late steady drift whereby the
local units are being deprived of
their governmental functions and
the states assuming them. This
can be remedied so long as the
states themselves do not go too
far in turning over to the nation
al government their reserved pow
ers.
Our educational system has
been training us for about every
thing else in the world but how
to govern ourselves. In this we
have not maintained progress.
Western civilization as a whole
seems to be. following the same
course-has been advancing in
every line but that of government.
In this she has been losing stead
lily. ignorance of the government
tai set-up and a failure to realize
and appreciate the privileges and
corresponding responsibilities of
local self government are the
causes of the breakdown in this
field. We can not escape respon-
sibility for this state of affairs
by the cry crooked politicians. 4"
Every man who takes public of
tlce is directly or indirectly crea-
ture of the people. The people
themselves are responsible for the
general moral plane of public Of
hcers. Every public office "is a
public trust" and it is sad COM
mentary to continually excuse
ourselves on the ground of
crooked politicians" Let the peo-
PIE take an interest compatible
with their responsibilities-let the
press OF the country begin a pc
ilod OF constructive criticism of
our political ills and stop its ever
lasting crooked politician" talk
.et Inem recreate that interest
that started US on our road and
the crooked politician will be neg
llgioie. There will always be some
crooks in politics as there are in
every class of people. but there is
no reason why there should be q
larger number. "

LOCAL GOVERNMENT VS..
GENERALIZATION -
Editor The Times-NeWS:

Editor The Times-News:
The greatest minds of our west
ern civilization are in agreement
on two things, to wit: that Rome
gave US the law-led the way to
our highest concepts of civil lib
erty; that Athens led the way in
preparing us in capacity to enjoy
these liberties. What our civiliza-
ton would now be, had not the
Roman law been handed down to
us and Grecian educational insti-
buttons been preserved, no one
can tell, but there might not have
been any western civilization -
up to now.
1t will be remembered that
when the Gauls sacked Rome DUR
ing her early history there was a
city named Caere, which. despite
the hazards involving her own
safety, opened her gates to the
vestil virgins and the things sa-
cred to the Gods, thus affording
asylum, and security for the
things most dear to them. That
was a long time ago, but in that
act Caere cast her bread upon
the waters, and it returned after
many days. ".'
Jealous of, and smarting under
the might of the rising Roman
power this city along with many
other Etruscan cities, Joined in
league against Rome. They were
defeated by the Romans and their
cities destroyed-all save Caere.
The Romans remembered the asyl-
| um offered to her people in years
passed, and in appreciation of
that event Caere was spared the
destruction that was meted out
to the other cities in league
against the Roman power. The
Caereneans were allowed to main
tain their city, were given certain
liberties Of action in governing
themselves as to constitute the
first local self-goyerning commur,-
ity, certainly of the Roman world
receiving governmental authority
from a superior or central govern
ment. 'r.o-."
When the Romans delegated
these powers to Caere she created
a new system of government
Caere was called a municipium
and this system was broadened
,, and extended until it covered the
Roman world, and now permeates
all western civilization and much
OF the east, though varying much
in different parts as to extent
The municipal system Of govern.
rnent is adjudged to be the back
bone fof the American system.
This system varies. That is 10
say the state delegates its powers

cal units sphere is and insist that
neither shall encroach upon the
other-when we are able to do
the same thing with relation to
state and national government.
we will be able to check the rapid
progress of Capitalization, which
if not checked soon will have so
advanced that all semblance of
our early conceptions of govern
ment for this country will have
disappeared.
AS illustrations of the trend
one may take here and there, an
example: the child labor amend
ment (now proposed to the
states); the state trying to have
the national government support
in part the public schools; the
extension Of federal aid beyond
all measure Of reason; taking over
the cost and maintenance of roads
by the state; state administration
of the schools; the county govern
ment act; crop curtailment acts;
processing taxes; NRA. and many
others dealing with both state and
national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of pow
er. l believe in most cases, these
things have been made necessary
in large measure through failure
of the people themselves to appre-
ciate, through lack of information
and education on government in
general. the heritage that has
been handed down to them-the
heritage of local self government,
hewn out by the Romans, polish
ed by the Greeks, and made i'm
mortal in the Declaration of In
dependence and in the constitu-
tion of the United States. When
local government fails, OUR gov
eminent fails, when OUR govern
ment fails, we fail. s

Editor The Times-News:
1t is time our good women and
all of the United Dry forces were
waking up. We need some very
definite information just now.
Some of the candidates for the
legislature have stated clearly
their position on the prohibition
question. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Sherard is wet. I am sure no one
would knowingly do any candidate
an injustice. To clear up matters
we believe that it would be fair
to everybody if Mr.. Sherard would
answer, through The Times-News.
these two questions:
How did you vote on the prohi-
bition issue last summer? How
did you vote in city council on
legalizing moving pictures and
the playing of baseball on Sum
day?
With these questions answered,
the church people and the dry
forces could vote more intelligent
ly next Saturday. We feel that
Mr.. Sherard should welcome the
opportunity to clear up these mat
tiers in the interest of good gov
eminent.
l am told the vets are running
three cars night and day to elect
their candidates. The dry forces
need not fan themselves to sleep
and then wake up to regret their
negligence later. Now is the time
to strike while the iron is hot. Let
me earnestly urge every Chris
tan woman and every friend to
the cause of temperance to go and
vote their honest, sincere convic-
tions next Saturday.

COLORFUL FIGURE OF '97 DAYS
 RETURNS NORTH FOR SUMMER

J. II. Brooks the reliable pack er,' one ot the most colorful figures of Skugway during the wild and .soolly days of the kIondike stam- peue. arrived in Juneau last week, rom California, making his first visit to Alaska in almost 30 years, according to the Empire. He is ac- compauied by C. L. Roberts of Seat tie, who was a cash boy in a San francisco meat shop in which .,.ooks was a butcher back in 1893.
 Brooks has made several comfort able fortunes during his colorful career. He is back now to go over the old trail between Skagway and Lake Bennett, recalling old scenes and days long gone.
 The first of his oldtime friends ue visited on arriving here was Gov. ooun ". Troy. The latter was ac- countant Ior n.m in 1898 and 9S, when business was booming and contra, ts for freighting ran high in the thousands of dollars.
 Thousand Dollar Bets
 Brooks was the biggest of the pack train operators by that time. He ran a string of nine pack train animals, some 2jO head of livestock oyer the trail between Skagway and Lake Bonnet. He made money fast and spent it freely. A born gambler, he was willing to take a chance on most anything, and Ghousand- dollar bets on the high card were just ordinary wagers for him.
 He operated his outfit out of Skagway in 1S97-98-and '99 and then moved to Atlin after the com ing of the railroad. He continued in the freighting business there un- til he went to Vancouver in 1905. He engaged in the transfer and hauling business in that city which was just beginning to boom. Again he accumulated a. fortune and pros pered until the auto trucks drove him out of the field.
 Buys Stock for U. s.
 During the war he purchased livestock for the Canadian Govern ment first and, after the United States entered it, bought for the American Government He made more money. In recent years he has been stock ranching in California until very recently when he dis posed of his holdings and started back to Alaska.
 He and MT. Roberts will spend several weeks at Skagway collecting data on the pioneer days of that community and the White Pass Trail
