EMPTY SOPHISTRY
When Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Capt. Robert
Dollar, J. C. Penny and a score of other leading cap
italists and business men of the country join m
a petition to the American people “to give prohibition
an'honest trial,” we wonder what they are taking about.
In the fixst place the 18th amendment was. dishon
estly conceived, it was put over by the Anti-Saloon
League during that period of hysterical patriotism
when America entered the World War. I he long haiis
and the long noses who regulate everybody s business
but their own seized the opportunity to play upon the
patriotic pulse, but it is safe to say that 80 pei cent of
the mass of the people didn’t know what it was all about.
We quit eating sugar or anything else they asked us
and the sugar barons immediately ran the price up to
a ridiculous peak and started profiteering among them- j
selves. Some of the very men who signed that “message
to the American people” made their everlasting fortunes
at that time and still wax fat on the fictitious values
that were established during the war and have never
been restored to normal. Prohibition was not a normal
thing and the great mass of the American people did
not want it as has been abundantly proved since. They
had theretofore declared themselves for local option
and even state regulation and had it been left thus we
would not now be saddled with this hopeless, hideous,
harassing “experiment” America is trying to make.
And the rest of the world sits back and laughs, and
laughs, and profits.
Every honest soul knows graft never was so ram
pant in the history of the country. Why?
Conceived in dishonesty,—for that is the only word
suitable for the work of the Anti-Saloon League and the
W. C. T. U. and all the rest of the regulators—there
never was or never will be a chance for honest enforce
ment. The boys coming back from France resented it
as an unwarranted curtailment of their liberty while
they were out fighting for the liberty of the world.
Eighty per cent ot the American people resented it af
ter they woke up from the war fever as another restric
tion on their personal liberty in this land that was found
ed on the rock of personal liberty.
The result has been a moral catastrophe to this na
tion. Every one who is not feverish with that damnable
viius of “reform” knows it and honesty can no more
flower from the stinking morass of dishonesty, crim
inality and moral depravity brought about by prohibi
tion than a virgin can emerge from a house of prostitu
tion.
All the world is a stage and all the actors want
speaking parts.
If you can take poker out of a poker game, than you’ll
save us a lot of trouble and future wars.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug., 29, (/P)—
Mines in two continents of the
southern hemisphere are about to j
be ransacked for new mineral spec- ;
mens with which to enrich the ;
mineralogical collections of the ;
Academy of Natural Science.
Samuel G. Gorden, associate cur- j
ator of the department of miner- |
alogy of the academy will sail to
spend two months in the mines of
the Bolivian Andes. Then he will !
cross to Cape Town.
He will collect in South African
mines for the .remainder of the
vear. He will visit copper mines j
in southwest Africa, copper chrom- )
ium, platinum, asbestos and dia
mond mii^es in Rhodesa and copper j
mines in the Belgian Congo.
The earthquake shock of night
before last is said to have been
an indication of wonderful duck
shooting, this coming week. Who
can tell?
Another benutv spot near Seward
beckoning to those who admire the j
outdoor is Lost Lake and numerous j
parties are now making the short j
hike ever the forestry trail, re
maining overnight at the lake.
Miss Gladys Irene Hedges and
Robert Rowland Lunday were unit
ed in marriage at Cordova last j
week.
Thomas H. Burman of Seattle
informs the Gateway that con- -
trary to a recent report that he ■
was interested in the firm of J. j
A. Carroll & Co., Fort Yukon, he
is not connected in business with'
anyone in Alaska.
Day by day the bugs and mos
quitoes are growing less in num
bers. Last night’s slight chill ap
parently scared a lot of ’em away.
ABOUT TIME

it is learned a well known avia
tor from the States will arrive

pose of surveying the feasibility
of inaugurating a service from
Seward to Westward points.

in southern California where men
