WHERE THE DANGER LIES
Possibly no element in connection with law enforce
ment has had a more baleful effect than the discovery
that many men set to stand guardian over the lives, shat
tels and moral conduct of the nation have been found j
“trailing with the hounds and running with the hare.”
It is difficult to convince the man in the street, prone
to lapses of conduct, that he’s guilty of wrongdoing when
he can point you to those very custodians and executives
of the law, fortified by the safety which their positions
accord them, indulging the same conduct.
Nothing goes further to curb the passions of the law
breaker than evidence of the fact that he is receiving a
fair deal at the hands of those set to thwart him.
It is only when he discovers that there is “fish” for
one and “fowl” for the other when he faces the bar of j
justice that he forms the conclusion that the law he is
supposed to have broken is a mere matter of opinion and
there is no moral offense involved.
This in turn has led to almost a complete breakdown
in respect and confidence in our institutions, and ac
counts for the repeated instances where juries free men,
actually and morally guilty of vicious offenses, because
of this knowledge that all is not light in the machinery
of the law.
Unfortunately Alaska has suffered much from this
condition due to the fact that not sufficient discrimina
tion has been used in selecting men for law enforcement,
as has been recently manifested when men charged with
similar offenses have been dealt with in different ways, j
One is compelled to face grand juries and district courts j
on minor offenses, while those whose offense assumes a I
dual nature because of embodying both the law infraction I
and abuse of public confidence, have been permitted to
escape with a minimum of penalty.
One of the first steps the Department of Justice
should take is the reorganization of the law enforcement
machinery of the Territory with a view to eliminating this
baleful condition. If we are to re-establish our institutions
and restore confidence, we must have men in official po
sitions who serve blindly and without favoritism.

HEROES ARE MADE
The movie director was explaining the scene to his
assistant:
“Now you lay down over there,” he said to Sambo,!
making his debate in movies.
“Now, you open the gate and the lion comes in and,
licks molasses from the black boy’s feet, and-”
“Lissen, white folkses: which lion gwine lick whut
'lasses off whose foots when9 You ain’t talkin’ to me.”
The next time General Pershing visits France he can
pause at the statute of Lafayette and say: “Lafayette, I
am here to tell you how it feels to be a sucker.”
California demands that a man must have 10 years
practice before the bar before being eligible to sit as a
judge. But lookit, the 18th amendment has not been re
pealed yet.
Possibly the continued warm spell is merely the hot
air flowing out of France.

AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Enbcrg Stunsen, ageS 65, a native
of Norway, died Thursday from
cancer. He had been under treat
ment for the last two months. Mr.
Stunsen, well-known Unga fisher
man, underwent treatment for the
malady a year ago but little could
de done for him.
It is believed that a niece, his j
only known relative, survives him i
at Brooklyn and efforts are being
made to get In touch with her. To
many, Mr. Stunsen was familiarly'
j known as “Klondike Dick”, having i
been engaged in mining in the Yu
kon Territory during the stampede
days.
Interment in the Seward ceme
tery will probably be made Satur- j
day afternoon following services at J
the funeral parlor at 3 o’clock.
