In the recent retirement of Emmett R. .Iordan from the office of Unit
ed States Marshal there passed from public view one of the most efficient
public officials who has so far represented the federal governin'nt in the
Second Division. During his more than eight years of service Mr. Jordan
not onl> discharged the duties of his office in such a manner as to win the
highest regard of his superiors in Washington but. what is even more, es
tablished an official and personal record that has gained for him the highest
regaul of the good people among whom he dwelt for the greater part of the
past decade.
In view of the difficulties created by the bitter and long continued
efforts of certain unscrupulous political opposers to bring him into popular
as well as official disfavor, employing at times in the effort, methods so vile
as to shame the very name of decency; that he leaves this community with
the highest respect and regard of all clean minded and upright citizens is a
record of which any man might well be proud.
Ever faithful to the duties of his position and at all times comport
ing himself in a straightforward, upright ami thoroughly manly way; we be
lieve we echo the sentiment of a vast majority of Nome's populace in ven
turing to say on the eve of his departure that no public official has ever
been in our midst who stood higher in the estimation of those among whom
he functioned, both, as official and man. or who discharged his duties in
more efficient and faithful manner, than Mr. Jordan.
That ho was maligned and abused throughout th>- greater part of
his two terms in office by hostile and malevolent political elements casts no
sinister reflection on either his public or private record, for the very suc
cinct reason that his personal and official attitude was at all times such as
developed confidence and esteem in the mind of the. law abiding public
it is with no intention to reflect upon either past or present officials
we add that we feel, and believe the public also feels, that tin- district has
not witnessed more efficient administration of public office or an official with
a clearer personal record than that of Emmett ft. Jordan. Neither has it
ever viewed the retirement of an official with a deeper sense of regret In
leaves us he carries w ith him the best wishes of those with whom he was so
long associated as an official and citizen and few indeed who know him who
will not wish him the best of fortun** in the years to come.
And dome depart, unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

America is today extending greeting to Ferdinand Foeh. .Marshal of France,
and Commander-in Chief of the Allied Annies. Needless to say it is a
proud welcome that this land, where Iranian freedom has attained its high
est expression, is giving to the great French soldiei and leader in testi
mony of his services in th«> perpetuali..:, of the ideals for which the natiov
stand.< America would have been proud to welcome him to her shores
long atgo For nearly three years we have desired to open to him the
doors of our national hospitality and the wish is now being gratified. IT-'
is here not only to receive the salutations and honors of the nation, hu‘
also those of the American Legion assembled in their 11*21 convention
the greeting of freedom's soldiers to the world's greatest soldier.
America not only welcomes Mmshal Foch because his name symbol
izes the war-time solidarity of the Allied and Associated Powers in the (Treat
'e ar. but also, and not less warmly, b cause he represents the free soldier,
the world over, who unsheathed his sword in defense of his own freedom
and the liberties of all those who are near at d dear to him A fre • sol
dier battling against the might of a militarism run iumicli must command
respect and admiration of ail free men whenever they may he; and none
will yield tills respect ami admiration more readily or with deeper inten
