THE VOTE FOR WOMEN IS AS FOLLOWS:

vote, while the candidate Of Michaud

In fact. as heretofore stated, there is
not candidate who does not stand
chance Of winning the coveted journey,
if he wishes to go after it. ia s-.a
The vote for the women is running
along much more evenly, but at any
time the lowest name on the list may
appear at the head. The contest is a
pretty one. Miss Guthunz, represent
ing Habighorst & Co., still leads, this

Schunneman & Evans candidates, a
close second. Miss Films vote was
heavy yesterday. Birdie Benner, repre-

of the taxation imposed by this BILL to
which Mr.. Tillman would not make
this form of opposition. In it's final
stages as in it's inception the tariff
bill is simply a huge product OF the
log rolling operation, to whose support
men are brought by the bride of special
favor to their districts or states, at the
expense Of other people. For this kind
of selfishness we have no more ad-
miration than for the selfshness of the
baron. 1t is all dyed in the same wool
and cut off the same piece of goods.
The avowed purpose of the recalci-
trant senators is not 60 kill the bill
finally, which they do not believe will
be necessary, but to secure the grant
of personal favor by the hold-up proc
ess, after which the bill may go
through.

nothing but loss, economically as we'll

duties, the sooner it goes into opera
ton the better on all accounts. The
only benefit is the substitution of
certainty for uncertainty and the estab
lishment of a scale of tariff taxation
that can be counted on as permanent
for the short time until the people get
a chance at it. If we are to have
change at all, and scarcely any one
doubts it, then the sooner that change,
evil though it be, is accomplished the
better it will be for those who suffer
from it. In all departments of trade
the worst of evils is uncertainty and
the fear of change. We need hardly
say at this date that what congress
ought to do with the tariff bill is to
kill it incontinently. If it does not in
tend to do that, if the bill is to be
passed in some shape or other then the
sooner that is done the better. The
whole country is wearied of the dis
cussion, and Inundated and disguised
with the chaffering of the last four
months in the congressional market
place. 1t is ashamed and disgraced by
the obvious connection between tariff
making and speculation, with the two
houses Of congress and the stock mar
ket bobbing up and down in unison.

quickly as may be- Either kill the

ONE THING TO COMMEND.

We have had such frequent and nee
essary occasion to criticise the actions
Of the new administration that it is a
real pleasure to find it doing some
thing, or preparing to do something,
that appears to be in the interest of
public, rather than private affairs The
instructions issued by Secretary Bliss
to the general land office, relating to
its dealings with railroads that were
aided by the guarantee of their bonds,
are in the right line. The only wonder
which they provoke is that any other
policy should ever have been adopted
or carried out, or even thought of. Sec
rotary Bliss orders that sales of their
land grants by such companies shall be
held valid only when they occurred be-
fore the road itself defaulted in the
payment of principal or interest on its
bonds. The idea that these great cor
porations should first have received
immense land grants to help them in
building their roads; that they should
then have induced the government to
guarantee the payment of their bonds;
and that they should then sell the
lands for cash, while defaulting and
compelling the people themselves to
pay or lose principal or interest of the
bonds, is surely one of the most re-
markable phases of the whole history Of
the relation between governments and
people. By this the public is twice
mulcted. 1t gives up valuable prop
erty in the shape of available public
lands for nothing, and the recipient re-
spends by requiring the donor to pay
his debts for him.
This is only one more item in the in
terminable list of scandals which at
taches to the unhappy policy of assist
ing private enterprise by public funds
and of granting a federal guarantee
for the payment of any obligation of
private corporation. It is not prob
able that the amount recovered by the
government will be considerable. but
the policy outlined by these instruc-
tons is the right one. Unlikely as it is
that at this late day we shall ever re-
alize much from the debts owed by the
Pacific railroads, our experience will
have been worth what it has cost, if it
shall only teach us to steer clear of
all such complications hereafter. I'm
fortunately, the history of the Mica
ragua job and the strong support that
it has been able to secure from politi-
cal parties and men high in public life,
indicate that, costly as this lesson has
been, it may yet have to be repeated
before it is learned

commissioners he will call the atten-
ton of that body to the case.
The matter has been discussed by
several Of the members of the board Of
county commissioners, and the more
partisan representatives of the commits
sioners see in the affair a chance to
get in their work and secure several
good jobs for faithful and hungry
members of the grand old party. One
of the commissioners stated last even
ing that as the deputy sheriffs were
now paid salaries by the county, he
saw no reason why the county commits
sioners should not have the appointing
of the deputies. His idea was that.
if the sheriff was under the impression
that he was not responsible for the
acts of his deputies, it would be no
more than right for the county to as
sumo the responsibility by appointing
good men to the positions of deputy
sheriffs. He put the accent on good
men, but it was evident from his talk
that he meant good Republicans.
Sheriff WAGNER, when asked about
the matter, said there was really moth
ing he could say for publication and re-
fused to talk concerning the case.

CHECK CAUSING TROUBLE.
County Treasurer and Sheriff Have
Something in Dispute.

County Treasurer Edmund looks eX
pectantly UP from his desk whenever
any person walks toward that piece of
furniture at which he is seated during
office hours. The reason for this is
that the county treasurer has been
threatened with mandamus suit. and
h. is not only expecting the service of
the papers, but hoping they VIII
served.
The person who threatens to bring
the action is Sheriff Wagner, and the
reason for such proceedings is that the
county treasurer refuses to pay to the
sheriff the amount due him for board
ing prisoners for the month of June.
The board Of county commissioners al
lowed the claim of the sheriff for feed
ing the inmates of the Jail, but the
county auditor refuses to pay over the
money until Sheriff Wagner has set
tied a check for 1927, which the county
treasurer holds and across the face OF

On July 1 Sheriff Wagner, through
his chief deputy, George Allen. now de-

collected by the sheriff during the
month of June The total amount of
the fees was 1898, and the collateral
handed in with the report Included
cash and checks, a number OF the lat
ter from attorneys who had paid the
sheriff for services rendered in this
form instead Of cash. AS part or the
total amount was a check for $231,
drawn in favor of Frank Edmund, and
signed by the chief deputy. Several
days later the check came back from
the bank on which it was drawn
