AMERICAN LEGION AGAINST THE
KU KLUX KLAN
Of course the American Lesion
went on record against the Ku Klux
Klan. The American Legion is com
posed of young men who went to war
for their country. When , they went
forth they left behind all comforts
and opportunities, accepting the hard
ships and risking their lives. They
found at the front and wherever
duty called them other young men,—
young men of all races, colors, reli
gious faiths and sections of the coun
try. They were Jews and Gentiles,:
Catholics and Protestants, whites and
blacks—and copper colored—they all
were from the North, South, and
West and East. All fought on an
equal basis, sharing common hardships
and risking life for a common cause.
Under the circumstances it was im
possible for racial, religious or color
prejudices to survive.
The Legion accepted what was
known as the Michigan resolution,
which read:
“We consider any individual or
group of individuals or organization
which creates and fosters racial,1
religious or class strife, or takes
into its own hands enforcement of
law to determine guilt or the in- .
fliction of punishment, to be un
American and a menace to our lib
erties and destructive of our funda
mental laws.
It rejected the radical resolution (
denunciatory of the Klan by name and
in specific terms and the pro-Klan ,
resolution offered by an Oklahoma
delegate. However the resolution
adopted was plain in its meaning and ,
saved the necessity of proving charges
against the Ku Klux Klan—Exchange.
Associated Press dispatches state
that Canadian Yukon has cut the
transportation knot by shipping its
booze in cases labeled fruit. Collector
of Customs McBride says this is not
true. That no such shipments are go
ing into the Yukon, over American
Territory. Without going into the :
merits of the question Yukon has quit
hollering about a booze shortage and .
all concerned appear to be satisfied, i
So let them have their bananas. j 1
Correct this sentence: The Bureau 1
of Public Roads will establish a dis- £
trict in Alaska with headquarters at
either Seward or Anchorage.
PROCEEDINGS SHOULD NOT STOP
(Juneau Empire)
The circumstance that Mrs. Isaac1
Hamburger has asked that proceed-!
ings stop against the policeman who
killed her husband and seriously;
wounded Mrs. Davis by shooting at a
suspected shoplifter who was running
on a crowded sidewalk should not
cause the Presecuting Attorney to let;
up in his purpose to see justice done.
Prosecuting Attorney Douglas should
proceed until former Policeman Short
is locked up in the State penitentiary
where his incarceration will serve as
a notice to men with a little tempo
rary authority and a pistol that people
have rights that even a policeman
must respect. Policemen are suppos
ed to capture offenders against the,
law alive, except in those rare cases ■
where life is in danger. They are;
supposed to protect innocent people in:
the use of the public thoroughfares,
not shoot them dwn.
The need for the punishment of;
Policeman Short was emphasized witlij
in a few hours afterwards when a pro
hibition officer named Gordon O’Hara,
within a few blocks of the spot where
Short committed his crime, on a crowd
ed street, fired four shots at a fleeing
man, suspected of being a bootlegger
and twenty men narrowly escaped
death. He should also be proceeded
against.
One can understand and sympathize
with the desire of Mrs. Hamburger to
escape from the spotlight with her
children where they may at least have
peace while they bear their grief, but
something must be done to protect
nnocent people from the army of law
enforcement officers who stalk about
with loaded pistols in their pockets,
and a desire to show their authority.
The long hiatus without a train is
fast wearing Seward’s nerves to a
Tazzle. Almost the entire population
will be on hand Wednesday to wel
come the first train through for near
y a month.
Practically every chamber of com-,
nerce in the Territory has endorsed
he proposed division of Alaska. An
chorage was first to go on record as
avoring the move, with others tailing
ilong at intervals.
Seattle is taking considerable inter
est in Alaskan affairs, the latest move
aeing to help map out a program for
:he Alaska raliroad the coming year,
rhe Sound metropolis 'claims to have
19,000 former Alaskans within its boi
lers, and evidently believes they are
nore competent to run the Territory
:han we who are about to leave it.
NORTHWESTERN DUE 7:30
It is reported that the steamship
Northwestern will arrive in port about
r: 30 tonight. The vessel will go to
Anchorage this trip, having a quantity
if perishables aboard. It is reported
hat the steamship Alaska, sailing
Saturday may go through to Anchor
ige, but if the railroad is in good
hape it is not probable.
Try the Gateway a month, $1.25.
