The Stacey Case.

InaSmuch as the stracey case. de-
cided against the government by a fed
eral Judge in Washington, rests upon
technicality there is reasonable
ground for hoping that the govern
ment may not, after all, lose title to
what is regarded as the most valuable
coal land in Alaska. Stracey, an Eng
lishman, and others were indicted in
the state of Washington. on the charge
of illegally selling this land and the
federal court there quashed the indict-
ments on the theory that they did not
properly state an offense, which then
went to the United States supreme
court.
II that technically is the best
ground on which the straeey syndicate
has to stand, then certainly there is
no need for the government to despair
as yet. The Judge who rendered the
original decision says he. did so be-
cause under his Interpretation OF the
Alaska coal land law. the indictment
had not stated an offense." OF course,
then, it is for the ultimate tribunal to
interpret this law. II seems only nat
ural that if a more substantial flaw in
the charge existed than this fragile
technically. the washington Judge
would have found it.
Associated with Algernon Stracey,
the British capitalist, are prominent
men of Seattle and if they should win
in this case they have, It is admitted,
secured control of about 5000 acres
of valuable coal land. II Is time we
were taking whatever steps are pos
sible to see that no more of this
Alaska territory slips out of our hands
except for full value In exchange.

Foreigners in Mexico

The move of the diplomats in Mex
leo to protect the homes and persons
of foreign residents in the capital
should not be subject to criticism on
the ground that 1t is a step toward a
larger movement to fortlfy the extern
siye property interests of Americans
and other outsiders in the republic Of
Mexico. In fact. the Spanish minister
has taken occasion to explain that 1t
seeks simply what 1t purports on it's
face-the protection of life and homes
in Mexico City.
The action was initiated by our own
Ambassador Wilson and has every ele-
ment of common sense and wisdom to
commend it. 1t Is forced upon the
foreign representatives in the bellig-
erent country by present. and possibly
future, conditions. II would be folly
to leave unprotected the lives and
homes Of $4,000 foreigners there,
5000 of whom are Americans. That
the action has been approved by the
Mexican government as wise and
necessary should commend It abroad
and allay any sensitiveness AZ to ita
possible effect for further eomplicas
lions.
No man can yet tell what the result
Is to be between the coAtending forces
in Mexico, and, while Intervention is
to be avoided and deprecated, It is'not
an impossible contingency.

Rattledore and shuttlecoOk.

Nearly ayear ago an ordinance fix-
ing a midnight closing hour for pool
halls was presented in the city council
at the urgent demand of The Bee, but
was quietly smothered and laid away
on the shelf because the pool hall pro-
prietors did not want it.
Two months ago the need of pool
hall regulation again became acute
when the community was startled by
the murder Of prominent business
man, aud the hounds put on the trail
led the pursuers into a crowded pool
hall doing an active business at half
past o'clock Sunday morning.
The regulation ordinance was res
directed. but the pull Of the pool hall
Iproprietors has been suficiently potent
with the councilman to have prevented
action so far.
BY clever maneuvsrlng between Or
dinances and substitute ordinances,
reference to committee and repeated
postponements the game OF hattledors
and shuttlecock has gone on, while the
pool halls have been permitted to run
unmolested.
It seems to US that the city council
should wake up to the fact that the
patience of the people in this matter
is about exhausted. The demand IL
for a strict regulation OF the pool hall.
Let the council pass an ordinance that
regulates, or let It vote the ordinance
down as 1t did before without foolinG
away any more time.

The New York Press publishes the

these points:
First.-That the change read in

i M5fI,-Aht6 Justice While al
ways Was an nemy Of the Sherman
law anI any change he would wish
Ito make in it would be sure to weak
en- 1t, His Talk about the rule oi
reason is declared to be Mera obiter
dicta, like Chief Justice Tansy's dec
lasation in the bred Scott decision
that negroes have no rights which
white men are bound to respect"
lust as Lincoln and many others
challenged that opinion. SO MIR. Walk
er, while respecting the DEGREES of
the supreme tribunal, feels entirely
free to make vigorous protest when
it INDUCES in obiter dieta such as
Justice Whites pronouncement of
the rule Of reason"
A number OF newspapers have
suggested that the decision in the oil
case is a blessing because it has yir-
tually annulled the Sherman law.
They argue that it is impossible to
prevent combinations for the reason
that they are a logical and inevitable
economic development. They sug-
gest that an incorporation law be
adopted, for the purpose Of regulat-
ing the monopolies. But will not all
the questions run back to the very
one passed upon by Justice White?
If the supreme court proposes to al
low trusts to engage in a certain
amount of restraint of trade, how
can publicity change that rule of
judgment? Has any one had any
reason to doubt for many years the
ruthless methods of the oil mono
poly? And yet it is in this very case
that the rule of reason" is pro-
nounced.
We are yet of the opinion that
only the socialists and the monopo-
lies can derive comfort from the SUI
preme courts opinion in the Stan
dard Oil case.

A contract was, closed. this morn
ing by Rev. Henry Snyder, pastor OF
the Presbyterian church with Moore
Bond & Co., of Chicago, the largest
headquarters in the country of
stereoptican slides, for a series of
illustrated lectures to be given at in
tervals of two or three weeks

A number of these lectures will be
illustrated by views taken by the IA
nous Underwood and Underwood

will be a rare opportunity for the
people of Mitchell to become ac-
quainted, through the medium of
pictures, with many strange customs
and countries.

illustrate the "Patriarchal times" of
the race and will show the primitive
methods of that day.
No admission will be charged at
any of the Sunday evening services
but an Offering will be received to
aid in %defraying the expenses.
