PLAN FINE CLUBHOUSE

The Seward Athletic Club plans a S5O,OOO clubhouse which it is said will be equipped with hot and cold water in every room and a private bar. The new gymnasium will be an acre in extent and will have padded walls. (Like a crazy house?) The building is to be Seward stucco and will be built from funds taken in at the Thanksgiving Eve Dance. Any moneys left over are to be expended in laying out a private avaition field, for the instruction of club members. Seward Gateway. Now, are they just spoofin' or dreamin' or just mean business?

GIVING CHRISTMAS CHEER

In the Pioneers Home at Sitka are a group of men who have been more or less miSfortunate in their financial affairs during their life in Alaska. They are men who have come from all walks of life and professions and trades. They came to Alaska in their youth and vigor and they spent that youth and vigor in developing or trying to develop the resources of the Territory. In the struggle with the ele- ments of the North, backed by years of hardship, they have lost in that struggle and have been unable to carry on. So aged, de- crepit in many instances, and without the whereWithal to face the world they seek the haven of the Home for their declining years.
 To bring them cheer at this time MT. David Gross of the Coliseum Theatres, has institut- ed a Christmas Fund for the men of the Home. Which fund is be- ing gathered in Alaska and in Seattle, sent to the BehrendS Bank of Juneau with a list of donors and amount given and this money is sent to the men to the Home in cash and currency and equally divided amongst the the men at Christmas time.
 The people of Petersburg in particular are being called upon at this time to do their bit to- ward bringing cheer to these men who have been beaten by age and the elements of the North. No one can be too gener- ous and no one can give too much. Perhaps some little act of one of these men has made it possible for other more forum ate citizens to remain in Alaska and to accumulate an economic independence. And aside from that, the joy of giving and see ing the appreciation of these men is worth at least thought and consideration. And Christ mas time is one season of the year when we can all afford to he generous not only to our i'm mediate family and friends but to those who are less fortunate in families and friendship.

The reason for the whine of Stroller's Weekly being due to the fact that it does not want the electorate to understand just how Nome with it's six hundred votes can override the wishes of six thousand votes. It does not want the electorate to under stand that while it works as a Democratic mouthpiece for cer- tain progressive legislation, 1t helps to elect candidates who by their efforts defeat that same legislation. The progressive Re- publicans who have been elected lon certain progressive measures have had their efforts nullif1ed by Nome with the help of men elected by and through the eff forts of the Juneau Empire anC Stroller's Weekly. The Stroller Weekly has conscience enough to be ashamed of it's political ma chinationS and therefore ite whine about the story last weeE of the unfair apportionmen5 of representation.
 There is only one corrective measure to this: Elect men-fOur representatives and one Sena- tor from the First Division who will stand solidly for those things which are right regard less of the blarney of the other Divisions. And even at that, the First Division with it's six thou sand votes should not be blocked in it's desires by the machina-
 tions of four minors who don't
 even know how to eat fish.

THE GIFT WITHOUT
 THE GIVER

At this season of the year we are reminded of that beautiful poem, "The Vision of Sir Laun- fall" by Alfred Tennyson. It is most appropriate at this time when gifts are being made back and forth. Some little tokens carry with them the whole heart, soul and love of the giver and some of the rich and costly gifts come as a mere idle gesture to give satisfaction to the giver alone.
 That story of the search for the Holy Grail' the lost cup from which Christ was said to have drunk at the Last Supper pictures most clearly the proud. haughtinesS of youth which flung and filings it's gold to the unclean leper by the roadside. Unable because of his infirmity to touch the gold he said "The gift without the giver is bare" Years roll along, the proud and naughty knight seasoned by the odverSitieS, pains and sorrows of time, wanders back home to see again the same leper at the roadside again asking for Q bit of charity The once naughty knight takes from his knapsack a crust of bread, goes to the creek and fills his tin cup with water and shares his last bit of food with the leper. When 10, a wonderful light surrounded the leper who turned out to be the Christ himself and a voice clear and powerful said "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least Of these my brethern, ye have cone it unto me-"

LAWYERS AND JUSTICE

The recent murder in Portland of a woman for which her mil Iionaire husband and his para mOur are charged has filled many a column of news space in the Coast papers. In the Port land Oregonian is a question put forth by a citizen as follows:
 'lIs it not true that no attorney will defend a person accused of murder or lesser crime if said attorney knows that the accused is guilty? CD Tn any case, would not any attorney worthy of the name of America demand that his client tell the whole truth to the court regarding the crime, regardless as to whether it was in his favor or to his detriment? (3) II the legal profession did not demand the whole truth from their clients, would they not be incubators of iniquity and a menace to society? (4) Would 9 decent attorney object to his client giving information to po- lice officers or prosecuting at torneys, whether he were pre- sent of absent? (5) If any per- son is innocent, what is there to fear in answering any and all questions by the governments representatives? (6) Would not evasion Of questions be prima

to bring about justice. Tn de- lending an accused person, the attorneys direct responsibility is to see that his clint gets a fair trial, whether guilty or innocent. No lawyer is worthy of the high profession that he follows would subvert justice by concealing, or encouraging his client to con- zeal, guilt. Unfortunately, there

Congress to make a reappOrClOa- ment of representation in that body. Some States had more congressman than they were en- titled to and others did not have the representation to which they were entitled. But the old ma chine, composed of the reaction ary leaders of both parties re- fused to consider the matter of reapportionment which was mandatory by provision of the Constitution of the United States. However, last year the reapportionment was made and under the last elections the pop ulationS of the states are now more equitably represented.
 The Alaska Situation
 Stroller's Weekly comes now with a cur-like whine because The Alaskan brings to the at tention of it's readers the fact that Nome with it's six hun packer attacked the provision of the legislative act which he claimed was conf1scatory was a right of the Territory.
 The situation is now chaotic and will remain so until the Su- oleme Court has made it's deci- sion in the matter. Which situ- ation is brought on not only by the trollers of Washington, but by the Alaska Packers Associa- tion which has been a consistent friend of the Democratic powers that be in the Territory. Which party and persons promised so much to the electorate in the way of control of it's fisheries but which is now idly sitting by while the will of the Territory is nullifed. It will be well for the electors to remember that the game of these politicians is to Whipsaw them at every opportu- nity, pulling wool over their eyes for the purpose of catching votes and then using the invisible government to defeat the very promises which they make dur ing election times
 The question that should be asked of the successful candi- dates is what plan do they have now to protect the resident fish ermen of Alaska? Just wait for l decision Of the Supreme Court or will the majority party (De- mocrats) give to the Territory avs which will be in accord with *heir political platforms of the past election?
 It was LincC7n who once said: ''You can fool some people all of the time; some of them part of the time but you can't fool all of the people all the time" And the day of reckoning does now ap- proach when political promises will be remembered and which will be very embarrassing for the successful candidates to answer. dred voters has as much say about legislative matters effect ing the entire territory as the First Division. Tn fact, it has more to say than the First Di- vi@ion in regards to matters ef- fecting the First Division alone and which have no influence or bearing upon the life of Nome citizens.
 Nome is distinctly a minin1 country, it has no fish, except re"hars a few bullhead and cod- fish. Yet it's four representatives md one senator line up against the First Division in fishery mat ters and their votes defeat the wishes of over six thousand peo- ole represented by four repre-

Dry Raid
Three of Uncle Sans men
made a raid on Young's pool hail
last Wednesday night. They were
given a dry" reception. One
w%ell-known habitue of the place,
however, was relieved of three
bottles which as yet hadn't been
emptied, and another man was
found in bed sleeping so soundly
that the officers couldn't waken
him so as to pay their respects
But there didn't seem to be a
breath of dampness in the build
ing or about the proprietors. Ru.
MOI has it that the boys came
just three days too late. Those
in the community who deplore
such a state of affairs as has
been, wish the callers better luck
next time, if this visit does not
produce the results hoped for.
Neighborhood Differences
Because a man in the commun-
ity didn't give to the railroad
fund what a few thought he
should have given, malicious Cos
sip was started to the effect that
he was so stingy he was break
ing the law by buying only one
license and using one plate on
each of his two trucks. 1t was
suggested, and even planned, that
his donation, together with a fund
that was to be collected from
anyone willing to give, would be
returned to him with the advice
that he buy another license.
Eventually the man heard the
story and straightway tackled his
four license plates to a board and,
carrying the Sign board" over
his shoulder, set out. He first
called on a few of his neighbors,
then visited each business place
in Vida, telling the world as
plainly as it could that the story
was false. Perhaps the most pa
thetic thing about the affair is
that the ringleaders aren't brave
enough to apologize now that they
know they are wrong. In all fair
ness though, they haven't really
had time, for as yet they are too
busy putting the blame on the
other fellow Now that the smoke
is clearing away a few are won
dering if the collection was ever
actually taken up, and, if so, to
whom it will be donated now that
it is proven beyond a doubt that
Mr.. Jensen doesn't need it.
