Deputy Marshal Breaches

lu frontier countries, where people cannot always enjoy the luXuries of the more thickly settled districts, men are compelled Co follow various occu patious at tho same time. But it is seldom, indeed, that peace officer finds 1t necessary Co conduct religious services.
 Over in Ft Yukon, Deputy United States Marshal T. E WiuecoG is filling the double capacity ofpeace officer and minister, though the duties of the latter are done as a matter of accom- modauou for the people of the place who have beeu deprived of church acc commodatious. Mir. WinecoG, who was previously a minister by profession, was urged to hold services, but he re- fused Co do so until he received official consent from his superiors in Fair banks. Under the peculiar condition that exists at Port Yukon, the marshaps office here concluded that it not be i'm. proper for Mir. WinecoG to hold re- Iigious services, and the desired con- sent was granted him.
 There is an Episcopal mission at Ft. Yukon, but it is for the Indians, and the white population there complain that there are no services held for them. m.-CitiZeu.

We heye read so many stereo
typed editorials about "Flower'
for the Living" that we have al
most become disgusted with such
outbursts, but we've got a little
story Of our own to relate, aud nc
telling, the world might be better
because of some people having lived
in it. While lying Hat of our back
with fever At the Biggers hotel (for
editors will lie) thinking that the
world had forgotten US, and know
ing too well that everything was
gong dead wrong, just ready to
give up the ghost and roll across
the great river; who should turn us
back on the side of the living again,
but some smiling countenance
bounding into the room with hand
full of flowers, the fragrance of
which would almost bring cheer to
a dead man. For all his fragrance,
cheer and sunshine we want TO ex-
press our thanks to Mr.. McAdoo,
Mr.. Jackson, Mrs. Speice, Mrs.
Bigger and others. We wish, also,
to drop a hint right here: 1t Is far
better to gather your wreaths and
present them to the living, even
though they be of the humble and
lowly, than to cover a mans bier
with flowers after be has shaken of
this mortal coil aud passed into the
regions of the unknown.

Fulton County Collector Is Short
for 1912

The commissioners of account for
Fulton County, after IL days ses-
sion, returned the tax collector of
this county default 81, 700 for the
settlement made IN 1919. The
commissioners received information
during the March campaign that
made them believe something was
wrong with that settlement. They
began to investigate and allege they
found a system of petty raising on
valuations which, while small, yet
coupled with other irregularities
made the sum stated. Many IN the
county do not believe the present
callector was party to the frauds
charged.

CLOSES THE CONTROVERSY
Stripping Announces that After this
Letter he has No More to Say

I
| In a published article a few days
ago. thanking the voters for their
support, / attempted to explain my
reasons for becoming a candidate, as
| reports had been circulated through
the county which were misleading.
| In that article | undertook TO explain
I / believed the Office should be kept
open. and promised in the campaign
I ii elected to keep the Office of tax
collector open at all times, saying
that the closing OF the office April
1st, IF authorized by law, was GER
| tainly not required by law" To this
article Mr.. Colbert and Mr.. Carney
published replies. attempting 20 ex-
cuse, but not justify, such closing of
the office. No law is quoted that re-
| quires it, and the statement of Mr..
E. L. Carney that five weeks prior
to the sale, the public has the right
to stop the sale of any piece of land
| by simply paying the printers cost,
and some seasons one-half of the adj
vertised lands are not sold, taxes hav-
| ing been paid before date of SALE
| is an admission of every statement
made by me along this line. At no
time or place have 1 said five per
cent. was charged unless sale was
made.
| have never insinuated or charg-
ed Mr.. Colbert with graft or other
improper conduct. / stated during
the campaign, and here state again
that l believe Mr.. Colbert to be an
upright, honest, Christian gentle
man.
A newspaper controversy can serve
no useful purpose at this time, So
close it on my part with this article,
but repeat that the statement made
in my former article has not been
denied by Mr.. Carney or Mr. Col
bert.
Mr.. E. IL. Carney in his reply at
tempted to appear very witty. and
used great deal of sarcasm and per-
sonal abuse, which l am above doing
| for political or any other purpose,
and which is usually resorted to by
those unable to meet an argument
To refer to my supporters as few
disgruntled, and ne'er-do-wells, and
to throw my poverty into my face,
| is very unbecoming in one who has
had his hand in the public till for a
number of years. 1 admit my power
| ty, but deny that it disQualifies me
| from asking for office. I have made
a living for myself and family, and
have the consciousness of knowing
that / made it honestly.
| With this explanation regarding my
former article, and again thanking
the voters who supported me, and as
surfing those who voted for Mr.. Col
bert of my continued good will to-
| wards them, l close this controversy
on my behalf
Respectfully submitted,
