THS CASE OF JUDGE SNYDER
So far as concerns the justice of the
reference to Gov. Hoggatt land the em
ployment of i "he military at Treaawell
made by the Wrangell Sentinel, wblch
resulted in the removal of Judge A. V.
K. Snyder, of W ran cell, from the office
of United Slates commissioner at that
place, the Daily Alaskan has nothing to
*ay, at this time, except that it has had
no in'ormation that would warmer, the
re-publication of the offending item
which was cut from the Sentinel and
has lain on the editor's desk for many
weeks; howbeit, that the newspapers at
Juneau have not shown facts that would
make a proper foundation for the act of
the United States marshal in asking
for the aid of the army. Being with
out all the facts of the case and not
belag in position to secure them the
Dally Alaskan ha* given the officers
who are presumed to know their duty
and who are under oath to perform it
the benefit of all doubt, and it assumes
that their acts were warranted by the
conditions and the law.
But this is not tne point. Considered
from any standpoint, the removal of
Judge Snjder was unwarranted and
tyrannical. Be was appointed to office
with the Knowledge that he was a news
paper editor anj publisher, and he waa
continued in offica notwithstanding
toat be continued to edit and participate
in the pub.icatioa of his paper after
hi* appoiatmeit. 11 a right, therefore,
CO conduct bis paper as a free press in
his own way was official. y recognized,
and in all reason it shouid h.ve been
respected. He had every right to have
bis newspaper and his editorial duties
coos.dereti separate and apart from his
official position, and the taking of hia
official scaip because he? In exercising
his right as the editor of a fr*e press to
express his opinion upon a matter that
is puslic m its nature and a proper sub
ject for criticism? said things that are
distasteful to Gov. Hoggatt and Judge
Gunnison is an outrage on every princi
ple of law and decency.
We are assuming, of courte, that
Judge Snyder was within his legal
rights when he published the article in
question, otherwise the proceedings
against him would have been under the
law,
THE EXPLANATION
Commenting upon a Skagway dis
patch saving ibat the Whitehors9
challenge cup would be defended by
Skagway July 4tb as per the 'terms Jo?
the agreement that had been signed by
the captains of the base bill teams com
peting for it, which provided that the
cup should be played for on a national
holiday or a dav celebrated for such an
occasion, the J unean Disoatch asks:
"Why did Skagway offer to put cup
up last September when th? Juneau
team was scheduled to go north and
play for it?"
The manager of the Skagway tetm
offered to put up the cup last fall for
the reason that he was not at the time
familiar with with terms of the agree
ment under which his team had won it
and successfully defended it at White
horse and this place. It was the
same misunderstanding that caused the
suggestion that the cup had become the
permanent property of Skagway be
cause it had been won and successfully
defecded for a y< ar.
It will be seen by our cable report
that Hon frank Waskey has appeared
in Seattle and is still playing on the
tame old fiddle with the one string,
vis., se:f-goverjment. ? Juneau Record
Miner.
If the Record-Miner editor would
scan his exchanges c.osely ha would
discover that Mr. W askey talked about
the only live issue in Alaska when he
returned to Saftttie. Srlf-governmtnt
seems like an "old fiddle" to none but
a few Juneau Tories.
It !? quite clear that if Gov. Hoggatt
had the power he would "PenoypacL
er" all the newspapers in Alaska. It
is also quite clear that if the people of
Alaska had the enjoyment of tbe same
civil rights as those of Pennsylvania,
tbey would retire him as the Pennsyl
?anians retired Fennypecker ? and
with even lew ceremony.
Tho growing' conviction In New York
'hat William K. Hearst will win out
in that election contest is causing
another boom In Hearst stock. Well,
William J. Bryan can say, at least,
that he always spoke pleasantly of
Hearst, even when it appeared that the
editor was on the floor and being count
ed out.
The disposition of the city council to
get to the bottom of this water- works
and electric lighting proposition before
it acts is ccramendable. There is little
likllhoodot anything being entered In
to blindly.
The Humboldt arrived yesterday
WITHOUT three days' mails that were
lying in toe Seattle postofflce when she
saild from that place.
So Jusiioa Mill* at Skagvaj
Skagway is without a mill of jus' ice
now. Judge H. B. Le Fevre, of the
United States commissioner's court,
and Judge J. M. Tanner of the munic
ipal court, left on the Humboldt for
Juneau In response to summonses to
appear as witnesses before the grand
jury.
