THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1936. ;or(en made that any one with sufficient money can “beat the rap,” as the underworld puts it. Hauptmann hasn’t any money; many other guilty men haven't ___|had money, but still delay after delay has marked e i \lj\}.‘:; the course of justice. It isn't so much a question of ey guilt or innocence. Every person is entitled to a fair trial, and, if there is any question about it, a new one where circumstances warrant. It is after conviction that delays begin. A merry-go-round of legal machin- ery that runs over months and years is put into motion and endless expense ensues while the criminal sits| calmly in a nice warm jail, or is out on bond, con-| vincing himself, if no one else, that he is innocent.

(New York World-Telegram) Reading the speeches of Britain’s Eden, France's Flandin and Belgium’'s Van Zeeland before the League of Nations Council in London, we are reminded of a story of a similar debate said to have occurred on this continent some forty years ago—in a solemn as- sembly of the high council of the Cherokee nation, at Tahlequah, Indian Territory. | As Europe’s diplomats over the week-end deplored Germany’s abrogation of “sacred treaties” and shiv- ered for the future of collective security, just so did the austere Cherokee senators deplore a similar lack | of integrity on the part of the Great White Father in Washington. The Congress of the United States had created what was known as the Dawes Commission to go into the Indian Territory 4nd negotiate new treaties with the Indian tribes. As usual, white men wanted more land. It became necessary, therefore, that a companion resolution be approved by the Cherokee council cre- ating a commission of Cherokees to treat with the | Dawes Commission. (Be it remembered that the Cherokee Nation was a proud and constitutional r public, which once sent to Washington no less a per- sonage than Sam Houston with full credentials to act as Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Pleni- potentiary.) ! So this companion resolution was introduced in | the Cherokee council. And for three long days, so llw‘ tory goes, sonorous oratory echoed through the coun- | An indication of the wide interest among sports-|cil house at Tahlequah.

You can still take 'em but only up to 40 per day, and you can only have 80 in your possession at any one time. Thus is the first trout regulation placed in effect in the Territory of Alaska; a very -definite and pro- nounced step in the history of the Territory. It means that while Alaska is the only remaining American fishing paradise, it stands a fair chance of continu- ing as such. Since the advent of the airplane, good fishing wat- ers have become easily accessible. In less than an hour the fisherman can be landed on a lake that is alive with trout, and, heretofore, there was no limit on how many he could catch. That was all right for some’| few thousands of us who live in the Territory. We| could have fished forever, probably, and not caught them all, for Alaskans are conservative fishermen and only catch what they need. But each year more! and more fishermen are coming from the States to enjoy the famous Alaska angling. They pay the price; they should be entitled to good fishing, but as the number of sportsmen increases the number of fish is sure to decrease unless a limit is placed somewhere. That is the point back of the 40 bag limit on trout. | teams HAPPY —BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes todoy, their tirthday anniversary, .3 the follois-' ing: APRIL 1.
