BROTHERHOOD
By Warren Worth Hailey, Jr., In
the Johnstown, I'a., Beuiocrat.
Reprinted from 1..ABOR
Under the toiler's grimy shirt.,
I nder sweat and grease and dirt,
Under the rough outside you view
Is a man who thinks and feels as
s
. YOU.
Go walk with him,
Go talk with him;
Sii down with him by a running
stream,
Away from the things that are hiss
ing of steam,
Away from his bench,
His hammer and wrench
i
And the grind of need
And the sordid deed;
And this you’ll find
In the things which count when his
day is through
He's as tender and big and as good
as you!
Be fair to him
And share with him
Ac. hour or more in a restful place,
Bother to brother and face to
face—
And he'll whisper low
Ol the long ago.
Of a loved one dead
And the tears lie’s shed;
Tlnm you’ll come to see
That in suffering he,
With von, is hurt by the self-samn
rod
\\ nich turns for help to the self
same God!
Like you he gropes,
l ike you he hopes;
You dream of splendors and so does
iie,
His children must be as you’d have
yrurs be;
He shares your love
F«r the flag above;
He laughs and sings
Fo1’ the self-same things;
hen he’s understood
He is mostly good,
Thoughtful of others and kind and
true,
Brave, devoted and much like you!
Under the toiler’s grimy shirt,
Under the sweat and grease and
dirt,
Under the rough outside view
Is the man who thinks and feels
like you!
FIRST RIVTSfOX AM) THE
LEGISLATURE
From the .Juneau Empire
-o
What it. (lid not say about the Repub
lican Legislative ticket.
After all is said and done the mos*
important duty that the voters of
Southeastern Alaska will he called
1 pon to perform on election day
re at month—unless we except to as
sist in electing; a Delegate to Con
gress—will be to choose members
of the Territorial Legislature. There
are two tickets in the field. One :s
he . emocratic, but it is really com
posed of candidates personally se
lected by representatives of the Can
ning Trust, and nominated lorgely
nv those who vote at their dicta
tion.
The Republican ticket is one of
the strongest, if not the strongest
of all the tickets ever nominated
fc r the Legislature in the Territory.
While the candidates are Republic
ans and are running as such, their
appeal is to all bona fide residen
Alaskans who live in the Territory
a^ d expect to remain here—to the
men and women who are building a
cv mmonwealth here There is no^
a weak spot on the list.
Cnarles Benjamin leading busi
ness man of Wrangell, is running
f^r Territorial Senator. He is an
exceptionally able man, who has
been in business here for many
ye-*r;5 and thoroughly understands
the people of Southeast Alaska. (He
served as a legislator in the House
two years ago; prospected and
mushed over the trails of the Inter ;
tor and is known as a friend of the
fisherman yet who is big and broad
enough minded to be fair and
souare with every interest.
Peter C. McCormack, who is run
i*ing for (lie House of Representa
tives, is one of the very best citi
zens of Wrangell. He is a leader in
thought and activities in this see
tion. He is progressive, has large
vision, is an unusually able business
nnn and of the very highest person
u! character. He lias lived here
most of his life—is ,in short, one o!
Alaska’s prize productions. He is
public spirited, energetic, enterpriz
ing and alert. He will make an
ideal Legislator. (Was a member
of the Territorial Legislature and
sponsored progressive legislation
His experience will mean more to tin
electiors than the inexperience o.
ai y of the opposition.)
A. L. Olts is a business man oi
Ketchikan. He is an expert mining
man. For many years he was in tli >
interior, (and in later years at Ket
'kail. He is a good business man
a'io takes an active interest in all
ci\ :c matters. He is running for Re
presentative.
William L. Paul, candidate fo •
Re present ai ive, is one of the loading
lawyers of Ketchikan and Alaska.
IT > is well known in Juneau, for he
practiced law here for several lear^
before he located at Ketchikan. *He

p-g-.t two legislatures give him ex
pc Hence and qualifications not, en
joyed by any of the opposition cand’
dates.

man. He has for many years en

business men.
if the Democratic First Division
Li.fislative Ticket should NUT be
ol 'cted the Division would have a
standing in the next legislative ses

or. animation of the Territorial Gov
eminent. The candidates (Repub
lican are among the leading men of
the country. All are pioneer Alas
Kans and all of them expect to live

All of their interests are here, an 1
h. ir concern for the welfare or
Alaska is an all fours with all those
who live and work and and own pro
perty here. Never was a ticket
nominated anywhere that deserved
•lection more than these nominees
•‘or the Legislaure. The people
ought by all means in their own in
terest, ratify their nomination at
the polls.
We thank the Empire for these
fine compliments that it did not pay

VP PEA LING TO PREJUDICES AND
SECTIONALISM
Speaking of Senator Clias. Curtis’
statement that the Republicans pre
feried opening their political
ings with ihe national anthem “Sta’
Spangled Banner” and not with ‘‘On
the Sidewalks of New York,” the
Demo-Repub organ of Juneau says
it is an “appeal to prejudice and
sectionalism.” Concluding the wail
ing whine of a whipped cur it says
. ‘Talking of Americanism!. We i
have a lot of Little Americans who
are trying to give us a very mean
standard for measuring it.” And
no better example of the littleness
oi Americans can be shown than the j
appeals during the past few years
for “the supremacy of the ‘white
race’ in the Territory.” Oh, yes!
It nurts and is wrong when the oth
er fellow uses the s*ime weapons.
We will call attention to this
statement as the campaign grows 1
wanner and Johnny forgets that. :t *
is wrong to voice his own bigotry.

it! I L IS NOT LAW HY FAILURE
HI VETO WHKN CLOSING OF
FIRST SESSION INTERVENES
The Court of Claims, in a decision
rendered April 16, held that a bill
\v. mil passed both the Senate and
the House of Representatives at the
\ cist session of the Sixty-ninth Con
gress prior to adjournment thereof,
lid not approve or sign the bill pri
:u to adjournment of (hat session,
w.thin eight days, Sunday excepted,
if °r the bill was presented to him.
'ihe opinion states that it is con
ceded that the exact question hat
not been decided heretofore by the
Federal Courts.
'I'he suit was brought against th >
!>• ited States by certain Indian
tr;bes, under authority of an act of
Congress described as Senate bill
.No. 3185, Sixty-ninth Congress, first
S' -sion, entitled “An Act authoriz
ing certain Indian tribes and bands
joi any of them residing in the Stat >
lo* Washington, to present their
claims to the Court of Claims.” Um
dei the rule stated above, the couw
i
he’d that the hill did not becon"
a law so as to confer jurisdiction up
on that court.
Representative Dill, (Dem.) o"
Waterville, Wash., when informed
| of tlie decision, stated orally that
the issue was of such importance
that it would undoubtedly be carried
to the Supreme Court by the at
torney, W. S. Lewis, of Spokane
for the Indians in the State of Wash
inHon. If the Supreme Court re
turns a decision that the bill is not
a law then, he said, he would intro
duce it and try to get the President's
signature.
History of Legislation
. he bill duly passed both Houses
of Congress on June 23, 1926, was
signed by the presiding officers there
of and “duly attested as by law re
quired.” The opinion states that
thereafter, on June 24, 1926, it was
duly presented to the President of
the United States.
Eight days thereafter, Sunday
exepted, there was a final adjourn
ment of the Sixtynintli Congress
The President did not approve or
sign the bill.
Chief Justice Campbell, who de
livered the opinion of the court,
points out that Article 1, section 7
chi use 2, of the Constitution of the
Ended States provides:
“Every bill which, shall have
passed the House of Representatives
a1. «1 the Senate, shall, before it be
comes a law, be presented to the
President of the United States. If
be approve he shall sign it; but, if
r.it, he shall return it, with his ob
jections to the House in which it
sha 1 have originated, who shall en-i'
t .t the objections at large on their
journal, and proceed to reconsider
n
Ten Days Given for Veto
“If any bill shall not be returned
b\ the President within 10 days
(oiindays excepted) after it shall
f.a\e been presented to him, th
same shall be a law, in like man
ner as if he had signed it, unless
th° Congress by their adjournment
prevent its return, in which case it i
Snail not be a law."
The plaintiffs contended that the
hill became a law. The Govern
ment urged the contrary.
Hie court says in the opinion:
“The fact in the instant case is
that the first session of the Sixty
ni'ith Congress adjourned several
days before the expiration of the 10
day period provided for, and aha’
w,ip an adjournment of the Con
gross. The Constitution does not
limit the time of adjournment to
lb 3 final adjournment at. the second
session, and the courts have no
right to so limit, it.”
The court concluded that the bill
in question never became a law, and
therefore the demurrer should be
sustained and the petition be dis
missed
Congress.itself has taken a differ
Congress itself has taken a diffe
ent view of this question, holding
that the word adjournment refers to
tiiu final adjournment of Congress.
In other words, Congress holds that
the word adjournment is not proper
ly used unless it refers to the end
of the Congress, any other “adjourn
ment” being in reality a "recess. '
This subject is of interest to Alas
leans because of the fact that many
bMs ol the last legislature were
signed more than three days aftei
the legislature adjourned sine die
There is serious question as to th
legality of several laws now on the
books.

WHY CRACK AT 40—OR ANY
OTHER AGE?
A current magazine comments up
on .the tragic number of men who
“c’ackat 40,” that is, go to pieces
physically somewhere between 40
and 5 0. It is disgraceful to America
that this should be so, for it is near
ly all preventable
The important thing is to prevent
dis ease from getting a foothold by
permitting no cause for dis-ease to
e\ist. First in importance is intel
ligent care of the spine, for removal
of disease creating pressure upon the
nerves.
By my Chiropractic health method
I correct dis-eases of the eyes, ears,
nose, throat, lungs, heart, stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels and lower or
gans. •
