HAVE WE SWAPPED DEVIL FOR WITCH?
It was to bo anticipated.
The first act of the lame duck Congress, aided and
abetted by Democrats who have hitherto voted in betray
al of the people, was to defeat the Garner bill for repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment.
As if bent upon playing Samson, since repudiation
by an exasperated and disgusted public, the present
remnant of what has been the most disgraceful aggrega
tion of political buckanecrs who ever traduced and be
trayed a people, have run true to colors.
One hundred and forty-four men, by their adverse
vote, have sought to nullify the wishes of three-fourths
of the nation, which indicates how far the United States
has gravitated toward a dictatorship by pigmy personal
ities. Their alibi was they were not satisfied with the al
leged irregular method of Garner’s resolution. Bah!
It is remarkable that these men have not read the
hand-writing on the wall, which is not directed solely
upon themselves, but those who succeed them. Neither do
they seem capable of reading the signs of the times, when
thousands of men and women are marching upon the na
tional capital, and this on the heels of the atrocities heap
ed upon the defenders of the American flag by the Hoov
er administration.
No great historical reform movement from Calvary
to American Independence has been unaccompanied by
martyrs. This flaunting the will of the people seems to
have been timed to further inflame resentment and stir
them to militant action.
Verily these are times which try men’s souls; times
when the gravest responsibility impose upon the should
ers of conscientious leaders. The quality of this leader
ship will determine the future course of the nation.
This last act of mfamy by Congress but adds to the
inflammatory material placed upon a smouldering blaze
by the administration which began four years ago.
It is now a foregone conclusion that a special ses
sion of Congress must be called, when the full responsi
bility will rest upon the shoulders of the Democrats.
Instead of honestly trying to assist the incoming
President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the “die-hards” hope to
hand him a “lemona snarled mess.
And the W. C. T.U’s had better begin praying some
more before that special session in April.
Maybe what Jhnmie Walker said to Gandhi was that
while lie couldn’t make the Mahatma’s philosophy click,
given another break he would have had the taxpayers
affecting the “saint’s” sartorial adornment.
After becoming partially civilized an Eskimo tribe
got heavily in debt and headed toward the North Pole.
\Ve can understand that impulse.
Fifty thousand years ago Mousterian man had heavy
none ridges over the eyes and bulldog jaws and heavy
chins. That was before women learned to talk.
A Columbia professor wants the publication of crime
news restricted by -'aw. It would be even better if crime
could be restricted by law.
Our idea of a soft job would be that of tester in the
Ketchikan mattress factory.

The SS Starr, Capt. Andy Ander
son, left port this morning at 10:30
o’clock for the Westward. The ves
sel returned last evening from Cor
dova where Capt. Arthur Ryning
swapped jobs with Captain Ander- :
son, on the SS Northwestern, and
continued on to Seattle where he
will undergo further examination
for appendicitis.
Captain Ryning, providing he is
compelled to undergo an operation,1
will miss at least two voyages of
his command but Andy told him
not to worry; take his time and
come back well. Captain Anderson
has been acting at pilot on Alaska
Steamship vessels during the win- j
ter and knows every nook and cor
ner on the Westward run through
his long experience in Northern
waters.
The January sailing of the SS
Starr will be about the 5th.
Capt. John Malutin, owner of the
gasboat Marian, arrived in port
Monday afternoon, being 15 days
overdue. Anxiety was beginning to
be felt for his safety
