Shook Leaves Official Life
 For Farming

John W. Shook, United States deputy marshal at Skagway, received word on the Dolphin that his resignation which had been forwarded to Marshal Shoup at Juneau June ] has been accepted. Mir. Shook will quit official life at SSagway July l to return to Idaho where he has a large stock farm to which he will give his personal atten- tiOn in the future.
 Mir. Shook has served as deputy Unted States ma shsl at Dyea, Sitka ard Skagway for more than six years. This included service at Dyea during the early months of 1898 when the Kloudixe rush had brought the most notorious criminals of the earth tO that place and Sgagway. During that time and afterward, notwithstanding that stories of grating and corruption by Lynn canal ofiicialdom were thu order, Mir. Shook conducted his office with such 6dility and courage that there has never been a breath of scandal connected with his name.
 While deputy marshal at Dyea, Mir. Shook handled some of the worst characters that ever came north He arrested murdCrers and highSayman who had made regulations as man killers with as little fear or hesitation as he manifested when running in a harmless drunken man. On one occasion he fought with 8 prisoner for his life on the Dyea trail In the course of the struggle he received a gunshot wound which crippled one of his hands for life, and he only won the battle by beating his asSsilsnt into in- sensibility.
 Mir. Shook will have lacked only two weeks of serving as deputy marshal at Skagway for four years. During that time he has made more than 800 arrests, and he has shown the same courage and faithfulness here that has marked his entire official career in Alaska
 In accepting, Mir. SnOok's resignation, Marshal J. NJ. Shoup writes under date of June IT:
 q am in receipt of your letter dated June first, advising me that you do not desire to retain the position of office of deputy marshal after the close of the present fiscal year. Iregret very much that your compensation is not sufficient to warrant you iu remaining at S<ag- way. I would be very much pleased to have had you remain in the service so long as I am marshal, but understand the situation and could not expect you to remain under the circumstances. You have always discharged your du- ties as deputy marshal in a very satis- factory way, and doubt if will be able to find anyone to take your place as we'll qualified to perform the various duties of the office"

1921.
A new feature of the convention this
year will be the photographers ex-

who have any article of equipment of
doubtful utility to themselves can find
opportunity to trade it for something
that may met some more urgent re-
quirement of their work.
The exhibits of photographs is ex-
pected to be more complete than at
any previous convention. AS the as
ISOLATION grows the members have
learned to look upon this as one of
the most effective agencies for i'm
provement of the profession, and to
recognize that there is not a photo
grapher in the state but may by his
work suggest something to the most
expert.
To encourage exhibitors a gold
medal is offered for the best pictures
from without the state and to all Iowa
exhibitors will be given diplomas in
the order of their rankings.
j. w. Reynolds, of Washington, is
president of the association, and Chas.

He could think of no reason why he
Should not be heard in behalf of his
party. But he did not say anything OF
the kind. He hired railway train and
begun to make speeches from the rear
platform. Tie American people, the
masses who had read so much about
him iii the opposition and mugwump
press, focked out of curiosity to see
the alleged monster. They saw him
and heard him. When they saw his
beaming, generous, manly, wholesome
face they were converted to his stan
dard and ever afterward they believed
/ in Hanna When he began his work
to bring capital and labor together the
busy bodies questioned his motives and
ascribed all kinds of improper inten-
tons as the inspiration for his actions.
He did not fight back He did not take
to the highway with banners announc-
ing that he was a friend of the labor
ing man. More than that, he did not
think of doing any of those things. He
went on in his wholesome way OF do
ing what he thought was right, all the
time candidly saying what he meant
and the public came to understand him
on that subject. Working men could
not hear him without believing in him.
Men like John Mitchell who knew him
best loved him most.
Men were sometimes heard to say
that Hanna wanted to be president;
that he was in a conspiracy against
Roosevelt. ETC. The President knew
that if Hanna wanted to be president
that there would be no conspiracy
about it; that he would say so. When
the President telegraphed to him that
he wanted Ohio. he got it. Hanna was
brave enough in that. matter to change
front under fire, the highest test OF
bravery.
Hanna was one of the few men who
have made lasting impression upon
American public life without the aid
of banners or brass bands.
He was the highest illustration of
the winning qualities of openhearted
candor and thoroughbred courage. He
dearly loved fight. not for the sake
of the fight but for the sake of the
cause.
His disinterested friendship for Will.
liam Mckinley will go into American
history without a parallel in the re-
lations of men. Theirs was friendship
so honest and sincere that each could
do as he pleased without motive be-
ing questioned On such basis alone
could sincere friendship long exist.
The dead mans soul was beautiful
ly illustrated in the letter he wrote
to the President on his dying bed
which the President answered in the
same manly spirit. These letters IL
lustrate that the bravest are the ten
derest
The American people; our common
humanity, have been honored by the
life of Senator Marcus A. Hanna, whom
the records now show is out of ou1
American public life forever.

SENATOR HANNA IS INDEED DEAD

Des Moines CapitaI.--Dear old Sen
ator Mark Hanna is indeed dead. We
never realize that our dear ones have
been borne from the front parlor to
their resting place in the cemetery I'M
til tho flowers have been removed and
the chairs and settees have been put
back in their accustomed places,
and there is no footstep OF
him who laid under the wealth
of flowers motionless and needless
of the tears that were pouring from
living eyes. We all realize now that
Mark Hanna is dead and no more sc
far as this earth is concerned. The
Ohio legislature has taken down the
decorations; removed the flowers, with
their notices, and has elected a newer
made vacant by the death of the gen,
erous, manly, forgiving. great hearted
honest, patriotic business man who be.
came a statesman and leader of ma
TONS policies and thought within eight
years. Somehow the people came to
know him for just what he was. He
took the public into his confidence
early and continued his relation in that
respect In securing a campaign fund
for the republican party in 1896 he
asked wealthy men to contribute, and
told them what he intended to do with
the money He placed the money in
the hands of the treasurer of the ma
tional committee, and there were no
disbursements without vouchers. The
national committee became a great and
systematic business organization. For
the first time in any political campaign
the establishment was open for inspec-
ton. Every department was as &C.
cessible as the departments of the
Methodist Book Concern. 1t never oc-
cured to Mr.. Hanna that these things
were unusual. He was not posing; he
was not telling the press that he had
revolutionized the national committee;
he was not denouncing his predeces-
sors nor maligning them; he was sim
ply doing business in his own plain
old way. He was reformer without
headlight, with no advance guard of
heralds When he was doing these
things the yellow journals were car
looming him as the. representative OF
the trusts, wearing a cloak covered
with dollar marks. He said nothing;
did not even boast in private that his
hands were clean; did not stand
around the street corners asserting
that he was being prosecuted for his
many virtues. More than that, he
did not think of those things because
he was inately honest through and
through. He was not heard to say that
he would ultimately convince the
American people sthat he was honest.
He never announced any purpose OF
winning over his enemies.
He declared that he would finally Sc
cure public esteem. He was too hon
est to think of those things. He simp-
ly went on with his work. When he
come to manage second campaign he
decided to go on the stump himself.
