Too much ado s being made n some sections Of tne United States over tho personne or politics Of those
 who occupy ministerial offices. Those who are not in potlcs-those who hold no ofice and want none, end look mon parties as means to end-do not care who hold positions In which measures or governmental pol ices are not formulated long as the public Is being well served That Is why the tendency has been to- ward nonpartisan civil service in Federal State and
 municipal service This tendency has not been iosteFed by politicians It has been forced upon them by those who arc not in politics.
 The disposition Of the people In this matter Is disclosed by the ract that all Of the biz cities of the Pacific Coas-seattle Tacoma Spokane. Portland San Francisco Oakland and others-haye laws that compel candidates for municipal office to run independent Of the National political party organizations In nearly a ol the smaller towns everywhere-including all of them in Alaska-we have nonpartisan administrations by common consent of the people.
 Pstronage-the spells systeu-is one Of the worst stumbling blocks we have in the road Of progress With spons out Of tho way there would be nothing for the voter to determine but issues. Many an adminiatTa
 ton In State and County and City that has been making progress has been destroyed because of conflicting am b.ions of those who had active in politics only be- cause they desired place the public payroll
 Political parties that deserve life are organizations that work for principles. Tanmany and other politi cal organizations whose main purpose Is to control the division oi the public funds. have proper place In our country. So with political organizations that work for class of the people against the interest of the common good There is little difference between those who work for political party In hope of reward-and who desert t or seek tear It down if the reward is not forthcoming-and those who support party to se cure legislation that amounts public bounty for them selves They are special privilege seekers and belong to the same class.

MARSHALL CHARGES HE HAS Been
BOUNDED BY i. S. OFFICIALS
AND ASKS FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Portland, Me, Jan. 11-Lewis John
son Marshall Of Lisbon Falls, who
gained considerable notoriety through
out the country when he wrote let
ter to the New Hampshire authorities
demanding the release of Harry K.
Thaw. this morning applied to Judge
Hale in the United States district court
for a writ of mandamus against the
post master at Lisbon Falls, to com
pei the latter to deliver mail that has
been withheld from him and returned
to the senders claiming that he has
been bounded for fifteen years by the
United States government officials.
1t was Marshall who created some
excitement in Portland on March,
1912, when he distributed hand bills
during Theodore Rooseyelt's visit here,
claiming that he had been robbed ut
his business several times and put IN
an insane asylum on several occa sions.
all Of which he laid at the door of Mr..
Roosevelt.
He distributed these handbiils in
the lobby Of the hotel where the Pres
ident was staying and was arrested
by the Portland police who held him
until the departure Of the Lisbon train.
Marshall was his own counsel this
morning. Judge Hale, after hearing
him, advised that he secure counsel
and the court would appoint time
for hearing as to whether or not the
matter came within the jurisdiction OF
the court.
Assistant District Attorney Arthur
W Chapman agreed to this ruling and
the matter will be argued later.
Postmaster George R. Foster Of
Lisbon Falls has been acting under
orders from the postmaster general,
who issued a broad order under the
statute which gives him such author
ity, when the evidence is satisfactory
to him that any person is engaged
In the use Of the mails to defraud the
public.
Marshall claimed in court this
morning that for Is years the govern
ment officers had been trying to fas-
ten upon him tie charge Of using the
mails to defraud: and that although
they had seized his mail a number OF
times. he lad never been brought to
trial and therefore had never had a
chance tn defend himEelf.
