 LIQUOR LICENSE QUESTION

there asked whether or not they consented, and the fact of their consent or non-consent was noted in the enumerator's book. As the book showed that a majority as required by law had consented, H. ceases were issued.
 The claim, however, has been made to the court by many per sons in communications, both oral and written, that the method pur- sued last year does not afford a true test, because, as was alleged, many persons were induced by busi- ness and other considerations to say that they were in favor of the sale of liquor, when, in truth and in fact, they were opposed to such sale The representation has been made also that many persons have said, according to the book, that they were opposed to the sale of liquor when, in truth and in fact, they were not so opposed, but had been induced by social, family and other considerations to say that they were opposed.
 Strong statements have been made that if some way could be adopted by which citizen would have an opportunity to express his real preference in the matter wi:h- out 1t being a matter of publicity, none who were really for dry would be counted as for wet" and none who were really for "wet" would be counted as for dry; and the court has been asked to adopt some method by which those who desired could give expression to their real wishes without pub licity. The court thinks such re- quest is reasonable and proper, es- Decially in view of the provision of Ike statute that the consent must be IN GOOD FAITH, for no one could question the good faith of a secret expression of desire.

CENSUS

But low is the court to ascertain what Is the real wish, that is, the GOOD FAITH wish, of a majority oi the qualified persons? e--
 The court cannot know what is 8 majority of tho whole number of persons unless it knows what is he whole number under considera- tion, and in order to ascertain what is the whole number of quail lied persons enumerators have teen appointed to take census of all such persons.
 For that purpose the enumerators shall provide themselves with a beck, or books, properly lndexed, ln which shall be entered (alpha- betically) the information desired. This census will be completed at the earliest possible moment, and when completed, the census book Is to be deposited with the U. S. commissioner at Skagway and shall De open for public inspection, and any one who desires may take 9 copy.
 The census enumerators are not to ask whether a citizen is or Is not in favor of liquor being sold they are only to take the name' residence and occupation of every person found to be qualified.
 The persons who intend to ap- ply for a license must bear the eX- pense of taking this census, and

Ketchikan, May 6, 1915. U. s. Commissioner, skagway, Alaska.

I My Dear SIT:
 Just before leaving Juneau l wrote you my idea about getting secret expression of the peoples wishes as to their consent or non consent to the sale Of liquor, and 1 was in quite a hurry and did not 20 into detail as much as l should have done. l enclose herewith copy of remarks made by me to the liquor men of Ketchikan-I tried to make the matter as plain as pos sible.
 1 What I have said in this paper l applies to Petersburg, Wrangell, 1 Skagway and Haines, and therefore may be taken as instructions Please zee that the widest publicity is giy- en this matter. Let everybody un- derstand that the census book is not final, but that any person who claims to be a white male or fe- male perscn over the age of 2l years, residing at Skagway or with sn two miles thereof, Is entitled to vote whether his tor her) name Is In the book or not, provided ne tor she) Is a citizen of the United States; and let it be understood, too, that anybody may challenge person as not possessing those qualification even though his Cor her) name may be in the book. On page 8 of these instructions you will see what is to be done with the votes of such persons as are challenged, or whose names are not ia the book.
 The votes of those persons only whose names are in the book who are unchallenged are to go into the ballot box. Also let it be i'm pressed on as many people as pos cible that they should come up and vote so that the result may, if pos sible, be a final test.
 In order to give the fullest pub licity to this affair perhaps you had better have the enclosed paper publiehad In tAs- newspaper.
 Yours etc,
 ] ROBERT W. JENNINGS, i. Judge. | The tune Is approaching when H. Ecenses for the sale Uf intoxicating liquors for the year beginning July l, 1915, and ending July l, l9l6' will either be granted or refused.
 The law provides that no license Io- the sale of intoxicating liquor g. all be granted unless it IS made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that Q majority of the white rlale and tonals (fulD citizens' over the age of 21 years, residing at the placs where liquor is to be sold or within two miles thereof. have, In good faith, consented to such Rais.

The law also provides that the burden is upon the applicant for a license to show to the satisfaction of the court that. majority of said peo- pie have consAnted. This means nothing less than that the persons desiring license must, at their own expense, show to the court the neceS, saTy facts.

WILL RESTORE AUSTIN
TO HIS FORMER POST
Ensign, Dismissed From Navy for
Marrying, to Be Re-instaled.

Washington, March 20.-Secretary
Daniels was ready to day to take up
with President Wilson the case of
Joseph Elliot Austin Of New York, a
young ensign wo was dismissed from
the navy In 1910, because he married
without departmental permission.
An ironclad rule in the navy at
that time provided that no ensign
sh Guild contract marriage without the
departments permission, the purpose
being to make sure that the young
officer could maintain family. which
the salary of an ensign, unless sup
plemented from outside sources.
scarcely guarantees This order has
since been revoked, but Austin could
not be reinstated except by act Of
congress and the presidents affirma-
tive action.
Secretary Daniels looked into the
case and found that when Austin mar
rjed, which was at Honolulu, he in
vited the captain and all the officers
OF the vessel to his wedding, which
seemed to support his contention that
he did not know that he was violating
any departmental regulations. The
secretary who is a champion on mat
rimony, endorsed the bill, which con-
gress passed, providing for Austin's
restoration to naval service, and this
will be accomplished just as soon as
President Wilson acts.
The special act looks to Austin's re-
appointment as an ensign.
