DISPASSIONATE Basing its position on the first abbreviated tele- graphic dispatch frum this city, outlining rather sketchily the tentative plans of the Board of Liquor Control for regulating the traffic in intoxicating liquors, the Ketchikan Chronicle violently attacks that Board and Gov. Troy its Chairman. It charges| that the fundamental policy of permitting private| sale of distilled liquors will restore the saloon on a scale unheard of in the old wide-open days. To quote its words: Keonitan will have immediately 26 saloox The Board will call them licensed beer wine parlors, but in effect they are i The only appreciable differ- ence Lo ween the “old-time” saloon and the modern one as resurrected by the Board is that the latter will be far worse as a social menace and more odious in general char- | and GENERAL MANAGER/ the | EMPIRE_PRINTING COMPANY at Second and Main | with him. If anyone thinks, even if he were, he | could dominate the other four members, he doesn’t |know Messrs. Boyle, Hesse, Truitt and Smith. As to who will enforce the regulations, the answer is not difficult. Municipalities, who will receive 50 per cent of the revenues derived from the traffic within their borders, naturally will be expected to render some such service In exchange therefor. If they fail, or are not able to perform that duty, Federal officers, capable Deputy United States Marshals under a very capable United States | Marshal are available to step in. Federal Prosecut- ing Agtorneys are at hand to present cases to Federal jurists. There has been no change to date in our law enforcement system. Any individual or firm who may seek to operate in violation of the Board's regulations under the mistaken impression that there is no means of enforcing them is certain to come to grief abruptly. , This is not the time for acrimonious dispute over The Board’s regulations are not going to be 100 per cent perfect. Its members are human beings and as such are subject to error. The thing to do just now is to study the system dispassionately, without bias or prejudice, uninfluenced by either personal or political feelings. Let's see what is good and what is bad about the regulations and how they work out in practice. The good we can retain. The bad can be discarded without great delay and without difficulty. The Board is trying sincerely to make it easy and as inexpensive as possible to get legal liquor Let's help the Board by “making it smart to legally drink legal liquo: JUNEAU'S WEATHER ATTRACT NOTICE. It is a far cry from suneau io Charlotte, N. C., which lies across the continent and well to the south of Alaska's Capital City. So far south, in fact, that one who would venture to compare local winter weather with that of Charlotte might seem to be risking disaster. Yet such a comparison is not necessarily to the disadvantage of this city. On |one occasion covering a period of 28 days Juneau had all the better of it, so far as averages were concerned. In evidence of this we quote from the Charlotte News, of its March 14, issue, as follows: CITY COLDER THAN JUNEAU IN FEB- RUARY—Charlotte experienced colder weath- er during February than did Juneau, Alaska. This city had a lower minimum thermometer reading, a lower mean temperature for the month, and had a maximum here of 65 degrees, only 12 degrees above the Juneau acter. That statement, of course, canot be justified in the light of the regulations so far made public byi the members of the Board. Unless Ketchikan now has 26 saloons, it wont have them when the Liquor| Board's regulations go into effect. And if any operator of a licensed beer and and wine parlor undertakes to operate one, his license will un- doubtedly be revoked in short order and he will face criminal prosecution, as he should. The Board| is not going to tolerate evasions or infractions of its liberal regulations. Its power of revocation is absolute and from its judgment there is no chance| of appeal once evasion or violation is competently blished We believe that a vast majority of Alaskans will recognize the Board’s sincerity, its determination to play fair, and its equal determina- tion to permit the saloon to return in any shape or form { {0 guestion the judgment of the| s effeetiveness of its regulations, the { take a wholly uncalled for slap ati ho will be the Board's Chairman when Concerning his part in the informal it organizes. deliberations had to date, it gravely asserted: Gov. Troy, who dominates the Board, has long acquaintance with the Territory. He is a man of learning. That he has al- lowed himself to hedge is regrettable. Gov. Troy knows, as any sane person must, that ] the regulations as proposed by the Board cannot be enforced, that they are a travesty on good government. Who, we ask, will enforce the regula- tions? Will the Territory set up its own constabulary or rely upon municipal author- ities? The Board must realize that 26 or 36 or 46 saloons or other liquor outlets in any Alaska town must present a sizeable en- forcement problem. The burden will naturally fall upon the city government. If, therefore, the city must enforce the regulations why should they not make them? maximum. Juneau, it might be added, is on the southern coast of Alaska, and is not the coldest Alaskan point by any means. It is the capital of that great northern posses- sion of the United States. A monthly weather report for Juneau received here today by Meteorologist S. S. Schworm showed Juneau had a low Feb- ruary reading of 18 degrees, as compared to Charlotte’s eight decrees, had a mean tem- perature for the month of 37 degrees as compared to Charlotte’s 36 degrees, and had a maximum reading of 53 degrees as com- pared to a maximum reading here that went to 65 degrees. The' Decorative Sex. (New York Worla-Telegram.) Awake, ye males, and as old Omar would say, into the fires of spring your black garments of depression fling! Here in New York the Custom Cutters Club lets it out that repeal and NRA have joined to free American manhood from sartorial restraints. Colors and lines will be worn as they were by the gallants of Colonial days. Man will take his rightful role, long usurped by the ladies, and join with pheasants, turkey-gobblers and gamecocks as the decorative sex. The champagne coat, already blossoming in Flor- ida, California and Bermuda, will be worn in pastel shades as a dinner jacket in hot weather. For formal affairs you are warned not to try to slip by with a Tux, but to don black or midnight blue tails—and those full six inches longer than usual. For sport the sky is the limit, with ensembles of checked coats and striped pants patterned after rainbow and peacock. Even business suits may dis- play less sober tints; checks, plaids and stripes are coming back. Coats will be streamlined, with a cutaway and hip fenders. Everything is to be provided short of a cap with a red feather, a sash, knee breeches and a dash of lace at the sleeve. It's a brave beginning, and it fits the happy Gov. Troy, of course, doesn’t need any defense for the part he takes and will take in the Board's deliberations. He is one of five members on it. 1 there is anyone who thinks the Governor is domineering, he hasn't the slightest acquaintance days we hope will be here with the robins. Golf has been made a Nazi national game. Some professor has probably figured out that the correct etymology is swat-sticka.—(New York Times.) A0 Vote for the PROGRESSIVE TICKET ® FOR MAYOR THOS. B.

She stooped to pluck it, breathed in its fragrance. . . . Norman let Mathile call him a fool. He would have followed me, but he stayed when she told him to, she thought as she opened the hall door with her pass key. She lay purse and gloves on a small wrought-iron stand and paused to enjoy her work of the morning, purple iris in 2 blue bowl. Then, pretense thrown to the winds, she tossed her hat to the newel post, ran to the sun room, threw herself on to the couch and cried, cried the queer animal cries of cooks’ wives. “ JUDY, Judy, don’t do that; don’t cry like that” Norman was there. He was holding her in his arms, picking her up, carrying her to his den to hold her in his arms in a deep chair. “There, there, Judy—" “S-she callad . . . you a fool . . . told you to stay and you ... you did,” sobbed Judy. “If I'd stayed, would I have been here?” questioned Norman with masculine logic. Judith reached for the handker- chief he offered. Her own, a sodden small ball, had been discarded en route. “No,” she choked, then re- luctantly, as though realization of what he said had penetrated--“No, you were here when I came fin, weren't you?" “Yes, I stood at the window and watched you admiring your work al' the way up the hill.

And then the telephone rang. 3 “Mrs. Dale,” came a voice over the wire, “this is a reporter for the Union speaking. Mrs, Dale, we un- derstand your first purchase made with Bevins’' money is to be a dia- mond necklace.” Judith gasped, then held her tem- per on a tight leash. Clia had told Ler that “Treat a newspaperman right and he'll risk his job to give you the right break on a story. Get high hat and the fury the woman scorned brags about is a mere tem- pest in a teapot.” Judith laughed. “I'll admit I'm going to buy rocks,” she said, “but not that kind. Ifsyou’ll come down to Judge Morgan's office with me some time tomorrow I'll give you an accurate account of how the money will be spent . . . no, not OL me, nor mine, but on the Bevins dam. Please, sir, won't you help me? I'm still acting in the capacity of a secretary, and every pennv goes to the construction of the dam.” “What do I get out of it?" She peused a moment. She wanted to say, heartache, misrepresentation, but realized the futility. “Not a thing unless [ am hired as a stenographer, then I receive a minimum salary, and living expenses if 1 go on loca- tion.” Later, her face brightened. “Thank you,” she said sincerely, and, stack- in a colorful array of dishes on the tea wagon, told Norman of the con- versation. “He said, he may get fired, but he'll try to write the kind of a yarn he's come to the conclusion I de- serve.” “Fine,” said Norman, heartily, as tkey formed a procession and marched to his den.
