Cali A Grand Jup^
It is said thatpo grand juiy is
to be called here in pajrhffl}<s
‘his Fall. If this is true, it meant
;at all those persons accused o
time and held !o the gr^n.d jure
i.l have to wait for triai an in
'(’finite length of time—three
months, six months, maybe i
We believe that «x<r eonstuu
; n provides that all those apeu
u d of crime shall be entitle d t>
t. speedy trial. There are no i‘s
nor buts, nor provisos about i(.
Matters of expense or conven
i°nce, or other things that
may be considered valid reasons
for not calling a grand jury,
etch ns there n.ot being sufficient
business to makp it worth while1
.etc., are not taken into consjdp^
tion at all, but a speedy trjai
cr the speediest possible under
ll e circumstances, at least—is
guaranteed. Seme of those now
confined in the feclpra! jail.bound
over to the grand jury, have
been lying there for almost a
year. Others are out on bail, but j
are nevertheless entitled to and j
no doubt desire a speedy trial.!
There may not be as large a mini ■
her awaiting trial as in former1
years, but if there were only one,
it would be reason enough to call
a grand jury to piss upon the
case.
So far aa we can see there ip
no reason why a grand jury
should not be 'empaneled without
lelay,and it ought to be done.
Otherwise these accused persons
will be deprived of rights ggaran
teed by the cqnstitution qf the
United States.
Go After
Gpvepnmeirit Bridge1
Afayor Smith hit the right
t,ack wher* h^ suggested at a
meeting of the council a week a
go. that the council andppmmer- j
jial club get together ar.d see I
what could be cone towards per 1
I
s’.iading the government to build
i bridge across the river at Fair
hanks. If the matter had beer
gope : t years ago in this waj
and persistently followed up/
‘here is little doubt but there
would be a government bridge at
Fairbanks now. Of course the
natter has been agitated more
or less during the past years,,
but it seems that Delegate Wick
•-rsham and Colonel Richardson
have been too much depended on,
when it is well known that the
personal animosity and the jea
lousy existing betwepq these
two, are largely responsible for
the government not building the
bridge. Probably an appropria
tion will have to come through
Delegate YVickersham or Colon,el
Richardson anyway, but they
■a ill have to he made ashamed of
themselves and induced to rise!
above their pettiness and work
together lor once*, by the united
and insistent demand of the peo
ple of this community, in order
to secure it.

In Europe.
It seems If any reliance can be
placed upoo the dispatches that
come from Europe, that so f?r as
sane men are concerned thej
have alnjosjt disappeared.
There seems to be no exception
pot even the Socialists have es:
caped the cqptagion. We hope
that this >s npt true, for the So;
cialjst movement is more necessa
ry to humanity today than at any
jtitne in the history of the world.
Insane nationalism, ignorant
race prejudice, superstitious de
votion to divine right, seems to
dominate everywhere. Masses of
humanity are being hurled a
gainst each other ami in their
frenzy they slaughter anu maim
each other

against each other are there a
