 This armament has proved etfica- cious.

Organized Minorities Country's Menace.
(Cinclnnaal Enquirer. ]

Representative Frank w. Mondel, who retired March 4, after service in Congress covering period of 26 years points the organized lobby as the nations greatest menace. In his judgment the country would have been far better off if members of Congress had voted they talked in the cloak rooms rather than under the pressure aggressv ve mlnorties as represented by the organized lobbyists Strange confession, reserved for utterance after 26 years of public servce
 MT Mondell says the number of organized lobby sts IS increasing, and that in the their power Congressmen lose their courage, and vote not their honest convictions, but according the demands oi the lobbyists!
 Representatives in the Senate and House are chosen by the people to the interests of the public as a whole They make oath so as to serve the public But, according to this authority the minority lobby is stronger their inherene sense ol duty stronger than the obligations of their oath,
 The man who has not the independence the courage and loyalty to stand firmly by his convic tions has no right to represent the people in House or senate. Whom he fails in this essential duty he forfeits his right continue as a member of those bodies Hear this lamentable admission.

The Grand Jury Report.
(Ketchikan Chronicle )


 Truly document issued in many years has been pertinenty critical and at the time constructive in character than the special port of the Grand Jury, returned to Judge T. NJ Reed in the United States District Count yesterday ing after ten days of investigation. And particularly is it valuable document at this time when the Leg islature and the national government giving ex- traordinary consideration to this question of na- tional food supply.
 The personnel of the Grand Jury, made up of more than twenty men whose average residence in Alaska is not quite sixteen years whose occupations pected in any Grand Jury in any part of the United States bespeaks fairness. And the list of witnesses which appeared before the Grand Jury, set forth in the report, show that the judicial tribunal heard, it should every conceivable side of the question.
 Four salmon trolers, two fresh fish buyers, three private trap owners, fifteen seners operators of seine boats, six cannery superimtendents and oper- ators three business men, government investg ga- tors testified. It would be nconceivabe to imagine the congregation of whose opinions and informa- tion on the fishing question could be more varied.
 The Grand Jury, act fairly and impar- tially and made up of splendid body of citizens as It would be possible to congregate, had axes to grind. It's only object to inquire fully and fairly into every angle of the most troublesome ques- ton that has ever confronted the people of Alaska and it took its obligation seriously as is shown by the days the members sat in a stuffy room at the Courthouse and heard long drawn out testimony. And most significant feature of the report is that every member of the Grand Jury signed the document. showing that the conclusions reached unanimous a feat in itself rather extraordinary in Alaska Collectively and individually, the members of the Grand Jury to be congratulated upon their work which is one of the most constructive documents ever published cn the fisheries question Southeastern Alaska, and it is to be hoped will accomplish the purpose for which it intended-to conserve industry fer Alaska for all time.
