THAT ORDINANCE.
When the editorial in yesterday
morning’s issue was written, we lit
tle knew that there had been even
then in jirenarftion an ordinai.ee i
empowering the Mayor to pardon |
those ae. id'od or convicted of viola
tion of the city ordinances.
flow ‘he Industrial Worker does
not at t ii agree that such an orn
nancs is without uses. It is In.;lily
desirable that some executive au
thorir; should be in a position to
parol 7 or pardon any person con
victed hastily or sentenced with
undue severity. That is nothing but
the adjustment of justice to the j
needs of possible cases which may j
arise. It presupposes a judicial iniiul
in the Mayor; it premises the ex
istence of a man in that office who
will not use that power for the pur
pose of enabling one class to go free
and another class to suffer punish
ment to the limit. But it is better,
we say it in all fairness, that ten
men should be unjustly freed than
that one man should be unjustly in
carcerated.
If on the particular occasion of
the passage of such an ordinance,,
the cells in the fire house were un-.
occupied, or were occupied by one j
whose imprisonment was a gross
perversion of justice, then, the ln
rj; i Worker would acclaim the ^
1K,S. Jg., of tin ordinance in ques-i
t ion'as worthy of the highest, ap
proval and cue which spoke foi pro-;
. in this community.
If circumstances ever altered j
in themselves, certainly it is
■in this instance. The occupant ol
Hie < it v cedi was no object vvortiiy ^
of commisenv.ion at all. Nor were j
tip circumstances under which the
c-ntenca had been imposed such as I
to justify any sort of clemency, and i
the idea of the Mayor and Common j
Council of the Town of Nome, elect- j
ed by the men and women of this j
rity. calling a special meeting to j
pass an ordinance for the purpose
of releasing one such as then occu
pied the city jail and who was sent
cnced thereto under such circum
stances, is enough to disgust every
one of impartial mind.
Is it any wonder the community
demands to know why th's special
clemency? It is any wonder that
the community spurns aside the
plea of economy as the impulse
which fostered such a disgraceful
frame-up? Doesn’t the community
know that this case could have been
turned over to the federal author
ities, if it was too expensive to
handle and that this plea is too
flimsy to deceive any one?
Doesn’t every person know that
the only ones who are treated with
this clemency arc those who are in
volved in some restricted district
scandal and that the mild offendei,
specially if he is penniless, seldom
escapes scatheless*
It is significant too. that in the
passage of this ordinance and under
the circumstances under which that
passage took place, not a solitary
councilman had the gall to speak in
support of that measure. There was
not a reason given for its passage
at that time; there was none to take
the floor to uphold that iniquitous
proceedings. There wasn’t a man
who voted in favor of the ordinance,
which was a slap in the faefe to
everyone in this community, who
had couiage enough to state why it
should be passed.
Yet. as the Industrial Worker in
timated yesterday, there are many
things which would stand explana
tion. And first of all it is to be
explained why it is that those em
broiled in restricted district dis
turbances are the subject of special
favors that apparently are to be
denied the rest. Moreover, we say
It positively, that before any person
can hope to be elected in this com
munity again to office, who took
part in this unsavory proceedings,
they will most certainly have to an
swer wny it was done.
Three members of the Council
wore apparently in practical oppo
sition to the measure. Those
three are Poteet. M'AIlister anci
Wesley. Vet it was a nerveless oppo
sition that compares very little bet
ter with that of those who voted in
the affirmative. M'AIlister knew
that the ordinance was coming up
for consideration at he special meet
ing; the mayor so stated at the
meeting itself. Yet he refused to
attend and fight the ordinance. Dr.
Wesley passed. But why pass? It
in favor of an ordinance certainly
he ought to have said yes, and it
against it, no, in the same measure.
One will prefer the man who will
say yes unashamed than the pass
that hesitates to say yes or no. Po
teet did better, but not well enough.
If the introduction of the ordinance
was wrong, certainly also was its
passage, and it is better to be a mi
nority of one in the right that a
majority of hundred in the wrong.
It is about high time there was
some kind of a house cleaning in
that restreted district in any event,
and the Grand Jury that is coming
might do worse than to investigate
the personalities who are habituees
of that place. We say there are
some young men in this town whose
example to the growing youths of
this community has been a menace
that may not be lightly considered.
They have the reputation of being
good spenders; they are welcome
persons in many of the public re
sorts of Nome. They have money
for the birds that the workers have
not, and they are apparently immune
whether as gamblers or anything
else. They are walking models pro
vided as for the other young men to
adopt and to follow, and whose ex
ample will most certainly be follow
ed if the city allows them to con
tinue unmolested.
Time and time again reports are
heard of conditions in the restricted
district which excite wonder that
these things should be tolerated,
but apparently those who habitually
frequent and consort with the resi
dents therein are to be favored
above any other class in this com
munity, and to be objects of attrac
tion for their dexterity in many
other avenues than that by which
they attain their notoriety or their
livelihood.
It is when therefore any such inci
dents crop up as that under which
the prisoner who excited the sym
pathy, the commiseration and the
mercy of our council, the public is
certainly justified in demanding the
reason for such a course.
This paper disclaims any intention
of desiring to start a moral crusade
of any knd. But we insist upon
fairness and some semblance of
decent treatment. We kuow well
enough that real morality lies
within die heart anil is not to be
attained by outward comformation
to the law or to the ordinances. We
know too that often enough llie
person whose sins aparently are as
scarlet is whiter than the painted
sepulchre whose real and inward
personality is rotten to the core.
That is true, and it is the real rea
son why moral crusades are the
dismal failures that they are. But
it is certain that there is no rea
son for placing the restricted dis
trict upon an elevated pedestal,
and compelling public officials and
the community to fall down and
adore such an Institution, or why
those who are habitual frequenters
thereof, or are found guilty ot
disorders within its confines, should
he the objects of the solicitude of
the the council, or be allowed to
offer themselves as a fortunate ex
ample of official immunity, that the
other young men of this community
may go, and doing likelwise, pros
per exceedingly or gain higher
esteem.
We dont want any protection
thrown around that class at all that
is so conspicuous by its absence
when the workers are themselves
concerned, and we know of no great
er infamy when such a scandalous
example is afforded Nome, as the
instance we cite where that was
done. ,
