THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW.

From the different stories ailoat in this
county in regard to an alleged shortage in
ex-county collector Graham's Office il would
seem that the people are entitled To know
the facts. 1t would further appear that the
county court could perform duty To the
people, whose servants they are, if they
would issue an official statement concerning
this much talked of allegation.
The records of the court shows that on
February %. 1901. that said court accepted
and approved of the final settlement of col
lector Graham. Since then it has been cur
rently reported in this place and in various
other places of the county that Mr.. Graham
has been called on to pay in to the court
various sums of money, some say $500.
Others something over 1000, and that the
account is still open.
Now, just what way or by what means
the county could approve of collectors
final settlement and then call on the collec-
TO stand up and deliver large sums of money
for the next two or three months is n thing
the people would like to know.
If the court suspected there was short
age ON Feb. 2S, they certainly should not
have accepted Mr.. Graham's settlement.
If the court did not suspect II shortage
and based their belief ON proper facts and
data which they could have had and which
they should have had, it would still seem
strange that the cX-collector should be called
upon to pay over so much money us is now
alleged that he has paid over.
Have the people no rights? must all
these allegations be ''sicklied over with the
pale cast of thought, that thrift may follow
fawning' in the wake of the party and the
servants who now have charge of affairs in
the county?
These questions are too big for politics.
too big for partisans! The inalenable
rights OF the people of this county are
at stake and justice should not be empaled
and mercy called upon to shed tears over car
ron flesh, The people, generally. would
like to have some cold hard facts about these
things.

With all their howl about Cleveland IN

years, the Democratic party is just as GER

the sun rises. There isn't anything else they
can do, unless it is join the Republican party,
and this large number of the more sensible
ones have done. However. it's not II hard
thing for the Democratic party to do to go

CHARTER CHANGES SUGGESTED.

PROFESSOR GOoDNow TELLS THE SOCIAL RE-
FORM CLUB SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL
POINTS OF THE COMMITTEES REPORT.
The Social Reform Club met last night and heard
Professor Frank J. GoOdnow. of Columbia ITniver-
sity' explain what Improvements the Charter Re
vision Committee had recommended in its report
70 the Legislature. He said he considered the
committee had made some improvements in the
proposed new over the old charter. Under the
present charter II had been shown that one or
two members or either branch Of the Municipal
Assembly could hold up bond issues and cause a
good deal Of delay TO public works. This power
would be taken away from the members when one
branch of the Assembly was abolished and the
power vested in the new Board Of Aldermen.
Another improvement which the Charter Com
missioners had recommended vas the taking away
from the heads Of departments Of the power to
increase the salaries Of the department employees
Another was the plan of having single headed com
missions, and giving the Mayor power TO remove
them az any time. instead OF only during the first
six months OF his term, at present.
