banker, and many others have con-
servatively predicted-that the capt.

1t was many years ago that Charles
Goldstein came to Alaska. In the ear
ly.day struggle Southeastern Alaska
passed through in it's bid for recogni-
ton of what its hills contained, the
young merchant played no small part.
He was prominent in every movement
which had for its goal the advance
ment of Juneau in particular, and Al
aska in general. In affairs polite or
civic his advice was invariably sought
and today, whenever boost to this or
that project is needed, plans would
be incomplete without him.
Success has crowned Mr.. Goldstein's
work with golden wreaths, but, like
hundreds of pioneers of the North,
the top of the ladder was reached by
him only after years of toll. The wood
en- store that stood where the pres
ent magnificent block now proudly
rises, developed one of the future
merchant princes of the Northland,
and gave to him inspiration to keep
) his trust with the country of his
adoption.
Mr.. Goldstein has reared family
} in Juneau. He is prominent socially
and fraternally.
To summarize, it was 30 years ago
on the 18th of April Charles Goldstein
} came to Juneau and went into bust
ness with his father, Robert Gold
stein. In 1898 he set up for himself.

store in it's present location, the build
ing then occupied being replaced last
year by the finest concrete structure

top floor of the Goldstein Building
was used as a meeting place by the
} Territorial Legislature during it's re-
, cent session. Mr.. Goldstein is among
the city's most popular business men
and is a member of the Elks' and Mas
} onic lodges.

of prompt assurances for the future
safety Of American lives. Austria
Hungary has never notified the
United States whether the command
ers of it's submarines have been given
instructions similar to those which
the German government gave to Its
commanders after the Lusitania trag-
edy. It Is understood that the note
referred particularly to the charge
that shells from the submarine kill
ed or wounded some passengers on
the Ancona after she had halted, and
asked for an explanation on the point.
In despatching the note, Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval or
and after consulting with President
Wilson. 1t is stated authoritatively
that the document which is described
as being comparatively brief and de-
cide6ly vigorous in tone, was so draft
ed as to attempt a settlement of its
controversy at once, without bring
ing on a series of communications
such as followed the sinking of the
Lusitania. High officials are said to
be of the opinion that the situation
is one which calls for grave consider
alton, the state of affairs having be-
come more complicated since the note
was dispatched by reports Of attacks
upon American oil-carrying vessels
in the Mediterranean presumably Dy
Austrian submarines.

The fact that a number Of jurors
disqualified themselves for service in
the Isenhower case by declaring them
selves opposed to capital punishment
has been quite generally remarked.
While, of course, several Of the ju-
rors understood what they were saying.
there were others who evidently did
not understand. One of the jurors. for
instance, after having expressed him.
self as opposed to capital punishment,
was asked by the court If he did not
believe that the death penalty was the
right thing for murder and certain
other crimes, and he replied, "Yes."
The truth Of the matter is that while
the adopted word capital" as mean
ing the head or cutting off the head. Is
very good English, our people gener-
ally are not so familiar with it's sig
nificance as they are with the words
hang or "electrocute." There are
some very strong arguments in oppo-
sition to capital punishment, and most
people who are opposed to the same
are entitled to the highest respect in
their opinions. But since in this mat
ter the main thing is to get the true
attitude on the subject, it would
probably be as we'll for the court to
take particular pains in the asking Of
questions intended to develop the infor-
nation sought.

HERE AND THERE

The chief topic Of conversation on
the streets this week has been the
Isenhower trial. Indeed little else
has been heard. And there is, OF
course a difference Of opinion regard
ing the guilt or innocence Of the ac-
cused. Predictions regarding the case
are numerous. Some people say the
jury will acquit the accused and others
will result in a mistrial, and others
can't see any possible chance for any
thing other than a conviction.
Boarding houses have done q
flourishing business this week on ac-
count Of the large number Of people
here. Everybody has found a place
to stay and all appear to be satisfied
with their arrangements.
Sheriff Browns deputies have kept
vigilant watch throughout the week
for persons who might attempt to en-
ter the court room with weapons In
their possession. A story Is going the
rounds that number Of Fairfield
people came to Yorkville armed; but
when they learned that the sheriff S
officers would search every person ap-
preaching the courthouse they deposit
ed their pistols in their respective
rooms. 1t is said that one or two
boarding houses in town are at pres
ent regular arsenals.
Whats the reason you didn't
print the reports Of all the township
supervisors?" inquired Supervisor j
S. Plexico of Bullock's Creek, this
morning. Simply because they were
not submitted to the court: we are
quite willing to print the reports of all
the officials" was the reply. We'll
there are some Of them 1 would like
to see," said Mr.. Plexico. "They
would be interesting"
They have got it going the round,
said Mr.. T. B. Glenn, manager Of the
TirZah warehouse the other day
that our charge Of Is cents per bale
for storing cotton in the state ware
house does not also pay the insurance
on the cotton. OF course, it pays all
charges. The report, think, has
been circulated by some people around
TirZah, who are connected with private
owned warehouses and who are oppos-
ed to the state system"

The absolute fairness Of Judge Rice
in the long-drawn out Isenhower case
has been so noticeable on the part OF
the spectators and others as to be-
come a frequent subject Of admirine
remark. 1t is not to be understood
by this that there is any question OF
his honors fairness in all other cases
He is eminently fair under all circum-
stances; but in as tense a case as the
one in question, where feeling one
way or the other is the rule rather
than the exception, and where people
of strong feelings are inclined to look
upon every man as a partisan one
way or the other, it is high testimo-
nial to the judge that everybody
should consider him so fair.

The opinion of the attorney general
on the question as to whether North
Carolinians may avail themselves of
the privilege Of the South Carolina
gallon a month law, is interesting. AS
to whether or not that opinion Is right
we do not know. 1t may be right and
it may not be. But whether right or
wrong, it must be remembered that it
has not force Of law until confirmed
by the courts. The York county grand
jury, upon the advice Of the solicitor
and with the approval Of Judge Rice,
has declared that it is violation Of the
law for the North Carolinians to make
use Of the town Of Glover as a clear
ing house for liquor 1t is the busi-
ness Of the magistrates to take their
law from the grand jury and the So
licitor and to carry out instructions
accordingly. If anybody offers resist
ance, Of course, Solicitor Henry will
stand his ground, it will be for the su-
preme court to determine the law.

the white mans creed, he continued.
Freedom, Friendship and Charity. he
pointed out, are the basis Of the order.
The order does not teach that friend
ship which exists only when the sun
shines, when good health prevails and
es that spirit Of loyalty which stands
firm in need, distress and want. Pur-
suing his explanation Of friendship,
the former governor said there would
not be so many fraternal orders II the
churches did their duty. He said he
realized his declaration was a strong
one, but he proposed to prove 1t. Sup
pose" he said, two men who are
communicates Of the same church are
here. One may leave and meet dis
tress The other might leave later
and encountering the first in his
plight, say, Yes, that man belongs to
the same church as do, but am go
ing home" =,
Red Men, said the speaker. would
never do that. Each Red Man Is al
ways willing to render service to his
brother. There Is no secrecy about the
order Any man Of good character
can come In.
Discussing the principle Of free
dom, which Is a bulwark Of the order.
Governor Blease explained that free
dom meant liberty of thought and
opinion Of the mind-that freedom
which teaches men to look the world
in the face and say, II know my
rights and dare to assert them. The
only free man, he said, was he who
could stand square to the four winds
and say, II can do as please as long
as I don't trespass upon the laws Of
the great God who gave me life."
Many people, said the speaker,
know not the meaning Of charity.
They think dropping a nickel in a
poor mans hat is charity. He said
he had given many quarter to a
man who asked, but he did not ex-
pect any reward for charity, because
that wasn't charity, but he had given
the money solely for political effect.
The charity which the order Of Red
Men teaches, explained Governor
Blease, is that which gives to each
man the. right Of opinion. We have
no right, he said, to judge mans
charity by what he gives, but by what
he does. He who does not condemn
the drunkard or other sinner, but
tries to show him the error Of his
way and help him up, Is charitable.
In conclusion the governor discuss
ed tho institutions Of the order, and
invited all who wanted to learn the
principles Of freedom, friendship and
charity to join the order Of Red Men.

AS there is nothing doing in
Christianity at present, isn't it i'm
portant that clergymen should enlist,
was the trap presented in the house of
commons last Wednesday to Harold j.
Tenant, parliamentary under-secre-
tary for war. by the Liberal member
for Hanley, Robert L. Cultivate. The
question was put evidently with the
object Of starting a debate on the sub
