Our citizens will hear with regret that the author
ities contemplate cur! m eg stiil further the meager
previsions for the administration of justice in !h.*
great mining country of which Mitered is the center.
It is intimated that the deputy clerk of the district
court at this point is o be dispensed with, and that
the matter of holding future, court terms here w ti
to a larger exien! than ever depend upon the amount
of business before the court in and around bag
banks, and the new centers of population wh.ch will
be created by the commencement of wore on the
government railroad project between the IN m urn
coal fields end the metropolis of the fan ana valley.
It will be pointed out that the number of cases
before the court for determination at the klitarod
term is out of all propor.on to Inc expense incurred
by the government in bringing Lie court officials on
the i ing joi rney from fair! nks, and t lat Lie time
consum* ci by llv c ur! in its annua! trips away bom

machinery of justice is to be a factor in determining
{lie frequency of court terms here or the conveni
ences to be furnished those who have business wn.
the courts, it is respectfully suggested that there arc
other wavs in which economy can he practiced1
which, far from crippling the work or the depart
ment of justice or preventing the speedy disposition
of litigation which is the right of eery citizen, wil'.
tend only to more efficiency.
A serious phase of even present conditions is the
abridgement or constitutional rights oi citizens ac
..used of crimes. The constitution of the United
States guarantees to such a speedy and public
trial by an impartial jury of the state arid district
wherein the crime shall have been committed.
There is m the Idilarod jail at the present lime a
man who has been charged with a criminal offense
and who has lain in that institution awaiting the ac
t on of a grand jury for seven months, from the
present outlook iti will be some time yet before he
is brought to trial; and when he finally faces a jury
it will be in a distant community, far removed from
the scene of his alleged fracture of the lav/. A inlc
the place of trial will be in the “district, it still will
be a violation of the spirit of the constitution. A
to the clause in regard to a “speedy trial, tins ap
pears io have been lost sight of. fins is not a soh
tar ycase. Under the conditions prevailing here it
lias not been possible to bring alleged culprits to a
“speedy trial”; it will be much harder to do so m
the future if the reputed orders of the department
be put into effect.
it there is to be uncertainty m me imure as io uie
bolding of court terms here, the interests of miners
and business men will be jeopardized to an extent
which cannot be vieewd without the gravest con
cern. What business man or mining operator will
desire to enter upon contracts which later may have
to be interpreted in a court of equity if it lie known
that litigation will involve a trip to Fairbanks or
Ruby, with the attendant expense of transporting
principals and witnesses to such distant places? It
stands to reason that loss will rather Ire sustained
than to enter upon an enterprise which the ruinous
cost of litigation might make unprofitable.
Courts are established for the benefit of the peo
pie, not for the convenience of the government ere
atde by them; and there is a general belief among
the residents of this community that they should be
afforded every facility for the exercise of their right
to have their legal actions decided as promptly as
the conditions will allow. It may be costly for the
federal government. But so are criminal prosecu
tions in large centers of population where courts are
m session the year around.
The matter of economy should not be a determin
ing factor in making provision for the administra
tion of justice.

THE TOURIST
The summer excursions to Alaska inaugurated
last year by the transportation companies are being
repeated this season, and they bid fair to be even
more popular than ever. Already hundreds of per
sons have made arrangements to visit the Land ol
the Midnight Sun, to view its glaciers, admire its
lofty mountain peaks, w'onder at the extent of its
system uf mighty rivers, and revel in the delights of
an ocean voyage along a coast which is not exceeded
in scenic grandeur the world over. Not all of them
will be favorably impressed with what they see.
Many will be repelled by the fact that the luxuries
of modern hotels are not available in the vast waste i
places through which they will pass. Some even ;
(unreasonable beings!) will find cause for com
plaint in the insistence and industry of our plentilu!
mosquitos. As is customary with persons who have
leisure and means to enjoy travel in the out-ot-the- j
way places of the world, there will be many of the
visitors who will say unkind things about Alaska
and Alaskans upon their relur nio what they are
plesacd to term “civilization.” However, if there
are Lut a few who are as appreciative of this great
land of opportunity as the Cincinnati man who was
one of the tourists last summer, and who wrote to
the Cincinnati Enquirer about h:s experiences, the
residents of the Northland may congratulate them
selves that some lasting good is likely to accrue from
the visits of these strangers. Here is the letter:
Cincinnati, February 2, 1916.

Here is a dispatch from Berlin, dated May 14, v. iich may well
lie digested by the hyphenated ones in this country who have
been denouncing President Wilson for some time pa t . .*P .m
inillian Hardin, editor of ‘Die Zunkunft.’ is loud in his praise of
the American submarine policy in the editorial columns of his
paper. He says that nothing was asked by the United States of
Germany winch was not good for humanity in genet;!, and fin
lher expresses hims.* ]4 as glad that Germany has accepted the
terms laid down by vhe United States in the latest note regarding
submarine warfare. In the same editorial, however, he accuses
Am; ri'-Mii Ambassador Gerard of expressing anti-German senti
ment- which he states, is a breach of international etiquette."

At last Ignatius Donnelly has been vinideated. and the author
of the “Cryptogram” may well arise from his grave and call Judge
Tut hills of Chicago blessed. When the talented and learned Min
nesota man proved to his own satisfaction that Shakespeare wa>
not the author of the plays and sonnets that bear his name, am
that the real author was Lord Bacon, he found the rest of the
world skeptical, and was surprised that there was no general de
mand that the many*statues to Shakespeare be torn down and
that the bust of the alleged “bard of Avon be removed from the
Poets’ Corner in Westminster abbey But this belated act of jus
tice may as well commence at once. For Judge d uthilL. in a < e
cision just rendered in an injunction suit, has held that Robeit
Bacon was the author of all the works heretofore attributed to
Shakespeare. And the learned jurist set forth at great length his
reasons for the decision. It will be in order for someone to in
quire, “But who is this Tuthills person?”

The Fairbanks News-Miner is somewhat severe on our sell
advertising governor. It says anent the statement made by the
chief executive of Alaska in Seattle recently, that 1.000 Alaskans
could whip* the entire army of Villa, the Mexican bandit, and that
they could be obtained easily in Alaska for that work: If the
governor had been drunk when he made that spiel, and the re
porter interviewing him had so stated in his paper as an excuse
for printing such rot, we could have forgiven him ; but that sober
and unnecessarily he should trip into print to stultify Alaskans
and himself proves him to be more kinds of a fool than we ever
believed lie was. * * * We are sorely afraid that the governor
ship has spojled a good printer in Governor Strong to make a poor .
and loquacious governor. He is too easily led astray by the Out- j
side paragraphers and the willingness to talk freely for publicity. |
Also, while he talks unwisely at times, he often talks too much, as j
in this particular case.” i

GUARDING CITIZENSHIP

STORY OF ALASKA MINER
AS TOLD IN WINDY CITY
The dam had burst. Until that time Vi.
I,. Cochrane hadn’t been using 1800 seal
coats for “every-day” wear, says the Chicago
Herald.
He had placered out of the sands and ;
rock on Boulder creek, fourteen miles up
from Nome, Alaska, some >30,000 to >'10,-j
000, had bought with it till the water n.dits
and claims for three mil-- along the creek,
and was still digging away trying to find
a way to get more than >111 a toil, gold,
nut of the dii t.
Then the dam burst.
It was the data built to store up water
for pressure in the big mains in placer min- j
ing. When the water swept 175 feet down :
the valley it knocked his equipment and
his carefully-dug pits to the four winds and
changed the local geography.
He we.- rather blue about it. as he stood
on the ledge of rotten quartz that had bten
uncovered.
He kicked at the quartz reflectively with
his toe- -and kicked off a big shrink of gold.
He grabbed a pan. One big shovelful of
the rotten stone gave him back from the
muddy water in the pan S3.13 in gold.
He yelled to his associates and they came
running. The ledge was followed for a
mile and the average assay, taken from
figures running from 10 cents to SO,480 a
ton, were something like S375.
Now he is back in the States looking up
old friends and letting their children cut
teeth on gold nuggets. He’s going back in
the spring with a lot of machinery and
“whoop her up,” as he describes it.
When he came out he brought a dozen
uncolored sealskins, worth S300. and had
them all put into an overcoat, which is a
startling attraction, adorning his six feet
four inches end corresponding bulk in Pea
cock alley, at the Congress hotel, where he
is staying.
