THE TARIFF COMMISSION

The investigation Of the United
States Tariff Commission has not
not developed anything very startl-
ing. AS usual, students of Govern
ment are still trying to find out what
good tariff commissions and tariff
bonds are, anyhow. In past years
their conclusions were sent to Con-
gress, and the legislative branch of
the Government punched holes in
their recommendations Nowadays,
quicker action is obtained along that
line as the President doesn't wait
for Congress. Under the provisions
Of the tariff law figured out to make
possible flexible tariff" the Presi-
dent has the right to affirm or dis
approve the recommendations Of tho
Tariff Commission. The Commission
has found President Coolidge rather
hard to convince.

Establishment of Lawn

Many trees are planted in straight
rows raound home along the edge

An upstate newspaper carries an
interesting article, quoting Jennings
Randolph Of the West Virginia Re
view and close friend Of Mrs. Iset-
ia Jewell Brown as saying that the
fair West Virginian may be a serious
contender for the Democratic nom
nation for president. Mrs. Brown is
undoubtedly the leader among the
Democratic woman of the country,
but it is probably far cry to that
day that eitherof the leading parties
will name a woman for the nomina-
ton. In view of the effects of the
last election on John w. Davis, for
mer West Virginian, we cannot hope
that any such a blight as another
Democratic nomination for the pres
idency will fall upon the excellent
Mrs. Brown.

THE STATE POLITICALLY

Announcement has been made by
the State Road Commission that Ii
cense plates for automobiles will be
distributed from number Of cities
outside of Charleston for 1927. Now
that all automobile owners have GER
tificates Of title, law passed by the
late legislature to particularly pro-
tect automobile owners from theft,
the commission feels that local dis
tribution should be given attest, altho
such progressive good-roads states
as Pennsylvania, Maryland and III
inois still have central distribution.
However, the commission knows
that there is general demand for
local distribution and feels that the
people should have what they want.
d. W. Cross, of Waynesboro, Vir-
ginia representative of the Nation
al Republic, of Washington, was
recent visitor at the state headquar-
tiers. Mr.. Cross is native of john
son county, Tenn, and the precinct
in the United States which won the
Mark Hanna silk flag, offered as
prize in 1896 to the precinct which
would give Mckinley the highest
percentage of its votes. That pre-
cinct cast it one hundred per cent
and the flag is souvenir proudly
displayed at political meetings. And
after thirty years, the precinct is
still solidly Republican and has no
Democrat in it. The National Re
public is now in magazine form and
should be in the home of every Re
publican and independent voter and
an occasional dose of it will not
hurt the most rabid Democrat.
About that time, Big Run pre-
cinct, McElroy district, Tyler county,
had almost as good record. In
list Of more than one hundred voters
there was but one Democrat, an old
Confederate soldier who could not
read and write. To comply with the
election law it was necessary to draw
a Democratic commissioner and clerk
from one of the other precincts of
the district before voting could be-
gin at Big Run. But the precinct
now has a number of Democratic
voters.

SUTHERLAND ON THE DEFENSIVE

Dan Sutherland m his address last evening at the Liberty theater made two assertions which absol uey incorrect Frst-that the "shyster journalists" of Alaska had failed to relate in detail to their readers &C., papers, that vital paragraph of his answer to the charges of sponsoring the vicious article was not publish ed by the shyster journalists" The Gateway publish ed his answer in full and did every other large Alaska newspaper Second-hat the law firm of Donohoe Di- mond control Alaskan newspapers his so-caled oppos- ton Tn the present delegate The Gateway is not controlled by any firm of lawyers dictated to by any political facton but is independently controlled by it's owners.
 With the exception of the paper published by Wm l.. Paul. the Indian attorney of Southeastern Alaska ex- changes received in The Gateway office all point to the fact that every paper in Alaska has taken up the cudge against Sutherland and doing everything in their power to defeat him at the pOls November 2 That is ''shyster journalists"
 Playing upon the emotions of his audience he arous ed them to applaud his remarks four occasions But the large crowd which had flowed into the theater earlier in the evening gradually dwinded down as his a dress proceeded much so, that those remaining were hard put at times to hear MT. Sutherland
 He took up few of the issues of the campaign and answered only those which he could answer in any way favoraby. Why did he say he would pass over explain ing the Pension and Relief bill? Why did he pass lightly the Road bill? Why did he glect entirely to en- Wilson's statement before the subcommittee of the judi cary committee of the United States Senate in open sion If he has at all times defended the good name of Alaska why did he request the subcommittee to hear Wilson, No need to repeat again what Dr. Wilson said for every Alaskan who has the Territory at heart will never forget those words of Dr. Wilson, who embraced not the Ketchkan and Bristol bay districts but all Alaska

l I
 read you the indictment printed in
 the Anchorage Times on August 26,
 and l am going to explain my posi-
 tion in regard to it:
 We believe the present incumbent MT. Dan A. Sutherland, to be unfitted
 for the office and that a change is ne- cessary for the best interests of the country as a whOle.'
 Just what constitutes fitness, I do not know, but/I assure you that I am in excellent health and fighting spirit l realize I was preceded in congress
 by the able man, Judge Wickersham,
 but have never claimed his capacity
 as a delegate. I do claim that my ef-
 forts have been directed along right lines since I have been in Washing ton.
 "An eminent statesman once told me to overlook chambers of com merce and other organizations when in doubt over a question, and look to the rear to the people who have elect ed me. Then figure what they would have me do, and do it. Your reward will be the assurance that you did right I have endeavored to follow this advice since I have been in con- gress and I do not think my bitter est enemies will say that have ever been dominated by any organization or individual.
 "Now for the second article in the indictment: We believe the present hoc ocl~ and contributed to the articles which advertise us as lawless and corrupt
 "The article referred to is one which appeared in the Hearst papers of March 2S, 1926 and written by one of the best-known correspondents in It was printed in your local paper. The article was based l entirely in official testimony based l entirely on official testimony present | ed before the committee of the judi, ciary and senate, when hearings were l given the case of two Alaska judges. A paragraph in the article states, Outside of Ketchikan and Bristol bay 1 where large cannery operations are carried on, the laws in Alaska are very we'll observed.' The article was from official records which | are on file in my office. All of the article is the truth and was brought to me in typewriter form by the writ er to whom I suggested two minor

HOW ABOUT TT, PIONEERS?

One of the most important questions to be decided by the voters of Alaska in the election of November 2 is whether the Alaska Pioneers Home at Stka the Terri tonal Old Age Allowance System and Mothers Pensions shall remain intact in their present form if they shall be torn down.
 It is the purpose of the Indian political organization of Southeastern Alaska under the leadership of it's attor ney w. L. Paul. and allied politically with Delegate Dan Sutherland to force this issue and confident they success at the polls through the strength of the Indian Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood they have openly proclaimed their intention.
 For years the Indians have been receiving financial and other aid from the Federal Government amounting several hundreds of thousands of dollars annually In 1925 the Government appropriated total of $O 1895 for It's work among Alaska Indians and Eskmos Appro- pations for white residents solely was: Pioneer Home $lO7,800 Mothers Pensions $3500O; Old Age Pensions Sl2O,6OO Each year ALL figures are increasing
 It cannot be strongly enough emphasized that it would bankrupt the Territory if it to undertake payment of pensions to Indians basis with the whites.
 Providing Paul and Sutherland are successful it would be but matter of time when all pensions in the territory would cease
 Conceited guests are best. You need only sit and listen.
