In would be a good thing if va

In would be a good thing if you
could run politics on the Sunday
school plan. 1t would do away with
runners, grafters, heelers and other
paraphernalia SO essential to have
around at election time. But we
think the office should seek the man
not the man seek the office. But it
costs money to hold an election and
the county pays it. But there are
always several Thousand dollars
spent for necessary legitimate ex-
penses, which have to be collected
from the different candidates and
contributors to the party fund.
Every candidate has to put up his
assessment, which the party man
ayers place upon the office to which
they aspire. The sheritf's Office
used to be worth more than any
other Office, when the Jail was at
New Castle and the prisoners fed by
that official. Now the Office is a
salaried one at $4,000 a year, with
$1,000 allowed for deputies to assist
the sheriff. The best county Office
Is that of Recorder of Deeds the
next lest is that of Register of
Wills, while Clerk of the Orphans
Court contains comfortable living.
For all these offices there are num-
erons Republican candidates already
announced The Democrats are not
very active, and few candidates as
yet have announced themselves for
