Reed. Mr. Mitchell's trip is tli?
first lime a prominent (lov
ernment official has visited the Ter
ntory for the specific purpose of in
quiring into ihe .Judicial Adminis
tration..
No action will he (aken in the ap
pointment ot a .Judge to the First
i ’vision until he has completed his
inquiry into the matter, according
K' Mr. Mitchell. A number of Alas
kans have been mentioned for the
posi'ion lie said.
Mr. Mitchell will also hear the
difficulties of tho other various of
fice.' of the Department which ca 1
he more easily explained personally
than by correspondence more than
3.()e0 miles from Washington, and
will attempt to determine what
remedies will be most satisfactory.—
Juneau Empire.
1 he above account wq take from
the Juneau Empire and is we think
authoritative. Mr. Mitchell passed
thru Ketchikan and no doubt got
sonic good advice from J. 0. l’arber
who escorted him to the office of
Lester D. Coro. No others got but
a passing view of the gentleman.
Vv'o are reformed that Mr. Mitchell
v ill recommend that Justin W .
Harding, present United States At
torney at Juneau, for Judge, and
Howard D. Stabler, to he promoted
to United States Attorney. We
would not he at all surprised at this
as these men are well situated with
respect lo political support as it re
la. os to Mr. Harding and to the
ion fine of the ollice as it relates to
Mr. Stabler.
We would regret to see Mr. Stab
ler promoted because he is (to use
common language!) hard boiled. He
has been so long in that office that
he considers all persons charged
with crime as guilty, and seems to
tnink that lawyers defending these
persons are accessories after the
fact. Perhaps lie will get over this,
whereupon we believe he will make
an efficient officer, and one capable
of doing justice to the people of
.A1 a slca.
