Editorial Note:—In the fight
secure fair fishing privileges,
•he Indians of Alaska have con
ducted their fight along general
fines which would be of benefit
o the entire fishing population,
'n event departmental regula
tion compels them to secure a
livlihood only by violation of the
Jaws, they will be forced to turn
to Congress for the institution of
► a reservation system as organiz
|I ed in the Central District. The
C question then comes, what will
[♦ the white population do and
[♦ who will conduct their fight for
C economic existence?

Notice has been sent to Fred
> erick G. Morton, Bureau of Fish
: eries agent at Wrangell to the
♦ effect that the Hall type of ham
IJmer-head trap will be permitted
* in southeastern Alaska the com
mg season. The Bureau is now
diferentiating between various
types of trap gear by admitting
the over efficiency of the Cor
dova double hammer-head type
trap. It has features that far
surpass other types of traps and
it goes without saying the Bu
reau recognizes its effect on de
nletion of the salmon fisheries.
Still general regulations are not
set forth to curtail the deple

which seeks to find a compre

tion of salmon.
I The resolution directs the

three states to seek advice of the

Protection of the salmon in

THE BIG ONES GET AWAf
To say that, in this republic, j
formed because of the outrages; *
of inj ustice and inequality and \
sanctified blood of true lovers of {
justice, all men are equai before j
the law is to offer a silly lie, a «
lie dangerous in its aceptance.
The chief justice of the Unnit- J
ed States supreme court declares <
that the administration oi jus- 1
tice in America has come to be ;
a stench in the nostrils of civi- *
nzation. \
The American Bar Associa- \
tion, annually, recognizes the \
malodorous condition, ana im- j
potently goes back home to its ;
fees ana retainers. The vicious, j
republic-destroying partiality ap I
pears in the action of ponce, in i
one verdicts of juries picxed by '
! the finesse of crafty lawyers and
in decisions oi j udges upon the i j
bench.
Why so unsatisfactory the en
forcement of liquor laws, with
the growing disrespect for ail
laws?
The big ones get away
Why the suaden raging of \
"the dope evil,” the vilest, dead- j

equality aborted, its spirit de
based by partiality as between
man and man.
One hundred and forty years
ago the French people, and 12
years ago ,the Russian peopie!
found “their way” to get relief
from injustice in the manage
ment of government and class
partiality in administration of
law. First thing, they butchered
aristocracy of every species and
abolished God, property rights
and the free press. Those mad,
bloody revolutions were not pro- j
duced by the sudden formation
of popular sentiment. They!
were the climaxes of gross in
j ustices based upon the accepted
inequalities amongst men.
The big ones got away! ••
In July, 1776, young America
told the world: ‘-‘We hold these
truths ,to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal,” etc.
She froze and starved for that,
fundamental at Valley Forge and
shed rivers of blood for it at
Gettyburg.
What is she telling the world
today?
Whither is she impotently,
contentedly drifting, and . how
far, today, when officers of jus
tice take bribes to permit the
big ones to get away?
“Justice” is the greatest of
principles. It is the brain,
blood and soul of government, of,
by and for the people. It is the
very life of all human command
ments and it is the Lord;s Ten
Commandments in composite.
In America—what are we go
ling to do about it?
|ing to do about it?—Seattle Star.
