GOOD LESSON FOR THOSE WHO
 WILL HEED

The act of Charles E. Heron in go- ing into criminal court and pleading guilty to having committed crime by printing things about a responsible citizen of the territory that he admit ted were not true and causing editor ia1 comment to be made that was not true, and by signing a statement in which he not only publicly retracted what he had said but admitted that the man he had traduced was a re- spectable and honorable citizen, ought to be a lesson to some of the self styled neWspapermen of Alaska. Some Of these men who pretend to be news papeTmen consistently write what they think will serve their purpose regardless of facts or truth They apparently know nothing of the his tory of Alaska, current or past, and care less. They write like people who never investigate anything. They say things that people know are not true. They misquOte people whose acts and words are we'll known. They aistort words almost before the echo Of their utterance has ceased to ring. They never retract even when their lies are nailed on them-eXcept when hailed into court to answer the pro- eesses of law.
 This is a sort of journalism that once upon a time was familiar to Americans, but fortunately it has all but completely passed away with many of the undesirable things of the decades that have gone. However, it is because there are still some of tkem here and there that we continue 70 hear people say once in while that "you cant believe anything you see in the papers"
 If the obvious lessons of the Cor deva libel proceedings are taken to heart they should have 8 good effect in Alaska.-Juneau Empire.

EYE FOR AN EYE

Some surprise was expressed in Re- publican circles as to the outcome of the criminal and civil cases wherein Charles E. Heron was defendant and George HaZelet complaining witness and plaintiff, respectively. There was some surprise expressed that Mr. Heron apologized, admitted guilt and that MT. Hazelet permitted to be dropped the civil action which he had started Yet, from the standpoint of both, it was the most satisfactory means of bringing to close an un. pleasant incident
 The attack upon MT. Hazelet was such that he could not permit it to go unchallenged, either before or after election. Because of the character of the attack, no refutation would mean virtually an admission of truth. He therefore brought the suit to clear his own character. That was the primary object, and if MT. Heron is willing to admit that he or his papers erred that the attack on Mr. Hazelet was anwarranted and not true, surely MT Hazelet has accomplished that whicl he started out to do-to clear himsel of the charges.
 As for Mr. Heron, if cooled aftel the heat of campaign, and realizing that he had wronged MT. Hazelet, h. saw fit to make such amends as were possible, he is to be commended.
 With MT. Hazelet it was not ques tion of an eye for an eye, or an at tempt to squeeze money from another It was a matter of clearing repu tation, and that accomplished he caret nothing for money or to satisfy an resentment that he might feel.
 Which brings to mind that too oftel does the rancor in hearts demand tht eye for an eye, as it is written, ir stead of showing that charity which it is also written, covers a multitud of sins. There are so many times, a

OH, DiXIE-BEWARE

Most of us up north can stand this,
 but the cotton growers down south would better keep an eye to windward. The British and the French are get ting tired of paying American grow
 CTS famine prices for cotton, mainly
 due to failure to put in modern ma- tations on an up-todate basis. The southern planters, on the average, have never done many things that a
 present-day agricultUrist thinks nec-
 essary because they had a super-abun- dan supply of cheap colored labor. So long as the negro could be kept ignOr-
 ant and animal he would work, when
 he worked at all, for a few cents a day, and there was always enough of
 him to go round, even when he didn't
 work much of the time. But the war has changed conditions somewhat
 The co1ored folks have come up north
 in large numbers and gained foot hold in northern industrial life. They have been forced upon the northern
 employers and the northern foreign union 1aborers. AS a result the en- pIoyers have found that cO1Ored help has it's good points, as we'll as bad, and the white workers have decided that it is better to unioniZe the blacks, rather than try to rule them out in mass and have them succeed, through mere force of numbers, as strike breakers. It is likely that the color ed workers will remain north now and that the black belts of our in dustria1 centers will steadily enlarge at the expense of the southern plant CTS surplus supply.
 As a result of this shift, the cotton man, unemployed with labor saving devices, has been so short handed that he could not produce. We have had miserable cotton crops in the last two years and the outlook for the coming season is as bad as it could be. Prices of a prohibitive level have been the result.
 The European users of our cotton have become so weary of this con- dition and of paying tribute to Amer ica that the governments of Britain efforts to build up a home grown sup ply. The French government is help ing planters double their output in the Niger and the Senegal valleys in Africa, from which much is hoped. | Tn the Cambo5ge district the govern ment is tuning ever for exploitation 1 six million acres. The British are doing some very extensive develop l ment work in the Soudan and in other semi-tropica1 possessions. It would 1 saPTn to be only question of time when these nations are to a large ex- tent self-supporting. Egyptian long fiber is now better than our cotton. |
 And we don't know that northern American citizens have anything to worry about. We can't eat cotton, | but we can eat corn and other food | products that would be grown in the old slave states if cotton became less | profitable And with a larger worlds | supply of cotton, linen shirts and collars would become cheaper.

NEVER TO RETURN

Recollect the good old days when they used to run the United States government a whole year for bill lion dollars? Well, those dear old days are gone, alas, never to return It looks now as if the cost of oper- ation for the present fiscal year would be about seven billion dollars. At least we have achieved that proud result up to date. If the soldiers bonus goes through, there will be another billion or so to add.
 The expenses of administration to date are as follows:
 Cost of running Federal Government for nine months ended March 31 was $5,028, ,176,000, according to Treas ury officials, made up mainly as fol lows: War Department, $1,301, ,605, ,OOO; Railroad Administration, $776,59O, ,00O; Navy Department, $621 1,364,000; Ship ping Board, $433, 100000; interest on public debt, s664 1923 ,0OO; maintenance of Congress, $15,309,O00; executive offices, s6,177, ,000 Estimated total for fiscal year to end June 30 will reach about S6,750,000,000 or about $18,000 900 a day, and s652,7e3,0oO in ex cess of Secretary Glass estimate made in December.

fessed reprohate. He was arrested out W est somewhere and sent to the peniten- tiary. Mamie promised her dying mother that she'd do all in her power for her brother as long as she lived"
 "So," said Miss Petunia, she thought of an old and very dear friend of pher mother out in Chicago, where her brother was, and she wrote and asked him to go and see what the trouble was, and do what wasdreeded, and she would refund every dollar of the money. He went, and his deply to her letter was that he had found her brother, who was perfectly well, but dead drunk and in jail, arrested in debauch with lot of bad com panions.'
 That taught her lesson, hope, said the major rather hotly .I hope she's do- ing something for herself now" But she isnt,' Miss Petunia told him, her eyes full of tears. She's now trying to keep her brother from going back to

Besides that, she sends s5 a month to friend of hers up north some where who married unfortunately, and who has house full of children to take care of and worthless husband to sup port. You agree with me that there is at least one martyr alive today, major, don't you?"
 T do,' the major agreed. T don't doubt that your friend, Mamie Jones' is only one of a thousand women we pass on the streets daily without suspecting what's really behind the scenes in their lives"
 No, nobody will ever paint her DOT trait and put her in gold frames,' Miss Petunia averred, Tor devote all the chap ters in a tiresome book telling of her good deeds, but the fact remains that the world is just as full of martyrs to duty, even to imaginary duty, as it ever was, and the most beautiful part of the modern sacrificers is that they aren't getting an atom of praise. They don't want it. All they are trying to do is just to keep the world from knowing what they are sacrificing"

given to those pioneer women who caught the vision of service through .he great womans club movement and have led in all the great reforms which have brought broader expression and understanding of life to all women, whether they belonged to woman club or not. Every woman around that special board will wear silver crown and have d serenity of expression that will be a benediction in itself regard less of any spoken word one may hear at the banquet. Facing the sunset of life with the purple twilight written in their features and bearing every mark of a well-spent life. they will fill everyone present with mingled awe, respect and admiration. Facing the west, with life triumphant radiating from their features, they will be an inspiration for service for all women in the noontide of life, who have taken up their tasks.
