FROM FRIDAY* DAILY
Constantinople, Jan. 8—The
Turkish government has de
/ ruled to put an end to the pol
icy of evasion it 1ms been at
tempting, and this morning ad
mitted that matters were ser
ious with it. In the first place
Hie ships of the French and
Briish fleets are bombarding
the forts at the lower end of
the Dardenelles, and have put
them practically out of bus
iness, then, there can be no
longer any doubt but that the
Russians have completely de
feated two Turkish armies,
putting one of them complet
ely out of 'business. In addi
tion to this, the Russian fleet
in the Black. Sea has 'gotten to
gether and is reported- to be
moving against the Bospnorus,
the Bulgarians and Rouman
ians 'are preparing to attack
Adrianople as soon as winter
is over, and now to cap the
climax aparentlv, internal dis
cords have broken out, and it
looks as, though the opposition
to the government will secure
control of the reins of govern
ment and oust the adminis
tration. The latter situation is
so serious that the governnTent
is preparing to move the seat
of government and especially
the treasury across, out oi
Europe and into Asia Minor,
where they think it will be
more safe. Enver Bey as ac
tual head of the government
is fighting to keep control,
but it looks as though he is
doomed to defeat.
Believed Austria Must Cease
Vienna, Jan. 8—The attempt
of the government to raise a
new army to face the Russian
hordes now pouring across the
Carpathians has resulted in
failure, and it looks as though

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
jOOD ADVICE TO
LIQUOR INTERESTS
In discussing Idle effort to
slop the sale of intoxicating
liquors to Indians, District At
torney Roth slated the other
nt\, that tflie saloonmen could
do mucli lu stamp out the prac
tice by aidug n .bringing the
men to justice, and he pointed
out how in that way they can
assist themsexves, says the
Fairbanks Citizen.
There is a lesson in what
Mr. Roth said that should he
observed by all licensed saloon
men. These are usually two
classes of liquor dealers, Just
as there are two classes of
other business people, the good
and the had. The saloon
keepers who resort to trickery
and questionable methods have
brought the business into dis
repute from which it is now
suffering. _
It is quite certain that the
tricky liquor dealer does more
to promote prohibition than
does the active reformer. lie
does this iby creating sentiment
against saloons, foe his trick
ery in almost all instances is
uire to he found out.
The saloonkeeper kvho sells
intoxicating liquors to Indians
or minors, or allows boys to
loiter in his place of business,
>r keeps ©pen on days forbid
len by law, defies the law and
hurts not only himself but the
other men who are engaged in
the same line of business.
In the last few years the dry
foods merchants have awaken
ed to the harm that is being
lone in their business by dis
honest, tricky dealers. To over
•'onie this lliey have organized
he Ad clubs, in almost all the
targe cities, and these clubs
liakc il their business to get
aws passed to prevent mis
eading advertisements and to
bring dishonest merchants to
justice.
Why could not (he law-abin
ng saloonmen of Interior Al
aska organize for the purpose
if raising (he standard of their
business. In that way they
■otilcl see that liquors are not
mid to habitual drunkars or to"
’hildren or Indians and could
Hit out of business the dis
reputable class of dealers.
There has already been an
effort made to get congress
!o pass a la'vv to put a stop to
lie saloon business in Alaska.
Tile fact that many of lhe
Stales went dry 'at the recent
‘lection shows the tendency of
he times. If the Alaska sal
lonmen are going to permit
their business to be degraded,
it. must be but a matter of a
'hort lime until prohibitive
aws will lie passed in this Ter
ilory, that will end their oper
ations here.—Ex.
