ALASKA’S SPLENDID TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
The announcement that the Alaska Steamship com
pany is arranging to acquire still another large liner for
the Alaskan service indicates that the demands for trans
portation next summer will exceed anything yet approxi
mated since the gold rush days. In view of the fact that
the company now has ships with a total carrying capacity
of 50,843 tons and contemplates adding at least 3,500 tons
more, wdth the additional passenger accommodations that
ships of this class afford, would point to something of im
portance. Possibly it is tourist business, which looms
largest in point of passenger demands, but unless all signs
fail there will be a greater volume of freight haulage next
summer than ever before owing to the splendid outlook
in *the mining fields and the consequent demand for ma
chinery.
In thus anticipating the demands of the future, the
Alaska Steamship company is only following the progres
sive program laid down three years ago, when its service
to Alaska, while meeting the immediate needs, could not
be boasted of. Successively, palatial ship after palatial
ship has been added until the Alaskan fleet is now capable
of meeting' the most exacting demands, either in point of
freight haulage or first-class passenger accommodation.
In line with other improvements, all of the latest aids to
navigation and safety of passengers have been adopted,
further accentuating the completeness of-the service.

BREAKING THE LAW
When Crito endeavored to save the life of Socrates by
counselling him to escape and thus break the law, the
great philosopher replied: “Do you imagine that a state
can subsist and not be overthrown in which the decisions
of the law have no power, but are set aside and over
thrown by individuals? . . . Did not the state bring
you into existence, nurture you and educate you ? . . .
If you may not do violence to your mother or father, much
less may you do violence to your country. . . He must
do what his city or country orders him or change their
views of what is just. . . for after having brought
you into the world, and nurtured and educated you, and
given you and every other citizen a share in every good
that it has to give, it further proclaim and give the right
to everyone that if he does not like (the state) when he has
come of age and has seen the ways of the (state and city)
... he may go where he pleases and take his goods
with him. . . But he who has had experience of the
manner in which (the state or city) order justice and still
remains, enters into an implied contract that he will do
as they command him. And he who disobeys is wrong
because he has made an agreement that he will duly
' obey (the state’s) commands, and he neither obeys them
nor convinces (the state) that its demands are wrong; and
they do not rudely impose them, but give him the alterna
tive of obeying or convincing them.”
In other words, if a man cannot by his vote enact
laws to suit him or defeat those enacted by others, he has
the choice of obeying until he can convince others that
they are wrong, or taking his belongings and going where
the law suits him better.
This observation was given 400 years before Christ
and has been vindicated successfully many times in the
rise and fall of nations.

DISABLED WAR VETERAN;
JUDGE SAYS “NIX MW”
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17. (^—Su
perior Judge Summerfleld refused ali
mony to Mrs. Mable Earley, seeking
divorce from August W. Earley. The
testimony showed the isole income of
the couple since their marriage was
a hundred dollar pension, Earley be
ing disabled. The judge said “He did
his bit during the war. You go to
work. This court won’t order a dis
abled soldier to support a healthy wo
man. You ought to be taking care
of him rather than trying to collect
alimony.”

anyone who desired to have him re
moved. I do not care for the office,
but I believe everyone will agree with
me that it is eminently unfair to thus
cast a stigma upon me, without a
stated case or charge that may be de
fended or denied.
“-I do not blame Marshal Sullivan,
because the matter was not within
his power as the records show. I can
only set it down to politics and the
acceptance by the Attorney General
of anonymous letters and alleged
pointed matter without making inquiry

I shall' take a course at the Fair
banks School of Mines and then de
vote my attention to my mining inter
ests in Valdez Creek and other places
where I have invested money along
with many of the most prominent men
in Anchorage, including Noel W.
Smith, manager of the railroad, Dr. J.
B. Beeson and many others.”
Mr. Staser’s friends attribute his
dismissal solely to politics, and some
anticipated the present situation. They
agree with the deputy marshal that
Delegate Sutherland took a violent
dislike to Staser, he citing the case
of where as a member of the Legisla
ture, he did not support some of the
measures before the House, wrhich Mr.
Sutherland desired passed and which
supported his sentiments against Sec
retary Hoover. Staser says Suther
land never forgave him for his atti
tude, and this was accentuated by
his support of Thomas Marquam for
Delegate to Congress, and the support
of-Judge Ritchie.
“I have no desire to recede from my
opinion with respect to Judge Ritchie”
said Staser, “and believe as I believe
then, that Sutherland was not fit to be
Delegate to Congress.”
