THE SOCIALISTS AND "FREE SPEECH."
1
THE EMPIRE tlys evening gives space to a communication
adopted by the Juneau Socialists' Local in which protest is
made against the enforcement of the city ordinance prohib- 1
iting street speaking in Juneau. We do this without apology, not
withstanding that we disagree with the contention of the So
cialists that the question of "free speech" is involved in the mat- i
ter. and notwithstanding that some of the assumed premises are 1
not in accordance with the facts. 1
Whether or not conditions existing at Juneau make it neces
sary to prohibit street speaking or whether or not the passage of (
the ordinance of prohibition was wise policy, the ordinance and ?
its enforcement, neither technically nor in spirit, interefere with
"free speech." They constitute no more a suppression of "free 1
speech" than it would be a suppression of a "free press" to pre
vent the publication of a newspaper on a public street. The t
streets are public property?not private. They are public prop- c
erty for a spectic purpose?to accommodate traffic. They i
should be used for nothing that interferes with the purpose of;r
their creation. We believe that it is not an improper use of the 1
streets, so far as public policy is concerned, to hold meetings on c
them when the meetings do not interrupt or interfere with traf- t
tic. The wisdom or folly of the Juneau ordinance should be meas- a
ured solely upon the question as to whether or not its adoption
was necessary to protect the public in its right to use the streets ^
for the purpose for which they were intended, but whether wise B
or foolish it should be complied with as long as it is the law of i
the community. U
f 1 1 V. - .1 A 11- A - 1" AL _ ? 1 III
ineie nas ueeu uu aueinpi on uie part ui me cny council,
or any one else so far as we know, to censorize anybody's private y
or public speech in this city. No one, so far as we have been in- t
formed, has attempted in any manner to interfere in any wayii
with anyone's political, religious or social beliefs or his expres- ?
sion of them. The city authorities have enforced the anti-street a
speaking ordinance against all, and the first man to come in con
tact with the law was one who preached the gospel of the lowly t
Nazarene?and not a political or social reformer or agitator. n
The statement that "the City of Seattle tried for two years b
to suppress 'free speech' " is not correct. There has not been a K
time within the last eight years when meetings could not be held l(
on most of Seattle's down town streets without interference from a
the police. During the administration of former Mayor William
Hickman Moore, confessedly one of the ablest, most effective and,
most earnest friends of union labor and laboring men generally
that has been in public life in the West, he quarreled with some a
of the Socialists because he refused to permit street speaking on w
certain streets where traffic was heavy. Many Socialists at that li
time were arrested because they refused to abide by his conclu- 0
sion that meetings on these streets intrfered with their proper use.
However, the matter was finally arranged on that basis and there
have been no meetings for years in the places where Mayor Moore 0
refused to permit them. The quarrel with Judge John E. Hum- .
phries was a different matter entirely. Judge Humphries did not
endeavor to enforce any law or ordinance except such as he had
made by his "government by injunction" process. He granted in
junctions against street speaking in places where they had been
permitted by the municipal authorities on the application of men
whose places of business fronted on those streets and places. He
then arrested people wholesale for violating his injunctions.!
Among the most active of those opposing his high-handed pro
ceedings were the city authorities of Seattle, his fellow judges
on the bench, the Governor of the State, the Post-Intelligencer,
Sun. and Star newspapers.

ALASKANS HOPE WITH CONFIDENCE. ]
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN says the Chamberlain Alaska rail- ]
road bill will pass the Senate next week, and it is said that i
the House of Representatives will reach the Wickersham bill, ]
practicaly the same measure, today and begin its debate there. H
Thus are we learning to have confidence that Congress has ceased i
to be a "do nothing" proposition and that it is organized along
constructive lines.
At any rate, the indications are that Alaska's hour has struck.
If the friends of the railroad bill are true prophets, the measure
will become a law before the winter shall have passed, and with
the opening of spring development at the Westward will be well
underway, and the people of the great Interior will be rejuvinated <
with a new faith and a new inspiration.
The dispatches yesterday tell us of three or four concerns ;
that have added 1Q,000 men to the payroll since the first of Jan- ;
uary. That is the class of news that all like to hear.
GOV. BRADY RETURNS TO MISSION WORK.
THE truth of the old saying that "it is hard to teach an old
dog new tricks" has been again exemplified. Former Gov.
John G. Brady, a veteran among Alaskan missionaries,
has gone to China on an educational mission after devoting many
years to secular affairs. Usually men return to the work to which
they devoted the years of their early manhood notwithstanding
that they may have been often called away from it in the course
of life. The well wishes of hosts of personal friends will follow
Gov. Brady and his work to China-.
Well, there is this satisfaction in a Constitutionalist victory:
It is a Huerta defeat.

UTAH COPPER HAS
VERY PROFITABLE YEAR
The New York News-Letter contains
he followiug, concerning the Utah
Copper company, one of the proper
ies of Col. D. C. Jackllng:
"Utah Copper closed the year 1913
vith a gross production in the neigh- ?
lorhood of 120,000,000 pounds of cop- *
>er, or 114,000,000 poundB net. TbiB J
igure is the greatest ever obtained by ?
he company and compares with that j.
>f 1912 of 91,366,337 pounds net and *
>3,514,419 pounds net in 1911. J
"While it is impossible to give more ^
han a very rough estimate of earnings ^
it this time, total net profits for tho ?
welve months ending December 31st j
ihould be in the neighborhood of $8,
>00,000. There will be disbursed iu dlv- 1
dends up to the close of the year j
oughly $4,750,000, leaving the not sur- J
>lus for the year $3,250,000. While J
luick assets will show an improved j
ondition a part of the surplus earnings j I
lave been expended iu construction , *
tnd in prepaid stripping expense. ! <
"Utah's operations in 1913 have been <
onsiderably handicapped as a result <
if the labor strike which took place <
tear the close of 1912. This resulted i
n delay in stripping operations and {
lecessit ifed extracting the ore from J
ower grade areas during the entire <
ear. j
"The close of 1913 sees the concen- _
rators working at the greatest capuc
ty in their history. For certain
aonths the plants have been treating
,s much as 24,000 tons daily, or an in
rease of 4,000 tons over the earlier
ated capacity of the mills. With the
onnage of the mine now up to this
igure, and with the shovels gradually \
ieing moved back into ore of better j
rade, the outlook for increased pro- <
uction at lower costs at Utah during 1
he coming year is exceedingly favor- J
ble." <
