1t is proper and desirable that the
inspectors of election should be repu-
table citizens. capable OF performing the
duties assigned to them. Past expert
cnce las shown that many incapable
men have fillcd the position. and much
trouble has been caused by their stupid
!ty and ignorance.
The Good Government Clubs have
resolved to make inquiry into the char
acter OF all persons named as inspec-
tors. and President Roosevelt has prom.
ised that the spy system shall be SET
to work to find out all about them. 1t
is to he hoped that by some means or
other good men will be secured to take
charge of the polls next November.
But Mr. Roosevelt adds: III they don't
give US such men as we want We will
select them ourselves"
The law provides how inspectors OF
election shall be chosen and appointed

About o'cock Sunday afternoon there appeared
on the platform OF one OF the bathing houses at
Coney Island two colored women dressed In very
v,udy colored costumes cut the way Founder
Bradley, OF Asbury Park, would not allow In his
dominion. As soon they started to go into the
water they had crowd OF several hundred peo-
pie following and guyIng them numerically. A.
soon as they attempted to enter the water the peo-
pie began throwing sand and water In their
faces They would not even let them get knee deep
in the water. The tw ooored women put up
with the annoyance for awhile but their blood
bcran to boil and they started in at thetr tor
mentors and began throwing shells or whatever
came handy which only caused the crowd TO get
bo!der, and they deliberately carried them In near
