HYDER, ALASKA, Oct. 18. 1922
Secretary of War John W. Weeks ■
has been much interested in the pro
hibition poll taken by the Litetary
Digest. He is a high official who
some time ago declared himself as
favoring the liberalization of the
Volsted Act. The other day in
Washington he was quoted as de
claring that the magazine poll had
already borne out his previously
expressed opinion that the country
wanted beer and light wines. Sec
retary Weeks is not one who thinks
that the present law should not or
cannot be changed. He, like all
other law-abiding citizens, believes
that when a law is not working for
the best interests of all the people
concerned that it should be orderly
and lawfully changed to meet the
prevailing sentiment. As time goes
on we rather expect to see the fed
eral officials, not only in Alaska,
but everywhere, admit that the
workings of the present prohibition
law are a sad disoppoiutment and
that a correction is absolutely nec
essary—Juneau Capital.
Having occasion to deposit a
coupla thou, in the bank last Thurs
day we sauntered out to that tem
ple of finance and were stunned,
nay, almost flabbergasted, to read
on the door a sign "Legal Holiday.”
Hurrying back home to consult
the calendar donated last fall by
the Poison Implement Company,
we received another shock. Fri
day, the 13th was a'so a legal hol
iday. The 12th is “Columbus Day,”
listed as a legal holiday in 31
states, (Alaska isn’t mentioned,)
and the 13th is “Farmers’ Day,” a
legal holiday in Florida. We trust
the good old U. S. A. will never
carry this holiday business as far
I as Mexico, where the 700-odd saints
j are each honored with a day of
rest, forcing the inhabitants to loaf
overtime on more than half of the
days, in order that no saint may
be slighted.
“Our Dumb Animals,” a Boston
publication devoted t.o—well, the
name expresses what it is devoted
to—says: “Our animal helpers
never go on strike.” To which we
reply bosh and piffle, likewise tom
myrot. Those sentimental theorists
evidently were never tdngled up
with a balky mule.
When a newspaper will devote
most of its front page and several
of its inside pages to an account ol
a baseball game, there is something
the matter with the mental pabu
lum of the managing- editor.
