He had done a wonderful work | at Holy Cross and throughout the district center- ing at that place. As an educator and as a min- istering father to all needing aid in a wide section | of Alaska he had endeared himself to everybody during his long residence on the Lower Yukon. He was a man of superior ability and a Christian character of finest mould Father Walsh, while a newer resident of Alaska, had been in the country long enough to impress the people of his region with his fine character and ability. He, too, was loved by those to whom he ministered and all that had come in contact with him Ralph Wien, been a long time since shocked as they were by Merquette Missionary at Kotzebue deaths of Father Philip I F.

They can be illy spared from their.great work. THE PENNSYLVANIA REVOLT. The kiss and make-up agreement among Repub- licans and insurgents did not work in Pennsylvania. It did not even last until the election. Those old Republican leaders of the Keystone State are not easily fooled. They understand that there is noth- ing for Republicans to gain through electing men of Pinchot habits. Vietory would mean that Pinchot would win, not the Republican Party. Under the circumstances they have concluded that the battle had better come before the election than after- ward when Pinchot and Pinchotites would have a lot of men in office to make the fighting more ferocious. The chanches are that Pinchot will be defeated and that Pennsylvania will again have a Democrat for Governor. That sort of thing has occurred more than once before, and it has been discovered that such treatment has a beneficial effect on the Pennsylvania Republican Party. It always cemes out of a defeat such as it is likely it will sustain this year cleaner and stronger than before. ADMITS HIMSELF OUT OF COURT. Assistant Attorney-General Youngq in charge of Prohibition prosecution, ys quite frankly that Prohibition canmot be enforced unless State, County and City police authority is used in the work. He declares that it is absurd to expect 1,750 Prohibition Agents, 91 prosecuting officers and 170 Federal trial Judges to enforce Prohibition. He continues: And the States have the machinery ready to do the work. According to the 1920 cen- sus there were about 130,000 State peace officers, marshals, contables, sheriffs, and policemen. The number is probably near 175,000 now, as compared with a force of 1750 agents in the Bureau of Prohibition. When I repeat that number I marvel that so few men should have accomplished so much. To grind the grist carried to them by these State peace officers there are more than 3,100 State and County trial Judges, not including Justices of the Peace of whom there are no doubt many thousands, as com- pared with the 170 Feedral trial Judges. Mr. Youngquist has admitted himself out of court. He has, in effect, confessed that Prohibition is unenforceable. Anyone ought to know that it is absurd to expect the te, County and City police officers to carry a statute into effect—par- ticularly where the Federal statute is not fav- ored by the people of the State. The citizens of a State constitute the power behind the police wer of that State—the police authorities of The State itself, and of the Counties and Cities with- in it. These police authorities represent the people. It is rid to argue that the police of a State whose opposed to Prohibition will effectively Prohibition—or will attempt to do so. That would not be human nature. It is pot in harmony he principle of self-govern- ment. To say that Prohibition less the State and mu is. tantamount to saying t i until the people of the various favor Prohibition. A previous forcement head was that it could not be made effective until the people came to its support by yefusing to buy contraband liguor “The fact is that we shall have Prohibition when- llous people are enforce with cannot be enforced un- authorities enforce it cannot be enforced States and localities tatement by an en- Treadwell and *| comm ty |opinion Delon was one of the best known and| As Superior | Pilot | Noel Wien, was a young aviator and citizen of great | every | was still ahead of him | {retrenchren’. there will be no need of dry laws. The situation v il take care of itself If Prohibition is to be enforced it must be by |the Federal Government, and if the Department of Justice really wants to enforce it in good faith let it ask Congress for not less than 250,000 or men and at least $2,000,000,000 or $3,000,- 000,000 a year. And even then it would lwholly successful. It has been intimated that the Law Enforcement| ission is likely to be very pronounced in ns‘ that Prohibition is unenforceable if the ctions in November show a marked wet iendency.

Christmas All the Year. (New Y Times.) No one with any Scrooge-like twist in his nature could possibly engage in the Christmas card busi- |ness. For in that line holiday cheer flows all the year. In the sizzling heat of the dog days artists fall to drawing huge Yule logs with heaping flames |and snowbirds hopping about cold snowscapes. Dur- ing the muggy days of 1y September the designers of one firm were enthusiastically at work on' Christ- mas cards—but not for next December. These are for 1931. In all respects it is a forward-looking industry. Even now some of the New York shops are getting lout their stock of greetings for sale.. And the }ambiunus youngsters who earn pin money by selling cards have long since canvassed their friends for jorders, never letting the heat of a July day deter| them from extolling the merits of holly wreaths land mistletoe. i Fashions in greetings have not changed much, not be| Complete Line MAX FACTOR’S TOILETRIES BUTLER-MAURO DRUG CO.

(Seattle Business Chonicle.) 1 Executives of all three Pacific Northwest States |of Idaho, Oregon ikeenly alive to the importance of speeding up road ! programs. The motive, of course, is that of pro- | {viding a maximum of public work this fall und winter by way of “Yelieving unemployment. All or‘ the States have funds available to cover road pro- | jgrams of a least the first half of 1931. Large por- {tions of ths programs can be advanced and under- | taken this fall. Open winters over much of the |Pacific Northwest permit of such operations as |clearing and grading with no more than minor |interruptions. The speeding-up proposals are time- ly and sound; the need for the employment thus to be provided is urgent. The public should com- mend the idea and see that it is carried into action. Commnities which have road improvements pledged to them should demand an early start if the pro- posed work is at all of a nature that it can be done during fall and winter. The Unbeatable Spirit.

Senatorial Investigating Committee and the drastic put into effect on the Alaska Rail-| road. It i expressive of a people who do not write failure into their accounting. Not one suspension | of busiress, and very little panic has followed what ' would have been the signal for liquidations and chaos. This should rebound with stinging rebuke upon the assaulters of the railroad and Alaska in gen-| eral and give impetus to the heralded movement seeking and forever remove uncertainties with | respect to the destiny of the Railroad Zone. One’s strength is never known until put to the test. In this instance Alaska offers a striking example to the remainder of the Nation in courage, and enterprise. A little time must elapse to allow of the putting into operation of the new program. In the mean- | time everything is moving along smoothly, and the men and women who have laid the foundation in Alaska are still at their posts while the transient} herd, foreign to the spirit of the country, are flocking aboard the ships and heading for—where? Long for Blease. (Cincinnat: £nquirer.) Loulsiana and South Carolina conducted Demo- cratic primaries Tuesday which in effect chose Sen- ators in advance of the November election. In South Carolina, the voters did the country as a whole a great favor by defeating Cole Blease, one of the biggest general nuisances the Senate has had in many years. James F. Byrnes, his successor, is almost certain to be an improvement. The decision of the Louisiana voters, however, is not so helpful to the country in general. Huey P. Long, petty tyrant and mischiefmaker in his own State for many years, is to go to the Senate in place of Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, an outstanding statesman and public spirited citizen In short, we have traded Blease for Long, and the gain is nil. It remains, now, to be seen whether Tom Heflin can sell “Jeffersonian Democracy” to the voters of Alabama despite his rejection by the party organi- zation, and thus force his way back to his coveted seat in the Senate. If he is defeated, as seems probable, then we can take cheer from the unhorsing of two useless Senators, and their replacement by only one.
