High Crime in the United States" :"
He said: 4 ~
'''The number of homicides that are
punished by-lynching exceeds those
punished by due process of law. When
we consider that out of every forty-six
homicides committed in the United
States only one in forty-five is legally
punished it is no wonder that people
look somewhere else for the solution.
{ There is nothing more nonsensical
Or ridiculous than the goody-goody
talk about lynching Much may be
said in favor of the quotation of the
famous SEnglishman, Goldwin Smith,
There are some communities in the
United States in which their lynch

WHY TEARS WERE JUSTIFIED

Commenting upon the report that Gov. Swineford shed tears when the committee on territories of the national house of representatives turned down the bill granting Alaska territorial goYsrnment, the Fairbanks News says they were justified because Alaska IS being betrayed by nonresident pre- tenders who go down to Washington and say the district is not ready for sslt-goverument, grossly misrepresent- ing there the attitude, desires and capa- cities of real Alasksns. It might have added that tears were justified also because these nonresident speculstors, who see in Alaska choice morsel for their exploitation, have few Hessian hirelings in the north, conducting newspapers which have the brazen eHrontery to say that these pretendSrs truly represent the people of the north, aud thus give the appearance of the color of truth to their misrepresenta' tious and sn excuse to the Aldrjchs, Platts, Depews, Lodges and-yea, and Nelsons-to obey foreign corporations and to deny to Americans their Amert- can rights.
 To quote the Fairbanks News:
 "sut no one can say that ex-GoTernor Swineford, knowing what he knows as to the struggles for recognition Of Alaska and the strifes that have hind cred 1t had not cause for tears. It is true that but for the shortsightedness of many who go doUn to Washington, or the personal interests that would deny the true Alaskan the privilege Of managing his own affairs much greater progress might have been made. =
 ''It is not the Alaskan, the true Alas kan, who desires and intends to link bis future with the great north, who de- clares the district is not prepared to manage its affairs politically. It is the man who merely has interests here, who spends few months of the sum- msr in Alaska and the balance of the year outside and who votes out there and who does not intend, in any case, to forfeit his franchise out there.
 Very sagely he delares the district is tnos ready
 That the real people of Alaska Of whom ex-GovernOr Swinetord is dis tinguished individual, should thus be hlndered in their fight for their plain rights by non-residents, outsiders, IS certainly justification for tears"

 Did you ever see any one trying to wash themselves without soap or water?
 If you did what would you say of him?
 It Is every bit as foolish to try to get rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald ness by feeding the germs which cause it, with Canthrarides, Vasellne, Glycer- inc and similar substances which form the principal ingredients of most so- called Hair Vigors.
 Newbro's HerpicIde is successful be- ,ause It attacks and kills the parasitic yerm which feeds on the hair roots. It Is the original and only genuine scalp germicide manufactured.

SOLANO' CAPTAIN
MAKES DEFENSE
Says He Was Too Busy
With Boat to Note Condi-
tion of Pullman Vestibule
ONE DOOR FASTENED

United States Local Inspectors Bolles
and Bulger took testimony yesterday
with reference to the complaint made
by Secretary Metcalf that the ferry
steamer Solano ahd carried a Pullman
train across the straits of Carquinez
with the vestibule of the dining car
closed, in violation of the law requiring
vestibules of cars to be open while
crossing over water.
CAPTAIN Wright, master of the Solano,
testified that as master and pilot Of the
ferry steamer he had his hands full in
navigating his ship without being re-
quired to regulate the Pullman Palace
Car Company After having been in
formed of the charge made against him
by the distinguished secretary of the
Department of Commerce and Labor he
had made an investigation and learned
that the rear door of the Pullman
kitchen was screwed tight, so that it
was not possible TO open ii without the
use of force and violence in the shape
of a sledgehammer or a screwdriyer.
He said further that the closing of
this particular door did not by any
means jeopardize the safety of passen-
gers in the dining car, because they
could find exit through another door.
Inspector Bulger remarked that he
did not think Secretary Metcalf would
have made such an accusation unless
it was founded upon facts. If the
truth of the charge were denied. he
would secure from Secretary Metcalf
an affidavit in support of the accusa-
ton, he said, the Secretary having wit
messed the breach of the law.
The investigation was postponed
without date in order to obtain the
testimony of another witness
