ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG Telephone No. 3-7?1 Entered as second-class matter November 7, 1912 at the postollice at Ju neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Q?e year, by mail $10.00 Six months, by mail ." 5.00 Per month, delivered l.Oo FI RTH'S SENTENCE THE EMPIRE has no feeling at all against Jacob Furth. In common with every good citizen it regrets exceedingly that he was unable to convince a jury of his peers that his con nection with the failure of the Shricker bank was not innocent of crime. This much to show lack of prejudice. But, does it not seem, when one considers all the facts of that case in the light of the jury's verdict, that the trial judge had Mr. Furth's millions in sight when he refused to impose a jail sentence and fixed a fine so small that it could easily be paid by Furth's bank as a commission on the collections it got out Shricker's bank after Furth came to know that it was in an insolvent condition? Poor Shricker had no money, and he went to the penitentiary. Did it ever occur to some of these judges that they are responsible in a large measure for the lack of confidence in the judiciary that, in an unwarranted degree undoubtedly, obtains throughout the country ? Of course, no man that knows Judge Hardin can imagine that any undue influence was brought to bear upon his court. He is the soul of intergrity and probity, as nearly all of the Judges on our benches are. But. apparently, he is not imune from the awe that has developed for great fortunes in this money grubbing age. At any rate he could not bring himself to think of Furth in jail, while he probably regards it as the proper abode for Shricker and many of the others that he has sentenced to prison for offenses that are not so great as that of which Furth was convicted. At the beginning: of the special session of Congress Chair man Underwood of the ways and means committee of the House estimated that it would take the House of Representatives three weeks and the Senate five weeks to pass the tariff bill. The House has lived up to his guess, now it is up to the Senate to complete its task in five weeks. If that is done the new tar iff should be placed in operation, as now provided in the bill, on August 1. and a new speed record for a general tariff bill will have been established. JAPANESE GAIN ONLY SHORT RESPITE WHILE the Japanese have probably prevented for the time being the passage of a bill by the California legislation that will deprive them of the privilege of obtaining the ownership of land, by insisting upon the observance by the United States of the treaty rights of their country, that give them the same privileges in the United States as citizens of other countries have, except that of becoming American citizens, their advantage is only temporary, if, indeed, it shall extend be yond the present session of the California legislature. It is gen erally conceded that Califoria will stop the acquision of lands in that State by Japanese even if it shall become necessary to pre vent the ownership of land by any alien in order to do so. There ire just enough Asiatic natives in California to bring home to ih ? people of that State the fact that conditions are not condu v ? to happiness or good government where there is a mixture ices. The unhappy conditions that prevail and have pre vailed in the Southern part of our own country, as well as upon N borderland of countries occupied by different races of peo everywhere. should and must not be permitted to come to upon the American Pacific coast. This country is a white m in's country now and it must remain so. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says the need for more brains in the Seattle police department is greater than the need for more men. Others have suspected it. SULZER AND MURPHY AX OPEN fight between Gov. William Sulzer, of New York, and Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany, is likely to develop over the direct primary election law that was prom ised the State by the Democratic platform upon which Gov. Sul zer made his campaign. Recently Gov. Sulzer sent a special mes sage to the legislature calling attention in plain language to the fact that those elected had pledged themselves to the people of New York to provide a direct primary election law; and that one had not been passed though the legislative session is nearing its end. It is said that the failure is due to the almost constant pres ence of Murphy at Albany. No one understands the situation better than Sulzer, and he has determined that the bill shall pass. Murphy or no Murphy. Sulzer's wrath at Murphy has been accumulating during the entire legislative session. It was not appeased in the least by Murphy's interference in behalf of Senator Stillwell. whom Sulzer had asked to resign and whose seat in the Senate was saved by the narrow vote of 28 to 21 upon the resolution to expel him. The New York World and other great newspapers of the metropolis are supporting the Governor in his fight for the di rect primary, and are advising him to demand the retirement of Murphy from Tammany control. If he should make the de mand, no doubt he would be supported by men high in that or ganiation, and by a large percentage of its rank and file. The Democratic Senate leader, Wagner, a member of Tammany, Sen ator Foley, of that organization, and others supported him in his fight on Stillwell, and they will, in all probability, go all the way with him if it should become a fight to the end. LANE'S IDEA OF CONSERVING Secretary Lane, of the Interior De partment. appreciates the needs of the present day in favoring the im mediate settlement and development of agricultural lands. This is far bet ter "conservation" than locking up the' lands for the use of generations j yet unborn.?Seattle Times. An Honest Plea. "Can I get off today?" asked the office boy. "Somebody dead in your family, I suppose," rejoined the sarcastic em ployer. "No, sir. But we're threatened. I don't think I'll survive if I don't feet to see the ball game."
