|ITl is QUITE unfortunate that a young man of such splendid qualities Of
mind and brilliant possibilities as Joe Bailey possesses should subject
himself to ridnue and make himself an object of contempuous reference by
every newspaper in the land by refusing to do the proper thing-the wearing
of n dress coat toa fashionable entertainment. 1t Is the customof the coun.
try to wear such clothing on an occasion of that kind, and 1t is not a bad
custom. If Mr.. Bailey felt that he did not have time to waste on social al.
fairs he should have said SO and left the coat out of it. 1t looks as II the
brilliant young statesman wanted to have it said that the democratic party
in congress had elected II leader who had built his platform on the tail Of his
coat in order that his name might be talked in the land. 1t Is very unfortu.
nate. Mr.. Bailey is Il man of intellect and has ample powers to attract at.
tentlon without making himself absurd to bring himself to notice.

eeAD IHEapproval by the board Of upervisorsof LedoreCo Of
eenMie3looea. the act recently passed by the legislature, or rather, which
recently became a law, authorizing the board Of supervisors Of the various
counties to employ = road commissioner, was a very sensible and proper thing
to dc. Good roads are indispensable. They add more to the prosperity
growth general convenience and deirability Of a community than any other
one thing. At the June meeting of the board the road commissioner will be
elected. The law authorizes the payment Of a good salary O'5.OO per
month"; and the hoard should see to it that the right man is elected. It'll
a very responsible and important office. One in which to perform the duties
properly will require executive ability, courage and energy. That the board
will name a suitable person we have no doubt. Lefore county has never had
a board that was more devoted to the interest Of the county than the pres
et. They are men Of courage, devoted to principle and true to their Of
fetal obligations.

nAo ns \ENATOR BRAMLETT should not insist upon holding his place
KtMuvLU in the senate upon a mere technicaNty tits manifest that the
state constitution contempates that a senator should live O. reside in the district
which he represents 1t says that he shall be a n actual resident OF the district
or territory he may be chosen to represent two years before his election Mind
you, he must be an 'o4ud resident for two years before the election. He can't
be u resident of one county and retain his citizenship in another, and exercise the
right to vote there as is often done, but he must have been a dwener in the dis
tnct or territory, etc. The constitution provides further That the seat Of q
senator shall be vacated upon his removal from the district from which he was
elected Now, it would be absurd to contend that he would be required tor re-
side in the district before his election and merely retain his citizenship in the
district after his election. We feel quite sure that the trainers of the conshtn-
ton didnot intend to make that distinction The language of the constitution does
not warrant such a construction or is it sanctioned by reason and common
sense. If what is charged by the executive committee be true, DR. Bramlet is
not entitled to seat in the senate as the representative of the 9th district That
is all there is to it, The doctor is very excellent gentleman, and is making q
good representative, but he has forfeited his right to the Office which he insists
upon holding and we think he should gracefully retire. We desire to state in
Justice to Dr. Bramett that he has placed the matter before the judiciary com,
