SPEAKING OF UNFAIRNESS.
t , • ■ --
Speaking of unfairness yesterday in regard to
President Wilson’s proclamation in making a cer
tain reserve adjacent to Annette Island, led us
, to look into another case where not long ago
the district court tied one man’s hands and al
lowed the other party to the dispute to go ahead
and perfect his claim. And the district judge
called it justice. Of course what may appear as
jnstice to one man may appear the rankest kind
of injustice to another; that is inevitable. But
before tying up one man’s hand in a dispute, it
would seem but fair to hear the whole story lead
ing up to the dispute and decide the case on its
merit. When a dispute arises between two per
sons, to prevent one by injunction from prosecut
ing his right to the benefit of the other, is equal
to a man taking candy from a kid. The kid can
not help himself anymore than the man with
the hands tied by injunction.
In the case in point, one party secured a fish
trap location, but due to laches in not perfecting
his location, another comes along, relocated and
proceeded to work. The first obtained an in
junction from the court restraining the relocator
from setting up his trap. Meanwhile the first
party goes to work and finishes the setting up
of the trap. To us it seems as though when
the dispate arose over the location, the right
to it was involved, than both party should have
been prevented from perfecting the location un
til such time as the right of the respective party
had been determined according to law and justice
and not by the injunction route, a dangerous
instrument in the hands of any man.
THERE OUGHT TO BE AN END.
There ought to be an end to this Mexican
trouble. If we have a right to interfere, let us
do it now. This is the way most of the people
feel about it. Our peace of mind has some in
herent right* that should be considered. Patience
is a jewel, but even jewels wear out, and if we
allow our patience to wear out completely, we i
may go too far in our vengeance at its destruct
ion. While we still retain a certain amount of
control ov r ou’ selves and have some feeling of j
kindness left for the Mexicans, but being aware!
of the fact that it cannot last forever, it would
seem proper to spank them until they promise :
sincerely to be good.
None can say—above all the Mexicans, that:
the administration has not done all in Its power 1
to avoid a conflict, but since it appears impossible ;
to avoid it any longer, let us go at it and make
an end to it all. There is nothing so annoying
as to be annoyed, and surely we have been annoy
ed a long time and in large doses.
If the old republican war-horses ai not nv -
ing love to Teddy these days, they ; e at least
making goo goo eyes at him. Most cf us can
only hope that they will not seduce him. He
has always been on the right path, ar 1 it would
be too bad to lead him astray at his time of life. |
WILSON. THAT’S ALL.”
(Post-Intelligencer.)
“Wilson, that's all—-except Marshall." That is the
ticket, and so far as the head of it is concerned, the
Democratic platform, the SL Louis convention and the
Democratic party. Democracy has confided its present
and its future to the gentleman who sits in the executive
chair at Washington, has delivered over its proxy and
is content to stand or fall under his guidance. For the
present Mr. Wilson is the party, and his voice is now
the voice of Democracy.
While various citizens were required to attend to the
detail of naming convention delegates, all other import
ant functions were looked after by the chief. There was,
therefore, no confusion of interests in the convention, no
"favorite sons" to be dealt with, no clashing over plat
form declarations. Mr. Wilson outlined the platform,;
selected his running mate and the "keynoter.” checked ,
over the list of national committeeman and directed the
strategic disposal of forces for the campaign. There is,
therefore, intense Democratic harmony, because Mr. Wil
son finds it impossible to quarrel with himself.
ENVIES WOMEN.
(From Life.)
I am a man, and I should dress like a woman if I
were not such a coward.
That is. I should revel in velvets, in silks and satins,
in plumes and ruffles, in rich or delicate colors, in dar-1
ing and dashing modes, in endless variety suited to my ;
whim, to the weather or the occasion. It would be great
fun. I would be an artistic gratification. But I don’t
dare.
In the days of knighthood, when men were really
brave, they outdressed the women; but in these degen
erate days we do not venture our fancies beyond cravats.
No man in modern times has dared to dress as he
pleased, except Oscar Wilde, and we buried him with
’ craven hisses.
We men rail at women s fashions, but in our hearts
we know ourselves to be the slaves of fashion, of one dull,
deadly, monotonous fashion, which we hate, but from
which we are too cowardly to free ourselves.
