Douglas Island news., 1921-07-01
FORMER PRINCE A sMUGGLER

Am interesting and not at an surprising little news items crept into the dispatches the other day from Berlin to the effect that Etcl Frederick, second son of former Emperor William was found guilty and fined for iuegaIy exporting coin from Ger many to Holland. The former prince trans rcrrcd large amount of capital through a wcI-kuowu fiscal company. It was re- ported from the German capital that "since he did not act through dishonorable mo- tives" he was fined a bagatcIle of 5000 marks
 It does not require the impuguing of his -houorabc motives in the tansac- tion to crtcisc the course of young EiteL In thc first place he and his whole family have what they possess mfairly-to the wrong of the German people and the mjus- ficc of the world. They of an ought to pay to the last mark they have amasscd in part settlement of the debt which they saddled upon their own people in the enormous sums raised in preparation for war of ustiu. rapmc for power Tor Jhls one mousse , they should be made to disgorge every mark they have to help their own people pay the great debt of separations for which rbe HobcuzoHcus were directly rcspon- siblc. They have protested that they are loyal Co their own people. Yet. who has heard of William or amy of his sons contrib utmg anything to the fund which the Ger man people must raise to pay the debts created by tbc kaiscr's mad ambition! And what are the natural feelings when 1t IS learned that just before the German people must pay the first mstalIment of this huge sum. the former prince is caugh, in the act of slipping large amounts of gold out of the country Illegally!

 But disaster overlook three of the four biz mines then operating practically with m tbc portals of the town and in less time rlau ir takes to tell of it the fate of the Island as a mining center was sealed. Since -rat sad dav Douglas has been ou the de- cline and to such am extent has she declined that sle is no longer a newspaper town nor is i longer possible for a newspaper puh- EsaeJ here Co pay its way, to say nothing .f making living for those who conduct. it, For that reason and that reason alone is thc publication of this paper in Douglas b.m. discontinued with this issue after nearly wmr-tbrcc years during which r.r.oI lt has never missed am issue or tu.- cI m its efforts Co be true and loyal to its home and home interests And never has a pap.~ in Alaska OF elsewhere had more r. and loyal supporters than the Island News. and t is our respect for them os p.rors. our love tor them as neiehbor that makes to us the task of writing this oue ot -hc -addcst in our long experience as a newspaper man and journalist.
 Tbcplaut of the News win be moved to Juneau within the next few days s-uot that there exist, in that place amy long tc., want for another newspaper but that there , mor. bu,uc,, there than here and that we ny. a living to make for those dcpeud- .rr upon us However. the paper will con- -uuc ro be the organ of Douglas and Doug a, Island. a, it will bear at its masthead -Succossor to thc Douglas Island News.
 Personally. we have never lost conti- Icucc in rhc future of Douglas and her sis -er Tradwcu Hope springs eternal m taa human breast and when the period of reconstruction and reorganization which tn. entire country is now undergoing is .umpn-ed we have every confidence that D,u.as Island will come back and come back strong. and when that day comes the News win return to its first love and to its own home which will be awaiting it.

A NEW DEAL

Tho now administration
 Admluis.rotcs in stylo And au thc busy nation
 Hangs out % hopeful smile. Upon our padded shoulders
 Tho burden lighter sccm; And only office holders
 Are dreaming mouruful dreams. We're great on swapping horses If there's @ trade in view And everyone endorses
 Whatever may be now We Iko to see now faces
 Around us. we confess Although great charms and grocca Tho old ones may pomoa New whiskers arc supplanting Tho boards we long have seon; New feet arc gallIvant.ng.
 New brooms are sweeping clean. And we distribute folders
 To toll how glad we are. And only odico holders
 Arc looking black as tar It,s good no king is rcigning In this star spanglcd land, Or we'd all bc complaining
 Unu we saw him canned. He'd find us growing cooler He'd hear us kick and cu@; Five yoam of any ruler
 Is quite enough for us. We're fond of making changes. And old things are @ bore; Whatever now and strange is We welcome at Che door, We hooyo mo bricks or bouldcm 40 any unknown guesti And only ofice holders
 Seem weary and distressed.
