Dean Emeritus U. of Wash. Will
 Ciue Brief Talk

A brief address which should be received with considerable interest by local residents and others, is scheduled to be heard in the Sew ard High school Auditorium next Monday morning beginning at 8 o'clock.
 pr. Bolton, Dean Emeritus of the University of Washington, will ar rive in Seward this evening from the Interior and will make a brief talk before the departure of the SS Alaska for the south.
 Dr. Bolton represents the North western Association of Secondary and High Schools and is in Alaska in this connection. The advantage of such an utilization, by the Sew ard High School, is that North western represents an organization of universities and colleges in six States and Alaska, and would per- init Seward graduates entrance without examination.
 In turn Northwestern is affiliat- ed with the North Central Associa- tion and of institutions of learn ing in 20 additional States. At the present time Seward graduates are eligible only to the University of Washington.
 Superintendent Glenn Rogers is of the opinion that the talk will not last more than IS or 20 min utes and will appreciate the at- tendance of all parents or others interested.

 TEMPERANCE VS.  PROHIBITION

Mob psychology instituted Pro-

 years of dsillusionment got us
 out of it and dethroned that in famous institution. We use the i word infamous advisedly, when we contemplate the train of evils ] hat followed in Prohibition s
 wake. We have but to an:mad- vert upon the nefarious acts of Igangdom, the baneful influence of ] the speak-easy,s the assassination x corruption of public officials, the sale of oft-times poisonous liquor Lat staggering prices, the wanton the arrogent attempt of these law
 breakers to dictate the personnel

 ize that Prohibition was truly in-
 famous All of these evils are the legitimate children Of that in- stitution. .4
 Now that <.the great experi- ment" is about to go into history as the sgreat American blunder, and that distilled, malt and vinous spirits may be lawfully manufac- legislate with the utmost caution, in order that the moonshiner and the bootIegger, With their conco- mitant evils, shall be no more. It is only too true that we have lost millions in revenue through Pro- hibition: that we have spent mill ions more in q purile attempt at the enforcement; that we are in sad need of funds to replenish the National treasury but what we need more than any thing else under this new situa- tion is law abiding sobriety. and taxes and liquor sales should be regulated accordingly.
 With the repeal of the 18th the old tax of S1.10 per gallon will go into effect un- til, Congress passes new legisla- tion on the subject, which will be about month hence: The new tax will probably depend upon how much revenue is needed to bal ance the budget. In order, how ever, to- make it,tunproftable for the moonshiner to supply the boot logger with his impure flow of nntaXed squirrel whiskey'' and to put the bootlegger out of busi- ness, the Government must, at all hazards, place the tax so low that they cannot compete with the legi- innate tax-paying d.stillers. This being done, from financial stand point, the government will be money ahead, as there will be little need for the otherwise large corps of revenue officials to watch for illegal distillation.
 The sale and disposition of liq- uor is also matter of major ini- portance. That the old time saloon will not return. is a fore gone conclusion Many European countries have handled the dis pensation and sale of distilled spirits to the end that temperance and sobriety prevailed. We can and will do likewise. It would be a sad commentary on American intelligence and ingenuity were 1t otherwise.
