HUNDREDS RIDE
new TRACKLESS
TROLLEY CARS
Service Formally Started on
South Meridian line by
Railways Company.

Trackless trolley service today
formally was inaugurated on the
South Meridian street line, replac-
ing street cars, as part of the
100000 ten-year improvement plan
Of the new Indianapolis Railways.
Hundreds Of city, county and
state officials and leading citizens
were guests of the street railway
company and rode on the new type
equipment in the parade of the
fifteen new trolley buses over the
South Meridian street line at 1920
today.
Regular service will be started
with the new cars Sunday.
The guests were welcomed by
members of the South Meridian
Street Civic Club at South Merid-
ian and Morris streets.
Cars Have Pneumatic Tires
The cars, operated electrically
from overhead wires, are equipped
with pneumatic rubber tires and
are steered like a bus, permitting
the operator to swing around OBJ
structions and to pull to the curb
to take on and discharge passengers
outside the business district.
The company's guests on the first
ride today were impressed greatly
with the comfort, luxurious appoint
ments and smooth and rapid &C
celeration of the new trans.
They are the very latest develop
ment in street railway equipment
and have many remarkable features.
Among these is the arrangement
whereby a passenger can not be in
Jured by the automatic doors ac-
cidentally closing on him. The doors
automatically stop closing as soon
as they meet an obstruction, and a.
bell rings, calling attention of the
operator.
Jerks Are Eliminated
Smooth acceleration is obtained
through automatic machinery which
steps up the speed by minute de-
grees preventing passengers from
being Jostled. The cars are operated
by two foot pedals. one for starting
and one Tor stopping, just as IN an
automobile.
The trackless trolley cars are to be
used on the Riverside route, COM
blning it with the South Meridian
line in one through route, as soon as
overhead wiring is completed on the
Riverside line, probably within two
weeks.
The last street car was operated
over the Meridian line "Wednesday
night, gasoline buses being used on
the route Thursday, Friday and to-
day to enable linemen to clear away
the old street car wire.
Loop in Downtown Zone
Pending completion of the River
side line wiring, the trackless troll
ley cars will use the following loop
IN the downtown district:
North on Illinois to Indiana ave-
nue., west on Indiana to Capitol.
south on Capitol to Maryland, east
on Maryland to Illinois, south on
Illinois to end of the South Me-
ridian line.
The regular 7-cent street car fare
will be charged on the trolley /
BUSES, with four tokens for quar- |
ter. Service will be provided at
more frequent intervals than I'M
der the old street car system.

Prohibition--Suspicion
 By James R. Little

One of the great evils caused by prohibition is found in the fact that a large population of our country towns are giving up, and have given up their homes and taken apartments and housekeeping rooms; that they have more freedom from domeS- tic duties and more time for social life, and night parties where you Whisper Moon- shine" because this age likes speed, and the night whirl O. publicity better than the quiet and privacy of a residence they can call their own. The lawful use of these apartments and boarding houses is for most pec- pie while in transition; but as a terminus they are in many cases demoralization, utter and com- rlete. That is the point at which families innumerable have be- gun under prohibition to disin- tegrate.
 There never has been a time when so many families-healthy and abundantly able to support and direct homes of their own. But how can they do it under prohibition? They have left home and taken permanent abode in these public city estab- lishments. It is an evil where young girls and boys are thrown into the society of rooming house bootleggers, for without boot leggers, few of these rooming houses can operate and pay their rent. In these public caravan saries the demon of gossip is apt to get full sway. All the roomers or boarders run daily the gaunt- let of general inspection-how they look when they come down in the morning and when they get in at night, and what they do for a living. They whisper!

The geese have passed these parts and are now along the Copper and Yukon Rivers be- ginning to fatten up for their annual fall trek to warmer climes. The geese bring nothing
 to Alaska and leave only their droppings, then fly south where they become the target for Southern sportsmen.
 Not unlike the geese, the an- nual pilgrimage has been on to the Alaska fishing grounds. Five
 thousand tons of foods and sup plies for ten canneries alone in Bristol Bay; 2,70O Alaska Fish ermen who contribute nothing to it's support and who only fat

 MT. Business Man! Are you getting a part of that 5000 tons of supplies go through your books to add to your business? |? Is any part of the earnings of the 2,700 San Francisco fisher men going through your tills? Not a dime! What do you owe the Alaska Packers Association or the California Packing Cor Iporation that you must lose all Isemblance of independence and bow your heads in servile sub mission to their federal-paid representative Henry OMalley?
 Without going any farther along with these ideas, we sug- gest that our readers go back and read the Declaration of h. dependence and ask yourselves If you were living in the days of the early colonial would you have had the spirit to throw off the yoke of King George.

AFRICA GIVES TO

A native evangelist of the West Africa Mission read all article in the Bulu news sheet about the economic depression in the United States and indi- eating that there were in Amerl- ca people who did not have enough to eat.

So. and So, must be a prohibi- tion spy, Stool pigeon" or a bootlegger, and who they re- ceive as guests in their rooms, and what they wear, and how they eat, and how their breath
 smells of moonshine, and what they do not wear, and how little
 they eat, and how much they
 drink. They count the telephone

 How long is he going to stay? Is he a bootlegger? A prohibition

 Has he paid his room rent? How
 much does he pay? Or perhaps
 he has committed some crime
 and does not want to be known.

Dernogogues

In the past elections in Alaska Dan Sutherland and others were accused by opposition press of being demogogue. A high sounding, high-faultin' term that most of the electorate does not understand as it comes roll ing off of the tongues of the professional politicians. Now comes along Alfred Smith Of New York, candidate for presi- dential nomination from the Democratic party who declares that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York is a demogogue be . 1cause of his recent speech to the public wherein he touched on issues before the campaign.
 In plain terms dcmogogue is ia man who misleads the people. Immediately following this charge by Alfred Smith, many leading papers, Republican and Democrat rallied back of MT.
 Smith. And because of this be '
 lated rally, word goes forth that
 MT. Smith is in fact being used
 by the Republicans to defeat MT. Roosevelt.
 It is hard to conceive of a big lclean man, standing four square on political issues de-
 liberately misleading the peo- |rle. In the case of Dan Suther- land, when that term was ap- piled to him by the Alaska pro- fessional politicians Dan had
 the support of the great majori- : ty of the people. And it has we'll
 been said that Dan is and always was a clean, upstanding man and politician. Yet according to lsome lights he was demogogue.
 It would appear that the reac- tionaries should find some other term to apply to men who have

Affect on American
 Life is Told

The white race in the Ameri-
 cas will eventually absorb the
 Indian race, and future Ameri- can populations will be consider ably influenced by Indian char acteristics, it was stated by Dr. A'es Hardlicka, curator of physi- cal anthropelogy, National Mu- scum, delivering the George H. Kober lecture at Georgetown University, Washington, D. c.
 There are about 100000 pure and mixed-blood Indians in the two Americas" he said. "In- dian blood is widely diffused, and this diffusion will continue until it becomes a general assimila- tion. Indian qualities and at tainments will exert no small influence on future American For this reason we should study the pathological and physiological attributes Of the Indian and his close cousin, | the Eskimo.
 The study of records left by early and late friars and mis- Sionaries, notes of travelling me- dical men, special studies by scientiests, and study of skeletal collections have revealed a con- oaratively comprehensive know edge of Indian pathological characteristics.

 The Fleet Starts North
 Across San Francisco Bay, at
 Alameda, the shipyard of the Alaska Packers Association is
 bustling with activity. All winter
 a considerable force of men has been working in the machine shops making necessary repairs and improvements. Twenty Salmon gill net fishing boats were also built for use in Bristol Bay, where fishing is carried on entirely by nets. The fleet of steamers is having it's final over hauling in preparation for it's run to Alaska.
 On April 1, the cannery tend CT "Alitak" led the fleet on it's annual trip North. The Arctic" left the next day, loaded with a contingent of approximately five hundred men and five thousand tons of materials for the can neries at Kodiak Island in Gen. tral Alaska. Six additional steamers will follow until a total of 2,700 men from San Francisco and a widely diversified cargo of supplies will be transported and distributed among the ten can neries located on Bristol Bay and Central Alaska. In four months the fleet will return to San Francisco Bay with the years pack of canned Salmon.
