 United States Marshal Tanner, as exclusiv ely reported in the Empire yestertcy afternoon, said he felt certain the men would be taken be- fore midnight and landed back again ir the Federal j:il. Marshal Tanner also said he wanted to t'ank the city police force for their work on the chase. Ed. Haller has also been on the c,;ase, 9CG with lis sUto, materially aiGed the cfficers.
 Neither Fenning nor Neel had ony firearms whcn arrested, and if they had had any, they Lave been hidden somewhere outside the cabin.
 Put Blame on Brown
 Fenning and Neel claim that Wal ter Brown was the man who sawed the bars of the tank and of the window which permitted their es- cane. They did not leave the tank until about two hours after Brown had escaped, the lure of the out doors proving too much for them.
 Walter Brown, the third man who escaped last Sunday night. is still at large. He is believed to be hid ing in the city and will be taken when he canes from cover, accord ing to the marshals office.

t e Lower House, according to a statement made by Senator E. B. Collins today. Senator Collins stated that just before the Fourth Divi- sion contingent to that session left for Juneau, J. J. Mallaly, one of the Representative from Fairbanks, re- fused to serve. on account of busi- hess reasons, and left a vacancy which it was decided not to fill
 Tn the present instance Senator Col bins suggests that the better plan might be not to attempt to hold a special election, saying that any one elected would hardly be able to attend the session. Distances and slow methods of communication and travel at this season of the year, he relieves, would make it impossible for electioa returns to be had at Moro befoye tie 60-day legislative session. The Second Division, he said, with threo Representatives and
 two Senators would not likely be seriously affected by the vacancy.

TWO WRONGS AND THE RIGHT.

William Dalton, who confesses that he robbed
the Northern Trust company of Chicago of $772,-
600, offers as his excuse that he was getting only
$G5" presumably month";, and that the bank had
refused him increase of salary.
Dalton is II years old. Most of us can remember
how opulent would have felt at that age if we
had been earning that amount. The writer distinctly
recalls that he felt he quite professional man
when he was drawing $55 a month--for a nine
month year-for teaching school in a rural district
of Louisiana.
OF course times have changed since then, and
the well-known almighty dollar has lost of its
might But even after making all due discounts, SOS
month is not a starvation wage for 17-year- old
lad
That however. is not the crucial point. Let us
admit for the sake of argument that the bank did
wrong in entrusting mere boy with so much
money that it owed its depositors greater care in
the selection of a custodian for their money.
Now we come to the most common fallaey of
human reasoning, a fallacy which says that 1.-TWO
wrongs make right"
The taX-dodger argues that Bill Smith doesn't pay
his share of the governments running expenses then
why should he?
The school boy who is caught cheating says that
his deskmate copied his arithmetic last week, and
nobody didn't do him nawthin."
The petty thief complains that he is being pun
ished while wholesale embezzlers are able to buy
their freedom
And now comes young William Walton, who
says that because the bank did not pay him what
he thought he was worth, he felt that he was en-
titled to take than 100000 of other peoples
money.
Faacies all of them.
Granting young Dalton any state of fact about
the bank and its alleged injustice to him. his act
wrong We may pity rather than pillory him for his
weakness, but never justify him.
We may make all allowances for human frailty
and which of cast the first stone ?-but
that does not mean that should join in his crook
ed adolescent philosophy.

LET Us BE FAIR.

The question of the reasonable route to be taken
by the proposed hard surface road west of the Bare
bridge, is creating great interest if not eXcee-
ment among the citizens affected
Many eontending for the present road which
turns south at the Ferguson just west of the
bridge A larger number are fighting to have the
road continue from the Ferguson for n dis
tance OF nine-tenths of a mile and thence south,
coming back into the present road at the Martin
1t is contended that, If opportunity is given
for hearing it be shown that this route will
much larger number of people
The Journal does not attempt to pass on the
relative merits of these routes However, there ap-
to be disposition the part of officials
to 'pass the buck" from to another and to avoid
public hearing upon this matter
The county commissioners, state engineer, state
highway commission and the federal aid agent are
all parties to the building of the road. We not
learn for some reason, whose decision is final
We do urge, however, that these various officials
the servants not the masters, of the people.
Everyone should be freely and fairly heard by the
determining authorities and exact justice, without
fear favor should then be done.
No lingering suspicion should be left that any
iafuence except the general welfare determined the
action taken should any be made to feel that
fun hearing before impartial judges, not had.
This thing must not be decided "in a corner"

THE HEDGCOCK-ZINN BILL.

The bill introduced in the senate at Santa Fe on
Saturday by Senators Hedgcock and Zinn is one of
the most important administrative bills introduced
during this session. 1t is the bill prescribing the
procedure to be followed in the land office in hand
ling applications for the purchase leasing of pub
lie lands
great deal of adverse criticism has been direct
ed at the land office its handling of these
matters, The office has been accused of favorsm
and even Of corruption. The Journal believes much
of this criticism to be justified by facts in It's pos
session. OF course, the land office strenuousy de-
MES these charges.
This bill would correct the worst loop holes leav
ing opportunity for fraud If nothing wrong is being
done there certainly should be objection to so
fixing the law to prohibit the possibility of wrong
To leave the matter of proper conduct to the dis
erection of the land office clerks is absurd The law
should direct the to be pursued and provide
severe penalty for its breach
Any interference the part of the land office
with the passage of this act should be the signal for
a real battle in behalf of the public welfare.

THE HUNGARIAN HORROR.

vivid picture of the horror that stalks in Hun

American Relief administration, whose duties took
him recently to Budapest, in letter to friend.
The American Relief administration is the organ
ization through which the European Relief Council,
endeavorng to raise $33 900 900 for the purpose
is feeding 350O000 children Central and Eastern
Europe.
'''They burn their chairs and tables in order to

of Budapest. "only ten per cent have fuel to heat
their food; even the wool that is used in the Amer

PRICES OF DIAMONDS
INCREASED 5000 IN
THE LAST 40 YEARS

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-Dlamond
prices increased 500 per cent be-
tween 1880 and 1920, according to
Chicago trade experts. They ad-
vanced 200 per cent during the
war. They reached the peak of
all the ages in 1919 and remained
at the maximum until the middle
of 1920. There has since been a
small decline.
"In $780," said Sidney Ball, a
Chicago expert, diamonds of high
quality retailed at 500 a carat;
in 1890 at $3.50; in 1900 at $3.50 /;
in 1910 at $3.50; in 1914 at $400;
in 1917 at $500; in 1913 at 5000;
and in 1919 at 800. The price
now is $3.50.
"rhe best diamonds, blue
whites, canary-colored, browns
and those of other tints known to
the trade as fancy command as
much as $1,000 a carat. No set
rules govern the value of the
larger stones. Prices depend on
size, color, brilliancy and cutting.
1.-THE advance of diamond prices
up to the war period was due to
the arbitrary business methods of
the De Beers Consolidated Mines,
Ltd, that controls the output of
the South African mines, which
yield SO per cent of the worlds
diamonds. When mining was in
expensive and the output was
around 100000 carats annually,
prices continued to advance de-
spite seemingly inexhaustible
supply. The companys announced
policy was to prevent the ancient
jewel of kings from becoming
cheap and common.
Record prices in war times
were due to labor shortage and a
consequent shortage of output at
the mines and unexampled pros
perity in the United States which
made working people the nations
greatest diamond buyers. For
years the United States has abb
sorbed IS per cent of the South
output.
1.-The United States, according
to government statistics, import
ed $1,000,000 worth of diamonds
in 1867, the year the South Afri-
can fields were discovered. I'M
ports last year were valued at
$50. .000, 900.
