“PASSING THE BUCK”
Calling upon President Coolidge to
enforce the liquor laws, on the theory
that the “President is the only man
who can meet the present emergency,
Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsyl
vania, declared in an address Satur
day that responsibility for the flood
of liquor released from the govern
ment warehouses and from Canada,
should be laid at the doors of citizens
who have not supported the law and
to inefficient law enforcement.
Pinehot's plan is to have the States
look after the "home brew,” and the
“blind pig” problems and authorize
the president to suppress the “whisky
rebellion” as did President Washing
ton in the early days of the govern
ment.
Incidentally, the Pennsylvania exec
utive expressed his belief that cer
tain agents o* die government not
only wink at violations of the law, but
are acting as “graft collectors.” He
declares politics, however, to be
chiefly to blame for the black dis- j
grace of law defiances in many of the |
States. “Politics first, law enforce-'
ntent a poor second, has been the or
der,” he asserted in his address, and
he added that “measured by the re
spect accorded it,” the eighteenth
amendment has failed, “and the reas
on is that no sincere, intelligent and j
concerted nation-wide effort has been j
made to enforce it.”
There is a great deal of truth in '
Pinehot’s charges and a deal of rub-1
bish. He has a problem in his own
state in trying to enforce the law in
Pennsylvania, and he has played poli-1
tics and evaded his duty, despite his
spectacular and bombastic speech. He,
has, however, tackled the problem!
with more vigor than most state of-1
ficials. The question arises as to:
whether he is confessing failure in his ]
own state and is trying to pass the '
buck to the Federal government.
There seems to be no question as to
where President Coolidge stands on
the issue. In an address this week
Prohibition Commissioner Hayes de
clared that “President Coolidge now
stands four-square on the enforcement
of the prohibition law. He is no less
whole-hearted regarding this matter
than the late President Harding. The
department of justice is also dead in
earnest,” and he added that the presi
dent “has supported me 100 per cent,
even as President Harding did; he has
given me magnificent support in our
efforts to support the law.” Yet he«
said he doubted whether the friends
of enforcement have any adequate
conception of the amazing onslaught
which is now in progress and is un
der contemplation.”
The problem is not so easily solved,
perhaps, as the Pennsylvania govern
or suggests. He scouts the notion
that so great a nation as the United
States cannot enforce its laws. There
is good reason for such a statement.
But the solution will not come from
“passing the buck,’’ as. New York has
done officially, and as Mr. Pinehot is
about to do.
Over in Cordova last week a boot
i legger was found guilty and fined,
whereupon it is alleged certain attor
neys chipped in and paid his fine. No
one thing could give the citizen so
] profound a contempt for the law as
an occasion of this kind. The only
matter of regret is that the offender
did not draw six months and the at
torneys pay his fine.
This is the season of the year when
many congressmen return from Eu
rope, where after a hasty view of con
ditions through a car window, they be
come sufficiently acquainted with con
\ ditions to advise those countries how
to conduct their business. We have
had ’em here in Alaska and know the
breed.
This Is the season of the year just
before election, and we may expect
our officials to become greatly inter
ested in the prosperity of Alaskans.
Among other things we have with us
the annual formation of a government
steamship line and several other im
portant matters, including allowing
Canadian steamship companies to
carry the cream of the passenger and
freight business at the expense oi
southwestern Alaskans.

STARS AT THEIR BEST

THE NEW LEATHER PUSHER SERIES,
BETTER AND MORE INTERESTING
THAN EVER. THIS ONE NAMED,
“Young King Cole”
ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS
OF THE SEASON AT LIBERTY
Unheralded, a feature of supreme
value was shown last night at the Lib
erty (and will be shown again to
night). “Forget Me Not,” with Bessie
Love and Gareth Hughes, is a play
that everyone should see. It shows
what can be done by the silent drama.
It is beautiful, both in acting and
story, every detail matched and har
monizing. The artistry of Dickens
and Rembrandt combined. Simple and
yet perfect minute details.
It is exquisite, yes, surpassingly
Humoresque in pathos, with the added
value of many parts and characters,
delightful in themselves, all combin
ed in one wonderful story.
In the opinion of those who saw it
last night its equal has never been
seen in Seward before. A screen
■ symphony; story-acting, staging, ar
1 rangement, presentation, harmonious
| and suggestive setting and scenic ef
fects. A masterpiece that no lover of
beauty and fineness should miss.
