THE NIGHT POLICEMAN PROPOSAL
The proposal for a night policeman in Nome during
the period from the arrival of the first boats until fall, at
least, which has been discussed during the past two weeks,
will be one of the issues coming before the City Council at
its regular meeting next Monday evening.
As to the effect such a move will have, let it be mention
ed that with several hundred strangers in Nome during
the summer months, and the record of past summer seasons
when petty larceny, and in several instances grand larceny
were committed, this year will probably be a re-occurance—
if no patrol service is inaugurated—and perhaps greater,
due to the larger number of incoming passengers.
Proper supervision and the services of a night police
man would do much to alleviate a condition which becom
es more obnoxious every month—and by that is meant the
question of liquor supervision and rowdyism. Since repeal
of the Alaska Bone Dry Law and the passage of liquor regu
lations permitting the sale of liquor in Alaska, drunkenness
and disorderly conduct has increased unbelievably. Very
little is being done about it. Public exhibitions of disorderly
conduct, with its fights and obscenities have been common
in Nome. Here is the opportunity to wipe out that condition
by the appointment of a night policeman who should be em
powered to preserve the peace and respect for law in the
community.
Another argument in favor of such a move is the
degree of protection afforded the tax payers from pilfering
and robbery. The economy of such an act may be question
ed, but if a policeman were appointed and he enforced the
law with efficiency and a dutiful purpose there is little doubt
that fines and moneys would be received by the city treasury
to a greater extent than ever before.
We believe it to be a necessary part of city government
to help protect the property and rights of the tax payers of
the community, especially this coming summer, when the
possibilities for disregard of law and order may be far great
er than for many years past.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
—
James E. Barrett, managing director of the Biltmore
Hotel in Oklahoma City, says: “Optimists are the fellows
who smile all the while and boost all the while.
“Too many cities have obstinate men—men who do not
hold opinions, but let opinions hold them.
“Narrowness of mind is the cause of obstinacy. The
obstinate man is never open to conviction. He grumbles at
the weather, at people, at the newspapers, at the Chamber
of Commerce; in fact, he growls all the time.
“An optimist always sees some good in the other fellow
and respects his opinion. He believes that every cloud has
a silver lining and he is always ready to boost business.
“Why not be an Optimist ?”

SON OF TIMBER MAN IS
KIDNAPED TACOMA ON
FRIDAY NO WORD YET
(Continued From Page One)
cd until about one thirty p.m. when they called the school
and then learned that a member of the school boy patrol was
the last person to have seen George as he trudged across the
street from the school which is in an exclusive residential
district near the Tacoma Stadium. The search then began
in earnest.
A crowd of school mates massed in front of the Weyer
haeuser home reported seeing a special delivery postman
motorcycle messenger call at the house about 6:15 p.m. last
night. The man refused to answer when asked his mission,
after leaving the house they said. The Tacoma police were
notified of the boy’s disappearance about 3:10 p.m.
WASHINGTON, May 25—J. Edgar Hoover said that
the Justice Department agents were “working” on the Wey
erhaeuser case. Beyond that he said he could say nothing.
The chief of the bureau of investigation would not say there
had been a kidnaping but it was indicated by the official sil
ence demanded by the undisclosed details of the disappear
ance.
TACOMA, May 25—The report is current throughout
the city that the messenger delivered a ransom note which
threatened death to the lad should the matter be made
known to the press or the police, and that the amount de
manded was two hundred thousand dollars. Officials re
fused to comment. It is known however, the Justice De
partment agents have been called in, four of them from
Portland. Airport employees said that W. K. Bowling,
Seattle agent was also here.
