MARK OF TRUE GREATNESS
First Presidents Noble Humility One ' of the Finest Attributes of
 His Character.

Great as Washington was, yet in his breast brightly burned the light of humility. One of the favorite pas sages of Washington's farewell mes sage reads as follows:
 "Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am uncon- scious of intentional error, am, nev- ertheless too sensible of my defects, not to think 1t probable that l may have committed many errors. What ever they may be, fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evil to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence and that after 45 years of my life dedicated to Its serv- ice with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself soon must be to the mansions of rest" -.... .-

E. M. STANTON
 GIVES HIS LIFE
 FOR COUNTRY

Word comes from the Interior to the effect that Edwin M. Stanton, an attorney of Iditarod, and we'll known throughout that section of Alaska, was killed while fighting with the American forces in France, his name appearing in recent casualty list
 Shortly after the declaration of war MT. Stanton left Iditarod for the pur- pose of joining the army, and enlisted as private with Pennsylvania regi- ment in order to be assured of getting into active service immediately. He was shortly afterward promoted to be sergeant.
 The death of E. M. Stanton will cause sorrow to his many friends in the Interior and elsewhere. He was a grandson and namesake of Lincoln's famous war secretary, and although born and reared in an atmosphere of affluence and refinement, he loved the life and crude surroundings of the North. We'll educated and a lawyer of ability, he yet loved to mingle with the miners and "roughnecks" of the Interior camps, among whom he had hundreds of friends and admirers.
 MT. Stanton came to Alaska in 1910 as a lieutenant in the regular army, and was stationed at Fort Seward He had enlisted as a private and had seen service in the Philippines, where sion. The life at Fort Seward was unsuited to his rowing spirit, and he resigned and went to Fairbanks. Judge Overfield, then on the bench Of the Fourth division, appointed him United States commissioner at 1dita- rod, and he went to that lively camp in 1911. He occupied the position for about year, and then took up the practice of his profession. He was at torney for the Yukon Gold Company and several other large interests, and was associated as counsel in impor- tant cases,
 Stantons mother and sister were travelling in Germany when the war broke out Mrs. Stanton was ill, and her physician was drafted in the Ger man army She succumbed there to her illness, and MT. Stanton was very bitter against the Germans, attribut- ing the death of his mother to their neglect.
 He was intensely patriotic. and when the United States declared war he wired an offer of his services to the war department Not being placed by the officials, he made haste to get into the struggle as a private.

MOLLIE BROWNS DEATH
 RESULT OF CHOKING

Molly Brown, whose real name is Myra Schmidt, died by being stran- gled or checked to death by a person or persons unknown to the jury" was the verdict reached by the coroner's jury at Juneau to determine the cause of the woman's death
 Bloody finger marks upon a towel indicated that the murderer might have checked the woman to death by pushing his fore-finger, covered with the towel, down her throat.
 A close examination of the room disclosed the fact that the bed had been made, and that glass in the win dows had been smashed and the screen door damaged. It was said that there were indications that the woman had been first struck on the head before being strangled, as there were two small marks on her face, one on her chin and the other on the side of the jaw.
 Molly Brown, about 22 years old went to Juneau about six weeks ago from Seattle. Last summer and in the early part of July she was in Cor dova. Apparently she did not have any intimate friends in Juneau. The cabin in which she resided is by itself below the sawmilf s..

Washlnston's Peculiarly paes. ..,
 It is the conclusion aflnd Gnani- nous among historians that George Washington was the only man among the Fathers of the Republic fitted mentally and temperamentally to car " the revolution to victory. The tre- mendous burden not only of creating and organizing an army from raw and undisciplined volunteers in the face of a strong enemy, but also of or ganfzing the patriotism of the country through volumin0us correspondence with the governors and leading men of the colonies and of maintaining both organizations through weary years of military disasters, political bickerings and petty jealousles, would have crumpled the back of any other man the revolution produced. He had to be at one and the same time gen. aral, diplomat and statesman.

The suggestion of Thomas J. Dono- hoe that the Alaska legislature should make liberal provision for taking care of Alaska's returning soldiers is time ly, and it should and no doubt will re- ceive earnest consideration. The legislature of the state of Washing ton has passed bill appropriating $500, 900 to be expended under the di- rection of commission to be appoint ed by the governor to aid in replacing soldiers of that state as they are dis charged. The commission is given a pretty free hand to meet all problems as they arise. It is understood that the commission will be given many duties as the legislation creating them is worked through the two houses, and that the commission will be a hard working affair. The Washington legislature appointed Joint commit tee of the two houses to visit the legislatures of Idaho and Montant and Oregon to. urge similar legislation. N
 No doubt the Alaska legislature will familiarize itself with what these and other states are doing. z That il will meet the situation fairly and in g spirit of liberality and patriQttsM there is not the slightest doubt Iii the world. Juneau Empire

TAX IS
 MADEPAYABLE
 ON MARCH E

That there will be no general ex- tension of time beyond March 15 TOT the filing of returns and for the pay ment of income and excess pronts taxes due on that date, is the decision of Daniel c. Roper, commissioner or internal revenue The announcement was made by Collector David J. Wal Hams immediately following the ap- proval by the senate and house on the report of the conferences on the new revenue bill. Commissioner Roper is- sued the following statement:
 A financial emergency makes It necessary to get the initial tax pay ments in by March 15. No other course is possible Some months ago, in the emergency of financing the war, the treasury issued certificates of in- betedness to an amount approximat- ing $S0O,OOO,000, maturing March 10. The first payment of the income and excess profits taxes for 1918 was planned for that date, to meet this huge obligation.
 The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by cooperation. This present situation is another emergency which can be overcome by cooperative effort. The bureau ex- tends it's every force toward this end and am relying upon the people to meet the situation whole-heartedly. The Internal Revenue bureau must carry out the program prescribed m the new law, which requires all re- turns for 1918 to be filed on or before l March 16, 1919. and requires the first 1 quarterly payment or the entire pay
 ment to be made on or before that
 date.

We are glad to see that steps are being taken to untangle some of the red tape that is hindering the demobil- ization of Alaska troops at nearby forts. What good several hundred men can do holding down a desolate Alaska army post in the middle of an Alaska winter is beyond comprehen- sion. In army camps all over the country men are being released when proof is shown that they are needed in industrial occupations, but it seems that here in Alaska, where men are needed for their old jobs the most the officers in charge won't even look at the proofs.-Douglas News.
