Bad Defense

If East had followed the principle
that when both sides play the same
suit, one of them is crazy, and
simply returned his partners lead.
he would have defeated the hand.
Instead, he played his opponents
suit and let declarer romp Oh with
the game.

While South's jump to three
hearts was distinct overbid, North
had decided excess values and four
hearts would normally have been a
laydown.
West opened his singleton dia-
mond. Recognizing 1t as such, de-
clarer went right up with the ace,
dropping the queen from his hand,
played a small spade over to his
own hand and led the jack of hearts.
West played the deuce, dummy the
king and East won with the ace.
Now all East had to do to defeat the
contract was to play the king and
another diamond. whereupon West
would ruff and still have trump
trick left. But East was intrigued
by his 10, 9, 8 of spades, and in spite
OF the fact that declarer had played
that suit and hence shown that he
did not fear it, East promptly led
his 10 Of spades, which, Of course,

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM

Predictions that the hottest sub
ject to come before the present
legislature would be liquor problems,
have been amply realized. IN this
connection it is interesting to note
how far afieId we have come since
the repeal OF the prohibition law
was major topic OF discussion.
at that time the entire talk CEN
tered about a liquor store in each
community, whether the one store
should be controlled and operated
by the municipality, territory OF
federal government. No one suggest
ed anything else. But Repeal came IN
suddenly with no organized prepa-
ration to cope with the new stu
alton.
The legislature is now battling
for enactment OF laws granting
greater freedom to the liquor in
terests. Senator Walker, under the
guise of cocktail bars, wants liquor
sold over bars with wine and beer.
Senator McCutcheon authors mea-
sure to legalize sale OF liquor with
in the club rooms OF fraternal or
CARNATIONS. He names the Elks, Am
erican Legion, Moose, odd Fellows,
Eagles, Pioneers, Arctic Brotherhood
and Red Men.
Gov. Troy in his message to the
legislature said that one of the most
Yexatious problems with which we
are faced is the matter Of sale OF
liquor to Indians. He advocated a
permit system for both whites and
natives as the best method OF hand
ling the liquor situation. Senator
La Boyteaux would prohibit the
sale OF liquor to Indians, Eskimos
and Aleuts. Representative Ander-
son, following Walkers cocktail bill,
introduced bill providing for re-
ferendum OF Territorial liquor stores
TO the people.
If the members of the legislature
are unwilling to be put on the spot
in the liquor problemsi il they fear
the great liquor interests now cen
tering their influence at Juneau
and are opposed to small groups de-
termining the fate of all the people
then by all means they should sub
NIT referendum to the people.

NATIONAL BIRDS

Speaker Howard Lying, in the
House of Representatives at juneau
last week injected an international
note into a bid of House levity in
the discussion of a letter from Otto
Geist, University of Alaska archaeol-
ogist, urging passage of the bill re-
pealing eagle bounty payment.
Representative Davis remarked on
Geist's reference to the eagle as our
national bird" that Russia has
two eagles and Germany two for
their respective national emblems.
I'm just bit in doubt as to whose
bird this is, anyway
Straight faced, Speaker Lying
brought the House back to serious
business with the statement, "Those
birds over there are buzzards."

BOAT HARBOR CAN FREEZE;
THERE'S NO HELP FOR IT

JUNEAU - 1t may take a whole
year for Juneau to find out whether
it is building a small boat harbor
or a skating rink, but odds were
laid last night by Walter Robinson
who has lived for % years at the
site of the proposed project that it
will turn out to be an ice area.
If breakwaters, bulkheads and
fills are made as now planned, Rob
inson said, fresh water would be
backed up into the basin and would
freeze over in the winter. Not only
that, but it would stay frozen, be-
cause one of the breakwaters would
keep out the tide which ordinarily
would break up the ice and carry it
out into the channel.
City Engineer Milton Lagergren
said the same fears had been express
sed by others and had been passed
along to u S. Army Engineers VIII
are building the breakwaters. Their
answer Lagergren said. is that the
project has been authorized by Con
gress, the plans approved by the
War Department and nothing can be
done about the difficulty at this
late date The city will just have To
go ahead and build the boat harbor
and see what happens.
Robinson, who explained he hasn't
any interest in the matter and just
wants to pass his advice along to the
City, said the ice would freeze
around koats moored in the harbor,
would rise and fall with the tide
and would keep other small vessels
from coming in.

Citizens Five Years Ago Opposed
Private Ownership Liquor Stores

The Wrangell Sentinel in its issu,
of April q, 1884. carried an article
which in view of present problemi
confronting the Territory is inter
esting to read again The artiel,
follows.
What do you think about tn,

ton put to various representative
citizens of Wrangel1 this week. It Is
topic of much discussion these
days, judging by the ease with
which opinions were garnered along

With the PRONUNCIATION of regul.

troll board in Juneau much comment
has been passed, and many are out.
spoken in their dissatisfaction with
the way the affair is being handled
In order to find out just what the
public thought about it, the Senti-
mel assigned its "inquiring reporter
to the task of interviewing anyone
and everyone on the subject.
Most significant is the fact that
among all those interviewed, not a
single one seemed to favor the sale
of intoxicating liquor by private in
dividuals Fears were expressed that
competition among vendors would
lead to high powered craftsmanship,
with a natural tendency to increase
the consumption of liquor. Virtually
all were of the opinion that if there
was any profit to be made in liquor
the town should claim the lions
share.
Here are some of the expressions
on the subject:
Chas. Benjamin: Il am one OF
those who intend to see that the
town has something to say about
the way liquor shall be handled
One good feature about a munich
pal liquor store is, there will be nc
incentive to boost sales. If there is
any profit to be made, however, it
should be the town"
P. c. Mccormack: 81 haven't been
back long enough to become fam
iliar with the new liquor regulations
All 1 can say is that it should be
handled with care.
C. P. Kirtland. 1.-THE only salts
factory arrangement would be fol
the territory to dispense liquor, and
on a profit-sharing basis with the
municipalities. -"
Donald Sinclair: 81 would prefer
to see liquor handled by the terri
tory, and under a permit system
similar to that of British Columbia
or some of the other Canadian pro
/ yinces. | was in Toronto for three
weeks some time ago and the only

street was an American from Mag
ara Falls. The hours of sale should
be restricted, and there should be NJ
sales on Sunday. I won't vote fol
any territorial candidate who re
fuses to come out clearly ON this
subject"
Mrs. Warren Chisholm: THE
number of liquor dispensers should
be in accordance with the popula,
tion of each town. If the territory

handles it. the town should get part
Of the profit"
Thomas Dalgity: The territory
or the municipality should dispense
liquor and in order to pay the cost
of law enforcement. each town
should have its proper share Of the
profit This goes for beer as well
as hard liquor"
Ole Johnson. THE Territory

work out satisfactorily
l. A Olson. The territory should
handle the liquor. and the town
should share in the profits.
NJ o. Johnson: The territory or
the municipality would be prefer
able to private sales. The town
should be reimbursed for the add
ed cost of enforcement"
N. Nussbaumer: THE municipal
fty should be the sole vendors of
intoxicating liquor in Wrangell, and
the profits should be used to retire
the school bonds
Mrs. Wheeler: The most salts
factory way would be for the terri
tory to handle intoxicating liquors,
and reimburse the town for the eX-
pense of law enforcement
A Engstrom: q think the terri
tory should have complete control.
Regarding beer dispensaries. if the
regulations were enforced, all right.
Some of the dispensers have abused
the privilege, however No intoxi-
cants should be sold to habitual
drunkards or minors"
James Nolan: THE territory and
the municipality should eollaborate
in dispensing liquor, but in order
to keep the matter out of politics
the territory should WELD the big
stick. There should be a profit
sharing arrangement of something
like 65-35-the town to receive the
ldIS SNARE III Olu6I " pay the ca
ira cost of enforcement
Louis Paul: II think the present
system is the jinx."
H. Heinbockle: q would prefer
to see the town or the territory
handle the liquor and sell it at a
reasonable price"
Leo Mccormack. 81 think the ter
ritory should have complete control
and an efficient enforcement per
sonnet"
J. G. Grant, I'll be ready for bus

DR.. r. N. Scruby: ANY enforce
able law that will stop the wholesale
debauehery we have in Wrangell
since repeal is needed Prohibition
having failed, strict territorial con-
troll seems the next best. I doubt
that any form of liquor control will
be satisfactory. Some people will al
ways be hogs if they can get booze.
If the territorial liquor dispensary
control is politically controlled, the
Democrats will probably drink up
the profits"

BETTER RADIO RECEPTION
petersburg Press


After suffering, not altogether in
silence these many years, Petersburg
residents are now enjoying improved
radio reception. Credit for this goes
to the City Council for launching
the interference elimination cam
paign and engaging the services OF
A. M. Maulding whose intelligent
and conscientious efforts have,
among other things, reVolutionized
the attitude of apartment dWellers
in the business section. Not so long
ago there were times when the lat
ter, had they "obeyed that impulse"
would have tossed their radios out
the window without regard for the
shattering glass and its effect on
the upstairs neighbor, the family
cat or the landlord. Present recep-
ton in this section of former sound
and fury is such as to compare quite
faYorably with that to which folks
in the states are accustomed.
Before it equals the almost perfect
stage we shall doubtless have to
wait for the commercial adoption OF
the recently announced invention of
a Columbia University professor
which makes use of artificial radio
frequencies and thus eliminates all
interference due to natural radio
wave lengths.
If residents in other parts of the
town still fail to get good radio re-
ception they should ask the Main
Street people about things. They'll
tell you it can be had.
