"PASSING THE BUCK”
“Passing the buck” seems to be the
chief outdoor sport in New York
state in connection with the situation
arising out of the differences of opin
ion regarding the responsibility for
enforcement of the nationwide prohi
bition law. Mayor Hylan of New
York city, has promised to co-operate,
but in a letter to the Federal director
he asserts that chief responsibility is
upon the government.
“Enforcement of the Volstead act
is your iob in this locality and you
should go at it honestly. Do not
try to shift the burden on the shoul
ders of anyone else. Do not rip jhe
feather bed and let the feathers be
strewn to the seven winds and not
expect the peace officers to gather
them in. Keep the featherbed in
tact. Stop the liquor from coming
in at the port of entry so that peace
officers of any locality will not have
to go for the small violator. Get
the hootch and rum runner. The
people of tnis country are sick and
tiled of being humbugged. They
have been “hornswoggled” more on
the enforcement of this law than on
any other law that was ever placed
on the Federal statute books.
And whatever may be said on the
prohibition question, there is much
'ruth in the mayor’s assertion, even
though it looks as if he wanted to
doage responsibility for the enforce
ment of the law.
In his message accompanying the
approval of the repeal of the State
law for enforcement of the federal
prohibition amendment, Governor A11
Smith said:
Let it be understood once and for j
all tnat this repeal does not in the
slightest degree lessen the obliga
tion of peace officers of the state to
enioi’ce the Volstead act and warn
ing to that efiect is herein contain
ed as coming from the chief execu
tive of the state of New York.
All of which loses much of its as
sertiveness in view of the notice or
the corporation counsel of New York
city to the police department that its
members were iD nowise legally bound
to enforce the constitutional provision
in 'dew of the repeal of the State en
forcement act.
The ChrioJac Sciense Monitor re
tails that shortly befor ' ae signed
the repeal the governor had express
ed a desire to put my foot on a brass
rail and b'ow off the froth,” and won
ders whether he issued h’v "solemn
warning” with a view to “hornswog
gling the public.” “Eiihe,> he was ig
uorant of the tru<* significance and ef
fect of his action in approving the
repealing aci,” says The Monitor^
“or else he knew what :he effect
would be and when he declared that
it would not in any degree lessen the
obligation of the peace officers of Ihe
state to enforce the law he was guil
ty of hypocritical nisstatcmeni.'”
The tiuth is, as the federal direc
tor said in his reply to Mayer Hylan.
that ‘‘it is not a matter of helping
the government, hut of helping your
self. Law defiance is highly conta
gious and tne weakening o> l.:.v en
torcement at one point weakens the
entire structure”

When two bruisers can stand up
before an intelligent audience and
batter v'ach other up for a purse of
$300,000 what chance is there for a
printer to make a living?

VALDEZ ENTERTAINS EAGLE
PARTY WITH TRIP TO CANYON
Members of the Eagle party report
they were splendidly entertained at
Valdez, practically every auto in the
city being at the dock to take the pas
sengers for a trip thru the canyon as
far as Wortman’s. The Alaska also
called in at Columbia glacier where
the cameraman of the movie company
went out in a small boat and took
several scenes of the glacier with the
ship and passengers in the fore
ground. The trip up was very smooth
and pleasant, altho the party encoun
tered rain at Ketchikan and Juneau.
Philip Zharoff and George Ellwood,
residents of Valdez, are registered at
