ANOTHER ANGLE. | A recent Treasury Department report says twenty- three persons were killed in dry raids during 1928. the smallest number in any year since the beginning, boasts the Treasury Department, and it is attributed to the orders from headquarters to curtail the use of the gun. | This boast suggests another angle to this matter. |1f lives were saved by the decision not to kill so many people who were suspected of committing mis- | demeanors, because it was not right to do so, then |what about the responsibility for the lives that were |sacrificed by the long delay in issuing the life- . e (ffice of any fallure or Irregularits | saying orders?

Judge Wickersham, in his letter to Territorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith and Territorial Auditor | Cash Cole, in which he seeks to prevent the pay- ment of certain public officials, refers to the action of the Legislature, in creating the office of Terri- torial Auditor in a bill which he calls the “Steel Bill,” and in making the Territorial Treasurer, Com- missioner of Education and Territorial Highway Engineer elective by popular vote, as giving Alaska a full Territorial form of government with complete | Jocal self-government. He refers to it as the most) important legislation since the passage of the Or- ganic Act. It takes an imagination that is more concerned with creating some sort of political effect rather than a mind seeking accuracy to call the Auditor When the bill got through statute books it was so Bill the House and the “Steel Bill.” into the different from the “Steel Bill” that we do not be- lieve that its author would claim it However, the point of this discussion is the contention that the creation of a few elective offices gave the people complete self-government. 3t is impossible to think that Judge Wickersham has become so silly that he believes this nonser It is true that he has advanced that idea before, but he did it then when there were political cam- paigns under way and he desired to gain the support of people who favored the principle of self-| government by fooling them. But probably Judge! Wickersham has played the of politics long that he finds it and a student of government instead of a politician. “here is 4bsolutely no connection between this stion of the personnel of the official payroll ~l the manner of its selection and that of self- vernment. Self-government is the control of the game 50 vernment by the people—not the picking of per-!| ons to do certain work the people, through their ogislature, direct to be done. Alaska will never ave complete local self-government until the gov-| ernment shall have been brought to the people through local governmental organizations. That has been done in municipal and school matters, but in no other phase of government in Alaska. We must' have county and precinct governments if we are to have home rule. It must be that or bureaucracy., Judge Wickersham has been a lawyer for nearly a half century, a large part of which time he has held offices. He knows that The Empire is right,| and that his statement in letter about self-government is plain buncombe. TODAY chanc Are YOUR 1 EYES Tired?

Yet their charges would be more convincing if they did not have an ax to grind. The presence of Sinclair in the dis- | trict jail, it shouid not be forgotten, is a lively local story for them, and it is natural that they should | want their reporters, photographers and special writ- |ers to have easy access to him and to any who jcan tell how he spends his time. Yet why should |they be granted this license? Sinclair, as the Times has pointed out, is entitled to his privacy. The | Government has the right to punish him as much las it would punish any other offender, but surely it has not the right to punish him more. If any public end were served by holding him up in the glare of publicity, that would be one thing. But to place him in the stocks simply to make a tabloid | holiday is something else and should not be con- |sidered for a moment. In our opinion, the Super- |intendent of the jail is perfectly right in clapping lon this “ban of secrecy.” | | | How China Does It. (Los Angeles Times.) Automobiles are still strange creatures in some sections of China and the rules governing their movement are rather strict. Right in the shadow of Peking there is a stretch where a speed of fifteen imiles an hour is the limit. According to the story \oI an observer those who exceed this rate are likely to have their heads cut off and exhibited on posts lalong the road. It must have a depressing effect wupon a motorist to suddenly come upon the blood- |dripping bean of some guy who had but recently (passed him on the highway. The idea is that a |man who drives fast loses his head and they are making the punishment fit the crime. Reforming the world, or our own country, for that matter, is a life job with despair at the end. | Not for us.

It is better to be under .the in- fluence of a good wife than to be under the influence of bad liquor. Worries is Worries “That rich uncle of John's is worrying about what our married future will be,” said the bride-to-be. “Heah?” said her chum, “and what are you worrying about?” “What his wedding present will be,” she replied. And Speakin'a Whoppers There are more lies now being told about the age of booze than there are about the age of women. Fact Just the Same We're truth, E'en if youre not so keen to hear it— Whenever you start acting big You're showing a darn little spirit. Ask Dad, He Knows “Are you fond of moving pic- tures?” asked the chance acquain- tance. No. I think when pictures are hung they ought to stay put,” growled the husband of the woman with a “change-the-room-around” complex. Not Surprising “Three-Family House Burned"— headline. Well, when you get three families in a house there’s bound to be a lot of heated arguments and some- thing happen that will require the fire department—and police. Believe It or Not 'Course, men can't make their eyes behave, And yet T'll swear, my honor, They'd still admire a girl as much, E'en if she went around with more clothes on her. I will, upon He Knew Her Minutes Hub (calling to his wife): soon will you be ready?” His wife: “In just a minute, now.” Hub: “All right, I'll have time enough then to jump in the car and go down to the office to get those papers I forgot while you are finishing up your primping.” “How Things That Disturb a Man’s Sleep Noises heard by the wife.

Another Fruitess Search “It's no use,” sighed old Diogenes, as he threw his lantern out of the window and sank back in his old morris chair. “Now what’s eating you, you old pessimist,” growled the missus. “I've looked until I'm nearly blind trying to find a man who thinks my troubles are greater than his and will let me tell them in- stead of making me listen to his” he groaned.

Financial Note You don't always have to look up a man in Dunn or Bradstreet to discover whether he has money. The mere fact, “a gold digger has ated with him is proof enough that he has it. But he won't have as much of it next day! More or Less True It is a happy marriage if, when is mentioned friend wife doesn't immediately think of the thing she separates from its pay envelope every Saturday night. A hen-pecked husband may be as useful around the house as a vacuum cleaner, but he never is al- lowed to make as much of an irri- tating noise. A woman never has any patience with another woman who lets her husband bully her, but every man is too busy feeling cuory for him- self to waste éither any sympathy or disgust on another man who lets his wife boss him. ———r—— Have you tried the Five o'Clock Dinner Specials at Mabry's Cafe?
