SAYS THERE'S SMALL DANGER
E. J. Westlake Believes Leech Lake
Indians Won't Lift Scalps.

Secretary E. j. Westlake of the Com
mercial club has returned with his fam
lily after ten-day outing on the Leech
Lake reservation as guests Of Major G.
l.. Scott. The reported Indian uprising
amounts to nothing in Mr.. Westlake's
opinion. The sale of liquor to the wards
Of the nation has been reduced to a mini
mum and save for the influence of boot
leggers, who make some trouble, the red
man is perfectly quiet. Mr.. westlake in
his jaunts penetrated the woods as fal
as 125 miles north Of Walker

Without any apparent fear Of the wrath

PAYNE PUBLISHES
MERRITT'S ANSWER

of more than one salary Mr.. Merritt
had nothing to do with the appointment
of DR.. John E. Jones, who resigned
shortly after the postmaster assumed
charge.
Wholesale Explanations.
Regarding the nine or ten women
who Mr.. Tulloch alleges drew salaries
without working, the postmaster ex-
plains that one of these women was
dropped from the rolls before he enter
ed the office. Another never reported to
MIN at all, and was dismissed from
GATE of his installment. Three others
named by Mr.. Tulloch have never been
on the rolls since Mr.. Merritt's appoint
ment, nor have they received any pay.
Inc remaining five, all worthy women
IN needy circumstances and anxious to
perform their duty, were continued. and
save one, who resigned, are still per-
forming daily service.
The charge that Mr.. Merritt's step-
son, H. K. Van Alstyne, was appointed
chief Of the registry division at s.. 200
per year was false, according to the
ROSSAiNStSi, ueCduSe MI. van AlStyne
was not Mr. Merritt's stepson and never
received the salary named He was ap
pointed because he was competent, hay-
ing had four or five years experience,
and is now in the registry division at a
salary of $1,000.
Mr.. Tulloch strongly urged that the
washington postmaster should be a
Washingtonian, neglecting the fact that
his father, who was postmaster, was an
outsider, and that Mr.. Tulloch himself
is not Washington man, but was
brought here from distant State and
for several years has been citizen of
Maryland. Mr.. Tulloch accused Mr..
Merritt of appointing stepson to
lucrative position, but neglected to state
that the senior Tulloch when postmas-
ter appointed S. W. Tulloch cashier.
Mr. Merritt concludes by saying that
the charges are an ostensibly disinter-
ested statement when they were really
made by a ''splenetic and disappointed
man"
