The renomination of Judge
Thomas M. Reed as judge of c
the District Court for the First .
Division has created general; ‘
satisfaction throughout the j.
district. Press and public are i
unanimous in the view that his .
reappointment has been well I
earned. He has filled the high- 1
ly difficult and exacting posit- s
ion in a thoroughly capable, '
conscientious and fearless i
« manner that well entitles him
to receive first consideration
at the hands of those to whom
is given the duty of selecting
the officials who shall preside
over the administration of law
and justice in the Territory. :
His renomination is a credit to
the national adminstration and
a just reward to a good and
faithful servant, who has lab
ored assiduously and well for
the public' weal. That he
should have been made the
target for the false and scurril
lous attacks of malicious and
irresponsible self seekers Is
regrettable. This, however,
seems to be the common fate
of all who are named for pub
lic office in Alaska; soon or
late they become the target
for slanderous attacks from
political self seekers or irre
sponsible malcontents, most of
whom are not adverse to
sounding the uttermost depths
of depravity in their repre
hensible efforts to slander and
besmirch. Thanks to this de
plorable penchant few offic
ials are permitted to retire
from office without encounter
ing a shower of mud from this
iniquitous fraternity. However,
in the case of Judge Reed and
his highly capable and effici
ent coadjutor in the adminis
tration of law in the district,,
District Attorney A. G. Shoup, I
the efforts of their traducers >
have had no other effect than j
to reveal in most convincing 1
manner the high esteem in
which they are held by the
mass of the district’s reputable
citizens, as well as by the ap- j
pointing powers in Washing-;
ton.
'Jht: ‘'jury” 'll the Mitjhell
ase has returned its verdict
iiid the verdict of course is
‘guilty.” The decision of the
ory was a foregone conclusi
on] but the degree of pumsh
neiit was a question. The mili
ary court found a way around
hat—the ‘‘flying colonel” is
;uspended for five years,
vhich puts him in “disgrace,”
ieprives him of pay and keeps
lim under army regulations
'or five years.
Mitchell was tried for “speak
ng out of his turn” as the man
n the street puts it. He was
charged with saying what he
said and he admitted he said
t, so he had to be “guilty.”
A.s a matter of the fact the
/erdict probably was not a dis
ippointment to Colonel Mitch
jll as his chief ambition was
jet his case before the public
ind that was accomplished by
;housands of columns of pub
licity. If President Coolidge
ioes not lighten the sentence,
press reports indicate Colonel
Mitchell will resign frbm the
service and no doubt devote
his energies to air service re
forms.
Colonel Mitchell’s criticisjn’s
have served to focus public
attention on the nation’s air
service. With Congress pre
pared to act and the great ma
jority of citizens insisting that
aviation no longer be treated
as an unwelcome stepchild, the
preliminary steps have been
taken to remedy the situation,
Mitchell’s career is just be
ginning. The people will nol
forget a man of courage, whe
had refused to join the bri
gade of officers that say what
ever they are expectedto say
covering the stupidity of su
periors that they may be re
warded with promotion.

According to word from
Washington, there is apt to b«
some sorE of conflict in Con
gress this fall over a proposed
monument to the Presidenl
Roosevelt. The conflict, it is
reported, will come because
admirer’s of President Wilson
think he should be given high
er honors.
Let’s hope that such a con
flict never comes to a head;
It^would be highly regrettable.
Roosevelt and Wilson were
each worthy of an inspiring
monument. Surely, Washing
ton is big enough to hold a
memorial for each of them.
The United Stat.es should do
all honor to two of our dis
tinguished sons. Roosevelt and
Wilson were as unalike as the
sun and the moon, as far apart
of the poles, yet they were
both loyal Americans and de
serve all the honor that can be
bestowed upon them.
Each of these men served his
country faithfully,‘striving to
do the right as it was given
them to see the right, and no
man can deserve greater honor
than one who has courageous
carried on and given his best
to the country. This, both
Roosevelt and Wilson did.
The deeds of Roosevelt and
Wilson will endure as long as
the record of American hist
ory is preserved.* For they are
among the few men who need
no memorials to keep their
memories green.
