WHO GAVE US THE LIGHTING
SYSTEM2

1t is admitted on all hands that Sacra-
mento is better lighted by electricity than
any city of the State.
The intersection system we have Will
lam Mclaughlin to thank for. He in
vestigated all other systems, began fight
for that we now have, and in the face of
Bitter opposition secured for us the street
intersection system we now enjoy.
1t will repay any who doubt this to
look back over the history of his admin
istration. They will find that what we
have stated is accurately correct. When
a man presents himself for reelection
his record in Office is open to inspection,
and it is only common justice to give
him credit for his accomplishments Let
voters recall the electric light contro-
versy, and they will remember that to
William Mclaughlin and his sturd1ness
and frmness we owe the abandonment
of the pole system, and the gas lamp sys-
tenn, and the successful establishment of
the splendid and economic system we
now have, by which a single arc light is
made to do service in four directions in
stead ftwo.

HAVE YOU THE GRIP !?

Many People Have 1t and Do Not
Know 1t = How to Recognize the
symptoms and How to Treat Them.
Hundreds of people have the Grip who do
not know it. Not necessarily the final stages,
but the first stages. They feel pains in the
head, and bad taste ID the mouth, get tired
and respondent, have chilly sensations, limbs
and muscles ache. In some eases these things
are overlooked. In most cases perhaps they
are considered simply slight cold. In nearly
every case they indicate the coming of Grip.
There is but one thing to do when these
symptoms appear, and that is TO take prompt
and vigorous measures, TO fortify nature to
repel the enemy. A little well directed effort
at just the right time will accomplish very
much more than labored efforts afterward.
There is butone thing TO be DONE and that is to
use pure stimulant, something that will
promptly arrest, and in no way injure, some
thing Endorsed by scientists, recommended by
physicians, and popular because SO efficient
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky. Two years ago.
and last year when the Grip was raging this
was the standard remedy used and recon-
mended by the profession. 1t did more 10 pre-
vent the Grip than all other known or recon-
mended remedies 1t preserved many people
in health who would otherwise have been
grieyously sick, perhaps even worse. 1t is as
efficient to-day as ever. 1t should be borne in
mind that other so-called WHISTLES may not be
SO efficient, and if any dealer asserts that such
WHISTLES are the same. distrust him at once.
There is but one medicinal whisky and that
is Dufy's Pure Malt.

WHAT is achieved under an officers
administration is, in all fairness, to
be passed to his credit. Cement side
walk building we have as a settled sys-
tenn now; but seven-tenths ofthe progress
made in city improvements of that order
is due to William McLaughlin's courage
and push. He condemned walks and
ordered in cement pavements, where for
ten years there had been failure of all
efforts to compel the construction of de-
cent walkways. Of course, in doing so
he made enemies. Some people who
were caught up in the act of patching
wooden walks, and We're compelled by
McLaughlin's vigor and firmness to COM
ply with the law, hate the man. But Mr.
Mclaughlin in doing his duty is no trim
mer. He does his duty whether it offends a
friend or makes foe, and for that very
reason he should be retained in office.

DOCTORS REPORTS.

The same difficulty has arisen in Chi
cago that threatened here not long ago.
number of physicians refuse to report
cases of contagious disease unless they
are paid fee therefor. Chicago people
cannot understand why such a position
should be taken, nor have we been able
to comprehend it. 1t is not greed, for the
doctors say that nominal fee will suffice.
SO what they desire is the establishment
of principle. The REcoRD-U UNION has
had more good words for the medical
men than most of the press, because it is
impressed with she progressive character
of the profession, and of the high code
of ethics that prevails in it. But in
this contest for a fee for reporting con-
tagious diseases to municipal authorities
it is so manifestly in the wrong that we
cannot fail to enter protest.
The physician is licensed: under thar
license he enjoys certain exclusive privi-
leges. communities saw fit they could
make the reporting referred to a condition
ofthe license, but no municipality or State
has as yet manifested disposition to do
this; the present contention of the doctors
may drive them to it. The profession
justly claims that 1t imposes a duty on its
members to advocate preventive medi-
cine, to aid the advance of sanitary
science and to patent no discoveries they
make that viii tend to these ends. Why,
then, should they decline to act in that
direction by refusing to notify authorities
where assault upon the public health is
made by contagion. The duty to report
appears to US TO be made imperative by
the ethical code of the doctors, because
the knowledge of the location of cases of
contagious disease is essential to the
effort to stamp out and prevent its
spread.
But the duty is not an onerous one. A
postal card with a penciled line thereon
viii give the health authorities all the
necessary information and not impose

onds of writing in each case. If the
nominal fee asked is merely to enforce
recognition, it is useless. since the very
law complained of recognizes the position
of the doctor. But the fee, if only ST.,
would amount TO very considerable
sum to taxpayers, and might just as well
be disbursed among others if it is to be
the means of information TO cities. How
would the doctors like it if the fee were
made premium or reward to all persons
who would give the desired information
If that is done, as is proposed in some
cities, it will cause physicians tar more
trouble than reporting. We concede that
doctors ought to be paid for expert testi-
mony in the courts. since it is part OF

WHO DISPOSED OF THE oBsTRUC-
TIONS.

When William Mclaughlin became
Street Commissioner the city sidewalks
were blocked, encroached upon and OBJ
structed and had been for years. All
efforts to clear them had failed. Boot
black stands, refreshment booths, and
even fully equipped restaurants occupied
the sidewalks and business streets, re-
sembling the entrance avenues to a circus
with side-shows on all hands.
Vain attempts to GUST these trespassers
had been made for years; arrests were
effected, jury trials demanded, and the
offenders all went clear. It seemed as if
the city had settled down to suffering
submission to the nuisance, and as if
pubic highways were to be given up to
men to do business upon without rent or
taxes in opposition to legitimate business
within buildings, on which rents and
taxes were paid.
1t remained for William Mclaughlin to
clear out the whole lot of distractions.
He took up the ak of authority, laid it
at the root of the evil and tore down the
Instructions, pulled them about the ears
OF offenders and cleared the streets.
Citizens will remember how this man
with courage and crow-bar, resolution
and an ak, went out and hewed and pried
nuisanees clear of the walkways; how he
enforced the law by driving the huckster
stands, bootblacks and twepenny restau-
rants back of the inner walkway lines
and compelled them to obey the ordi-
nauces. He forced them to sue him if
they had any complaint, and he won in
every instance.
That is the kind of man we want in the
office; one who knowing his duty does
it; takes on responsibility, shoulders the
consequences and trusts in the people
and the law to vindicate him. Let the
people recall the history we have recited
and reflect whether or not we have cor
rectly stated it, and to whom they are in
debted for reform that for twenty-five
years had been demanded and had failed.

RRAzEN EFFRoNTERY.

The effort of the bosses to down John
B. Rodgers has recoiled upon themselves.
They first inspired political body to
seek the opinion of the States law officer
upon the question whether a child under
certain conditions gains citizenship
through the naturalization of its mother.
The answer was against the opponents of
Mr.. Rodgers.
Next they inspired their hand-organ to
declare that Mr.. Rodgers was not citi-
zen, and to warn the people that his right
to place upon the official ballot would
be objected to and contested. Then came
the second decision of the States law of
ficer, that Mr.. Rodgers is eligible to be a
candidate, and is citizen and eligible to
election.
For the third time the desperate men
came back, and through the bosses hand
organ announce that despite the law, and
the decisions under it, if the voters of the
city dare to elect John B. Rodgers Chief
of Police, he will not be permitted to take
the Office, but by legal steps will be en-
joined.
All of which makes votes for Mr.. Rod
gers. The opponents of this free citizen
can find nothing whatever to advance
against him, and have therefore entered
upon the dangerous work OF intimidating
voters, and threatening law suits and con-
tests and legal injunctions. We mistake
the temper of the people if they do not
resent this impudence as it deserves.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.

On the eighth page will be- found the
call and ordinances providing for u spec
ial city election for May 81 to vote for or
against bond issue of $4,000 to fund
the floating debt and buy the bridge, and
to vote on the proposition to allow the
council further credit of $500 for mYnici-
pal purposes. The propositions contained
in these ordinances are OF major impor-
lance to the taxpayers of Aberdeen at
this time and the ordinances, should he
carefully read The subject matter
: should be given careful and thoughtful
consideration to the end that the reader
may vote with reasonable comprehen-
sion of the questions at issue.
There is undoubtedly a tendency on
the part OF some parties to be governed
solely by personal feelings, and who con-
--ceive it their duty tooppose anything and
everything favored by this or that man
without adducing single argument in
support of their position. In matters
concerning the public veal personalities
should have no place and the questions
at issue should be discussed on their
merits. This is no season for factious
chickering's. The hour is pregnant with
better times; the lowest ebb Of hard times
and financial depression has been reached
and passed; the outlook is Frightening
daily and steady improvement in all
lines Of business may now be confidently
looked for.
The city is practically taking fresh
start, and the solidity Of the foundations
for her future greatness will largely de-
pend upon the good judgement of her
citizens at this trying period of her ex-
istence. Each individual elector has the
right to his own opinion, but every phaze
of the proposed bond issue, or extention
OF credit should receive the consideration
its Importance demands, and if the
Judgement of the voter be against the
bonds, he may yet see the necessity of
voting the credit in order that the salary
list and current city expenses (which will
the0 he two months in arrears) may be
paid until such time as decision may be
reached in the delinquent tax suits.
