The argument Stroller White ad
vances to support the candidacy of
Frank Boyle is that Mr. Boyle owns
a little home in Juneau while Dan
Sutherland does not. That is about
as deep as the Stroller ever gets in
his thinking. The Stroller has not
informed us what the line of argu
ment really is, whether Mr. Boyle
would make an even better Delegate
to Congress if he had a big home
in Juneau, or had two homes in
Juneau, or what would happen if
Mr. Boyle had the home in Ketchi
kan.
Then again, suppose Mr. Boyle
should get elected and then should
sell his little home in Juneau; would
Mr. Boyle immediately lose all his
merit ?
Or else, if we should vote for Mr.
Boyle because he has a little home
in Juneau, would Mr. Boyle promise
on oath that he would keep his little
home in Juneau. It would not be
right for Mr. Boyle to get our votes
on the strength of his little home in
Juneau unless the said Boyle should
promise to keep the said little home
in Juneau. And then again if
he did not get elected, would we
have the right to say that Stroller
is as sore as a Boyle? What?
The Democratic Papers of Juneau
and Ketchikan are saying that Dan
Sutherland is not advocating State
hood for Alaska because Dan does
not want Statehood. Well, Dan is
for Statehood all right, but he knows
the demand for statehood is as fool
ish as barking at the moon.

The truth of the matter is that if
Alaska were a State, John W. Troy
would have to say, “How do you do,
Senator,” and that would be tough
for John.
The “little home” argument of
Stroller White’s isn’t wo bad after
all. But suppose, Stroller, some il
literate owning an equally modest
“little home” were to run for Dele
gate to Congress?

Judge E. E. Ritchie, Federal Judge
of the Third Division, roasted the
Grand Jury there because they did
not indict any fishermen for violat
ing the laws whereas they indicted
only Cannerymen and Trapmen.
That’s all right, Judge, everyone
has the right to stick up for his own
friends.

However, criticism like that Judge's
is not fair unless he is willing to say
“The evidence placed before the
Grand Jury, to my certain knowledge,
ample to justify the return of true
bills against fishermen.” Instead of
that, the Judge says: “It has come
to be from several sources . . . .
that the grand jury has adopted as
a policy the ignoring of bills against
individuals and the indictment of
cannery and saltery owners.” Let
us know the “sources,” Judge.
