How many times, when investigation was being made into a man's death, has the hunter given the alibl that he saw something moving in the brush and fired thinking it was a deer? It has been the defense in an untold number of cases, and a mighty insufficient one as most of the States and now the Territory of Alaska are’ coming to realize. Aimed at stopping this very sort of thing, Senator Walker has introduced in the Territorial Legislature a bill which would make it negligent homicide to handle firearms in a reckless and care- less manner. The measure also applies to operation of vehicles, airplanes and motorboats. Surely shooting at an unknown moving object in the woods is carelessness of the most flagrant nature. And when the bullet has too often found its human target it is too late to do very much about it. Alaska is a land of mountains, woods and bountiful game. Here they come from the four corners of the earth to seek their trophies in the last great hunting ground. Already steps have been taken for the conservation of this wild life, and it would appear that Senator Walker's plan for conserving human life would fit right in with the program. Just as potential death weapons in the hands of a reckless person the auto, airplane motorboat. The problem on this score has not yet reached the proportions it has in the States but increased population, more roads and airways will are bring about a similar condition here. It is never too soon to protect human life, no matter from what source the danger, nor to guard against weapons in the hands of fools ONE DUTY OF GOVERNMENTS.

It ruth- lessly cuts the forests and pollutes the stream, but it is building the section as it profits. This may be excusable but there comes a time when the activities of the company will do untold harm to| other settlers in the area and when its pollution of | the waters of the river will interfere with the rights of others. At this point, it is the business of the Government to step in and protect the public rights. company will surrender their privileges. In fact, they will yell loudly about the sacredness of prop- erty, the sanctity of contracts and the holiness of | any law or constitutional provision that affirms their selfish course.

They sank her One of her W was drowned. Two were saved and put in irons. There was a sensation. Canada s indignant, saying that even if the “I'm Alone” was suspected of being a rum-runner, this was no way to treat Canadian citizens on the high seas, in defiance of every international law and courtesy. Stop a moment and think what might have hap- | pened if the “I'm Alone” had been a Russian fish- ing schooner and the Coast Guard ship a.Japanese destroyer. Or if the encounter had taken place in the Adriatic between a Yugo-Slav merchantman and an Italian cruiser. There would have been immediate sword-rattling and diplomatic passages, ultimatums, a world crisis. And war would have hovered men- acingly in the background. But no one mentioned, or even though of war |PA0Y dwas "? be stocked with trout, | record for length of dredging sea- The | 3ccording to arrangements made‘ con in the Fairbanks district. when the Coast Guard sank the “I'm Alone.” affair was considered on both sides in a light reflecting its importance, which was really small.

Chief Justice Duff of Canada and Supreme Court Justice Van| Devanter of the United States have examined all |the evidence, and recommend that the United States apologize to Canada and pay $25,000 in damages to members of the crew and their dependents. There seems no reason why our Government should not immediately accept these findings, and | make good on the affair with willing good grace. When you are wrong, the manly and dxgmfied thing to do is to admit it and make what amends you can When a genuinely friendly feeling exists between two countries, there is little trouble in adjusting satisfactorily almost any dispute.
