United States Supreme Court Two
Years Behind Its Docket

Richmond Times-Dispatch.l
When the United States Supreme
Court began its sessions last fall its
docket contained about LOO cases.
Now it has finished its deliberations
for the year, and but SO cases have
been disposed of, although the
judges were unusually diligent. The
Court is two years behind it's docket
There is no relief for this condition
in sight, and the situation is grad
ually becoming aggravated.
In 1889 at the organization of the
court, it had but six members. Now,
after the passing Of a century and a
quarter, it is larger by only a half.
although the nation has develop ire
mendously, and We have become a
litigious people. Since 1898 the
court has heard appeal cases from
the Philippines and Porto Rico as an
additional burden on the docket.
1.-The chief cause of the accumulation
is the American trait which impels
a litigant to fight to the last ditch, y
SAYS the Boston Globe.
In 1891 the Circuit Court of APP
peals was created for the purpose of
relieving the congestion, but the re-
lief was only temporary. It is mani
fest that the Supreme Court ought to
more prompt in handing down it's de-
cisions, but it is a physical impossi-

hundred per cent, then the x. C. Co. would be in a position to not only compete against the outside compe- tition, but make one hundred per cent. clear profit out of those who were compelled to buy and use the article. In such a case the man ufacturer would collect one hun drtd per cent. that it did not earn. and through a system of taxation hat would not fall upon the proper ". but upon the consumer But to carry the argument home. suppose hat the N. C. Co., could and did manufacture these articles at such T lower cost that they could ar did ship them outside and sell them
 here in competition with the out side manufacturers, and would have I tariff of fifty per cent here that would enable them to collect from the home consumer fifty per cent more than they sold the same arti- cle for to the consumer of the states. How would such a scheme stand the test of reason on the part of our citizens except the \. C. Co.,? This is a consideration of only two articles, and to complete the con- parison, imagine the iniquity if the tariff were placed upon every article of food, clothing. tools. machinery and utensils of every description, so that every manufacturer and producer would be permitted to force these fictitious and unnatural prices upon the consumer. what would become If the consumer here. and what would he have to say about cleo tion time?

editorial in which the editor tried to excuse his knocking" of the Panama Alaska Mine proposition.
 Apparently trying to convey the impression that the editor of the News Miner was an old timer in this camp. and that the Citizen editor had not been here long enough to become acquainted with conditions. he states that whether capital is to be encouraged into the country or not is dependent on the point of view" In regard to Hughes stalk ing he asserts that at the time this was done there was an idea prevalent that the Tatlanika coun try was rich in mineral" Now. as the Citizen editor reached Fair banks just three months later than did the News Miner editor, and struck north of 53 just five years sooner. or in 1893. it is hardly fair to assume that the NewsMiner edi- loi d Nti oSbNN' on the point of view" from which these matters are judged by North erners than has the editor of the Citizen.
 And to the editor of the Citizen comes no recollection of the fact that in 1906 there was any big stam- pede on to the Tatlanika, or that Hughes stalking was witnessed with any violent degree of indignation. The News Miner editor knows this as well as any one else, but, as in the many other instances where baseless assertions suit his purpose better than the truth. he has no hesitation in resorting to the former.
 But if the News Miner will only continue consistent in it's course it is probable no great harm will be done The danger lies in the possi- bility of it by accident or other wise boosting some laudable project and thereby damning it.

DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.

Al a meeting held several weeks ago by the directors of the Fair banks Quartz Development company il was decided to call for bids from the various quartz claim owners. These propositions were to be sub mitted by February 10, and in each of the papers an announcement was made to this effect At the begin ming of last week the Times pub lished misleading article to the effect that the bids were to be opened on the 18th, and, in spite of the error being called to their at tention. the same bull was repeated in the News, which. of course. lifted the article bodily from the Times. As a consequence there has been occasiCned another delay of 10 days.
 The primary object of the Devel- opment Company was to get QUICK ACTION on one of the quartz prop critics. to the end that it could be ilttt T llIIltu dl olINt II lIt Nudi lI veins here had continuing depth.
 There has been practically noth- ing done during the past couple of weeks in the way of canvassing for subscriptions. because, so we are informed, some members of the board believe it advisable to await the arrival of Captain Barnette. This mode of procedure strikes the Citizen as being ill advised It seems less Barnette "comes through" the development scheme must die a nat ural death, whereas this paper de- clnes to believe that any such condition exists. Surely the citizens of Fairbanks and the creeks, having put their hands willingly to so con- mendable task, are not going to be turned aside before their pur- pose is accomplished because it ap- pears hard to raise the remaining few thousand dollars necessary be- fore work can be started
 The meeting of the board of direc- tors which was held on Saturday was postponed until a week from today. and it is hoped that at that meeting some definite action will be taken. Delay is the one thing to be avoided if the object of the company is to be accomplished. If action cannot be taken because of insufficient funds let another stock holders meeting be called at once, either to devise ways and means of getting the necessary balance or to arrive at an arrangement to proceed to work with a smaller sum than at first was considered neces- sary. There can be nothing gain ed by procrastination and there is everything to lose. Strike while the iron is hot

MINING INSPECTION LAW.

On Thursday morning the Times published a communication in which James P. Collins asked to be in formed whether there was on the statute books a law providing for the appointment of a mining inspec- tor in Alaska. To this query the Times replied as follows:
 Insofar as the Times has been able to learn, there at present is no mine inspection law applicable to Alaska, and consequently no mine inspectors.
 It is understood a measure was introduced at the last session of congress providing for the inspec- tion of Alaska mines, but the bill has never passed. An effort was also made to have the general law covering mining inspection extended to this territory, but so far the matter has not been acted upon.
 Although this paper does not wish to undertake the Herculean task of correcting all of the Twins mis- takes it believes in the public inter- est that such erroneous information as this should not go unchallenged. If the slightest effort had been made by the Times editor to get correct information on the subject he could very easily have done so. The matter of the mine inspection law was thoroughly threshed out during the recent delegate election, and during the joint debate in the roller ring both of the participants went at length into the subject, Wickersham claiming that he had been instrumental in having the law passed, and Shackleford asserting that the governor was the man who deserved the credit.
 The bill drafted especially to ere ate the position of mining inspector for Alaska did not get through the house at the last session, but the matter was thoroughly covered in the appropriation bill which was passed The section providing for two mining inspectors for Alaska reads as follows:

A CONSISTENT kNOCkER.

Since the editor of the News-Min- CT broke into the newspaper field of Fairbanks he has apparently deemed his duty to be synonymous with that of the ornate contrivance which sometimes, even nowadays, is attached to the outside of door, It is only by being charitable to this extent that we can account for his persistent knocking of every proposition that has ever been ad- vanced for the general welfare of the camp.
 Not satisfied with withholding what little support his paper could give to meritorious cause he has, times without number, gone out of his way to knock. He has carried this policy to such an ex- tent that for couple of years past the success of any project has not been assured until it has been con- demned by the News-Miner.
 Lacking the initiative to promote anything of more import than a society," circus, or bridge tour nament, he has continuously played the role of dog in the manager, and tried to retard movements for the public welfare that have been start ed by other people or newspapers.
 Taken to task for such action he resorts through the columns of his paper to foundationless assertions which can deceive only the new corners to the camp. An instance of this was contained in the News of Monday last, in a shame-faced
