EFFECT OF THE JONES BILL
Coming on the heels of many unworkable expedients
for suppressing the liquor traffic, the Jones bill carrying
a penalty of five years in the penitentiary and a max
imum fine of $10,0000 will be found to fall far short of
that which was intended for it. It is safe to predict that
there will lie fewer convictions under the new law than
heretofore. The sale of liquor is not merely the concern
of those vho vend it; it is the concern of those who eon
sume it. As a great majority of otherwise impeccable
citizens will take a drink when occasion offers, and are
agreed upon the principle that drinking is a matter of
personal selection rather than the concern of him who
does not imbibe, it will be hard to find juries who will
tack five years upon the man who provides a drink. It
may take a long time for the extremists to discover that
you cannot legislate morals into humanity, but the his
tory of the prohibition act should be sufficient to con
vince them that it is a failure.
BULLFROGS AND MOSQUITOES
. Jonathan Wagner, chief of the bureau of education
activities in Alaska, proposes to introduce bullfrogs to
fight Alaskan mosquitoes. The announcement comes sim
ultaneously with one to the effect that limited-boxing
matches will be legal in the Territory.
But why put a crimp into boxing matches by intro
ducing a brutal spectacle? A battle between an Alaskan
mosquito and a chechako bullfrog would he something
akin to a hull right, with the odds all on the side of the
“skeeter.”
The government is put to it . digging up the cash to
keep the bureaus going. It it becomes necessary to make
appropriations foi parkas and head-nets for Mr. Wag
ner’s bullfrogs, some of the departures of the bureau of
educati; n are destined to be neglected.
Somebody might have told Mr. Wagner that a species
of huh frog inhabits the country between the coast and
Broad 1’ass, and that these frogs arc great jumpers—
they have to be to be; t a Kahiltna valley mosquito to a
dugout.
. The year before prohibition went into opera; i n the
United States produced 101,000,000 gallons of whiskey
2.700.000 gallons of rum, 3,400,000 gallons of gin, 21,50o’
000 gallons of commercial alcohol, or a total of about
175.500.000 gallons, in addition to 2,000,000 gallons of
malt liquor and 57,000,000 gallons of wines, Annually.
Now we can divide the above figures into: boot lei gers,
moonshiners, booze nuts, grafters, racketeers, gun'mobs
and safecrackers.
