SUTHERLAND ADMITS
 RESPONSIBILITY"

The above is the substance of the leading editorial against Sutherland by Edward Norris sey when referring to the rot ten conditions in Ketchikan.
 In the editorial, Morrissey tries to prove Sutherland wrong by arguing that "Ketchikan is the best town in the world for its size. It has more than 800 beautiful children in its schools"
 The fact is that in going to the very school furnished by the great town of Ketchikan, more than one half of the chil- dren have to pass within 100 yards of the houses of prosti- tuition, assignation, vice and brothels against which Dan Sutherland protests.
 We repeat it, that Edward G. Morrissey, defender of the "fair name of Ketchikan," knows that these whore houses can be seen from the windows of the finest school in Alaska"
 Dan Sutherland is man enough to fight against this condition Any decent man, especially one having family of his own, would do the sann",
 Dan filed his charges AFTER others of Ketchikan had done likewise without success. This was in 1925

At that time-though the importation of liquor into the Territory was prohibited by law-there were some eighteen or twenty saloons operating in Juneau and about the same number at Skagwav and Dyea.
