NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldz. Beattle, Was CENSORSHIP BY INDIVIDUAL Morality by legislation never has succeeded. We've tried it many times in America, and always the efforts have failed. We tried it on a grand scale under the prohibition amendment—and chalked up a grand scale failure. once those codes have general public approval. of education. Suggestions that comics be strictly regulated and censored are flying thick and fast these days. Several sources are insisting that the rank and file of the public lacks the ability properly to select its reading material. This material, these sources declare, re- quires censoring by government before it is offered for sale on newsstands and in book stores. with such a thesis we heartily disagree. And for more than one reason. First, as stated morality can- not be legislated; it must come through education. Second, each community in America now has on its statute books sufficient legislation to ban any really Vice-Presient | Laws can assist in enforcing moral wd“i But | public cooperation must come first, through the medium | !dangcrous printed matter. Third, that age-old Ameri- | can institution, a free press, is an invaluable heritage. |1t is freedom’s first line of defense, It must not be violated; its armor must not be breached, even in a | matter which = at the outset — might appear com- paratively insignificant.

No doubt this is why the jury | took so long to bring in its verdict of guilty in the | case of Mildred E. (“Axis Sally”) Gillars in Judge | Curran’s court in Washington The case against Miss Gillars seemed complete. She had admitted making wartime broad for the Nazis, in the course of which she did w! she firing lines and of their relatives at home. If she had been successful the war would have lasted longer and more men would have died. It is a dirty business, not extenuated by Miss Gillar's plea that she did it for love, for fear or because she had to earn a living somehow. But we have never executed any civilian for treason in this country in time of peace, except John Brown, and we usually go easier with women than | with men. Robert H. Best and Douglas Chandler got off with life sentences, Martin J. Monti with twenty- five years. Ezra Pound, adjudged insane, got a prize the other day for his poetry. ment will not make her a martyr. It is a story one would like to forget. But in re- turning this case to oblivion let us not minimize the crime of treason, which may cost lives, and more than lives. Punishment for that crime meed not be | vindictive but it ought to be sure. | On Bribing the Newspaper (Prince Rupert Daily News) Even in Prince Rupert there are people who would pribe the newspaper to hush up some news, who would | pay us not to print an item. Not infrequently, they offer ys actual cash or they give us an advertisement or threaten to cancel If such people realized that by such gestures they were only arousing our re- sentment and shocking our professional feelings, they would think twice. If newspapers Or newspapermen could be bribed, where would the freedom of the press—of which we boast we will righteously defend—end us? We venture to state that those who desired, for personal reasons, to curb it, would be the first to cry in despair. “What is a miracle?”—From quiz column.

Besides ritualistic werk of Moose Lodge and Women of Mooseheart Legion, there were program nurabers by Henry Roden, Stella M. Jones, Evelyn Judson, Mrs. K. Dufresne, Mrs. Trevor M. Davis and Max Pitschmann, with Frank H. Foster making an address on “Mortality.” In Douglas, Mrs. Harold McConnell had given a birthday party April 13 for three-year-old Henry McConnell, 26 of his little friends attending. Contests were won by John Doogan, Alice Hill, Glenwood Kirkham, Dayton Fleek, Florence Brown, Doris Balog, Alfreda Freek and Leonard Hammock. Mrs. Martha Ulrich, who had come to Douglas recently as a bride from the old country, was pleasantly surprised when 15 ladies dropped in at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph Wehren, taking gifts and refreshments. Legionnaires had spent all day Saturday building a fence on the “Legion Lot,” despite persistent showers. E. M. Polley was in charge of the work committee, and Mrs. Polley took hot coffee and “mighty fine sandwiches” for the workers. Llano Morris loaned tools from the Morris Construction Company. Legionnaires were eager to finish their work so the Garden Club could beautify the yard. Announcement ‘was made of a tea the following week to honor wives of legislators, sponsored by Gov. George A. Parks, Mrs. R. J. sommers and Mrs. H. G. Watson were to serve as hostesses, assisted by wives of Territorial officials. The first baseball game of the season had drawn a large crowd, but not enough players. Married men were to meet bachelors, but only six of each team showed up. J. T. Spickett of the Palace Theatre and Mrs. Spickett, Postmistress, were outside on a vacation, joining Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Caro in Seattle for a motor trip to San Francisco. The Alaska Steam Laundry officially changec its name to Alaska Laundry. Making the first non-stop flight from Seattle to Alaska, seaplane 432-E, Lockheed Vega five-passenger craft of the ‘Washington-Alaska Airways Company, arrived after a flight of 8 hours, 12 minutes. It was piloted by Anscel C. Eckmann, with Robert Fllis as navigator and Jack Halloran, mechanic. Weather: High, 53; low, 45; rain.

He is the only Republican, they feel, who can take votes away from the Democrats in their greatest stronghold—labor. Leaders of the Morse movement include such Congressmen as John Phillips of California, H. R. Gross of Towa and James Golden of Ken- tucky—all progressive Republicans. Morse, himself, didn’t learn of their support until he was invited to talk off-the-record the other day be- fore a gathering of about 20 Repub- lican Congressmen With characteristic Morse tore into the ¢ Republican Party. “This coalition with the South- ern Democrats is costly,” he thund- ered. “We are now labeled the anti-human rights party.” The Oregon Senator went on to denounce his party’s leadership. “I speak only of the Senate,” he declared, “but in the Senate we have a few who hold policy meet- ings.
