CARD FROM
Mr.. WARREN
Open Letter Concerning His
Appointment and Accept
dnCe of Office
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.


In accepting the Office of District At
torney, I desire to publicly thank
Commissioners Ruddell and Haviland
for the appointment and confidence
thereby made manifest. These gentle
men being of different political faith.
l do not consider the appointment nor
its acceptance by me, political in the
sense politics is generally used. The
duties of the office will be discharged
as well as l can on these lines.
To the public / desire to say that
| accepted the appointment absolutely
free from party, or personal pledge
or promise; that my only obligation
of any kind is contained in my Off
cial oath to perform the duties of the
Office according to law, and as we'll
as | am able; my personal belief is
that public Office should never be
used for private purpose; so l have
neither friends to reward, enemies
to punish, nor masters to serve; it
will be seen, therefore, that l am in
dependent and that my only obligation
is to the people and my own con-
science.
Although having previously sought
public Office l have never been sus-
pected nor accused of being a politi-
clan and | assure you that l am not
now seeking further honor; and since
all men are equal before the law, the
difference which socially exists be-
tween the tramp and the millionaire
will not be observed by me in the dis
charge of the duties appertaining to
the office. None shall be unjustly ac-
cused nor prosecuted in malice; nor
shall any who wilfully violate the law
go unwhipped of justice; the law
draws no distinction between persons
and none will be observed by me-
The little l may be able to do to
promote justice, public tranquility
and the advancement of the inter-
ests of the county, l will do without
fear or favor, or hope or expectation
of further reward than by law pro-
vided. 1t must not however be under
stood by these promises that l mean
to deprive myself of all discretion or
to carry these principles into the alb
surd or punctilious observance OF
trifling matters; and furthermore, you
must remember that government is
always as good as its people; you re-
member further that the law is feeble
and the arms of it's officers weak and
almost powerless unless strengthened,
encouraged and assisted by you. l,
therefore. call on you, without regard
to party. to aid, and in every lawful
way assist all the officers OF THIS
county in requiring the due observ-
ance of the law on the part of all, be
thev ever so rich or ever so poor, and
thus secure lawfully the public peace,
the prtection of life and property and
equal rights, duties and privileges to
all.
So pledging myself, and asking your
aid and assistance for all the officers
of this county charged either with the
of order or the pubic
interest of it's citizens, am yours

Just yonder he sits In his shaded seat,
the veteran old and gray,
Sits there In the dim twilight of life
dreaming the hours away;
All bent Is the form once ripe with
strength and dim are the time
worn eyes.
And withered the arms that swung the
pick In search of the golden prize.
Enfeebled now are the once strong
limbs that followed the mountain
trails,
All drawn the face that would one
day smile defiance at beating
gales;
And weak the voice that was wont to
ring with the ballads OF "Auld
Lang Syne"
In the days OF old, In the days of gold,
in the days Of Forty-nine.
He sits and dreams OF the weary
march by the side Of the creep.

OF the roadside camps when the chip
fires cleaned like gems in the
breast Of night,
or the talks In the blanket beds that
kept the beacon OF hope alight,
OF the whitening bones of the played
out steers that sank to death in
the sand,
or the first sweet draught from the
sparkling spring at the foot of the
mountain pine,
In the days Of old. in the days of gold
in the days OF forty.nine.
Again does he tramp through the
rocky gulch with his pick and
shovel and pan.
Again does he delve in the grave
bars. his barred arms bronzed with
the tan,
Again does he start with a thrill of JOY
as he washes the precious dirt,
And the golden colcrs lie meath tn,
eye with expectancy all alert.
Again does he note the ~increasinl
weight of dust in the buckskir
bag,
As he sits at night by the cabin fir,
in the shadow of the mountain
crag
And blows the sand from the rough
horn spoon. while his eyes will
contentment shine,
In the days Of old. in the days of gold
In the days of Forty-nine.
And thus he sits in the dim twilight
all bent and grizzled and gray.
And dreams as the sands from hi
glasses of life re~lentlessly ruI
away,
Recalls the triumphs of fortunes made
the remorse owe s%quandered gold
The pinch of poverty ere again tn

And thus he'll sit till the fickerinI
spark of life TO ashes has burne,
And he's laid to rest in the peaceful
sleep, which his life OF turmoil
has earned
When dreams of the days when tn

Doctor Longeway Is very anxious

the matter.
