When he flew
across the At
lantic said:
A PESiVAYER OF LIES
The report of the doings of aj
small crowd oi men tearing out
foundations on disputed grounds I
as given by the "WE'’ down the i
street is certainly characteristic I
ol the man who wrote the scur
rilous. lying article.
'There wert over two hundred
citizens at the mass meeting, he
declares. Our impression was
that there were not over 80
men present, not including ir-1
responsible boys, and a num
ber of women who heard the
call ol the lire alarm. We in
quired around and the general
estimate of the "crowd” was six
dozen men.
Jasky, himself was not pre
sent.
ino aoudi ne was sun j
hanging on to his pillow and j
finance to j
get $20 worth of stock off the
dock which came C.O.D. Not be
ing present at any part of the
whole controversy he secures in
formation f”om “friends.” Wei
venture to that not one of
them vouch for his contempt
uous lies.
VOTE
“With the exception of the
dissenting vote, said to have
been cast by Louis Paul, every
one present was in favor of tear
ing the structure down..” “The
Paul's attempted to argue the
crowd into leaving the build
in stand, etc... •'Although the
Paul brothers argued vehement
ly against this procedure and
tried to persuade the crowd to
let the building stand.” “Neither
does the part of the Pauls in the
matter, jibe with their profess
ed interest in the welfare of the
town: in fact their part appears
to us just another attempt to
cause trouble lor the council.”
THE SHOWDOWN
On such statements does J. W. J
Schoettler’s reputation for in
tegrity lie. We leave him to the 1'
i
tender mercies of those men
who know the facts and do not
admire slithering lies.
James H. Wheeler is free, a ci
tizen over 21 years of age and
has the right to hire any attor- j a
ney he sees fit, or all of them if i
lie wants. He happened to ask j ]
William L. Paul to represent i)
him when Paul was on his way j a
to Ketchikan from Kake. Wil-jl
liam did not seek the work, he i
was anxious to return home. But
upon being hired to represent
the Wheeler interest, he did so.
He did not go to the council ad
vising them of their rights or
as to any part of their proced
ure and then advise Wheeler,
playing friendship and business
interest against each other. We
do not admit that the hiring of
Mr. Paul in this case was one
bit more reprehensible than th;
hiring of Mr. Roden, who on a
number of occasions has been
the city's legal advisor. The in
terest of Mr. Paul in Petersburg
is not damned because sof his
rlient notwithstanding the phil
osopher Jasky.
Poor Louis
Why Louis Paul comes into
Jasky’s fabrication of lies, (we)
cannot see. When the matter
was being argued in city clerk,
city magistrate or Commission
er Clausen’s (whichever it hap
pened to be) office. Louis sat
listening to the whole precedure
offering no comment and con
versing only with Ed Nelson.
When the crowd voted, Louis
again had sense enough to
Keep his mouth shut, which is
a lot more sense than is charac
teristic of Jasky. Nor can any
one say that we advised or even
argued with any person prior to
che destruction of the piling.
After the work had been done
we offered the comment that it
was without the province of a
United States Commissioner to
stand by and permit an unlaw
ful act and that there are pro
per methods provided in law to
stop any jumping of lands that
are claimed by another. During
the whole ruction, Louis Paul
minded his own business and
ms business had nothing to do
with any question involving the
title to the land in dispute. He
is not an advisor of Mr. Wheel
er’s nor is he wet nurse for the
city council. He does not tell
the council how "it is done in
Ketchikan” nor offer gratuitous
advice as if from a member oi
the council. As to any policy i
affecting the welfare of the j
community, if he differs in his
opinion with the council he will I
say so from these columns. Nor :
is he with the council "right or 1
wrong” with a lickspittle policy!
for the sake of principal. When j
Louis Paui sells his soul and ed-!
itorial policy for the favor oi
i
any person or council and for
get principle, then lie will be
ready to throw down his pencil 1
and become an associate of
two legged snakes, which anim
al is to be found in the Territory,
bred of such doctrine. And as '
responsible kid.
that is his philosophy
• “If you must drink, do your
drinking at .home or inode j
where you will not be a nuisance !
I
to others.”
Savs says the little jack who
brays weakly down the street. . j
If you must violate the law, i
Hr. and Mrs. Decent Citizen, do j
t at home or inside where you
will not be a nuisance; steal,
'ape, kill if you must, but do it
it home,. We do not agree that
mything but anarchy can be
)red of such doctrine.. And a
m American citizen this writer J
esents such trash from any ir- j
■esponsible kid.
SUCH SNAKES j
We have respect for any man :
vho differs from us publicly, no i ‘
natter how much we may think;;
lim wrong. But we can only 1
hush for the man who agrees '
vith us publicly and then pulls
lis dirty stuff when he thinks
Ve cannot hear or see.
• WILL YOU BE ADMIRED ?.
Wc admire the fortitude and
respect the memory of the men
who founded this great country
and guided its destinies along
wise paths. We today, still en
joy most of the rights and pri
vileges so cherished by them.
Look well to your duties as Alas
ka's American citizens that you
may be respected by your child
ren.
i <
\ time for united front
It is time that selfish, self
seeking nd political quarreling
be given an outing in an at
tempt 10 offer a united front to
the powers - who have appropri
ated our country and give small
head to our rights as American
citizens.
WE Air NOT men unless
-o—
We can look for no help, nor
expect sympathy and under
standing of our needs here in
Alaska from our fellow citizens
in the States or our law makers,
nor do we deserve any, if we are
not men enough to make those
wants known by all the mean
of publicity at our disposal.
