hibtion administrator agent should be encouraged to think that Judges will forge other laws to further the enforcement of this one. Judge Fake makes this plain:
 At times it falls upon this court to deal
 with appeals from the action of the Pro-
 hibition administrator, and when it appears that his action in rejecting or revoking
 applications for permits is arbitrary and
 capricous defined by our Circuit Court
 of Appeals and by the United States Su-
 preme Court this court will deal with the
 subject in the light of those decisions,
 whether such action part leads to
 restraint upon the conduct of such officer [ not ..a. azte si4 aaa sfa 1a#
 Even though there be lawlessness, scan
 dal and graft following in the wake of
 violations of the National Prohibition Act it is of as much importance that the con- stitutional rights of the citizen accused
 under that act be preserved as it is that
 an offender against the law be brought to justice
 In other words, if Prohibition cannot establish its claim unless it is given full right of way through all other law and statute much the worse for Prohibition. Such right of way can never be given. Ardent packers of Prohibition only show their desperation by demanding it. Prohibition law is law like other laws. Il must be weighed and appraised as such If the Eighteenth Amendment cannot be enforced without throwing overheard other parts of the Constitution then we must admit the possibility that there k something fundamentally wrong with the Eighteenth Amendment. The conflict must enter into the ap prasal
 These Federal Judges of New Jersey are to bt heartily appauded for refusing to put the Bencf at the complete disposal of Prohibition enforcement The noble experiment. has NOT displaced al other law of the land.

POLITICS AND DEPRESSION

Senator Dill OF the state of Washington returned a few days ago
from Europe. One of the first things he did after his arrival was to
tell how the anxious Europeans inquired of him just when the
business depression would lift; and how in his wisdom he told them:
mot till the United States gets another president" Just a neat way
of turning o a little more gas under the political pot
OF course a humble country editor would not dare to tell a great
senator anything, but we do hope that someone closer to the senator.
some of his constituents, perhaps, will tell him that politics is the
very thing this country needs anything else but 1t has been poltickled
and parthsanshipped and specalprvneged down to about the count
of eight "Our Country it's Of Thee" is just about ready to stagger
to her feet and deliver a n unexpected k c. to the solar picks of any
politicians Or stand-pat partisans who attempt to inject the old nause
ating gags that have served the whipcrackers for the last so years.
The U. S A. has plenty OF money, plenty of resources, plenty Of
potential wealth awaiting development plenty of men and women
ready to work for fair wages, o fair returns from industrial enter
prize.
Some things this glorious country has too much OF are: politics,
tariff, greed, racketeering, rebellion against law. collision with crime
and criminals, progress toward monopoly
A few Of Americas immediate needs are: a loosenmg up at the
fountainheads of wealth, an opportunity a fair and halfway equal
opportunity, if you please, for a fair return from labor, industry. and
their products; decisive majorties in both houses of Congress en-
dOwed with ambition above and beyond partisan politics Men and
women with the common sense, courage and disnterested patriotism
to give America the things that are patiently wholesome and just. Such
a Congress would, we earnestly believe, meet with prompt and willing
cooperation from President Hoover.
Senator Dill thinks Franklin Roosevelt, another New York demo
any other man the Democrats want, tell the country just what he
stands for and has stood for and see how he compares with Herbert
HooYers known record of principles and deeds.

OUR FLAG AND FLAG DAY

June IA, Flag Day, will this year direct the thoughts of every
good American to the future as well as to the past. The patriotic
citizen will be reminded that June "A, 1881, marks the 15Nh annivers-
airy Of the day when the Continental Congress- passed the resolution
officially establishing, as the emblem Of the United States, a flag
"of thirteen stripes alternate red and white" and that the union be
13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation.
But every patriot will also look forward to next year, when Flag
Day will take on a still deeper meaning as one of the key days in
the ten months nationwide celebration of the Two Hundredth Ami
versary of George Washington. According to the plans Of the United
States George Washington BicentenniaI commission, every American,
in every state and city of the country, will then be encouraged to
honor the flag with appropriate ceremonies and with a new devotion,
linked as it is with the life and labOrs of George Washington.
Historians may regard as unsupported by fact the story of Betsy
Ross stitching the first American Flag, but % one disputes the fact
that the legend has become part and parcel Of American folklore
In any case it is known that Washington had an intense personal
interest in the creation OF a national flag, and may have had a part in
its design. And no one disputes the fact that he accomplished more
than any Their American in giving that flag a meaning and in IN
furlfng it over a strong and united nation. In 1882 it will be the
countrys privilege to render new honors to George Washington's
memory, and new loyalty to this immortal symbol OF his greatness.
Meanwhile, this year, it is well to recall some Of the great dates
in the flags history It's first display by the Continental army was
on August 3, 1777, at Fort Stanwix, the present city of Rome, y T..
during an attack by the British. 1t was first carried into battle by
George Washingtons troops at Brandywine on September II. 1877
1t was first sauted by the British at the surrender of Burgoyne at
Saratoga on October II, 17T7. C. W. B c. Bulletin.

VALLEY FORGE
(From the Washington POST

From the Washington PosD
President Hoovers address to the Nation on Memorial Day
brings out in strong light the lesson OF Valley Forge. No one
reading or hearing that address will ever forget that Valley
Forge concentrates and hallows some of the nOblest qualities of
the human race. 1t was the Gethsemane Of Washington and his
ragged patriots. At that place the fortunes OF the Revolution
were at their lowest ebb. Man and nature seemed to conspre
against the fororn band which dreamed of creating an indepen-
dent and free nation. Nothing. was left in their armory but
faith and fortitude. BY the power of the spirit they faced and
conquered nearly every i'll that could assail the body and dis
courage the soul No outer aid or inspiration was given to
them in the form Of martial pomp, foreign help or comfortable
security. They shivered. starved and suffered one shock of dis
appointment and adversely after another, until they were re-
duced. to the extremity of barring their own hearts as shields
against the arrows OF death.
Nowhere in the annals of humanity is there a more gor-
ious example Of the triumph of the will over adversely. The
hearts that were barred at Valley Forge were fired by faith and
steeled by fortitude. All Odes and hymns clarifying the uncon-
queable will Of man, facing fearful odds and buffeted by fate

Distillate Kindling
Brings Usual Result

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Schubert of
Brockton were in Wolf Point yes
terday for treatment to burns re-
ceived when distillate, which Mrs.
Schubert used on the kitchen fire,
exploded. Mrs. Schubert was badly
burned on the arms and some on
her body. and Mr.. Schubert, who
extinguished the flames in his
wife's clothing, was badly burned
on the arms. They had been ac-
customed to 8 distillate to speed
up the morning fire, in spite of the
numerous disastrous explosions re-
sulting from such practice, but
this was their first personal ex-
perience with a distillate explos-
ion.
