Judge Witten Candidate
for Land Commissioner
I
Alaskans in general will be pleased
to learn that Judge James \V. Witten,
Democrat from grand old Missouri,
is an aspirant for the appointment of
Commissioner of the (Jeneral Land Of
fice, Washington, I). C. Judge Wit
ton is highly endorsed by many Rep
resentatives in Congress and Gover
nors of States, extending front W is
consin to the Pacific Coast. His long
and faithful service in the General
Land Otlice as chief counsel to its
commissioners and heads of divisions
in that bureau, his frequent visits j
throughout the Western country and
to Alaska, studying its conditions and ;
j its needs have given Judge Witten
opportunities to acquire rare qualifi-1
j cations for the office he seeks. Certain
ly from a deserving and meritorious
standpoint, bis worth, ability and un
swerving fidelity to what is just and
right, make him the logical and best I
qualified man in the service for the
office of Commissioner of the General
Land Office, and Alaskans in general
hope that Judge James W. Witten will
be honored by appointment to the of
' fice that he is so eminently qualified
| to fill.
James W. Witten was born in Grun
dy County. Missouri, in lS.r>5, educated
at Central College. Fayette. Mo.; ad
mitted to the Bar in Grundy County.
Mo., in 1881: and practiced law at Al
bany. Mo., for twelve years, during
which time he served two terms as
Prosecuting Attorney.
Later he was a Principal Examiner
in the General Land Office, and was
subsequently promoted to the highest
legal position in that office and for a
number of years he has been the chief
legal advisor to its commissioners and
the chiefs of its divisions, and has
considered its most important cases.
In 1S94 he was sent to Oklahoma by
Secretary Smith to investigate and
close up the business of seven town
site boards, and to investigate charges
against officers of three land offices.
Iii 1S9C, during Secretary Francis*
administration of the Interior Depart
ment, he was on detail to adjust
swamp land grants to .Missouri and
Illinois, and to sit in and decide an im
portant land olilce case in Des .Moines,
Iowa,
In 1 DO:: Secretary Hitchcock sent
liini to Alaska to make extensive in
vestigations into economic and other
conditions in that district to be used
by the Interior Department in recom
mending legislation; and his reports
011 these investigations were published
in book form for general distribution
as public documents at the personal
direction of the President. In 1911 he
again visite dAlaska on a like com
mission.
He lias devised methods for and,
under orders from Presidents Roose
velt and Taft, and Secretaries Hitch
cock, Garfield, Ballinger. and Fisher,
personally superintended more than
twenty-five openings and sales of In
dian lands embracing several million
.?teres. Simplified methods devised by
him for these openings have relieved
land applications from hardships, an
noyances and expense imposed by the
methods employed at former openings,
and reduced the cost of such openings
to less than one-half the former cost.
In connection with these openings
and sales lie lias visited many parts
of the West and closely observed and
studied local conditions and needs con
nected with the disposal of public
lands.
lie is tlie author of an article on
"The Public Domain," published in
the latest edition of the "Kncvclopedia
Americana." and was retained by the
American Law Hook Company to write
an extensive article 011 the public
land law* ot' the United States and
Canada for the "Cyclopedia of Law and
Procedure," (Cyc.) but the assign
ment to him of additional otlicial du
ties. in connection with the opening
and sale of Indian lands, prevented its
completion.
TRAINS HER SERVANT GIRLS
TO MARRY HER NINE SONS
i ST. LOUIS, Fob. 6. Mrs. Louis J.
Tichacok, wife of a wealthy marble
manufacturer and former Missouri
State Representative, trains servant
girls in her home to be wives of her
sons. She has made three of these
matches and they have been so suc
cessful that she has plans for keep
j ing her personally conducted matrimo
nial system in operation until all of
her nine sons have taken servants
of the family as wives.
The father of this interesting family
of nine sons and a daughter also has
a system. As each son reaches the
age of 16 he is given an interest in
the father's business and becomes an
active partner in it. Tichacok has
just taken his eighth son, Harry, in
to the firm.
"Their mother finds their wives
and I put them in business and every
body is happy." says Tichacok.
Mrs. Tichacok has a rule which
thus far has never failed her. This
is the way she states it:
"If a girl is good enough to work
in my household for five years she
is good enough to marry one of my
sons."
Always Has One in Training
When a girl has successfully passed
through the five years of probation and
has shown that she is proficient as
a cook and as a housekeeper, accord
ing to the standard set by this mother
of ten. Mrs. Tichacek does not hesti
tate to recommend her to the oldest
son still single as a qualified and de
sirable helpmeet.
With wise executive foresight Mrs.
Tichacek preserves the line of suc
cession by always having one or more
household servants in training when
tin- senior in rank is approaching the
end of the allotted five-year period.
Friends of the family are comment
ing with interest on the fact that three
of the sons who have reached legal
age -George. 27; Edward, 24; and
Charles, 22 are still bachelors, and
that coincidentally a young woman re
garded by all of Mrs. Tichacek's wom
an acquaintances as a paragon of
servants has been with the family al
most five years.
The sons who have followed their
mother's advice in selecting servants
in the house for wives, and who have
not regretted it, are Louis, 33; An
gust,31; and Frank, 29. Louis has
two sons. August has four daughters
and Frank has a son and a daughter.
The younger member of the Tich
acok family are Jerome, 20, Marie, 17:
Harry, 16, and Eugene, 7.
The three married sons have homes
adjoining the paternal residence.
Family Gathers Nightly
"Our daughters-in-law are as dear
to us as our sons," said Tichacek.
"Every night they come to our home
with their families and we have a
party. We make our home so attrac
tive that our sons never go elsewhere
to find amusement.
"I have never had cause to regret
taking my sons into my business as
partners. Day and night we are a
happy family."
Tichacek has been in the graining
and marbling business In St. Louis
thirty-six years. He was a member
of the State Legislature In 1903 and
is a candidate for the Democratic nom
ination for City Registrar at the com
ing spring election.

BRYAN "DICTATE
POSITIONS ABROAD"
Story that Purports to Show Nebras- j
kan Expects to Be Secretary
of State.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.?William J.
Bryan's most Intimate friends do
not believe that he has been offered
a place in President-elect Wilson's
Cabinet, but they are confident that
he will be tendered the position of
Secretary of States.
Some time ago one of .Mr. Bryan's
loyal supporters went to him for his
support or indorsement for a foreign;
appointment. .Mr. Bryan told him, so
the story goes, that he was not able
to help him then, but later might be.
.Mr. Bryan is represented as saying
that he would be in a position to
"absolutely dictate all foreign ap
pointments" or he would not have
"anything whatever to do with them."
This is interpreted to mean that .Mr.
Bryan expects to be offered the po
sition of Secretary of State and that
lie will accept under certain conditions
made by himself.
There is considerable talk among
j members because so few leading Dem
ocratic Congressmen have been invit
ed to New Jersey for conference.
Mr. Bryan Won't Discuss the Secre
i
tary of State Rumor.
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 6.?"I see no reus- .
on why I should discuss the state- *
inent," said W. J. Bryan today, when ?
asked about the story from New York .
that he would accept the position of '
Secretary of State and had cancelled ?
all lecture engagements after March .
I. Mr. Bryan has said repeatedly that '
he would say nothing about any Cab- "
inet position. j ?
