FEWER LYNCHINGS
Records compiled by the Tuskegee Institute show 10
lynchings in the United States during the year 1928,
compared with 16 for 1927, 30 for 1926, 17 for 1925, 16
for 1924, 33 for 1923 and 57 for 1922.
Though some may feel “lynch law” is the proper
manner to meet out punishment yet, it is better that a
few criminals should go free than that one innocent
should suffer torture and death at the hands of a crazed
and blood-thirsty mob acting on the impulse of the
moment.
In spite of the increase in mileage of Alaska roads
more roads are needed at every point in the Territory.
A couple of million dollars a year spread over Alaska
makes hut a small showing. No effort should he spared
in working continually for more and bigger appropria
tions. Just as fast as roads are built, so the Territory
will progress.
No one should imagine that golden nuggets can be
picked up in the mining camps and towns of Alaska but
a willing heart and sufficient funds for development will
work wonders and the nuggets will accrue.
Suggestion for 1933: Why not hold the Democratic
national convention in Houston, and thereby cinch the
Texas electoral vote?

will question this statement if they look about.

'short stay. Among her traveling

is a broad band consisting of a net
’ work of sapphires interlaced with
diamonds.
Rumors are plentiful as to the
object of her trip. It is believed
that she plans to continue on from
here direct to Rome and from
there to London and Paris. It is
probable that she intends to visit
with Prince Carol and possibly ar
rive at a reconciliation which will
place him on the throne in Ruma
nia, and she mav also be planning
to seek a loan in London.
