MOLINE MENTION

Bids for the asphalt paving on F'if
tecnth street, were opened yesterday
afternoon by the board of local i'm
provements. The Barber people were
lowest with bid of S57, ,655.S6. Ad-
verse action was taken by the board
to the petition of the Moline Chau-
tauqua committee asking that the
paving on the street be deferred till
the close of this years session at
Prospect Park July 21. The board
felt that to delay such an extensive
Improvement to so late season
would be to endanger the successful
completion of the job this year and
possibly the durability of the pave
ment. y mile or more of pavement
is To be laid and with it extensive
work by the street ear people in i'm
proving their tracks. 1t is under
stood that the boards decision defcrs
the Chautauqua session till the sum
Iner of 1908. The Chautauqua COM
mittee would not accept clause in
the paving contract that traffic to
the park be not interfered with dur
ing the progress of the Chautauqua,
though MIR. Lardner, of the street ear
company, agreed to see that all who
desired it should secure tranSporta-
tion facilities.

And vet this simple statement of
fact, in the hands of the mental
contortionist of lone, is a decidedly
unfair apology" The most gener.
Gus construction we can place upon
such verdict, is that he is unable
to distinguish between a poly-gee
and a polliwog.
In conclusion, we may add that
when the Ledger needs the advice
of the Echo on matters of newspaper
morality, it will so inform him. At
present we are con tent to follow the
dictates of our own Judgment,
fallible though it be, but always
honestly exercised, We will con-
tinue to criticise acts which in our
opinion are deserving of criticism.
We have no desire to prey upon the
gullible about airship fake yarns,
for personal ends. Neither are we
disposed to villify the great bulk of
the people of Amador county by
designating them as hogs in hog
towns, and sundry other choice
breaks all made within the compass
of six months, without blinking of
the journalistic eye. We suggest
that this sort of newspaper oracle
pack his unsolicited advice to au-
other market; we want none of it.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years, and is a regular prescrip.
tion. 1t is composed OF the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mu-

Now that each political party has
presented a full county ticket for
the consideration of the voters, the
earnest work of the campaign may
be said to be fairly inaugurated.
Usually, canvass for local Offices
resolves itself into test of personal
popularity almost exclusively. 1t is
rarely that an issue of a general
character is presented in a struggle
Tor the possession of the remuuer-
ative berths at the disposal for the
people of the county. But there are
exceptions to every rule, and this
year is an exception to the rule
above defined 1t may be admitted,
and the Ledger does SO without hesi-
tation, that both parties have nomi-
mated capable men for the Offices to
be filled. We have nought to say
against the personal fitness of the
democratic candidates who are now
before the people for reelection.
The democratic administration OF
county affairs which we have lived
under for several terms is neither
the worst nor the best government tai
period Amador county has had.
Mict al-oC bnvo hoa, ,,olo - ;e frpo
by each individual office holder;
some of them grievious and costly
ones; but mistakes are inseparable
from human nature, and no change
of party can be expected to bring
about d political millennium Man
for man, we believe the republican
nominees are the peers of their dem
ocratic opponents. as regards hon
esty and all other essential quaiti-
cations. 1t would be absurd, and
tend to injure the republican cause,
to contend that individually the
candidates of that party are all
right, and the others are all wrong.
We do not propose to follow any
such untenable line in advocating
the election of the republican ticket
We must also strongly dissent to the
position taken by speaker in the
democratic conven ton, who in nomi
mating candidate said, He has
paid every dollar into the county
treasury, what more do you want .
While the prompt payment of rev,
enue collected is an important item,
it falls long way short of being a
sufficient reason for reelection.
Indeed, that was a bold plea fol
perpetuity in office. 1t shows how
in advocating not only third term
but fourth term, democracy is
driven to the necessity of saying
that life term mortgage is not OBJ
iectionable TO them-a policy utterly
at variance with American ideas.
