The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches eredited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the focal news published herein ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION AND THIS, TOO, IS PROHIBITION. The Cordova Times is authority for the state- -ment that groundwork for against bootleggers. in Fairbanks, on those who persist in selling to children, was laid down when Federal and City officials and various citizens gathered to denounce an evil m to be exerting an <¢vil influence on cuth of the community. “The meeting virtually amounted to a warning those concerned that practices which in some have gone unpunished in the past must a halt,” said the: Times, adding: “Present were representatives of the Marshal’'s and United States Attorney's offices, the Mayor and City Coun- cilmen, Superintendent of Public Schools, Alaska College officials and other citizens. “All present pledged themselves to whole-hearted | cooperation to stamp out what they branded as a menace. The matter of drinking at public func- g tions was also discussed with the result that the ¢ lid will be clamped down tight. Anyone entering ‘ a da hall or other public place this winter in a state of intoxication or bordering upon it will find himself summarily ejected.” There was a time in its not too lengthy history as a community that Fairbanks was known through- L cut the country as a “wide open town.” It saloons in abundance, dance halls and its streets were thronged with men and women whose biood was warmed by the most satisfying emotion known to man, y to nstances come to ran day and night and money was weighed out of pokes on the little” gold scales that was a neces- sary part of the equipment of every business house of any pretense. But at its wildest—and best or worse, according to the viewpoint,—the community had no occasion to convene a ‘“vigilante” meeting to protect its youth from the saloon keeper and gambler. Fairbanks, like the remainder of Alaska, is today and has been for more than a decade, under the supposed protection of two Prohibition laws—the Alaska Bone Dry Law and the National*Prohibition Act. The result speaks for itself. Not despite Prchibition, but because of it, it has been found n2cessary to call mass meetings to publicly warn the bootleggers that the sale of their wares to children will no longer be tolerated. Citizens are forced to take the law into their own hands to obtain security. Drinking in dance halls and other public places goes under a ban. And the bouncer of pre-Prohibition days is to be succeeded by a Prohibition bouncer who will kick out of dances persons in the near as well as the alto- gether-inebriated stage. And this, too, is our vaunted Prohibition. 3 P < e St RS e CAUSE OF DUCK SHURTAGE which s TP That the drought has seriously affected some of the breeding grounds of migratory wild birds was not the only factor in the shortage of ducks and geese in Middle and Eastern United States is divulged for the first time in an official bulletin just issued by the Department of Agricul- ture. Threz primary causes are assigned for the present situation by Paul G. Redington, Chief of 5 the United States Biological Sury These are named as droy drainage, which 2 man-made drought, and over-shooting. The first is something that official intervention cannot eliminate, but the remaining two ought to be susceptible of control. It seems obvious that the country cannot hope to have waterfow! in considerable numbers if any it drains all of its swamplands for cultivation. It will have to choose between the two eventually No amount of conservation will bring migratory fowl to areas where natural conditions are adverse. And it should require no argument to establish that over-shooting will wipe out any species of gam:2 if it is allowed to go unchecked for any appreciable length of time. The sensible move, of course, is to cut down the bag limits in the affected dis- tricts. v,* It is neither sensible nor wise, however, to cur- 0 tail hunting seasons in isolated areas where the bird supply is as great as, or greater than, ever Nor is it just to those residing in such places to ¥ ~deny them the right to take a normal amount of & such game in accord with their needs, when to do 80 will not better the situation in the affected re- fions.

Alaskans, who have been restricted to a single| month’s hunting this fall as a means of conserving the diminishing supply of waterfowl, will find the | British Columbia game regulations of 1931-32 in- ‘nteresting reading. Those regulations permit the killing of ducks and geese in the western district of the Province from October 17 to the end of January, |a period of approximately three and a half months and so timed that there need be no waiting for the birds to arrive.

But as Representative Beck points out, this official plea from a law-making body which has maintained silence on the Prohibi- | tion issue for ten years, “in conjunction with *so| many similar expressions of view from all sections and classes in the country,” will rendsr it extremely difficult for the drys in Congress to suppress dis- on of the question in the coming session. And in turn means that the efforts of politicians to sidetrack the Prohibition controversy in the Presi- dential campaign next year will appear more futile than ever. Considering the overwhelming sentiment for re- peal in New Jersey as expressed in the vote last year for Senator Morrow, the memorial of its Legis- lature for light wines and beer lacks the forthright character of a truly representative gesture. nough Senator Brookhart sneeringly refers to it as “just what I would expect from that State” it falls con- siderably short of what one has a right to expect. Nevertheless, it is highly significant as a declaration of independence from Anti-Saloon League domina- tion and as such has stirred the Rev. James K. Shields, Superintendent of the New Jersey League, to bitter renunciation and prophecies. New Jersey, like most States with a fast-growing urban popula- tion, gives the rural voter much more than his fair share of power in the composition of its Legislature. For this reason the Anti-Saloon League has be:zn able hitherto to hold the fort in Trenton in the midst of hostile territory. Now the fort is breached and the League must retire, no doubt resorting to th2 guerrzilla tactics with which Albany is familiar The victory, therefore, is of much greater importance than the form of the memorial would indicate.

And it has frequently occurred that fish authorized are no more clover hoofed than are game, or other officials. The candid view of this paper is that higher authorities are too often guided by subordinates in the field, whose activities are, in the main, actuated by a misdirected ambition to appear “bus- -er than they really are;” and that powerful rep- rescntation by a massive citizenry would win sym- pathetic hearing.
