WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 (UP)
The Fletcher stock market regu-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (UP)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
turned the airmail service over to
the army, as his administration
cancelled all domestic airmail
contracts in the belief there was
sufficient evidence of fraud or
collision to justify their termi-
nation.
Acting swiftly and going be-
yond previous predictions, Mr..
Roosevelt joined with Postmaster
General James A. Farley in driv-
ing home his order which affects
virtually every plane transporta-
ton company in the country.
Cancellation is effective at mid
night, Feb. 10.
The move by the federal gov
eminent came as the senate was
considering methods of dealing
with. William P. MacCracken, Jrs,
who yesterday defied that body,
failing to appear for trial on con-
tempt charges growing out of re-
moval and destruction of airmall
files from his office records. Mac
Cracker was assistant secretary
of commerce in charge of aero
nautics in the Hoover administra-
ton.
Actual orders of cancellation
were issued by Farley after sew
eral conferences with the presi-
dent Decision to annual contracts
was reached, it was understood,
Immediately upon receipt of a
ruling By Attorney General Cum
mings that such a step would be
legal.

claring an emergency and calling
on the secretary of war to pro-

mail service an integral part of
the post office department.
The cancellation amounted to
withdrawing all government sub
sidy from the air lines of the
country. Officials declined to dis
cuss the possible effect on passen-
ger air service. The army planes
are not expected to carry passen,,
gers, except possibly in isolated
cases. :,

The Liquor Control Regulations.
Petersburg Press.)

Last Saturday the Territorial Liquor Board issued the regulations for the sale and possession of liquor in Alaska We believe that the new rulings will if properly and strictly enforced be satisfactory Absolute and strict enforcement is entirely necessary for the complete of the new regulations. Liquor unleashed and with little restriction is literally dyanmte-liquor under strict control has been known to work out satisfactorily in other portions of the world, hence why not here.
 It is hard to determine now just how successful the regulations will be. It depends mainly on two things First, strict enforcement and secondly the ability of whoever sells the liquor to the public to use good judgment in aiding the conducting of a perfectly orderly establishment.
 The clause in the regulations which reads Tt shall be unlawful to sell liquor to any person under the age of twenty-one years" is an excellent one. Hitherto anyone eighteen years or over was per mitted in beer perlor, and person sixteen years of age if accompanied by his parent responsible guardian could also be sold beer.
 That portion of the regulations which prohibits hard and distilled liquor from being sold upon the premises beer is likewise a wise one.
 After May l. 1884 we all judge just how successful the regulations will be. The primary object should be to keep everything under control from the very start, otherwise liquor will become a monster hard to tame.

WILL IT BE SENATOR LONGWORTH?

Ohio political writers say that Mrs. Alice Roose- welt Longworth is being promoted by number of her friends for United States Senator to take the place of Senator Fess in that august body There is no question that Mrs. Longworth would add color to the Senate and certainly she would not lessen either it's intellectual standard it's statecraft ability But somehow the conviction comes that those who sponsoring the plan have failed both to consult her and to read her "reminiscences.
 Mrs. Longworth knows her Washington inside And out. She knows her Senate For years she has sat in the visitors gallery and proved by her own experience the way to have fun and exercise influence This fact is borne out in almost every page of her book and her own view of it is summed up neatly in the last sentence about the National Capital when she wrote: The show is there for us, and we might well get what entertainment out of it."
 We strongly suspect she much prefers being an amused well interested spectator to an actor in the cast.

LET'S MAKE IT SMART TO LEGALLY
 DRINK LEGAL LIQUOR.

Tuesday Alaska Prohibition repeal becomes legally dead During its life of 16 years there has grown up a generation that got it's knowledge of liquors strong and mild ilcitly The older generation con- tinued it's drinking illictly. Both grew accustomed to prohibiory laws and restrictive regulations and both violated them the occasion arose. It was considered smart to beat the law and outwit its enforcement agents It produced philosophy that not merely queer it was not healthy It engendered contempt not only for the Prohibition laws and regulations but also disrespect for other laws and regulations.
 There are many young Alaskans who have attained their majority since 1918 who until the amendment of the volstead Act last year never tasted genuine beer. There many today who do not know what matured, aged American whiskey tastes like. Yet they have acquired a taste for bad moonshine that mostly unfit for consump- tion by either man or beast. Some of it was as pure it's makers could produce, but none of it was really good whiskey.
 After Tuesday all of us can forget that false philosophy which grew out of Prohibition. It will be harder to do than most people imagine. In some of the protests against the system of legal sale set up by the Board of Liquor Control it is in evidence People complain that there isn't enoug regulation, that enforcement will be difficult. Yet after all, the system is simple The Board hasn't ndulged in a lot of thou shall nots" In plain terms C mas set up method O1 competitive prlVaUe Sdle Its few restrictions aimed to prevent sale by the drink and consumption in public places. Not possessing attributes of divine origin, the Board cannot hope and people ought not to expect that it's regulations perfect But errors can be cor rected immediately they shown to exist
 The machinery for enforcement of it's regula- tions is the that for all of our other laws enacted by the Legislature. We have Federal officers who warrants and other processes upon those charged with violations. City officers also have the authority Enforcement should be easier than attempting to enforce Prohibition The latter met by public indifference and in instances public antagonism. Now the public ought to be interested in seeing that the regula- tions for of liquor enforced. If it becomes necessary to prosecute under them public support ought to be behind the enforcement officers
 However if the public appreciating the forward step that has been accomplished in getting local control of the liquor traffic in place of Federal control does its part in observing the regulations little enforcement effort will be required. After May l, it will not be illegal to possess to sell and to drink alcoholic liquors if done in accord with the Boards regulations They are sufficiently b- eral to permit anyone to have and drink what he wants. Our part in making the system a success be accomplished in full if make it smart to of the bootlegger and his k is at an end.

"Inflicting' Ideas.
(New York Times.)


 A recent article in The London Times professed to deal with "The Lessons of History in frankly realistic way. It really written largely from militarist point of view and went unreservedly to Napoleons theory of the big battalions always winning and always being right. According to this writer the chief lesson of history is that men with the best weapons inflict their ideas the world This doctrine which admitted to be of brutal simplicity" stirred the well-known historian MT. A. F. Pollard in his retirement at Milford on-Sea.
 He wrote brief reply, denying that Alexander the Great and Caesar could be taken the only true opponents of what history teaches" He re- called the old saying that Greece, when de- feated won triumph over the victor, and affirmed that Plato and Aristotle inflicted ideas the world than Hector Lysander. He added that Jewry became of world importance only when it succumbed as nation in arms. The implied point of the offending article that democracy and parliamentary institutions have fallen into hope less decay, and that the emergency everywhere calls for strong man armed. But MT Pollard rejons that the institutions and safeguards of liberty which have been the chief aids to modern civilization were not inflicted by "weapons"-unless, indeed the best weapons themselves ideas The brief but pungent statement by MT. Pollard is more gatfy- ing sign that mary Englishmen of weight are pre- pairing, in the face of frownng world, to stand up for democracy

Make Drunk Drivers Carry Insurance.
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattleo

(Daly Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 Out of the countless recommendations made at a recent convention of "drys' suggestion is particularly sensible It urged that laws quiring compulsory auto insurance will afford the public about the only protection that be ex- pected from drunken drivers. It shown by figures covering many accidents that drunken drv CTS, as class are financially irresponsible are the chemically careless drivers The statement made, and supported by fact, that in the great majority of accidents studied in which drunken driv CTS figured, those drivers had no insurance, usually did not own their car and that many of them had borrowed the money to buy their gas and booze.
 We agree with the recommendation that com pulsory insurance must come Before any drunken driver is finally released after his fine and jail sentence, if such imposed he she should be compelled to take out insurance to protect the public. They likely to repeat.s The public would benefit far if such requirements could be imposed by the court than it does through the flnng of offender and turning the fine into official coffers.

THE CARELESS PEDESTRIAN.

In considering the toll of motor accidents and very properly blaming careless incompetent driv- ing for the heavy loss of life, there should not be overlooked the role of the pedestrian. Of 29Ooo persons killed last year in automobile accidents in the United States, according to the Travellers Insurance Company. l3440 nearly half of the total were pedestrians. And of that number more than one-half killed in accidents where the chief responsibility rested on the victim. In other words. most of the pedestrians killed by motor cars last year practically committed suicide through
