ley? We have not been able Ia discern
his name anywhere on the published

name from that particular piece Of
newspaper literature that has caused
Lyman Cooley to break forth into a

unthinking. unrchecting public Of
course knows nothing on the subject.

what to do. Cooley Ia an expert In the

various remarkable items of public OK.

week was one payment made to I'd

ton Of billie" T.oefiicr, by the
West Town. Board. This payment,

much controversy ut the meeting Of the

Novak legal representative of the

Of SI.SOO for services. He had previous.

The DRAINAGE TRUSTEES.

Some months ago the Chicago Eagle
had something 10 say about the con-
duct of the affairs of the Sanitary DIS
trict. and of the Board of Trustees.
What II then said was true ana time
~. The facts at that time set forth In
the columns of This paper are now be-
Ing rehashcd by some of our contcM'
pOrarlcs for some reason or other, ana
"A sort of warfare is being waged
against the members of the board. The
payroll apparently Is the main Objcc-
tive point of attack. But in an under
taking involving cost of something
like forty million dollars to yet well
under way. the discussion of n few
hundred dollars a month for n few
dozen employees, more or less, seems To
bc Il waste Of time.
Al will admit, whatever the merits
OF the present controversy may be,
that under the presidency OF Thomas
4. Smyth, the affairs Of the Drainage
Board are being administered ably,
honestly and Judiciously. Mr.. Smyth
Is man who has the confidence OF the

and esteem of all who have the pleas

ROWE'S GOOD ACCORD.

Mr.. Fred II. Rowe has made good
record as chairman Of the Republican

fact that he has undertaken to take
an active part in politics. Just how
far Mr. Rowe has violated the amcni.
ties appertaining to the office Of chair
man of a state central committee. In
this regard. we are unable to say. That
IL n question that must be left to the
decision of those who have taken issue
with him on the subject and who are
absolutely disintercstei In the matter
Meantime it may not he out of place ia
say that Mr.. Rowe handled u winning
campaign for his party In this state on
q historic occasion. and that for tina,
reason. If for no other, he seems to on
joy the esteem Of the common pcopl,
