THE VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.
Out of tho Great West comes this
gem of eulogy to modern newspapers.
At Boise. Idaho, says Newspapcrdom.
an okl. Illiterate and inebriated man
named Harry Warburton, stole a copy
of the Statesman from a subscriber s
door. He was arraigned before Jus
tice Davldgo for the offense and
pleaded guilty. Justice is sometimes
peculiarly affected by situations con
fronting it. and this seems to have
been where opportunity for a scathln
denunciation and the man "onto his
Job" met. The petty, miserable man
at the bar wits perhaps more com
pletely humiliated by the following
lecture than he could have possibly
had the limit of the law been gi\en
him.
"The offense with which you were
charged and to which you entered a
plea of guilty was that of larceny.
The punishment under our statute
might be a fine of *300 or six months
m Jail, or both. The market value
or the actual cost of the article that
you stole U most Insignificant, but
to those who need it and to those,
who appreciate it. It becomes of great
va'ue. It IS like a ray of light in a
sick room or a drop of water to a
thirsty flower. The modern up-to
date newspaper today is the poor
man", friend and the busy man's
guide.
"We may not be able to teach a
man of your age and habits to read|
it. but we will prevent you and others j
from depriving us of Us benefits. In
stealing it you enrich yourself not at
all. for you have no comprehension
or appreciation of the wide Informa
tion and friendly greeting and bene
fit that it brings. For, although a
jMty.lt Is true that a mau who has the
brass and abandonment to steal a
newspaper ha> not the brains to read
It.
"The newspaper comes to us as a
trlend; It greets us every morning and
evening and advises us of the news
of the day aud of the ships that pass
iu the night. There is no civilization
and no happy home in our land to
day without the newspaper.
"The prospector, the miner, the
herder, the forest rauger. and even
the criminal who is trying to escape
Justice will ride for miles and miles
over rough mountain trails to get from
the little wooden box nailed to a tree
the newspaper. It tells him of home
?nd friends and if all are well, it
tells him of sickness or of fortune
or of the condition of the market. It
la food and thought and Joy to him;
he welcomes it as his teacher and
his friend. It gives him and every
Intellectual man. woman and child a
sort of hand hold on the doings of the
day and the pulse of the country.
And yet you steal that little budget
of news and sell It, or trade it. or ex
change it. with all of Us teachings
and benefits, for a drink of whisky,
for that which only blights and de
stroys and brings more darkress and
more ignorance and shame.
"In all kindness. Warburton. and
?lncerely hoping that the experience
will be helpful to you and others. 1
will allow you to go your way. tor
we have no punishment commensur
ate with the offense. And as long as
rowvy and Justice go hand In hand.
It does to me, I am going to
you a larger measure of mercy than
Justice.
"1 hope your case may serve as a
lesson to others, for while you have
been let off easy other offenders will
not be dealt with so leniently. This
matter of stealing newspapers must
be stopped and this court will aid In
preventing acts of the nature which
has brought you Into court."

If Mrs. Taft is able to travel froin
Washington, D. C., to Seattle, it is
difficult to see just why her health
will uot stand a trip to Alaska, for
this is the excuse that the President
is pleading for his failure to come
north. Do the Tafts fear the risers
of our summer climate?
The suggestion made in The Alas
kan that an editorial association be
formed by the editors of the north
is meeting with favor. The benefits
to be derived from such an associa
tion are obvious.
If the Republican party dnrc-s to
pass a tariff bill which does not re
duce the schedules of the LMugley
bill there is going to be a political]
upheaval at the next presidential el
ection.

body iu Alaska should unite i:i peti
