SATURDAY APRIL 24, 1920
CHARACTER ASSASSINS
A newspaper owner who will delib
erately prostitute the columns of his
paper by publishing false and defam
atory articles, with malice afore
thought, is not only a disgrace to his
profession, but a menace to the pub
li«, and should be shorn of the power
of the press as a vehicle through
which to attack the good name of rep
Btable citizens. There is no punish
ment too severe for these character
assassins, who themselves are usu
ally weaklings, too yellow and cow
ardly to fight with weapons that af
ford all an equal chance.
A case in point is that of the Juneau
Alaska Capital, of which Charles E.
Herron is the publisher, E. H. Plum
mer is editor and J. W. Ward is man
ager. In the issue of that paper of
April 14, 1920, was a most scurrilous
and unwarranted attack upon George
C. Hazelet, a pioneer of Alaska and
one of the best known and most re
■pected citizens of Cordova. Before
resorting to the dastardly act of at
tempting to tear a good man’s repu
tation to shred3 this braggart Herron
tried to cajole and browbeat Mr. Haze
let into supporting him politically. In
this he was unsuccessful as our towns
man knew his reputation too well, and
refuse to stultify himself by associat
ing himself with or in any way being
a party to placing Herron in an office
which he felt he was in no way quali
fed to fill.
As a result Herron and his hire
lings published in the Juneau Capital
false, garbled and untruthful state
ments of the alleged facts in connec
tion with the Keystone canyon trouble,
which occurred more than twelve
years ago.
Baitoriais ana news items were puo
lished and circulated broadcast, ma
liciously and with intent to defame
*nd besmirch the reputation and char
acter of Mr. Hazelett, for* the purpose
©f defeating him as a delegate to the
■ ational Republican convention to be
held in Chicago next June. The only
legal redress Mr. Hazelet had was tt>
file a civil suit for litiel against Her
ron and his associates, which he did
in the district court yesterday after
noon. to be followed by a criminal ac
tion.
If a newspaper and those who have j
complete charge and control over its
management become so perverted that
n© man’s reputation or character is
safe, they should be prevented—and at
cnee—from doing further damage to
others. Their action is nothing short
of criminal, and the sooner they are
branded the better it will be for the
safety of the public.
Don’t overlook the fact that you !
have a duty to perform by voting at
the primaries n.ext Tuesday.
Let us poll every possible vote at
Tuesday’s primary and thus show that
Cordova is a live and peopled com
munity.
It’s a good bet that Billy Bryan will
be in charge of the wrecking crew at
the Democratic National Convention
this year.
It is said that the German mark
is now so cheap that the counterfeit
ers over there can’t afford to do busi
ness any more.
With the present high price of foot
gear why wouldn’t it be a good plan
to turn those wooden ships into
wooden shoes?
Gabe D’Annunzio has declared
Fiume to be an independent state and
all he has to do now is to apply for
admission to the League of Notions.
The Mexican government didn’t
function well last week. No Ameri
t * ■.
cans were reported either murdered
or kidnapped.
Isn’t it about time for the residents
of this territory to place its stamp of
approval upon the dictatorial policy
of Seattleites and near-Alaskans liv
ing in that graft city from controlling
the policy of this northland.
So far as the qualifications of the
different candidates for Republican
national committeeman are concerned
J. C. McBride stands upon his record
as an honest and successful business
man, bona fide Alaskans as local of
fice holders and a square deal for all.
Cordova and the Copper River val
ley should take pride in the election
of George Hazelet, as one of the
delegate to the Republican national
convention to be held at Chicago in
June. He is one of the pioneers of
the territory, having blazed trails in
development of its resources. You
will make no mistake in casting a
ballot for Mr. Hazelet on Tuesday
next.
Seattle politicians may “butt in”
at the primary election to be held
rext Tuesday, but we do not think
they will cut any figure in the vote,
excepting possibly at Nome, upon
which camp they appear to have a
strangle-hold. But then ftome is
notorious for the high-handed manner
in which outsiders have always con
trolled their affairs, and as a result
it is in a decadent state.
MEDITATION
Christian democracy applied to in
dustry means the development of co
operative relationship. Day of power
for the laboring classes has dawned,
but with its power comes danger. To
return evil for evil, exact more than
their due, use their strenegth for op
pression and outlaw the capitalist and
employer must eventually spell defeat
Self-interest is too weak and short
sighted to help society. The unselfish
spirit found in the Golden Rule and
Sermon on the Mount must be prac
ticed by all, if a lasting new era is to
be realized. “Bear ye one another’s
burdens and so fulfill the law of
Christ.’’ Hear the sermons at the
