HOUGH there Is much truth IN
the old saying that one-half
of the world Is not aware OF

a rule with many exceptions
For there are here in Washington ON
GERS of the law. known as deputy mar
shals. whose duties carry them into
the homes and lives Of people ranging,
in worldly possessions, from the very
wealthy to the poor and destitute.
The reception received by these mar
shals is often disagreeable in both the
homes of the rich and poor, for. armed
with a subpoena or writ of some va
riety, their visit is not always q welcome
one. In fact. their lives are often en-
dangered and in many cases a deputy
must fight; for, should he turn and run
without having served his writ, his duties
as deputy marshal would soon cease.
In serving a writ that must pass d.
rectly into the hands Of the person for
whom it is intended the deputy marshal

stance of q personally served writ that

That he would oppose the election OF
Senators Martin and Swanson. Gov
ernor Mann and Congressman Flood
as delegates at large to the Baltimore
convention unless they declared
themselves for Woodrow Wilson for
Frs sident, was the fiat declaration OF
Speaker r. E. Byrd in an address be-
fore the Petersburg Woodrow Wilson
Club here.
Mr.. Byrd called no names, but de-
clared that for sixteen years he had
fought the enemies of the State or
ganixation and now he would write
a little declaration of independence
Of his own.
II am an organization man., he
said, and have always fought its
battles, but the politicians. however
wise or patriotic, know no more about
what the people want than the peo-
pie themselves. ana II Virginia want
Wilson delegation am going to
oppose any man who would go to
Baltimore uncommitted.
Mr.. Byrd. who is the manager or
Wilson's campaign in Virginia. ex-
pressed the conviction that the State
Of Virginia Is for Wilson. The great
mass Of the people are for him. he
said. 1t would he remarkable were
1t otherwise. When the great States
of Pennsylvan MIA and Oregon. of Iowa
and New Jersey and Maine are call
ing for Virginian for President, why
should Virginia hesitate
Mr.. Byrd began by declaring that
he had no word to say against any OF
|, the other candidates ror the Demo-
cratic nomination. but would try to
show that Wilson is a nationwide
demand and the only one who could
capture the great independent vote
which will hold the balance Of power
in the coming election.
He spoke quietly, in an almost con-
versational tone. speaking with de-
liberation and in a calmly reasoning
tone. going from premises TO conciu-
sion in a most logical manner "a
manner that fully convinced tho
greater part Of his remarks
That the nation faces a change.

Everett SnYnge.

The sudden and sad death of Ever
EFT Savage by drowning while driving
on the Kennebec, May 10, and the long
watching and waiting for the body,
lasting "a days, has cast a pail of
sorrow and sadness over the conf
munity here. Mr.. Savage was born
in Bingham, August 9th, 1888, the son
of John and Nettie Savage, and even
as a boy gave promise of developing
broad noble character, always d
fayorite with his playmates, kind and
obliging to his seniors, while his faith
er's own statement goes that Everett
never gave him cross or saucy word
in his life, and as he grew toward
manhood, he began to mingle and la
Dor with those older he still main
tanned those same quiet, firm, honest
traits of courteous dignity that is
honored and respected and soon
placed him though young in the front
ranks of their esteem and respect.
He was one whose word was as
good as his bond, generous whenever
a worthy subject was presented to
his view, always willing to help ease
poverty and suffering, having early
learned that a wise man buildeth on
solid foundation, he had always
worked toward that end.
About four years ago he married
the girl of his choice, Miss Eva Miller
of this place. They lived in various
places in town until about two years
ago when Everett bought farm OH
the River road in Bingham and estab
lished his own fireside alter. In the
meantime God had seen fit to send
them little son which they christen-
ed Kenneth, dearly loved by both
mother and father bringing their
hearts nearer to their heavenly home
in his innocence and purity. Mr.. Saw
age still worked in the woods winters,
and on the river driving in the spring
and early summers, and he was con-
sidered one of the best men in the
woods or on the drives and always
commanded good pay. Temperate in
his habits, honest in his dealings and
faithful in the discharge of his du-
ties, he had the full confidence of his
employees. Special thanks to the
friends and drivers for all favors
rendered in our time of sorrow, es
pecially Melzer Games for his kind
forethought in softening the pain in
managing and conveying to the faith
er the intelligence of finding the body,
and we trust he will receive his just
reward according to good promise
Mr.. Savage leaves as immediate rel
atiyes to mourn his loss, a kind devo-
ted wife, two children, the youngest
a daughter, but three days old at the
time of his death, father, step-moth-
er, sister and one brother, and while
| know your hearts are sore, and
heads are bowed with sorrow, | would
remind you of the words of comfort
spoken by her, who is of Gods
chosen to guide you up heaven's broad
stairs to meet with those that have
gone on before living and caring for
each other here, softening your hearts
with Christian love and kindness,
bearing your earthly crosses with pa
thence and fortitude, ever remember
ing Gods ways are not always our
ways, but He doeth all things well;
so be ye always ready for your call,
which will be at the appointed time
for you and for me.
