The Revenue Cutter Service.
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

If there be trouble to seward, your
American looks to the revenue cutter
service for first aid. Founded in the very
infancy of the republic as marine con-
stabulary to suppress smuggling, the
service has expanded in the scope of its
duties and activities until it's very title
is misnomer that often minimizes the
public recognition the service go richly
deserves. Older than the navy, enjoying
none of the adventurous aid of military
glamour the revenue cutter service keeps
on its way, unsung but not unhonored,
doing it's own work and more, true to its
ancient motto "Semper paratus'-always
ready.
A ship in distress at seattle revenue
cutter service to the rescue. In one year
no less than 26O vessels in distress were
succored by revenue cutters. More than
2.0OO persons aboard these ships were as
sisted, nearly ECO were actually taken
aboard the cutters to be cared for and
1O6 were saved from actual drowning
taken out of the water. That in itself is
not bad years work. 1t means that for
every dollar expended on the revenue
cutter service in that year $4.36 was
saved in property rescued from the perils
of the seas-not taking into account the
lives saved and suffering eased or the
vast amount of other work done.

ter cutters are assigned to patrol all the
Atlantic coast to warn shipping Of Ice
and derelicts and to assist vessels In
trouble in those stormy months One
cutter makes a particular business or
destroying derelicts and other menaces to
navigation, and all the cutters do this
kind of work when necessary. How
many disasters have been prevented no
one can tell, but in one year forty-five
derelicts were destroyed and nearly 500
coo worth Of property was recovered from
them and restored to the owners.
Revenue cutters not only guard the
fishing and sealing grounds of Alaska,
keeping off foreign poachers and enforc-
ing treaty rights, but to the people in re-
mote parts of Alaska they represent all
there is of government. They bring the
mail, they furnish supplies in emergen-
cies, they afford protection from enemies
and keep open communication with the
outside world. Once a year q revenue
cutter departs from Sitka with a fully
equipped court on board-a Judge, clerk
government attorney and other lawyers.
1t cruises in the Alaskan inlets and
among the islands, and the floating court
administers justice. Mixed juries of set
tiers and the cutter crew assist the
judge. and in this way the immunities
projections and responsibilities of the
Constitution and the laws are made avail
able to even the most remote Alaskan
island.

Nor is the service wholly of the salt

lakes that lie between ourselves and
Canada. and there keep motor boats from

ing the customs. Revenue, cutters sal
up the Mississippi and in times of great
foods cooperate with the army and the
local authorities in flood relief work.
This service now costs Uncle Sam about
two and a half million dollars a year
including repairs and all expenses. Nc
doubt every American will agree that il
is worth the money. The revenue cutter
service is not SO bound with red tape
nor SO dressed UP with gold lace that i,
cannot do any job that comes along al

proved in every war we have had, it can
help out the navy with it's guns. Such is

An Important Matter

A matter was taken up before
the board of county commission
ers on Monday of this week which
is of vital Importance to the cltl-
zens of the county and especially
to Punta Gorda and Charlotte
Harbor and the contiguous terri
tory. We refer to the petitions
for the building of suitable piers
or approaches for the landing of
boats at the two places, which pc
titions were presented to the
Board by Attorney Chadman. The
one from Charlotte Harbor was
signed by forty-fcur persons,
practically all of the citizens and
residents of that town, while the
one from Punta Gorda bore the
signatures of lightweight men,
and embraced almost all the city
officials, the business men and
property owners of Punta Gorda.
The board took no action in the
matter, except to suggest that it
would be referred to its solicitor,
and likely q hearing will meet
with some delay.
AS we understand it, the improve
ment on the Charlotte Harbor side
is in the nature of an extern
sion of the Murdoch and Ar
cadia roads into the navigable
water of the bay so that boats can
land passengers and freight, and q
structure in the nature Of a bridge
or pier is needed. The commits
