SOMETHING IN IT AFTER ALL
There must be something in this anti-prohibition
talk after all. When the most denselypopulated areas
of the country go overwhelmingly on record as fav
oring repeal of the 18th Amendment or modification
of the dry law, then the rest of the country better sit
up and take notice. From all indications, it won’t be
long now.
The dry fanatics slipped the thing over during the
war hysteria when people didn’t stop to think but vot
ed blindly in a mistaken idea of patriotism. Now after
ten years of terrible experience and time to think calm
ly and dispassionately, they are reconsidering that
hasty action and preparing to rectify that error. In the
meantime the country has developed a crime and offi
cial corruption cancer in its very vitals that will take
years to cure.
But the end of this tragic farce is in sight. The
handwriting is on the wall for everyone to read. Just
as sure as the sun rises the revolt against prohibition
is coming to early victory. Just as sure as this country
was founded on the principles of liberty, freedom and
tolerance, are we turning back to a sane conception of
individual right. Dictation of reform-mad bigots will
cease and the era of the undercover, pussy-footing;
evesdropping, mistrust will end and the festering sore
of crime and corruption will be cut from the body
politic.
OWN YOUR OWN
Somebody suggests that apropos of this bear
killing agitation which Frothingham continues to agi
tate, wealthy sportsmen might maintain their own
game preserves in Alaska.
He hadn’t gone into the law exhaustively but it was
his idea that one might take up a 5,000 acre grazing
iease and maintain wild animals for his own shooting.
Whether or not he could keep the bear and the moose
on a friendly footing, until he got tliere with a rifle, he
didn’t say.
But anyway, it seems like a grand notion.

Kanakanak Industrial School
is in the throes of a diptheria
epidemic which started in Sep
tember. There has been one
death, but at this date, Octo
ber 16. several new cases have
developed. An airplane was sent
in with antitoxin, but not in
sufficient quantity to take care
of the number of cases affected.
Dr. Borland has charge of the
government hospital at Kana
kanak and advises Superintend
ent Gardner that staff of both '
school and hospital are doing
their utmost to control the dis
ease, but all inmates have been
exposed.
