MORE ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR PUBLIC AT ASBURY

ASBURY PARK, July 13.=Mayor
the Beach Commissioners Wednesday
night and in no uncertain tones voic-
ed his sentiments on the management
of the boardwalk and beach p%avilions.
81 don't know if you realize the sen
timent of summer visitors" he
said, but it is a fact that the pavil-
ions and other places along the beach
front have been gradually taken away
until today the general public has
nothing left"
Then the mayor told how the Ar
cade was practically cut off from the
people, how the latter were excluded
from the Casino, and how there had
been nothing left to them but the
bare benches on the boardwalk. "The
city," he continued, has no business
running a theatre. | believe it is In
lawful"
The commissioners were evidently
impressed by the mayors arguments.
1t was agreed that hereafter there
will be no matinees in the Casino and
the afternoon band concerts will all
be held there, thus relieving the Ar
cade of it's b~arricades. To perma-
nently provide for the public the fish
ing pier will be widened probably
twenty-five feet on each side for half
it's dength and a band shell will be
erected, with seats surrounding it.

The maximum temperatures on the

the Sd. On the 9Th a change to cool

steadily below the normal particular
ly on the 7th, when the minimum

DID NOT HIRE
JET, He SAYS
Former Judge Hargis on Trial for
His Life takes Stand in
His Own Defense.

BEATTYVILLE, Ky, July Is. =
Former Judge James Hargis, charged
with the murder of Attorney James b.
Marcum, was the principal witness in
the case of the state versus Hargis and
Callahan.
Hargis, who vas the first witness for
the defense, told the story of his life
in Breathitt county and how he had
risen from a poor boy to a man of
whereabouts when Marcum was shot.
He saw Tom White coming out of the
door of the courthouse just before the
shots were fired.
Witness said he had no intimation
that Marcum was to be killed and suid
he had never spoken to Curtis Jett Or
any other man with reference to the
killing of Marcum or any other person.
He said Moses Feltner never received
any money from him not to testify
against him. lie said Feltner wanted
him to prepare affidavits for Sam
Fields and Russell Sutton, but that he
declined to do SO.
Hargis said the statement Of Asbury
Spicer was absolutely false. In fact,
witness said, no conversation ever oc-
Cured between him and others with
reference to Marcum.
Hargis referred to commonwealth
witnesses as f1oaters and men who
lurked around town, and 1t was neces-
sary for the court to admonlsh Hargis
on several occasions and instruct he
jury not to consider such testimony.
Hargis reflected several times on the
character of Attorney Adams, and
Judge Dorsey sent the jury from the
room while Adams took the defendant
sharply to task. Attorney Young, for
the defense, objected to this, hut the
court ruled that Hargis had made a
serious reflection against the common
wealth's attorney and the court be-
lieved Adams should be permitted to
defend himself.
Hargis was questioned by Attorney
Byrd on cross examination. He said
he had no Ill feeling against Marcum
as u result of the contested election
cases, but he said they never spoke
after the indictment for criminal libel
was returned against Marcum. He did
not secure an indictment against Felt
ner because he did not feel that Feltner
could SANDER any one.

Marvellous Resources
Of Alaska Territory
BY Ex-Governor JOHN c. BRADY of Alaska

IL that Alaska needs today is people and better interior trans
portation facilities. 1t is a country of most MAGNlFI-
- CENT RESOURCES, not only with respect to its minerals,
but in agriculture, numbering and the fisheries. There is a
splendid opportunity there for active, ambitious men who are not
afraid to work-farmers, mechanics, fishermen. Of course, the more
nothing more than his transportation there HE CAN'T STARVE
if he is willing to work.
The sea will furnish him with sufficient food, and there will always
be plenty of frewood to keep him warm.
The American public would be astonished to know what interior
Alaska has to offer in the way of climate, scenery and fertility of soil.
1 am inclined to think that its greatest asset in the future will be, not
its minerals or its fisheries, BUT IT'S GRASS CROP, strange as
that statement may seem to fasteners.
We are today raising great crops of clover and other grasses in our
valleys, and the cultivation of wheat, oats, barley, fax and potatoes is
carried IN extensively. Small fruits are plentiful everywhere, and
most persons will be surprised to know that from my garden in Stka

THE MAN
OF WORDS
By RUDYARD KIPLINc ,

- HERE is an ancient legend which tensus that when the first
man achieved the first noble deed he,wished to explain to
his tribe what he had done, but as soon as he began to speak
he was smitten with dumbness, he lacked words, and sat
down Then arose-accordng to the story-a "maser-
less" man who had taken no part in action, nospecal virtues and was
"ahicted"-thati is the phrase-with the magioof the necessary words.
He spoke, he explained the action to the tribe in such a fashion that we
n assured that the words became alive and WALKED UP AND
DOWN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL HIS HEARERS"
Ihereupon the tribe, seeing that the words were alive, and fearing
that the m with the words might be telling untrue words to their
children. arose and killed him. But later they saw that the magic was
in the words and not in the man. We have progressed in many drec-
tons since the time of this early and destructive criticism, but 50 far we
do not seem to have found a sufficient substitute for the man with the
necessary words as the final record to which all achievement must look.
Even today those who have done a thing must wait until all has been
said BY THE MASTERLESS MAN WITH THE Words
It is certain that the overwhelming bulk of these words will perish
in the future as they have perishedin the past. 1t is certain, too, that
some few of these words will live, and by those words only will our
children be able to Judge of the phases of our generations. Now we de-
sire beyond all things to stand well with our children. But when our
story comes to be told we do not know WHO will tell it. There are
many teners, and they are all talking together.
If ANYTHING short of undisputed and distilled truth be handed down
how shall our achievements profit us? The record of our tribe is just
its enduring literature. The magic of literature lies IN THE
WORDS and not in any man. Witness, a thousandexce[ent strenu-
Gus words can leave us quite cold or put us Ito sleep while a bare half
hundred words breathed by some man in hisagonyori in his exultaton
or in his idleness GENERATIONS AGO can still lead whole ma
tions into captivity, can still open TO us theldoors of three worlds, can
still stir us SO intolerably that we can scarcely bear the look of our
souls. 1t is a miracle and one that happensvery seldom, but each mas
terless man with the words s hoping, or hasthad hopes, that the miracle
may be repeated again through him.

And why not2 If a tinker in B~edfordsjail, if alpamphleteer shop
keeping in London, # a condemned French thief or'an English admiral
can be the medium for making necessary words, why not ANY MAN
AT N TIME? And our work, which is only concerned in the
perpetuation of the record, sanctions that hope, as kindly and just as
cruelty as nature sanctions love. 1t suggests that the man with the
words shall wait upon the man of achievement and step by step with
him try to tell to the tribe. All it demandsis that the magic of every
word shall be TRIED OUT TO THE UTMOST BY EVERY
MEANS, fair and foul, that the mind of man can suggest.
There is no room for pity, mercy or respect, for fear, or even for
legality. between man and his fellow man when the record of the tribe
comes to be written. That record must satisfy the keenest and deepest
SELF KNOWLEDGE of the present and satisfy also the shameless
curiosity of the future.
