An Open Letter.
Ocean City. n. ]

Ocean City, N. j., Oct. Oath, 1904.
DIR. Julius Way,
Cape May Court House, N. ].
Dear Sir
/ have read the article of G. K. Lam
dis in the Cape May County Times, re-
garding the Swain Claim, evidently
written to injure you in the coming
election. | have too much confidence
in the people of Sea Isle City to think
that they would be influenced by such
an article, and | write this letter on be-
half of the present owners of the Whale
Beach tract to inform you that we do
not blame you in the least regarding
your interest in the Swain Claim, but
on the other hand we feel very much
indebted to you for the interest you
took in helping to clear our title.
The facts of the Whale Beach sale
are simply these: The Lands Estate
sold the land for a certain price clear of
all incumbrance. After receiving a
substantial payment down they refused
to straighten out the title. They knew
the Swain Claim and several others had
never been bought by them, and that
they never owned them. After "a long
delay in trying to make a settlement
with the Lands Estate we were in a
position where we either had to go into
a suit with them or TAKE what title they
consented to give; and being anxious to
get the matter closed up we decided to
suffer the injustice and clear the title
ourselves, which we did WITH YOUR
ASSISTANCE. | feel very much sur
prised and provoked to know that such
an article should be written by a person
knowing the facts of the matter as well
as Mr.. Lands does.
Feeling confident that the article will
fall short of the writer's aim and wish
ing for your reelection on November
8th ny a handsome majority, | am,
Very truly yours,
Jos. /. SCULL.

FREE BORN.

Any person or potentate in free country who imagines that the people, as a whole, will submit for any length of time to the usurpation of popular functions of government, and the eXer- else of despotic, arbitrary power, are fooling only themselves.
 It has been remarked heretofore in these columns that Alaska is under the autocratic control of three judges-one in each of the three judicial divisions into which the district of Alaska is di- vided. The authority vested in these three men is far-reaching, and it be- comes dangerous only when it Is eXer- cised by ignorant, weak, prejudiced, harrow and stupid men. The power so vested in a broad minded, intelligent man-a man of education and sound common sense-may be used to great advantage to all the people, but when it is centered in a weakling, who is governed only by his impulses, there is "power to hurt" not only himself but all the people who are unfortunate enough to be compelled to live in a community whose vital interests are the prey to the whims of official inca pacity.
 Alaska has suffered from such gov, ernmental misfts, and it's suferings promise to continue. The people of this commonwealth, however, eau as sert themselves to linited extent at least.
 Alaska is the property of the United States, let it be understood, and those American citizens, who make up the population of Alaska, can at least de- mand that the task masters or slave drivers" who arc sent here should be men with sense enough to comprehend the concrete fact that while Alaska is only a chattel of the United States, her citizens are free born.-Nome Nugget.
 The following bit of humor floating around IS full of truth: we near so much about forging to the front, taking time by the forelock, seizing the bull by the horns, and the like, that the man with the tail hold is entirely ig nored. Nine men who wisely follow, succeed, where one does who charges around at the front all the time. Ii you miss the forelocB, seize the tail. It is the hanging on more than the par ticuIar hold that counts. The man will go just as fast and nearly as far who has hold of the tail as the one hanging onto the horn; besides he can hold on better and is in less danger. Young man, don't be too anxious to get rapid ly to the front but hang onto what you have and you will get ahead in the world just as fast as you deserve"
