A QUESTION OE RIGHTS
The arrest of a contractor in Seattle
yesterdiy for accusing: the court of his
county with corruption bring* to the
front a practice that Is altogether too
common. That is the freedom with
which dissatisfied people accuse others
of being guiltv of crime. It is a free
quent thing to hear a street-corner
statesman to charge one or another of
the public officials or someone else who
is in a position of responsibility with
being a bribe-^aker, or of some other
kind of corruption, when, if the truth
were known, it would be discovered
that he talked absolutely without
knowledge and proably without any
reasonable ground for suspicion. If the
law were enforced and these men
brought into court for slander they
would probably make pitiable exhibi
tions of themselves and often pay a law
ful pena'.ty for their wrong doing.
The mm who falsely accuses another
of a crime, or who makes charges
against him of a criminal nature at ran
dom, is, by that act, guilty of a
crime worse, usually, than would oe that
of his enemy if the accusations were
true.
There is one other thing, of quite a
different nature, suggested by the ar
rest Of Mr. Riley for contempt of court,
and one that is a menace w tbe Uber"
ties of the American people. That is
the disposition of our courts to usurp
.uthoritv, to assume the functions of
court and jury, and often of the legis
lature itself. It has become so in the
United States that a man who criticises
a court must answer for his criticism to
the very court criticised. Just imagine,
if you please, what kind of proof
would be required of Mr. Riley to es
tablish to the judicial satisfaction of
the court he has accused that he, the
accused, is a bribetaker. It places the
coart in a position that he must find Mr.
Riley guilty of contempt, or admit that
he himself, is a Mioundre', and shou'd
be removed from office. Instances are
no: Uck ng where American courts have
arogated to themselves more power
than h?s been excised by the most
despotic monarch of recent times. Just
a few weeks ago Senator Pat^rson, of
Colorado, was fiued 91,000 for criticising
the supteme court of Colorado, the fine
bei g imposed by those whom he crit
icised. When arraigned Senator Pat
tern admitted full responsibility fur
the att:cles n his paper that were com
phined of. He declined an opportuni
ty to apo'ogize for them.said he beli ved
they were true, and offered to submit
h;s proofs. He was summ.rily adjudged
guilty of contempt. When asked if he |
had anything 10 say as to why sentence j
sbt uld not be impostd, he made one of
the mos*. eloquent speeches of his life,
an ' one of the strongest, in condemning
the tendency of courts to claim powers
to vhicb no authority is entitled in a
free country.
Sir. Riley should be he!d sriclly ac
c h n'aMe for the words he has uttered
an.i he and every other man accused of
a e.ime, th# proof of which It TOVisj
questions of f ON shoul 1 be given
the right of a trial by a juiy. Anything
less than either of these propositions is
incompatible with the institu ions of a
free country.
The activity of Seattle people in rep
resenting themselves as Alaskans in
making this recommendation and that
to congress about the laws that should
be made for this district and the men
apiwinted to execute them is one more
proof of the need of transferring the
sea*, of lawmaking and government for
AU^ka from Washington to some town
in tie district.
It is now said Gov. Brady will be
asked to resign. Gov. Bvdy doe. not
always do what he is asked to do. Sup- 1
pose he shall refuse? The toboggan? |

Even the Post-Intelligencer was
made to sicken by the showing made
by H. H. Rogers on the witness stand.
It goes so far as to say Rogers acted
very much as though the things told
about him by Law son were true. He
was apparently so ashamed of the
Standard Oil combination acd his con
nection with it that he would tell noth
of it, and then he ran when they tried
to take his picture. He was much
more like a naughty boy than the great
man of finance, he was supposed to be.
Judge Wickersham would make an
excellent governor.
BREAK UP
Carr Quits Nye Because of
Conveution
Gen. E. M. Carr, formarly of the law
firm of Carr & Preston, of Seattle, has
dtssolved partnership with K. V. Nye,
in the law ffrm of Carr & Nye, at Fair
banks, on account of the attitude of
Nye in the Alaska convention, held
here recently, says the Post- Intelli
gencer.
In a telegram to a personal friend in
Seattle Gen. Carr asks that the disso
lution of partnership with Nye be an
nounced, and says that the course adopt
ed by Nye was entirely unwarranted.
Nye was one of the bitterest oppon
ents to Carl M. Johanson, who was the
choice of the Tanaua valley for dele
gate to represent Alaska at Washing
ton. The oppositiou of Nye was due to
the fact that Johanson was a strong
friend of Judge W'ickersham. Gen.
Carr atd Ji dge Wickersham have been
close friends for a number of years, and
shortly after Carr's arrival at Fairbanks
he was appointed court commissioner
by the judge.

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
coma out on hi9 face. I had a phy
sician treat him,
but the sores grew
?worse. Then they
begun to come on
his arms, then on
other parts of his
body, and then one
came on his chest,
^ worse than tha
others. Then I call
ed another physi
clan, stiu he grew worse. At tne 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
scratching the sores and tearing the flesh .
"He got to be a mere skeleton, and
was 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,
i "He is now strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my
Srecious child would have died from
lose terrible sores. I used only one
cake of Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Eg
