The Dispatch says 1t will abide by the decision of the wet or dry election only in the event that ma ority of those voting at the election are permitted to prevail It follows this with the statement that the people should rule and that ,hey should rule by ma iorities as ascertained by secret ballot.
 In the first place the Dispatch is probably not so much of an anarchist as pretends be- It will prob ably abide by the that the statute books and not attempt to be law unto itself But that is not the real point that we have in mind. It is the fact that The Empire has been urging shat the people of Alaska to take such action would give them control oyer license and other similar matters with such ve- hemence that Delegate wickersham has accused it of being menace to Alaska" The Empire too. believes that matters of governmental policy in Alaska should be decided by the people the ballot box and that majority voting should rule That is why it has sought with all its might to get the limitations out of the AL aska organic act so that we might have Ca ia Terri torial form of government
 In its efforts along this line The Empire mas been opposed by Delegate wickersham. and part of the time by the Dispatch. The Dispatch has been on all sides of that question H has been most questions

MT. Land, who arrived here last Monday, comes highly re- commended both as banker and a gentlemen. We welcome both he and MT. Kerr, to Nogales.
 The Fit. Sumner Review in a recent issue says:
 w. H. Land took charge of the First National Bank of Fort Sumner in October, 1912, and has put the town on the map as banking town. When he iden- tified himself with the bank it's deposits were Sl6.OO; now they are $13O,OOO During that time the bank has made SIG, 800 on a capital stock of S25, ,OOO. This during a period of SO called fin ancial depression in which & number of bank failures have occurred in different parts of the state. With the aid of friends the bank has carried each year from S1OO,OO to S2OO, eco in con- mercial paper, outside the re- gular regular resources of the bank.
 "Mr. Land has been a friend in need to the farme1eand stock raiser and has helped a number of sRall stockmen out of tight places and enabled them to get started off right financially. Dur ing the past year he has shipped in and sold 5000 cows, mostly to the small Stockmen.
 MT. Land as a citizen of Fort Sumner and this part of the Pecos valley, will be greatly missed by many. He has been a leader in every movement for the betterment of the town, and has responded literally in in stances where financial aid was required. No one man could leave the town whose departure would be more sincerely regrett- ed.
 Fort Summers loss is No gales gain and MT. Land will undoubtedly find himself vel comed to the border city with that whole souled hospitality for which the place is famous"

Rev. Mobley Of the Methodist church officiated, in- terment being in the Masonic cemetery, beneath beautiful flowers, gifts from friends and acquaintanceS, of a truly good woman.
 To the bereaved husband, aged father, sister and brothers, we extend our sympathy.

RESOLUTION OF COINCIDENCE

The Women'S Home Mission ary Society at it's meeting pass ed the following resolution of coincidence at the death of Mrs. Nellie B. Kelsey:
 The said intelligence of the community's loss in the death of Mrs. Nellie Kelsey cast more than the pail of gloom over her wide circle of friends which a death usually occasions.
 Her useful life touched com munity's interest and many and varied avenues of helpfulness. She contributed SC much of good to many that the entire commun- ity is the loser that no more she lives and works. Should we say No more she lives?"
 She being dead, yet speaketh and the power of fond memory of her work and blessed in- fuence lives on. God bless us all who suffer in this loss. Especially her hus- band, sister and brothers and aged father to whom all friends extend warmest sympathy. While suffering with you, we cannot refrain from feeling of 1 joy in her triumph of Christian | faith.
 The eyes that shortly looked upon fields of earth have looked into the face of Christ who is | her Savior.
 Over her resting place we ] breathe the prayer: Soft earth above, rest light, rest light Warm Southern Sun shine bright, shine | bright.
 | Good night. dear heart, good night.
