WILL SUPPORT THE REPORT

While in Cordova on Saturday
night Delegate Wickersham stated
that he had great faith in the out
come of the recent visit of the Alaska
Railroad Commission. And lie fur
Their stated that whatever might be
the report of that commission re
garding the construction of railroads
in Alaska that he would give the
report his unqualified support. He
cared not whether a railroad was to
be built from Chitina, Valdez or Sc
ward, or from all three places. One
or more railroads to the interior was
greatly needed and the Delegate was
willing to take the judgment of the
Commission on the matter, providing
that there was any degree of unani-
nifty among the members.
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-26
A GENERAL APPLICATION

Our attention has been called to
the fact that when Judge Overfield
made his recent announcement as to
the future drawing of juries in this
division. he further said that here
after juries would be largely drawn
from places distant from the locality
at which the court is being held. He
intends that his order shall not only
apply to Cordova, but will be effective
as we'll at Valdez, Seward, Chitina,
or wherever court may be held. BY
this means he hopes to remove local
prejudice or favor, and to secure
verdicts more in accord with the
evidence.
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-26
FROM THE PARTICULAR VIEW
POINT.

During the past few days there
has been much discussion hereabouts
regarding the Interpretation and ap-
plication of evidence given in court
or before grand juries. And in
this connection many peculiar ex-
plantations and analysis are heard.
A good illustration comes from a
member of the grand jury that sat
at Chitina last June, for the purpose
of investigating into many charges
that had been made against the U. S.
Commissioner and deputy Marshal,
officiating in that precinct The final
report gave everybody, including the
presiding Judge, clean bill of
health. A member of the jury in
afterwards discussing their action
stated that although scores of wit
nesses were heard not one serious
charge had been proven against Com
missioner Healy.
When asked about Healys own adj
mission that he had voted illegally
at the Delegate election in August,
1910, when he was not a citizen of
the United States, the juror stated
that he was properly reprimanded in
their report, which stated that Healy,
fought not to have voted" When
asked whether certified copy of the
oath subscribed to by Healy when he
was challenged and taken from the
official election records at juneau,
was not before the jury, he replied
that it was. And part of that oath
was declaration that the subscriber
was a citizen of the United States,
when Healy was not admitted to citi-
zenship until nearly two years later
When asked why Healy was not in
dicted for perjury the juror declared
that matter was discussed but the
conclusion had been reached, through
the kind assistance of the District
Attorneys Office, that Healy had not
committed perjury because there had
been no evidence submitted to the
grand jury showing that Healy had
held up his right hand when he
life are all a matter of view point

The race between Geo. E. Baldwin
and L. V. Ray for the second Sena-
torship in this division seems to be
as uncertain as does the contest be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt for the
electoral vote of California. Today
it looks as though Ray was in the
lead by about SO votes. If the
Afognak vote is correct it will be diff
ficult for Mr. Baldwin to catch up, as
there are but few more precincts to

to strengthen Rays lead.

draw down a salary of $500, and ex-

ALASKA'S PROMISING FUTURE

1t is interesting to note the various
views held by the different news
papers and periodicals with reference
tC the bearing that the complete con-
troll by Mr.. Wilson's Democratic party
of all branches of the govern
ment will have on the future growth
and development of Alaska. The
Seattle Railway and Marine News
rather throws cold water on the prob
ability of much good resulting from
the appointment and recent visit of
the Alaska Railroad Commission, but
is however. optomistic over the prob
ability of much additional railroad
building under private ownership.
The News says:
1.-The late election with its Demo-
cratic victory, has a direct bearing
upon Alaska transportation situation
Ii is likely that much addional mile
age will be constructed by private
ownership because of the Alaska
planks in the Democratic platform
These distinctly provide for the open
ing up of Alaska under conditions
eminently satisfactory to its people
and carefully providing against the
alleged corporation control; the home
rule of the territory and the appoint
ment of Alaskans to office in Alaska
# the Democratic party carries out
its platform Alaska will forge ahead
by leaps and bounds. There is moth
ing to hold it back. The Railroad
Commission is thing of the past. 1t
is regarded merely as a prediction
sop thrown out at small expense to
please the West in it's popular cry of
"Do something for Alaska" AS has
been pointed out. previously, the
United States would be establishing
a dangerous precedent in starting
cry of government ownership. The
Democratic platform does not include
a railroad commission or government
ownership plank, but even without
such the party can accomplish in one
short year in Alaska more than has
been done in the past decade. All
eyes are upon the relation of the new
party in power with Alaskan affairs
and if the platform is adhered to and
socialistic ideas left out, Alaska's flu
ture is assured. In conservation, the
Democratic platform is clear 1t be-
lieves in conservation, like we all do,
but it is reasonable conservation and
not that of the Clifford Pinchot brand.
Pinchotism, by the way, was entirely
outvoted in the election. In sum-
ming up it is clear that the rights of
the people and of the corporations
will be protected fully while Alaska
is in the process of an Empire in the
making"
The Chitina leader., 1912-11-26
But they heard the evidence, and

But they heard the evidence, and
there's the rub. Had they not been
in attendance at the court sessions,
both verdicts might have been ac-
cepted without question. And while
many are pleased at the acquital, they
shake their heads in wonder, and cam
rot understand it. Others emphati-
cally declare that it was a traversty
on justice, and that such verdicts
give little encouragement to man to
remain honest. And the injury to
the community lies in this sentiment,
SO often expressed. For it is false
remise. All our social, business and
moral institutions and beliefs are
builded upon foundation of honesty
and integrity. We all have our
shortcomings, but the man who is
honest with himself and the world
has joy in living that is unknown to
the criminally inclined The con-
fidence and respect of our fellow man
is greater reward to these who are
fighting life's battles in the hercu-
lean task to AVOID the pit falls of
life, than is the sordid gain of unfair
advantage to the individual who
ceases in his effort to walk in the
narrow path of rectitude.
In the discussion of the post office
cases. much thought is given to Mr..
Foulks. No one who knows him
attributes to him a criminal mind.
He has admitted that in moments of
weakness he wronged the govern
ment. He is suffering the penalty
of his acts and will undoubtedly
come forth from his confinement with
a clearer conscience and a determined
effort to make amends in the future
for the erorrs of the past. He will
have the sympathy of the community
and their we'll wishes for his future
success. All three defendants have
had many trying months, and there
will be general hope that the two
just acquitted will put forth renewed
effort to achieve an honorable sue
cess in life and justify the faith the
community would like to have them.
