NOT FAMOUS-INFAMOUS
Little did Francis J. Heney think six
years ago, when he undertook the de
fense of United States District Judge
Noyes in the circuit court, that this very
case would put him practically at the
head of graft prosecution today. Such,
however, is the case: and, If there had
been no J udge Noyes, no Alaska ring,
no spoiler* of the far north, it is more
than likely that Frank Heney would to
day be no more than the hundred and
one other successful lawyers of Califor
nia, his name unbla/oned by the maga
zine writers, his reputation circum
scribed by the confines of his own local
habitation ? Fairbanks News.
Mu.-h as the world knows of Frauds
J. Heney at the present time and great
ly as he is being lauded in certain quar
ters, the day will come when the con
viction will prevail that the world were
better to have known lets of him than
it does.
Sensational to an extent that would
not be attempted by the advance agent
of a footlight star; compromising with
felons to a decree that is nauseating to
meu who follow the honorable paths of
the legal profession, Francis Heney is
today as vainglorious in the limelight
of his successes as he was poltroon in
the hour when the blood of his de
fenseless Arizona victim smeared the
sidewalk in Tucson.
There should be no pride in hit hav
ing defended Judge Noyes? that dis
grace to the judiciary went in hand
and g!ove with Ale*. McKenzie to loot
Alaska and shoTed the white featherjat
a moment which caused the plan of
rob!> ry to fall through; afterwards he

attempted to cast the odium entirely '
upoa McKeozie, who, having obtained
a taste of the plunder, was man enough
to make a fight to got away with it. In
this Noyes' lawyer, Henoy, promised
McKeozie that he would deal fairly
with him, but he betrayed McKeozie.
Heney is no lawyer? when the learned
and gentlemanly Delmaa made his de
fense in the Telephone case* recently,
Henev, backed by tb? Battery Tough,
Detective Burn?, answered the conten
tions advanced by Delmaa, not with
legal lore, but with threats to "beat
up" the lawyer on the other aide.
The News is mistaken. It was noi
Alaska that made Francis J. Heney.
The day that Heney wantonly shot to
death the Tucson doctor In Arizona he
whs made? yes, made that all the world
might kcow him as om who
rightfully shou'd be ehuoned, leper like,
for having premeditatedly picked up
the brand of Cain, but not. made to be
blazoned in magazines and heralded to
\
fame.
A HIDDEN CORNER OF ALASKA
The discovery of gold-bearing pla
ers ami lodes in Alaska, the building of
railroads, the organization of steam
ship companies and the multiplication
of political offices there, have given
Ameiicans the impression that the ter
ritory had been thoroughly explored,
not to say exploited, says the Cleveland
Plaindealer.
The story which Dr. George B. Gor
don, of Philadelphia, brings back shows
bow inaccurate this belief is. Dr. Gor
don is a member of the faculty of the
University of Pennsylvania. Six
months ago he Denetrated a district
which even the widest ranging of the
prospectors had not entered.
His discoveries were most interesting.
Be found a tribe of Indians living along
Koskokwim river which hud never be^
fore looiced upon a white man. They
are a simple, industrious race, free
from cimes and utterly untainted by
the vices which civilization has p)unt<d
Among the other Indians of the coun
try. In many ways thoy are unique as '
Alaskans. They wear no furs, but
their garments are made of the soft
breasts of wild fowl. Instead of bas
j kets they make pottery. Dr. Gordon
' concludes that they are the remnants of
: the most anoUnt dweller# In Alaska.
| *Ao ex imtDation of the latest maps
j available led cates some vagueness as
to the Ko*kokwlm river. It would
seem to drain a land which has Dot at
tracted other adventurers or the geo
logical survey people.
Only by comparison with other stales
nd territories can one grasp the im
mensity of Alaska. Climate and diffi
culty of transportation may close groat
tracts to exploration for maDy years to
come. It is not an unlikely surmise
that some gold seeker may uncover
wealth In new Qelds that will rival the
Klondike district.
It was the searcher for quick fortune
who developed several districts in Alas
ka to their present prosperity. The
trader and th farmer have followed in
his steps.
On the other nand, the absence of
gold maj serve to protect Dr. Gordon's
aborigines and save them from the
early extinction which now threatens
all the native Alaskans who are in close
contact with the whites.
AS IT SHOULD JE
The following, taken from the El
Reno, Okla., Herald, truthfully s'ates
1 the positions of newspapers generally:
A newspaper is the business which
furnishes the proprietor a means of
livelihood, just as that of a merchant,
mechanic, manufacturer or farmer.and,
like these, he must conduct his business
so as to insure a reasonable income.
This Is his first duty.
Neither, the city, the county nor the
state has any just claim upon an inch
of space lo his paper any more than
they have lo the merchant's goods, the
prof ssional man's time or the mechan
ic's labor.
No political p?rty or enndidate has
an- just claim upon him or his paper
cxcept that for which he gets remuner
ation, and the newspaper fraternity do
themselves a gross injustico by spend
ing money, using their onergy and
brain power boosting men and
cities and states for merely the praise
they may receive from politi
cians and the other Interests reoeiving
it* aid.
Merchants, lawyers, doctors, mechan
ics, day laborer* and farmers do not
freely give to the public or to indi
viduals the truit of their toil, and why
should a newspaper publisher when
every word written, every typeset,
the paper used and the labor involved
In the publication means cash paid out
by the publisher for the benefit of
the city, county, state, nation and in
dividuals boosted into any lucrative
position?
Tho time must and will c >me when
the newspaper business will be a purely
commercial business and when that
time does arrive the world will hpve a
better idea what it costs to run a nows
paper.
Every editorial and local notice ap
pearing in a newspaper is an advertise
ment in some degree of the community
in which it is published and should be
so considered.
Then again, those Juneau delegates
who quit the convention may have bad
a tip in advance that the rent for he
hall was not paid and thought it better
to walk out th?n to wait and possibly
be thrown out.
Harry K. Thaw is making a fight to
be allowed tho use of the Tombs Corri
dor for exerciso. Even at that, h9 is
sticking up for his constitutional rights.
After all, judging from the amount of
racket it madd, the Juneau convention
could more properly be classed as a
wake
