LYONS TO BE JUDGE.
Today's dispatches from Washing
ton, D. C., indicate that in all prob
ability Thomas Lyous of Juneau will!
succeed Judge Koyal A. Gunnison as
judge of the First judicial division.
Lyons' name has not yet been con
tinued by congress but oppositiou to
his appointmeut is hardly likely to
develop.
Thomas Lyous is a shrewd audi
able lawyer. He has resided in Alas
ka for some years and is thoroughly 1
conversant with the needs of the
country and our peculiar mining laws
which have proved a stumbling block
to so rnauy eastern lawyers. Several
years ago Lyons was assistant L*. S.
attorney for the First judicial division
of Alaska, and for part of his incum
beuev was acting l". S. attorney. At
that time he proved himself an ener
getic and consciencious official.
There is no doubt that Lyous has
the requirements for the office he had
been selected to fill. His appoiutmei^
would give general satisfaction in the
First division were it not for his un
fortunate affiliations, for he has been
band in glove with Gov. Hoggatt and
his clique. If Lyons can disregard
these affiliations, he has the ability to
make a creditable record as judge. It
is to be hoped that he has the good
sense anil honesty to do this. His
personality inclines us to the belief
that he will.
At all events it is a welcome relief
to see an Alaskan appointed as a
judge in Alaska. It predicates an end
to the "carpet bag" regime.
GUNNISON DESERVES CREDIT.
Koyal A. Gunnison has probably fai*
?-d to be re-appointed as judge of tht I
First judicial divisiou of Alaska. It ;
is understood, however, that he will
return to Alaska and practice his pra
fession. He has made many friends
in the First division who will welcom
this decision.
Judge Gunnison is a comparatively :
young man and lacks legal experience
but even his worst enemies have 1
neVv-r questioned the inflexible hones
ly of the man. His personal and of
filial integrity have always been a
bovc suspicion. For this fact ;Jont
he has endeared himself to the com
mon people of this division.
The Alaskan Judiciary have not a!
ways worn spotless ermine and more
than one* in the brief history of the
territory crave scandals have dls
graced the bench. But Gunnison set
a high standard which has educated
public opinion so that his successor i
will be forced to follow it. For this i
he deserves gratitude.
Gunnison can leave the bench know
lag that he has made an honorable,
record and with the knowledge that
lie has a host of personal friends.
CRIBBED UNCLE JOE
Joseph G. Cannon is re-elected
Speaker of the House of Represent
atives, and incident to that re-election
there have been some changes in th>
rules. The radical changes demanded,'
or rather the motion for the selection
of a committee for revision and cod
ification of the House rules, did not
prevail. In other words, the cribbing
of Mr. Cannon and the clipping of his
wings was a tame affair; a bloodies
victorj' which we fancy will amount
but little whien the indomitable will
and the iron hand of the Speaker as
sumes sway. Yet it is something to
know that there has been a show of
opposition to the autocracy that for s
long a time has served whatever pur
po?e it would without reference to th ^
advancement of legislation which the
country needed and demanded.
The arbitrary character of Speaker
ship domination is due fully as much
to the personality of .Mr. Canuou as ,
to the rules themselves, tie has been
careful to surround himself with a
corps of lieutenants who. In their cap
acity as legislators, are identified withi
those interests which .Mr. Cannon In
variably seeks to protect. They know
his bidding and they know how to do
it. Without exception, they are men
of experience and ability who are main
tained in their official positions at
Washington by fidelity to those who
seek favors, either directly or indirect
ly, by National legislation. The orgaa
ization under which these men act is
perfect, and the result is that meas
ures calculated to disturb what special!
interest has gained and regards as
vested rights Is cleverly checked, sino
thered or sidetracked.
It may be that the new arrange
ment will check the process some
what, but there is yet no satisfactory
evidence that any great reform ha<j
bten accomplished. ? Portland Tele
