Alaska sentinel., 1909-01-28

Portland, happily for herself, and the northwest, has set pace h the administration of justice that will serve most excellent ends. The eighteen hours devoted to the de- detection, trial and sentencing of Schwartz and Miller, the train rob- bers, and the speedy disposition of the Finch murder case, will inspire a respect for the law there that has not been felt for many day, and the effect throughout the state and the whole northwest will be mani fest. It is not that the people want the duless or blood of any man living but that they demand the execution of the law in cases so ut terly within it as these. EveIy man dreads the law; but when he begins to laugh at it, it is time to invoke it's potency and make it un
 derstood. This has been done at Portland quickly, honestly and thoroughly; just where it should be done. in view of the remarkable failure of the law to do anything there for e long time in the way of puni8hing criminals Everybody is glad of this exposition and com- mendc it, while cherishing the hope that it will be followed up to the betterment term nt.r oif existing conditions all along the line.

UPER.SENSITIvE SOULS

mere arej Tn Wrangell, as Tn other communities, men who are representative about newspaper comment. They are always glad of the friendly paragraph or story in which they figure, however much they may by way of mock modesty, deprecate the public mention they are rarely averse to the pleasant note and comment in which they md theirs are pataded in kindly fashion, and there have been in stances of real gratitude, felt and expressed, for the saving grace of the public prints when some of the graver episodes of life have con- frohted them. But, once hale a man within the range of newspaper criticism, direct or implied, and he grows yenomous with hate and in- coherent with rage at the liberty taken with his name or relation to the matter under review.
 It is one of the farces of life, and the newspaperman has grim ap- preciation of it that verges near the mark of contempt when he scans his general treatment of men and finds them go helplessly and hope iessly childish. For be it known. that ih all the relations a paper assumes with its reading patron age, the personal equation is the one most teligiou6ly observed at all times; mistakes will often oc- cur but in the main they are caught on the long line of careful scrutiny that pervades a newspa- per office and before they are ut tered in cold black and white. There is justification of sone kind 
 behind every personal mention and allusion in a responsible newspa- per. This must be remembered at all times, in justice to the public, the person and the paper.
 :. There is one way of auppreasing the super sensitive soul who can pot stand the counter-point of jour palistic animadversion, and that is to bar all mention of him under any and all circumstances this is .a cruelty seldom resorted to, but always available; and often as editors and reporters are tempted to use it. they as often refuse to probe or fatter the vanity that has brought the individual under such contemplation. In tie absorbing processes and High duties of g news paper, it rarely stoops to the pitt ,ful alternative, choosing the more pleasant task Of forgetting.
