WHERE THE BLAME LIES
Some days since we mentioned
George Butler of Seattle, former
Fairbanks saloonkeeper, refering to
the conditions in Seattle., Yesterday
we were handed a letter George wrote
his old partner, Jim O’Neil, of this
city, and in which George refers to
the prohibition movement in Seattle.
He encloses a bunch of clippings
from outside papers showing that
drunkenness and crime are on the in
crease in "dry” Washington and Ore
gon and warns the saloonmen of
Alaska that they must get busy if
they wish to avoid confiscation of
property, destruction of business and
“ property and all the evil of prohibit
ion. George's letter mentions the
cause of the birth and growth of pro
hibition—the saloon.
But for the improperly conducted
and inferior saloon, prohibition would
never have been born. Prohibition
is the effect of the misconduct of the
inferior saloon, and the prohibition
ists are now named the Anti-Saloon
League. They have ceased fighting
drink as a concrete proposition, and
are aiming at the cause of drunken
ness—the saloon. And, it is entirely
the crooked,unintelligent and amatu
re players in the saloon game who are
to blame for it all.
As a business, supplying the real or
faniced needs of mankind, giving
mankind what mankind considers
temporary or permanent relief of a
physical nature, the saloon is as leg
r itimate as a drugstore. If the saloon
is run as the drugstore is, it is ques
tion if there is not more harm done
1 from the dispensation of drugs than
there is from the dispensation of the
beverages which the saloon sells. It
is the abuse of the provinces of the
saloon which causes the prohibition
movement to grow' and which is put
ing states and counties in the "dry”
column. Because the saloon inter
ests cannot or will not—“will not” is
better, for they could if they would—
regulate and coutrol for the better the
conduct of the saloon and its relation
to the welfare of mankind, prohibi
tion is growing and flourishing. The
prohibitionists honestly knows and re
alize that prohibition cannot and does
not prohibit mankind from drinking,
1 but he does know that it does prohi
bit the saloon business from menac
| ing the country and he strikes direct
! ly at he saloon, which is killing the
: game through its inferior players.
In opposing prohibition for Alaska
we have no sympathy for the saloon
man. Whatever he may be up again
st in the fight is the fault of the play
ers of his game. The saloonman is
entitled t ono sympathy, for every
intelligent saloonman knows that the
drunk in drunkenness is no good bus
iness for him, does not get the money
in his business and brings him no
thing but criticism and blame. Sa
loonmen on the outside (particularly
in California)are realizing conditions
as they are and are beginning to pro
tect themselves and their business
f by regulating and correcting the sa
loons and their conduct. The tetter
class of saloonkeepers in California
have organized themselves into the
Buffet Owners Association, and in the
saloons of that association no man
who is under the influence of liquor
can obtain a drink, no matter how
much money he may have on him. In
Sacramento they organized the “No
Thank-You” Club, and in a week it
had 5,000 members. Each w'ears a
button inscribed “No, Thank You,”
and each member signs an obligation
to neither buy a drink for another or
take a drink with another man at
that man’s expense. If one of them
w'ants a drink he buys it, but he asks
nobody to drink with him—that is
TEMPERANCE. With the new or
der of things in California they may
keep the state from going dry, but un
’ less the saloonkeepers work honest
ly and earnestly to purify their own
business saltpeter won’t save Cali
fornia from the prohibition ranks.—

GERMAN-AMERICAN
STRAINED RELATIONS
The far from cordial feeling now
existing between the Germans and
the Americans leads to some amusing
incidents in the business correspon
dence between the two nations. For
instance, a Hamburg house wrote an
American publisher respecting the
nonreceipt of certain numbers of a
publication, with the requset that
they be sent on. In place of so doing,
however, the American publisher
sent the following terse note:
"Enclosed is an account for three
dollars and sixty cents ($3.60) which
now falls due for your subscription
form May, 1914, to March, 1916.
Every issue has been regularly mail
ed to you. If any is missing it pro
bably is because the ship was sunk by
one of your submarines. You had
better lay your claim against the
Kaiser. We take no responsibility."
To which the German firm replied
»
in the following choice Billingsgate:
"Your reply is a piece of shameless
impertinence. We request you not
to connect your failure to deliver
goods ordered with German subma
rines. Instead we advise you to take
action against your friends the Eng
lish, whom you allow to do as they
like with your mails.
“In the circumstances we decline
to pay you a cent. If you want your
money ask the dirty-souled Britons to
pay you on our behalf. Pray do not,
send us any more of your publication.
We shall decline to receive them
henceforth."—Saturday Night.

ALL YEAR SCHOOL APPROVED
(Springfield Republican)
Time is saved, and street loafing is
largely prevented and health is con
served by eliminating the long summ
er vacation, in the opinion of a city
school expert of the federal depart
ment of education who has been mak
ing a study of Newark’s all-year
school plan. The “vacation school,"
conducted in other cities, meets the
situation in part, but the long vaca
tion has such an ancient history of
precedent that the case against it will
have to be strong. Newark’s experi
ment will be use ful for every city.
