The enfranchisement of women,
and changes in the naturalization
laws, have brought about many Gu
rious tangles. Before woman had the
the vote, they were not fussy about
naturalization. The man did the vot-
ing for the family, and the wife took
his citizenship. Suppose he was not
naturalized; what difference did it
make? The woman could not vote
anyway. But when the woman was
given the ballot, then she became an
entity. So the law was changed, to
give her separate citizenship, and it
became necessary for her to be
naturalized as well as her husband.
Then arose some curious cases. At
the present term of court in Ellis
worth, a woman born in Hancock
county, of American parents, was
granted naturalization papers. She
had married an alien before he was
naturalized, and took his citizenship.
This of course, was before the law
was changed. Later, he was natural
lied, but the wife discovered that
she was an alien. So it became

Under the present law, woman does
not lose her citizenship by marriage,
Another woman, American born, was
preparing to take a trip abroad two
years ago, with her husband, who
had been naturalized. They applied
for passports. The husband could
get his all right, but the woman dis
covered that she was a foreigner. The
necessary time to procure natural
ization papers caused the postpone
ment of the trip for two years. Last
October she came to court confident
that she would go back home an
American citizen. But another law
stepped in; it was too near the date
of an election, and naturalizations
were prescribed at that term. Last
week she got her papers, and now
she says she is going to take that
deferred trip whether her husband
goes or not.

Frank r. Guernsey, who covets
Senator Fernald's seat, has not
helped his own candidacy in the re-
publican primaries by criticizing Mr.
Fernalds vote against the bonus.
Even though all may not agree with
Senator Fernald, everyone must
admire him for standing on his own
feet. He has earned the reputation
of voting as he talks. Mr.. Guernsey's
criticism leaves the impression that
he would be a trimmer; a time-ser-
yer; and we have too many of them
in Washington already. In this par
ticular case, Senator Fernald stands
with President Coolidge, and to at
tack his position on the bonus is to
attack the Presidents position. That
is dangerous political pastime just

"Sherm" Douglas of Lamoine
loses no opportunity to boost Maine,
Hancock county or Lamoine, as the
case i'm hand may offer. Now he is
at work on a plan that would help all
three. Down at Lamoine, as most
people in these parts know, there is a
Coaling station, abandoned some
years ago by the government, and
neN, month the buildings are to be
sold at auction. Out in Detroit, as
most people also know, is a man
named Henry Ford, who makes Ford
cars. Mr. Douglas plan is to bring
these two together. Mr.. Ford sells
a few cars in this country, but he
also sends a few abroad Just now
he is looking for a site for an as
sembling plant on the New England
seaboard, for cars for export Mr..
Douglas is sure that the coaling sta
tion site is just the place for him,
and has taken the matter up with the
Ford company by correspondence.
He is prepared to go out to Detroit
and prove it to Mr.. Ford, if he gives
him the opportunity.

The bottom went out of the pres

The bottom went out of the pres
ent term of court with the disposal
of the power company cases, assigned
for Monday, and the trial of which
was expected to occupy the greater
part of the week These were the
cases of Whitcomb, Haynes " Whit
ney, the c.. j. TreWorgy Corporation,
f. H. Gould, and several others,
against the Bar Harbor & Union
River Power Co., growing out OF
damage in the freshet and flood last
spring. The cases were referred by
agreement to three judges, Chief
Justice Cornish and Associate
Justices Morrill, and Deasy, and will
be heard June 10.
The disposal of these cases left no
other cases on the civil docket for
trial, and the criminal docket was
taken up yesterday and to-day. The
traverse jurors were finally excused
for the term this afternoon, but court
probably will not adjourn finally un-
til Friday.
There were three jury trials last
week. The first case tried was that
of Stinson & Crabtree of Hacock VS..
b. d. Mcclellan of Dexter. This was
an action for breach of guaranty on
a secondhand boiler bought by plain
tiffs for their factory at Hancock.
Defendant claimed that the boiler
was all that he had represented it
to be and adequate for the original
purpose for which it was purchased
the canning of blueberries. When
later the plaintiffs added a saving
outfit it was an additional demand
on the boiler of which he had no
knowledge when he sold it, The jury
returned a verdict for defendant.
The second case tried was that of
Henry A. Colpitts of Ellsworth
against Ebert W. Richardson of Mt.
Desert Ferry, for damage to an auto
mobile in collision. The car, Star
sedan, driven by plaintiffs daughter,
Miss Doris Colpitts, was run into on
the Bangor road on a foggy evening
by defendants car. The driver
claimed to have been blinded by
lights of plaintiffs car. Evidence
tended to show that PLAINTIFFS car
was we'll on the right side of the
road, and the jury placed RESPONSE
bility for the accident on defendent,
assessing damages at 1915. Hale &
Hamlin for plaintiff; D. e. Hurley for
defendant.
The third case tried was that of
the Shepard & Morse Lumber Co., VS..
B. Lake Moves, d. Jewett Noyes and
George S. Noyes, jr., doing business
as the Stonington Lumber Co. This
was an action on account for cord
wood sold to defendants at Stave
island. Defendants admitted the
bill, $21S, but claimed an offset of
$3.50 for use of scow in Tightening

trap system. The reason is simple. But this method, the trap which catches the most fish and hence which is the most valuable would pay according to it's value.
 However, the fish trust had an able advocate of modern politics at the legislature. Against the actual experience of Paul, MT. Hickman, vice-chairman of the Alaska Terri torial Fish Commission, placed his. He maintained the traps were not depicting the fish streams. And as his most telling question, he asked Paul: "Why was Moira Sound de- pleted before the advent of the trap?" Because Paul was not given a chance to answer this question by the sudden motion to adjourn made by Senator Aver, of Nome, we will make the answer now.
 The reason is that Former Sena- tor J. R. Hickman, at the time he mentions, while Superintendent of the Alaska Packers cannery at Lor- ing and also of their hatchery, FENCED THE MORA SOUND CREEKS so THAT NO SALMON COULD GET UP THE CREEK.
 J. R. is now the Vice-Chairman of our Territorial Fish Commission, and owns the Hickman Floating Trap patent, the greatest extermin ator of fish yet invented. Our car pet-bagging governors work that way, the greater your power to de- stroy fish the more power you will get to run the business or make the laws.

Carl Strong, who with J. c. Bar Der, rules Ketchikan, went to the Pcstoffice early one Sunday and called up the Postmaster to come down and sort cut the mail and see if anything had come for him. The postmaster said he would come down after breakfast. But that would not do, said the other.
 The following Wednesday at the Commercial Club luncheon, MT. Strong got up and said to the Pres ident-J. c. Barber, that he had complaint to make against the Post master, that he was not tending to business, service was poor, etc., but made no mention of his own little tiff, and wanted the commercial club to take up the complaint with Wash ington.
 President Barber said he thought that might be left to the Executive Committee. This committee consists of Barber, Strong and one other. Pretty good, eh?
 Then this committee without fur ther authorization or consideration by the Commercial Club sent strong protest to Washington about the 'bad" postmaster and signed the telegram "Ketchikan Commercial Ciub." Of course this last statement was untrue, but what is the Ten Commandments between Friends?

900 to the $15O,OOO on the hill, and we have city indebtedness of $250,0O0. When it comes time to consider renewing the electric and water franchise, MT. Barber will say, 70, you cannot think of bonding the city more heavily to take over my business. Just think of what a heavy tax that will be on the poor pro- perty owner"
 MT. Barber does not care about tax payers. He cares about himself and his bank book. The war-cry for the city election should be, 'Turn the rascals out" You can, but you wont.

HoD 10 Judge Candidates

There are two classes of men run ming for public office; First, those who are honestly seeking to do public service and, second, those who have secret purpose but who an- nounce a public one. How can you tell the honest from the dishonest one?
 The answer is very simple. The people generally know certain key men in politics on both sides, For the People, and Against the People. Birds of a feather flock together"
 You will find certain men who are nearly always Against the People and serving the big interests, among these are H. L. Faulkner and R. E. Robertson, corporation attorneys of Juneau; also John w. Troy, their mouthpiece, editor of the Juneau Empire; J. c. Barber and H. c. Strong, in Ketchikan; Tom Donohoe, Frank Foster, Joseph Murray, in the Third Division. Whenever these men endorse man, There's a req son" and you are not in on it.
 These men are endorsing certain men for public office, among whom are J. H. Davies of Ketchikan, for Senator; H. R. Shepard and V. A. Paine, of Juneau; J. B. Gurr, of Wrangell, and Howard Ashley, of Skagway, for Representatives.
 They are opposing F. J. Hunt of Ketchikan, for Senator; Perry Hern of Skagway, Chas. B. Ferguson of Craig, w. D. Grant of Wrangell, William L. Paul of Ketchikan, Ire vor Davis of Juneau, J.. Nolan of Douglas, for Representatives.
 The issues are clear, and you will find the Key Men opposed to them; for example, Home Rule to the limit of the Organic Act; Abolishment of the Fish Trap by high license; Fair Taxation of all industry; Investiga- ton of the Transportation Question; Territorial Control of Workmen's Compensation.

uC CS1AlS O1 CuC lOlIOWluS COun- cilmen expire this year, H. R. Thomp- son, Axel Osberg, John Anderson, and the school director, J. c. Barber.
 Citizens should now ask them selves what the past council has cone for Ketchikan.
 Rather, let the citizens ask them selves who is the government of Ketchikan.
 J. c. Barber.
 Let that name stand alone. It de- serves paragraph all by itself. Let the name be turned into the heart of every citizen for shame for men and women who call themselves "good citizens" have turned the con- trol of this city to a single man.
 J. c. Barber with Carl Strong are so rich, and they hold such a posi- tion in this city as controlling in terests of the Docks over which we must ship, the water and power com pany, power over credit in the Bank by their control of the directors, that these two men CAN MAKE AND BREAK any business man in this town, with two or three excep- tions. The two exceptions that I know about are Dr. George Dickin- son and William l.. Paul.
 J. c. Barber has been on the school board and has dominated that board for many years. This Board has only formal meetings. THE DE- CISIONS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD ARE MADE OVER THE TELE- PHONE, and J. c. BARBER DOES THE DECIDING.
 How long, how long are the citi- 2ens of Ketchikan going to kiss the feet of this man. Men call them selves independent, but the soul of Ketchikan belongs to J. c. Barber and Carl Strong. These two men have made themselves rich by stand ing on the unfortunates.
 The Council never made a move for the school building until Barber became willing. Through this man, this city is now committed to spend S15O,O00 of the taxpayers money for a school building in a place where it will do the least good.
 The penalty for this crime should be to compel the councilmen who have bowed to Barber to stand by Dr. Dickinson's corner and watch the small children plodding the last bit of two miles to school with still big hill ahead
 Little children, leg-weary, tired be- fore the day has begun, must con- tinue to travel two miles and eat cold meat because Barber wants to sink $150.000 into pretty building.
 The real reason back of this waste of the public's money is so that the city cannot raise money to take over
