SOFTEN HARDSHIP OF
MARRIAGE LAW
Paris.—A l»dll t«» allow Frenchmen
»ind Frenchwomen to marry without
the consent of both parents and
grandparents, if olive, has Just been
introduced In the French senate. Ac
cording' to the present law. no man
or woman may marry without the con
sent of the family, and if either parent
objects to the son's or daughter’s
choice of a mate, the objection lodged
with the mayor Is sufTlcilent to pre
vent any ceremony. .'
The hardship of this law has been
complained about by young France
for centuries, but no attempt has ever
been made to change it. Even now
the proposed reform does not go very
far: all it proposes is that if one of the
parents or gnuidpa rents approved the
objeetinns of the others shall he over
rulled. In cases whore the parents are
separated nr divorced, the consent of
the one who has the guardianship of
the child will he necessary.
Reasonable as this proposal seems
to Americans, it is courting some op
position as tending to a slackening of
family ties and authority. And tie’r
Is likely to be a long discussion before
it is adopted.
Another bill without even a chance
of success, has been introduced in the
senate for the elimination of the word
“obey” from the tveman’s part of the
mnrriag,. service. The words In tin*
French code read: '‘The husband owes
protection ;the wife owes obedience
to the husband.”
Almost all the pros comment on
the proposal is unfavorable, and in
feminist pa pci" s it is «haracterlzcd .is
reminiscent of 'Bolshevism. likol/ tn
lead first to anarchy and then to 1
tyranny in the home.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
To the Voters of Seward Peninsula
Being a candidate for the legislature from Ihe Second Division of Alaska, al ihe general election on Novo
1920, it is proper that I should -tale my qualifications for such office, and .ny views upon legislative matters affe
people of Ihe Territory
I was educated in the High Schools of Parson. Kan-a-. and in the University of Oregon, having graduated
Law Department of such university ill 1899. and.wa- in 1900, upon examination b.\ Ihe Supreme Court of Oregon,
to practice law in the court- of that state
Prior to my graduation in the University of Oregon, I wa • in Ihe railway service as a car inspector, and wa:
during the time of the strike of the American Railway Union. Secretary of the allied union- of Portland, Oregon
Arriving in Nome in June 1900, I immediately opened a law office, and have ever -nice, continuously residec
place and been engaged in the practice of law.
Politically I have been a Democrat, though never to the extent of placing party above principle, and I a
more interested in men and measures than in political parties.
I have never held public offices outside of local offices in the City of Nome.
My home, my business ar.d my interest- are all in Alaska, and though I intend -pending the coming winte
States (which will be my first winter spent out-ide of Alaska hi twenty years') I am leaving my office and business
and will return next spring.
The following is a brief statement of my view- upon some of the important matters of legislation.
OLD AGE PENSION LAW
The theory of the justice of the -o called "Old Age Pension Law-", is. that when a person lias given to his
his services during the active years of hi- life, the country should sustain him when he is old and incapacitated.
This the aged should receive, not as charity but clearly a- of right.
% The present law requiring aged persons, a- a condition to receiving a pension, to agree to vest in the Terr
of their property of which they may be seized at the time of their death, is humiliating and fundamentally wrong,
justice demands the repeal of such obnoxious conditions.
THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
The Legislature of Alaska in 1915, passed an Act to -ubmit to the people of the Territory, by referendum >
question of "A general eight hour da> for all wage earners and salary earner-.”
At the general election following in 1917, the people if the Territory voted overwhelmingly for the measi
that vote should he controlling to any one who is honest in his pretensions of belief in a democratic form of gove
There should he no r«M»m for “pussy-footing” on this question.
THE ROAD LAW
The present road law, passed by the last Territorial Legislature, which places the expenditure of money app
ed by the Territdry for the building and maintenance of road*, fnto the hands of federal officers over whom the pi
the Territory have no control, is so opposed to reason and experience, that it should be modified or repealed.
TRAILS AND SHELTER CABINS
Properly staked trails and shelter cabins are of such vital importance to those who have occasion to (rave
the winter season, that substantial appropriations should lie made for staking trails and building cabins at con <
places along the trails.
TRANSPORTATION
One of the greatest needs of the people of the Territory is relief from the outrageous and <-Ver increasing
transportation to Alaska. It is a delusion to expect steam ship mono|H>Iie>,actuated by the principle of profit, to v<
ily reduce transportation rates, but with the great fleet of government owned commerce ships lying idle, intelligen
should bring prompt relief.
* WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
The need of communication throughout the Second Division is so great, that such Territorial aid should be j
would insure the installing of wireless stations at all centers of population not now having adequate means of comi
SCHOOL TAX
Thpt the schools throughout the Territory should he maintained at the present high standard of efficiency d ,
admit, of question, but tho burdensome and arbitrary school poll lax now imposed, is*wholl> unnecessary for such pi
and tha same should l>e repealed.
. TERRITORIAL OFFICERS
The power given to the Governor of Alaska, by the Territorial Legislature, to appoint a mining inspector, s!
tendent of schools, and otlier important Territorial officers, is undemocratic and a usurpation of the high prerogativi
people. Important Territorial officers should be elective, and especially is this true in view of the fact that the G«
•s in no way answerable to the people of the Territory for his acts.
In conclusion, I wish to make it clear that in seeking the suffrage of the voters of this division for the office tc
I aspire, I appreciate fully that a legislator should be hi fact, as well at in theory, a servant of the people, and that h«
lected to carry out the wishes of the majority, and to this end the people should feel free to, and it is tlieir duty, t<
known their desires to the persons whom they select for these important offices.
With these considerations, and believing that I can he of service to the people of the Territory in the office '
seek, I earnestly solicit the votes of the men and women of the Second Division at the election to be held November 2n
Respectfully yours.
