In the presentation of the Harmon Trophy to his flight with Capt. George Hubert Wil- )m Point Barrow to Spitzbergen, Capt. Carl I1son has been honored in the highest fashion n be paid in aviation circles. This award is annually for the most significant flying feat of the year. He is the third man to receive the trophy, sharing with Col. Lindbergh and Shirley Short the distinction of holding the coveted prize. | This honor to Capt. Eielson is appreciated by all Alaskans. It was in this Territory that he re- ceived his experience in flying under conditions encountered on the across the pole flight with Capt. Wilkins. He was the first man to demonstrate the feasibility of aerial navigation in Alaska, and it is largely through his pioneer flights out of Fair- bar''= several years ago that the industry has thrived r rior portions of the Territory. And while they congratulate him on the recognition he has | at the hands of the International League tors, Alaskans are glad to say that it could e come to one more worthy nor to anyone w! ierved it more highly than Capt. Eielson. HERRICK’S SERVICE OF EMINENCE. The greatest esrvice that the late Myron T. Her- rick rendered the United States as Ambassador to France was in the promotion of friendship between the two nations through his own personality. Back early days of the World War, he became a national hero with the French when serv- first term as Ambassador he refused to leave at the itme it seemed as if the capture and was imminent. He offered to do anything verything in his official power to aid and 't the city's population in case the invaders e capital. This was the kind of gesture s certain to and did powerfully attract him he people of all classes of France. ’L-n he was re-appointed to the same post by HIGHEST irick's might have produced friction and lessened the entente cordiale. But he was able to smooth |over the difficulties which another man, equally “cnpable but less popular with the people with whom he was dealing, would have been powerless {to stay. Always his tact and diplomacy were equal to the occasion. Few men have represented more truly their country than he did. In honor of his memory and recognition of his! many services, France as a nation and a people/ paid him every tribute that love and friendship could inspire. America, on the return of his body |to the land he so loyally served, will do no less. | A JUVENILE PROHIBITION VICTIM. One of the youngest, if in fact not the most iyouthful, of Prohibition law victims is Freddie May Johnson, a 12-year-old Negro girl of Greenville, S. C. She was recently sentenced to serve 30 days lin the County stockade there after pleading guilty \to violating the Dry laws. Appearing alone in court, | unattended by counsel or members of her family,| the little girl told the court she had been asked| ‘by another woman to carry a bottle of liquor lacross the street to a man who had bought it. She |started on her mission but before she reached the |other side of the street she was arrested. The j)udge trying the case said the girl told a straight- |forward story and he was impressed by it, but he admitted he was powerless to do other than to sen- tence her. And this is but one of many cases of absurdities that go hand in hand with efforts to enforce an unenforceable edict against common- sence and American principles. Can It Be Enforcea. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The new Attorney-General of the United States says: “Now we shall have prohibition!” The Presi- |dent of the United States has declared it to be his |intention to get at the root of the prohibition prob- lem and secure, if possible, actual and effective en- forcement of the law. Enforcement procedure and machinery is to be placed in the hands of the De- partment of Justice, where it properly belongs. Those citizens, numbering millions of men and women, who believe that prohibition as a national legislative policy is wrong, are quite as heartly in favor of an honest attempt at enforcement as are |the most loyal friends of the policy. | Friends and foes of the policy agree that such {enforcement would require millions more of dollars {of expenditure annually, the creation of additional |courts and the multiplication of enforcement offi- cers in impressive numbers. The foes of the policy declare that such enforcement effort would prove to be futile and so enormously costly that the }people, including those who believe in the policy, would revolt aginst an oppression so colossal, and {for that reason favor the attempt, believing that it {would result in a liberalizing of the Volstead law that would be acceptable to the public at large. | The Roman Caesars, and many a lesser auto- cratic power, attempted enforcement of laws which {were in opposition to the sentiments of peoples and failed. Perhaps the United States may be able to ,establish a new precedent. It possesses the machin- ery and the wealth. If the Attorney-General is |right in the confidence he assumes we shall indeed | have legislative morality in fact. The country awaits |the outcome with interest, an interest, perhaps, not |untainted with anxiety. The Attorney-General may !he wrong. Then what? In the last analysis, whether a law is good or bad is a matter that is up to the public to determine. Try If you want to sell anything—use EMPIRE a Classified.

Sam Hill in The Cincinnati En- quirer remarked recently that the thermometer did something last summer, he never expects it to do, when it reached 90, to which Tip in the American Legion Councillor, added that this winter it will do another thing he never expects to do, worse luck, go back to 20. Our own opinion is that both of those tottering oid buckos ought to be well satisfied in having lived out their three score and ten. —J. Morgan Cook, in Philadel- phia Inquirer. To which Sam makes the snap- py comeback, “Oh, is that so?” and all we can think of it to boast that, any way, we know a whole lot more than we did at 20. “Si viel- lesse pouvait, si jeunesse savait,” as the French remark so pungently. —Tip, the American Legion Coun- cillor.
