Mr. Madden
The line of my life has crossed that of Owney
Madden and what know of him, outside OF newspaper
reports leaves rather Indifferent He is SAID to be
generous and powerful and he is racketeer ne
must be picturesque the other hand hears that
he is far from being bg shot-that there is an even
bigger shot in the background In comparison with
many others Mr. Madden does not appear to be an un-
desirable citizen.
! Where's Danger?
But it has recently transpred that desirable not,
Mr. Madden is not citizen at all, and the moment
this discovered action taken to deport him.
It can't be done. The law protects Mr.. Madden even
if he flouts the laW for the dignity of legal system
am glad this is so. What rritates has nothing to
do with Mr.. Madden at ALL It is only abstract idea
about the dozens of who have been deported from
America although they have committed overt crime
and whose only sin lack of enthusiasm for some
of the laws under which Mr.. Madden flourishes.
The first duty of State, said Spinoza is to protect
ITSELF and obv ously it justified in protecting itself
by keeping out those whose practices endanger the
State. But might be more intelligent in finding out
where the real danger lies.

Dim0nd Leaves After Campaign Talk

Last Saturday night A. J. Di' mond made his appearance be- fore a small gathering in the Coliseum Theatre and addressed himself to several issues of the primary campaign in which he was a candidate for nomination as Delegate to Congress in the Democratic party.
 He made a fine, clean speech that was said by a good Demo- crat ito be perfectly harmless. He confined himself to general ties and spoke for about twenty minutes. He made favorable im- pression on some while he lost ground in other directions.
 Following the speech, MT. Di- mond boarded the chartered boat on which his party arrived and went on to Wrangell.

Mooney Denied
 His Freedom

Gov. James Rolph, IT,, of Cali fornia has refused to pardon Thomas J. Mooney, labor leader convicted for bombing in San Francisco during the Prepared ness Parade of 1916. Attention of the United States has been focused upon this case which is without parallel in history save the infamous case against Lieut.. Drefus, Jewish officer in the French Army accused of betray- ing French military secrets to Germany.
 Every witness for the prose- cution in this case has been dis credited and it has been quite definitely shown that Mooney was convicted on prejured testi- mony. A picture of Mooney and wife on top of a building shows a clock in the distance indicat- ing a time of day when it was impossible for Mooney to have left the place, travelled the sev- eral blocks through a damned crowd and perpetrate the out rage with which he was charged This picture was not permitted as evidence in the case. The trial judge has long since ex' pressed it his belief that Moon ey was railroaded into prison il order that the labor movement in California might be discre- cited.
 Labor demonstrations are an nounced for May Day in Wash ington and other cities.

Dept. Head
 In Juneau

l Dr. w. Carson Ryan, Chief o1
 the Educational Department o1
 the U. s. Indian Bureau arrived in Juneau this week to cOnfe, with Charles w. Hawkesworth about matters relating to the department. It is believed that Dr. Ryan will make his final re- commendation for Chief of the Departments activities in Alas ka. MT. HawkesWorth has been acting Chief for the past year or so.
 All pressure possible has been brought to bear by the Indian |people affected to have MT. Kawkesworth appointed. It is reared before the last legisla- ture to speak on the education system in Alaska, is lined up for the position. If the matter were left to the decision of the people most effected, MT. Hawk esworth would be the unanimous choice of the people who have come to learn to love and respect him for the part he has played in their educational develop ment.
 Dr. Anderson is said to be a good man, a graduate of Stan ford and Dr. Ray Lyman, Secre- tary of the Interior-President of Stanford University, it would appear that politically Dr. An~ derson is on the inside track for appointment. Word from Washington indicated that tha Department is not favorable to MT. Hawkesworth.
 Regardless of any action of the department, the work O. MT. Hawkesworth will remain appreciated and it will take many moons for the new chief to attain the love and respect of the people among whom he must labor.

 The Council and Mayor Lock en are urging every citizen to get back of the town in it's effort to be the town beautiful.

School Thespians
 In 'MeIerdran1a'

The hustle and hustle of a modern newspaper office will be exemplified on the stage of the Coliseum on May 9th by mem bers of the Senior Class when Hot Copy" a three act comedy by Clark Willard, has it's local permiere.
 All the clements that go to make an evening of genuine en- tertainment are said to be com b;ned in this refreshing and novel play of newspaper life. Woven into the lines are many clever situations which no one but a newspaper man himself would ever be able to portaay.
 In the writing of this play the author has created an ideal vehicle for high school groups in that the characters are all of the age of the persons interpret ing the roles. The play abounds with snappy comedy and tense situations leading to a thrilling climax in the third act which falls on municipal election day when every wide awake Ameri- can town is Ion the go."
 Out of respect for the news paper industry, about which the story concerns itself, the Senior Class has dedicated the produc- ton to the newspapers of Petersburg and the people con- nected with them.
