By SCOTT C. BONE. What the facts in a given case are is not as important as what the people think the facts are. This has been signally and cruelly true in the case of the Government vs. Albert B. Fall, late Secre- tary of the Interior, who, finally, stands convicted of betraying his official trust by accepting a bribe. From the very inception of the oil scandal, his guilt has been assumed. Disgraced, aged and brok- en, for six years, while the criminal litigation dragged its weary length along, he has endured a living death, and paid a heavier penalty than if he had been behind the bars all this while. Only family ties and the steadfast friendship of his old partner, E. L. Doheny, whose generosity in stress led to the Secretary’s undoing, have sus- tained him through the bitter, crushing ordeal. Pre-judged—even the highest court condemned him— manifestly there has been an indisposition to hear the other side at any stage of the proceedings. Coincidently, and with coincident cruelty, a fel- low Cabinet officer, Edwin Denby, as high minded an American and sterling patriot as ever reached lofty station, was driven out of public life and to a premature grave, because of his part in the oil leases, which he bravely admitted and defended. Pilloried by the press, subjected to vicious parti- san onslaught, the finger of public scorn merciless- ly pointed at him, what show had the facts to re- ceive consideration“on ‘their merits? Albert B. Fall was undone. Vindication was put beyond the pos- sibility of attainment. Living, he were better dead. His sun was set, ingloriously. A brilliant career was closed, summarily. Suspicion, fanned into flame, had destroyed him, relentlessly. Who cared to recall that he served with distinc- tion as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Mexico and had twice been considered for a seat on the United States's highest bench? Pictured as a political reactionary and hardened spoilsman, of what profit to mention that he was a devoted disciple and follower of Theodore Roosevelt, en- trusted with his campaign for renomination in 1916, or that he subsequently served with honor in the Senate? Away with these and kindred irre- levancies! What bearing had they in the snuffing out of an illustrious career? It was enough to know that he permitted a co- grubstaker of his youth, the now fabulously-rich Doheny, to lend him $100,000, and accept its delivery in cash, instead of by customary check or draft. The circumstance of the transaction, rather than the transaction itself, spelled his doom. Why show, or undertake to show, that his old friend, his bene- factor, did not profit a penny's worth by the oil- leasing contract, but sustained a loss of millions? Or why call upon naval and mining experts to testify to the wisdom of the lease entered into? Or why cite the legal record showing his acquittal on the charge of conspiracy? Out with such im- material stuff! Let his pre-judged ' guilt remain fixed and unshaken.

The death of Pilot Patterson and the Joss of his plane Queen of the Yukon at Mayo is a ter- rific shock to all the people of the North. The | disaster terminated the career of a courageous 24- year-old boy who was engaged in aerial pioneering |in the Yuon. However, notwithstanding that it: discourage those who are engaged in the develop- Thaw for $75,000 was cut down by the Judge to $25,000 will get pretty good payment for submitting| to a spanking at that. There are probably a lot of members of the K. K. K. in Virginia that will soon be denying that they ever belonged to the order. Alaska’s Future. (New York Times.) The correspondent of The Times at Washington paints a bright picture of the future of Alaska. A representative of the Department of the Inter- jor, chiefly concerned with the government of the Territory, spent last Summer in making an inde- pendent survey. . He did most of his traveling by air- plane, that form of transportation being peculiarly well fitted to conditions in the Far Northwest. A year ago Governor Parks made a 2,500-mile airplane circuit of his domain in a little over a week. In the old days the trip would have taken a year. Secretary Wilbur's representative camped with the pioneers of the retreating frontier, explored ter- rain hardly even mapped, talked with business men in the city, sought grazing areas for the rapidly expanding reindeer herd and brought back to his chief an ecouraging report. Its emphasis on scenery is especially signifcant. Most people still think of Alaska in terms of the gold rush. Many of the pioneers grew dis- couaged with the exhaustion of the easily worked mines. Their more far-sighted brethren realized that the Territory would have to build permanent- | ly on some more secure foundation. The fisheries, properly conserved, afford an inexhaustible resource. Even in off years the export of canned salmon has equaled in value all the other commerce of the Territory put together, including gold and silver and furs. But Alaska’s birthright of scenery may come in time to rank with the salmon as a priceless resource. An Editor Arrives at Hasty Ccnclusion. (Olympia Olympian.) Gene Howe, editor of the Amarillo (Tex.) News- Globe, who won fame some time ago by saying Lindbergh had a “swelled heat,” is reported to be the vietim of his own quick judgments. It happened this way. A circus came to town with one Bozo, chocolate-colored human who claimed to eat razor blades™ and electric light globes. Howe doubted it and sai dthe stunt was a fake. 'Thereupon Bozo's manager posted $200 and bet Howe Bozo did eat the glass and steel. Howe covered the wager, Bozo did his stuff for a big, interested crowd, and an x-ray examinaton afterwards is alleged to have re- vealed the blades and the glass in his stomach, “chewed” somewhat before he swallowed them. Howe paid, but at this distance we are inclined to doubt Bozo's ability ourselves. Suggests Substitution of Pick for Jawbone. (Seward Gateway.) Here is something strange. A miner will come in to a town once in a while and report an assay on his ore ran all the way from $800 to $25,000 a ton; that all he needs is money fo open up his prospect. Now this is what we were getting at; if such is the case why not concentrate upon mining a ton of the high grade and with the money so derived obtain the necessary backing. The malamute breed and the sled, the most romantic and treasured symbol of Alaska, is slow- ly but surely vanishing as a conveyor in the North in favor of the comfort and speed of the airplane. Thus does the machine age banish to oblivious one more of the cherished institutions of a more innocuous day—(Seward Gateway.)
