THE COURT AND THE PUBLIC
Since Judge Gunnison not through
with the Leake divorce esse it is being
tried over in the Juneau papers. To
say the least the papers are showing
very bad taste- While the Daily Alas
kan agrees thst the press has a right
to discuss the motives of a court and
its eompetecce, it is a right that should
be exercised with the greatest care and
oniy when the public good requires it. \
The newspaper editor should never!
forget that the judge of the court is
under oath: that before he decides a
case he hears tbe evidence, . the law is
expounded to him ami he considers both
as a sworn official. His opportunities
ior knowing the facta and understand
ing the law applicable >o them are bet- 1
ter than those of the journalist.
Also the newspaper should take into]
account that the courts of appeal are
open to litigants. If they feel that
injustice is done them it were better
that they fight it out there than in the
press or on the street corner.
Of course, if a court is corrupt, or
unduly partisan or so incompetent that
the rights of the public are in danger,
it is not only tbe right but the duty of
tbe newspaper to lay the facts clearly
before a candid public and to make
tuch comment as the facts .teem to war
rant. Also a newspaper is well within
it> rights when discussing tbe acts of a
court insofar as they concern the public
in general? as. for instance, anything
with reference to the court terms, the
procedure in all its phases, etc, etc.
But they should be careful not to at
tempt to influence courts or to cheapen
their judgments by indiscriminate dis
cussion They should, with the excep
tions noted and then only when sure of
their ground, content themselves with
tae unbiased publication of the court!
news.
ABOUT THE VIEWPOINT
The torv press it watching the battle !
between Alaska's elected reprejenta-|
tives acu the appointed governor and
speculating upon the probabilitie, of
success for one side or the other
as it that would lettle the wisdom
or foolishness of tne attitude of the
delegates to congress. The fact
that the delegates, facing the
opposition of a strong machine and a
strong lobby, are battling for their
constituents and striving with ail their
abilities to secure the things for which
the platform jpon which they were
elected, appeals them not at all. The
merit in a qublic servant's keeping
faith with toose whom he serves is
unrecognizable by them.
The news that the Conrad mines are
to resume operations and the return of
Capt. John Irving with the cheering
news that there will be extensive
developments in more Whitehorse
copper properties will help to usher in
the new year under conditions that
will be very satisfactory to Skag?ay,
Whitehorse. Caribou, Conrad and other
ulaces in this vicinity.
VAN GIVES AN
EXCELLENT SHOW
The moving picture show given by
Harry A. Van at Elks' ball last night
was excellent, full meeting the claims
in the advertising matter. It was the
best moving picture show tha: has ever
been put on at Skagway
K.Iks' hall was filled and the audience
was generous with its applause.
Harry A. Van will leave on the Dol
phin for Wrangell and Ketchikan.
He promises to return to Skagway
in the spring.
