in these parts and elsewhere in Al aska is due to politics or not. J. R. likes to be doing something. Of course, his doings are all for the big fellow, but just the same, he does them because he likes to be doing something and he believes that the cannery and trap system is all right for Alaska.
 He made great hit with the Salvation Army Congress when they convened here last month. His words of promised help to the Indian dele gates sounded sweet to them and he was greatly cheered. But fisher men must not forget that the same J. R. Heckman is the owner of tie Hickman Floating Trap patent which has done more to deplete the salmon streams of our country than any other deadly device. Until J. R. tells us that he is against the traps, and until he helps us to abolish them we'll say, he is kidding you about being your friend.
 No, we don't really believe that the genial J. R. is just doing "poli- tics" He says not.

We interviewed William L. Paul and he told us in confidence that he was going to file for the legislature this time. He said that he was go- ing to use the platform Polly used the time he got elected, to-wit: "I stand for the present administration of coordination and progress" Of course, Polly never explained what that phrase meant. Naturally all the Indian illiterates voted for him and that is why he got mad and declared they were corrupt" and said that for that reason a literacy test should be adopted.
 But Paul is going to file and he will run on a platform of Home Rule, Abolishment of Fish Traps by Taxation, a decent workman's com pensation law, and worthy support of the Alaska College at Fairbanks.

Why will the American people send men who drink to the legisla- ture to make their laws. Senator Chamberlain, the Hon. Joseph Mur- ray, H. R. Shepard, Frank Foster, and some others. Perhaps Frank will deny that he drinks; then let him answer where he got his black eye during the last term of the legis- lature; or ask him if he was not lucky bird when that road house was raided just about a half hour after he, with certain others of the "Solid Third had departed.

LAWFUL MARRIAGE IN
 ALASKA

Formerly, a license to marry could only be secured from a United States Commissioner. This often meant trip during any season of the year of two hundred miles. This was very hard on the Natives of Alaska, who have been marrying and giving in marriage" for several hundred years before U. s. Commissioners were invented. But law and or'!er

Is Senator J. R. Hickman preen- ing himself to run for Senator again |? That is hard to say. The ex-Sena- tor is such fine man to meet, so genial and ready to help that we cannot say whether his appearances
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

must prevail. When J. c. Murphy was attorney general, he advised "that ministers of the gospel who would be called on to perform mar riages in out of the way places, far from Commissioners, would have some way of getting around the law without having to wait for a license and which would be issued by the Commissioner after having examin- ed both applicants.
 We have not learned if ministers have gotten around the law" yet or not, but the last legislature now pro- vides that notary public may be authorized by the District Court to issue marriage licenses where there is no commissioner within fifty miles. What is fifty miles when lovers are about to tie up "till death us do part?"
 As many inquiries have come for this law, we print it herewith:
 Section No person shall be joined in marriage in this Terri tory until a license shall have been obtained for that purpose from duly appointed and qualified United States Commissioner; provided that there is no United States Commits sioner within fifty miles, a notary public may be authorized by the District Court to administer the oaths, issue the marriage license, collect the specified fees in lieu of the United States Commissioner; Provided further that the District Court shall require said notary pub lie to make immediate return of li- cense issued and fees collected to the nearest United States Commissioner by personal delivery or by United States registered mail. Be it fur ther provided that the penalty for failure of said notary public to make the returns as above specified and the manner of recovery of said pen alty shall be the same as set forth in sections ten and eleven of this Act.
 Chapter 57, Session Laws of 1923, Approved April 28, 1923.
 Credit Rev. David Waggoner for proposing the amendment, William L. Paul, secretary of the Alaska Native Brotherhood at that time, for drawing it up, and the Hon. Thomas Price for introducing it in the House and of giving it his sup port.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

discussed the questions with all kinds of citizens.
 The question of 'Moonshine came up, and to the credit of the dele gates, they voted unanimously to stamp out this evil, to report all violations of the 18th amendment, and to cooperate with the prohibi- tion officers. As direct result of this resolution, the Juneau Camp has convicted three Indians. It is report ed, howevethat Commissioner V. A. Paine is dismissing complaints coming from the Indians with nom- inal fines and rather poking fun at their efforts to clean up their vil- lage.
 Another question that came up was marriage of Native girls with Fili- pinos. The Hoonah Camp brought in a resolution, as did the Angoon Camp, and after slight changes the resolution was adopted. It warns fathers and mothers to oppose such marriages because, they said, the canneries are not bringing up the good class of Filipinos to work the cannery, but mostly the worst sort The resolution would have been sweeping but for the fact that some of the speakers testified that there were few marriages of this sort that were all right.
 The Convention pledged itself to carry on the fight for better schools, for better attendance, for better cit izenship, for the abolition of all fish traps, and for the extension of the entire organization.
 The officers elected to have charge of this work for the ensuing year are Peter Simpson, of Sitka, President; Haines De Witt, of Rake, vice-presi- dent; Louis F. Paul, of Petersburg, secretary; Ralph Young, of Sitka, treasurer; William L. Paul, of Ket- chikan, as Attorney and actively in charge of extension work through their newspaper and by visiting the different Camps.
