FRIDAY, JUNK 17, 1910 Dana Slecth, the fire-eating cdl tor of the Evcnlne News, was ar rested last week on the charce of nssault and battery In which he at tempted to whip two policemen. Newspaper men are bad "actors" sometimes when they get stirred up. , , The trial of Gordon Dickey, who was Indicted by the grand jury as bciutr implicated in the Hindu Ira cas here, has terminated and the defendant found guilty. It was generally believed that the jury would disagree, but such was not the case. Outside of a few irrcgu laritlcs the trial apparently was fair and the defendant was accorded am tile opportunity to defend him self. The counsel for the defense was manifestly weak, however, and Mr. Dickey might as well have conducted his own defense and saved the attorneys' hire. While the jury's finding was a disap pointment and a matter of regret to the great majority of our citizens, it was fully realized that no effort would be spared on the part of the prosecution to secure a conviction. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Dickey and his estimable fam ily. Like many others, he did not realize the enormity of the offence under the law he was committing when he participated in the cere monies incident to the exodus of the children of Ilindostau from St. Johns soil. While ignorance is no lawful excuse, in this case It has its extenuating points so far as the people of St. Johns arc concerned. The provocation and incentive for the "outbreak" is here well appre ciated and understood, and while the law may brand the participants as criminals it is unlikely that they will ever be regarded as such in the eyes of St. Johns people. No cen sure is directed at the jury for their verdict, nor yet to the prosecution insofar as lawful and legitimate methods were adopted to secure a conviction. Twelve men have spoken and we believe they did so Snow on Hinduism Editor Review: Again I say to you, I beg your pardon for en croaching upon your generosity, but having been asked by at least u a score of good citizens of St. Johns my opinion in regard to the final result of the Hindu litigation, I give this, my opinion, to-wit: The Hindus of St. Johns, as of most all other cities, arc here as a carload of cattle arc at the stock yards of any market of the Pacific coast; they arc here because a certain class of people can make money out of importation of Hindus ns a stock buyer can make money on a car load of beef. Now If there were no money in shipping a carload of beef to the stockyards there would be no shipping. Now, if there were no no money in shipping a cargo of Hindus to the Pacific coast there would be 110 Hindus shipped. Now, I regard a Hindu seeking labor in St. Johns as a stray cow pasturing upon the commons and more definitely upon the lawn of some laboring man owning the same In St. Johns. The Hindus, in my opinion, arc but cows pasturing upon the lawns and laud of the working man of St. Johns as well as all other cities of the Pacific coast. Now, if a Hin du Is found trespassing upon my rights as a citizen of St. Johns, the Hindu should be treated as a tres passing cow upon my lawn. I should not abuse the Hindu any more than I would abuse a tres passing cow. Now, should I for spite knock the horns off the tres passing cow, or tear her tail out by the roots, I would be guilty of cru elty to animals. Now, my opinion is this: that through the misfortune of hasty and uuthoughtcd spite some of our citizens arc guilty of cruelty unnecessarily inflicted upon the Hindus. Notice should have been given to them to the ef fect that they arc undesirable citl zcus, that their manner and mode of living is such that 25 or 40 will rent a 16x20 room, and if the weather is warm they will sleep up on the floor one deep, and if the weather is cold they will sleep two deep, and If very cold three deep, and I presume that if they turn over or change their position once every two hours that each shall share equally as to the animal heat of each other. I might ns well say right here, in my opinion it is against the interest of the American laborer that the Hindu Is imported. Now, in my opinion the importa tion of a Hindu should be the same as the importation of any foreign article, there should be a revenue collector whose duty it should be to collect the same as they would col lect upon any foreign article im- "vMEH YOU GO ON "YOUR VACATION TAKE AGOOIK laaawm 1 U7X w.Bi'E 1 wm Book TO READ HELPS you TOKEEP COOL I IF you have never looked at the pan of YOUR bankbook and watched the "balance to your credit" grow, you yet have the moat Interesting of all books to read.

And on through the trackless realms of air. The soul grows weary of us, and this life Casta us off by nature's common law, To wander where without a friend or wife, Through endless space no mortal ever saw. ixirted, such as diamonds and cost ly laces, and in that event Hindu importation would greatly decrease as there would be no chance for speculation. I now say that I re Kret that any white man should suffer n penalty lor driving these trespassers from his private lawn. yet the law must be obeyed. Now, if it api)ears on trial that our citizens have treated these tres passers cruelly, they will have to abide the consequences; although regret the same. The law must be obeyed, is the opinion I offer the public, let the consequences fall where and on whom they may. CAPT, H. I,. SNOW.
