so that his sense of dignity was never recognized until Hank lar ruped him. Cutie stood for the moment after being larruped, trembling, snorting sighfully, he deliberately kicked that buggy all to pieces.
 We suppose that there is a moral to this story-you can find it for yourselves. The exc cUtive leaders of the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood think it very appropriate at this time just before the fall political cam lpaign begins. It has adopted g moral from that story, so passes

That Divinity Which Doth Hedge A King''

In Cooper vs People, g Paci- f1c 790. The following appears as a part of the opinion of the court:
 "As is well known, justice was originally administered by the king in person, in aula regia, and later, when judges were ap- pointed to sit for him, their per- sons were endowed with a por- tion of the dignity of the sov- ereign whose personal represent atives they were. To speak dis respectfully of them was to disregard that dignity which doth hedge a King" In this country, the sovereign people claim no attributes of divinity and are under no illusion as to the fallability of those who ad- minister the law. Our people de- mand only that judges shall not Le treated so as to interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties. Beyond that they.

must rely on the same law as other people for protection from

 The carpet bagger who comes to Alaska with a government job in his pocket and an inferiority complex in his soul; who uses government boats for transport ation on his frequent hunting trips thereby saving much mon
 ey to take back to Ohio and who frequently invokes the extraor- 'dinary remedy of CONTEMPT to bolster up his lack of dignity, should spend more time studying law and less in pursuing the
 brown bear.

'Company-Carl A. Sutter, gen.
 eral manager in Alaska. Last year, having no use for his sein- CTS he called them in, paid t,,em $21 per day to lay in port, en- ployed the men as longshoremen gave them extra pay; ordered them the last two weeks to go out to his traps and fill up their boats from the traps and paid , them for the fish; employs every available resident possible. The same policy rules in Ketchikan
 with this company-the only fault being that the company
 has too many efficient traps so that they do not need many local fishermen to put up their pack. /! In Wrangell NarroWs is the ScoW Bay cannery-Oscar Nic.- hOlson, manager-using some thing over 32 resident laborers. New cannery-old- -Alaskan-not certain as to future policy. Op-
 crates traps.
 { In Wrangell are the Diamond K Packing Company and the Wrangell Packing Company. Diamond K is owned by Karl Thiele of Juneau; employs local
 labor in the cannery but has TO l use for Seine-caught f1sh-does buy gillnet salmon. The other company is owned by William ! Hale formerly of KlaWock and Frank Barnes of Lake Bay. Both men long residents of Alaska land have the reputation of be- ing fair and square with their men; operate but one trap and use as many fishermen as pos sible and employ only local help. The benefit to the town of Wran gell is oft spoken of by all the various interests of the town. Out Craig way is the Libby, McNeill and Libby Company Chicago, the company that made .racketeering popular in Alaska as well as Illinois. Fishermen can work for this company pro- .vided they will use company boats and gear, buy their own .oil, their own grub and coal and deliver pink salmon at one cent per fish. When the fishermen are through working for this com pany, the company will own them body and soul. As it is right now, these people hardly dare think out loud.
 The company takes three elghths of every cent earned by the crew as it's share.
 This is the result of the O. Malley regulations which are in conformity with the demands of the Meat and Beef Trust. O'Mal- ley recognizes the fact that re- sldent labor is not being en- ployed but declares that it is a 1 form of conservation. A few lousy fish mean more to O'Mal- ley than the souls of human be- ings. But after all, what do . l few Siwash fishermen and ig- norant white trash mean to mer whose god is money-Whose souls are cast from the dregs Of ] he'll. Starve and be damned We are saving fish for future generations. Conservation -wha4 l crimes are committed in thv l name!

"Alaskans May Go to He'll"

The business men of Alaska .dO not seem to understand yet that the difference between pro- fit and loss in their operations
 is the gainful employment of re- Isident labor. Alaska business men still look for and hope for a millennium to come through the ICannery operations of the Chi Icago Meat Trust and it's federal patron Henry O'Malley.
 Down in Ketchikan are over
 forty seine boats tied up to the dock in the new Thomas Basin Harbor. Eight Ketchikan boats are out trying to make a few dollars under the cannery re- Isrrictions and prohibitions. The several canneries operating in that district have employed in the neighborhood of 450 F'ilipinos lat something like $50 a month land what little food it takes to keep them from starving. Port Althrop, that plant operated by the Skinners of Seattle employ '150 F'ilipinos and by the 20th of
 July had not employed. any na-
 tives. The company had no use for resident seinerS-did not
 want their salmon at any price
 above one-half cent per salmon --'buy your own gasoline, eat yourself, etc" P. E. Harris Com .pany at Hawk Inlet is sore at the fishermen because seven years ago the men had the guts to re- fuse to go out fishing at a price D eloW the standard offered even in the Icy Straits scab price district. This benevolent company employs 120 Filipinos-- and lest we forget-the price of cannery labor-resident if you please-is fifteen cents per hour. The Meat Trust will condescend to pay the resident for his labor i14 the canneries-sliming saln1- On which should not bring less than 45 cents per hour, machine labor which brings ordinarily 40 cents per hour and other labor - packing cans, etc., brings 35 cents per hour.
 As a special favor to the Gov ernor of Alaska-he having re- quested that the canners en- ploy all local labor possible these wonderful, country build ing, philanthropic institutions owned by the Meat Trust, pro- tected by Henry O'Malley the servant of the Meat Trust-are going to force themselves into bankruptcy by paying Alaska labor Is cents per our. In an- other year Or two, Alaska labor will be paying these benefcient. eleemoosinary institutions IS cents per hour just to be per mitted to work in these can- neries.
 We travel along down Cha tham Straits and find at Tyee, that fine man Stuart of Sebas- tian and Stuart employing TO labor This gentleman was called recently for not having local labor employed. He called up his superintendent and asked "Is it a fact that you do not Fave any natives working?" Upon receiv- ing the affirmative answer he asked again, Why in hell haven't you employed these pao- pie? Put them on immediately:' Whether it was done or not that is something else.

Contempt Cases

We have been told that our editorial on Justin w. Harding might be considered lin con- tempt of court" because we re- view a pending case" We had no such thought. We are merely protesting against what seems to be the unworthy practices of a man who for the present sits as a judge.
 If it be a contempt to say that MT. Statter was not ac- corded his full rights and to wish therefore that our judges were amenable to the voters of Alaska, then we would have to face the issue, and let a jury de- eide whether our utterances came within the rule of flair comment or not.
 Our readers can decide for themselves, the facts being as follows as we have learned them:
 MT. Statter is the chief deputy U s. Marshal of this division and under. a $20,000 bond as a disbursing officer. Judge Justin w. Harding made a ruling that acquisitions must be approved by him before money could be ex- pended from Fund c" of the courts funds Quilt up almost entirely by the marshals office) MT. Statter wrote letter to the Judge showing that this proce- dure was sometimes impossible and cited this case-suppose the Judge was on one of his numer- GUS bear-hunts and the toilets flooded" would this matter have to wait until the Judge got back?
 This the Judge said was Acon- tumacious.
 When Statter appeared in court, his attorney handed the judge a letter denying the in tent charged, but the Judge slapped on a fine of $50. Attorn- ey Foster protested that there was no confession" of guilt and moved to "quash" the charge of contempt. Harding overruled this Then Foster answered by deny ing the charge and demanded a jury trial. The demand for a jury was denied, and Judge Harding adjudged Statter guilty O1 contempt ana CnlS time nneQ Statter $100. Attorney Foster gave notice of appeal and asked that bail be set, but the Judge from Ohio refused to set bail until the appeal was perfected. This was completed by 5:30 pm. but the Judge had gone home and "could not" do anything. So MT. Statter went to jail for one night.
 In any other court in the United States, the district at torney would have moved that
The Alaskan., 1932-07-29

the cnlef deputy U. 5. Marshal
 be allowed his liberty on his own |recognizance. If the district at
 torney failed to so move, any
 other judge but Harding would have made the order himself.
 The injustice done to MT. Stat ter touches the liberties of every other citizen who might come before MT. Harding. Even as we protest against this practice, we might be the very next. We are publishing an indepen- dent newspaper devoted to the lpublic interest. Shall we sit si- lent for one or two years before registering our protest? It might
 be t h t a thousand citizens could be jailed as MT. Statter
 was if the public submitted to what is going on in the Court of the United States at Juneau. We are willing to run the risk as a duty which we owe the free born
 citizens of the United States. NepOtiSm

 Sister in law
 MT. Harding. 2,400 year Total one family. $15,4OO.CG We wish to commend the ex- ample of Justin W. Harding in This tender regard for his in laws" Too many people under the same conditions would have mo thought for those needy re- lative swho have a claim on them. In MT. Harding's case, he
 fired John Newman, mighty fine man and competent report
 CT, family dependent upon him, who also left a fine business in Seattle to work for the Court
 here. But even so, it is. not hard to see that MT. Harding must love his family very much when lie can disregard all this and throw out Newman's family Of three to scratch for themselves. Mrs. Mendoza also has needs and if Judge Harding did not get her on the payroll, he might have to give her something from his $1O,OOO. salary that might not continue long because many people believe that MT. Harding expects to go back to Ohio next February.
 In some places nepotism (to hire ones nepheWs or relatives i'll the public service) is consid- cred wicked during these hard times, but this precedent is not yet recognized in MT. Harding's court, and so it is legal all right even tho hard on John Newman.
