BEGINNING TO GET SANE
(Skagway Alaskan)
Employment of stool pigeons by city
and county authorities in bootlegging
or other cases is illegal under any lawT
unless the operatives are licensed pri
vate detectives or in the employ of a
licensed private detective, according
to some authorities. The opinion of
an Attorney General in California to
the state board of prison directors,
growing out of the employment of an
unlicensed operative in bootlegging
cases in certain counties throughout
the state, will hit some officials who
have in the past engaged in that
kind of practice.
Regardless of the issue involved,
high-minded men and women will con-,
tend that it all wrong to pay a man j
to commit a crime and then employ i
the one who caused the offender to!
violate the law as a witness to bring i
about his conviction.
Juries are beginning to resent be- j
ing asked to be parties to such pro
ceedings, and as the way public sen
timent is growing, it will not be long
before officers will not attempt to go
into court and ask for a conviction
upon the testimony of a stool pigeon.
Bad as is the habit of using stool
pigeons there is a more reprehensi
ble offense now going on under the
guise of the law—compounding a fel- j
ony along these lines: A man caught i
violating the law is promised immu-;
nity if he will pose as a decoy and
get someone else into trouble. It is
all very well where a straight viola
tion exists to punish the'offender, but
where one offender is used to snare
another for a consideration the dig
nity of the law is sullied.
A SEWARD COURT TERM
The Chamber of Commerce went on
record yesterday in demanding that a
term of court be held in Seward each
year, as was formerly the custom. It
may be a matter of convenience for
the court to handle these cases at
Valdez, but where the Deople insist
and the attorneys desire it, there is no
reason for refusing their request.
All business coming from the west
ward should be handled at Seward, as
should other trial cases be held at the
point nearest their occurrence. Judge
Brown formerly held terms at Cordo
va, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage.
We can see no more reason for drag
ging business men of Anchorage and
Seward to try cases which could be
tried here, than there is a reason for
bringing Valdezans over here. As we
understand it these terms are not for
the purpose of saving expense to the
court, but rather to save expense to
the people.
Some time within the near future
the government will establish a naval
base some where in this vicinity of
Alaska. Certain government officials
who have surveyed the coast and are
familiar with its topography, have in
sisted that Seward is the logical place
for such base, on account of its prox
imity to the government railroad, and
its deep water, splendid harbor and
easily fortified position. Be this as it
may, if there is such a base estab
lished Seward should present its
claims to the navy department. It is
practically certain that such claims
will have little bearing in the deci
sions of the naval boari; but it does
no harm to present them.
It is reported that the Pacific S. S.
Company will place a palatial passen
ger steamship on the southwestern
Alaskan run next year to handle the
increasing tourist trade. If this be
done there will be lack no of facilities
in handling all who wish to make the
trip. Alaska is well provided with
boats, and the fare is so cheap as to
make the trip less expensive than
staying at home. Staterooms, meals
and service are provided at the one
price.
If all the glaciers in Alaska were
packed into Hades the temperature
would be lowered to a point where the
average sourdough would need a
parka.
