He looks like an aristocrat, but he
comes of lower middle-class stock. He
is the son Of Congregational minister.
He had to depend on scholarships and
his own industry to make his way.
There was neither money nor influence
in his family. He did brilliantly at
school and university. At oxford he
was elected president Of the famous
Union. He was 26 when he was called
to the bar He was married the same
year, and learned what it was to strug-
gle hard. He earned some money on
the side in journalism.
But he made his mark pretty quickly.
Solicitors with briefs to give out to
struggling lawyers noted that this pale

There are two Illuminating stories of
his young days. He was counsel for
the defense in a case which rested on
Identification of prisoner. The chief
witness for the prosecution was the
owner of small shop. Simon went into
the shop the day before the trial and
asked for a packet Of pins. The shop
keeper said he didnt sell them, and
referred Simon to another shop. Next
day the witness swore Identification of
the prisoner.

deed? Would it surprise you to learn
that only yesterday I came into your
shop and asked for packet OF pinS?''
The witness collapsed. Simon won his
case.
In the other a key witness in a
houSebreaking case adroitly eVaded and
hampered Simon'S questions by pretend
ing TO be hard Of hearing. Simon, de-
tecting the maneuver, shouted several
very awkward questions, and then IN a
pause dropped his voice and quietly
asked harmless question which he
thought the man would be eager tC
answer. The witness fell into the trap
and answered at once. The credibility
OF that witness evidence was imnedi-
ately destroyed. The judge, the jury
grinned and Simon scored another VIC

THERE is an old French tale of
the seventeenth century that
every French child reads in
l. school as soon as he can spell
and which he learns by heart as
soon as he can read. The title is The
Ant and the Grasshopper." 1t tells the
very simple story Of grasshopper, hav-
ing sung all the Summer long, being
caught without any reserve food when
the Winter comes. So the grasshopper
calls on the ant and asks for a small
loan of some dead flies or worms. But
the ant, who is thrift itself, asks dryly:
What were you doing all last Sum
mer?" To which the grasshopper makes
reply, IT was singing, if you don't
mind" "You were singing, were you?"
exclaims the ant. well, now you may
dance!"

 Tax on Non-Residents
 Now then, how can you shut out the imported seiner? Some years ago the Legislature passed Ia law placing tax of $5 on all nonresident fishermen The Fish, erunen's Union of San Francisco made a fight on the law, claiming it was beyond the powers of the Legislature to enact it.
 T fought that case through to the Supreme Court of the United States and won. Since then the tax was increased to $10 on non- resident gillnetters and $25 on non- resident seiners. More recently the Legislature placd a tax of $250 on nonresident trollers. That law is now before the courts and I expect to win.
 Question For Voters
 "The question for you to decide is who do you want to handle this litigation, which is, bound to come, for you? Everything de- bends on your lawyer. He must not only be honest, he must be experienced and competent. If you know of anyone who possesses these qualifications in higher de- gree than I do, you should vote for him.
 You are now hiring lawyer, not to help. lawyer, but to pro- tect your rights. Is. my, record as a lawyer such as, to entit1e me to your support?
 Paul NoI nesident
 Some three years ago, William Paul announced. he was leaving Alaska for good to settle in Seat tie. He then. left Ketchikan with his family and established a home in Seattle, where he opened a law office.
 The law requires that to be ad- mitted to the bar in the. State of Washington, the applicant must by resident of that State. Will liam Paul applied for admission, and with his application filed an affidavit that at that time he was resident of Seattle, That was only a year ago. This summer he came back to run for Attorney General. M M Weakens His Position But our law requires that a person is not qualified to. serve as Attorney General of Alaska un- less he has been a resident of this Territory continuously for five years immediately preceding his election. ! What has Paul to say to that? He simply says he never ceased to be a resident of Alaska, and that he had gone to Seattle only on pleasure jaunt.
 Nov when fishermen comes here only during the fishing sea- son and spends the rest of the year in the States, what position would Paul he is to deny that such man was a resident of Alaska? Ii the courts should hold that Paul has been a resident of Alaska continuously for the last five years, it would be impossible to prove that man who comes here only in the summer is not a resident.
