to office of man who has so little
regard for the law and for decency as
Arosin exhibited There was some
discussion as to whether the master

All of which is the result of the
oVerbearing nature Of Mr. Arosin
Another instance of his attitude to-
ward the public Is shown in the way he
forced the Juvenile department Of the
ptloltc library out Of it's quarters In the
city hall
SHUT OUT THE CHILDREN.
Mr.. Arosin is very fashionable and
fastidious young man, and he himself
is authority for the statement that he

OUT When he had quite made up his
mind that he looked like Hobson he
found his surroundings at fire head
quarters out of all proportion to his
oeserV1ngs. The rooms weren't digni-

The Republican candidate for county
treasurer has in everything shown his
utter disregard for public opinion, but
he does not stop there.
NO USE FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
1t occurred some time ago that a
member of the Grand Army of the Re-
public was a candidate for appointment
to the place of marketmaster. He went
to Arosin and asked for his indorse-
ment, saying that he was an old SOL
der. Arosin looked at him through
his glasses, with the supercilious air
that marks him when he comes In
touch with the common people, and he
is reported to have said:
You old soldiers are a nuisance. If
L had my choice between supporting an
old soldier for an Office or supporting q
niger, don't know what would do"
Which shows at once the regard the
man has for the old soldier and also
demonstrates that he has no very high
opinion of colored men when he could
think Of no other comparison.
