SKWAKl). ALASKA, FRIDAY, NOYKMHKR l<. DM(»
Now that the vote on \yet or dry lias gone how are
we going to make this Territory arid/
It is strange but it is nevertheless a fact that when we
voted dry or wet we were just giving an opinion.
The territorial legislature passed the measure for a
vote on the liquor subject, but the territorial legislature
has no more power to make this territory dry than you
or I.
What is more: There is no judge in the territory with
the power to say that Alaska must go dr\. A judge is
merely an administrator ot the laws: He is not a law
maker, and when an appointive judge becomes a law mak
er it is time to quit the country.
This is no argument for dry or wet. It is just an at
tempt to draw the mind to the real status of this question.
Of course. Alaska has stated in no unmistakable
terms that it wants to be dry and Congress will probably ■
take note of the fact, but until Congress, the machinery
of the people, acts there is no dry law in Alaska.
A federal judge can refuse a liquor license tor cause.
He can also easily find cause, but the question is whether
he can refuse all licenses or not and so take the place ot
Congress or anv other legislature by putting all saloons
*
out of business.
Needless to say, we have all the laws of morality on
our side when we ask for the closing of saloons but have
we all the laws of Democratic government? Democratic
laws require that justice must be employed for the stamp
ing out of an evil as well as for the advancement ot justice.
It was just as criminal, for instance, for the people of
Everett to shoot the Industrial Workers, so called, as it
was for the Industrial Workers to try by force to compel
Everett to see from their own view point. There must be
Democratic government or there must not be. Demo
cratic government has its faults. It lets unthinking peo
ple rule sometimes, but it has tremendous advantages.
Which would you choose? Would you like to be governed
by a judge who is pious or by the people who are erring?
Wouldn’t you say "Give us the people?”
Talking about that Everett affair; Hi Gill is right.
The so-called citizens of Everett had no more right to
shoot those agitators than the agitators had to shoot the
people of Everett, As a matter of fact, this country will
never be really free until the government becomes strong
enough to rule the people properly or to make the rule of
the people a lawful rule. It is just as much murder to
lynch a raping negro as it is to cut the throat of a mil- j
lionaire for his money. And why?—Because all crimes
are judged by human standards and human laws say that
a man must be fairly tried and fairly adjudged guilty by
his peers. Human laws say that you may not take the life
of any man unless he has been proven to have forfeited his
life. When you take the life without this proof you are
a murderer according to this law, and when you allow
yourself to ignore that law there is no reason why you
could not permit yourself to ignore all the other laws
passed by yourself and the others of your kind.

Bin a Rome in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The (Jovt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion oi the Johnson
Homestead.
A tracl in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the host offer tor a subcr
ban home ever made in Seward.
