WICKERSHAM'S
 CHANGES GOOD
John Rustgard Says By-Partisan Men Wanted to Stack the
 Cards
Anchorage Timesl

Attorney John Rustgard, formerly district attorney for the first judicial division, with headquarters at Juneau representing Delegate James Wicker sham. in his contest with Charles A. Sulzer, arrived on the Farragut, and is visitor in the city.
 Thomas J. Donohoe, of Valdez, who has been taking depositions in the interests of Charles A. Sulzer, at Sel- dovia, Kodiak island and other places, and whom MT. Rustgard accompanied, remained on the Farragut and will re- turn to Valdez. MT. Rustgard may take the Mariposa or remain over un til the next boat following. When asked about the delegate contest, he said:
 "The law provides that the contest ant must file his evidence in the form of dispositions within a fixed date. Contestee has forty days thereafter in which to file with the clerk of the house of representatives his evidence in the form of depositions. Sulzer's law also requires that when a party intends to take a deposition of a wit ness he must serve a notice on the opposite party stating the time, place and officer before whom the witness is to be examined Sulzer served notice upon .Wickersham that depo- sitions of several witnesses would be taken on Kodiak island on or about July s, as soon as the Evans should arrive there. This notice was served just before the Evans left Seattle, so late that Judge Wickersham could not get aboard or even send me or anybody else mail on the subject So he just wired me to go and stay by the crowd and cross-eXamine the witnesses This did and am more than pleased with the result. No fraud was shown. It was shown that some of the voters at Afagnok and Seldovia were ill;terate, but it was also shown that they were citizens. If the law is to be Of any avail Wickersham has nothing to fear from the charge of fraud"
 MT. Rustgard stated that he took very little interest in the governorship fight being waged against the re-ap- pointment of Governor J. F. A. Strong
 When Strong was requested to pull off rotten deal," said MT. Rustgard, and stack the cards on Wickersham, he finally put his foot down. This was enough to brand him a menace to the bipartisan organization and the fight started. Where Strong made his mis. take was in not pulling off his coat, rolling up his sleeves and going af- ter the bunch as soon as he stepped in to office"

TELLURIDE AT
 WILLOW CREEK

Advices received from Willow Creek state that telluride ore of an average value of $12,760 and as high as ESQ., 900 per ton has been discovered in the Mable mine, and excitement in the camp is running high.
 The vein which was discovered dur. ing the week of July 4th, is in the hang. ing wall and one-half to three-quarters of an inch thickness.
 On account of there being no facili- ties in the district to properly treat the ore, it is being sacked and then shipped to the Tacoma smelter. The ore runs as high as $5O,O00 to the ton. and w. R. Hooking. the assayer at the Martin mines, gives an average value of $12,760 for the assays he recently made
 The history of the Marble mine is unique from the fact that the manage ment installed the mill late last sum. mer against the advice of several min. ing engineers and other operators in the district, as very little development work had been done and they did not think the indications justified the ex. penditure for a stamp mill.
 The stockholders of the Marble at their annual meeting July II elected the following officers for the ensuing year: w. E. Bartholf, president: Fred Laubner, vice president; and Tom Cav. eny, secretary and treasurer.-Seward Gateway.

AT THE scHooL-HoUSE.

What the school-house means to the
comm nifty is well expressed in an ut
terancC by President Wilson at an
educa ional gathering in Wisconsin
while he was governor of New Jer-
sey lie said:
nj is necessary that simple means
be formed by which, by an interchange
of points of view, we may get togeth-
er, 70" the whole process of modern
politics, the whole process of modern
life, is a process in which we must ex-
clude MISUNDERSTANDING exclude hos
tilitie9, bring all men into common
council and so discover what is the
comm interest. This is the problem
of me !crn life" Pointing to the oppor-
tunity which the common schoolhouse
offers TO answer this common need
the president said "They are public
buildings. They are conveniently dis
tributcl. They belong to the commu
mites. They furnish ideal places in
which 10 assemble and discuss public
affairs They are just what we need -
The president talked about the

a live community center, the rest OF
the world knows here is a progressive

individuals and Organizations are Re-
quested to Help.

Washington, Feb 16.-The War De-
partment today called upon individual
citizens, patriotic organizations and
societies to help get recruits for the
army. 1t is the first step of the kind
ever taken by the government in time
of peace, army officers say, and is re-
garded as a forcible illustration OF
the need the army feels for more men.
A circular letter sent out today
states. that those interested in pre-
paredness "can render no more effect
i've service at present than by using
their utmost influence to recruit the
regular army to the strength author
lied by law"
The navy department also has ask
ed assistance from civilians and organ
izations in recruiting work. Rear Ad-
miral Palmer, in charge of recruiting
work, said today that the Navy
League was conducting an active re-
cruiting campaign and other similar
bodies were being interested in the
work.

HELP ENLIvEN THINGS.

Some one has been busy listing
those who do not help make the town
It would be a finer occupation to list
those who do help make the town, fol
those who are positive forces are the
town. Others never become so much
But this list is worth running down
Read it,
l. Those who oppose improvements.
2. Those who knock" strangers and
who knock" the town to Strangers.
3. Those who show hospitality to
no one.
4. Those who hate to see others sue
coed.
5. Those who distrust public spirited
men.
6. Those who oppose every move
ment which does not originate with
themselves.
Z. Those who oppose every enter
prise that does not appear to benefit
themselves.
s. Those who enjoy the benefits that
come from the work of public spirited,
broad minded men, but who give moth
ing but criticism in return.
Do you belong? Why not reform?
1t is a splendid thing to be part
of a Wide-awake city. 1t is a splendid
thing TO know that your own strength
is infinitely multiplied by the strength
of Other men who love their towns as
you do. 1t is a splendid thing to feel
that the wholesome blood of a COM
munily can be united in common pur-
poses and that by frankly looking one
another in the face and taking counsel
with enc another, prejudices will drop
away, handsome undertakings will
arise, universal spirit of service will

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
CONCERNING The ARMY.

Enlistment is soon to be carried on
here in Cordele for the purpose of add
ing recruits to both army and navy.
How should we regard this? We have
taught ourselves long time that the
army and the navy is no place for the
young men. You may yet hold that
attitude.
What are you going to do for men
that are needed now to fill up the
ranks? Who'll go to sea and help
man the guns?
James Howe, the rich hobo, was in
Washington the other day urging that
peace be maintained for the reason
that, should war develop, the first suf-
ferers would be the great army Of
tramps throughout the country. In
other words, the tramps are the first
to rally to the colors.
We would not be proud of American
manhood if we thought that true. The
army in time of peace is not the place
we would choose, for the reason that
there is charm and satisfaction in the
business world far greater than could
be found in the army And that is not
saying the army now is made up of
''roughs," We are quite sure that on
a call to arms for great conflict such
as that lighting the martial fires of
Europe now, American tramps are no
more than the noise of a real army
that would be sure to respond, but raw
recruits are not fitted for battle in a
moment
The young man who goes in time of
need should be looked upon as the
country's most loyal citizen He is
more often the hero than he is the
tramp, Ours on the Mexican border
now are not tramps. Those who will
join the army from our community in
the future will not be tramps. Ours
are better men. The country will need
our. support in the enlistment com
paign, We are not a nation of shirk
ers.

MANY WILCOX FARMERS
WILL PLANT CANTALOUPES
PHONES 516-12

Rochelle, Feb 16.-Cantaloupes will
be great crop with the farmers in
the Greensboro community next season
and lpans are being made for planting
a large acreage in them. Contractor
Mashburn of Atlanta, was in Owens
boro yesterday in the interest of a
cantaloupe company, and succeeded in
contracting with several Owensboro
farmers and is urging them to plant
extensively another year.
The industry is quite new in this
county. but cantaloupes are very pro-
life in this climate and soil and those
already engaged in growing them are
delighted with the results obtained
]. X. Mitchell farmer near here, plant
ed 10 0acres in cantaloupes last year,
and reports that he realized $4,000
clear of al leXpenses from the sale of
the product from that one parcel of
land.
Peanuts and velvet beans are also
taking a prominent place in the crops
of the county as well as tobacco and
grain. and farmers are beginning to
use them for feedstuffs for cattle along
with other grain.

ONE MORE BIG CROP.

Disaster has overtaken a number of
extensive cotton growers in the wake
of the weevil because of their efforts
to make just one more crop. Some of
the experts coming here to talk with
our cotton growers say this is the dan
gerous e-more -good-crop" year with
us. All of those who know weevil con
ditions say that more cotton than can
be cultivated every week or hand pick
ed for dead squares every week for
any farmer will mean practically a to,
tai loss.
Generally speaking, we are not able
to lose our oats and large cotton
acreage all in the same year. 1t will
never be wise to plant larger acreage
in cotton from the oat land where the
oats were killed. We are taught that
disaster will overtake the greedy cot
ton man.
There is little necessity for plant
ing such a cotton acreage as will en-
danger the whole output 1t is too easy
to make up with beans. peanuts. peas
and corn. 1t is too easy to raise hogs
and cattle on the cheaper feed that
can be cotton out of the farm The fat
hogs always command the cash no mat
ter what the season and so do the cat
tie.
We are inclined to dodge grain acre
age and the fact that some of the late
planting has been killed by the cold
weather gives a good excuse not to
plant heavily again. But this will ney-
er do. Severe cold is not the worst
thing we have. 1t is rare More acres
in grain. more hogs and cattle, more
beans and peas and peanuts are need
ed.
Let go the one more big cotton crop
idea. If will bring heavy losses. and
that we cannot stand.

Newtown, on the 22nd of January.
The time first appointed for the we'd

it will be remembered was the night
Of the great snowstorIn and the roads
in every direction were SO blocked up
that there was no such thing as trav-
cling by either man, beast of loco1no-
tive engine. The consequence was
Mr.. Beach could not get to Newtown
and did not even attempt to go. Miss
Northrop of course understood what
the trouble was but nevertheless had
some queer sensations and doubtlesN
had some sleepless hours during>that
and the succeeding two or three
nights, but tAll's well that ends WELL"

Caterpillar Tractors to Sup

cles in Nearby Places.

Fairfield county truck gardeners
have decided upon the introduction of
Western methods of agriculture and
the elimination Of the horse in favor
of motor-driven farming apparatus as
far as practical.
Timothy Ryan, Of Stratford, is the
first farmer in the county to sound the
curfeW of the horse and to begin op-
erations with the caterpillar tractor.
Orders for three similar machines are
reported to have been placed in STRAIT
ford and two in Fairfield. Members
of the truck gardeners association
have approved the project.
Ryan's ground, much of which lies
in lower Main street, Stratford is said
to be ideal for the utilization Of ma
| chinery. All blowing and heavy
hauling will be done by means of the
| tractor, which is capable of blowing
four burrows, narrowing and seeding
| at the same operation. It's introduce
ton is planned to take the place of
three teams Of horses.
Expert farmers declare that compe-
! tition with the west and south has
forced the Introduction of labor and
money saving devices in the east.

DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS

IL was In the seventeenth century
that the modern theory of the divine
right of kings, which has reached it's
fulI> flower in Germany, was develop
ed out of the old conception of a ruI-
er as the representative, within his
domlnlons, of theN monarchy of God
over all things. When William T., the
first modern Emperor of Germany,
was crowned in the chapel at Konigs-
berg, he himself raised the crown
from the altar, placed it on his own
head, and declared in a loud voice:
Il receive this crown from Gods
hand and from none other" This
stark declaration Of his independence
amounting to a denial of democracy,
popular rights and constitutional gov
eminent, was reaffirmed by his
grandson, the present Kaiser, in an
address at Konigsberg in 1910.
The idea of divine right" and Of
kingship as a theocratic function, is
due, according to the Encyclopedia
Britannica, "to Oriental influences
brought to bear through Christianity .,
By the special religious ceremonies
connected with the coronation Of mon
archs, Christianity early gave to rul-
ers a special sanctity. 1t was not un-
til after the Reformation that mon
archs began to assume the right to
religious leadership. In the earlier
days such sanctity as hedged a. king
was supposed to have been conferred
upon him by the church. Protestant
monarchs, being spiritual as we'll as
temporal chieftains, assumed that the
ceremonial Of coronation, 1.-The anoint-
ing and vesting, were but the out
ward and visible symbol Of a divine
grace adherent in the sovereign by
virtue of his title.' After the crush
ing Of the French democracy and the
overthrow of Napoleon continental
Europe sought to revive this theory
Of divine right in its fullest signifi-
cance, and for a time it seemed that
I'the effort might succeed. The seeds
OF democracy had been scattered too
widely, however, for such crusade
to triumph, and it is only in Germany
and Russia that the idea of divine
right now finds any wide acceptance.

seven Of which were Americans and
four British. Among the vessels

were made prisoners, closely confined
and most barbarously treated; many
Americans have died in consequence
of their brutal usage. An English
Frigate has sailed from Caarthagena
