GERS, and we believe, it has also in
timated the extension might profit

county officers. This strikes lis
exactly aS il does the Starkc Telc-
graph, aS Il far fetched way of ar
irving ut Il conclusion that the
public can always reach without
being hedged about or trammelcd
by iron clad constitutional law.
The nomination and election of
officers, under the present system,
is entirely in the hands of the peo-
pie. They can make such changes
rs seem eXpedient in any election
year they desire, and a constitu-
tiOnal limitation might be exceed
ingly embarrassing at times when
there was Il general desire to retain
a particularly meritOriOus officer.

The sugar industry OF that colony has
for several years been in a very de-

the Industry from the very low condi-

The auction at the Drill Shed was OF

able citizens of these Islands. To hold
these goods in storage was to make
them the spoil of vermin and moths; to
sell them was to secure the preservation

mitted or intended.

Rudyard Kipllng is not far out OF the
way when he lays the bad condition OF
The British Army to the anti-milltary
views OF the British public. Though
full OF enthusiasm when their troops
win victories, the Anglo-Saxons are
critical and suspicious of soldiers In
time Z. peace and do but little to en-
courage them. This is feeling in
herted from the far away English time
when soldiers represented the tyranny
Of the King over the people. Both the
British and American armies have
been held down to the lowest practical
bic numerical point and there is al
ways a desire, when wars end, to re-
duce the military establishment to a
skeleton. II is difficult. under such
circumstances for either Great Britain
or the United States to take the field in
great force and go at the business OF
Sighting scientifically They have to
learn as they go along and that is an
undertaking full OF peril In the face OF
disciplined foe.

travel faster than he could on a bicycle

Such vehicle would be Of great utility

its way into use everywhere soon after
