DEMAND FOR MARINE HOSPITAL
The reasons advanced by Captain Johansen, master
of the Steamer Starr, why a marine hospital, or at least
a marine medical service, should be provided at Seward,
seems to be conclusive and unanswerable.
The nearest service of that character is at Juneau
and Ketchikan. 600 miles away. A marine doctor is em
ployed at Ketchikan at a salary of $5000 a year.
But Seward is the center of a fleet of vessels number
ing at least 150, some of which are ocean vessels making
this their terminus, and in addition the great Westward
country for 1000 miles is connected with this port. It is
estimated by Captain Johansen that a total of not less
than 4000 seamen call at this port every year.
As the terminus of the Government Alaska Railroad
and the central port of shipping for all Alaska, the logic
of the situation would appear to be complete in support
of establishing a marine hospital service at this place at
the earliest possible date.
The fund to supply that need is fixed and permanent
by the accumulated contributions of all seamen under the
American flag, and their wishes have been expressed in
these parts of Alaska by their unanimous requests.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce can render valua
ble service to the hundreds of seamen in Southern Alaska
by insistently urging this matter upon Delegate Suther
land and the Washington State Senators, who should
press the marine hospital headquarters at the National
Capital for immediate and favorable action.
FAMOUS VOLCANOLOGIST
Though only in the city for a brief period this even
ing enroute to the States from the Westward where he
has been conducting scientific investigations for some
months past, in behalf of the citizens of this communty
The Gateway extends greetings to Dr. Jaggar, noted vol
canologist, and trusts that sometime in the near future
he will return and that a better acquaintance may be
formed.
IMPOTENCY OF TERRORISM
\T0 greater harm could have been done the cause of Sacco
and Vanzetti than the ill-advised acts of terrorism per
petrated in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
portions of the world. They may be taken as threats that
the judgments of American courts and of the chief execu
tive of a great State shall be set aside at the behest of a
division of society who are at variance with constitutional
or any other form of government.
After seven years duration, during which time every
loophole, every technicality and every expediency known
to American criminal procedure, has been employed, and
the Governor of Massachusetts has carefully examined
the entier case, it does not seem reasonable that a mistake
has been made. On the other hand it would appear that
it is not so much an error of justice as a matttr of princi
ple that is at stake. The lives of the two men appear to
be the lesser elements in a general attempt on the part of
the enemies of American institutions to, by acts of intimi
ation, frighten the tribunals of the nation into surrender
ing to their wish.
Paradoxical as it may seem, those who clamor to have
the verdict set aside after what has been declared to be a
fair trial, would cry loudest if the situation was reversed
and after one of their compatriots had been released by
the courts, a Governor could intercede and have them ex
ecuted.
It was to avoid any such custom, which had been in
practice in Europe when the Constitution of the United
States was adopted, that trial by a jury of one's peers was
made a part of that document. If one is not to accept
such procedure, there would be anarchy and the man
of power could work his will without hindrance.
It will be interesting to note how long the police pow
ers of America will exercise restraint before putting an
end to such acts as occurred in Eastern cities.
