SI W \RD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 19*5.
The press associations are now spending much money in telegraphing
the details of three stories that almost run the gamut of the A'orst class of
sex relation. The eternal Evelyn Thaw is again before the footlights with
Harry as a sort of supporter. Mrs. Geddes admits being the “third plural
wife” of some defunct individual by the name of Eccles, whatever a third
plural might mean, and England is wrought up to a frightful pitch by the
killing of three plural wives in a bathtub.
News like that must be very popular and great press associations must
know it to be popular or why should we have it flashed all over the world.
Now, why is it popular? Why should anyone consider it more interesting
to read of three plural wives dead or alive, or of a woman whose chief claim
to fame is ill-fame, than to read of great historical events, or mighty astro
nomical events, or an\ other sort of event that has a bearing on the greater
things of existence? The fact is we are more interested in the personal be
cause we are persons ourselves. In all of the personal things we read we
see something with which we are intimate either in fact or by contrast, so to
speak. The happily married man reads and wonders why Geddes wanted his
three plurals or why the Englishman wanted to get rid of his three plurals.
The other sort of man wonders, perhaps, why Geddes wasn’t in the lunatic
asylum instead of Thaw.
Collier's Weekly recently published some letters which showed that
supporters of the British believed the publication to be pro-German while
some pro-Germans believed it to be pro-English. It is really difficult to be
absolutely neutral in appearance. No matter how careful one might be to
appear so there is sure to be some objection from one side or another. \ou
know, it is hard for any of us to hear praise uttered for one whom we know
or fully believe to be unworthy of it. and we all believe that the side we are
opposed to is wrong. But it happens very often that our beliefs and not the
enemy is at fault. There is nothing wrong about all this if we do not let
prejudice blind us entirely.
ATTORNEYS IN TANANA
PASS FORTH REMARKS.
In the case of Dr. Hall in Fairbanks,
the district attorney and the attorneys
for the defense seem to not get along
very well together. For instance the
Fairbanks News-Miner says:
At 2 o’clock T. A. Marquam com
menced the concluding argument for
the defense. During the course of his
argument, he accused District At
torney Roth of having bolstered up
the whole case and having “fixed” the
witnesses. He said that he was sur
prised that the district attorney had
not “rixedup” a better case while he j
was about it, and said that he knew
that if he (Marquam) had been doing
it, he would have done so. Although
weary from hs hard work in the case I
Mr. Marquam made an able talk to
the jury, which consumed the greater,
! part of two hours.
District Attorney Roth made the
closing argument for the government.
He threw the “dirt” back at the at
j torney for the defense, saying in sub
stance that Mr. Marquam was right
whe he said that he (Marquam) would
have fixed up a better case if he had
been doing it, as he was the best fixer
in Fairbanks. The district attorney
then declared that that was just what
he was up against in every case in
which Mr. Marquam was on the other
side.
