The Alaska citizen., 1914-10-19

Secret charges against the char acter of R. F. Roth are reported to have been made to the United States senate to prevent that body from confirming the appointment of MT. Roth as United States district at torney at Fairbanks, and these have so aroused the indignation of MT. Roth and his friends in Fairbanks that if they are proved to have been made as represented, the matter is almost certain to reach the courts, both in civil and criminal actions
 The first intimation received in Fairbanks that there had been filed any kind of protest against MT Roth came to The Citizen week ago in a telegram from Washington, stating that the judiciary committee lDf the senate had been requested to delay confirming MT. Roth's appoint ment, which had been made by the President. until certain protests" had time to reach Washington. These certain protests" were expected to reach Washington by October 20.
 Inasmuch as no intimation had been made to the public In Fairbanks or to MT. Roth that a protest against him was being made, the news pub lished in The Citizen created con siderable comment. It was known, however, that a petition asking for the retention of District Attorney Crossley was being circulated and had been sent to Washington, but those who signed it declared that MT. Roth's name was not in it. On last Wednesday MT. Roth re- ceived a telegram from Governor Strong, in which the latter said he had received telegram from the at torney general of the United States, saying that protests had been filed in Washington against the confirma- tion of Mir Roth on the grounds that he was a former saloon keeper and a supporter of vice and crime. Previous to this, however, acting upon the information given by The Citizen. the local members of the Bar association sent telegram to Washington recommending the con- firmation of Mir Roth, and announc- ing that there had been no known protest filed against him.
 | At the meeting of the Panama Valley Democratic club last Tuesday evening a resolution was passed fav- bring the confirmation of MT Roth as district attorney, and the secre- tary of the club was authorized to telegraph the resolution to Washing ton.
 Thus it seems that the telegram received by the governor from the attorney general was prompted by the endorsements sent in behalf of MT. Roth.
 AS u was Hol poSsioic to opldlh II ioiii Washington the names of those who made the charges against MT. Roth's character, or to learn the specific details of the charges, MT. Roth was unable to protect himself. However. Representative citizens of Fairbanks promptly wired to the governor q denial that MT. Roth's reputation is in any way questionable.
 The question of who could be working in the dark to defame the man who had been named by Presi- dent Wilson for district attorney. was one that interested MT. Roth and

Serpent in Old Legends.

The serpent was among the gods of the Land of Egypt, where Moses led his people, and they found it among the gods of the land they were to subdue. Cadmus, the Phoenician who invented letters, became a serpent. Lovers of Wagner will not fail to re- call that Alberich transformed himself into a "wurm" to guard the stolen Rheipgold. But the trail of the ser pent may also be traced through the legends of Greece, or for that matter through those of the earlier American peoples.
