She grows to expect it after u first eX-

thousands of dollars if he manufac-
lures garments that are one-half an
inch too short in the waist or too small
about the shoulders for the prevailing

On model, who was for years with a
leading cloak house, tells of her first

and hip measure, but her waist was too
small by two inches, and there We're

&" TO INFLUENCE VOTERS.

Ii the Barksdale Pure Election law
means anything it means that all men
are TO stand on a common level in the
matter OF asking for and running for
public office. 1t puts the penniless
man on perfect political equality with
the man who counts his dollars bv the
thousands and the millions. 1t intends
to let merit be the real standard bv
which popularity at the polls is to be
weighed and measured.
The very first section of that act
reads
That no candidate for Congress, OF
any State, county, district or municipal
officer shall expend, promise or loan
any money or other VALUABLE
thing TO INFLUENCE VOTERS IN
HIS BEHALF or permit the same TO

THE NEXT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

THE NEXT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
1t may sound trite to repeat what
every body knows, that the Board of
Supervisors of county are the most
important of all its officers. This is
apparent TO every one who will give
the matter a moments thought. A
new Board is 20 be elected this fall.
Several Of the present incumbents have
already announced their candidacy for
reelection. The record of these gen
tlemen is welllnown to the people of
the county. 1t = for the people to say
whether or not they shall Toe continued
in office.
AS to how the affairs Of the county
have been managed receipts and
expenditures in detail is known fully
emily to the Board and n few others
who are in positions TO know. We are
sure the public knows almost absolute
" nothing about it.
The present Board cannot make this
race upon their past record. unless
they will let the voters know what that
record is. They cannot come before
the people on their previous record
without publishing this record.
These gentlemen will see now the
reasonableness Of the demand for
several years, that the Board publish
their reports. If these reports
made a good showing, satisfac-
tory TO the public, there would.
perhaps, be no necessity for the pre-
sent Board TO seek the Office. The
office would seek them. The TAXPAYERS.
who furnish the money would be, not
only willing hut anxious for their con-
tinuance in Office, and would ask their
reelection. But, under the existing
conditions how can the voters know
whether or not the present Board is n
suitable one TO manage the financial af-
fairs of this great county And hence
the wisdom of publishing the receipts
and disbursements, which we have in
sisted upon for several years, will readi-
ly appear to the Board itself.
We have heard no insinuation nor do
we even hint ut such, that there is
anything wrong in the management of
the countys affairs. But what we
wish to ask is, upon what grounds do
these candidates ask to be returned TO
office Their records should he n
sufficient ground, and these records
are. absolutely unknown to the mass of
voters, whose money they have handl-
ed, and will continue to handle. if re-
elected.
Now, there is only one course open
to the voters, viz: If the present can.
didates, or others who may announce
themselves, do not promise before hand
TO let the public know how the public
money is spent, refuse to vote for
them, turn them down, and put in men
who will do 50. This paper promises
what little influence it may have shall
be used against the election ofany can
didate for this office - Democrat O,
Republican - who does not pledge
himself to comply strictly with the
spirit and letter OF the law, on this sub.
lect. And we call upon every voter OF
the county, irrespective OF party. te
take the same stand.
