THE LAW AND ITS OFFICERS
(Valdez Miner)
Since <he passage A the prohibition
law one of the commonest items in
the newspapers has been charges ol
graft or participation in the liquor
traffic by officers whose duty ir is to
enforce the law. Never in the history
of the country, if the newspapers are
to be believed has there been any
thing like it. Federal and local offi
cers alike have been implicated in vio
lations or attempts at violation ot this
Jaw. Men who have held responsible
positions for years on the police force
without the slightest taint attaching
to them, have gone wrong, in connec
tion with the illicit liquor traffic.
Until recently Alaska has been free
from cases of this character, but in
Cordova, recently two municipal po
licemen and a deputy marshal have
been bound over to the grand jury on
the charge of conspiracy to violate
the prohibition law. It may be that
they are not guilty; that on trial they
will be cleared of <he charge, but
there is ample evidence that someone
is guilty.
As a matter of fact the prohibition
law enforcement, despite the propa
ganda broadcasted by the Federal
Prohibition Bureau, is not being en
forced with any degree of success.
The number of persons who are vio
lating the law and escape the penal
ties thereof, are far greater than those
who are caught, and this is true ol
no other law on the statute books
The reason for this situation is plain
The law does not meet with populai
approval. A majority of the people o
the country are opposed to it. and wil
not lend their aid to its enforcement
I'isrespect for the prohibition leads t<
disrespect for other laws; for all law
and the consequences are bound co b<
senous.
There are two simple remedies, one
being a modification of present day
law; probably the easiest and simplest
and the other to overrun the country
with prohibition officers until the traf
fic is completely crushed, this plan
would according <to present indications
necessitate another batch ol officeis
to watch the prohibition officers, and
another ounch to w’atch them, and so
on, ad infinitum. The advantage of the
latter plan is that k would provide '
jobs for the greater part, if not all of
the people of the country.

MILK PLANT PAY DAY
BIG CHEHALIS EVENT
CHEHAL1S, May 31—Tuesday was
payday at Chehalis at the two milk
plants there. The streets were lined
with automobiles, and banks and bus
iness houses did a flourishing busi- j
ness. The milk supply at the two co- j
operative plants and at the condenser |
has materially increased the past 30 |
days, owing to the fine pasturage now j
available for cows.
U. S. Marshal H. P. Sullivan arrived
from Anchorage on yesterday’s train
| and left last evening on the Admiral
Evans for Seldovia and westward
points to give the once over to the
deputy marshal’s offices.

cAnr/ Hi washaUt too!*
Walls fhal make you w
"sing at your workl
IsN’T it wonderful what a little paint will do?
How it seems to flood the room with sunlight,
sweep it with breezes, and leave you singing over
the dreariest, “drudgiest” task a kitchen can know!
For finishing every part of the kitchen there is a
Fuller product just suited to its needs. Fuller s
Washable Wall Finish can be kept clean by oc
casionally wiping with a damp cloth. For wood
work, there is Silkenwhite Enamel or Decoret,
and for floors, Fuller’s Rubber Cement Floor Faint.
And the nicest part is that you can easily do the
work yourself and enjoy it thoroughly.
For 74 years W. P. Fuller & Co. has been pro
ducing paints, varnishes, enamels, wall finishes and
stains. A local dealer has them. Our Service De
partment will gladly gwe you advice and mail a
little “Home Service” booklet without charge.
Whatever your painting need, W. P. Puller &c Co.
makes a paint for the purpose.
