are many practitioners who do
not take this position, but seek
acquittal regardless of all other
considerations. * * * A convicted,
prisoner has the right of pro
tection from violence and the
law charges peace officers with j
that duty, even if it becomes ne- j
cessary to fire upon an attack
ing mob. Just so, an accused
person, although his guilt is ap
parent to all, has certain rights
and a lawyer is clearly within
his duty in serving such a client
and protecting those rights. If
a client, ever one who is ready;
to plead guilty, has no attorney, j
the court appoints counsel for!
him. When-Czgolsz assassinated I
President McKinley, members of
the bar hesitated to defend him,
but the court appointed distin
guished counsel, thiee of the lead
ing barristers, ii memory serves
us, to see that he was accorded
every legal safeguard in the face
of evident guilt and the outraged j
public sentiment against him. |
“*: “ * Not infrequently law- j
yers face revelations about their i
clients when a trial is in pro
gress that are entirely unexpect
ed by them because concealed;
from them in the preparation of j
the case. A lawyer can advise J
a client, to tell the truth but it is |
obvious that there is no way to |
compel him to do so.
“* * * The law provides that a |
defendant shall have the benefit |
of counsel and lawyers invari
ably insist that inquiries be di
rected in their presence. One
troub c is that in many instances,
the prosecution is quite as an-!
xious to gain a conviction to add ;
to its own prestige as the de
fense is to get an acquittal. In
refusing to bar the public from j
a cihimnal hearing Justice King j
in a well-known Oregon case i
said “It is as much the duty of j
prosecuting attorneys to see that
0 person on trial is not deprived
t-f any of his statuatory or con
stitutional rights as it is to pro
secute him for the crime with
which he may be charged, but ;
:.t is a matter or common know- |
•edge, and every practitioner at i
her Trr;q bear witness, that;
the district attorney who fully
••npveohih's and practices this!
f.cdf evir nit duty is a rare excep- ;
tion rather than the rule. In
practice lie is usually, as enthusi- 1
astic to add one more convic-j
tion to his string of legal con
nrests as the cour el for the de
fense may be to clear his client;
and equally in such instances in
the extremes followed, do we, as
a rule, observe no difference be
ween the methods adopted by
he prosecution and those of the
counsel defending.”

NOT A GOOD EXCUSE
A woman came before Judge
Bourqum’s court in Seattle on a
charge of selling a bit of moon
shine. Her attorney offered as
extenuating circumstances the
fact that she had three children.
‘The poorest excuse in the world,’
said the Judge as he sentenced
her to 30 days in jail and a fine.

THE RIGHT TO FISH
-x
The United States Court of
Appeals takes the position that
the tax on non-resident trollers
($250 per troller) is unconstitu- !
tional in that it conflicts with j
I the provisions of the so-called ]
White Fishery Law, enacted in j
1924. This law provides “That;
every such regulation made by ^
the Secretary of Commerce shall,
be of general application within i
the particular area to which it j
i applies, and that no exclusive or
several right of fishery shall be
j granted therein, nor shall any
[citizen of the United States be
i denied the right to take, pre
ipare, cure, or preserve fish or
[shellfish in any area of the wa
iters of Alaska where fishing is
(permitted by the Secretary of,
!Commerce.” Under this part of,
section 1 of the law of* 1924, the I
Appelate Court reversed the de- !
cision of the District Court of
the First Division of Alaska.
On the appeal to the Sopreme
Court again will be fought out
the provision of section 8 which
says that “Nothing in this Act
contained, nor any power here
in conferred upon the Secretary
of Commerce shall abrogate or
curtail the powers granted the
Territorial Legislature of Alas
ka to impose taxes or licenses,
nor limit or curtail any powers
granted the Territorial Legisla
ture of Alaska by the Act of Con
gress approved August 24, 1912,
‘To create a legislature assem
bly in the Territory of Alaska, to.
confer legislative power thereon, |
and for other purposes.”
It would appear to the layman
that the power to tax any busi
ness or any citizen as it chooses
“Even to the point of confisca
tion” as was decided in a pre
vious case wherein a herring

SNOW SHOE WIRELESS
As usual when an Alaska Rail
road general manager gees Out
side for the winter, comes the
rumor from Anchorage that
Coione) Ohlson is thru; that he
will not return. And that Cun
ungham, the man who detests
the very ground Seward rests
’ on will be the next railroad
manager.—Seward Gateway.
Looks to us like Mr. Jessen is
just naturally a pessimist and
hat he is ahunting trouble. At
times “snow shoe wireless” is
quite reliable and at other times
it just has a way of lending only
needless worry and trouble

FUR EXHIBITION WILL
RE WINNER
-x
On December 11 to 13 inclu
sive, will be held at Anchorage
the first annual exhibition and
fur .sale of the Kenai and Susit
na Valley Fur Breeders Associa
tion. The exhibition will serve
to demonstrate the growth and
importance of the fur farm’ r=
industry in that section. The en
terprise is commanding the at
tention of the fur buyers of the
nation, a number of whom will
!->e in attendance.
All of which leads us to re
mark that, as everybody knows,
there are thousands of dollars
worth of furs sent out of Sout i -
east. Alaska every year, which
aid materially in the building up
of great fur markets in other
sections of the country. While |
wo bemoan the lack of business!
we tender our business to others
who have no natural advantage
which courage and initiative
w uld not offset.
