,It is vy.Ua i^ r^ike werread ip the
.Ketchikan Chroniole an editorial
commendatory of the stool pidgagp
for, although f his paper is know^p,
(to favor blue-law government. jt;
furnishes the first instance, to <^r
.knowledge, of a reputable journal
^upholding a class which ie held ip
the utmost contempt, to use |]}<»
mildest term, pyempy ^uch offioers
as are not competent to gather In
formation for themselyes and ^sho
resort to the employment qt stool
pidgeons.
That the stool pldgeen is him«|lf

psfoentage qf these moral degener
ates are dope fiends is equally ig
nored, According to the Chronicle
fhey ate “—entitled to be decor
ated with the Cross of Good Citi
zenship"
Does ths Chronicle not know
that in nearly all cities the heads
of departments created for the sup
pression of crime discountenance
the employment of stool pldgeons,
classing their activities in the same
category as compounding a felony?
Does the Chronicle not realize
that the first stool pidgeon of which
we have definite record was JUDAS
ISCARIOT?
Since the days of Judas, how
ever, the status of the stool pidgeon
has descended to greater depths of
degredation. Judas had enough of
honor left to cause him to suffer
the pangs of remorse to such an
extent that he went and hanged
himself.
The world is loser by the fact
that all other stool pidgeons do not
emulate the example set by the be
tlayer of Christ They are obnox
ious to all decent citizens and a
disgrace to civilisation.
We take pleasure in entering the
Sitka Sun on our'list of Alaska ex
changee. And we glery in the feet
that one paper in Alaska has the
nerve to charge a reasonable sub
scription rate. The Sun is publish
ed on the first Saturday of eaoh
month and the rates, ae announced
at the head of the editorial column,
are $100 per year, in advance. 10c.
per copy. Will the Wrangell Sen
tinel please notice?
All too often thefair sj i is apt
to be unfair.
