People forgetful when they pick heroes and bestow adulation for heroic per- formances that the real fountain of in organized well doing in the workers in field or factoy office trade or mine or transportation line-—the hewers of wood and car- riers of water, the organize managers and financiers who keep the turning They clothe and feed the world and provide the neces- sities dispensed by charity werkers and compen- sation for the dispense They equip and pay armies in the field, furnish the ‘“gate"” the prodigies in athletics and the sta of stage and screen and forum. They buy books, pport artists of all kinds and pay the salaries of statesmen. They keep the colleges and universities open, supply the needs of the Red Cross, the Salva- tion Army and the Churches, feed the starving, clothe those who suffer and drive disease to earth, About everything that is worth while, in the last analysis, is charged back and back until it reaches organized production. After all, those who are doing the great charitable work are simply spending something somebody else earned. They give personal but often paid for that. This is not meant as a knock for the heroic flg'flren to whom we do homage but is meant ag an appreciation of the average men and omen who spend life-times in the humdrum of every day aff going to work in the morning and returning home at night, raising families and making it possible for all the good things to exist. They re usually unknown to the world, but they ha the privilege of knowing that they are doing their duty as they see it, and a clear conscience is worth more than tem- porary place in the spotlight or applause. are sometime achievement is or or whee for services are e CAN'T OUTGUES In an editorial commenting of Prohibition enforcement agents in stopping the automobfle of a Juneau business man while he was driving from his home on Glacier High- way to his business in town, the Seward Gateway declared: If they can stop your without a warrant, why can't you on the sidewalk and go your pockets? Before the Gateway comment had reached A PROHIL upon the action automobile they stop through containing the Juneau the Prohibition hold-up . men had done that very thing right here when they held up miner walking from the mire to his home and family. They may not have gone through his pockets, but they felt of them from the outside, which in law and principle and effect, the editorial a is, same thing. WOMAN G. O. P. LEADER IS WET. Mrs. Ruth Pratt, N York society +and Republican leader, who represents a fash- jonable Park Avenue ward in the New York Board of Aldermen, has announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for Congress in her District, one of the few Republican districts in New York City, on a wet platform. She says woman The modification or repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment or any other change in the law, fundamental or sta- tutory, which will end the present con- fusion, corruption and disrespect for law. Specially would she like to see “such modi- fication of the Volstead Act as will permit the ‘manufacture and sale of light wines and beer.” lass in advance | | gress I Mrs. Pratt stands high in the councils of he party and among New York |is the only woman ever to serve on the Board o Aldermer | there the people of to which she has been elected Repub. twice others who Letive Nicholas Butler, wh the of their on Prohibition mentioning that Mrs and a daughter and are Dr bound President also s are besides Murray be for not by position can didate It is the worth of Pr mother a son | |church worker, among her other activities, which that pretend to Nation" or h w whe the heads of ‘all those speak for for many | ‘ndicates organizations the mothers of s0 men" sometimes, to speak is doubtful if the least all of them they speak for say hey do not for It | them I to Democratic New the death of the Republican left the committees Mrs. C Chairman and Miss Dr. Nich Republican of him 18 illness put.-Gov Edwin which caused resign York George New headships of of that herine O’ of the Sarah Sc Murr State D of the K York both Morris, rman ttee, party of the | hands of women | Vice-Chairman | State Democratic But- Butler nittee is Commit tee daughter of 1 of the probably be las succeeded by next month The situation Associat in Califor Lewis well Press ount he political Mrs. Le mmeau about for Senator running on the Dele to acc nia reveals E Morrow fifteen that known years ago late Mrs She is a Lewis can in Stae Con- here 1914 paper here for Socialist ticket ran f ate Socialist conducted in She also a Soc several years about ov The there ng under The dog day: begun are and Chicago has beginning would nay reap a large 1 and add greatly kers acting up indicate that the harvest during the to the prosperity again Law Ridden Alaska. (Seward teway.) Vo! ad Act Iniquities in Alaska Jneau Empire waxes wroth A well-known business man and respected American citizen of that town was stoyged by prohibition agents recently while driving ¥rom hiz home to his place of business and his car searched, pre- sumably for contraband liquor. No liquor was found, but the ch was thorough and took some time while the business man was perforce to suffer the indignity in outraged silence. Inci- dentally the “searchee” has a wife and children and a host of friends in Juneau, and many are the protestations of indignation at this high- handed procedure on the part of the so-called law enforcement officers. The Empire is fair to state that the United States Supreme Court had handed down a five to four decision permitting search of automobiles without a warrant, but if we recall this matter raised such a storm of protest against invasion of personal rights, that General Andrews, then chief of the prohibition enforcement division, issued a general order to all “Prohis” from the bottom up to lay off the picayunish stuff and leave the harassed American ctiizen alone in the enjoy- ment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That was followed for a while, but it seems they re drifting back to the cld strong-armed methods here in Alaska, maybe because they are so far from Washington or because the chief of this division is willing to let them use their own sweet w Ye gods, what a ghastly joke it all is! Am- er established on the foundation rock of lib- erty, the most outrageously law-ridden nation on earth and the most intolerant! Governed by a huge army of men at great expense, many of them former law-breakers, with their palms ex- tended behind them, and who take the most vicious kind of revenge if they ““don’t get theirs.” All of this vast organization working over a substratum of a lot of “rats” or stool-pigeons, known as “under-cover” men, the most dispicable company of near-criminals ever employed to do the dirty work of any government. The so-called secret police of Paris and Russia, apparently would not stoop to some of the rotten practices of the proud U. S. Government's unprincipled bunch of “under-cover” men. And what are they trying to enforce? A law, that vote after vote has showm is not desired and is openly spurned by a majority of the people. We all know the law was slipped over on us when we were not looking, in the hysteria of the early war days, and now they are trying to shove it down our throats, while respect for all laws rapidly deteriorates; while the whole police system of government is being rapidly corrupted and prostituted and the ordinary citizen sub- jected to the humMiation of the most flagrant violation of personal rights in the history of the world In addition to that we get rotten booze at exhorbitant prices; bootleggers get rich and spineless Congressmen who drink plenty wet and talk dry, cower behind an attempted showing of virtue, fearful less an honest expression of opinion would oust them from office. If they can stop your automobile without warrant why can’t they stop you on the side- walk and go through your pockets? Why can't they invade your home while you are away and scare your wife into hysterics? And this they have done in many places in the States. Is there any limit to what they can’t do, if this thing is to continue to be a part of American life? “Under cover” men indeed! A fine breed, and right- fully named, who should stay under cover and never dare to show their faces in the light of day. Is it possible that such a fesiering sore as this should be allowed to exist in this lind of the free and home of the brave? i S S Our suggestion for today is that the boot- leggers would (ln.n handsome thing by getting together in a national convention and passing a resolution of thanks for services rendered them by the Anti-Saloon League.—(Buffalo Courier- Express.) the Under heading r——— The Republicans say that the East is the battleground; the Democrats declare the fighting Wwill be done in the Middle West.
