Democracy can never be extended
by force. as you would fling a net over
a flock of birds; but give it chance
and it will grow, as tree grows, by
sending down its roots into the heart

the light and spreading its arms wider

tlocks of heaven find refuge beneath

absence of his chief, rather than spring the trap which would kill Segura, which is an other reason for our signing it. There has never been hanging in Our Town, and if there never is it will be soon enough for us for we don't believe that there is a child in town who needs any such warn ing although there may be men in Our Town who should have been hanged long ago. and maybe we are one of them-which is another reason. Aside from that, and a few other reasons cannot just think of there is no reason why We should sign that petition.
 The transcript of the case, as We read it, showed that Segura went to the boiler house of George Riley, one of the great est producers of gold in the North in his day, with the apparent purpose of killing him. There were too many people around at the time of his arrival, so he stuck around the boiler house for about half a day helping to move iron pipe and do other other work until the people at work near there were far enough away to not inter- fere, and then he shot Riley in the back killing him. The laws of the Medes and Persians would not allow of or excuse pe- tition in his case, but we are neither Mede nor Persian-just a Mormon. What hap pens to Segura, how he pays the penalty for the crime he committed is nothing to us, nor have a right to butt in and try and change the play but for the reasons stated above and cant think of, prin- cipal of which is the petition graft" so we signed
 It is argued in Segura's favor that since he has been in jail awaiting justice he has gone some distance in bettering his education-that is another one of those req sons couldn't think of The more a is educated; the greater his conception of things they are, the keener his pun ishment if he has a shred of conscience left. Segura is foreigner, and brought with him to this country his unique but in- herited idea of personal rights and justice, which caused his crime. When educated to conception of the American plan of jus tice and right; when educated to the extent that he can see deeper into the real things which go to make up life, the enormity of his crime will appeal to him it has not to date, and to spend his life confined in jail realizing every day the why and the wherefore of it. will be a vastly greater punishment than would be quick and easy death, were it meted out to him week from tomorrow, as per schedule
 No need fear death It comes to all in Gods time, and is inevitable It is only a question of time-what time death with only the hope of an ultimate pardon to keep the prisoner alive. What will come of this petition the Lord knows and whatever comes of 1t is all right with if it is all right with HIM We would like to see everyone live forever and we hate death in any formulate it. although We have never learned to fear it. And we advise Mailo Segura to look at the matter philosophicaly, for what is to come to him lies in the Lap of the Gods and probably is coming to him"

ALASKA NEEDS ANOTHER JUDGE.

Lawyers and others again discussing the question ;of floating Judge for the United State District Court in Alaska-that is a Judge-at-largG who could be sent assist one jof the regular DistriA Jadges when in need of Assistance And there is merit in the contention that Judge is neede sthough it s probable that if all the work of the Territory could be centered to eliminate the difficulties arising on account of the distances in the Territory that four Judges could do all the work
 The present United States District Judges in Alaska have given good the capacity of four to do the work. because they have been on their Gobs. With the possible exception of Judge Brown who has been away from the Territory fev times ,on account of illness. the Judges in Alaska have not utilized average of the allotted thirty days vacation year. Judge Jennings is his first vacation. in than year, and he has gone, during the nearly eight years he has been on the bench, two years at time without vacation at all Usually his vacations short. He has earned ; reputation a hard working court. Lawyers hay compalined that he worked too hard. In the Secon Division, Judge Eozheimer has been the bench for more than three years, and he has had just trip Outside in that time. He has been at Nome four winters all of and part of three summer Judge Bunnell has been the bench in the Fourt Division five years In that time he has been Outsid three times-twce orders from Washington, H. has really had but one vacation. He has three time left his Division to help other Judges in their Div slons. He is known from one end of his Diyisio to another very hard working official. One Ae was ordered to visit the Department at Washing ton after he had called a term the District Coul and caused juroros and witnesses to be suplmoned. II wired the Department, protesting against leaving hi work representing that to leave that time woul cost the Government $20,000 $25, ,000 and caus lot of inconvenience to the people, Itigants anC lawyers of his section. His request was granted an he remained the job
 The Alaska District Judges have set a very hig standard for faithfulness to the public service II 1act' they ought to have more vacations than the take-they are entitled to under the law an, regulations that their employment The situa ton would be improved for all concerned if an exr Judge given the Territory
