flish an independent executive machinery for the Territory. But 1t has not done so. 1t has authorized the Federal officials to also act as Territorial off, cials, and every dollar of reven- ue raised in the Territory has been placed by the Legislature in the lap of Federal officiais to disburse through agencies as they may elect.
 "One of the most shameless but instructive exhibitions of the fawning impulse was made during the session of 1925. Several resolutions were then introduced complimenting the President of the United States upon the wisdom he had dis played in selecting the pre- sent governor for the 0fYice of Chief Executive of the Terri tory. The Legislature divided approximately f1fty-fifty on the subject. The exhibition of the
 
 proponents of those resolutions at that time of abject servility for avowedly unholy ends was nauseating. They insisted upon just smearing themselves over the Governor, and the only fault I find with the latter in con- nection with matter is that he lid not then and there boot the slimy things"
 John Rustgard's "brochure," published after his great speech at Anchorage, is even more thoroughly illurninative of the field it is designed to cover" than was his public address. And for a time 1t was believed by the general public that John Tt least was honest and sincere n his expressions that great night in September, 1927.
 But reading Johns present views one is inclined, to think that his talk of more than two years ago, but since frequently repeated, was mere froth of al bombastic politician who has mol real convictions. Those who get to know John do no take him seriously, and possibly before April 29, 1880, the voters of the Territory will realize that he has been putting things over o a good many of us for the past ten years.

Word comes from Petersburg that John Rustgard, Wickite candidate for Attorney General, in a speech at that place said his conduct had been so exem- plary, since he became resident of Gastineau channel, that he was known as Honest JOhn.'

Piggy, 7 Why Not
 Tess Up

At the instance of Tom Mar quam, the Juneau Empire says that the Claims Committee of the House of Representatives on February 22nd, KILLED the bill permitting Alaska Indians to bring suit against the govern ment. And in it's issue of March 18th, the Empire further says: "So far as it knew then, and knows now, the statement is correct" Would it be ethical to inquire of Managing Editor Pe- gues whether this statement is another malicious lie?"
The Alaskan., 1930-03-28

It is an open secret that EoiI- or John Troy of the Daily Alas ka Empire of Juneau desplSes Attorney General John Rustgaro For years past he has not even tolerated him, if you know what we mean, and if such an expres- sion could deservedly apply to anyone who came under John Troy's ban. The people of the First Division have not forgot ten how John Troy crucified his friend and patron, Governor Strong. But that is another story.
 What we want to bring out is that for years past John Troy and John Rustgard have des- pissed one another. But, presto change, few months ago, As sociate Editor Pegues concocted a great scheme and John Troy fell for it. It was to get John Rustgard to enter the primaries against Delegate Dan Suther- land, and to give him the sup port CD of the Empire. Then if John got the Republican nomination, he was to be knlt- ci at the November election by the Democratic Organ, in fa- vor of the Democratic candi- date. :,
 All went well until there were serious rumblings that Dan Sutherland would not be a can didate. Then Judge Wicker sham was induced to run. for the nomination, and Troy was in a predicament. But "Piggys wisdom CD prevailed so Troy agreed to go through with the deal, and to give Rustgard all possible publicity. which he Is now doing.
 Piggy" went outside and re- turned with some valuable am- munition CD which he induced John Rustgard to incorporate Tn his brilliant platform, that is a decided reversal of all the re- cent declarations and opinions of the Attorney General. But more of that anon. We now wish to refer to an article that ap- peared in the Daily Empire on September s. 1s2O, when John Rustgard was first a candidate for Attorney General. It follows.
 "That is nothing new, nor is it unique. 1t is only a manifesto tiOn of the fawning instinct which is a perfectly normal ex- pression of what is known as the herding instinct in the an- imal kingdom and as molecular adhesion in the mineral king dom.

FATHER AND FOUR
Die IN FLAMES
Havoc Described by Son Who Es-
capped With Mother From
Apartment Fire.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSs.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Fire that
crept upon them while they slept early
yesterday took the lives of a father
and four Of his children. The mother

found by fremen in the ruins of their
home in Brooklyn, were Christopher
johnson, 81, and his children, Clara
10; Gladys, 16; Harold, IA, and FL
wood, 8.
The mother, Mary, 50, and Christie
pher, IT., 81, saved their lives by jump
ing from the windows of their bedrooms
after they found the flames rendered
futile any attempts at rescue.
From his cot in Norwegian Hospital
Christopher recounted his story of the
discovery of the flames, his unavailine
efforts to save his family and his owr
escape.
The Johnsons lived In a six-roon
apartment on the second floor Of 9

mother occupied bed rooms at the front
and rear of the house respectively
while the rest of the family was asleer
In the inner rooms.
Christopher was awakened by the
cries of his sisters. Opening the dool
Of his room, he found the hallway
ablaze. Repeated attempts to rush
through the wall of fire to their room
brought only severe burns to the youth
Finally, when the flames threatened
to cut on his own escape through thu
window, he jumped.
Meanwhile his mother jumped from
her window to the yard, receiving Z
possible fractured skull. Her condition
is critical.

Expressing disappointment that FIVE
power pact failed of negotiation a.
London, Senator Joseph T. Robinson o.
Arkansas, member of the American
delegation, yesterday discussed the re-
suits of the Naval Conference in q
radio address from London.
The proposed treaty, Senator Robin
son said, offers parity between the
United States and Great Britain If
battleships. destroyers and submarines
States the option Of a ton for ton
cruiser parity.
AS a five-power enterprise, Senator
Robinson said, there is not complete
success. The importance of this is not
to be minimized," he added.
Desirable Features Lacking.
Enthusiastically it would have been
more satisfactory to have a treaty de-
filming the programs of France and Italy
as well as those of Great Britain, the
United States and Japan"
Senator Robinson said the American
delegation went into the parley with
four detectives: ITO cooperate with
other delegations in terminating naval
competition by limiting all classes OF
warships, to assure equality of naval
strength for the United States with
Great Britain, to arrange a satisfactory
relation between American and Japan
csc naval forces; and to bring about
reductions in tonnage wherever prac-
ticable."
He declared that mo delegation
asked the United States to participate
in any security pact. The American
delegation made 1t plain that the
United States would not join any con-
sultative pact which could by inpli-
cation be regarded as giving security"
Cites Safeguarding Clause.
Senator Robinson described the safe
guarding clause in the treaty as pro-
viding: THAT If any one of the three
(the United States, Great Britain or
Japan feels its national security
jeopardized by new naval construction
Of any power whose auxiliary fleet has
not been limited, it may notify the
others what increase 1t requires. The
others may then make proportionate
increases. This is in no sense a sane
ton, neither does it provide for con-
gultation."
Pointing out that this clause could
be criticized as permitting disturbance
of the figures agreed to-" the speaker
said the relations of the fleets and the
principles of limitation would still be
"It should also be remembered" he
said, that the limitation of ornaments
must proceed only through the volun-
tary action of nations and that no pow
er can arbitrarily impose on another
restrictions of the means of defense
without assuming more responsibility
for its safety.
Limitation Of Armaments o. KID.
att is of first Importance that the
limitation of ornaments shall be re-
garded as increasing rather than d.
n1inishing the safety Of peoples"
In conclusion, Senator Robinson
said: Our war tonnage Is now be-
coming obsolescent and we are faced
with the necessity of rebuilding much
of the Navy. The treaty enables us to
proceed with the task in an orderly
manner and at a lower total tonnage
than we have had in the past, in spite
of the fact that we have built less than
any other country represented at the
conference"

LONDON PRESS is ALARMED.
Reuters Construes Violence as Acts OF
"Hooligans." Not Gandhi.

LONDON, April 81 (P).-During the
week end the London press has become
thoroughly aroused over what is con-
sidered to be an increasingly dangerous
trend of events in India.
Advices indicated determined and
bitter hostility toward the British, far
surprising that of decade ago. The
massing of crowds threatened in some
cases, to get beyond control. The def
mite tide toward violence is said to be
growing rapidly.
Reuters news dispatches from many
parts of India show that defiance OF
the government salt monopoly is fast
receding into the background. Savage
outbreaks at Karachi, in the Bombay
presidency's western tip; at Calcutta
and at Chittagong are construed as
showing that hooligans are Selling
the opportunity of Mahatma Gandhi's
campaign to vent their feelings on the
police and harmless Europeans.
