DELEGATE WORKS FOR ALL

While some of the leading cit" izens of Ketchikan and Juneau, who have thrown party ties to the winds and banded themselves und- CT the cognomen of Independents" " are spending corporation money in the futile effort to defeat Delegate Dan Sutherland for reelection, he seeks to secure legislation that will tend to benefit those communities. He is largely responsible for se- curing an enlarged appropriation for the Federal building at Juneau and is also seeking to restore to Southeastern Alaska a land dis trict, with Juneau the headquart- CTS. The land office was removed from there to Anchorage three years ago, on the recommendation of MT. Parks, who was then at the head of land affairs in Alaska. And while Ketchikan protests that the discarded Judge and District Attorney are the two greatest men in Alaska the Delegate is try ing to have a bill passed in Con- gress for the erection of a new court house and jail at Ketchikan, a subject that does not seem to much concern the aforesaid "lead- ing' citizens.

 Will Morrissey dare to write an editorial attacking the wo- men who signed the protest, such women as Florence D. Stackpole, Christine S. Malmin, Margery Y. Hall, Lulu V. Taylor, Emma M. Falconer?
 Will the Ketchikan Chronicle call these women liars and out laws because they protested in the following language?
 "The members of the Ket- chikan Women's Council pro- test against conditions which are giving Ketchikan the reput2- tion of being the MOST WICK ED CITY IN THE WEST.

 He said in part (taken from the Ketchikan Chronicle of March 12, 1923), "The con- temptible feature of this evil is that one cannot turn the searchlight of public investiga- tion upon the men who uphold, support, patronize and make the existence of such places possible. Men live and prev off the products of this sin and evil life-pimps so low and vile as to live on the money of fallen women and then beat them up as happened here re- gently.
 "A man once pointed out to me our restricted district and said, "This is Ketchikan's Wall Street" I thought it was joke but since the assistant United States Attorney drop ped wet blanket over Ket- chikan's Wall Street, causing panic in some circles, I an re- minded of that Wall Street where fluctuations in the stock market so often cause panic in the financial world"
 ''Is it possible that the fnan cial basis of this town rests upon such a Airnsy foundation that whenever the Grand Jury meets the underworld denizens are thrown into panic or get out of town?
 "As to segregating them so that they will not be all over town-what reputation has the place known as the Bath House? The Rex Rooming House? Pig Tail Alley? Rooms over certain stores in the heart of the city? Places in Newtown? At Char coal Point? What about the bootlegging joints? The open gambling all night?"

Why not write an editorial on that wonderful sermon de- livered by an inspired preacher, the same one whose departure you are still mourning, MT. Morrissey, under date of March 11th, 1923, that sermon which was printed in your own paper on March 12, 1923?
