A square deal for Judge W ickcr
sham is all that is asked says our
contemporary. This is a petul ar
- statement for a paper which is sup
posed to be trying to represent the
people of the district. How about
a square deal for the people? Are
they not as much entitled to square
treatment as their servant, the
judg ? We are not opposed to
Judge Wickersham getting a square
deal and hope that he does, but
what we do object to is tbe fact
that in tbe attempt to secure the
square deal for him the whole
Third Division is made to suffer.
For nearly a year now all court
business in this district has been
subsidiary to the personal business
of the judge. Important business
interests are at a stand still,
prisoners are confined in jail await
ing trial, the public moneys of *he
district are tied up, and.no protest
can be made because such protest
might prejudice the chances of
Judge Wickersham getting that
“square deal”. Judge Wickersham
is a bright and able man hut some
of his friends forget that he is only
a servant of the people, and that
the people of this district are en
titled to consideration ahead of
him. Let there be a square deal
by all means, but don’t let it he
eonfined to the members of the
judiciary. Let the people have a
“square deal”.
The Alaska Territorial Central
Committee, selected by the Alas
kan Territorial Convention at Se
attle last fall, has issued a call
through its chairman, John W.
Troy, tor a meeting at. Skagway
May 26, to consider the advisabil
ity of issuing a call for a non-parti
san convention to nominate candi
dates for delegate to Washington.
The Central Committee is com
posed of the following gentlemen:
John \V. Troy, Skagway; Charles
K- Davison, Juneau; J. E. Lath
rop. Ketchikan; A. Z. Watson,
Nome; Charles E. Herron, Candle
Creek; N. H. Castle. Council City;
John H. Hughes, Fairbanks; S. O.
Morford, Seward; J. M. Lathrop.
Valdez. it is hardly likely that
the members from anywhere ex
cept Juneau will he present at the
meeting as the call only reached
here May 21, and there is no boai
leaving for the South before the
2tuh.
The learned exponent of the in
fallibility of the judiciary ipiotcs
•■‘Out and out enemies do iess dam
age to a man in Judge Wicker
sham’s position than his fool
friends” as a text for a brilliant
editorial sermon. The Learned Ex
ponent stumbled over one of his
metaphors early in the sermon
and became rather incoherent,
but later he developed his usual
convincing, logical style and
Stated that lie. was supporting
Wiekershain for the reason tha'
the judge had nothing to
leer" from his numerous enemies
as he had none. This news wiil
be a relief to the people of this dis
trict, many of whom were under
the impression that some cncmc
of the judge were trying to prevent
bis confirmation. Now that tin
local purveyor of logic and mix <!
metaphor has discovered that such
is not the case some one should
put the judge wise I for strang - ;
8av he is laboring under the same
delusion) so that he can return to
bis oflieial duties.
Judge Mellen of Coppcrm Mint,
bas been named as another candi
date for the nomination, for dele
gate. Up to date lie makes the
•ixlh candidate from tlie pan
' handle. He is a brother-in-law of
the new governor and a demo
crat.—Sitka Cablegram,
If the [.earned Exponent will cite
the instances in which we have
Bade “adverse and misleading
Comments” we will “show our
and relieve him of the men
' tal strain of trying to <ln it for us.
in looking over our files we fail to
find any comments which were not
! tullv justified hv the conditions.
