 But few of them ever stop to consider the position of the edit pr. In the first place, every edit or is in a somewhat precarious position. Instead of hiding his thoughts, or conf1ning them to his close friends, he puts them in black and white where the whole

THE WARRIOR RETURNS

On another column the Hon. James WickerSham announces his candidacy for the office of Delegate from Alaska to Con- gress. The Judge needs no in troduction to AlaSkanS nor is it necessary to extol his qualifica- tions and ability to represent the people of Alaska. His record in the infamous mining scandals of Nome shows a service to the Territory and it's courts that is a credit to any man; a record which cleaned out a viper'S nest which operated under the err nline robes of justice. Alone he defeated, when a delegate to Congress, the infamous "AleXan- der Bill'' which would have glv- en to the packing combine and trap operators, title to navigable waters, making void all the prin- Ciple set forth in that document Of liberty-the Magma Charta.
 This defeat of the Alexander bill was in the face of a favor able report by the House Com mittee on Mrchant Marine and Fisheries. Without a vote and alone he amended the bill to it's death on the floors of Congress.
 His most recent service to the Territory was an injunction to stop illegal payment of Territor- ial funds to federal officials under salary from the Govern ment
 Through his many years of residence in Alaska, he has con- sistently given his best effort unselhshly and unstintedly for the good of the Territory. The calibre of his enemies-or lack of calibre- marks his position on questions as relates to the "com- mon class" of citizens.
 The Alaskan at this time offers the Judge congratulations as his election is a foregone conclusion.

AFTER A RECORD


 The reason that the Bureau of official What-is-its and the dis trict attorneys office complains against the boats rather than against the men is because they are desirous of making a record. It matters not whether or not tie men are guilty or whether they are being injured-GET THE RECORD. Jobs of buric rats and other vermin are more inn portant than the well-being of residents of Alaska.

 might say that, as the Senat- or well knows, for centuries it
 has been the policy and prac~

 We have followed that rule in our courts of equity and it has al- ways been regarded as a just and proper way of procedure. It saves expense to litigants and it sim plifies the business of the courts, and gets away from intending, interminable discussion and liti- Igation. We merely propose here 10 permit the court which takes jurisdiction for one purpose to determine the whole thing open ly. to determine the whole thing under process of law.

DELEGATE SUTHERLAND

Hon. Dan A. Sutherland, Dele gate to Congress from Alaska, has announced that he will not file for reelection to the same office. He will have served the people of Alaska ten years in the national legislature beside his service in the Territorial legis- l;;ture.
 Dan served his constituency IS he believed right regardless of what powers were raised in op- position. Any mistakes he might have made were not of the heart. His fight for the unorganized, general run of Alaska citizenry, his fight against the Packing Combine and the Bureau of Fisheries, is an epic of which any man may well be proud.
 In 1921 was presented the Fisheries Committee of the House a bill which would allow governing of the Alaska fisher ies with Fisheries Commission to be composed of one Indian fisherman, one white fisherman, one Packer, the Commissioner of Fisheries and one other to be chosen by these men. Opposi- ton to the Indian on the com mission was raised and it was to be used as political ammunition MT. William Paul, who was at Washington at the time said: "You can leave the Indian off that commission as it will be used to your hurt. It will not hurt our feelings and it will not make any difference politically"
 Dan replied: ''No, they have a right to representation on that commission" The bill was de- feated in committee.

APPLIES IN ALASKA

The argument by the Senators may well be applied to the pre- sent official and legalized black
 1ail indulged in by the United States Bureau of Fisheries and the District Attorneys Office wherein they compel innocent fishermen to plead guilty to a charge of illegal fishing by threatening to put on them a fine of $400 and costs.
 The charge of illegal fishing is much lesser a crime than opium smuggling. But basicly the prin- cjples of action are fundament- ally the same. Every man should have his day in court to be ad- judged by jury of his peers. It IS only proper that after fish ing crew has been found guilty, action should be taken against the boat. But it is basicaIly wrong to start action against the boat without ascertaining |t'le guilt or innocence of the fishermen.
 The Senator from California declares the individual must have his day in court and then if adjudged guilty action takes against the boat. Which is all that Alaskans have declared in the past and ask for, for the flu tUre.

ACTION IN ADMIRALTY
From Congressional Record, of

From Congressional Record, of October 21, 1929:
 MT. Shortridge. If I un- derstand the contention of the Senator from Oregon it is that if the individual or the owner of the vessel is accused of importing or smuggling these noxiOus deadly drugs he should be pro ceeded against by the Govern ment and that the individual or lthe shipOWner shall have an op- lportunity to prove if he can that ne is not guilty. It that be the position of the Senator it would seem to me to be sound. In oth- CT words, if anyone is accused of ! this crime he should have an Op- rortunity to plead to that charge than be condemned without a Hearing and then be relegated to a department here in Washing lton to establish if he can, his in i1!ocence of the charge.
 MT. Steiwer. I will yield in ,,ust a moment. want to make a brief statement in response to 1 the Senator from California.
 I thank the Senator from Cal .fOrnia for his observations. In Iaddition to that, under the law as we amended it at some time when the matter was before the Senate for consideration we established the right of customs officials to bring a proceeding in rem against the ship. The de- fendant naturally has no elec- tiOn as to where that shall be done. That election is made by the United States Government.
 When that action in rem is brought against ship under the law as we were arranging it, there was no jurisdiction in the court to consider any plea of any kind at all in behalf of the inno- Cence of the accused owner or
 master. The jurisdiction was simply lacking. We provided that if opium were found on a ship, the penalty should attach. The only thing the United States Government would be obliged to prove in that case would be that opium had been found on board ship and that it had not been listed in the manifest. If that were true, the case would then be closed and judgment would be entered against the owner and the master, and it would not make any difference how jealous he had been of his honor and how jealous he had been of the Governments interest or what degree of diligence he might have exercised, he would not then have the opportunity and the court could not permit him 10 set that LID as defence eith- CT in whole or in part
 : The only purpose of the pro- rosal I am now bringing to the Senate is to enable the owner or the master when he is accus- nd to present to the court proof of the claim to his innocence and that he did not know and could not bv the exercise of his reasonable diligence have known If the presence of opium on hoard the ship.

goods, as indicated by freight car
loadings, covering the latest avail
