GUARDING THE COAST
Notwithstanding we claim to be about as enlight !
aned as any people on earth our government in oui ;
jiame does some mighty unaccountable things.
lake our prohibition layout for instance and look
where we stand alter 10 years of experiment whici
-has disrupted the nation and has caused 50 percent oi
mir good people to watch the other 50 percent of oui
heretofore good citizens. We have more than doublec i
crmie? prostituted public officials, increased the con 1
sumption of liquor—most of it rotten—instilled disres !
peel for law in the breast of every citizen, spent mil-!
-Sons, maintained a whole fleet of rum runners ant j
«ooast guarders; all helpful legislation shoved aside foi J
discussion of the enforcement problem, and so far we 1
rfcave gone nowhere except down hill.
And all that got us to thinking about the Coast
-Guard here in Western Alaska where ships are being
flattered into pulp and human bodies broken against the
reefs with no one near to* aid them. Apparently all the j
available ships are patrolling the Atlantic seaboard to!
see that they don’t bring in some more hootch.
There seems to. be two ways of guarding the coast j
kat the one in which we are mostly concerned is the!
one we haven t got. We would just as soon a few cases!
'.might trickle into New York or Boston if they wouk
just bring one of those ships off the patrol and set it
-to protecting shipping up in this part of Alaska. A few
cases more or less down there wouldn’t make 'em any
dri nker but a few ships and a few lives more or les:
•up here mean a lot to us.
HONEST ABE
_
'They called him “Honest Abe.” They tell how hs walket
three miles to return a few pennies of over-change !
thats the kind of men he was.
There may never be another Lincoln. But we, whe !
observed his birthday yesterday, may, at least, grate !
fully follow his precepts and example.
Today’s large four-page paper carries just as much !
neves space as the former small size eight-pager, strange
as it may seem.
A short cut to fame as a writer is to first become
.President of the United States.
Washington seems to have a “panther” scare. May
ne it was the Tammany tiger nosin’ around.
_To err is human; also to hatch up an alibi about it.

FIRE HALL FIRE
Though nothing to be ashamed
of yet it was rather laughable
when on Tuesday afternoon the
fire hall was the scene of a near- j
blaze. The house company quickly
put an end to that with buckets j
of water. With the prevailing high j
wind, which passed into oblivion
Tuesday night, danger from fire *
hung over the town like the well J (
known sword of Demacles.

trip of the season to Seattle in j
