WHAT TO DO WITH OUR RETIRED
ADMIRAI,S

The question of what TO do with our ex-
Presidents has been much discussed,
though as far as known no ex-President
has ever found any trouble in settling it
for himself. If it should ever be raised in
reference to our retired admirals a prece-
dent can be found right here in the case
of Admiral Brown. who has been appointed
road viewer to view the extension of a
road in one of the out townships and has
accepted the appointment. 1t comes from
the County Commissioners and is the more
honorable because ii was unsolicited. 1t
is a of the office seeking the man.
The admirals prompt acceptance of the
office is characteristic of him. He accepted
it as he would a detail to naval duty. AS
a retired naval officer he is under no obli-
cations to take orders from the County
Commissioners, and in doing so he has
set an example of good citizenship which
others could well afford to emulate. If
the office of road viewer were a federal
Office with a salary or compensation at
tached. however small. Admiral Brown
could not have accepted it, as an act of
Congress forbids any person in the employ
Of the government from drawing two sal
aries, but that question cannot come up in
this case. Road viewers are allowed 81 per
day for the time actually employed, but
as there is no extra allowance for trans
portation or Communication, and nothing for
clerk hire, the office can hardly be called
a lucrative one Its duties are not onerous
and whatever responsibility attaches to the
Office is shared by three viewers, who will
also have the assistance of a chain carrier
and a marker. Admiral Brown entered the
United States navy in 1S49 and was in the
service nearly fifty years before going on
the retired list. He has sailed in all seas
and touched at nearly all ports but this
will be the first civil office he has ever
held. and as he is not a partisan he would
probably have declined this one if it had
involved any duty of a distinctly political
character. But ii does not as the duties of
a road viewer are strictly nonpartisan. The
admiral's acceptance of the office is a les
son in good citizenship, and may help to
settle the question, if it is ever raised.

TO authorize the expenditure of a portion
OF the emergency fund Of $4,000 at his
control 10 suppress contagious smallpox
is misleading. Some time in January the
Board OF Health made such a suggestion.
but IT was not considered favorably be-
cause the board at that time had an un-
expended appropriation for the specific pur-
pose OF suppressing contagious diseases.
No request has been made by the board
for the use OF the emergency fund recently.
and there is no epidemic such as would
warrant the use of an emergency fund.

BUT Scourge OF the Canadian WildS
Will Not Voluntarily Attack Man.
Scarcely another animal presents
such a striking picture of savage
hatred, of uncompromising ferocity, as
a Canadian lynx at bay. Tha. brutal
head, with low forehead, beneath,
which two cruel eyes are blazing like
evil stars; that fierce display of teeth
between the parted wrinkled lips, and
the massive, powerful feet, hiding
fiesh-tearing hooks of living steel, all
impress the beholder with the fact
that personal encounter with a Can
adam wildcat must end in death for
at least one of the combatants.

gressive in his attitude toward men

he follows belated hunters through
