APPROPRIATE CEREMONIAL

Alaskans who have learned to know Col. John C. Gotwals says the Juneau Empire do not have to be told that he earned in full measure the Distinguished Service Medal that has been conferred upon him. His work in Alaska has proved his ca pacity and disposition to render dis tinguished service in anything he undertakes. It is very appropriate that the Legislature has seen fit to make a public matter of the presen- tation of the medal. It gives the people of this Territory whom he has served for the last few years an opportunity to snow their respect and admiration for the distinguished army officer.

WOMEN JURORS ARE HARD
 ON WOMEN OFFENDERS

BERLIN, Mar. 27-German women, recently accorded the right to sit on juries in criminal cases, have shown an inclination to inn pose even more severe punishment than men, particularly in cases where the defendants themselves have been women
 T always feel sorry for a woman defendant" said a Berlin judge commenting on women's entry into the jury box, when majority of the jury is composed of the fairer sex. My experience so far has been that the women have less mercy than men, and hold out for verdicts accordingly"
 Ever since Germany became a republic and women gained the right 10 the ballot, the question of permitting them to sit on juries has been brought up for discussion from time to time, there being many op- ponents to the advancement of women's right among the public generally and especially in the legal profession. It was long contended that women were too tender-heart- cd to listen to sordid details of crim- inal cases. But the women demurred to these contentious, kept up the struggle for admission as jurors and, after nearly four years have finally won their point

that the administration only stepped in as a last resort because it had not been possible to get legislation to cover the situation, and that the reserve would only exist until such time as congress acts in the matter President Harding is not attempting to usurp the functions of congress, nor has he at any time. On the con- trary he has shown unusual con- sideration for the wishes and feel ings Of congress
 Likes and dislikes, and politics, should absolutely be forgotten in the consideration of the proposed resol- ution. Only one thing should be con- sidered. and that is whether the Territory of Alaska wishes to insult President Harding? It may be ar gued that even of greater consider ation than that is the abridgment of personal rights of fishermen. or for the conversation of the fisheries. But such is not the case, for the proclamation of the President will stand until congress meets agair next December, as now intended. If the legislature wishes to do some thing constructive but not insulting in the premises, let it adopt resol- utions, or a memorial to congress, asking it to put the fisheries ques- ton foremost on its calendar for the December term; to go into the matter thoroughly and pass such legislation as it may think proper for the conservation of this food supply. that the reservation may then be eliminated as is now intend ed by President Harding.
 l. Is certainty that President Harding will not change his procla- nation creating the reserve for this fishing season. And for that reason, If no other, the proposed insult can do no good and is likely to do ire parable harm. .:.-.

CONDEMNS HARDING

Representative Grant of Wrangell has introduced a resolution in the territorial legislature condemning the administration for it's action in creating fisheries reserve in the waters of Alaska and demanding the immediate abolition of such reserva- ton.
 Not often, if ever, commentes the Ketchikan Chronicle recently. in the history of the nation has state or territorial legislature. preponder- antly made up of one party condem- ned the federal administration of the same party. It is so unusual that the suggestion of it becomes almost amazing beyond comprehension.
 The present administration has shown keen interest in Alaska and its bureaus and departments have recommended legislation for the Ter ritory which as yet Las been in sev- eral instances overlooked or disre- garded. President Harding himself has shown especial interest in the Territory. He has repeatedly ex- pressed the desire to come to Alas ka 70 gain first hand information regarding il and has promised that he will make the long journey dur ing the coming summer unless some thing of vital national or inter national interest prevents. And if he does come, he will have shown more regard for Alaska than any of his predecessors, for never ia his tory has a president or even an ex- president set foot in the Territory.
 And now. The Chonicle states further, when he is about to So honor the Territory. is he to be greeted with 2. slap in the face from the legislature? t is un- rhinkable, And it is to be hoped that every member of the territorial legislature will give serious thought 10 the proposed resolution.
