NOTHING TO SAY

Last winter the cannery-trap ma chine wished to send their attorney to Washington, D. c. to send propa- ganda against Dan Sutherland back to Alaska, so they started an agita- tion for the division of this Terri tory. J. c. Barber went to Juneau to represent Ketchikan. A certain bunch met and adjourned after ap- pointing H. l.. Faulkner to draw up a new proposed Organic Act.
 Then the -that-be" tried to raise money to send R. E. Robertson back to Washington, and found it so difficult that they got discour- aged They put their heads togeth- CT and reasoned, "Why should we work so hard when we can put our hand in our own treasury, and give it to MT. Robertson. It is for the benefit of Juneau anyhow" And so they did.
 Burglars have much the same sort of reasoning. "Why work so hard for money when we can get it by simply taking it. We will give some of it to the poor and that will be helping the city anyway"
 In the end, however, the courts determine what is right. While the burglars have to go to jail, all our Juneau friends will have to do is to return the money.
 When MT. Robertson and Mayor Izzie Goldstein were asked what they would do in view of the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals saying that the grant of this money, $2,OOO, to Robertson was illegal, these men are reported to have said "We have nothing to say" No, not word; not a word.
 And still the sheep-minds of Ju- neau will continue to follow their Shepard; they will return these same men to office; intrust them with city funds; and put up with the Demo- cratic machine.
 R. E. Robertson will be given more honors; pehaps he will get the city's backing for the job of Judge pro-
