ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE FLOWING TIDE. The flowing tide of revolt against Prohibition which engulfed the United States last December, sweeping away State Prohibition enforcement laws and registering the then peak of public approba- tion of the political party and candidates with the| courage to advocate outright repeal, demolished all§ parriers in the House of Representatives Monday as it had done in the Senate last week. That is the| real reason that Congress has passed the Blaine resolution submitting to the States the question of repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The anti-Prohibitionists really won the engage- ment, which is the opening one of 48 to come, last November. yesterday. Its importance cannot be overemphasized. essential step. Until it was taken no lines could; be formed for the others. Two actions have yet to be taken before the wet and dry forces can swing into action on fronts from the Atlantic sea- board to the Pacific Ocean and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. One of these is ministerial—the | promulgation of the Resolution of Repeal by the| Secretary of State to the several States. The second‘ is the enactment of legislation by Congress to provldel upon the repealer. There tions required to act ought to be no serious difficulty in passing legisla- |Asia. The reference to the purchase is taken from|paper» tion for that purpose. repealer over the last-ditch protests of the dry strategists, to act on the. repeal vehicle %) e T The drys probably will use every strategy at will not in itself aid Alaska.’ When ratification of the répealer wipes National Prohibition off the Constitution, Alaskans will still be oppressed by the Alaska Bone Dry Law, unless, of course, it is re- pealed in the meantime. There can be no question about the sentiment of the Territory on the question. In its Territorial platform the Democratic Party pledged its best efforts to repeal that law. Delegate-Elect Dimond personally made the same pledge a part of his cam- paign. He was elected by an overwhelming majority, and the Democratic slate, with four local exceptions, was carried into office, breaking all existing records. The verdict of the people of Alaska could not be stated in plainer or more convincing terms. There ought not to be further delay in repealing the Alaska Bone Dry Law. Congress enacted it originally because the Territory voted dry. It never voted for any such law as 'the one it was given, but if it had, it has-shown by its votes that it no longer desires it. Surely a Gongress that is pledgedy nationally will not hesitate to repeal the local act when the”deméand is so cleareut and tonvincing. “Youth Sentenced to Be Executed for Third Time.] Headline. That fellow must have as many lives as the traditional cat. Arizona, at any rate, has no qualms about deal- ing with Prohibition repsal. Within three minutes after Congress passed the repeal resolution, it was preparing to hold the ratification convention. Other| States will have to move rapidly if they match that for speed. Oranges for England. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) In Portugal they grow oranges, and statistically minded people at Lisbon evidently take an interest in what happens to oranges when they are grown. They have compiled what Reuter tells us is a “world survey” of the subject, and from that survey is extracted the interesting information that the inhabitants of this island are, of all peoples, the most eager for oranges, The occupants of Great Britain et twenty pounds of them a year per head of population, the peoples of France and Germany do not manager to reach half that amount, while the Pole absorbs only half a pound of oranges in the course of twelve months.

Her anger, her leaping, vanished. She felt stricken. Not because® of anything Judy er really mattered. But because in that one spurt of indignation her spirit had taken an eager step towards Farrell Armitage and she knew it and was afraid. ... “Babs?” Judy’s tone had changed.

Atlhough on the defensive, theirs is the easier task. They have but to block ratification in 13 States to hold on to what they have. The wets must win 36 out of the 48 battles if National Prohibition is to be wiped off the Constitution. ® * It will be a furious campaign. Obviously the Prohibitionists will seek to make the return of the saloon the predominant issue. The Repeal Resolu- tion does’ not mention the word saloon in any way. It provides for the return to the individual States the power to control the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages. How that control shall be exercised, what form of sale shall be provided, will, if the resolution be ratified, be left to each State. The only connection proposed for the Federal Government is that it will undertake to protect dry States from liquor importations. That is not a departure from previous practice. For years before the advent of National Prohibition, the Federal Government had undertaken to do that with more or less success. 'y Undoubtedly the fear of the return of the saloon will cause some who are opposed to Federal liquor control to oppose repeal. Just how far-reaching the effect of that fear will be rests almost wholly upon the wets. If they conduct a campaign based upon intelligent administration of sound liquor control, divorcing the business from politics, sharply limit- ing private profits and instituting therefor taxation to relieve the burdensome taxes now imposed upon . . But the “meate” is evidently an English standby. Others grow oranges, but we are the world's eaters of them. Feeding the Unemployed. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) The relief administration of New York State, responsible for the feeding of the unemployed, re- ports that requests for aid from the people of that State are increasing at the rate of fifteen hundred a day. The board has notified the Gov- ernor that funds for food will be exhausted by June 1. The Governor of ' the wealthiest State in the Union will apply at once to the Federal Government for. assistance. The situation in New York is similar to that existing in all other parts of the country. Bernarr Macfadden, who has devoted his life to physical culture and the study of dietetics, has advised the Governor of New. York that he would be willing to enter into a contract to feed one million people for $10,000 a day—or one cent each —as. long as prices remain as they are today, pro- viding the State furnish the buildings and equip- ment. Mr. Macfadden is a wealthy man and would back his belief with cash bonds. He asserts that the people fed at one cent each per day would be in better health at the end of a few months than ever in the past. The Macfadden Foundation three-penny restau- rants are feeding ten thousand people a day in New York.. The meals are amply nourishing, it is other industries and individuals, the saloon bugaboo great numbers in buildings provided by the State, can be exploded everywhere except in less enlight- ened communities where passion and prejudice take the place of ordered reasoning. . . . . R If delay is the present aim of the Prohibitionists, speed should be the first consideration of the repeal- ists. The heated iron bends easily. It is hotffiow. Last November's landslide is still fresh in the minds of the people. The passage of the repeal bill by this Congress proves that conclusively. The tre- mendous vote for the Democratic Party's candidates, pledged to outright repeal, the enactment of the repealer, gives a momentum to the cause which will carry it far among the individual States if speedy action can be had. The cry for a balanced budget, which will surely make necessary some new taxation and increases in some of the existing schedules, operates in favor of the anti-Prohibitionists. Here is a source of taxation from an industry that is already operating, illegally, it is true, not only without paying one cent of taxes to any government but also at an _actual cost of millions of dollars annually to the Federal Government. Taxation of a legalized liquor . trade will bring sorely needed millions in revenue to both State and Federal governments at the same . time that legalization saves ‘more millions now . wasted on a futile attempt fo enforce the; Bro- claimed, and Macfadden contends that by feeding the price can be cut to one cent per person a day. ‘The diet would consist almost entirely of various grains prepared in palatable form. The.feeding of adults at a cost of one cent & day does not sound possibje, but there can -be little question as to the fact that vast sums are wasted in the ineffitient feeding of the destitute. The financial drain on those who provide the funds is too great.. Cities, counties and States will soon go bankrupt at the rate we are spending relief funds. The unemployed should ot continue to sit in idleness; they should be producing food. The plan of buying all food over the counter at retail prices will not work out in yiew of the source of such funds. : Thus far we have merely drifted. No really efficient plan has been tried. Politicians have played to the gallery largely. They have tried to please every one, and postpone the inevitable. For taxpayers to continue feeding armies of idle, able-bodied men, paying market prices for that food and still finding discontent on all sides, is inviting serious trouble. 3 ‘With all this talk about hard times what might we expect if they reopened the saloons and started conversation right?—(Lexington, Ky. Herald.) Japan’s attitude toward China is pretty much the same. as that of the man ‘who claimed the in' seriously about him, so there's no need for us to go into it. But there's somethin’ T'd like to tell you in case you're thinkin' life with Mark and me might come a bit too hard on you.” “If it's any more about your getting a job, we can't discuss it now. Heaven knows what time of night it is.!” “It's nothin’ to do with jobs for any of us. It's about a—an inheritance.” 3 “Whose?” asked Barbara. She was by now almost desper- ately fatigued and the cold water, though it had steadied her nerves, had brought a feeling of faintness. The sandwiches she had had seem- ed a matter of days ago. Judy's talk about an inheritance could wait, couldn’t it? And whose in- heritance? “As to that, I'm not in a posi- tion to say,” returned Mrs. Lode- ly, with unusual precision. “All T want you to know is that when you're married to Mark, therell be a good chance of us all never hav- in' to do another-hand’s turn so long as we live.” “But whose money will it be— Mark’s?” Mrs. Lodely swallowed nervous- ly. “What's Marks will be yours and what's yours will be Mark's, I sup- pose, my dear gel.” Not until after wards did Bar- bara realize the evasion behind the words.

The ckly light hit her across the Y for a second and she could distinguish nothing. Then her ght was released and drawn to e center of the big room, where a woman was dancing. Barbara felt her face scorch and burn. She was not prudish—it was not that. But there was about this posturing, these soft, padding movements, something inherently animal. The woman wore a mask, and little else. ‘My word!” breathed Mrs. Lode- ly. “Bit darin’—what?” Before she could say more, the music shrieked and blared and in great curving leaps the dancer sprang toward them, fleeing for the door. Barbara, slower than others to give way, was for a mo- ment in her path and, ducking her head, she let the sickly light flood full upon Barbara's face. There was a screech of laughter from somewhere and then lights sprang up inside the studio, and Barbara looked over the heads and recumbent forms of a small crowd of people, straight across the space of ‘the room to Mark. Mark! Her first thought was that he was ill, for he was all askew upon a couch, his fair, tou- sled head in a woman's lap. Then he put up a long hand, seized her Bair and dragging a jeweled slide from it threw it into a group of -squatting people. She struck at him, freed herself and made after it; and Mark, tarning on his side to watch her go, caught sight of Barbara. Mrs. Lodely had disappeared in the wake of the dancer. Barbara looked. back at him, waiting for him to welcome her to this gathering of his friends. A young man had captured the piano stool and was playing loudly and formlessly. Mark sat up on his couch and ‘reached to a table behind him. He appeared to be writing something — no, he was drawing.

Her éyes were still fixedly upon him When' he spoke smilingly to a lovely girl whose head was near his shoulder. She jumped up and drew from the wall an easel. She arranged it and he handed her a white square—evidently a sketch to prop upon its ledge. Barbara saw the girl look at the sketch, then towards herself in the doorway; she heard her squeal of silly laughter. Barbara backed, turned and ran. Mark was going to be cruel in front of those people. No, she couldn't stand that! .She plunged in panic towards the stair-head, pushing aside vague obstructing shapes—for this land- ing was still in darkness.
