CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE.

The lamentabe killing of Samuel James by Chief of Police Jolley on Friday afternoon last is something to be deplored as the shedding of human blood al ways is, or should be. The taking of human life is or should be last resort whether of the law or of man. man has perfect fight to protect himself from the assaults of another and the law will uphold him. but no man has the right to take the life of an other unless there is probable cause for him to be- iieve that his own life is at stake.
 As to the tragedy of last Friday afternoon littl. need be said a, this time. Mr. Jolley is to answer to the grand jury if he has committed crime that il. not Justitiahle; if he was not justified in his action We believe that he will receive due punishment; if he was he will be acquitted. In justice to Mir Jolley it must be said that he has been ndefa,igable in the work of preserving order in Nome under abnormal conditions. For nearly two years he filled the office of chief Of police No one can truthuy gainsay the fact that he took a pride in it. he watchful and alert, at all times ready to do his full duty towards the people Of the municipality whose preservation of peace and order had been contded to him. During the past two years Nome has had it's full quota of the toughest class in Christendom. Yet look at the crime record. That is what speaks. Since Nome became an incorporated community have not the lives and property of citizens been quite as safe they would be m any city in the unon2 We think in fact more so town is not kept orderly and poaceable without effort Someone must to it that law and order preserved. Lay off the police of Nome to- day, even after the town has assumed the garb and habits of orderness and what would follow
 We are making no defense of Mir. Jolley nor any apologies for him. We are quite willing that "ury of his peers" shall judge him and if they find that he ls guilty of a crime will endorse their verdict But in the meantime would we believe act the part of a polroon, to refuse to give credit where credit is due, especially when man is in dire ex- trsmty MT. Jolley not THE NUcGErs choice for chief of police. It opposed him fairly, honestly and openly, and he know.it But we will say that in our opinion, he discharged his duties faith fully and honestly.

a whole sermon in the text. IL scarcely needs elucidation. The real friend will tell hi. friend the truth. There is no fawning syco- phancy about that kind of friend ship. It is real, luminous, true as steel. A real friend never indulges in "hot air." and to him lying and deceilful ways are unfamiliar. Give us the friend who will tell the truth, who will in the proper spirit, point out the mistakes of life, at the same time offering the ready sympathy which is born only of true and lasting friendship.
 Speaking by and large there are probably az many true friendships in Nome, conditions and circum- stances being taken into cons:dera- ton, as th.re are elsewhere. Ar least we hope so.

A MATTER OF FRIENDSHIP"

citizen of Nome recently received letter from former resident of this town, but who called to the outside in the fall of 1901 by mandate of the circuit court ofappeas for the ninth circuit He never returned. sentence from the letter however, is worthy of comment, for the writer had occasion to remark, "aow fragile and heeting is the bond of friendship in Nome!" But he might have made general and not a special application. The apoth- eoss of friendship is not reached in Nome or is it elsewhere except in cases. Occasionally even in these u,ilitaran, selfish, sordd times you may find real modern Damon and Pythias But taking the world d whole-Nome included-resl true and lasting friendships seem 10 be rare. Is it the fault ot the people or their environment, both? One hundred years ago the necessity of battling for exist cnce was not so great as today in economic sense and perhaps men had more time to cultivate friend ship and SOW the seed. Yet orc of the sages of the past century wrote: "A rare thing IS faith and friend ship is jewel among men, precious as the stores of the mind"
 The fact of the matter is that we are living on the high pressure plan, and we do not take the time to cultivate either friendships or acquaintances The modern human frmily is encrused with indurated selfishness. We always in hurry and if we are not in hurry are indifferent to everything else except our aims and desires and that which closely affects us. To everything else we present an apathetic side. If it is the other fellows funeral that care we?
 Of course we arc speaking generally. Specifically we can point to hundreds of instances which prove that mankind not all selfish and that friendship to some is better than silver gold. It would be pity indeed if this were not go.
 The true test of friendship is sympathy and aid, needed, in time of sorrow, troubl. or distress man. through his own rashness, or in some other way, advehttious otherwise, is guilty of wrong doing, and how quickly do his flair weather friends desert him, and join with his enemies. and the in- different to denouncc him. It doesn't make much difference, however. either to him or anybody clse Friendship is to be desired among all men; man must lead a very lonely, miserable, unsatisfed life without friends. and yet some has said save me from my friends" But the friends from whom he desired to be saved, were alleged and not real.
