FAULT ISN’T WITH
YOUR TOWN; IT’S YOU
If you want to live in the kind of
a town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
<
You'll find only what you left be
hind,
It’s a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
It's your town—it’s you.
Heal towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want
to see.
It isn't your town—It’s YOU.

JUNEAU JURY DISGRACE
SAYS JUDGE JENNINGS
“The verdict which you have ren
dered is a disgrace to the civilzation
which nourished you!
“There is not a petty larceny thief,
caught in the act, with his hand in
another man's pocket, there is not a
burglar caught in another man's home,
there is not a murder caught with the
blood of his victim reeking from his
hands that would not rejoice to be
tried by such a jury us you!
"The law in this case was absolute
ly clear in the court's charge to you,
and the facts in the case were undis
puted. You have disregarded both the
law and facts and found a verdict
in your own caprice. You are finally
discharged from any further service
in this court room!"
Thus Judge Jennings dismissed the
jury which acquitted the officials ot
the Astoria and Puget Sound Cannery
Company’s case, charged with illegal
fish trapping.
