That M. 0. Office

Of special interest at this time.
since Congressman Humphrey has
Just paid us a visit, is the attack
made on him and John S. McMillin
of Roche Harbor. by the Seattle
Daily Star, in connection with the
reputed effort to make Roche Har-
boz postoffice a money order office.
1t appears that while some Of the
residents desire the money order
privilege, nearly all are satisfied
with conditions as they are. After
the matter had gained much public
ity, in justice to Messrs. Humphrey
and McMilllin. statement as to the
exact state of affairs was prepared
and signed by more than ninety per
cent. of the partons. and addressed
to Congressman Humphrey at Seat
tie.
Knowing that such a paper was
being circulated. the editor of the
Islander desired it's publication, and
in conversation with Mr.. McMillin
over the phone, he said he would
send copy. and below appears Mr..
McMillin's letter and the one ad-
dressed to Mr.. Humphrey:
Roche Harbor, Oct. Is, 1912
Ed. San Juan Islander, Dear Sir:
AS requested by you / enclose copy
of letter addressed to Hon. w. E.
Humphrey, which has been gener-
ously circulated and signed by almost
all the patrons of the Roche Harbor
postoffice. [ think more than ninety
five per cent of all the patrons OF the
Office have signed the letter. There
are few to whom the letter has not
been presented as yet, most of whom
will undoubtedly sign it at first OPP
portunity Of course this does not
include any members of my family.
The letter speaks for itself and re-
quires no comment from me. | feel
assured that if any effort had been
made to ascertain the facts, no self
respecting newspaper would have
permitted the unjust attack men
toned to have found place in it's
columns. The course of the people
here in taking such action as would
result in justice being done is highly
gratifying to me personally and be-
lieve will more than Offset any harm
which the original publication could
have done to MIR. Humphrey.
Very truly yours,
JeHN S. MCMILLIN.

LETTER TO HON. VIM. E. HUMPHREY
Roche Harbor, Sept. 30, 1912

Roche Harbor, Sept. ~, 1917
Hon. W. E. Humphrey, Seattle,
Wash, Dear Sir: Our attention
has been called to recent and Who'll
ly unjustifiable attack made upon you
and Mr.. John S. McMillin relative to
the question of Roche Harbor post
Office being made Money Order Of
fee. 1t is evident to us that this at
tack was made either ignorantly or
viciously and purely from political
motives. In either event we feel that
common fairness between man and
man, and entirely free from any po-
litical interest whatever, requires
that we as patrons of the Roche Har-
Dor postoffice, and entirely regard
less of our political affiliations, should
state the facts as they exist in order
that the unjust and nnfair aspersions
made against both you and Mr.. Nc
Millin may be corrected as far as
possible.
We are now and many of us for
many years have been patrons of the
Roche Harbor postoffice. Some of
US have been its patrons for more
than twenty years and are therefore
entirely familiar with all the local
conditions. The writer of the article
in the Star either did not know such
conditions and made no effort to as
certain the truth, or otherwise he
maliciously and wilfully misstated
them

farming and fishing community. There

the office, l shall accept their choice
without criticism, my struggles and
disappointments in life have been too
many to allow it to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. l am not a polite
Ian within the meaning Of one con-

A GREAT AWAKENING

The meeting Of the citrus fruit men
in Tampa has certainly caused a great
awakening to the importance Of the
work of exchange. and will probably
result in the permanent good We clip
the following from the Tampa Times:
We do not know positively whether
the exchange is saved until the regular
June meeting" said Sales Manager r
p. Burton, at the casino last night
after Professor Ramsey's address.
I'm order 10 be in anything like a
safe position in the trade at least 40
per cent Of the states fruit crop should
be marketed through the exchange
I'VE have been handling about 10
per cent With 80 per cent against US
we are not in position TO get the
best returns"
Many new contracts were signed
yesterday. among the largest being
that OF Braxton Beacham of Orlando,
who put in about 125.e00 boxes. but
while the exchange managers are feel
ing much better after yesterday $
meeting, they do not know whether
they will have fruit enough yet, and
cannot know for some time.
Probably a majority Of those who
were present yesterday and had not
been members of the exchange signed
the exchange agreement before going
away. 1t will be up to them TO get
busy at their homes, however. and get
their friends and neighbors in before
It can be at all certain that the good
work of the exchange is to go on.
The meeting served its purpose,
however. 1t was designed to wake up
the fruit growers OF this state to the
necessity of cooperation. It has done
that
It was designed to let them see that
it Is not cooperation to share the re-
suits and let the other fellows do all
the work necessary to get the results
1t has done this. 1t is not a bad
prophesy to say that the exchange has
taken on new life because of the meet

The Times-Union thinks Congress
should not make additional regulations
to ocean traffic because congressman
are not navigators. According to the
same principle, Congress should not
regulate the tariff because the con-
gressmen do not know how to make
steel rails. 1t requires no knowledge
of navigation to know that a passen-
ger ship should carry enough lifebeats
to take off all the people on board in

BRAVERY OF MAJOR butt

mourning the death Of Major Archibald
Butt. president Tafts aid d'camp. who
lost his life on the Titanic. Major
Butt was born and raised in Augusta.
and all In the old fashioned Georgia
city feel that in his death they have
lost personal friend.
Major Butt died like soldier and an
American gentleman. Miss Marie
Young of Washington City. one of the
survivors. tells of his last hour as fol-
lows:
The last person to whom / spoke
on board the Titanic was Archie Butt;
and his good, brave face, smiling at
me from the deck, was the last could
distinguish as the boat / was in pulled
away from the steamers side. Archie
himself put me into the boat, wrapped
blankets around me and tucked me in
as carefully as IL we were starting on
q motor ride. He himself entered the
boat with me. performing the little
courtesies as calmly and with as smi1-
ing a face as IL death were far away,
Instead of being but a few minutes
removed from him. When he had care
fully wrapped me up. he stepped upon
the gunwale OF the boat and. lifting his
hat. smiled down at me. Goodbye, Miss

No warship, 1t appears, was within
wireless hailing distance Of the IT,
tanic. and yet both the United States
and England have tens and dozens of
fast cruisers and battleships that
might, better than not, be assigned to
patrol the transatlantic lane in time
Of peace, for the purpose of rendering
aid, and even firing explosive shells
against ice bergs in the way of target
practice. War vessels, 1t seems, might
wen be used for some other purpose
than dancing, when there Is no fight
ing to be. done.-Savannah News.
1t seems to the Star that as well in
formed a paper as the Savannah News
should know better than to print such
stun. II the editor of the News will
look over his own files. he will find in
them frequent mention of succor to
ships in distress from war vessels. Only
q few months ago, one of our big bat
tleships took off the crew of sinking
steamer near the Virginia capes, and
the government frequently sends out
cruisers and gunboats to assist ships
In trouble. 1t was recorded in the
News dispatches not long ago that the
cutters Of the revenue service Ca branch
OF the navy, and always a hard-f1ght-
ing one in time of war; did magnificent
work every winter IN patrolling the
coast to aid ships that needed help. We
think 1t would be foolish waste of
ammunition to shoot shells at ice
bergs. but anyone who reads the press
dispatches will see frequent mention of
. gunboat going to sea to blow up a
derelict that threatens navigation. 1t
has long been conceded that 1T was
foolhardiness that caused steamship
companies to drive their boats full
speed along the dangerous route taken
by the Titanic, and any government
that kept ships and sailors patrolling
Ii would be extra foolish. 1t is not
our coast. and our warships do not
take that route when crossing the At
lantic; but as soon as the accident was
reported the nearest American and
Canadian cruisers started for the
scene. The men Of our navy do much
difficult and dangerous work in time of
peace, and 1t is bad taste to sneer at
them, for the nation never fails to
hudd1e behind them when there Is a
war scare.

WILSON AGAINST THE RECALL

The Star hopes that some of the ultra
conservative papers that have been
throwing fits about Wilson's radical
ism will quiet down since his speech
in Jacksonville Thursday night.
Governor Wilson spoke at the Duva1
Tneater, which was crowded to the
limit Representative men Of Jackson
vile and from all over the state were
present. and the governor was intently
listened to and warmly applauded. His
speech did not contain anything but
sound democratic doctrine In regard
to the recall he said:
'1 wish to touch upon this much
mooted question of recall of judges, a
movement that is based on the bitter
experiences Of some commemorative.
Deplorable as it is, some courts are
controlled by special interests and de-
cisions Of those courts are rendered in
favor Of those interests, under control
of some party or parties This is as
into1erable as 1t is notorious, and the
question arises, What are you goin g
to do about it,? I have not been and
am not now in favor Of recalling
judges as long as they must be replac-
ed by the same powers who were re-
sponsible for their being. However, it
is not a question merely on control,
but of how the courts are going to
square things, and who they are going
to square with. No one need say that
this agitation emanates from the dem
agogues. 1t is a natural consequence
arising from the deeper thoughts of
our people. The recall is but a method
Of dealing with the symptoms and not
the disease. We must strike deeper
and get at the root. L say to you that
the selection is at fault, and We must
improve our selection. Recall of
Judges would give judges from the
same source, and would give the same
powers the privileges of making sim
liar appointments. / do not believe in
superficial measures, and to recall our
judges would be purely a superficial
means Of treating the disease"

WE'LL KNOWN FLORIDA
MINISTER ON THE TITANIC

Rev. R. J. Bateman, a well known
Jacksonville minister. was one of the
Titanic victims. His sister-in-Iaw.
Mrs. Ada E. Balls, who was saved, tells

1880 On the night Of the sinking OF the
Titanic. going to 1ifeboat with other
women passengers. DR.. Bateman. the
only Florida man on the Inflated
steamer. insisted upon remaining on
the Titanic, and bade her farewell,
saying: LET Us trust in God and hope
TO meet hereafter"
As the boat was lowered he took his
black tie from his collar and threw 1t
toward Mrs. Balls as keepsake.
