PLACE FOR MAD MEN.
The world will not be surprised
to learn that the former kaiser is
planning: to defend his actions prior
to and during the late war on the
plea that his mind was not on an
even keel. The world knows, as
well as the mad former monarch
knows, that he was crazy when he
set out to crush rival nations be
neath the iron heel of Germany.
No sane man would have attempted
what be did.
But the fact that the former
kaiser is unbalanced now and was
unbalanced when he started the war
should not stay the proceedings
which are about to be started in
London. The responsibility for the
inhuman acts committed by the Ger
mans during the war should be
fixed where it rightly belongs, once
and for all time, and then, if it is
shown to the satisfaction of the
Allies that the kaiser was and is
still unbalanced, he should be dis
posed of in such manner as will
prevent him from starting any more
of his crazy crusades.*. A-'srazy rr|fn
i* frequently more of a menace to
society than a desperado whose men
tal balance is unquestioned.
Insane or sane, the former em
peror is richly deserving of death,
as a punishment for all the suffer
ing he has caused, directly and in
directly. His punishment should
stand, for all time, as a warning to
other ambitious rulers who so far
lose their mental poise as to seek
world domination by the mailed fist
route.
If, however, in the judgment of
the London tribunal, the high Hun
offender should not suffer the ex
treme penalty for his crimes, then,
surely, he should be put away where
he cannot exercise that influence
over his former subjects which he
now wields from his Holland estate.
There is a place for mad men of
the criminal type, and no time
should be lost in sending the former
kaiser there, to languish among men
of his kind.
HOLDING IRELAND.
The general effect of the govern
ment proclamations suppressing the
Sinn Fein organizations throughout
Ireland is to make these organiza
tions illegal. It will be an offense
to hold a meeting of these bodies
in the proclaimed areas or to pub
lish reports of any such meetings.
As these organizations declare
their purpose to be the overthrow
of British rule in Ireland and the
establishment of an independent
Irish republic, and as that purpose
has long been illegal under the or
dinary law. the proclamation merely
provides a speeder means for the
trial of offenders and a greater
probability of their conviction. They
can now be tried by two resident
magistrates instead of by the petty
sessions bench, and there is in every
case an appeal from the decision to
the county court judge.
The proclamation of Dublin. Tip
perary, Limerick, Clare, and Cork
under the first section of the Crimes
Act of 1887 has a different purpose
It is aimed at the discovery of of
fenders who have escaped detection.
It gives power to a resident, magis
trate to hear a case and take evi
dence. Witnesses can be examined
on oath and bound over to appear
at the future trial of whatever pris
oner the evidence implicates.
The inquiries authorized by the
new proclamation may, it is appar
ently expected, facilitate the collec
tion of conclusive' evidence and lead
to the arrest of offenders who have
escaped. The inquiries are to be
held in secret, but a shorthand writ
er will be present, and in case any
prisoner is apprehended a copy of
the deposition taken is to be sup
plied to him before his trial.
The plan revives what was known
in the eighties as the ‘'Star-Chamber
Court." It was under this system
that the inquiries were held which
resulted in the capture and execu
tion of the Phoenix Park murder
ers, who. on May 6, 1882, assassinat
ed the chief secretary. Lord Fred
erick Cavendish, and the under sec
retary. Thomas Burke.
PREFERENTIAL RATES
All of the frontier sections^of the
United States and of Canada have
been greatly aided in their settle
ment by preferential settlers’ rates.
As an example, for nearly twenty
years anyone could purchase a tick
et from St. Louis. Kansas City, Chi
cago. Minneapolis, or St. Paul to
Pacific coast points for less than 50
: percent of the cost of a ticket from
coast cities to the points mentioned.
And not only were there preferen
tial passenger rates given to set
tlers, but also to all kinds of set
tlers' effects, livestock, and other
classes of freight that were neces
sary to the settlement of frontier
sections.
Here in Alaska, points out the
Anchorage Daily Times, the policy
of the steamship companies as a
whole has been one to tend to the
talking of the people out of Alaska
instead of bringing them in. It is
absolutely necessary- that Alaska
.should have similar preferential
rates for settlers and settlers' ef
fects, mining machinery and all
freight that is to be used for the
country's development.
