WHAT DID DAN MEAN?
In a letter to Secretary of Com
merce Hoover on August 16th, 1922
Delegate Sutherland said:
“The enumeration of destroyed
salmon streams in Alaska could be
continued for many pages, but it is
sufficient to say that throughout all
the southeastern section of the coast
there are numerous streams that
once carried a splendid run of sal
mon but are now entirely barren, of
fish life, while within the areas cov
ered by the jurisdiction of the De
partment of Commerce under the
act of 1906 stand the frameworks of
abandoned fishing appliances which
serve as memorials of a vanished
fish life and as monuments to the in
competency of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries IN THE PAST.”
Why mention the past when the
incompetence of the Bureau is in
greater evidence at the present time
than at any period since its institu
tion.
EXEMPT LAWYERS
During the course of a trial some
years ago, a witness was asked by
the prosecuting attorney whether he
knew what it meant to take an oath.
He replied: ‘‘To take an oath
means that you swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.”
“What happens if you do not tell
the truth?” asked the judge.
“If you do not tell the truth, Your
Honor,” replied the witness, “it
means that you are dishonored in the
sight of God, dishonored in the sight
of man—in fact, you are dishonored
in the sight of everyone except
lawyers.”

BATS AND BRICK-BATS
Tom Gardiner, from Dillingham,
Alaska, writes us as follows:
“A paper for Alaska and Alaskans
that suits me. I have received two
copies, have passed them around.
They are worth reading and deserve
the support of all true Alaskans.
You have my best wishes for the
success of your paper.”
We have heard rumors that Gov
ernor Scott C. Bone wants vindi
cation (?) at the polls and will file
for the preference vote for gover
nor. We hope he does. Such a move
on his part will satisfy the Ameri
can principle of majority rule, and
we say here that Alaskans will not
have any kick if the majority of
the people want the misrule to
which he has subjected us.
