THE LITERACY TEST

From all that 1 can learn, the Literacy Test for Alaska voters is having tough sled ding" in the House, with every indication of having a tough CT" time in the Senate.
 The reasons for this are numerous.
 The fact that it was endors- ed by the Committee on Ter ritories means very little. The liberal and fairrninded men of all parties soon learned the real purpose of the bill and the consequence of it's passage
 Chairman Curry has given it his hearty support and "can- not understand" why 1t cannot pass by Unanimous consent"
 If there were some way by which the Fish Trust could introduce a bill without seem- ing to back it, this bill would have a chance. But the can nery men are political ostriches. Many Congressmen have re- ceived letters from managers of "The great Atlantic and Pa cifc Tea Company" of which there are about 1900, urging the passage of this bill. The reaction comes quickly when they learn that this is but an- other name for the "A. & P Products Corporation" with half dozen canneries in Alaska.
 Another obstacle to the pas sage of the bill comes from the friends of prohibition who have learned that the so-called illiterate vote in Alaska is really the backbone of the en- forcement crowd.
 The main weakness of the bill is the character and past history of the bunch advocat- ting it. The two names that appeared most prominently are J. J. Connors, Mayor of Jun eau and John w. Troy, editor of the Empire.
 The lovers of decent govern ment here cannot reconcile Troy's personal habits with his desire for "good government" And there is something in that. Suppose for instance all the natives now called i1literate and so dangerous" to Alaska

ing on this matter, Ritchie ad- mitted that he knew of several "escapades" of Foster, especial ly the one that occurred in that certain Valdez Hotel when the management had to ask him to please leave."
 In this hearing Ritchie said that "there is nobody in the Third Division (excepting him self) fit or qualified for the office of Judge." A base sland- CT by a colossal egotist!
 Reed And Shoup
 The cases of Reed and Shoup must be linked together, al- though the committee seemed to regard each case quite diff ferently. There were two ser ious counts against each man arising from the same circum- stances although the part each played was different.
 Arthur G. Shoup was con- demned with Reed for conspir- acy with Governor Bone and George Sexton to violate law of Alaska, to-wit the election of John w. Frame as Nation al Committeeman. While each man tried to justify his action, the Senators were not convinc- ed that laws could be set aside, especially by those charged with their enforcement. Sen ators really regard and re- spect the will of the people when expressed. This is the very basis of their own claim to recognition.
 Shoup made very poor showing in the matter of the appointment of Edward G. Morrissey to be United States Commissioner at Ketchikan. His defense was that "the best citizens of Ketchikan had en- dorsed Morrissey." On cross examination by Sutherland, Shoup admitted that J. R. Hickman, one of those includ- ed by him as of the "better element" had a large amount of profitable business selling expensive petticoats and other unmentionables to painted ladies'"
 He admitted that J. R Beegle 1@

 casion, fall down off their chairs in prominent hotels, would they then be entitled to be called "Civilized" and re- spectable members of society?
 These matters all seem like small matters, and yet this Congress is in earnest on the prohibition question, and as long as the Natives of Alaska vote Zen mass and len bloc" for prohibition and other enforce ment laws, Tony Dimond, Tom Donohue, John Troy and J.J. Connors and the Fish Trust will fail.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-06-15

will fail.
 Washington, D. C., June 5. The world of politics was astounded to learn that Pres ident Coolidge had withdrawn the names of Ritchie, Reed and Shoup from the consideration of the Senate.
 The reason was this: that the Senate would otherwise have been forced, by virtue of the 'hearings," to reject these names.
 It would be a great insult to the Senate to sa ythat they were forced to accept the views of Dan Sutherland, as his enemies charge; and would all so concede Sutherland a pow CT of inuuence heretofore deni- ed him.
 The truth is simply this and is so accepted here in Wash ington: some of the charges made against these men by John w. Frame last year were proven sufficiently to make it impossible to confirm their nominations.
 Before discussing the matter further, 1t is also accepted here that nothing further will be done concerning nomina- tions until next winter.
 If the controlled press of Alaska had told "all the news that is fit to print" as they advertise, Alaskans would have been informed last March that the names would be rejected.
 Several reasons are assigned for the action of the judicial committee in refusing confr- nation.
 As to Judge Ritchie, the con- trolling reason seems to have been his wet attitude toward the 18th amendment. The strongest proof of this was his appointment of Frank Foster to the office of U. s. District Attorney. In the hear
