Bad management OF the $4,000 bond
Issue has cost the city something for
which it gets nothing. It is evident
that there was carelessness in adver-
tising for and accepting bids without
exacting the customary certified check
for guarantee purposes. This left the
city unable TO enforce the contract for
sale Of the bonds upon the bid which
was Improperly accepted The city was
therefore compelled to readvertise for
bids or to cancel the bonds. Talk of a
suit against the firm to whom tho sale
was awarded was empty, since there
was no contract that could be enforced.
The advertising is a dead loss, as is the
cost Of the bonds and all other expenses
involved; and the whole feeble and
aborted business is to be charged to
Democratic mismanagement Of city af-
fairs.

to be assumed that the Council or the
mayor will proceed otherwise.
They have decided TO take the con-
troll Of the collection. removal and de-
struction Of garbage, relieving the
Board Of Health of that work This
was for the reason that the health de-
partment is at present under control OF
Republicans, and therefore not con
veniently available for Democratic po-
litical rewards in the way Of contracts
and employment. This condition will
change next May, and it may be hoped
that the duties properly devolylne
upon the department will then be re-
stored to the board.
There is reason to fear that the
change decided upon by the Council

Judge Ermentrout, Of Reading, in

idea conveyed ds certainly impractical

There ought TO be no longer any diff
hculty about securing the congressional
action urged by the American Flag AS
ISOLATION. This association has long
urged Congress to pass law to pro
hibit PROCLAMATION and misuse Of the
national flag. Their latest pamphlet
gives a great variety and a large list of
abuses Of the flag: and it also details
numerous cases in which flags have
been destroyed to show contempt for
IT, The association urges that it should
not be permissible for prize fighters TO
wear our flag when engaged in fighting
in violation Of laws; that it's use for
advertising purposes should be rigidly
prohibited. The reprehensible use OF
the nag printed In colors for advertis-
ing purposes" says the pamphlet. "is
an object lesson in disrespect Of the
symbol Of our country and produces
pernicious results. Patterns Of tn,
American flag, used as labels, have. be
