SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1916.
A most remarkable case has just been ended in Fairbanks where two
men who had been adjudged insane by Commissioners courts have been re
leased by Judge Bunnell on habeas corpus proceedings. Either case was
so unusual that the judge was unable to find laws covering the matter, and
he admitted that he was not clear on the question, but the most extraordinary |
thing about it is that two such cases should come at once.
A peculiar lesson is to be learned from one of those tw*o lunacy cases.
One of the nun adjudgel insane was released on the ground that he had
< nly been drinking. He was one of those sort of men who cannot drink
without going half crazy. There are two distinct sorts of drinkers. There
are those who can drink even to excess at times and who can pull up when
they near the danger point, and there are those who cannot drink without run
ning the danger of committing slow suicide. There are men who can cele
brate once in a while and feel in the best of humor aft^nvards and there are
those who cannot celebrate without feeling like the damned. The latter class
of people are the ones who run the danger of going enuy. They should cut
their right hands off before raising the first glass. Every time a man like
that takes a drink he is stepping on to the crumbling verge of an awful
abyss.
In almost every camp you will find men who have just made a little
money and who art' overcome by a burning desire to have a newspaper.
With the inevitable innocence of men who have given their lives to making
money they are perfectly convinced that they can outstrip all other competi
tors in the newspaper field. In Nome, Fairbanks and every other camp they
have jumped in with absolute confidence and have jumped out beautifully
plucked. If a man of means is intelligent he knows the difficulties that be
set every other sort of business but the man who grabs a little money and
has emptiness in his upper works is unable to discern those difficulties unless
he gets a personal acquaintance with them. It is the old story of fools jump
ing in where angels fear to tread.
