Court Proceedings

County Judge Trabue has been
pretty busy of late. On Friday, he
had before him Luke Ivey, who was
arraigned on two charges-carryin
concealed weapons and using profane
and Indecent language in a public
place. The former charge was not
proved, but the latter resulted in his
conviction with fine of $500 and
costs. The offence was committed on
the Fourth. Another offence com
mitted on that day was an assault
with an umbrella made by a visiting
woman upon her daughter-in-law. A
cash was cut in the younger woman's
scalp, from which much blood flowed,
covering her white clothing and max
ing her rather shocking spcctacl
The offender was before the Judge
Monday morning, when it appeared
that it was family fuss, the younger
woman and her father refusing to
prosecute and the elder expressing
deep regret at the occurrence. Thi,
moved the judge to impose a light
penalty of $500 and costs. On
Monday morning, also, his honor i

Pineapple Season in Full Blast

The pineapple season is now in full
blast, so to speak, and shipments are
being made daily. The acreage
planted is not sufficient to yield fruit
in carload quantities. and only lot
shipments are being made. These
pineapples are absolutely the finest
in the world, and they bring good
prices, but freight, m m i S on
charges, to say nothing of the cost
of production, of picking, packing
and hauling to the railway station,
amount to half of the price for which
they are sold. Owing to their super
iority and the limited production, the
demand greatly exceeds the supply.

then fed to the forest and has not
yet been app' ehended. The cause of
the CRIME is unknown. No one, save
Spells and his wife, was present when

shots attracted the attention of peo-
pie some twenty rods distant, and
they saw the woman run out of the
cabin with the man following and
firing. The coroner's jury was COM
posed of the following: Charles G.
Cochran, George Whitlock, William
Hill, Towles P. Douglass, James S.
Golf and Leslie Lewis.

Rumors about the OIdsmar oil well
are flying thick and fast. Some day
the drillers have struck oil and are
going deeper in the expectation of
getting larger yield, but they can
go back to that strata any time and
get a producing well. Others say
the drillers would be unwise to bring
in producer until after they build
oil storage tanks to save the petro-
leum, or construct a pipeline to the
docks of the oil tank steamers at
Port Tampa.

FOLD WORLD IS BREAKING UP"

Ernest Shackelton, the famous polar explor- CT, said on his return from his last expedition that he felt 'that the world is breaking up in sections Take England, for example; there are fine royalties all over the place, but they are sectional or class loyalties; she doesn't give one the sense of community bound to- gether in a single all-comprehending loyalty. Duty seems to be more and more class word less and less a national word. l should have thought the war would have drawn the nation close together. I should have thought the needs of the country, after such a visitation, would have given to the word duty Nelsonic ring a national unselfishness. But l don't think that is so On the contrary, one feels that the central pull on conscience has ceased. People are openly quite selfish and frivolous. There's no 'one clear call for the individual. It's a go-as-you- please scramble for self-in- diligence At any time such spirit is danger ous but after so great a war, and in world so shaken up and impoverished as that which has survived from the war, such spirit seems to invite calamity.'

JUDGE TAFT CRITICISED
 FOR CONSTANT PRESENCE
 AT TABLES OF IDLE RICH

WASHINGTON, April 27. - Chief Justice William Howard Taft, of the United States Supreme Court, was sharply criticised in the Senate a day or two ago by Senator Norris, Repub- lican, of Nebraska, who stated that Taft was hobnobbing at too many so- cial functions with the idle rich.
 "No. man." said MT. Norris, "can stick his legs under the tables of the idle rich every night and be fit to sit in judgment the next day on those who toil."
 The Senator further declared that the social activities of Washington City are seriously affecting public bus mess.

PRESIDENT UTTERS WARNING
. RESIDENT Harding, in his recent ad

H RESIDENT Harding, In h1s recent ad-
 dress before the Calvary Baptist church
 Bible class at Washington, D. C., said:
 ''There is good deal of loose talk nowa- days about the cause of the spiritual demora- ization of the community, which it has become popular to attribute to the abnormal condl- tions that were incident to the But in fact the war is not wholly to blame. Before the war started OF was determined of we were already realizing the tendency toward a certain moral laXity, shifting of standards, a weakning of the sterner flores.
 ''I think we should do well to recognize that these tendencies are not mere momen- tary incident, but serious phase in the in tellectual and moral evolution of the communi- ty. It would be a grievous error to allow our selves to feel too confident that this is only a temporary and passing aspect.
 ''Ta1e for example the matter of regard for the law. Without giving too much weight to ala1mist expressions, we must nevertheless recognize that there is a very apparent tend ency to lighter and more frivolous view of the citizens relations to both the state and the church. We can hardly hope for a restor- ation of the old ideals in religion and in moral conduct, so long as the tendency of disregard for the law shall continue'

CORDOVA'S INVITATION SHOULD BE
 ACCEPTED

There should be general acceptance of the invitation of the Cordova Chamber of Com 1nerce to send delegates to that town to meet there July for the purpose of forming an Al-Alaska Chamber of Commerce. There should be closer connections between commun- ities of Alaska and more team work in behalf of the Territory. If the business men of all sections of the North would keep in touch with each other many things for the common good could be accomplished. In union and cooper ation there is strength. Opinion may be prac- tically unanimous but if it is not backed up by organized action it may be futile.
 It would be fine thing if evey coast town could have a half dozen or more delegates at Cordova-and there should be just as gener- ous a representation of the Interior-Juneau Empire.

"TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT
 EVERYWHERE"

H. Gordon Selfridge, proprietor of Self ridges, the big London department store, arrived in New York the other day on his way to California. "Just now," he said, "there is too much government everywhere, too much taxes and too many enterprises being carried on by government bureaus Many of these should be carried on by private individuals. Remember, the money used for these enter prises is the peoples money and has to be furnished by taxation. Put these things back where they belong and the result would be that taxation would be reduced and every body except the office holders would be satis- fled. That government operation rarely is made to pay is shown by the Glasgow tram ways. These tramways are being operated in arrears and the deficit supplied from the Glasgow treasury. ,

CRAFT RAMPANT AT WASHINGTON

Representative Blanton of Texas has eX- posed a system of alleged grand larceny graft by many of the members of Congress, per haps by all of them, certainly by all Tn the sense of connivance, that will give the average citizen, Henry Dub, bolshevikish feeling of disgust and indignation. For his temerity ln exposing the alleged wholesale graft under the dome of the capitol Representative Blan- ton narrowly escaped expulsion from Con- gress He had to fight hard to keep his seat, In this he was silly He should have accepted expulsion, becoming a public martyr, going then over the country telling the people ot what is going on in our alleged national acad- cmy of crime.
 There are honest men in Congress- of course, perhaps quite a few, but they are in mlnon- tv, as conditions show, and all of them deserve recall for submitting to such alleged infamous graft.
 The people generally do not know that the members of Congress are grafters. Ii they find the charge true, as alleged by Mir. Blan- ton, what will they do about 1t? Will they rise in wrath, or renominate the grafters! Ouen sabe? Our great mass of voters, typl- fled by Henry Dub, are like old Buck, the Ox
 A city man was travelling along a lonely road in the wilds of Arkansaw. He heard series of ear-piercing "screeks" that made his flesh creep. Directly he came upon a lanky native, driving a sullen, powerful OK hitched to a two-wheeled heavily loaded cart
 ''In the name of Mike! Stranger, why don't you spend ten cents for axle grease and grease the axles of that cart? It would end that awful noise and make it so much easier for your poor oX'
 The native halted the OK, gazed half a minute open-mouthed at his questioner, and half minute at the OK, and then he spat through his teeth at ground-squirrel sitting nearby and drawled:
 Aw-w-w, HE don't keer about it. HE don't KNOW.''

INDIGO DYE USED BY
 EGYPTIANS 1000 B. C.

LONDON, April 27.-German scien- lists have discovered that the navy blue" fashion of today was the vogue among the aristocracy of Egypt long before the days of Cleopatra.
 Dr. Rathegen, in the German Chem ical Newspaper, says a portion of an Egyption princesses's garment of the period about 1000 B. c. was submitted to a chemical anaylsis to test the col bring, and the presence of indigo-dye was detected.
 Several feminine household gods were examined, including a Babylon ian vase of glass and lingering made of tin, dating back to about 1000 B. c.
 It was found that the vase had been made by means of shaped mould of clay. the fluid glass being placed on the outside. The glass was opaque.
 Further examination of other articles revealed a high state of 1n- dustrial art among the Babylonians.
