\ETCH1K_AN. ALASKA, APRIL 25. 1915
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
Wfaat are our lawmakers doing anyhow? Are
they asleep ? We wonder- Here we are—and have
bees—coaxing, praying- imploring, begging- More, ore
are making “googoo eyes” to every fisherman to come
to our pert and give us a chance to bid for his catch,
yet very little attention he pays to our entreaties.
For this month we may reach the enormous figure
of 4»>.V>A‘ pounds of fish: when as a matter of fact
we should show millions of pounds instead; all due
to the fact that our Lawmakers refuse to adopt the
Canadian i-iv. as our own- Which is all in Gods
green earth they would Have to do- To think of it
makes us sick.
Some of our smart lawmakers will ask: Where is
the fish going to? To the United States, of course
by way of a foreign, port- If the fish was taken to
Seattle: or any other American port; it wouldn’t be
so baa- because oar citizens would derive some bene
fits- but as it is- a foreign country gets the benefit
And at that- a country that imposes a duty on its fish
to prevent it from being shipped to another country
without getting scene revenue from it- Canada wants
to save her fish and in the event it is sold outside
of her domain, she '- ants sotr-e profit- which is right
Ther why not do the same when all Ke have to do
is to adopt Canada's fish regulations- With us, our
fish is destroyed and a few men got a little benefit
by going to a foreign country to ship it while our
ewn country !,~cs fish, revenue and everything else
Yet our lawmakers keep on sseeping
Wake up you people; can’t you see that we need
attention? We may look small to yon—and possibly
we are small, ye: you cannot consistently deny us
the right :■;< fiaim as interest in oar fish industry, be
cause we are American just as much as any free
traders: which sn't saying very much. We beg year
pardon! We forgot that this administration favors
free consequently to protect as would be con
trary to its policy- Mush on! and by the way. stick
to your right and after a while we shall reach an
other administration that may not be adverse to
protecting its own eitizens
IT WILL NEVER DO
We wen; Mexico in order to secure peace
::t : -I'-' - N that we have secured it. we
are contemplating returning Sjpme- This is a mis
take because just as soon as we have turned our
back, they’ll shoot us. The Mexicans don't want
peace; therefore ;.f we want lasting peace we shall
have to stay with them- Cananta is not to be de
pended upon anymore than Villa. Even if these two
ioen should come together anti agree to lny do- 1 i
their arms. other would pick them up and continue i,;
the everlasting struggle for supremacy. So. what is
the use* Let us stay there and make the greasers
behave or build a wall incapable of being penetrated
by either Americans or Mexicans along the border;
but just so long as they are free to come and go,
trouble we shall have
THE ABOLITION OF MAN.
(New York Times. 1
What was that dauntless states woman, worthy of
stem Kansas of the fifties, who uttered the im
mortal phrase "Man must be abolished ?” She was
Kansas. Perhaps she was of the mighty days of
Populism At any rate, her stark words still rankle
in the bosom of the sex to be abolished. Hers was
a counsel of perfection In the Emporia ..Gazette a
milder but still sinister attack on the tyrant is
made b\ "A Woman Who Votes.” She writes that
“the mer. will never again have a right to smoke at
banquets in Kansas " To live in Kansas may be a
k»y so consummate that the smoker will not miss
-he forbidden cigar Bat coarser a.en. in non
i«:t”t.ge states, nvrv be f.* g v.re for .-JrudJtring
California bans another scourage:
The women dubs of the Alameda district, in ses
sion recently at Lodi. adopted a resolution for the
restoration of the poll tax. but specified particu
larly that the tax should not apply to women.
So the Sacramento Bee- Where, where shall
guilty man hide? These curtailments and. burdens
seem guideboards on the dark road to abolition.
JUNEAU GRAND JURY REPORT
(Juneau Dispatch !
Reports of grand juries are generally filed away
to be forgotten until the next grand jury convenes
There is one recommendation, however- made by the
recent grand jury which should not be allowed to
sleep- The necessity is pointed out of havng the de
partment of justice to establish in Juneau means of
hunting and prosecuting crime- This is a matter which
the Dispatch has emphasised time and time again.
The long list of unpunished murders in Alaska, not to
speak of other crime, is the best evidence of the need
of having on the scene men trained to hunt down
criminals and secure evidence when a crime is com
mitted
As the Dispatch has often pointed out. the aver
age deputy marshal is merely a process server. He
knows very little and probably cares less about the
ways of criminals Moreover, he has no money or
authority for investigating crime- It is his business
only to serve a complaint or warrant after it is
placed in his hands and make his returns- If the
department of justice would show a little more in
terest in seeing that criminals' in Alaska are hunted
down arid punished instead of filling the offices with
their favorites and using Alaska revenues mostly for
the "spoils of office” there might seem less reason
for the agitation for statehood- In any event, there
is no question about the need of furnishing money'
and trained user, in Alaska at the present time to
insure residents reasonable safety for their lives and
property
