USURPATION OF COURl'S
The Daily Alaskan commented yes
terday upon the disposition of Ameri
can courts to usurp powers that do not
belong to them of right. The follow
ing, in the chaste English and unan
swerable logic of Senator Patterson,
editor of the Rocky Mountain News, of
Denver, in wh;ch paper it was first
published, taken from the American
Press, a weekly paper for newspaper
men published at New York, which
seconds it, is directly in point:
"Thinking men long ago concluded
that if this country shall ever lose its
liberties it shall be through the judi
ciary. The encroachments of the
courts upon the fundamental principles
of popular government have been rapid
and marked, and in some states they
are proceeding with accelerated sp&ed.
"The power conferred upon the courts
to undo the work of both legislatures
and the people is the kernel of the
danger. This, I acked by the power to
punish whoever may critize them in an
unfriendly spirit, as for contempt,
makes them antagonists of the people
when they assume to assault their
rights, not only formidable, but almost
unconquerable. They are the last re
sort for whatever comes within their
jurisdiction, and if they are without
jurisdiction they may usurp it. There
is no appeal from any wrocg they com
mit except to the people themselves.
The judiciary is the one department of
the government that may indict, try
and convict for real or imaginary of
f.nses against what it terms its 'dig
nity.' The court is not only 'imper
iuin in imperio," but it is the 'the
state' itself, the only higher tribunal
being 'the Deople.'
"And what is a court? It Is an or
ganization of men? plaiD, ordinary men
? with the weaknesses and ambitiors
of other men. A man who is weak,
vain or corrupt before he reaches the
bench will, in all probability, be weak,
vain and corrupt on the bench. Uus
uaily the selection of judges is the peo
ple's work, but not infrequently public
atTairsso shape themselves that men
without conscience and with private
ends to serve succeed in foistiDg tools
upon the bench, and when there their
record is one of servility and entails re
proach.
? ? ? # ?
"If there is one department of the
government, more than another, that
should receive the scrutiny of the pub
lic press it is the judiciary. The tre
mendous power it possesses for good or
evil: its unrestrained and unrestrain
able power except by the people, all
demand that upon proper occasions and
especially when dealing with matters
of public concern, it sbou'd be frankly,
fairly, but above everything else, fear
lessly critic:sed? not in a spirit of per
socal animosity, but having in mind
the highest good of the state and for
th ? preservation of the true dignity
and influence of just and honorable
courts. The journal is cowardly and a
traitor to the cause of justice and the
pet pie which, conscious that grave
wr jngs have been committed by courts,
wi! , through fear of prison bars or
he; vy fine, or both, remain silent or
en izi the wrong with less than manly
fra kness.-'
The only peopla in Alaska who real|y
a_c sintertly oppose the interference
of cutside influence in the government
of -Alaska are those who favor territori
gov rnmsnt. With self-government
the people who live in Alaska, those
wliii pay the taxes and who are engaged
in act a a ly developing the dlstric' ,
would have full say as to his manage
ment.
At the present time Juneati has no
more to say than a deaf and dumb asy
lum in the affairs of Alaska. Give us
territorial governxent and its influence
could be very powerful? more so than
that of any other town 'n the district.
Juneau's worst enemies are the tories
within her own borders'.
GLACIER CACSEo
mm STAMPtDE
A glacier formed on the watei front
in Indian town by the overflow of water
from the creek running down the side
of the hill from the reservoir of the
Northwest Light and Power Company,
has forced the Indians to abandon theii
houses in that vicioity and to move far
ther down the track of the W. P. & Y.
K. The mountains of ice ^threaten to
overwhelm the houses.
The Pack Train Restaurant will I

GOOD TEST
C.?ld Snap Tries Out Skas;
way Water Plaut
The cold snap that terminated ear'y I
tL's morning 'baa given the Skagway !
m inicipal water system a rather rigid
test, and it has stood up under it in a
maaner that testifies to the wisdom of
those who planned it and carries it to a
successful consumatlon. George W.
Dillon, who has charge of the water
system under the water works commit
tee of the council and the council itsel',
says every hydrant worked during the
entire cold snap with the same celerity
and the same pressure that would be
obtained in August.
It la also noticed that the service
pipes in those houses that are connected
with the city system have had little dif
ficulty. The power plant In the Daily
Alaskan office has been on tap every
day of the winter. There has been no
time wasted in thawing it out, and the
fires have been permitted to die out each
night.
It the municipal water system shall
withstand the remainder of the winter
and maintain the same degree of efficieu
cy that it has thus far maintained it
will have proved that it is worth its
cost.

Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh
Unless Hands Were Tied? Wasted
to a Skeleton? Awful Sufferingfor
Over a Year? Grew Worse Under
Doctors? Skin Now Clear,
WOULD HAVE DIED
BUT FOR CUTICURA.
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
coma out on his face. I had a phy
Bii'uui urai inui,
but the sores grew
worse. Then they
began to come on
his arms, then on
other parts of his
body, and then one
came on his chest,
?worse than the
others. Then I call
ed another physi
can. still he grew worse. At trie ena
of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tie his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
acratching thesores and tearing the flesh.
"He got to be a mere skeleton, and
Kas hardly able to walk. My Aunt
advised me to try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. So great was her faith in
it that she gave me a small piece of
Soap to try and a little of the Oint
ment. I took it home without any
faith, but to please her I tried it, and
it seemed to dry up the sores a little.
"I sent to the drug store and got a
cake of the Soap and a box of the
Ointment and followed the directions,
and at the end of about two months
the sores were all well. He has
never had any sores of any kind since.
> "He is now strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely say that only for ,
your most wonderful remedies my j
precious child would have died from |
those terrible sores. I used only one
cake of Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Eg
