ULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER A AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | IMPOR' It is of utmost importance to Juneau and to Alaska generally that all the residents of the Ter- ritory should be enumerated by the census takers. The census is now being taken and it must be completed by October 15. The figures that are obtained will stand for ten years as the basis for ail things where population controls. This suggests that the civic and other organi- zations and the individual residents of Juneau ought to co-operate in every way with the census ejumerators. It is essential that there be co-opera- tion in order that Juneau may get credit for the residents who are temporarily out of the Ter- ritory. We have a lot of young people who are on the ‘Outside attending universities and other schools. 1 They are residents of Juneau and ought to be counted. There are scores of people who are out "of the city visiting or at work who are residents of the City. Fishermen, prospectors, workingmen in many lines and out-of-town visitors will not be in Juneau to speak for themselves by the 15th of October. All of them ought to be on the rolls for this town. Other cities do this work. We recall the census of 1910 in Seattle when the alarm was sounded that the population of the City as being taken by the competent enumerators would fall below 200,000. The Chamber of Commerce and other organizations took up the work. Additional time was secured and the final result was a count of 238,000 population. Gov. Parks the other day called the attention of the American Legion to the importance of this matter. He did not over-state the case at all It is a matter of very great importance. It is en- tirely within the probabilities that many times dur- ing the next ten years the question of having got a complete enumeration of the people will be vital in some matter of the very greatest moment. This is a duty that cannot be postponed. It is one that must be done now. We cannot afford to lose a single day. And the duty rests on all citizens—on every citizen. It must not be per- mitted to fail through that slothful tendency im- plied in the old saw that “what's everybody's business is nobody's business.” This is the busi- ness of single individual. Committees should be named and they should get to work. TRYING TO AROUSE PREJUDICE IN COURT. If the press dispatches were correct when they quoted Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Costello as saying, in his parting shot to the jury when he asked for a verdict of guilty against Mrs. Pantages, that by the jury’s verdict we would know whether or not it is possible to convict a rich man or woman, he ought, at least, to have been severely reprimanded and the jury ought to have been instructed to disregard the remarks. From the meager accounts we have it is not certain that the defendant is not entitled to a new trial, A court of justice is the last of all places where there should be any attempt to arouse class prejudice under any circumstances. And, further, facts do not warrant the assumption of the Prosecuting At- torney. Facts do not indicate that it is impos- sible to convict a millionaire in the United States. In fact, the average jury is far more likely to have prejudice against a millionaire than it is to be bribed by one. A millionaire on trial for his liberty has an advantage over a poor man only because he is able to get competent counsel and to pay for having the field searched for evidence. A poor man is often made to suffer for his poverty through inability to procure able legal advice or to have a proper survey made for evidence while he combats all the wealth of a State or the Federal Govern- ment. The only undue advantage that a millionaire prisoner might have in a trial would be through bribing the prosecution. Looked at from this angle the Los Angeles Prosecuting Attorney's appeal would mean: “By your verdict the people will know whether or not I have been bribed.” Even that is a very poor basis for an appeal to send any man or woman, rich or poor, to the penitentiary, It ought not to be permitted. LAST MEXICAN WAR VETERAN DIES. With members of Lafayette Lodge of Masons acting as pallbéarers, Owen Thomas Edgar. 98 years old, last survivor of the American forces that fought in the War with Mexico, was buried re- cently. The services at the grave in the Con- gressional Cemetery were brief but impressive. The yituals of the Spanish War Veterans and of the Masonic Order were read, then the flag-draped (casket was lowered into the grave. three volleys " were fired and “Taps” were sounded by a bugler. Mr. Edgar died at the John Dickson Home re-| . cently after an illness caused by a fall from his . chair. Until recently he shared the distinction of hugh Buckner, of Paris, Mo. last June 16.

The development | . of Stewart is as inevitable as was that of Seattle, Portland or Tacoma in the old days when San Francisco was the only rail terminal of the Pacific Coast. Six hundred miles north of Vancouver, with fully one-third of the Province of British Columbia lying north of Stewart’s position on the fifty-sixth parallel, port of closest proximity to the Peace River block in British Columbia and the tremend- ous wheat-growing belt of the Peace River Valley in Alberta, probable terminus of a railway line which will cross the Candian Rockies with the most fav- orable grades of all such lines on the continent, surpassing even the Canadian National Railway line in this respect, Stewart's future is indeed as- sured. That these mentioned advantages exist is per- haps best proved by the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, through its mining sub- sidiary, the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., |it Ltd., holds the charter for a railway from Stewart to Fort Grahame, and has come into possession of | ° half the townsite and waterfront of Stewart.

Our summation of the case for Stew- art would be that speculators and investors in its | future are “playing a sure thing,” the only real | uncertainty being the element of time. Stewart's future is as sure as was Seattle's, in the Northwest United States, before the building of the first railway to that port. Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company has five years in which to commence construction of the line from Stewart to Fort Grahame and eight years to commence work on the branch line north to the Yukon boundary. If the second charter is to be kept in good standing the first project must be proceeded with—and there is no reason to sup- pose that the Canadian Pacific Railway interests, which set a world record for transportation enter- prise, will be blind to the economics of the trans- portation situation in the West or tardy in the fulfillment of a contract. — A Natural Protest. (Detroit Free Press.) Chief Clement Bear of the Winnebagos is obey- ing a perfectly natural and reasonable impulse when he protests against excavations by University of Illinois anthropologists in the deserted Indian city south of Utica. The Chief insists that the col- lege men are desecrating the dead and disturbing the rest of his ancestors, Probably he feels much as a white American would feel if he should sud- denly come upon a company of Indians robbing the graves and upturning and throwing about the bones of recent ancestors, and it would be exces- sively difficult for excavators to pacify him on the plea that they were working in the interest of sclence and had a legal right to proceed. We do not know what may be the disposition of the Univesity of Illinois with espect to the Indian city site in face of the potest laid before it, but we do know that the Chief has a grievance and that he should be treated with consideration and his objections respected as far as possible. Grave robbery, even in the interest of scientific and his- toric research, is a rather dublous business where substantial protest is made, The circus merger makes us heave a sigh. What became of the circus idol of our boyhood—Adam Forepaugh? Was he merged with Sells until even his name vanished? As we recall him he was stand- ing with a foot on the back of each of two horses. He had a milion reins in his hands and was driv- ing fifty quadrillion horses.—(New York World.)
