In his charge to the grand jury
last October, Judge Wickers ham
showed his extensive knowledge of
the law and of the people when he
instructed to allow municipalities
to- look after the petty offenses com
mitted within the incorporated
limits of the towns. His address
m part to- that effect was a» follows:
uIt has always been the policy
of the United. States to- encourage
and aid her citizens residing in the
territories im their efforts to-estab
•stablish local- self government. *
ki 1899, acting in place of a terri
torial legislature, congress enacted
a penal code fox Alaska, and in
1900 a civil code. The latter
made special provision for local
self government in all permanent
communities in Alaska having a
population of more than 300 in
habitants. by the organization
thereof into a town and school dis
trict with certain specified powers
and duties. At the last session of
congress- this aat was amended,
greatly enlarging the powers of
towns and giving them and the
school districts included therein
all of the license fees paid by the
inhabitants thereof. It also em
powered towns-to elect a local po
lice magistrate,. to declare
what offenses- should be pun
ishable as misdemeanors and. to
provide a penalty therefor, by fine
aot exoeediug 200 dollars, ox im
prisonment in the local jail aot
exceeding ninety da>y»ror both eueh
fine os imprisonment.”1
“ You should not therefore bur
den this court with indictments for
these minor offenses committed
within- the town of Valdes,, whioh
the town- may , by ordinance- passed
by the town council, lawfully pun
ish in-the police count; but you
should1 leave the-punishment there*
ok to be inflicted by the local court
and local officers under the laws
passed by the town legislature."
Congress at its last session pass
ed a bill, introduced by Senator
ffelson, entitled “An Act to Am
mend and Codify the Laws Relat
ing to Municipal Corporations in
the District of Alaska." section 4 of
which states “'That the said com
mon' council shall have and exer
cise-the following powers;"
“Section IO> To- prohibit drunk
enness, gambling houses oc places
si illlfanw, disorderly cenduot, ox
endangering tbs public peace, pub
80 health, oc public safety, to de
ias-sueh. offenses, and to prescribe
Its punishment thereof.**
it wm thus he seen that congress*
las fully justified the stand taken
ly Judge Wickersliam.
As still fustier proof of the ad
visability of allowing municipali
ties- to* manage theis own affaire,
Jhdge Brown, of the First district,
after making life a burden to the
people of the district for several
years past in contesting their lo
4a 1 self-government, has finally
decided in future to keep his hands
off.
In Nome they are having a lit
tle bell of its own through judicial
interference in local affairs.
There are in Valdes a mam,
bunch of disgruntled people who
think they have a kick coming
against Judge Wickersham, because
he was broad-minded enough not
to mix up in our petty affairs.
While we have no policemen for
these people to tell their troubles
to, they will find in going over the
law that the city council will do
instead, and that body is vested
with full power to act. If their
methods do not suit, then let the
dissatisfied ones make it an issue
at the next election, and like good
citizens abide by the decision of the
majority, but for goodness sake
don’t put the blame where it don’t
belong.
General G re fly, one of Alaskas
best ami most energetic friends, in
the course of a speech before the
Alaska club at Seattle a short time
since was asked by a member his
opinion as to the feasibility of
building a railroad from Valdez to
the interior and replied as follows:
*If the government could be in
duced to subscribe half a million
dollars as a subsidy towards the
constnuction of the road I am cer
tain. that it could be completed, or
if the government gave an oqual
subsidy to any other prospective
roads I believe that the people
would rise the occasion and build
the roods themselves. All that is
now necessary is sufliicient money
to get the thing going.
It would be well for Brigadier
General Funston to consider well
before recommending a system of
military police fqr Alaska. It
may be all right in British territory
where they have always been ac
customed to> martial rule, but it
don’t go in United States territory,
where the soldier and citizen al
ways live in peace by living apart.
