WHERE'S THE LEGISLATION COM
MIrrEE:

What has become OF the OoChCNi
Committee appointed to recommend leg
i>lation for the general good of the city,

meeting at which 10 recommended the
massage of the electric light bill that
was defeated in the last Legislature.
That is the extent of its laborS TO date
although il had at the same time num-
hcr of other important matters before
f.. The committee has dropped out OF
sight. IL should drop in again and get
through with its work. In a short time
the present Council will 30 out, and if
we are TO have the proposed legislation
passed no the coming session of the Leg
islature it should DE decided upon and
recommended Immediately.
Among the things the committee
should recommend Council TO ask of the
Legislature IS an amendment To the
charter making the incumbent in the
office of Chief of Police Ineligible Is his
own successor, and doubling the length
of his term. Long ago twas found adj
visable to adopt this policy in regard to
the office Of Sheriff The sheriff of the
County is Ineligible as his own success
or and his term is four years. Tho Chief
of Police of Wheeling should likewise
be made Ineligible as his own successor
and his term at least doubled, which
would make it four years.
The REGISTER has already cited ut
length the reasons for these changes.

"PR tTICAL POLITICS.
AS this was ,old, an apt illustration of
how things arfworkedr in the interests
of candidates II city offices, came into the
reporters heal This is about the way it
is done: \ coleman who wants the NOM
ination for theffice of dog-pelter or sky
scraper enters saloon. There are twenty
five or more len there, waiting for the
candidates whS they know will not fail to
call. "Give uifty beers, says the can
didate, and hdays two and half on the
bar The bar Ieper sets out the glasses
as fast as he Ct the candidate takes one
or two with I. crowd and then hurries
off, leaving tHcrowd to finish the fifty
beers at their lSure. There is a dance of
the Happy Hal Hundred or the Elegant
Eight at some III, with beer attachment,
such hops beir gotten up with astonlsh-
ing frequency about campaign times.
There our candate meets half dozen
rival candidatesand crowd of a hundred
or two men, a fG of whom are there to
h,,t hand N
drink free beer. Somebody who is after
an Office has just ct up hundred beers, at
a cost of fn dollars. Our candi
date is late, ard is little behind, as
a consequence, n popularity in that par
ticular crowd. H( orders up hundred,
and while the crowd are drinking he hur
riedly hands bill b three or four friends,
with instructions Il order 'em up" About
the time the first round of beer is out,
friend calls out, This is OH; give us
another hundred land this operation is
until the ate conner has gotten
upon level with tie others, or if starting
even, is away aheaL and he and his friends
90 out with n gret reputation, while the

this way that primaries are worked" by

and is also the cay the candidates are

WHAT CAN WE Dos

At the last session of the Ohio Valley
Round Table several school superinten-
dents were gathered together. They
discussed the question, 'What Can We
DO To Retain Our Boys in school
Longer" rs a prelude the very natu-
raj question, What Causes Our Boys TO
Leave School at an Early Age" was
discussed. The desire 20 make money;
the non-appreciation OF both pupil and
parent Of the advantage of IN education
or mental training; the desire of manu-
facturerS to obtain cheap labor ia many
instances: inefficient teaching, and the
lack of male teachers i'm the upper
grades: the influence of outside parties,
were among the reasons given why
'our boys leave school at an early age. ."

goes on TO say:

ment is now under way emanating from a

To he Editor Of tie Sunday Register:
SIR: In the report of the Board of Visit
ors of the Charitable and Correctional In
situations of Belmont county, complaint is
made of the filthy condition of the Bridge
port and other iails in the county. The
Mayors of these jails are censured because
they take but little interest and pride in
their sanitary condition. Now, the Mayor
has no power to interfere in this matter. In
Bridgeport it is the duty of the Marshal TO
keep the Jail in good condition. He is paid
nearly 800 per year for this service, and
he should do it well. Complaint has been
made of him before. No blame can be at
tached to Mayor Mitchell, and will not if
any one will examine the law y.
