LOUIS F. PAUL.MANAGER and EDITOR
SUPREME COURT
FOR ALASKA
Delegate Wickersham has in
troduced a bill in Congress which
shall give to the Territory oi
Alaska, a supreme court which
shall give sit in cases wherein
small claims only shall be con
sidered. The court is to be com
posed of the four federal judges
residing in the territory and any
judge who shall have sat in any
case shall tarred from partici
pating in the decision of the
court in any case on appeal.
At present it ccsts around
?i.500 to carry a case to the
court of Appeals in San Francis
co. The printing of briefs alone
runs into considerable money
raid many who perhaps, really
have a grievance cannot make
an appeal lacking the funds to
do so.
The Territory of Hawaii has a
supreme court which is func
tioning without the limitations
that are being imposed upon the
proposed court in the Territory.
We do not concede that the
Hawaiians have any higher de
gree of intelligence than the
citizens of Alaska and therefore
are not entitled to any greater
benefit of a supreme court than
Alaska. Then, all things being
equal, a similar court should be
provided for in the Wickersham
bill providing for a supreme
court, for Alaska.

USE THEM OR TAKE
THEM OUT
On another column is a note
stating that Commissioner O’
Malley has served notice to trap
site owners who did not operate
their sites this year to put them
in operation next year or lose
them forever. Two exceptions
cnly are made.
Now just what is the big idea?
Weren’t the local fishermen
clubbed and browbeaten enough
last year by the trap operators?
Wasn’t their earnings small
enough to satisfy the greed oi
the operators or are they using
Heniy to try to scare the fisher
men into acquiescent slavery?
The Alaska Indians were slave
owners and while they have been
mighty docile in the past when
the dictators of Alaska’s fisher;,
regulations attempt to browbeat
them their docility must not b
mistaken for fear nor must thei;
temper be tried too much. If
such policy continues, some day
Henry O'Malley will wake up in
heaven or hell and a nice num
ber cf canneries will lay smould
ering in ashes. Tire Indians are
fatalists and they are not so
civilized as to fear the law
when they have been hurt too
much. There is a limit to all
t1 mgs; rubber is stretchable
only to a certain point. Evei
steel has its limitations and
when turned into a weapon dot!
no end of harm.

“DEAR OLD SOURDOUGHS”
By James R. Little
-x
We are like trees, dear old
Pals! You and I, in the autumn
dying glory Who have lived life
bravely, drivingly, and stand tr
the last, sturdy and fine. Losing
cur hold on life, without though!
of sadness. Trees die in the au
tumn, to live again in the spring
time. And while the happy birds
sing rich dawn notes across the
shadows of the hills, brilliant
hues still throw their massy
glorious splender against the
autumn sky! Flinging a daring
challenge to us to end life gal
lently, smilingly and joyously,
heads up and colors flying.
Let us once again, old Pals,
dream of the dim years passed
into oblivion where you and I
mushed Chilkoot Pass. Let us
dream of the Yukon’s evergreen
shore line. And as we dream in
silence, soon, soya, ihe crimson
light will fade away, and all the
wild magic vailey will be at rest.
The tumult in our hearts at las:
has ceased. It is, dear old Pals,
the twilight hour for y r and I.
There is no past. No g.hden fu
ture, now. Only this little silent
hour beside the Yukon River.

TARIFF BLAMED
“The world-wide tariff war
.may not have been the main
cause of the pre ert financial
I collapse, but international eco
nomists admit it has figured as
a most important factor.”
This statement was made by
Dr. Henry F. Grady, dean of the
college of commerce, University
I of California, and trade advisor
[of the San Francisco chamber of
commerce.

MONROE DOCTRINE OF
EUROPE IS PREDICTED
-x
“The present move toward
tariff protection in England and
on the continent is developing a
European Monroe Doctrine to be
1 built up for the purpose or
! maintaining European security
over the United Slates, just as
100 years ago our Monroe Doc
trine was announced in order to
maintain American security a
gainst Europe,” said Francis P.
Miller, chairman of the World
Student Federation.
Mr. Miller spoke on “The Eco
Ir.omic and Financial Relations
Between Europe and the United
States” at the University Y. M.
C. A., Seattle.
Mr. Miller believes America
eventually will have to adopt
liee trade, and points out that
just as Lincoln declared we
could not exist “half slave and
free,” neither can the world
exist “half free trade and half
high tariff.”
