Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 16 1914.

Justice is one of the most remark able things in the world Not the s3 mbol of justice. that blindfolded eoodess with the bum scales. Lut the regulation American justice that i. dealt out to all of the people most an of the time.
 The rights of the American people is wornout slogan of bygonc politi- o.ans. but 1t stili resounds down the hall of political campaigns and fire Prcntly the people get the idea that they are sovereign and have whole lot of rights of one kind or another
 Fortunately they usualy get over thc idea or are buncoed out of 1t one way or another and the country goes :i3ht along prosperinG and growing just the same as if the goddess of lib . only the fancy of some artist, and the blind goddess oc justic" was really blind and had Il pair of scales that rere not fixed"
 In New York state, for instance. thn law in regard to the punishment for murder Is the same as it is in ncariy every state in the union. Death
 And yet in that same state of New .,rk the records show that not orc nun in ten who is tried for murd T tS sentenced to death and that not fifty CT cent of the few who are sentenced t' death ever pay the penalty.
 There is something very wrong witt justice when things like that can hap- Len. There is something very wrong with our entire judicial system whcr the courts of any state can put ove! tH.me of the things that are put over in the courts of New York and stiS t4 called courts of justice. If sucf CT urts as the one which tried the mar s,t hmidt for instance are representa- tive of justice then indeed is tha' Gam6 lUBLiCB FtTy III "DIIlHn, III 4NtN York.
 Schmidt was tried for a particularly r4voiting murder and by the evidence he was clearly guilty. There was not tbt slightest doubt of that but tho :rry disagreed as to the sanity of th' ,oan and no conviction could he obs tained.
 The Schmidt case is only one oi very many whore the courts have fail I'd utterly to deal out justice as the laws of the land demand that it shai tc dealt out. impartially ard fairly.
 ssome years ago a young man nam .-a Tbaw committed n cofd blood@l ard deliberately planed murder on onG of New York's roof gardens Thor'

was, as in the Schmidt case. not the slightest doubt as to the guilt of th.. man. He was, and is. a perfectly san. Individual. And yet Harry Thaw with the family millions behind him could H"t get justice in the New York courts. Justice in this case meant death Eletrocution for murder of which the man was clearly guilty. Instead of a death sentence Thaw Y as sent to an asylum fur the insane and in the course of time. just as .t lad all been arranged, he escaped and there is now not the slightest chance ot his evr paying the penalty for his crime
 Some thing wrong with judicial system or with Judicial practice in a state where the Schmidt case and th, Thaw case can be put over on the people.
 Another instance which has recent iy come before the public. and the few mentioned here are only a few Of many. in which 1t looks very much ns if some one had been tamperaina with the scales of the blind goddess is the case of the New Haven railroad
 From all reports and from what ar rears to be the best of evidence tho stockholders of that road have been systematically robbed for years by lH"n who's" identity is beyond qucs ton There is not the slightest doubt g." L" the guilt of the men involved 'r the robbery of the stockholders of th" road They are known and wenI known to those whose business ii isl t' protect n" people from just such things US have happened to the stock holders of th" New Haven and nt uany other corporations
 int those whose duty II Is to ,., t' it that such men as those who have swindlcd the stockholders uf tn" New hav"n road arc very closely allied with other interests and the other in t'lcsts have been tampcring with th seals of poor old justice until thry will not weight even one little case accurately \ httlc pinch of Wal St'cet on on" side of the scales. a lii [ ,r wee bit of dust of political neccs- sity. just a silver from the club that "iways hangs over the officer holdcl ! and the oflccseekcr and those who's, business il is L. bring the raimoadl [" the bar of justice smooth it over
 \ few radical papers cry aloud tha. Justice is dead in the land and they / .lc called the yellow press A few '' rious minded men iu congress and cut of congress protest against th. system which allows such things to be .'u account of political eXpcdiency and they are called absurd purists
 But who can read of the now fa l nous Thaw case. the more recent case and the recently pub 1 lishrd statements in regard to th-I New Haven railroad and other com mon carriers and deny that American UstCc is not one of the most remark nble things in the world? Poor old goddess. what she needs most in this C untry of ours just now is q good doctor for she is very III old woman, especially in New York.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL
BULB CULTURE.

A year or 50 ago Wilhelm Miller
summed up the question of successful
bulb culture as follows
Every year we Americans spend about
100000 FOR bulbs. without realizing
the one fundamental fact about them
that makes for quality. While we can
Increase the size of the flowers and pro-
foundly affect the depth and purity Of
their colors by cultural skill, all the
time. money and loving care that we
bestow upon them will never Increase
the number of flowers. That In all de-
tcrmncd when we buy the bulbs.
To convince ourselves Of this all We
have 10 do Is to cut open a bulb ana
II wa have patience and n good mlgnI-
flying glass we can count every blossom
which that bulb had the possibility II
making.
The kind OF crocuses you usually buy
produce only two or three flowers.
first size crocus bulb should measure
3 inches in circumference and produce
four TO six flowers. And 80 II goes.
You may lavish daily care for months
upon an ordinary hyacinth bulb. and
you will never have anything that you
can show with pride to your ncighbors.

GARDENING NOTES

But think OF a hyacinth with eighty
three bellsl That would be something
to exclaim over. You wouldn't have to
apologize to your callers for the con-
dition OF your flowers You wouldn't
have TO wonder why" they were not
better. The secret" Of bulb culture is
that charming little mystery wrapped
up In the heart OF every bulb-the num-
Der OF flowers II intends to show.
How can one tell a quality bulb? AS
a rule, the bigger the bulb the more the
flowers and the higher the price. but
that isn't all! You want a bulb that
is heavy for It's size. II Is the solid,
close grained bulb that has the hardi-
ness to resist wet and cold; 1t is the
.ose. sappy one that falls an casy
prey to disease.
The other secret OF bulb culture is
10 get wonderful root growth in the
fall before the stem begins to shoot up.
\ cool. dark place will fix that Bulb
culture is really too easy" Beginners
do sometimes fail, but that Is usually
because they put the bulbs in too heavy
soil. Bulbs have one weak point. They
are sensitive 10 stagnant water. Put
little sand under each bulb, II you are
in doubt And so I say the real secret
or buIb culture is TO buy the very best
bulbs. II costs the Dutchmen more TO
raise first class bulbs than ordinary
bulbs. and we can never expect TO have
quality flowers unless we pay a fair
price. The prices Of general merchandise
have advanced all along the line. Every
body knows that. Bulbs and seeds and
plants have not advanced. but they
must, because our standards are ad-
the very hest Of everything, and they
are willing TO pay for 4 II the thing is
