Breaking it Gently

William Macdonald, youthful
Scotchman, was seriously in love, but
to arrive at the point of proposing
marriage to the fair one of his choice
was too much for his sensitive soul
Finally, after many hours of delibera-
ton, he hit upon a plan. 1t was a
moonlight, starry night, and he led
the maiden of his heart to a chruch-
yard, and, pointing to the various
headstones, said:: Allie, my folks are
buried there. Wad We like to be buried
there, too?"

BROOKHART WINS
NOMINATION in
IOWA PRIMARIES

Des Moines, Iowa, June S.-Colone
Smith w. Brookhart, Republican, wa.
nominated in Mondays primaries in s
five cornered fight for United States
Senator, with 1852 precincts reporting
out of the states 2,447. giving Brook
hart $4,000 plurality and nearly a ma
jority over all five candidates, defeat
ing Senator Albert B. Gummins, Re-
publican, who has served the state of
Iowa three time as governor and is
serving cut his fourth term as United
States Senator.
Brookhart was Just recently ousted
from the Senate on a contest where
Dan S. Steek, Democrat was given his
seat. Cummins was at one time can
didate for presidential nomination and
has served as president of the I. S.
Senate and holds a position as chair
man of the Judiciary committee. He
was also at one time chairman of the
interstate commerce commission but
was removed from the craftsmanship
through the efforts of Senator B. K.
Wheeler of Montana. Cummins was
at one time the power in Iowa. In
those days he was considered a pro-
gressive, but later became a reaetion-4
airy or conservative and ever since that
time he has gradually lost prestige in
the state.
Colonel Brookhart attained consid- 7
cradle prominence as chairman of the F
Daugherty investigating committee
and in his campaign of 1924 he was
vigorously opposed by that faction of
the party. The people of Iowa resent
ed the way in which he was ousted
from the Senate and the manner in
which Cummins conducted himself in
the Brookhart contest by not taking
sides either way and permitting the
state law of Iowa to be overruled.
Cnmmins asked to be excused from
voting and from taking part in the de-
bate so the state of Iowa was left
without a representative as Senator
Brookhart did not vote on his own con-
test or take any part in the debate.
Brookhart has always championed
the cause of the farmers and they
stood by him in this primary and it .
is predicted that he will win in the !
general election in November. ;
He will be opposed in the finals BY
Claude R. Porter, assistant attorney
general, Democrat.

en- braved wind-tossed seas in order to
strew flowers upon the ocean grave of
the United States Submarine S-51. ii
miles off Block Island.
Leaving the torpedo station here

fought her way off shore to the spot
where the submarine went down in a
collision last September with loss of
80 lives.
Aboard the tug was Mrs. Alfred A.

whose body is believed to be still im-
prisoned in the hull 1913 feet below the
surface.
The salvage fleet, which hopes to
raise the S-51 this summer, was idle
today.

THE LAST LEGISLATURE
HOUSE BILL 17

William l.. Paul and sought to provide liens on property by the watchmen thereof. At present liens are provided for all sorts of workmen who build, repair, or improve property, and for those who log, but no lien is permitted in cases of canneries that have been shut down for one Or two years; or of the mines in the same fix; or other property. Such property keeps it's value entirely thru the presence of the watchmen, and yet under the law, these laborers cannot file liens to protect their wages.
 This bill passed the House, Harry Watson of Fairbanks being the only vote against it. MT. Watson must have gotten his instructions from Senator Harry Pratt, for it was Senator Pratt who amended the bill in the Senate SO that the right of lien now only applies to the watchmen of canneries. This bill should be amended by the next legislature for watch men of all kinds of property should have the right to lien property which has been preserved entirely by their labor.
 This bill afforded the first chance for people to see what kind of a man Harry Watson of Fairbanks was. We found him to be the sort of a man who always favored everything and then voted the opposite way. In this case he voted against the rights of working man who took care of mining property.
 Harry Watson is now secretary to the Governor of Alaska.
 HOUSE BILL 1s
 This Iblll was lntr@duced by N. o. Hardy, lone Democrat from the First Division. It soon be- came known as the "Corporation Sole" bill. The object of this bill was to enable the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Greek Catholic Church to organize a religious corporation with only one person. The present law re- quires three persons. There was no other change proposed.
 The history of this bill was rathon ss;nnular It mas first nre-

his attorney in .Juneau4 Then it found it's way into the hands of Father Raccati, of the Roman Church. Father Roccati took the proposed bill to Senator Frank A. Aldrich, now a candidate for Delegate to Congress, and asked MT. Aldrich to introduce it into the Senate. Senator Aldrich then said to Father Roccati, Father Roccati, if Jesus Christ himself should ask me to introduce this bill, I would tell him to go to he'll" There was no hnistaking the Senator's language.
 The bill then appeared in the hands of the lone Democrat N o. Hardy of Juneau.
 This bill did not become law, it being defeated in the Senate.
 HOUSE BILL 19
 This was to build school house at Kenai, and appropriating $7- 500. It being a school bill, it went thru without opposition.
 HOUSE BILL 20,
 This bill was introduced by George Moody of Fairbanks and was designed to tax NONRESI- DENT trappers out of existence. It followed the lines of the fed eral act. It was generally support ed by the House members because the principle underlying it was correct, namely, that RESIDENT trappers or workers should be preferred to NONRESIDENT.
 When it came time for George Moody to support bill introduced by William L. Paul and follow ing the identical lines of Moody's bill only protecting RESIDENT fishermen, Moody voted against PauPs bill. Possibly if Paul could have delivered a bottle or two, or even if during some sober moment Moody could have been induced to reason, he might have seen that the two bills were the same in principle.
 This bill died for the reason that the same subject was covered much better by the federal act.
 HOUSE BILL 21
 This bill was to repeal the law which permits Alaskans to indicate their preference for the person who shall be appointed Governor
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-03-15

be permitted to express in law full manner their preference for Governor.
 The vote (8 to 8) was as follows;
 Against the people; Ben Grier, N. o. Hardy, George Moody, Jos eph Murray, Robert Sheldon, Will jam Sherman, Harry Watson, Chas. Wilcox.
 For the People; John Elliott, Chas. Ferguson, William D. Grant, Thomas Jenson, Andy Nylen, Will jam L. Paul, H. H. Ross, Richard Sundquist. "And so the bill was lost"
 HOUSE BILL P
 This bill was for an act to define and punish embezzlement, but was so broad that it was defeated in the Senate. This bill furnished an instance wherein Joseph Murray, and William L. Paul agreed. Paul made the motion to strike that section which would make it em- bezzlement for one partner to take the partnership property. Joseph Murray seconded the motion. It carried. Such a provision is bad in principle because the theory of partnership is that both partners, or all of them, own the property. How then can you steal your own property?
 HOUSE BILL 23
 OLD AGE PENSION ACT
 This bill was introduced by William L. Paul and was for an act to amend the old age pension laws to conform to we'll directed criticisms of the Pioneers, support ed by the Trustees of the Pension Fund.
 Under the old act, (introduced by H. R. Shepard) there was noth- ing else to do but to quit pay ing pensions when the fund was exhausted. Under MT. Paul's bill, plan now in operation, namely, that warrants shall issue to each aged person, which warrant could be used by the aged person as basis of credit, the warrant to be redeemed by the Territorial Treasurer as soon as money became available.
 A provision was introduced by way of amendment by Thomas Henson of Nome which norroi+~
