FOREIGN FLAGS AGAIN FLY OVER
RUM ROW
Relaxation of the efforts of the anti
rum fleet on the Atlantic has been
followed by the appearance on Rum
Row of several liquor carriers flying
English and French flags. Determi
nation to violate the American laws
against liquor importation is persis
tent and will be continued so long as
there is prospect of financial rewards.
Secretary Hoover recently estimated
that intoxicants imported in 1924 in
bootleg fashion totalled $40,000,000 in
value. Probably the amount brought
in this year will be much less on ac
count of the activities of the anti-rum
fleet, but still it will run into many
millions. The problem of combatting
rum pirates, who frankly accept the
challenge of our government and who
even are said to-be building an armed
high-powered fleet to combat the coast
guard, is one of the most serious na
tional problems now confronting the
government, for it immediately, invol
ves the attitude of our own people to
ward law violations and law enforce
ment. But it is difficult to under
stand the make-up of any American
who sympathizes with the efforts of
the outlaws to commit what amounts
to piracy on our coasts under the
shelter of a foreign flag.
THE AMERICAN DOLLAR SPEAKS
, TO EUROPE
Foreign nations sometimes have de
rived some satisfaction from denounc
ing “dollar diplomacy.” Just now
they are getting a view of the dollar
diplomacy from a different angle. Am
bassador Houghton spoke to Europe
in plain words the other day—and
Europe sat up and listened. He said
in effect that unless peace based on
good will is reestablished in Europe.
American aid in the reconstruction of
the continent—monetary as well as
moral—will cease. Since the Ameri
can dollar is considerable of a diplo
mat in post-war affairs, and since Eur
ope in great measure has held its war
debts owing us rather lightly while
at the same time trying to borrow
more money—here was an instance
when a continent gulped down an Am
ericas ambassador’s remarks, even if
they were not relished. Billions of
dollars have been poured into the
treasuries of Europe since the war,
and though there is no means of know
ing how much of this total was spent
for armaments and other war prepar
ations, it is no secret that large num
bers of men in European armies "were
equipped and paid with American
money. Ambassador Houghton says
—and he has the approval of Presi
dent Coolidge—that this must stop if
further American loans are expected.
It is a policy that the country will in
dorse.
A REDLANDS, CAL., minister and
congregation attempted to read the
Bible from Genesis to Revelations in
twenty-four hours and discovered that
the task took sixty-nine hours and 15
minutes. The information, no doubt,
will be of value to the senatorial fili
busterers.
MOVIE STARS as a class are sus
pected by many persons of consisting
of ivory above the ears, but not so.
One of them whose name thrills the
heart of flapperdom, recently made
a feature picture at a snoozing little
burg in Florida. With an elongated
vision he foresaw that he would make
the town famous among the colony of
plutocrats that gravitates down that
way. He acquired unto himself all
the lose real estate in the vicinity.
With characteristic disposition, the
| Florida terrain went up in price. When
he finished the picture he sold out at
a profit of $500,000—which is a neat
sum, even for a screen hero. Even
William J. Bryan, who also hates the
filthy lucre, could not have done bet
ter.
THE CITY ATTORNEY of Portland
has advised the city council that dogs
can not be prevented from barking or
roosters from crowing by city ordi
nance, nor can their owners be held
responsible for maintaining a nuisance
if the animals exercise the functions
of nature. The only legal means of
redress, he says, is for the council to
pass an ordinance baring the animals
from the city limits. Thus the con
; fbct between the country, which God
j made, and the town, which man made,
| goes on.

Bushels of Confetti
and Yards Serpentine
Ordered In Seattle
Mel Holben, a member of the con
cession committee for the Big 4th
of July celebration has wired to Se
attle for 500 pounds of confetti and
3,000 miles of colored serpentine.
He also made a personal call on
the merchants of the city to ascer
tain the condition of their stocks of
noise appliances. The result of his
little excursion in the stores pleased
him to the extent he was assured
ample devices of this nature are al
ready in stock.

and sane” Fourth of July will be car

MANAGER CHAIN

INSPECTS PLANTS
YOUNG GENERAL MANAGER, 28
YEARS OLD, VISITS SEWARD
ON TOUR OF INSPECTION OF
ALASKA CANNERIES.
OPERATES 12,500 STORES IN U. S.
Expects to Return to Seward by the
Fourth of July and Participate In
Seward’s Gigantic Demonstration
of the Glorious Day.
Haakon Beyer Friele, general man
ager of the A. & P. Products Corpo
ration, a subsidiary of the Great At
lantic & Pacific Tea Company, of
Jersey City, N. J., was among the
prominent visitors to Seward the
past week, en route to Bristol Bay
to inspect five canneries his compa
ny own and operate to the West
ward. He is returning to Seward
by July 4, departing on the S.S.
Northwestern, which will be in port
at that time, for Southeastern Alas
ka where he will look over the four
plants his company own in that re
gion. Accompanying Mr. Friele was
the company’s attorney, Edw. Allen
of Seattle, who is making the trip
as a vacation.
Mr. Friele has been in the sal
mon packing business since 1917 and
joined the present company in 1920.
In 1922 he organized the canneries
they now operate in the territory.
For the two years following or until
last year, he has been representing
the company in Europe as purchas
ing agent.
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company, Mr. Friele said, is now op
erating 12,500 "Cash and Carry”
stores, all East of the Mississippi and
that 70 stores a week are being op- i
ened by the company at the pres
ent time. In two years time, in 1927,
Mr. Friele said the company fully
expected to have 20,000 stores oper
ating all over the United States. The
Pacific coast will be invaded prior
to that time, it is believed.
All fruits, vegetables and many
other products are no\v purchased
on the coast and sent East to sup
ply the gigantic chain of stores;
the entire output of the nine Alas
kan canneries is sold from the
shelves of the stores, it is stated.
The company is, by far, the largest
business of its type in the world.
Over 37,000' employes are listed on
its payrolls.
The owners of the chain store sys
tem are John and George Hartford,
but it was their father who in 1865,
conceived the idea and started the
business.
Have You An Extra
Bed In Your Home?
No one lias yet got in touch with
General Chairman Swetmann of the
4th of July committees with regard
to the housing problem which will
confront the city on the arrival of
the hundreds of out-of-town visitors
during the Big Celebration. The citi
zens of the city are asked to notify
Mr. Swetmann, if they are called
upon, whether they have an extra
room or bed, providing there is an
overflow from the hotel which at the
present time seems inevitable.
