The habit which some of the news papers of Southeastern Alaska have of taking up matters which are on trial in the federal court and quoting supposed facts which cannot help but have & bearing on the case at issue, may not come within the limits of contempt, but it is not right, nor, in fact, good sense. It has the appearance, take it as you will, of having back of it desire to influence the court or the juries. However little that influence may be, it is not the province of a newspaper to sway the opinions of the people at such time, nor to ineite their passions. The theory of our courts is that every man accused of crime should have a fair and impartial trial, and judges grow gray in honest efforts to bring It to pass. However, when any newspa- per or individual plainly shows desire to "butt i'll" at such time for any pur- pose, it is not only an insult to the court, but direct slap in the faces of all decent and honest people. The printing of news is the province of newspapers, but every publisher should use the judgment which God has given him to prevent the printing of news which may do more harm thau good. Of course we realize the weaknesses of humanity extend even to the men in charge of large newspapers, and that with the best of motives mistakes will be made, but, as they used to say down in Texas, "A man who will let the same snake bite him twice is fool"

The parcel post having been intro duced to the people of Alaska by the postoffice department, many are anx- ious to try it out, if for nothing more, to see how it works. However, it is important that all should bear in mind that the parcel post stamps are differ ent from the ordinary stamps and must be used. If you place the old fashioned kind of stamps on a package intended for the parcels post, you have wasted your money because they are useless. Again, each package must have clearly written or printed on it the name and address of the sender. Otherwise it will not go. The rate for Alaska is 12c 8 pound up to Il pounds. This same rate applies whether the parcel is to be sent merely between local offices or to any point in the states. It is best un- der all circumstances to consult the postmaster, and he will give you all the information necessary.

Homer g. knight, Is, of Bernardston
was before the district court yesterday
charged with wilfully endangering the

fined $50 and paid his fine. 1t appear
ed that the young man, who was cello
brating the night before the Fourth Mt
the Bernardston railroad station, threw
two milk cans at the express train as
it was passing. There was no serious
damage done, hut there was evidence
from a railroad official that serious
harm might have resulted from the
act had it not been for the interview
tion of good fortune The cans were
tho heavy cans used for shipping milk
and were standing on the station plat
form where they had been placed the
night before. The material of which
the cans are constructed is such that
derailmcnt of the express might have
resulted, which would possibly have
resulted in loss Of lives.
