N. 0. HARDY'S BOOZE BILL

The only democrat who was elected from the First Division was N. o. Hardy, of Juneau. He made a great record in the last Legislature. He was a true representative of John w. Troy, editor of the Juneau Elm pire. One of the few bills intro- duced by MT. Hardy for which he fought was that bill to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Act. A few DOT tions of the act are worthy of special notice; for instance, Section One. We do not see why he did not attach the Declaration of Independence to this proposed act of his, but here it is:
 "Section 1. The Territory of Alas ka reaffirms the sincere attachment of her people to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and desires to make uniform the en- forcement of the provisions of article eighteen of the amendments to the Constitution. To that end, the penal provisions of the National Prohibit tion Act are hereby adopted as the law of this territory; and the courts of the Territory of Alaska, now ex- isting, or to be hereafter established, including the commissioners, ex- officio justice courts, are herby vest ed with the jurisdiction, ard the duty

GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN

An interesting incident of the leg iSlative session was the heroic ef- forts of 1sadore Goldstein to prevent the legislature from putting anything over on his deeply beloved friends, the fishermen.
 When it was proposed that fish ing boats to the value of $2,OOO and gear to the value of $1,OOO should be exempt from execution, Isa jumped to the defense of his friends. Quick action on Isa's part brought the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce into the fight. To Isa the idea of exempt ing the working tools of fishermen from execution was simply prepos- terous. How could Isa trust a fish erman for prunes or twine or rope if his boat should be made exempt
 Greater love hath no man for fishermen than he who giveth them credit for cork floats and lead sinkers.
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-07-15

is hereby imposed upon all district and prosecuting attorneys and their assistants, marshals and their depu- ties, grand juries, commissioners and peace officers in the Territory, to enforce the same"
 It is very thoughtful of MT. Hardy that he should seek to make the National Prohibition Act also the law of Alaska. Through some strong obsession the prohibition officers in Alaska have been making arrests and sending men to jail by virtue of the Volstead or National Prohibition Act, but from reading MT. Hardy's bill we feel there must be some great mistake about it, for appar- ently the National Act does not yet extend to Alaska.
 Section Six is another portion that is very enlightening and certainly must create rousing response and glow of patriotic enthusiasm in the hearts of MT. Hardy's friends, the bootleggers.
 "Sect;on 6. It being the desire of the Territory of Alaska that there be but one law in force to carry out the provisions of the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States" etc., the Bone Dry Act is hereby repealed. Mr. Hardy, however, was not sure that his proposed bill would be constitu- tional. Perhaps Congress might diff

A FOOLISH UTTERANCE
(The VerstOvian)

A recent editorial in paper largely circulated in Southeastern Alaska bears the caption, "A White Mans Party Is Necessary" The gist of the article is that the remedy for native Hitter acy is the combination of all white voters in one party upon the platform of white supremacy.
 As The VerstOvian has repeatedly stated it is so unfortunate that so vital a matter as the political fortune of the Native people should be made an incident in partisan politics. One of the unfortunate results is such absurd pro- posal as this. An interesting reply might be based upon study of U. S. history of the period terminating in the Civil war.
 But it is better to say that in this age men of vision are coming to a better understanding of the theory of the Brotherhood of Man than is expressed in this editorial The remedy for
 teracy is not to be found in the political excIu- sion of all Indians because of the deficiencies of some of them.
 Fortunately there is no serious danger of such an outcome. The onward progress of the native which the last few years especially has witnessed will not be stayed Wise native men as well as wise white men will continue to regard each

THE FROG THAT WAS BOILED TO DEATH

"ln one of the leading universities not long ago they placed live bullfrog in pan of cold water. The pan was then placed on a specially arranged heater. The temperature was increased gradually so that it took over one hour for it to reach the boiling point. The frog never moved, and was boiled to death without knowing it'
 The above paragraph was taken from The Real American, of May 29th issue, and is reprinted here to illustrate the condition in which resident Alaskans are finding themselves. Alaskans are very much like this frog. When you come to consider the fishery situation, we find that by the extension of the trap system we are slowly being boiled to death without knowing it, We wonder at the decrease in our population, and in the increase in wealth of very rich men. It seems that the ordinary citizen will not wake up until he is boiled to death.
