WHAT PRICE LIBERTY
It lias always been the pride and boast of America
that it is '‘the home eof the free.” But just how free are
we? With our hundreds of thousands of state and fed
eral laws, to say nothing of city ordinances, what citi
zen can go through a day of 24 hours without consiously
or unconsiously violating one or more of them?
Yet. “ignorance of the law excuses no man.” And
vet, again, not one official in a hundred is familiar with
all the ordinances which he is shown to enforce.
It is tine of course, that the ever increasing com
plexity of our civilization—or is it civilization?—ap
pears to make new laws necessary from time to time.
But is there any justifcation for the orgy of law-mak
ing with its inevitable accompaniment of law-breaking
which this country has witnessed in recent years?
The most disturbing result of all this is that really
Mich serious crimes as murder, burglary, arson and the
like, are seldom punished, while the ordinarily decent
citizen is harassed in his business and in his private
life b\
Ti
a
maze of lays and beaureaeratic regulations
which require an army of officials to enforce. And at
that thev are net enforced
It looks as though va are paying a tremendous
price tor government, the principal object of which ap
pears to be the destruction of those fundamental rights
ur
refathers f uglit and .died.
{)ne identified Paris bouleardier doesn't prefer
blondes and certainly lie is no gentlemen. Making the
chance aouaintanee of one Mile. Annette Cozo in a cafe,
he took her for a stroll. Seated in a park, she removed
her hat, disclosing her very light colored hair. “A
blonde!” shouted her escort, then threw her across his
knee and after giving her a few sound spanks lie fled.
California never lets up in its efforts to coax visi
tors to stay. The press tried to flatter the Coolidgcs in
to believing that the motor ears had “Cal” on t: lr
license plates as a personal compliment.
Now that we have weather bureau stations est
ablished in Alaska it is about time for them to begin
ripping us off when the home brew variety of states
zephyrs are headed this way.
When Ghandi says he would rather be known as
a Salt Thief than as a Holy Man, he is properly think
ing '*f the name’s publicity value.
By the way, what’s become of ‘Teaches”?
An Independent Feeling
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank accont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comfortsi
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create,
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.

[ near-by regions are known to be j
! mineralized and there is a strong j
j basis for believing that the un- j
! surveyed area may also hold min- ;
i eral deposits. If the results of
this exploratory survey affords;
1 promising indications, it is pro-j
able that the Geologic Smvcy will1
undertake extensive topographic
and geologic investigations in the 1
tract in the near future.
In the Yukon region a geologic j
reconnaissance party is in charge
of J. B. Mertie, jr., and will con
duct surveys in the unmapped
tract lying north of the Yukon
south of the Porcupine river, ad
! jacent to the international bound
i ary. This is a large tract, and
only a small part of it can be
! visited during the coming field
1 season, so that Mr. Mertie’s main
j object will be to procure general
j information as a basis for plans
for more comprehensive surveys
i in succeeding years.
The chief Alaskan geologist will
1 carry on general studies of recent
mineral developments in certain
mining districts of the Territory,
| with the aim of gathering facts
essential to prepa^ng an annual
: statistical canvass and maintain
: ing a general administrative over
- sight of the Geological Survey’s
work in Alaska. Detailed plans
| for this work can not be stated
at this time, as they will neccs
] sarilv be dependent upon the
! field conditions and the time
' available for such studies.

One of the few cases on record
in which a man has indulged in
embezzlement and gambling and
got away with it is that of Lome
Mallory of New York. He stole
$10,000 from the Guaranty Trust
Co., while an employee; tok a va
cation; won $11,000 on a horse
race; repaid the amount of his
theft, and was placed on probation
by the judg who heard his confes
sion.
