CONDEMNS HARDING
Representative Grant of Wrangell
has introduced a resolution in the
territorial legislature condemning
the administration for its action in
creating fisheries reserve in the
waters of Alaska and demanding the
immediate abolition of such reserva
tion.
Not often, if ever, commentes the
Ketchikan Chronicle recently, in the
history of the nation has a state
or territorial legislature, preponder
antly made up of one party condem
ned the federal administration of
the same party. It is so unusual that
the suggestion of it becomes almost
amazing beyond comprehension.
The present administration has
shown keen interest in Alaska and
its bureaus and departments have
recommended legislation for the Ter
ritory which as yet has been in sev
eral instances overlooked or disre-1
garded. President Harding himself
has shown especial interest in the
Territory. He has repeatedly ex
pressed the desire to come to Alas- j
ka to gain first hand information
regarding it and has promised that
he will make the long journey dur
ing the coming summer unless some
thing of vital national or inter
national interest prevents. And if
he does come, he will have shown
more regard for Alaska than any of
his predecessors, for never in his
tory has a president or even an ex
presiden: set foot in the Territory.
And r.ow. The Chonicle states
further, when he is about to so
honor the Territory, is he to be
greeted with a slap in the face
from the legislature? It is un
thinkable. And it is to be hoped
that every member of the territorial
legislature will give .serious thoug ht
to the proposed resolution.
As Mr. Huston, assistant secre
tary of commerce, well said recently
that the administration only stepped
in as a last resort because it had
not been possible to get legislation
to cover the situation, and that the
reserve would only exist until such
time as congress acts in the matter.
President Harding is not attempting
to usurp the functions of congress,
nor has he at any time. On the con
trary he has shown unusual con
sideration for the wishes and feel
ings of congress
Likes and dislikes, and politics,
should absolutely be forgotten in the
consideration of the proposed resol
ution. Only one thing should be con
sidered. and that is whether the
Teritory of Alaska wishes to insult
President Harding? It may be ar
gued that even of greater consider
ation than that is the abridgment
of personal rights of fishermen, or
for the conversation of the fisheries.
But such is not the case, for the
proclamation of the President will
stand until congress meets again
next December, as now intended. If
the legislature wishes to do some
thing constructive but not insulting
in the premises, let it adopt resol
utions, or a memorial to congress,
asking it to put the fisheries ques
tion foremost on its calendar for
the December term; to go into the
matter thoroughly and pass such
legislation as it may think proper
for the conservation of this food
supply, that the reservation may
then be eliminated as is now intend
ed by President Harding.
It is a certainty that President
Harding will not change his procla
mation creating the reserve for this
fishing season. And for that reason,
if no other, the proposed insult can
do no good and is likely to do irre
parable harm.
While the legislature is consid
ering this Grant resolution, it will
also have before it a resolution
I a *
. extending' an invitation to Presi
dent Harding to visit Alaska during
the summer. If it passes the Grant
resolution, to be consistent it should
kill the resolution of invitation^
APPROPRIATE CEREMONIAL
Alaskans who have learned to
1 know Col. John C. Gotwals says the
Juneau Empire do not have to be
' told that he earned in full measure
the Distinguished Service Medal that
, has been conferred upon him. H.s
; work in Alaska has proved his ca
pacity and disposition to render dis*
] tinguished service in anything he
undertakes. It is very appropriate
that the Legislature has seen fit to
make a public matter of the presen
' tation of the medal. It gives the
j people of this Territory whom he
! has served for the last few years
an opportunity to show their respect
and admiration for the distinguished
j army officer.
The immediate development of an
export lumber business of gigantic
proportions between Alaska and the
Orient is now being considered by
' Mackie & Barnes, one of the largest
exporting firms on the Pacific
coast according to the Wrangell
Sentinel. This firm operates a num
ber of ships which it has chartered
from the U. S. Shipping Board, and
handles practically all of the ex
porting business from the Gray’s
Harbor district, and from other lum
ber districts on the Pacific coast.
The consolidation of the lumber
output of the sawmills of Southeast
ern Alaska would be necessary in
order to make the project feasible.

WOMEN JURORS ARE HARD
ON WOMEN OFFENDERS
BERLIN'. Mar. 27—German
women, recently accorded the right
to sit on juries in criminal cases,
have shown an inclination to im
pose even more severe punishment
than men, particularly in cases
where the defendants themselves
have been women.
,-I always feel sorry for a woman
defendant,” said a Berlin judge
commenting on women's entry into
the jury box, ‘‘when a majority of
the jury is composed of the fairer
sex. My experience so far has been
that the women have le.-s mercy
than men, and hold out for verdicts
accordingly."
Ever since Germany became a
republic and women gained the
right to the ballot, the question of
permitting them to sit on juries has
been brought up for discussion from
time to time, there being many op
ponents to the advancement of
women’s right among the public
generally and especially in the legal
profession. It was long contended
that women were too tender-heart
ed to listen to sordid details of crim
inal cases. But the women demurred
to these contentions, kept up the
struggle for admission as jurors and,
after nearly four years have finally
won their point.
