ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. REVAMPING LIQUOR LAWS. ‘With modification or repeal of Federal Prohibi- | around the corner,” various States are the tion “just taking time by their liquor laws, for even the light wines will require some individual States. In at least five States, Legisla- tures are considering or have already acted. The | policies proposed are quite different, ranging from a study of what it may be advisable to undertake, as in Ohio, to plans in Indiana, New York and New Jersey to set up machinery to handle beer and wine by State control for the revenue that may be in it. sale of beer and regulation by the Other States have contented themselves with wiping | off their books existing legislation. New York's program seems to have progressed farther than any of the other States, and to be more definite. Gov. Lghman, who appointed seven out of its nine members, the other two having been selected by the Democratic majority leader in the | Senate and the Republican Speaker in the Assembly, has instructed the State Liquor Commission to re- | port not later than February 15. All of the mem- bers are opposed to Prohibition, which was one of the principal qualifications deemed necessary for membership on the board. The Governor's seven selections were persons remotely, if at all, connected with politics. Its mission is to draft recommenda- tions for legislation, to be enacted at the present session of the State Legislature, for regulating the sale, manufacture, distrjpution and. taxation of beer and other intoxicating liquor, ‘thus making it un- necessary for a special session to be called if Con- gress should take action after adjournment of the regular term. Members of the Commission are: Mrs. John S. Sheppard, State Chairman of the Women's Organi- zation for National Prohibition Reform and author of the Sheppard Liquor Control Plan; Dr. Simon Flexner, world famous scientist and director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research; Mayj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, former Commander of the New York National Guard; John Sullivan, Presi- dent of the State Federation of Labor; Senator John F. Buckley, appointed by Senator John J. Dunni- gan, Democratic majority leader; former Judge William S. Andrews, one-time member of the Court of Appeals; Thomas F. Conway, former Lieutenant Governor; Joseph 8. Fischer, Vice-President of the Marine Trust Company; Assemblyman Harry F. Dunkel, appointed by Speaker Joseph A. McGinnies of the Assembly. Assemblyman Dunkel, Judge Andrews and Mrs. Sheppard are Republicans, and the remaining mem- bers are chiefly Democrats of the * independent type. The Commission has a large task ahead of it. Enforcement of existing legislation not only in New York but everywhere in the country is at a low ebb. Never have speakeasy proprietor and the forces back of him been more complacent. These interests are under mno illusion about the future. ‘What they fear isn't too much regulation, for they know that the more restrictions put around legaliza- tion measures, the more of his present patrons he will continue to draw as customers. The task of the Commission is to devise regulatory measures that will bring revenue into the State’s treasury, keep the restored liquor business out of the hands of schemers and under the control of honest, capable business men, to make it possible for hotel and restaurant owners and operators to at least meet the illegal competition that®they are sure to en- counter. Bootlegging isn't going out of business overnight even when the Eighteenth Amendment is absolutely repealed. The only way to end it is to make it unprofitable. And New York, other States also, will come nearer to complete success by taking this into consideration than by taking it for granted that the illicit business will die of its own accord when Federal regulation and Prohibition cease. DR. BUTLER ON TECHNOCRACY. Columbia University may be the home of tech- nocracy but that noted educational institution is not going technocratic. This is made plain by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, famous President of the great New York institution, in a letter recently made public. This educator and scientist turns “thumbs down” on the movement, fad or whatever it claims to be or is. As he views the matter, it is one-third inaccuracies and two-thirds wind. His own opinion, in his own words, follows: Columbia University has no more to do with technocracy than it has with the fourth dimension. As part of unemployment relief, 1t gave working space to a group of engineers and architects who had nowhere else to go. Some of these men have been carrying on most interesting and useful in- quiries into the facts of technological devel- opment, and a very few of them, plus the sensational press, have put upon these facts, 50 far as gathered, interpretations which _they do not and cannot bear, but which, {4 PRESIDENT AND EDITOR | forelock in the revamping of | | because of their more or less sensational | character, have attracted the attention of the public. | Joseph W. Barker, Dean of the faculty of the | Engineering Department of Columbia, has written an article on technocracy, Dr. Butler added, which is to appedar immediately in the American Banker land which “explains the whole situation.” It may |be doubted if it will settle the question, however. |Six books were released in January on the subject and more are scheduled to make early appearances. Probably none of them will rank with “Three Sheet,” in popular interest and none are expected to be selected by the Book of the Month Club for cir- culation. Robins are usually hailed as Spring’s harbingers. This year, however, most of us are going to look for the bock beer sign. i TR AC The Senate, after having staged its burlesque for the country, promises to show it how the serious drama should be performed. Technocracy doesn’t seem to have alarmed the sports world seriously. At least the news dispatches these days of baseball deals, pennant hopes and the like indicate the national pastime will be on the job as usual within a few more weeks. Extra Wisdom Needed. (New York World-Telegram.) The Legislature has given Governor Lehman what he asked for in his first message—provision for a State Liquor Control Commission to prepare legislation to follow Federal modification or repeal of present Prohibition law. The Governor has ap- pointed nine competent members. The importance of this commission’s job can hardly be overstated. It must show New York’s ability to resume a long interrupted State power {with wisdom, foresight and special care to minimize evils and disorders which once degraded the legal- |ized liquor traffic and helped to make Prohibition | possible. The commission, we think, should have two major | purposes: | 1. To prevent in every possible way the return of the old sordid alliance between politics and the liquor interests. 2. To encourage open, non-surreptitious con- sumption of beer and wines, as distinguished from pirituous liquors, in clean, wholesome places where “drinking"” will become less and less associated with drunkenness. A combination of politics and ruthless grabbing |for liquor profits made a sorry mess of the saloon |/in many instances under the old regime. | This time we should aim gradually to reduce |consumption of spirits by providing a new at- mosphere for thousands of persons who do not \drxnk to get drunk” and whose bad habits in former times were often brought on and made worse by the low type of saloon. We are not so naive as to think everybody in this or any other State can be legislated into a class of temperate, “family” drinkers—any more than we expect to see the speakeasies disappear with the first modification of the Volstead Act. But we do believe that a liberal, far-sighted plan |of rationalized liquor control can influence drink- ‘m;, habits and help to spread true temperance. In the long run the beer garden becomes the worst enemy of the speakeasy or saloon. We hope the commission will be large-minded enough to realize this and plan accordingly. The taxation side of the problem is of great present moment. But the moral and social side reaches farther still. A National Appeal. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) The intensity of conviction in this country on the disarmament issue could not be better shown than in the national memorial to the Prime Minister which we publish this week. Both by its signatories and by its text it must command general attention. The list of signatures draws upon nearly every walk of the national life. It includes names which are known and respected in political and civic affairs, in the churches and in teaching, in science and in letters. And the text of the appeal is fully as im- pressive as the list of signatures. Theré is nothing vague about it, no rhetoric, no trite generalities, but a perfectly straightforward plea for straight- forward action. The Prime Minister is asked to contribute his personal leadership and to come out boldly in support of the Hoover Plan; to throw the whole influence of this country into obtaining the total abolition of military aviation, of all war- ships over 10,000 tons, of all tanks, and of all heavy guns. That such a body is willing to support such a program, which in some respects even goes beyond the Hoover Plan, means many things. It means that this country is profoundly anxious to see the Disarmament Conference pulled out of the fire before it is too late, anxious to see the hesitant bungling of Mr. Baldwin in July and Sir John Simon’s legal acrobatics of September replaced and redressed by Mr. MacDonald himself. British in- itiative is wanted at Geneva and elsewhere. Can Mr. MacDonald rise to this appeal and his oppor- tunity? He will at least have this encouragement: to know that these men and women, with all they represent, are ready to back him in such a policy should immensely strengthen his hands in dealing both with other countries and with the foes in his own house. For this is an appeal which not even the most agile opponent of disarmament will find it possible to dismiss or to explain away. Giving Both. (New York Times.) Oongress has come in for pretty general and severe newspaper condemnation for - passing the Philippine bill over the President’s veto. A neat summary of the intent and effect of the measure was made by The Louisville Courier-Journal: “Give we liberty or give me death” cried Patrick Henry, Congress has given both to the Philippine Islands. . This may be too short to win the Pulitzer Prize for the best editorial of the year, but it at least |deserves honorable mention. Statesmen, when interviewed, gave various an- swers as to what will be the most important ques- tion of 1933. A lot of other citizens, who were not interviewed, appear to think it will be “Whatll you have?”—(Boston Herald.) If he says he has nothing to live for he lacks |curiosity.

SYNOPSIS: Farrell Armit- age is to devote all of his ef- forts to cure the crippled Mark Lodely and make him a suc- cessful artist, according to the bargain he has made with Mark’s fiance, Barbara Quen- tin. In return Barbara has put off her wedding for a year. Farrell hopes to win Barbara’s love in that time. Leila Cane, whom Farrell al- most married, is aiding him— perhaps because of some past connection with Mark. Leila has brought the actress Patsy Racul to witness Mark’s ar- rival at Farrell's house. She asks Farrell if he is the paint- er. CHAPTER 21. THE LODELYS ARRIVE Armitage, taking a thin hand, locked down into an ugly face with no redeeming feature save its vivicity. Patsy Raoul was swars thy and snub-nosed, her eyes were small and her mouth large, all her features a little wry as though ore-half of her face did not quite match the other. Armitage sens- ed a strong personality, whether hostile to his type or not he could not be sure. “Do I look like the genius, Raoul?” “You do not it. But then—me! T look like not anything but per- haps a gargle. Yes. As you may sce them under an old church- roof. genius who all I dee-sire must have.” She flicked a finger and thumb at Farrell's two wirehaired ter- riers, who responded with all the quiverings, nose-pushings and tail Miss rappings known to canine eti-{ quette. “Ah, Mr. Farrell Armitage, you will be dee-lighted these two to me give for last night?” “Last night?” “Farrell has probably never seen you act and even more probably never will” put in Leila. She leaned in the doorway faintly smil ing, golden-brown. vith her friend, she was dressed in a deeper red, but itwas, strange- | ly enough, her softer colors thaf. struck the false note—not Miss| Raoul's scarlet. “Then, these animals the more sem-possible to me refuse,” de- cided the actress. “If you will not pay to come to the thee-atre | you must pay because you come not.” Her ugly gra. W an ungn- swering gleam from Armitage. “Has anyone ever refused you anything, Miss Raoul?” “Yes, one. And he died.” “Then I am evidently a very brave man.” Patsy Raoul's grin twisted, and under her dark skin a red tide welled. With a quick flicker of nmovement she produced a card from her scarlet pochette and a Jjewelled pencil. “A box for this night,” she cried, seribbling vehemently upon the card. “Now, Mr. Farrell Armit- age, I will you eem-barrass. If you see not me and I think you feel anger of me. If you then give these animals, I shall think you feel fear of me. If you give me not anything I think you feel love of me. Well, brrave man?” ‘What' was she—French? Ger- man? No, Armitage thought, nei- ther. And she had certainly cor- nered him.... He put up his hands in surrender and she thrust the card into his breast-pocket. “You won't make any impres- sion on Farrell,” said Leila. “I asked him to marry me only the cother day and he refused.” “But T would not permit. ‘No' for him % say it!!” cried Miss Raoul. “It is only that he has a little caprice—" “At this juncture a merciful in- terruption saved our hero from the embarrassment that threaten- ed to suffocate him,” murmered Armitage moving into the hall. Through the glass panels on either side of the door he had seen the arrival of the ITachisse. His butler and a footman appeared as by telegraphy from the back of the house, the door was opened and the chauffeur was' observed assisting the square form of Mrs. Lodely to the pavement.

The introduction of Miss Raoul had to be effected, fortis- simo, and, the actress’ face was a study as she waited in vain for a lull in which to express her pleasure at the meefing. As for the terriers, they scuttled up the staircase and disappeared into the peaceful upper regions of the hoeu Go' up with the early birds this morin’”" enthused Mrs. Lodely. “Al- ways have'to allow an extra hour for Mark, yknow, half an hour for his lameness and half an hour in case anythin’ iifiTkpected happens to him!” i Armitage felt Gaften at his side.

Damned e egomaniac, he ought to be kicked! But, of course, one could ot touch a cripple. On the phys- cal plane, Armitage supposed, one vthing. Mrs. Lodely, hurling small talk of her type at an appalled Miss Raoul, broke off to glance some- |what anxiously at the car. Ar- im:zage went down to it again. ‘What's up Lodely?” He had put his head right into |{the sedan for only the faintest jmovement had come from his guest. At first Armitage, was ready for a studied languor, larched eyebrows, and a good deal of “temperament,” was confused /by the fact that Mark was not |actually visible at all. Then he fmoved again, and Armitage, peer- |ing, found him prostrate upon the spacious cushions. “Very unconvincing, isn't it?” murmered Mark. “But I'm afraid I really do get heart attacks from excitement, and I really do have |to be lifted in a special way. Gen- erally, Barbara supervises it.” Armitage, genuinely shocked by the white lips, the twitching eye- }nds and the panting breath, could only beg to be shown how this lifting was to be attempted. Mark pantingly complained. “But, of course, if you don't think you have the strength,” he added, “I can just stay here until T am able to move of myself. Then I shall only need someone to hold my crutch. One of your servants could manage that, I'm sure.” “Just clear this floor, Michfield, will you?” asked Farrell. Mark was eased off the seat and disposed in a rug while Armitage walked round to his second posi- tion. Then came the real pull on his muscles. He succeeded mainly because he felt it was imperative that he should succeed. Slowly, like an overladen beast, with /Mark’s full weight upon him, he mounted the steps and carried Mark into the house. “Brute force,” he heard Mark muimer. “Women are supposed to admire it.” Armitage looked at bim sharply, but Mark had ap- parently fainted. no doctor need be summoned. “He goes into these faints and he comes out of 'em again.” She did not even moderate her tones 1891 JUNEAU, ,—-————-—'————* 1933 42 YEAkS’ BANKING SERVICE to the People of Alaska.

D'you say you've got an elevator, Farrell?” “Just like Mark,” said Leila. Mark had been laid on a couch in the hall and she sat upon the edge of it. With a abrupt move- ment she pushed back a lock of hair that straggled over his fore- head. Armitage saw that she was pale under her rouge. “Clever Mark!” she added, to no one in particular. There was a moment’s pause, and then Mark violently sneezed. “Ah, 2z-z-0,” Miss Raoul screech- ed out her mirth and then blew a second cloud of smoke into the pale face on the couch. “Sit!” she commanded brutally, as to a performing seal ‘“You are perhaps one day the genius here. I am already today it” And, as Mark opened resentful eyes—‘No, you pree-tend even not so very well You know that I am Patsy Raoul” (Copyright, 1932, Julia Cleft Addams) Mark is strangled, tomorrow, in a first-rate quarrel.
