CO-OPERATION WITH OFFICIALS
The Juneau Empire, which has in
curred the enmity of the labor unions
of the territorial capital, was recently
presented with a communication
which it felt obliged to ignore. It
dealt with the avowed purpose of the
unions to “enforce” the liquor law.
The Empire, in answer to the furor
aroused, prints the following very
sensible editorial, which may be ap
plicable to other communities than
Juneau:
“If any organization is in the pos
session of evidence that will fasten
guilt for crime on any one it is its
plain duty to go to those in authority
and present the facts and an offer of
co-operation in law enforcement. It
is more particularly its duty to do
that if it has any evidence of syste
matic violations.
“Further than that if the communi
ty wants the prohibition laws en
forced in Alaska it is the duty of the
community to co-operate with those
charged with authority.
“This means that when good citi
zens have evidence of the violaton of
the dry law they should give it to the
constituted officers of the law and
back it up with testimony in court
to juries.
“It also means that when good citi
zens are called to serve on juries
they should render verdicts in ac
cordance with law and the facts—
they should convict where guilt it
proved.
“The federal authorities have ar
rested many of those accused of boot
legging, and in fact 80 per cent of the
cases where the accused have pleaded
not guilty and asked for jury trials
they have been acquitted.
“And some of those who are loudest i
in their criticism of the authorities
for ‘not enforcing’ the dry laws have
been on juries and helped to acquit.
“The Empire knows, the people of
Juneau, including those who criticise,
know that those in authority prose
cute whenever they can get the evi
dence, and they are always on the
lookout for evidence.
“It is time for more co-operation,
more good citizenship, and less carp
ing and destructive criticism.”
HARDSHIPS ATTENDING
ENGLISH MINE STRIKE
LEEDS. Eng., Aug. 30 (by mail).—
Some of the Yorkshire miners who
went on strike in the great coal field
there when 250,000 men quit work
in July to protest against the govern
ment award for piece work, seem
hardly satisfied with the result in
view of the fact that two months will
be required to restore some of the
mines to operation.
The Yorkshire Post quotes one of
the miners as saying:
“Fancy grown-up men like us quar
reling about the price of a packet of
cigarettes more or less a week. It’s
enough to make a cat laugh or a man
cry—if he has children to feed.
Principle is all right when it doesn’t
mean loss of pay. I wish our lead
ers felt it the same way, but their
wages go on all the same with ex
tras for attending all meetings. ‘Fine
words butter no parsnips,’ and we
can’t fill our youngsters’ stomachs
with principle.”
