Alaska’s legislature must at least be credited with an eye for flash— or maybe it's just a flare for color and the desire to create something different. The instance of the bill that would have provided for a territorial pol ice force stands in proof of the con tention. Juneau’s Alaska Press ex presses the matter tersely in saying that Canada’s “Mounties” would be drab after the appearance of the territorial force. Representative J S. Hof man of Seward introduced a bill providing for the territorial police and How ard Lyng, representative from Nome, introduced an amendment to the bill. The purpose of the amend ment in this instance is beside the point. If the bill had passed with the amendment before the legislature adjourned. Alaska would have had a police force in which every man would be required to “dress in a jack et of pea green—breeches of salmon pink—and the footwear shall vary according to the divisions. “In the Second division they shall wear mukluks. “In the Fourth division, snow shoes. 1 In the Third Division, gum-boots. “And in the First Division, sneakers. “For headgear they shall wear a hat with a band of fish skin, with the emblem in front of a salmon head crossed with a herring head.” A British Columbia legislator re cently proposed* Canada’s acquir ing of the Alaskan panhandle, but ' was careful to ask for only that part that extended as far as Juneau. The legislature was in session there.

WASHINGTON CURRENT COW NT Continued From Page One short frontier to the south, an ocean to the east and an ocean to the west, (lie United States even in seasons of war maintains a sense of security That being true, peace-time sugges tions along the line of providing a vast military and naval machine for offense and defense ore scrutinized calmly and weighed and considered, like any other piece of proposed legislation. Germany has no simil ar geographical protection against invasion. She is an exposed target into which arrows may be shot from every side. It should cause no won der that Mr Hitler’s proposal to arm the Fatherland produced a great German shout of acclaim. Not all Germans look upon Jews and fra ternal orders as a menace and the Chancellor has offended in all di rections respecting religious mat ters. By invoking the oldtime Watch on the Rhine spirit, however, he has united Germany at his back Whether he acted as a pure patriot or merely as a politician masking his errors cannot be determined at present. One thing is certain. He selected a hymn that the entire con gregation could sing.

The guards, it ap pears, in some instances were of low mentality, inclined to ungoverned anger and proud of their small au thority. Many of the convicts, up on the other hand, were hard nuts, capable of being handled only by a cracking hammer blow. Prison re form, broadly speaking, involves putting better and more gentleman ly persons in jails, and finding chain gang bosses who arc qualified to ex ercise the prerogatives of a firm, wise, humane and just judge.
