(Prince Rupert Daily News) Large numbers of Doukhobors have already been sentenced to prison fololwing the recent outbreaks of nudism by the Sons of Freedom in the West Kootenay colonies. The jails are already full of them and more will have to be incarcerated. And go on with the latest incident the the blowing up of a railway bridge. So the vexed problem is still unsolved with jailing the perpetrators now obviously not the answer.

Rough-and-Tumble Veep You can't beat Alben Barkley when it comes to rough-and-tum- ble debate or after-dinner speeches. The other day in Chicago, Bark- ley pulled a near-miracle. The occasion was the big Democratic rally honoring Thomas Jefferson just before President Truman ar- rived from the West. The dinner was poorly handled. The toast- master forgot to introduce Post- master General Donaldson and Secretary of the Navy Matthews. Jack Arvey staged a show of dan- cing gitls from Chez Paris, while in contrast motherly Congress- woman Mary Norton of New Jersey droned out a 30-minute speech. By this time it was nearly mid- night, the honor-guest table was almost empty, and the audience was ready to go home. But Bark- ley was still to be heard from. Most speakers would have too discouraged to start. Vice President got to the polnt of what other speakers had ig- nored—the real story of Thomas Jefferson. He described the details of his life, his influence on the nation, and did it in such a way that the tired and milling audience actually listened. been Absent Congressman This 'column, to Congressman ham of North Carolina, recently explained his prolonged absence record from Congress by the fact that his wife had passed away 10 months ago and he had not Léen able to concentrate on his work That exvlanation may have been leaning backward overly generous. Since then, it h been learned that Congressman Chatham’s absence has been partly due to House parties at his Curri- tuck Sound cottage. Two weeks ago, furthermore, he brought Mrs. John T. Barnes, Jr wife of a Reynolds tobacco official to the Baptist Hospital at Winston- Salem at 2:30 am, May 8, with a severe gash at the base of her skull. Mrs. Barnes, 35 years old and a prominent socialite, was suffering from loss of blood. Mr. Barnes arrived at the hospital at 5 am. Hospital authori nurses and internes flatly refused to discuss' the incident, but Congressman Chatham, when queried, said that Mrs. Barnes had been dining, with others, on his terrace, had caught her dress in a chair and fallen, hitting her head against a marble wall.

This committee has issued a cir- cular which states: “In 1946 we played a major part in defeating Senator Wheeler of Montana, leader- of the extreme isolationist bloc, and in 1948 we were mainly instrumental in de- feating Senator Revercomb of West Virginia, leader of the ex- treme reactionary group.” None of these gentlemen is a citizen of Montana, so far as I can learn. They are not citizens of West Virginia, which Senator Revercomb represented. They head a committe which consists princi- pally of New Yorkers. They raise money to influence elections oflt»{ side of New York state. In this same circular, they in-| dicate that they plan to Xnvndei Nevada to effect the defeat of| Senator Pat McCaran. It says: “In Nevada Senator McCaran is! seeking re-election—he was primar- | ily responsible for obstructing equi- table legislation for the admission | of Displaced Persons.” i I also want to quote the end of the circular: “Alone, you can do little; witk| others of like views, you' can do much. Through the Committee on National Affairs you can help ef-| fectively to determine the charac- ter of the next Senate. “We need your support so that we can help elect the kind of Senator that you want—please send us a contribution today.” | Of course, these people can doi as they please, but their operation! is antagonistic to every theory of| | American government. The United States Senate con- sists of two representatives from each state. The senators used to| be elected by the legislators of each state. By adoption of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution in| 1913, senators are to be elected directly by the people of each state. Senators are not elected nation- ally but in each state. Citizens of iNew York obviously cannot, vote in Montana.. or.,West M Nevada. .It is not intended that they should have any influbnce mn (those states. It is intendéd “that { the people of each state should be completely unhampered iR their own choice. However, if huge sums of money, | directly or indirectly, are poured into states from New York' to in- | fluence every election, it could come to pass that unless a can- didate satisfied this committee or some other committee in New York, all members of the Senate would be representatives, not of their states, \but of New York or any other pressure groups. Of course, this is an extreme statement of the case, for none of these committees are as important as they were during the war and immediately after. The public is growing a bit weary of all this meddling in other people’s business |and contributions are not as plenti- ful as they used to be. Nevertheless, the theory ought to be restated that each state in the United States is, by the Constitu- | tion, sovereign and that the people tof each state have the right to select their own representatives | without the consent of the “Com- | mittee on National Affairs” of !New York City.

Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Charles Sey, Guy Smith, Mrs. J. R. Guerin and Robert Fraser. Accompanied by Mrs. Charles Fox, Douglas Campfire Girls took their first hike of the season, going to Nevada Creek. Only a few days after Miss Vida Beuhler’s arrival to visit her sister, Miss Gladys Beuhler, high school tencher, the two young women had the exciting experience of a near-encowater with a brown bear in Silver Bow % | Basin on the slide across the valley from the Alaska Juneau boarding | house. Bruin evidently did not see them and disappeared, but the femi- nine hikers returned to town immediately at an incredibly fast speed. J. P. Williams, U. S. Forest Examiner, arrived from Gambier Bay, his headquarters while he cruised pulp timber on the lower east side of Admiralty Island. He came in wit? Ranger Harold Smith on the Ranger IX for supplies. After being in the business for 13 years, Charles Miller announced the sale of the Miller Taxicab Service to Walter Wellich, the transfer to take place immediately. Miller retained one of the three cars for his own use. Wellich was to make his stand at the Pioneer Cigar Store and Pool Room, owned and operated by Miller. John E. Gray arrived to preside over the first chair at the Silver Fox Barber shop, returning after 10 years in the States. He previously had lived in Juneau for four years. Another new barber, Milo Curich, came from Portland, Ore., and occupied the second chair. James J. Connors, Jr., who had been attending school at Santa Clara, Calif., returned on the Northland to spend the summer. Mrs. G. L. Butler of Oklahoma City, mother of Mrs. J. A. Davis of Juneau, arrived to visit the Davis family for the summer. v Weather: High, 54; low, 37; clear.
