Robertson Makes Effective
 Introduction

Vice-President H. G. Walmsley, who was in the chair, called on R. F.. Robertson, as a member of the bar, to introduce Judge Hard ing. He began by stressing the importance to the people of the Court, with his judicial. appoint ing and administrative functions. He said the rights of the people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were largely within the powers of the Court, which, in the last analysis, is the man who presides as District Judge. He said it was important that a Judge should be learned in the law and that he be fair and inn partial, and even more important that he be fair and impartial than learned. He said that a two years acquaintance with Judge Harding. during which he had fought m on tenn s courts and in the law courts and found him proficient in both places, made him believe that he would make learned, fair and impartial Judge.

Judge. The rights of the people to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, he said, is dependent in large measure upon the ability and integrity of the court, and it's fairness and impartiality
 Two Sides to Question
 He said there are always two sides to a question before the court, and he called attention to the difference between the posi- tion of one who represents only one of those two sides and the court which stands between the two. He only knew one star to guide court, and that was abso- lute fairness. He said he could only promise to be fair and do his best as a lawyer in making decision and, in most cases, turn the matter of deciding as to the facts over to the jury
 Importance of Jury
 He then discussed the import ance Of the jury in the admin istration of justice, and warned those members of the Chamber of Commerce who were present that if they were called to the jury and wanted to be excused they had better take a second look at their hole cards and to remem- Der that it is one of the import ant duties of citizenship to serve on the jury.
 In summing up this phase of his talk, J u g Q Harding said that all the court and jurors could do was to follow Lincoln's prayer that we have the courage to do the right as God gives us light to see the right"
 Alaskan by Adoption
 Judge Harding said he bore no malice toward those who had charged that he was not an All askan. He said it was a legiti- mate political argument before his confirmation by the Senate, but he said, 'it is a cold cinder now" He declared that he had become an Alaskan through adop- tion-the only way one not born here could do so. He thought the length of residence in the Territory had not so much to do in making an Alaskan as service to the Territory. He said that he would never have come to Juneau and held office in Alaska if he had not liked the Territory and the peope that live in it. Then he declared that he will take the oath of office as Judge Of the District Court as an Al askan and perform the duties of the office as one.
 Judge Harding's talk was en thusiasticaly applauded.

Seven Sessions Involved

Bridgeport, July 26 P,-Legisla- tive leaders and state officials were united today in a belief that Gov. John H. Trumbull will call a special session of the 1929 General Assem- bly, to repass 1,493 public and spo- cial acts invalidated yesterday by a unanimous decision of the state su- preme court of errors.
 The decision holding that all en- acted measures are void unless signed by the governor with three days after adjournment of the lcgis- lature, swept away acts adopted by seven General Assemblies and signed by Governor Marcus H. Holcomn. who went into office in 1915. and his successors. Governors Everett J. Lake, Charles A. Templeton and the incumbent Governor Trumbull.
 Small Fraction of Business
 All the 1,493 bills, representing a small fraction of those adopted by the seven legislatures, had been given gubernatorial approval more than three days after adjournment of the enacting bodies.
 Attorney General Benjamin w. Alling and Judge Raymond A. John son, house majority leader said a special session of the 1929 legisla- ture could repass the affected meas ures and they would be valid if the governor signed them within three days after the sessions end.
 The attorney generals opinion however. that one resolution embrac- ing all the 1,493 acts would not he constitutional, and that the logisa- tors would have to consider each law separately.
 Most of the inyalidatc1 acts wcro passed during the Trumbull admin istration.
 Major Anson T. McCook. whose Six year fight against q legislative act and gubernatorial procedure ir signing bills after a General Assem- bly, closes is well known. is one Of the fighting McCooks" and opinion today was that he had lived up to the title which was given men of his fame in civil war days.
 The major is 4S years old. son of the late Rev, Dr. John J. McCook. He is an attorney. graduate Of Trinity College, and of Harvard Law school. He was eXecutivc secreiarv to Gov. Temploton. and became well known to legislators during that term because of their contacts with him due 10 the many questions which camo hefore the chief executive.
 Major McCook's first military cx- perience was with the Eighth Massa- chusotts regiment while living in that state. He later was in Troop E of Hartford for an enlistment. He was a leader in the preparedness movement started in public schools at the outbreak of the World War and wrote "The Schools and MiN. tary Training He is a World War veteran,

 You will notice l had fewer bills signed after the time limit than any other governor Conc@rned,' he stat ed. Major MCCook as my secretary advised me that he felt bills signed later than three day after adjourn ment very probably were illegal and for that reason we worked day and night near the close of the assembly to be sure and sign bills before the disputed time.

 With reference to the 231 laws claimed 10 have been unconsttution- ally enacted in the Holcomb admin istration, l have requested informa- ton from the office of the state secretary as to whether all of these are actually to be included in the list Governor Holcomb had always jature in their original form. and then when they were received from the clerk or bills after expressing and printing. he would resign them. The information l am now endeavor- ing to obtain is whether the sigma ture of the governor on the bills in question, in their original form. was l the constitutional provision"
 With reference to the fact that but [ acts of the general assembly during the administration of Cover TOT Templeton were not signed with in the required period. fact Gov crnor Templeton is said 10 attribute to the advice of his secretary, Anson McCook, Mr. Buckley today deciar- cd that regardless of what advice the governor received it was the general assembly and not the govcr- nor which placed his administration in the favorable position it now en-
 joys in this respect
 "l'or three weeks prior to the ad- journment of the legislature, we did Taught but meet. pray, and ad- iourn," declared MT. Buckley. At that session of the general assembly
 was house leader, and the leaders Of the general assembly had con fcrrcd and decided that We would

 purpose being to force the governors uand, and this, and this only, had
