Tnn olIice OF sherIfr is TOO re

THE Office of Sheriff is too re-
munerative. This is one reason
why there is such a squbble for the
position. Any man can fill the po-
sition, we might say, although it is
an important office. The salary is
large. Many times greater that our
highest officer. If this could be
remedied, and also making the
men aspiring for said Office to come
under such requirements as may be
provided by law, hereafter, proha-
bly, the Office would not be sought
with such determination to win
under all circumstances. The Office
pays enough to be divided, but,
probably this is out of the question,
as it would necessitate great ex-
pense upon the State. If the man
nominated for the office is put in
otherwise than honestly, turn him
down. We do not want men who
are put before the people by fraud
Turn them down, let the result be
what it will. Honest men will sup
port honest principals, and men
who dare to do right are needed,
We expect no patronage. We would
not support what we know to be
fraud even ifpromised patronage. We
want honest officials, and then VIC
shall look for honest government.
