JOHN THE GIANT
KILLER AGAIN
Emmeluth Swings His Axe at
the Officers Club in
Bungalow.


| Emmeluth is once more a boss. His
many resolutions against the Governor
and his wordy arguments in their favor
have once more re-established him as
chief fighting man of a section of the
Home Rulers Emmeluth has daily held
a little reception after his afternoon
| storm of invective is spent, and Is once
more patted on the back and hailed as
chief by his party
| In order to keep up popularity thus
gained however, sensations have to be
supplied daily and so yesterday morning
saw the Officers Club marked for de-
struction by John the Giant Killer. AS
dragged in for a share of the blame for
having allowed this iniquity to flourish
| under his very eyes
Emmeuth sees with prophetic vision,
without the aid of his magnlfying glass,
the ultimate success of the salary slash
| ing program and all his wel-laid plans.
I'VE have not Americanized the laws
| yet" said the re-established boss tri-
umphanty, but it seems likely that we
shall Amercanize the salaries and eX-
penditures."
The Officers Club resolution read az
follows:
Whereas, the Court of Claims is sock
ing quarters for holding sessions of said
court, and
| Whereas, the business which the said
Court was created to perform is of a
character requiring not less than six
months of sitting for its completion and
determination and
Whereas, it is the seise of this Legis-
lature that in view of the financial con-
ditions confronting the Territory it is de-
sirable to economic in every direction
possible; now therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the House of Representa-
tives. the Senate concurring, That 1t is
| the sense of this Legislature that the
Officers Club heretofore and now occu-
plying the Bungalow on these Executive
building grounds, be requested to vacate
the same, by the expiration of the cur
rent month;
That the Court of Claims be requested
to arrange for occupying that portion of
the Bungalow vacated by the Officers
Club, for the purpose of said commission
as soon as available.

Monsarrat inquired If the wet goods
We're to be left undisturbed and Emme-
luth replied that "he was no distller,
but that the presence of such a Joint
was a disgrace to the Territory"
Makekau once informed the House that
he intended going into the saloon busi-
ness If licenses We're not made too high
and now came to the rescue of the club
by offering an amendment that the
throne room be used for the Court of
Claims as soon as the House should
have vacated ii.
Robertson: This resolution is,
think, useless as the Court of Claims
has a right to sit wherever 1t chooses,
! 1t has chosen to be in the heart of the
community and this Legislature cannot
force 1t to sit in the Bungalow. Why
not use the drill shed or Judge Dckey' s
court in place OF the Officers Club?'
Emmeluth, pulling out the tremolo
stop that always sways his voice when
he is excited, then withdrew his resO-
luton in the following speech.
II plainly see that my honorable
friends consider that this is matter
that can be indefinitely delayed. Mr..
Robertson's-the Honorable Mr.. Robert
son's-arguments proceed simply from
his fertile imagination. If the drill shed
has TO be procured for the accommoda-
ton of the crowds, the Court Of Claims
VIII be so hampered and disturbed that
they will be unable to get through their
business. As far as the Officers Club
is concerned, II Is debasement OF pub
lie grounds which must be stopped
1T is n disgrace to the entire land. II.

Is an outrage that such "A thing exists
