the Council the Marshal has made as
so called Labor Club Now, suppose
these raids were repeated, as urged
by some, continuously during the pres
ent administration under the direction
of the Council, and the Mayor of the
city, If necessary, with like results I;
and supposing at the end of the period
actions should be brought against the
| city for damages suffered by reason
| of these raids and the court should
decide that these raids had as matter
of law all been unauthorized and il
| legal and large damages We're recovered
against the city by reason thereof,
would the City Council, the Mayor,
and the Marshal be justified in the
course they had taken in view Of the
decisions I have quoted; or suppose
the Marshal when directed to make
these raids is advised, by what he re-
CARDS as good authority, that he him
self may be personally responsible for
such damage II the raids are Illegal,
does any fair-minded person believe
that he is called upon to assume such
responsibility in view of these de-
cisions. For my part, l take the
ground, without any question as to
the justice and right of it. that the
law should at least be more definitely
settled before any public officer is
called upon to take so great personal
responsibility under it and before he
is justified in assuming so much finan-
cial risk to the municipality he repre-
| Sents.
In his third and fourth conclusions
counsel makes the statement in sub
stance that it devolves upon the Mayor
- e -.
effect the prohibition ordinances, but
he fails to point out the specific duties
belonging to each in this respect.
take it, however, that he does not
claim that the Mayor is to actually
perform any of the specified acts men
toned in the statutes defining the
duties of Marshal as quoted by him
that is to say-he does not, | take 1t
claim that the Mayor is required tc
actually make arrests and perform
like duties of the Marshal If he
means that it is the Mayors duty tc
direct the Marshal to perform these
duties, / desire to state that | have
already fully given such instructions
to the Marshal and have particularly
instructed him to do all that was re
quired of him by law with reference
to the enforcement of the prohibition
VI Tic tlIyy buL Win tbis
proviso, that ] did not want to take
the responsibility for the destruction
of any property in the performance O.
such duties unless it was clearly justi
fled by law. While / have as matte,
of fact given these directions to tht
Marshal l do not consider that they
were at all necessary, for ] believe ht
has been and still Is willing to per
form his full duty in this matter with
in the scope Of his legal power as he
understands 1t.
Furthermore / call attention to the
fact that the duties of the Marshal are
expressly prescribed by statute the
same as those of the Mayor and all
other officers elected by the vote oi
the people. He Is not appointed BY
the Mayor and Is not subject to re.
moval from ONCE by him. He car
only be removed from once In the
Cañon City record., 1906-09-06

manner prescribed by the ordinances
of the city, which l quote as follows:
Article 3, of the ordinance relating to
officers. Sec. l. Any city officer guilty
of a wilful violation of any of his
official obligations, of culpable official
negligence, derelication of duty or of
conduct inconsistent with official char
acter, shall be subject to removal from
office.
Sec. 2. All charges preferred against
any municipal officer of the city for
any cause or causes that shall be suffi-
cient at law for the removal of any
to the City Council, and shall clearly
specify any such cause or causes of
removal.
Sec. provides that the City Council
shall hear the charges against the ac-
cused, and Sec. 5 provides that the
innocence or guilt of the accused must
be determined by vote of the council.
1t will be seen therefore that If the
City Marshal or any other officer, and
of course including the Mayor, is
! deemed wilfully derelict or negligent
in the performance of his official
duties, any citizen of Canon City is
authorized to prefer charges against
him and that such charges must be
heard and determined by the very
council that has passed the ordinance
and resolution which the petitioners
ask to have enforced.
| summarize my position in response
to the petition as follows
First stand for any legal prose-
cution of every violation of any and
all of the city ordinances, and l am
ready, as l always have been, to CO.
operate with the proper city officials
to this end.
Second hold that If the City
Council was authorized by law to de-
clare the Walton Club public nuis-
ance and to summarily abate 1t, that
it also has the power to enforce the
resolution without assistance from
me, and that 1t must take the respon-
sibility for failue to enforce it.
Third believe personally that the
Walton resolution is clearly unwar-
ranted by law upon the authorities
which / have quoted, but l favor the
beginning of some action or proceed
ing, If practicable. to judicially deter
mine the question Of its validity, and
If in such action or proceeding 1t is
declared valid, am ready to join the
other proper city officials in an effort
to carry the resolution into effect.
FOURTH contend that all city
ohhcidis cnarSed WIN tne duty OF en-
forcing the law, should themselves
thoroughly respect the law and be
guided by 1t in the performance of
such duties.
. F'ifth.-I believe that the failure to
enforce the liquor ordinances in Canon
City is not due to wilful neglect of
duty on the part Of any of It's officials,
but rather to the fact that, under the
Constitution of the United Staces and
the Constitution and laws of the State
} Of Colorado, anyone charged with a
J violation OF such ordinances is en-
titled to trial by jury, and owing to
the unfortunate state Of public senti-
ment 30 far no jury has been found to
convict.
Much more might be said along the
lines discussed. but believe that all
y has been said that Ia necessary. and ]

will only add in conclusion that have
endeavored in this statement to define
my position as frankly and as clearly
as possible. | presume il Is too much
to expect that | have succeeded in
iustifying my position with all, but
do entertain the hope that every in
telligent and fair minded man and
woman will be led to see from this
statement that, at least, there are two
sides to this important and very per-
picking question; and 1t may be that
1t will have, as | hope, some influence
in making us all more liberal and
charitable in judging each others mo-
tiyes and actions in connection there
with. l shall try in the future as
have in the past, to serve the city
faithfully and well. | invite the CO.
operation of every citizen who is con-
cerned for the welfare of the city in
this endeavor, not with the expecta-
ton of securing all the good results

DIR. James e. Armstrong RetIres

DIR, James e. Armstrong Retires
The staff correspondent of TIE
Baltimore Sun, who reported for
his paper the proceedings OF the
Baltimore Conference, Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in
session at Cumberland, Nd,
sent the following notice last
Wednesday OF the withdrawal from
the active ministry by the Rev.Dr.
James E. Armstrong:
A pathetic moment came shortly
before adjournment at noon. Rev.
DR.. j. E. Armstrong Of Salem, Va,
presiding elder of the Roanoke
district, after making report OF
the work OF the churches under
his care, asked the conference to
relieve him of active work after
So years of constant service. His
voice trembling with emotion. the
venerable secretary told briefly Of
his labors in the conference, of bis
struggle against hardship during
the Civil War, when the Methodist
Church divided, and Of the decline
of his health, which forced him to
take the step.
He said that he had hoped that
his phyical strength wonld improve
and had chung to his duties, but
that several weeks since his ply
stefan said his withdrawal from
active service was imperative.
He declared that he would
devote next year to completing his
history Of the Baltimore Confer
euce, on which he has been at work
for some time. This, he fondly
hoped. would crown his life of
service in the conference.
The ministers seemed deeply
affected by DR.. Armstrong; with.
drawal from the conference, and
Bishop Wilson offered brief but
eloquent tribute Of worth TO his
comrade. Bishop Wilson and DR..
Armstrong entered the conference
almost at the same time, and the
history Of their work is entwined
with the history of the Methodist
Church in the South during the
last half century,
