NOT HEARST, BUT THE GATEWAY PLAN!
Over the radio Monday night came the news that
the unemployment and economic situation is becoming
so serious that an extra session of Congress is again
being voiced and that immediate relief is seen with
elimination of the prohibition act, with the realization
by the multitudes Outside that the 18th Amendment is
partly responsible for the present deplorable condition
throughout America.
Hundreds of thousands of men and women would
immediately find work, with the lifting of the cursed
dry law; manufacturers of every description would re
new production on a greatly enlarged scale; farmers
would be given rightful relief, in fact, overnight the
present slumbering and dangerous attitude of Americans
would vanish.
Farms and orchards would again blossom; farm ma
terial and supplies wiould be purchased; industries of
every description would furnish clothing, machinery,
lumber and boxes, bottles, glassware, silverware, linen,
automobiles, trucks, in fact, just about every item in
daily use would again attain the market pinnacle of
former years. Ponder for a moment on this, reader,
and unless you are a dyed-in-the-wool advocate of pro
hibition, you will undoubtedly think of many more ben
eficial things accruing from the falling of the liquid
bars.
Prohibitionists probably prefer blood to liquor;
that's what they have been standing for by their atti
tude. Is unemployment better than permitting one to
exercise his personal right of drinking? Is it better to j
see men, women and children starve rather than permit j
legal drinking of beverages of alcoholic content?
It is about time to do away with this alleged noble
experiment. The country has experimented long enough
and never in its history has such a corrupt or bloody
page been recorded!
Finally, is it better for the scum of the earth to rule
our country—racketeers and corrupt public officials—
or those who seek to uphold the dignity and integrity
of not only the constitution but their daily lives?
Do away with the present days of anxiety, misery,
and want by doing away with the prohibition laws.
Wonder if Hearst thought of this plan?
Insteading of costing the government money it
would save money.
THANKS, DWIGHT!
Like his brother, Ernest Walker Sawyer, Dwight
L. Sawyer is also a great booster for Alaska as is shown
in a splendid article appearing in the July number of
Engineering and Mining World, in which Dwight L.
has written an illuminating story entitled, “What Of*
Alaska?”
Former obstacles to the development of the Terri
tory's mining industry are rapidly disappearing, he
writes. Transport facilities—trail, highway and rail
road—have expanded markedly and airplanes have found
increasing application. A map of Alaska and appro
priate articles accompany the story.
This is the sort of publicity Alaska needs and Alas
kans are grateful to Mr. Sawyer.
Whatever Midas touched was turned to gold; now,
touch the average man with gold and he’ll turn iuto
anything.
A South American newspaper leaves with us a
pearl of wisdom when it states that one of the calamities
bequeathed to the world by the war was the rise of
the expert.

LOCAL Hi THROUGH
PASSENGERS ON EVANS
; On Thursday afternoon, Mrs.
j Lydia Fohn-Hansen, of the Alaska
College Extension Service, will
give a demonstration at Brown &
Hawkins on the cold pack and
oven methods of canning local
vegetables and berries.
The canned products will be
given to those holding the win
ning numbers. The jellies and
jams prepared on Tuesday will be
sampled and composed for flavor
and texture. Government bulle
tins on canning will be distributed.
A number of ladies have taken
advantage of the morning sewing
classes at the parsonage, and
Thursday morning will be the last
opportunity for help with sewing,
as Mrs. Fohn-Hansen will leave
Friday morning for Moose Pass
and Hope.
The kindly cooperation of those
who have assisted in making the j
meetings a success is much appre- j
ciated, especially the use of the
Flamo Range at Brown & Haw
kins, and the use of the parson
age for sewing classes.
At noon today a plane from the
South arrived, carrying the two
Hearst and Movietone cameramen
who, it was previously reported,
were not coming until Friday.
