No wonder the people on the South Side
are indignant because no electric lines are
run into that part of the city when they
have been extended over miles of highway
on the North Side. which are very sparsely
inhabited. No portion of the city needs
rapid transit more than the South Side.
But indignation meetings will afford them
only such relief as comes from freeing their
minds. The managers will be deaf 80 lone
as the people of the South Side elect coun-
cilmen who will tumble over each other to
do the bidding of the officers of the Citl-
zens' company, as was shown when q char
ter for . competing company was before
the Council.

In the October number of the Century
Miss Mary Wilkins. who had never before
published anything but stories, had what
was afterwards decided by the critics to be
q prose pastel" but the same critics are
still discussing it. and wondering what she
was driving at. All of them seemed to
have missed the point. and to have failed
to discover the humor concealed in the
game of whist" where four people in old
time garb, and quaint. and stately speech,
indulge in q rubber. Two of them were
"a lover and his ~lass"-they are partners
in the game-and when the lady trumps
his ace the lover looks at her and
smiles. Do not the critics know
that it is q supreme test of love
to be able to emile at Q partner who trumps
the acct PLAINLY. Miss Wilkins knows.
This writer has four more of these pas
tells" In the current Century. There Is
nothing especially original about their
thought OF style. They are common enough
in the French. and Olive Schreincr has
made them familiar IN English. although
in her work they are not always detached
as here. The one entitled death" by
Miss Wilkins. is strongly suggestive of
Miss Schreiner.

TIE Democratic brethren in Franklin
are making it very disagreeable for the
Hon. George William Cooper. Nov. 20 he
wrote one of them in q manner which led
them to believe that he would meet them
and try to agree upon some plan by which
the far-off appointments of postmaster
might be settled. Without doing anything
of the sort, he notified the Franklin Demo-
cratic leaders that be had decided to recon-
mend one Samuel Harris for the position.
Thereupon there was n row in the camp.
The Franklin Republican has interviewed
some of the afflicted. who have expressed
themselves freely, as the following ex-
tracts show:
j. A. Schmith said: at looks as IL it were Mr..
C0opers appointment OIL personal preference,
Mr.. cooper has made a mistake. He should
nave come to Franklin as he promised and
found out what the Democrats wanted"
Fred staff said: Cooper has lied like a dog.
BILE treatment. He has decided the case before
he heard it. Cooper has broken his promises
and acted in bad faith. He will regret it,"
Ben Brown said: "YOu may quote me as say
ing that George Cooper has lied and deceived
knowingly in the matter, and has deceived bis
best friends in an ungentlemanly manner. He
has shown himself to be a coward in that he has
not come to Franklin and given all a fair show.

In the city, ah, so many have tried
And failed, aud tried again, my

And dragged their weary lines
along,
Battling SO hard for the right.
But all, SO oft they go wrong.
We babe him Godspeed with bitter
tears
And sent him on the way,
You know the rest, my boy, he fills
A drunkard's grave today.
Think of the poor old mother, Joe,

And the many hours she has spent
Kneeling for you In prayer.

Party Politics a Blessing.

The condition OF our local politics
must lead every thoughtful citizen to
conclude that genuine party politics
would be blessing in comparison to
the present unsatisfactory, demon
allied condition of affairs. A few
years ago it became fashionable for a
large number OF our best citizens to
CLAIM that they were national repub.
licsns, but were opposed to party poll
itics in the choice OF our local officers;
The result has been, that the people
have given up running party ckets
for local Offices, and the officials have
formed an office holders trust,
com mining under one management,
the county and city elections. This
combination has all the power OF the
patronage OF the county and city gov
erDments. The eXtravsgance and
reckless management of both county
aud city governments has startled the
people, but in the presence OF q power
full combination of office holders,
they feel helpless to make q change.
There being no local party organize
ton to put in shape a campaign, the
people, If they want d change must
arise and in all awkward way organ
iZe against the men who hold their
offices and have the purse of the tax.
payers in their hands to carry out
their program, no matter how Dol6 or
illegal such a program may be.
There was q revolt started in the
democratic party against Bryan
CalIsghan, but that revolt only ex.
tended to state politics; Callsg han is
still boss of the democracy and there
will be no attempt to put out q
/ straight democratic ticket as it suits
Mr.. Callaghan's purp' ses better to
take up the old set of officials and put
himself at their head, not being par
ticular whether they are democrats or
repu blicans.
The repu blican party is locally dis
organized, and to this mistaken idea
that local politics should be separated
from state and national politics
The truth is all the good men for
office are to be found, inside of the
political parties, and strictly party

best material for local offices. 1t
would be a good plan for the repub.

The Two Jobs.

In the center OF the Military square
stands the new city hall, il is Mayor
Callaghan's job, and poor one it is
too, yet under his management in
round figures IL cost one hundred
Thousand more dollars than origin
ally contracted tor.
Within very few years it will he
regarded as unfit for city build
ing But in comparison with the
building now in process OF
erection by the county fronting
Main plaza, the city hall is a
mere play thing. This is the county
job, and it is the most gigantic piece
OF fraud ever perpetrated on com.
munity. From the purchase of the
site to the adoption OF the plans, from
the adoption of the plans to the dig
ging of the hole in the ground; from
the hole to the concrete foundation to
the letting of the iron ard steel
work, the job has kept on
developing and now promises to be
perfect bonanza of public robbery and
corruption, what more natural than
that Bryan should long to be boss
over q job that will dwarf his little
city hall into insignificsnce.
If the people dou't wake up
they will find out that they
might as well surrender their estates
at once to Bryan Callsgbsn & Co.
The two jobs are fairly IN sight,
look at them; and keep your eyes on
the boss
