“I believe that the people ol
Alaska, when entitled to litigate
any questions in dispute with
any of the departments at
Washington, should be authoriz
ed to institute the legal pro
ceedings for that purpose in the
courts instead of being compell
ed, as now, to go to the Capital
to do so. The present order is
tantamount to a denial of the
rght to submit such disputes to
the courts and tends to encour
age autocratic attitudes by the
various bureaus.
“In consonance with this view
I also believe that the War De
partment should be relieved of
the burden of adjudicating pri
vate rights to the water front or
to navigable waters, a function
which does not belong to it, but
which the peculiar conditions
prevailing in Alaska have forced
it to assume.
LEASES FOR TRAPS
. .“I also believe that owners of
fish traps and trap sites should
be protected in such ownership
against all interference except
by the Government, and to that
end should receive leases for
their trap sites for a fixed period,
subject always to revocation and
whatever rules and regulations
the Government $ee lit to im
pose.
“I believe in eliminating from
the public life of the Territory
all those individuals who make
a business of stirring up antag
onism against industrial insti
tutions for the sake of getting a
hand-cut.

RUSTGARD EMBRACES OUR
OLD “FRIEND”
Now when pretty much every
body feels that the fisheries in
Alaska could be handled with
greater benefit to the Territory
through the local Legislature,
Congressional candidate John
Rustgard comes out emphatic
ally in favor of Henry O’Malley,
Vvith whom he will “co-operate”
in “securing the best possible
rishing regulations.” For this he
is highly commended by the Ju
neau Empire, which also takes
a slap at Delegate Sutherland,
as follows:
••Uo-operate with u iviaiiey.

presentative in Congress lias de

The Empire and managing ed
L itor Pegues have always found il
. quite profitable to boost Henry
, O’Malley and now they have
convinced John Rustgard that
he should break away completely
from Delegate Sutherland’s
policies. Of course they have
rhrown dust in the eyes of John,
who now forgets that Suther
land was always elected, despite
the vicious opposition of the
Empire, and that the Attorney
General has always gone into
office on the Sutherland plat
form. But John now prefers to
play in the backyard of his en
emies. Good-bye John, don’t
disturb the fish as you sail i.p
salt river.
JOHN’S CONVERSATIONAL
APPLESAUCE
-x
For years past, Attorney Gen
eral Rustgard has been advocat
ing—and apparently with much
sincerity—elective officials, se
gregation of Territorial and Fed
eral functions, a greater pro
tection pf our timber resources,
and fisheries, reductions in
freight rates, a subsidy to estab
lish a steamship line between
i Prince Rupert and Juneau, a
j curtailment of the “fawning”
instinct among the Territorial
| officials, etc., etc.
Whether right or wrong, the
! public generally gave John cred
it for expressing his honest con
victions. But since he allowed

ALASKAN OFFICE
' neau Empire, to make himself
reverse practically all of his
■ previous contentions and his
■ platform makes him wallow in
' the mire of “fawning” upon Fed
eral officials, it is now generally
accepted that John’s former
high sounding beratings were
merely blah, blaw, and more
blaw, because he then thought
ii, was good politics. Under the
guidance of a Democratic man
ager, who laughs up his sleeve
at John Rustgard’s gullibility,
the Attorney General, who would
tike to desert his present post to
draw a higher salary, complete
ly reverses his former attitude
on most public questions. And
he really expects to get away
with it, overlooking the fact
that one cannot fool all the peo
ple all the time.
NO TIME FOR OFFICIAL
BUSINESS
-x
Attorney General Rustgard
has plenty of time to attend to
his particular business of play
ing politics, but when h* has a
Territorial case up before the
Circuit Court of Appeals, as he
had in early February, time is
too precious to take away from
his campaigning to go to San
Francisco to attend to his offi
cial business. Ordinarily John
dotes on these trips outside to
San Francisco and Washington,
when his expenses are paid, but
at present he has too much busi
ness at home trying to desert
the position that the people
elected him to in order that he
might draw a larger salary from
the government. He is a very
high-minded—or should we say,
nign-winaea—puonc umaai.
JUNEAU
A large capacity house enjoyed
an Indian costume dance pre
sented in Elks Hall by the two
Camps of the Brotherhood, on
February 20th. The Interior
(Goo-na-nah) Welcome Song
was sung as a curtain raiser,
This was heard over a block
away and started the people
running from all directions to
the hall. The hall was crowd
ed,even to the stage that one of
the dance leaders was left out of
the first act. Rare costumes and
relics of a past civilization were
on exhibition for the first time
in many years. Frank Mercer
interpreted the dances for the
audience, which appreciated a
sight rarely seen these days. As
a financial success it was com
plete.
A carnival was staged in the
A. N. B. Hall with a large crowd
in attendance, muse by the fa
mous Hoonah Orchestra of 12
pieces.
Frank Mercer has been re
elected President of the local
Camp while Bessie Miller was
elected President of the Sister
hood. Other officers are as fol
lows: Harry Willard, Vice Presi
dent; James D. Johnson, Sec.;
W. S. Sutton, Fin. Sec.; Peter
Smith Treasurer. A. N. S., Mrs.
Charles Gray, Vice President;
Agnes Goodwin, Sec.; Ruth
Hayes, Treasurer. The motto of
Juneau Camp is: “Progress—Aid
Loyalty.”.
