ANOTHER FREAK BILL
Now comes Congressman Black of Brooklyn with the
prize bill of the season, which provides tnat whoever re
fers orally or in writing to the religion of a candidate for
president, vice-president, senator of congressman shall be
fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than
three yyeyars, etc.
Now, many will agree that using a man’s religion
against him in a campaign is unjust, but to try to prevent
such a thing being done through a law as proposed is not
only a violation of freedom of speech, but an utterly
foolish and futile proceeding.
Besides, no candidate worthy to aspire to either of
the offices mentioned would want to conceal his religion.
To do so would imply that he was either ashamed of it or
afraid to have it known. A candidate who would invoke
such a law in his own behalf would be held in contempt.
Not that all propound such sillv suggestions but at
the same time we can’t help but wonder if there are any
conghessmen such as Mr. Black setting on committees
pertinent to the Territory of Alaska. If there are, have
pity on us some more.
CAN THTS BE TRUE
“Short Skirts Too Scant in Alaska’s Winter.”—
headline. Suggested travel slogan for new Alaska Rail
road and Chamber of Commerce literature: “See Alaska
in Winter.”
Broadcasting of proceedings of the Alaska Legisla
ture is he1’’'1" ° pitr ted. Let us hope they won’t pass a law
compelling folks to listen.
