The United States Mar
shal—At White
lie rates himself as a “clever pol
itician.”
r^et us see!
When he was on his way to Alas
ka carrying his carpet-bag and fed
eral commission, he arrived in Sea;
tip. There he called upon the lead
er of the Democrats, John W. Troy,
of Juneau, and asked him what his
wishes were regarding appointments
of deputies in Alaska, particularly
M’ Juneau.
White says he is a “Republican
TTe has .for his strong man, “Bill
Garster. for many years a “Demo
£rat for revenue only” and now un
doubtedly a Republican for the same
reason.”
His deputy at Petersburg is a cer
vi n C. V. Brown, ex-policeman of
Vos Angeles. If there is a tougher
or more inconsiderate or unfair offic
er in the employ of the government
of the United States, we don’t know
wnere ne is.
When Brown arrested David, m
Indian, for violating the game laws.
Brown would not give the fellow
time to secure his logs or donkey
The result was that David lost his
donkey. 5G.000 feet of timber—the
st linpage which he had to pay was
$85., and the value of the logs $504.
Brown told the writer that if Da
vid had not engaged a lawyer, they
'-ould have let him off “easy.” This
lends color to the oft repeated
charge that IT. S. Commissioner C
Clausen of Petersburg gets his in
structions from “broken-arch*
Brown.
Brown is not only inconsiderate
but lie has the foulest mouth of any
man of our acquaintance—and wr
ha' e known many in this northland
He cares not that his stentoriar.
voice—so long as he wears his badge
— cf.n he heard hv ladies and gentle
wen.
Not long ago Brown was invited
to take off his badge—following
abusive language by the “flatfoot 1
---:nd “we will find out if you are
re illy as brave as you sound.” But
Urwn was afraid to take off his
badge, whereupon the party told
him “1 always thought you had a
streak of YELLOW down your back
because you talk so brave and loud.
But now I know you are YELLOW
and ALL YELLOW.”
All these tilings would not be per
tinent nor important—though uu
ilesircable—if it were not for the
xuct that United States Marshal
White has made Flat-foot Brown his
PRIME MINISTER in the Peters
burg district. “The king can do no
wrong you know—the Prime Min
cer did it and so I’ll fire him.”
Another thing about this bad con
dition is this, Unite States Commi.s
idorer, largely through the influ
ence of officer Brown, has become
a sort of prosecuting attorney in
stead of judge of the court. When
ever a crime is alleged to have been
committed, “Judge” Clausen be
corres HAWKESHAW Clausen, and
sleuthes around until he gets
enough evidence to convict. On
one occasion, he and Brown made
tiie person charged with crime fur
nish evidence by simulating, the
walk of another person and answer
questions of all sorts without warn
ing him, all before the case could
■’('me before the “Judge” Clausen
and while he was still acting as
“Sleuth” Clausen.
Not long ago, one of White’s de-J
puties had the federal school teach
er at Douglas arrested for report
ing to the deputy certain facts
trict, White tries to dodge his re- j
sponsibilities as he “washes his!
hands” and says, “Caswell has full !
charge of the Ketchikan office. He j
makes the appointments. I have;
full confidence in Mr. Caswell.”
But White CANNOT dodge his1
responsibilities, and the first time
that a suit against Caswell has to
be brought, Mr. White will be join
ed as a party to it by which circum
stance he will know that he is the
•J. S. Marshal and not Caswell.
By a system of transfers, White
got rid of his two deputies in Ketch
kan. The real reason for bis dis
satisfaction was this—Caswell told
White that the Ketchikan deputies
had not worked hard enough for
Ids—Caswell’s election. So Caswell
is piven the Ketchikan office and his
frst appointments were—one man
who was so drunk during an entir.;
wtek lust April that lie could not
understand important messages
that were told him—the other was
tl » appointment of a man whose
place of “business” near Seattle
had recently been raided by the pro
h’bition department. And when this
information was given to Mr. White
be answered, “I have full confidenc*
in Mr. Caswell.”
Ketchikan is still a wide open
town. Raids are being made upon
manufacturers of “home brew” per
haps on the theory that it will in
terfere with the sale of “import
ed stuff.”
Put A1 White has a pull—he puli*
queer stuff When he decided to g:
to Idaho and help elect the late
Senator Gooding, he “assessed” hi?
deputies TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
EACH for his "expenses,” and sen'
oi e of his deputies around to colled
the assessments. The amount White
asked for was FIFTY DOLLARS
Was that the real reason he fire.’
(transferred) certain of his deputies
knowing very well that the “trans
fer would lead to their resignation?
Deputy Marshal Caswell, U. S
Ma shal White’s “messenger boy.’
was Marshal White’s candidate foi
Delegate to the Republican Conveu
tion, and on their representatio
that they were friends of the Na
tiv^s, the Natives were asked un
did vote (many of them) for Cs
wdl. Marshal White is construii:
t ie law so that Indian children can
not get money from the tuna foi
the relief of destitution. WIr'tt
new holds that altho the leglsi.it ur
has not said so, the money is only
for white children, and th-ief :•c
he will amend the law and act ar
or i dingly.
The situation is this: —
Marshal White, a republic 1 ap
pointee, consults with the loading
D inocrat as to appointments in Ju
neau;
lie keeps as his leading deputy
a *otorious democrat;
Le keeps in office C. V. Grown a
mi i utterly unfit for any public of
fer ;
He punishes deputies who were
not active in supporting his candi
date for office by “transferring”
thpm;
He levies upon his officers and col
h-cfo tribute for which he makes no
a counting under the excuse that h -
is campaigning for the election of
a United States Senator—even tho
he was told to go home.
He usurps the duty of the District
Court and discriminates against des
titute Native children contrary to
the letter of the law appropriating
t’ e funds.
He places a certain William PI
Caswell in charge of the Ketchikan
office who promptly appoints men as
deputies who from their own recent
record are unfit for such commis
sions.
He may receive a reappointment
bT- showing Mr. Hoover that he—
White—was for Hoover (until Hoov
e" learns that White was also for
Curtis).
Some folks are natural born pol
iticians—like an ostrich.
THE PLEDGE
! believe in the United States oi
America as a government of the
people, for the people; whose just
powers are derived from the con
sent of the governed; a democracy j
in a republic; a sovereign natn-iJ
of. many sovereign states; a perfect
union, one and inseparable; estab
lished upon those principles of free- j
dom, equality, justice, and liumani ,
tv for which American patriots sac-.
rificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duly'
to my country to love it, to support
constitution; to obey i's laws;
to inspect its flag; and to defend it
against all enemies.”
.lust a little old fashioae 1 Ameri
canism we delight in reading ai'te
reading the un-American trash
broadcast by Stroller White of Ju
i neau and some more southern |
“gentlemen” who left their respect
for their country and its laws south
of the Mason and Dixon line—11
they had any.
Socially we know of no Alaskan
Native who cares to associate with
Southern “mountain trash” now
spreading their doctrines of ra ;
hatred; we know of one or two Na
tives, so demoralized and u moral t>
"would he willing to consort with the
noi'le American gentleman, of Jr.
neau, for a bottle of ‘white mule”
or perhaps he does not need to loot,
for “mountain dew.” Morally, yes.
to our shame and regret we ad mb
he has his contemporaries, a roupl •
oi them in Juneau. Perhaps it was
due somewhat to the example.
Nay, Stroller, social equality lias
not to do with the right or fran

exercise that right cannot be flout

What kind of nincompoop:* ar
the members of the Alaska Bar Ar
sociation, anyhow? And is this A;
sucmtion merely the tail of the Can
nrrv kite trying to sweep all Alask ■
into the laps of Oregon, Washing
ton and California taxpayers?
The Bar Association recently en
dorsed one Lester Gore for the im
portant office of Federal Judge in
the First Division. In the words o'
? layman—“They ask for the ap
pointment of a pinhead and a pliant
tool who' would detract from tie;
dignity of that office."
They oppose appointment ot
James Wickershsm for the same of
hoe in the same breath with which
they endorse Lester. What’s come
over Alaska—is it to continue to
be misruled and misgoverned by pin
heads and political peewees for the
benefit of its prostitutors—the Can
ning Trust?
M. D. Lightfield, of Springfield,
Mo member of the Missouri Demo
eratic state committee announced
plans for the organization of Demo
cratic Hoover-for-President clubs
throughout the midwest. The pur
pose of which organization being ,o
“teach Democrats how to vote for
Hoover and yet support their lo
cal tickets. He declared that hun
dreds of Democrats are interested
in just such a procedure.
THE LETTER “E”
Some one has advanced the opin
ion that the letter “e” is the most
unfortunate character in the English
alphabet, because it is always om
of cash, forever in debt, never out cf
danger, and in hell all the time.
But we call his attention to the
fact, says the Charleston Gazette,
that “e” is never in war and always
in peace. It is the beginning of ex
istence, the commencement of ease
and end of trouble. Without ii
there would be no meat, no life and
no heaven. It is the center of ho.i
esty, makes love perfect ,and without
it there woujd be no creditors, dev
ils or newfe.—Charleston (W.Va )
