TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1919
SHOULD HAVE TEMPORARY
JUDGE
*
It does seem that there should be
some provision made for the trial of
important cases during the absence
from the division of the district judge.
This is the situation which confronts
the Third division at this time. The
judge is absent, undergoing treatment
for illness. His absence, from the
time of his departure until his re
turn, will probably extend to half a
year. We all, of course, deeply sym
pathize with the district judge because
of his illness. We all hope for his
speedy recovery. But the business of
the court, which is so highly impor
tant, should not be hindered or de
layed on account of the illness of the
district judge. Provision should be
made for the appointment of a tempo
rary judge, to serve during the ab
sence from the district, from any
cause whatsoever, of the regular ju
dicial officer. This would prevent any
delay in the adjudication of important
cases. There are half a dozen impor
tant cases in this community that
should be tried immediately, but in
the circumstances their trial is unnec
essarily deferred because of the en
forced absence of a court of compe
tent jurisdiction. It is a situation that
should be corrected, and one that
might easily be remedied by the ap
pointment of a temporary judge. We
make this statement solely in the in
terests of good government. We have
the utmost confidence in and respect
for our district judge, and have no
wish to see him replaced because of
his illness. This should not be neces
sary, if our suggestion were adopted.
Nothing should be allowed to interfere
with the operations of the district
court.—Anchorage Times.
TO OUR NAPOLEON
Now we understand why Victory
medals are to be struck off. A spe
cial dispatch to the New York Sun
contains this gripping information;
“Washington, June 26.—Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war, will decorate
himself with a Victory medal as soon
as these war emblems are ready to
be issued. Announcement that Mr.
Baker will receive the second medal
to be issued was made by the war
department today. President Wilson
Mill receive the first.”
As there is no one who can properly
perform the act of decorating the sec
retary of war except himself he will
do the honors. Of course the Presi
dent might officiate, introducing the
ceremony he learned in France. He
would pin the medal on the heaving
chest of the modest, blushing secre
tary and then kiss him on both
cheeks a la Francaise. We think
that, all circumstances considered, the
secretary should not only be decorat
do but kissed.
That was a fine thought of the sec
retary’s to put the President first and
himself second among the heroes of
the great war. All of us remember
the intrepid actions of the secretary
when he was in France; how he
crawled from communicating trench
to support trench and from support
trench to the front line trench and
gazed through a periscope at the fero
cious enemy. Not so many remember
that historic scene when the president
of France hooked a military medal, a
croix de guerre and the medal of Le
gion of Honor on the secretary’s left
hand breast pocket and said;
“It was you who won the war; you
who sent us over so many American
seventy-fives and such a swarm of air
planes; you who made so many mag
nificent threats that the enemy wilted,
turned pale and ran for the Rhine.”
Could anything be more appropri
ate by way of official recognition than
the Victory medal for the little sec
retary. If we may not ascribe the
victor to him, to whom may we as
cribe it. Surely no one would be so
unfeeling as to say that anyone did
his bit more gloriously than our Na
poleonic secretary. Was he not the
man behind the man behind the gun—
and then some? And when duty
called, did he not sail across the sea,
land amid the swamps of Brest, rush
madly to the front when the armies
had begun to waver before the as
saults of the Hun, take one peek at
the foe and then turn right around
again and come home? Did he or did
he not?
Oh, Victory, instead of allowing
Newton to pin a medal on himself,
thou shouldst come down from thy ex
alted place, take the little secretary
by the hand and place him beside thee
on the very armchair of thy throne.
For is not Newton but another name
for Victory? it or is it not?
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
An effort is to be made by the Ne
nana Commercial Club to induce the
postoffice department to route Interior
Alaska mail during the coming winter
by way of the new Broad Pass trail,
which is now approaching the Interior
rapidly from the end of steel in the
Anchorage division of the government
railroad.—Nenana News.
Possibly the visit of Colonel D. C.
Jackling to this section will have
some relative change in the steamer
service of the Admiral line. Colonel
Jackling recognizes the growing busi
ness, and his recommendations for a
better service will be acted upon by
President Alexander, if such a rec
ommendation is made.—Seward Gate
way.
There are some of us who believe
that oil is native to this part of
Alaska, and we are patiently awaiting
the day when the congress shall pass
a law permitting development. It is
a ridiculous state of affairs that these
oil lands should so long remain tied
up. By a presidential order issued
in 1906, oil lands in Alaska were with
drawn from private entry and location,
and to this day they remain with
drawn.—Anchorage Times.
