SOMEBODY HOME. BUT

A number of people have tried repeatedly to get tho News office over the telephone during the last tv.-o weeks but without success. That these and others nay know why the phone has not been anwered we offer the following: The News phone like number of other phones about town has been out of commission for the past two weeks and due to the fact that the manager has not spent any time in Williams dur. ing this period, the phone has remained out of condition. We have been in the plight of being able to hear the bell ring when we are called, but tho we may shout at the top of our lungs we can not make ourselves heard at the other end of the line. We have complained to the local central repeatedly but she hai been powerless to help us, althC repeatedly notifying the Flag staff office of the need of a little service down this way. We refrain from printing what we think about this kind of phone service. We confidently hope to get the phone repaired for the Christmas rush but in the we may be forced to get along without this con- vcnience.

Republican Senators are too busy campaigning to enact constructive legislation. They cannot keep a quorum on the floor to pass measures that business interests or the people at large are keenly interested in.
 A fine illustration of the real situation came in the Senate the other day when the dvestuffs bill which has been pending for months. failed of final con- sideration because it was im- possible to muster more than 39- Senators.

ALASKA AND THE NEWS PRINT PAPER CRISIS

That there is a possible sol. ution of the critical news-print paper situation existing in the United States is the opinion held out by Secretary of Agri. culture Meredith in a recent statement to the press of the
Williams news., 1920-05-21

country. This solution, the Secretary points out, will come about largely through the de- Velopment of the vast pulp re- sources now existing on the National Forests of Alaska. In this connection he predicts that Alaska will become in time a second Norway, since raw mat erial in the form of pulp wood is almost unlimited, potential water power exists in vast amounts, and unequaled ocean shipping facilities are right at hand. By proper manage ment the 100 million cords of pulp wood can be made to yield perpetually 2,OOO,O0O cords an- nually, which represents one third of the present consump- tion of the United States. Avail able for his development is at least 100 thousand horsepower of potential electric power in the water courses of the mount aims. The development of this great resource will probably proceed shortly, in Secretary Meredith's opinion, as present, prices of paper will make Alas kan pulp-manufacture profit
 able. To hasten this develop- n1ent the Forest Service has pre- pared data on sales areas and made ready for inquiries a12a 0ng thepaper producers by having thefigures, maps and ot'oe'' in- formation in shape for intelli- gent use by manufactures con- templating entry into this field.

We mailed today TO Ernest Amos,
state controller, a petition asking
that the Tucker case be reopened and
an attempt be made to put Tucker
back in the penitentiarys and his wife
IN another department of the same ;n-I

tition contained eleven pages. Among
them were those of the chairman Of
the board OF county commissioners
and three of his colleagues. of the
mayor of 0cala, president of the city
.countcil and three aldermen, the city

not numerous spare minutes. There
were scores we know would have

up, and if we could have made can

MRS. MARY E. BLAL0CK

~
The community was saddened to
learn yesterday that Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Blalock had peacefully
passed from time into eternity. at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Geo.
Il. Taylor, at 1880. o'clock Monday,
August 9th.
Mrs. Blalock had not been in strong
health for some time, altho her death
at this time came somewhat unex-
peetedly, and was fraught with sor-
row for her loved ones. They do not
mourn as those who have no hope,
for from earliest childhood Mrs. Bla-
lock has led consistent Christian
life and her last hours were sweeten-
ed with consciousness of duty faith
fully performed and frightened ard
glorifed with the dying Christians
faith visions of a blessed immortal
ity. Her last sufferings were borne
with truly Christian fortitude. with
out murmur or complaint. but with
meek and perfect resignation to the
will OF the Heavenly Father.
Mrs. Bla1oek was born IN North
Carolina and had lived to the good
old age Of ~ years. Her maiden name
was Mary Elizabeth Frink. She was
married to Thomas Blalock, i'm 1861
and lived with him an ideal married
life until two years ago the death of
Mr.. Blalock separated them. leaving
her desolate although lovingly and
tenderly cared for by her devoted

We do not blame the mother Of
Clarence Langford for trying to have
him pardoned OF course she believes
he Is innocent. and she would try as
hard and be as little to blame if she
knew he was guilty. But we don't
think Langford should be pardoned
for anything except new evidence GO
ing TO prove his innocence or casting
grave doubt on his guilt. Until such
evidence il forthcoming, we think
that any citizen who signs such a PEE
tition win wrong his neighbors ard
all his fellow-citizens. If such a pc
tition goes to Tallahassee, we expect
to print it and the names Of it's sign
ers. There are entirely too many
pardons granted anyhow We COM
mend to our citizens the following
from the DeFuniak Heralds Time
has been when we seriously doubted
whether or not we favored capital
punishment. Those doubts are gone
glimmering The ease with which the
average attorney and an intelligent
jury can succeed in thwarting justice
| and railroading the cold -blooded MUIR
derer to the penitentiary for E9e'
when justice demands that he should
be hanged, has multiplied murders in
west Florida to an alarming extent,
and If a halt isn't called and a return
made to sensible and adequate form
lof punishment, then conditions may
be expected to go from bad to worse
until the point is reached when any
mans life can scarcely be said to be
safe. The life sentence to the peni-
Tertiary means few years when the
criminal is pardoned out, and society
is again menaced by him. We have
in mind certain murderer sent up
from Walton county. The soil is
scarcely firmly settled about the de-
leaying body of his victim, yet an eff
fort is being made to get a pardon
for him. Opposition to capital pun
ishment is a dangerous fallacy, and
its banefu1 effect is already visible in
west Florida. In their maudlin sym
pathy for Blackwell, soldering SEN
timentalists have tried to appeal to
the public mind by blasphemously
comparing Blackwell with everything
from the Savior TO goose laying
golden eggs"

ton to civilization. For these in the silver sheen of age the State of Ari- zona tenderly as to a parent. gener- ously as to those to whom it is due, has provided high on a Prescott hill, a beautiful home. From every window there stretches a panorama of hill and pine, emblems of the beauty and peace they have earned in their declining years after a vigorous manhood and womanhood spent battling with the calishe and the desert trail.
 There, today under the kindly help fulness of a big hearted man super intendent, and his kindly wife, MT. and Mrs. George A. Shea, there are seven women and 50 men, living as guests of the state.
 Typical as the word guest should be and is today of the relation which these heroes of civilization bear to Arizona, to the shame and sorrow of those who know, it has been appli- cable only for little more than a year.
 A managerial policy was in vogue for years which leaned in implication to the theory that the home was an institution which placed on these men and women restraints as one might ex- pect to hedge about those in confine- ment. They were not allowed. for in- stance, up to January, 1919, to speak to an employe without permission from
