THE LIFE THAT DOES NOT PAY
(News-Miner)

(News-Miner)
Suffering from attempt at suicide.
young American woman lying on a
cot in a London hospital gave as
her reason for the rash act that
life doesn't pay" and yet but a
few years ago she ran away from
home because she wanted to see
life" In the interval between the
elopment and attempted suicide, She
had had her wish gratified. She had
seen all that the underworld had 70
give her. and for a time she reveled
in its pleasures. Wine, excitement
and fast companions ministered to
her morbid tastes. And then came
the inevitable result-the realization
that such a life doesn't pay" that
there is only one end to it,"

FROM THE STATE PRESS
THE THIRD DEGREE"

AT last Senator Hepburn has un-
dertaken something better than

ing sectional ill-feeling He has in

calling for an investigation Of the
third degree" methods of the police.
the most glaring disgrace to the sys-
tenn Of justice in the United States
Little is known by the general public
regarding this practice, but every
newspaper man, whose business touch
with the police, is familiar with it,.
The system, in brief. is to take an
accused man or woman and by per-
sonal violence or threats of violence,
to terrify him or her into "confes-
sion" Time and again confessions"
OF this sort have been secured from
innocent persons. and many undoub-
tedly have been convicted and pun
isbed by this means for crimes Of
which they were not guilty. The
practice arises from the desire of the
police to secure convictions, and thus
win credit for good work from the
people they serve. It has grown to
she dimensions it now has reached
through the ignorance and indiffer-
ence of the people. But it is a prac-
tIce that is totally against the spirit
OF American law and it should be
vigorously suppressed.

Election

Next Tuesday is election day. The people of Douglas Island are not so much interested as they might be, yet they will do their duty conscienciously and we'll. With some the question is yet unanswered. "Who shall l vote for?"
 Three candidates are asking to be sent to congress to represent the varied Interests of Alaska. Which one can best represent the interests of Douglas Island?
 Is it Wm. O'Connor, who is the nom- inee of organized labor in the Tanana country? He is said to be man of some natural ability, who looks on shings from rather pessimistic stand point. From the best information we can get of him, he believes that almost everything in this world and the next needs fxing. Whether be is conceited enough to believe that he has remedy for all these ills we cannot say.
 Is it James Wickersham, the present delegate? As far as Douglas Island is concerned, he has done little during his two years tenure of office to. merit support, but on the contrary has voiced the reports of those who rejoice in our calamity. In bis statements before the committees of congress he has sought only to give the one great industry of Douglas Island a black eye. He has openly credited bis information to the Douglas branch of the Western Feeder ation of Miners, an organization of which only the running gears remain.
 Is it Ed s. Orr, the man who was nominated by the Douglas convention. His claim for preferment is not based on bis gift of gab, but rather on his record a. business man. It does not appear that he represents any particu- lar faction, in fact, he may justly be called the "peace candidate" The fact Shat he has been called mule skinner" will not hurt his chances Asrs. Ana cbsD his bitterest opponents have not said be is dishonest.

gmmense Crowd Enjoys the Beauties of the New Acquisition for the First Time-Subscriptions Still Coming gu-Future Plans

By change in the program, the regu- Tar monthly meeting of the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department was held last Saturday night on Mayhower Isl and instead of in Fraternal hall. MT. Ed. Webster, who is building the new city dock and tho approach to May flower island promised that he would have the approach so far completed by Saturday night that the impatient pub lie could cross. So the fire department meeting was changed into public jubilee celebrating the formal opening of the new pleasure park.
 The roadway, or we might call it a pathway, to the island as it appeared Saturday evening was rather frail looking affair, and the climb to the summit was only accomplished with the aid of a ladder. Yet in spite of this a thousand people visited May flower island Saturday evening.

When the crowds began to arrive the little island pre- ssnted an attractive appearance. Its virgin soil was covered with a mass of beautiful flowers, which were quickly appropriated and made into huge bo- auets. Some of the men wore punches of salmon berries on their breasts. The Treadwell Club band played patriotic airs, camp fire spluttered and big pot of weiners filled the air with fra grance as they boiled. Two large American flags were unfurled, and Oliver Olson climbed to the top of a stately old tree and fastened one of them to it's topmost branch.
 It was jolly crowd; good-natured, happy and kind-as splendid example of that neighborly feeling that makes Douglas Island unit on all matters of Vsblic interest. An instance of the

kindly feeling was shown by the young men who stood at the side of the steep ladder and patiently helped the women and children climb up and down in safety. We do not know their names, but they were very kind.
 And so Mayfower island, which has for so many years wasted "its sweetness on the desert air" was appropriated and dedicated as a pleasure giving spot for the people of Douglas Island. The work of completing the approach to the island will be continued as rapidly as possible. The plans include gravel path that will completely encircle the island. Ia the lee of the island float will be placed, affording a convenient and safe anchorage at all times for small boats. The pagoda, which will occupy position in the center of the island, will probably be octagonal, each side being fitted with glass windows.
 Without any solicitation on the part of the committee numb Der of subscrip- tions are still coming in.

Near-Beer Saloons May

Supreme Court Decides That one

Dublin, Ca, July 1.-THE supreme

the right to have a near-beer saloon
abated as a nuisance.
The decision was rendered in a
case sent up from Laurens. Frank
R. Radford, Dublin near-bee dealer,
was restrained by Judge John II.
Martin on a petition or allegation
signed by three citizens of Dublin
They alleged that he was selling in
toxicating drinks and that his place
of business was a nuisance.
Judge Martin temporarily restrain
ed Radford and then made the re-
straining order permanent. The case
was appealed and now comes a de-
cision affirming the decision affirm

Radford was restrained from doing
business in the state of Georgia as a
