Now that they have defeated Paul the Tories are wondering what they arc going to do wlth him. He is more dangerous now than ever.' Wot tell! Why worry about Paul. Elovtions are over.
 A printers union once turned down colored man who applied for a card-because of his color he was not admitted. He went to work in an open shop.

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES

Serious thinkers discussing the present national election believe it means the death of the Democratic parry Well, it should be. Any party that does not have the conf- denoe of the electorate should go off land croak.
 Within he ranks of the Republi- lean and Democratic parties are two elementary factors which of them selves form new parties-liberal minded and conservative minded men. Senator Dill is a liberal mind led man enjoying the confidence of tho electors of the State of Washing ton. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania represents the conservative element. It is not to be expected that such mel as Senators Borah, Wheeler, Norris and La Toilette, will stand hobhled to party lines on issues of principle. Nor is it to be expected hat @ny conservative minded senat- or will swing to the liberal side of any issue. The line of demarka- tion is becoming more pronounced.
 nside of both parties are men who are liberal minded-men who con- slider human rights and liberty above the almighty dollar.
 The only hope of the Democratic Party is in it's death and re-birth as liberal party.

EMPIRE TELLS HALF THE TALE
 AS USUAL

In a lengthy editorial of recent date, the Empire tells that the In dians of New York refused to vote at the recent election and followed it up that because New York In dians refused to' vote. even for Charles Curtis, Alaska Indians should do as did the Onandaga's. We print the reason as given thru the Baltimore Sun and reprinted in The Haskell Lawrence, Kansas, } Leader:
 THE ONONDAGAS WILL NOT
 VOTE
 NO member of the tribe of Onon- daga will go to the polls on election day-not even to cast a vote for the first man of Indian blood ever to have been nominated for the vice presidency, the second highest office in the gift of the American people. This was the declaration made by Jessie Lyon, chief of the Onondagas whose reservation lies in Onondaga County, near Syracuse, N. w.
 Senator Charles Curtis's efforts obt.ined for all Indians of the Unit ed States the right of franchise Some of them had it. Some had not The Onondagas never had it until four years ago. They do not want it. They do not exercise it. They will not go to the polls even ito vote for a candidate for vice president who is part Indian. Their position was explained by Chief Ly- on.
 We ourselves are nation," he said. "We accept citizenship in no other. We were a nation before the white man came. We don't want to vote except in the affairs of our own nation We are not of the Unloed States and never have been, no more than a citizen of a Europ- can country is a citizen of the Unit ed States"

 This statute was tested in the cc&rt in the case of Paladini vs. Sup erior Court, ITS California, 396, and it's constituttonality upheld.
 This act however, applied only to market fishermen and did not af- feet cannerirS. The abuse by certain uanneries becoming acute, the legis- lature adopted an act in 1919 to con- trol the usa of food fish by other than market fishermen in the manu- .acture of fertilizer and fish oil. A further clause in the statute prohi- bited any cannery from handling or receiving more fsh than such con- cern could actually use without pre- ventable deterioration, waste ol spoilage.
 At the legislative session of 1921 an amendment (Stats. 1921, p. 459) was made to the at. which provid- ed that tic Comm ission could not allow any canner to use for reduc- jon purposes more than 25 per cent of the amount which any canner could can or pack or preserve for human food during a calendar month.

 Tbe court further held that the GENERAL RIGHT AND OWNER SHIP OF THE FISH IS IN THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE, AND THE STATE HAS THE RIGHT TO REGULATE AND CONTROL THE TAKING AND DISTORTION THEREOF.
 The Court also upheld the consti- tutionali,y of all of the provisions of the reduction act as amended This decision was rendered on June 5rn, 1922.
 Tn December, 1924, the act again went under fire.

MARINES SAVE

These Marines, who since Glor1-

tendencies have frowned upon the
old appellation of 'leatherneck,

Not that we have anything

drawn. In fact, we might add
that man with as many virtues
az the lead would be a most mis-
cradle creature as would every
one around him. The play starts
out slowly and does not get up
any steam to speak of until the
fight continuity gives welcome re.
lief from the many gags that more
or les disjointedly open the piece.
Eddie Gribbon, of Mack Sen
nett fame. gives an excellent
portrayal of the scrapping Marine
sergeant. In fact, he is the most
convincing marine We have ever
seen outside the service. Ken.
meth Harlan is also an outstand-
ing figure as the champion OF the
Army. Lila Lee is as charming
as always and does a great deal
with a part that is decidedly
limited. In passing we must not
