KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, NOVEMBER 26, 1915.
HE IS THE LIMIT ~
Elsewhere in this issue is a reproduction of the let
ter written by the United States Marshal, of Juneau,
to Mr. Carlson, of this city, in answer to a demand for
the reward that was offered for the arrest of one
Krause.
The letter says in substance that to have given in
formation that lead tb Krause’s arrest was not su
ficient, that he should have arrested the man himself
Not only that, but it says further that for not havin.
given the information sooner, it is a question in his
mind (the Marshal) whether Carlson is not liable to
prosecution himself.
That beats all. Well, it’s no wonder that peopk ,
are reluctant in giving information to federal officials:
when a United States Marshal stands on technicalities
and refuses to encourage good work. However,
technically, the Marshal is correct in his contention,!
as the notice of reward reads "for the arrest.” But in|
this case we see a mere subterfuge to evade an obli
gation incurred and earned in good faith by an innocent
informant. But if we look at the proposition from
all angles, we arrive at a different conclusion as to
what would appear fair. For instance; suppose that
a woman, or even a child, would have noticed Krause
in Ketchikan, and knowing him would have reported
tc the deputy marshal who would have made the ar
rest; would the deputy be entitled to the reward? No
sane man with a grain of honesty in his make up
would so decide. It would be the acme of absurdity.
Carlson knew the man, spoke to him and after he had
learned that he was wanted, he gave the Information
and the man was arrested. This gives Carlson the
right to the reward and he should have it. Willingly
if possible, otherwise through a court of equity.

THEY 01 JUT TO KNOW BETTER
There is a gene d air of revival among die Rep i
Means this fall. N t only in the states, but in Alas:.' j
\.dl. A ;i confidence in the party was re
turning, or some,ig. And 'or several reasons, wej
admit that it is v unting ;V ; . Those reasons, how-1
ever, need not be ' iseussed at litis time. Suffice it |
to say that the ole party has never been in a better
position to become vovemor of the country again than
at this time, and all it needs to do is to relegate the
few unscrupulous b; sses to the background. Of course,
this is not easily lone, but it can be done just the
same. Here in Alaska where eighty per cent., of the
voters are republic, ns at heart, all there is to do is
to put Shackleford and two or three more of his stamp
aside and put a man like John Rustgard at the head
whom the whole country knows possesses the quali
fications that go to make up a man whom the voter
can trust, and the thing is done.
It may be rude to say so, but it is the truth never
theless that just so long as Shackleford and his'hunch;
have something to do with politics in Alaska, just so
long there shall be an independent party that must
split the old part;- and bring its defeat everytime.
Shackleford has killed the solidty of the party in
Alaska and cannot be revived while he has anything vo
do with it. It is to be regretted that Shakleford
cannot take a tumble to himself and go ’way back and
sity down. Besides, the old bosses should know by
this time that that is the only way they can get rid of
Wickersham, whom they have been fighting for these
many years. But just so long as they persist in
bossing the party, just so long will they allow then
enemy to be a delegate. And nobody knows that bet
ter than Wickersham himself.

HAPPINESS COMES IN PIECES
(From Charlston News)
We are told that happiness comes by pjeces, and
that it is these small bits linked together that make
our lives worth while. Some of us are not content
to take our happiness by degrees or at intervals.!
We want it nil the time in big pieces ,and if we cannot
have it that way we think that we are deprived of
our natural rights and look upon ourselves as in
jured beings. It is a rather singular expression of
human nature how happiness affects the individual.
With some of us it makes us friendlier toward others
and anxious that they should experience like joys;
with others it makes us too satisfied with ourselves
to think very much of our neighbors. Perhaps those
of us who know what the joy of living means have
experienced both of these attitudes at different pe
riods of our lives and are in position, therefore to
appreciate a varying viewpoint, but even so ii is or’’
after we lose something of that joy of living and
have found out for ourselves, that there are shadow?
which no amount, of sunlight can disperse that we
can readily appreciate the blessing of whatever hap
piness may find its way into our lives. The little
things that count so much in our intercourse with
each other are not always regarded as highly as
they should be, and for this reason we pass by much
that would give us joy if we only knew how and
where to find it. •
