SPEAKS BEFORE
CURRENT Events

Hon. Ransford w. Shaw was the
speaker before the Current Events
club on Thursday afternoon. the
meeting being held at the home OF
Mrs. s. c. Webster. His address was
interesting and closely followed by
all the ladies present. Mr.. Shaw first
gave Il brief history of his depart
ment which began with the forna-
ton of the State government III ls20
and has steadily grown IN duties
and Importance since, explaining
that he is the Sthirty-second attorney
general to hold office in Maine. The
speaker said that his most import
ant work at the present time is along
these three lines: Furnishing infor-
nation and legal assistance to the
Governor and Council and heads OF
State departments, assisting county
attorneys in their work and admin
istcring the laws relating to inheri-
tances taxes.
Declaring that much Of the pro-
eress which has been made toward
a better observance and greater res
poet for our laws had been due TO
the influence of the women and
their clubs. Mr.. Shaw said. THE
time has come when our citizens.
both men and women, expect to find
all lnlpOItaHt olllciai PoSAeion
with men who are strict tetola1lers.
If. however, the men voters become
careless in this respect the women
may be depended upon to support
only the right kind Of candidates.
Mr. Shaw also founN words of
praise for many of our present court
officials. mentioning in particular
County Attorney Sanborn OF kenne-
bee as one 10 whom great credit Is
due. The entire tone of his address
was hopeful and rcassuring and the
Attorney General assured his aud
fence that the work OF our churches.
clubs, the prohibition law and many
other influences have combined TO
fulfill the prayers and justify the
faith of our fathers that serious Of
fences against society would event
uoIlv become rare in our State.

40 or more delegates. The services
were full of inspiration and help to
the earnest workers assembled.
Scripture and prayer were read
and offered by Rev. Howard H.

Rev. Ralph A. Sherwood
a stirring message was brought
by Rev. Ralph A. Sherwood of Sa-
lem. Mass, former president of the
New Hampshire G. +. Union, when
he took for his subject. "fhc Chal-
lcnse OF the -Four Square Life"
Some of the leading thoughts
which he left with his audience:
The hope of the future lies in the
youth of the land. There is a ring
ing challenge in the world today
which must be answered by the
young people of this generation.
Shall might or right prevail?
Shall America be pagan or Chris
tian?
Shall we have Christ1ess world
or world WITTY Christ as King?
With YOU lies the answer, Noung
people. Youth possesses the ele-
mcnts which make tor victory. This
is the period OF Astounding cnthusi-
aSm. Challenges are welcomed be-
cause they test the courage. and
arouse the finest loyaltics. 1t is the
time of contest and temptation. The
hour of great Victories or humili-
ating defeat.
DIR. Richard Cabot of Boston saws
the normal life is four square. 1t
must partakc of Work-Play-Lov
Worship.
To meet the challenge of this four
square life, will be to meet the chal-
lenge of that larger world of indi-
vidual responsibility and Christian
service"
MIR. Sherwood then in a practical
and forceful manner developed this
four-fold character Of effective indi-
vidual Christian life. He closed his
address with an earnest appeal TO

The Alaska fisherman., 1924-10-15
REMINISCENCE

A number of years ago I was sit ting in the railway station in liar risburg, Pa., waiting for my train. I was then mere boy, not long out of barbarism and anxious to learn the ways of civilized life so I kept my eyes open. I was amused at a couple of white folk across me because the woman was i'm mense and fat while her husband was very short and small. She was smoking cigar. After she smoked about two thirds of the cigar she took it out of her mouth and stuck it in his. He only lost one puff in the exchange but he seemed to enjoy the stub.

of the trap. And yet the Juneau Empire is raving because the Sulzer bill was defeated.
 *
 The difference between the Paul policy and the Juneau Empire policy is that Paul would abolish all traps and thus give the little resident fisa- erman chance to make a living, while the Empire would abolish all seining and gill-netting so that the Chicago and Seattle Alaskans might enjoy their grand operas.
 *
 Doctor David Starr Jordon hea.l- ing the commission appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate the Alaskan fisheries says regard ing the traps:
 '"They are most harmful where most successful"
 or pounds ought to be eliminated from Alaskan waters. They involve the automatic destruction of more fish than the rivers can stand"
 In a letter to I. N. Hylen of San Francisco dated October 22, 1907, he said: "I believe that the interests of the fisheries demand the removal of all stationary traps and pounds,--- that the operation of traps is in 10 wise essential to the profitable con- tinuance of the industry.
 * *
 They left the conservation of sal mon fisheries to the Packing Trust and they conserved their vested in- terests.
 * * * *
 For some time, l really thought the Ketchikan Chronicle had adopted an editorial policy of it's own. But of late, it seemed to have gone back to it's "bottle baby stage" for almost every editorial is mere copy from the Juneau Empire or the Seward Gateway.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-10-15
SNAP SHOTS

the kind that IS approved by the "Gentleman from New York;" recom- mends that traps in Icy Straits must be at least two miles apart. The fish are about gone in Icy Straits and this rule vii lsave the canneries building dummy traps" to protect their good locations. But in the Ketchikan district, where the fish are still running good, the Advisory Board" thinks it is all right for traps to be 1900 feet apart. Why not eliminate the traps around Ket- chikan before the fish are gone?
 * *
 There was time when all the In- dians were voting the Democratic ticket, but no more. Even ilEterates cannot stand the corruption that emanates from John w. Troy.
 * *
 I suppose that in the next genera tion a lot of Indians will be voting the Republican ticket merely because their Dad or their Mother did so And then the shades of Stroller White will groan in their Democratic well, wherever it is that good Democrats go when they die.
 *
 The Governor of Alaska has op- posed the Secretaries of Agriculture and of Commerce with his co-ordi- nation plan, and Delegate Suther- land has opposed in part the Secre- tary of Commerce. The federal off cials are supporting the Democratic nominees, the Democrats are trying to oust the Republican administration. The Democrats went into the Re- publican primaries, and still so-called administration" men were nom- mated, and so the arch-Democrat paper, the Juneau Empire, says that you must support the Democratic ticket. Even visiting school teachers will be confused to know "what's what"
 *
 Two years ago, Scott c. Bone said the trouble with Alaska was that we had too many Bureaus governing it, and not enough coordination. Presi- den tHarding made us a visit, and then made speech in Seattle. He then said, "There is nothing wrong with Alaska. Everything is as it should be-" Since then Scott C. Bone has quit thinking. His "bread and butter" was in great darher.
