MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
Fewer government employees and more men employ
ed in constructive work is one of the requirements of our
continued prosperity. A nation that is top-heavy with
office-holders feeding at the public trough will soon lack
the vigor of long life.
Thi s man Sutherland is rich. Now he wants to re
lieve Pacific coasts cities of the TERRIFIC burden of car
ing for Alaska's CRIMINAL INSANE. No doubt he
believes the greater proportion of this vast thinly popu
lated realm, are about “half-nuts” because some chose to
support his opposition. But the big question is, where
are all the criminal insane and who are they?
Alaskan cases are badly crowding coast institutions.
YE GODS! TAKE HIM AWAY.
Again we welcome the Delegates to the Democratic
Territorial Convention, which convened in Seward today.
We wish there were more like you.

“In some places he cannot marry
■whom he pleases, but must marry in
accordance with the dictates of some
state uplift eugenic bureau. Here he
is told what he may eat, there he is
told what he may smoke, and every
where what he may. drink. In some
places when the children come he is
told how he shall raise them^ to
what shall be taught; what he may
read, or write, or see on the stage, is
also prescribed, and not content with
this his government tells him how to j
cook meat, how to raise foxes, how to :
hang curtains and finally the Depart-'
ment of Agriculture a few' months ‘
ago put out a handbook entitled, i
“Pocket Essays on Kissing’’.
“I submit the result of such regu- ;
lation is more and more to change
and transform our lawr from its age
old purpose of protecting life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness to a man
made scheme for social control and i
the regulation of personal conduct and i
personal relations. So^tb years ago;
two executive departments of the fed
eral government issued a circular let
ter relative to an area in Alaska in i
the joint control of such departments, j
After numerous an£ lengthy don’ts,!
it is forbidden, et cetera, the circular ^
informed the perplexed citizen if you
don’t knowr which dpartment to write
to about matters herein stated, wrhite
to both. I submit such admonition is j
probably one of the wisest ever put |
out by a department clerk.
“I have the admiration of most cit- j
izens for the wisdom and far-sighted
ness displayed in the first of the ten
amendments to the Constitution of
the United States as prepared and
■drafted by that incomparable leader
of your party, Thomas Jeffersop. And
even though the valley of years is
between the ilfe of your leader and
our present days, it is yet with a
thrill we read the Fourth and Fifth
Amendments to the Constitution, so
rigidly necessary in this day.
“Because I may disagree with those
drawing salaries in the Heinz Varie
ties of Bureaus dealing with Alaska,
as a part of this welcome I am ex
tending to you honorable Delegates,
jand as a part of this enunciation of
“ principles with which I think no
I ■
Alaskan can disagree, and so that no
charge of political laziness may creep
into your proceedings; and, to reit
erate the idea that I am trying to
put forth,—that our Constitution is
not meant to be a code of morals,
subject to interpretation by as many
religious creeds and beliefs as may
exist, but is the greatest heritage a
free people can have^ a heritage to I
us from Washington, Jefferson, Adams
Madison, Hamilton and all the others
rich in political experience and prac-!
tical knowledge of their time, I will |
repeat some well known expressions |
as to its stability and usefulness.

“The wonder of our Constitution
is that it commands respect and ad
miration not only as a remarkable j
achievement of the past, but, rather
as a vital working force of the present
The Constitution means more than
mere words for within it is included
the whole appealing history of man’s
struggles to gain the blessing of lib
erty and freedom. It means our homes^
our lives, our happiness; it means
our government, our flag, our ideals;
in a word it is our Nation.
“Our Constitution is composed of
the dreams, the desires, the aspira
tions of the oppressed and down
trodden. It is composed of the wisdom
of its creators, the skill of its inter-1
prefers, the mastery of its executors,
the ability of its legislators and the
whole hearted support of its followers.
It is the result of many centuries of
experience and thinking. It means
strength^ the strength of our Nation;
our Constitution means progress, the*
progress of our Nation; it means
success^ the success and prosperity
of an even a greater United States
that it yet to be, and which you are
helping to create and extend.
