“When I take the oath of
office as United States District
Judge it will be as an Alaskan
and I shall perform the duties
of that office as an Alaskan,”
declared Judge Justin W. Hard
ing, whose nomination for Dis
trict Judge was confirmed re
cently and was guest of honor
at a Juneau Chamber of Com
merce luncheon.
Judge Harding declared that
he realized the grave import
ance to the people of Alaska is
the United States District
Judge. The rights of the peo
ple to life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness, he said, is depend
ent in large measure upon the
ability and integrity of the
court, and its fairness and im
partiality.
He said there arc always two
sides to a question before the
court, and he called attention
to the difference between the
position of one who represents
only one of those two sides and
the court which stands between

A Bed Time Story
STRANGE RED-FELLOWS
Who is Edward G. Morrissey?
He is the owner and editor of
the Ketchikan Chronicle — a
newspaper without any political
father; a newspaper without
political sex—that claims to be
Republican, but ALWAYS ad
vises you to vote for DEMO
CRATS. The Chronicle is a
journalistic hypocrite, without
morals, character, reputation,
honor, or decency. It always
opposes the welfare of Alas
kans. It is always wrong. Its
opposition is a boost.
And Morrissey personally?
Let John Frame, Morrissey’s
side-kick answer! Before Mor
rissey began furnishing Frame
the paper and ink for his “Daily
Bulletin” John Frame called
Morrissey a journalistic black
mailer, an embezzler of lodge
funds, a grafter, a tool of the
canning interests. (For a list
of other endearing terms, too
numerous and oderous to men
tion, which John has applied to
Eddie see almost any issue or
the two. He only knew one star
to guide a court, and that was
absolute fairness. He said he
could only promise to be fair
and do his best as a lawyer in
making decision and, in most
cases, turn the matter of decid
ing as to the facts over to the
j ury.
In summing up this phase of
his talk, Judge Harding said he
bore no malice toward those
who had charged that he was
not an Alaskan. He said it was
legitimate political argument
before his confirmation by the
Senate, but he said, “it is a cold
cinder now.” He declared that
he had become an Alaskan by
adoption—the only way one not
born here could do so. He said
he would never have come to
Alaska if he had not liked the
Territory and the people that
live in it. He declared that he
will take the oath of office as
Judge of the District Court as
an Alaskan and perform the
duties of the office as one.
o
any of the magazines and news
papers Frame has started since
being kicked out of the U. S.
Commissionership at Hyder).
And who is Frame? Let Mor
rissey answer The Chronicle
called Frame a “disreputable
dead-beat,” a “character assas
sin,” a libeler, a grafter, and
many other affectionate names.
(For further description of
Frame see back numbers of the
Chronicle published before Mor
rissey and Frame went together.
Is Morrissey right about
Frame? or is Frame right about
Morrissey? Or are they BOTH
right about each other?
Frame is the man who was
elected National Committeeman
in 1924 (when Ex-Governor
Bone called him the “unspeak
able John Frame). He is the
man who turned on Paul when
Paul refused to endorse his
slate of carpetbag officials for
Alaska. He is the fellow who be
gan to spread the poison lies
because Paul refused to join in
his scheme to turn the marshal’s
office of the First Division over
but whom even Mr. White re
to boot-leggers. He is the dis
credited politician responsible
for Albert White’s appointment,
fused to speak to, or even to
see. after this boot-legging
scheme became public.
And now, behold! Frame and
Morrisey joined hands. The
price? $40. for Frame.
What indecent bed-fellows
rotten politics make.
FRAME. MORRISSEY, and the
canneries
What do you think of that
combination.
“ENCOURAGE THE OLD MEN”
The youngsters of Sheldon
Jackson School trounced the A.
N. B. team of Sitka the other
day by the score of 41 to 29. The
youngsters were Robert Grant,
Oscar Osborne, Andrew Gamble
and Claude Morrison.
We hope the old men will not
become discouraged but that
they will insist on a longer
game next time. We think a
game with one hour halves
would be about right. The
youngsters might get tired, and
that would give the old men a
