of the alleged postscript could not
be had. Its only significance Is the
light 1t throws on the bitterness and
venom of some of those who take ac-
tive part In every discussion of Alas
kan issues. The intensity of their de-
sire to besmirch all who invest in that
district, and all who are officially con-
nected with it's administration, ope-
rate upon the minds of ws9k or de-
prave6 human instruments and
prompts the fabrication of such false
testimony as this postscript. ! dis
like to dwell upon this feature OF the
case, but it is so full of lesson that
ought to be taken to the heart of ev-
cry patriotic citizen that can not
pass it over in silence.
Opposed to Undue Privileges.
81 am in full sympathy with the
concern of reasonable and patriotic
men that the valuable resources of
Alaska should not be turned over to
be exploited for the profit of greedy
absorbing, monopolistic corporations
or syndicates. Whatever the attempts
which have been made, no one, as
matter of fact, has secured in Alaska
any undue privilege or franchise not
completely under the control of Con-
gress, and In all the scandal with
which the public has been regaled
very few specific instances of corrupt
or improper attempts to acquire vest
ed interests in Alaska have been
fshown by evidence that would stand
the test of judicial examination. Not.
withstahding this, however, am in
full agreement with the view that ev-
cry care, both in administration and
in legislation. must be observed to pre-
vent the corrupt or unfair acquisition
of undue privilege, franchise, or right
from the Government in that district.
But every one must know that the
resources of Alaska can never become
available either to the people o.
Alaska or to the public of the United
States unless reasonable opportunity
is granted to those who would invest
their money to secure return pro
portionate to the risk in the invest
ment and reasonable under all the
circumstances.
"On the other hand, the acrimonv
of spirit and the intense malice that
have been engendered in respect of the
administration of the government in
Alaska and in the consideration of
measures proposed for her relief and

Bilbo in his speech at Blue Noun
tain, made an attack upon me that de.
manded resentment; without it,
would have been unworthy the respect
or confidence of my family and
friends.
He denounced me as, "a cross be-
tween hyena and a mongrel, begot-
ten in niger graveyard at mid
night, suckled by a SOW, and educated
by fool"
He does not deny but admits that
he used the language. He only un-
dertakes in his statement to argue
that it was not insulting" 1t might
not have been insulting to him, but it
was insulting to me. would not have
used such language about him or any
other living human being.
My parents are both dead and in
heaven. Their memory is sacred to
me. My father was Confederate SOL
der who died upon the field of bat
tie; only private, but no better or
braver man ever lived. His loving
comrades at dead of night laid him
away in his tattered, gray uniform,
and he sleeps today in an unknown,
unmarked grave, far from home in a
distant state.

mains are believed to rest, but we do
not even have the melancholy satisfac-
tion of knowing with certainty that
his dust lies there. "A cross between
a mongrel and a hyena!" Was that
father who died hero's death upon
the battlefield a "mongrel" or q
"hyena?" My mother was q sweet
gentle woman who walked and talked
with God. Was she "monerel" or a
"hyena?" My mother, as every mother
must do, went down i1So the shadow

To any man who poses as an apollo

would you permit any living human

tween mongrel and a hyena, begot
ten in a niger graveyard at mid
night, suckled by a SOW and educated

my soldier father would have spurned
me in the day Of judgment and my
mother shed bitter tears of grief and
shame at the infamy of her son.
This is a correct statement Of the
facts.
It was not politics, 1t was purely a
personal matter; Bilbo simply sait
things about me that no honorable
man could take. I resented 1t and die
so in moderation by sparing his un
worthy life.
I would have preferred that these
facts go to the public through the

SYSTEM A GOOD ONE
But Commission Plan Has
Its Defects.

In the opinion of Mayor thinner
man, the commission form of govern
ment for municipalities Is good, but
he does not favor the referendum OF
the recall. He believes that three or
i've men can govern city better than
the number required under the pres
ent system.
But l wouldn't accept the office OF
mayor under tbs commission form,
Tor the salary which l get now" the
mayor declared. ut would take at
least $4,000 per annum to get me to
lake the position. because there
would be too much work. Another
hing, this recall business don't look
good to me. II 70 per cent Of the peo'
ole want you out of office. all they
have to do Is to call special election
and recall you. Now, probably in the
hrst place, rs per cent OF the people
won't vote for you, and il they want
you out OF office, even II the IS per
cent do want you in, the minority can
throw you out. Outside OF that the
commission form of municipal gov
eminent Is just the thing"

National News Association
ONTONAGON, Mich, Oct. 24.-Sur-
rounded by her children, Mrs. Laura
Stannard, on trial for the murder OF
her husband, seemed more buoyant in
spirit as the testimony was resumed.
There have been some contradictions
in the testimony of the witnesses for
the prosecution and in these the for
mer society leader saw much hope.
Mrs. Stannard declared she never
told anyone of her husbands cruelty
toward her.
LAS God is my judge, I never told
Charlie STANDARDS people that he ever
laid hand on me-" she said.
my mother, who died six weeks be-
fore Charles death, never knew of
my husbands violence, although she
was sick in my house three months
before she passed away. My father
then came to live with us and he saw
for himself, but did not know it by my
telling.
THE only thing ever cautioned Dol
ly Hammes about, was not to tell any
body about our family affairs"

termining whether or not rates propos-
ed, will provide such just return, the
city has a right to receive, and should
insist on first receiving properly as
certa;ned and determined valuation,
same provided as a result of the use
of every means of information, review
and investigation. The test is in value
of the stock of the company, is in a
valuation calculated on present rate.
but is valuation fixed by combining
a duplicate of present system with
proper allowances for depreciations,
wastes, losses, incapacities, and add
thereto the proper going concern
value" all of which are capable of pro-
per ascertainment.
Here it is that the city will have
right to examine into books and af-
fairs of the company, present or sue
cessor, without any question. But in so
doing, it must be borne in mind that
the costs as shown in such examina-
tons, are not final or conclusive on
city, as establishing valuation at pres
ent, by being cost less depreciation.
AS for instance, certain machine in
stalled twenty years ago may now be
as good as new, less slight wear and
tear, and yet at this time set in place
by reason of, let us say, a patent pro-
tecting it's manufacture and sale, was
entirely out of proportion to the cost
F.: of the present duplication of a machine
of equal capacity.
And converse illustrations are equal
| ly patent. The present valuation being
obtained by competent engineering ad-
visers and accountants which should
be had by the city irrespective of who
owns the property same is not alone
foundation rates. but providing rates
as will provide fixed rate on such val
uation, for it must be borne in mind
that the present system is signally de
ficient in providing adequate FIRE pro
lection, and that great and additional
expenses must be at once undertaken
by lack of the system to provide such
protection, in way of additional equip
ment and additional pipe or suppl,
mains These additions do not, ant
probably will not for years bring any
additional revenue to the owner of the
system, but upon additional necessary
investments, owner is entitled to fail
return same as upon present valua
ton.
Answer to Question Six: In answe
to this question, it was advised tina
city need not, unless it so desired, &C
cent the one or the other of the pres
ent bids, but that the city might re
ject same and readvertise for bids
either upon terms of the original ad
vertisement or additions and particu
lar requirements as the board and cit
might see fit.
