City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 22. 1915.
While it is true that the public is
sometimes inclined to he mawkishly
sentimental over criminals who have
become noted for some peculiarly vlc
i ms crime and particularly where thero
i a woman Involved as the incentlva
or tlie victim.' it seems from the im
mense umount of agitation manifested
in the Prank case that this strange
tendency is either taking a most ex
aggerated turn or else the prisoner is
in reality the victim of a most diabol
ical plot, as is insisted by his support
ers. The latter belief is more or less
supported by the refusal of the gov
ernor to allow the law to take Its
course in spite of the general agita
tion of tho people of the state who are
loudly demanding a victim.
In many aspects this notorious case
Is comparable with the celebrated Dur
rant case of many years ago which
also worked a marvelous influence on
the people of that period. As in the
Prank case the victims were young, of
good character and connections and
the person charged with the crime was
also of excellent character and of un
usual capabilities. The circumstances
under which the crimes were commit
ted are also of striking stmtllarity. In
both cases the evidence was of the
character known as circumstantial in
the most extreme degree. In the case
of Durrant as in the case of Frank the
very uncertainty of the evidence,
backed up by the open hostility of the
police toward any effort to prove the
prisoner guiltless, aroused an intensity
of public feeling seldom witnessed in
the history of crime in America. Ap
parently the same aspects more or less
dominated the public mind in the case
of Frank and, outside of the immediate
environs in which the crime was com
mitted, the inclination of the public
was toward the prisoner who appeared
the victim of police persecution whose
execution would be a grave perversion
of Justice. Whatever the testimony
may have been upon which Frank was
convicted it is fully determined that
outside of tho city of Atlanta it Is the
general feeling that the prisoner was
hardly being given ft fair show and
the tone of public comment seems to
have been simllnr to that displayed by
the public at the time of the Durrant
trial; namely that the prisoner was
simply a sacrifice to the desire of the
I police to secure a victim with the leust
I amount of effort. While It is doubt
less true thnt many an Innocent man
has become a victim of tills tendency
on the part of the police to cling fast
to the first subject upon whom they
fasten their suspicions and to utterly
excluded any testimony which may
serve to cast a doubt upon the infal
libility of their Judgment as to who Is
the guilty person, it is also true that
In the general run of cases the police
nro usually right in their estimate.
Still, as long as uncertainty exists as
to the guilty or innocence of a pris
oner it is probable that the natural
disinclination to take a life without
'justifiable cause will continue to in
fluence Justice until such time as the
laws are abolished which permit a
man who may be innocent to become
the victim of police persecution
First: That the governments of the
United States and Japan acted wisely
In adopting the agreement to limit im
mlgartion from Japan Into this country.
This limitation will prevent more com
ing than can be absorbed into our in
dustrial life. The workers of the Uni
ted States would be benefltted if sim
ilar agreements were made with the
governments of other countries from
which we reeive each year large num
bers of immegrants.
Second: That the alien law of Cali
fornia was an economic blunder ns well
as a violation of treaty obligations
Tills law. forbidding the thirty thou
sand to thirty-five thousand Japanese
men resident in California to buy land
or to lease land for more than three
years, condemns them to Join the large
army of Americans who are landless
and homeless, it condemns them to be
either wage earners or land renters,
competing against American wage
earners and land renters for employ
ment by the owners of California's
lands and industries. Most of these
Japanese men, I am informed, would, if
permitted, buy small tracts o* farm
or garden land and make permanent
homes thereon. They would in this
way cease to compete against Ameri
can wage earners in the labor market.
They would become taxpayers, helping
to support nil social Institutions—
i roads, schools, the local governments.
Their Increased contribution to the
food supply would reduce the cost of
living for nil residents of the towns
ind cities. The alien land law benefits
inly men who "buy labor." It is a
law to benefit the rich by sharpening
competiti in among the poor for em
ployment by the rich I am surprised
that the labor unions of California
have not denounced this law for this,
Its most apparent injustice to their
members. 1 suppose the unions en
dorsed tile law believing it would drive
the Japanese out of California. They
were mistaken It will not do that.
For this reason: the Japanese laborers
n California are economically far bet
ter off. even if denied citizenship and
the right to own land, than any like
number of Japanese laborers either In
Japan or elsewhere on the globe. They
will remain Here, More will come year
after year. Their children will grow
up here. If forbidden to own fnrms
and become Independent producers of
food, they will become each year a
larger factor in the labor market of the
towns and cities—competitors there
against native wage earners.—“Amer
ica's Issue with Japan," Frank Putnam
