"A GIGANTIC STEAL"

~sOne Of the biggest things congress
will have before it this year will be the
river and harbor appropriation. This
as a gigantic steal, and there ought to
DE enough honest men In congress
TO defeat it. Usually there IS little
difficulty about it, however, as all
congressman have small jobs of their
own, and many of them are willing to
trade their votes for the big appropria-
4ion in order to get their own little ones

has long been the disgrace of congress
and the nation"

Montgomery is the county
which Governor Stanley has
finally settled upon in which
to make a test case as to
whether the old sheriffs hold
over Or whether new ones
must be appointed. He will
make all appointment next
Monday, January 18th, at
noon. He takes the position
that he has no power to make
the appointn ent before that
time because there will be no
vacancy until then. This
was the position the Popu-
lists and democrats took in
the county superintendent
controversy in this county
a year ago but a republican
Board Of commissioners took
the bit in their mouths a
week before time in to order
install a republican. Now it
comes from their own COVER
nor's lips that they usurped
authority which they did
not have.

WHOSE OK?

The Index has no special interest In
the matter as to whether the present
clerk. register of deeds and surveyor
mold their offices another year or not.
out We are amused to observe the atti-
fude OF certain republican politicians
Cd this question. A year ago when the
same question arose as to whether the
old superintendent held the Office until
IL. l. Lakes term began In May, or
whether the commissioners had the
spower To appoint to serve from Janu
AIRY until May, every mothers son of
the BIG Four and their allies shouted
from the housetops that the commits
'sioners had the power to appoint.
They did so and F. NJ. Shell surrender
ed the office. Now when the same
question arises this year and it IS a re
publican's turn to surrender, the gang
fights like cats at midnight to hold the
office. YOu see the republican OK Is
gored this time and what was law
year ago, in their estimation, is not
law now.
The Index has no fight to make on
the gentlemen who hold these offices,
but If they should be ousted, or if they
are put TO any trouble or expense in
holding their offices, they should re-
member that their party leaders set the
precedent. If they are Wronged now,
was not Frank Shell wronged year
ago? Now is an opportune time to treat
our republican friends to dose of
their own medicine.

If Governor Stanley is sus-
tanned in the appointment of
a Sheriff next week, he will
appoint one in every county
in the state. He will recog.
nize a vacancy in counties
where a sheriff has served
only one term as we'll as
in counties in which the
sheriff has held the office
two terms. We make this
sta tement in order to set Ger.
tair parties right who seem
to be under the impression
that the test case will apply
only to second term sheriffs
ard treasurers.

= 1t is very natural that
Governor Stanley should Sc
lect a county having a popu-
list sheriff in which to make
a test case, and considering
the personnel of our supreme
court, we are inclined to
think that the Populist sher-
If will have to walk the
chalk line. But if he does,
there may be others of the
same political faith of Stan.

According to the rulings
recently made by Third AS
sistant Postmaster Gen. Mad
den, no paper is entitled to
second class privileges which
sends papers to subscribers
in arrears or to persons
whose subscription is paid
by friend. This is not the
law; it is simply a ruling de-
vised by Madden who is am
bilious to pose as a Gar. IF
President Roosevelt wants
to get rid of a first
class egotist and an incom.
petent subordinate, he should
turn his batteries loose OH
that fellow Madden.
