deputy marshals and cor
ruption
The Chena Times makes a vicious at
tack on deputy United States marshals
In Alaska, whom It.accuses o ( hiring
Indian prostitutes to induce men to
give them liquor and then offering
thtm the alternative of paying money
for silence or going to jail for selling
liquor to Indians. The money, when
paid, U is charged, is divided by the
ofB'ers and the women. When the
men elect to stand trial and, perchance.
go to jail, the marshals, according to
the acousations.get the fees arising out
of the cases, and, where there are con
victions, the profit accruing between
the actual cost of boarding prisoners
and the allowance for that purpose
made by the federal government. The
charges are made in a sweeping and
general sort of wav so tint they are not
necessarily against any particular offi
cial, but might be applied to any or all.
These are very serious accusations to
make against men in public service.
Before making them a newspaper
should be well fortified with facts, atjd
they shocld be specifically made!
Unless it means that the practices ?re
general and are applicable to all the
deputies in the district it should name
names. It owes this much to the pub
lic in general and to the officials who
may be guiltless particularly.
If such conditions exists as those
oharged ">y the Cheaa paper, those
who kuow of the facts and will cot pre
sent them to district attorneys and
grand juries, of Alaska, and the execu
tive department of the government at
Washington are both remiss in their
duty i.s citizens and they are missing
an opportunity to win the gr.ititude of
friends that would make fame for them
did they but give it the right to
find expression.
However, such charges shou'd not be
made lightly or for political ir personal
advantage, and there is much in the
manner of their making and their re
publication at Juneau that would indi
cate they are not inspired by
the highest motives. The l hena pa
per has been making w&r on the feder
al officia's of its district because thej
saw fit to make the headquarters of t!;e
Third division at Fairbanks, and the
Transcript is fighting those of the First
division because it thinks it should re
ceive a larger share of public patron
age-than it has been getting.
However, that there should be less
Inducement for officials to do as the
Chena paper charges that they have
done and that there should be less sem
blance of a foundation for such accusa
tions when falsely male, the law should
be changed so as to do awav with the
Iniquitous fee system and the law re
garding the boarding of prisoners
should provide th.it vouchers for that
service n ay be audited and paid the
same is those for other axpenses in
connection with courts.
The Juneaa Transcript confessed be
fore i's declai ation of war on the federal
officials that it is 'ederal patrooage it
wants. We had a paper at Skagway
once in the not long a:o that abused
Skagway 's busiuess men. opposed every
public matter for which they stood and
attributed sinister moliv s to them for
t'aeir attitude, because they would nut
give it patronage. It attacked people
whom it .sooght to injure under the
oovlr of the lackmailer's iouendo and
resorted to all the blackmailer's tricks
to avoid legal responsibility in its ne
farious purpose to blacken others, but
was ever re-dy to y ic'd sycophant:c
support to any proposition that m? ant
patronage. This paper fil.s an unl on
ored grave. The Transcript should be
careful to avoid the experience of tne
Ill-fated Guide.

IN A LONDON FOG
[Copyright, 1906. by C. H. Sutcllffo.]
Colonel George McGUl liad been lu
London for six'tveeks. putting through
a patent on an Invention of bis thai
Uai! already been patented in the Unit
td States, wheu be dropped, into an eat-'
lug bouse In a street off tlie Strand one
day and there met n foreigner who hi
teivsted him.
He was a Russian and also an in
vei:tor. He called himself an lnventoi
of l.iechanical toys, and as tie two be
eaL'.e better acquainted he gave tht
colonel his address and asked him tc
call and see some of his work. Thra
days later the colonel called. He found
his man on the third lloor of a mean
house In a squalid street. The man had
rigged up a workbench and supplied
himself with tools, and what he was
really trying to do was to produce a
clock that should spring an lufernal
machine at the hour and minute In
tended.
The colonel was a big, unsuspicious
westerner, having no thought of plots
or conspiracies aud perfectly willing to
give a fellow Inventor any help possi
ble. He called three different times in
as many days, working for a couple of
hours each time, and then the inven
tion was complete. The Russian, who
could speak English fairly well, had
completely bamboozled blm as to the
object of the clockwork.
One night, three weeks after the Rus
sian had dropped out. of sight, the colo
nel decided to attend the theater. He
sat through the performance and came
out! as others did, to And a fog so
thick that one could hardly see his
hand wheu stretched out the length
of the arm. He had not far to go,
however? three blocks dowu the street
and then turn to the left and go one
block to the corner house. He could1
have done that with his eyes shut
There were pedestrians ahead aud iu
rear of him as he made his way dowu
to the corner, but standing there a mo
ment he realized that no one had turned
Into the side street.
Suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, he was seized by two men. I

of the men at the table after the silence
