ABOUT THAT REWARD AGAIN ..
Sceie one has said that “Of all the funny things
sn thi3 world, the funniest was the man." If who
ever sakS that had had our case under consideration,
he would no doubt have added that of all the small
things in this worid, the smallest is the mind. If
you ever noticed, a small mind always relies on a tech
nicality to gain a point in an argument, controversy
or con.ract. Such being the care, we wiE proceed
with <.cr argument which has reference to the re- •,
ward that was offered for the arrest of one Krause.
As we said before, the United States Marshal re
fuses to give Carisea the reward; giving as his reason
that since Carlson failed to make the arrest himself,
be is not entitled to anything.
When the reward was offered a premium was put on
Krause's head. The man is-supposed to be a desperate char
arter, and no: a lamb nor a rabbit, therefore, not like
ly to submit to any old order from people who have
no authority behind them for support. Not that Cart
son touki not have made the arrest, had he know.t
the condition of the notice, but under the circumstan
ces for him to hare notified the officials was all that
breed minds would hare required, because we hare
constables, marshals and other officials whoso duty
it is to take care of malefactors. These men earrv
guns and other insignias of their authority and are
backed by the whole of the United States. Not so
with the ordinary mart, woman or child who were sup
posed to make the arrest if they wanted the reward.
It is true that the notice specified "for the arrests
yet it is equally true that nobody has any right to
arrest another without a warrant unless be see a crime
committed. It is different with an official Carlson
had no warrant for the arrest of the man and what
he did was ail that which a good ritixen could have
done; and was it not for the fact that a small
mind is behind the reward. C art son would hare been
given what really belongs to him.

IT LOOKS THAT WAY
Thinking matters political, it strikes us quite sing
ular that Wkkersham declared himself of the Republi
can party sometime ago, and turning over the situa
tion in our mind we can see the nigger m the wood
pile, as it were. While we admit that we may pos
sibly be mistaken, yet the deduction seems reasonable j
I
which is this:
Ever since early last spring, the country at large
has been looking at the old republican party with
favor. As though it wanted to invite it—without
appearing too anxious, to come forward or something,
until this look became so persistent and the signs
so unmistakable that it started the party towards
the goal in earnest again. Wickersham, who nobody
can accuse of being slow in anything where Whicker
sham is interested, saw that as soon as the old party
became re-united again, his name would be Denis. I:t
was then that he decided to do just what he did, or
anybody els* would have done under the same condi
tions and circumstances; and declared himself of the
party. Knowing full well that as soon as this would
be known, his old enemies who have stayed in the
party all these years and fought him at every turn
of the road, but who quieted down a couple of years
ago. would come out again against him, divide the
party and elect Wickersham. While he has always
been a republican at heart, he is not the kind of re
publican who appeals to the old bosses with whom
be has been at outs for many years.
Wickersham knows very well that his support lies
in the division of parties. The more discontentment
there is among the members of the old parties in Al
aska. the better his chances are of being delegate,
consequently, when he saw the possibility of re
uniting the old party, to save himself, his only alter
native was to declare himself as having returned with
in. His whole ambition is to keep the party divided,
not only the repbulienn party, but the democratic
pnrtv as well. Dus was exampHfied in a bill that was
framed up at the last session of the legislature which
had Wickersham’s entire support but which for some
reason or other, was ditched. He has proven himself
a fairly good fighter and he knows that so long as the
old parties are divided, there will be enough discon
tented to elect him every time. Thus we come to the
conclusion that he wants to be elected again, bis de
nial to the contrary notwithstanding. And as sure
as anything, if Shackleford and a few others stick
their noses in the re-organization of the republican
party. Wickersham is the next delegate In spite of—
and hot water. On the other hand, let honest republi
cans—we know they are scarce and all that hut there
are some, somewhere—re-organize the party without
the assistance of those who disrupted it, and the party
can elect whoever it pleases, because with a united
party, Wickersham has no more show than a jack
rabbit would have, and that ain't much.

HUMAN HELPFULNESS
(Philadelphia Ledger)
The lone hand, the lone mind, the lone soul, is a
thing quite impossible—it always was Impossible.
Men may asphyxiate or crucify each other, and still
they cannot blot out the fact of human brotherhood:
that lived before Cain and Able, and it will go on
living after the last gun is fired or the last ship is
sunk. And human brotherhood, if it means any
thing, must mean no vague philosophizing, no essay
delivered at a distance, but an active ameliorative
effort on the spot. The head is not poulticed for a
wound in the foot: the arm is not put In splints
when the leg is broken. We are ever more ready to
minister to another's affliction by absent treatment
at long range than we are to go and do in person.
The vague sentiment, the impulse unfulfilled, is very
easy. The wireless telephony of pious platitudes is
cheaper than travel.
